    Pantry Essentials to Inflation-Proof your Pantry

    Keeping a stocked pantry is one of my passions! For me, food in our pantry and freezer is Food Insurance! And buying in bulk keeps you ahead of increasing prices due to inflation.

    Canning Prep List

    Canning Lids These can be hard to find or get at an affordable price, especially during the summer. My personal goal is to always be 1-2 years ahead on canning lids because of that 2020/2021 shortage where so many stores were sold out or overpricing them. I finally found For Jars and they are cheaper per lid than what you can buy right now at Walmart or Kroger (and better quality!). Use Code ACREHOME10 for an extra 10% off at For Jars.

    Tallow Calendula Salve

    Calendula is known for being antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal, and astringent. I use this salve to soothe small cuts and abrasions. I also suffer from eczema on my hands and it has helped soothed it over the years.
