High price of life

With the price of a barrel of oil creeping up every day hitting a new high, the price of everything else is starting to go up also. We have decided to stockpile food and water. We have put away the first box this week and more will follow. We have decided to do this just in case there is a natural disaster here in America. I see a trend of more and more disasters this year, from tornadoes to earthquakes, America is being hit hard and most of it is not reported. I hope we never have to use our stockpile but we will have it ready.
