Thanks for all the replies! I do have her to the point where if canned goods are on a good sale, we buy a few extra. It's the few extra on top of the few extra where I get the look. Do you remember when you were a kid, trying to sneak goodies in the cart, hoping your mom didn't see? Same situation LOL

I'll adjust the way I present it to her, and use actual real-life situations, folks are going thru as examples. I have her on board for a week or two worth of extras, but we're not prepared if we lose water, heat, or more than a couple days electricity... Come to think of it we're screwed, unless something happens in the rainy season, and folks keep the peace in old Aurora... I just ran out of propane last weekend (all three tanks), I'm out of gas mowing the lawn, I've got a small amount of Kerosene, but that'll be gone from the garage heater come winter, and I shoot more than I buy/reload. Looks like I'm going to have a busy weekend while the wife is at work. LOL
