we were talking about this this morning the wife and I, in our families it was always common practise to have a larder and to buy stuff BEFORE we ran out, also to buy stuff when it was ON OFFER rather than full price, the south west is not a well paid area so it just makes sense to save money where we can. for instance I have just restocked our Branston Baked beans 4 packs, in the local Co-oP were on offer for half price, so I bought a load and stocked up the larder. its not prepping, its being careful with money and not spending more than we have to!
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
