We definitely don't have a 6-month supply but I'm a very creative cook and can stretch a food dollar carefully and healthfully.
I'm canning as much as I can right now, not because of worries about food but more because I believe in supporting local farms as much as possible. We had a terrible summer (cold, wet) so my own kitchen garden didn't do well at all. I got 4 little yellow cherry tomatoes yesterday - the first ones. The vines are covered with green tomatoes but no red ones. It's such a bummer.
