We also grind all our wheat from scratch. Just make sure you’re storing it in the freezer to preserve it’s nutrition or you’ll lose all of it in as little as 72 hours or less.

Blessings!

We also have those essentials on hand always. I’m lucky to have a friend who will grind wheat berries so I get fresh wheat flour at the fraction of the cost. I usually get the rest of my necessities at Aldi like you. I’ve often wondered about dry milk powder. I’ve read that it’s a saver to use as substitution for regular milk. Do you do that at all?

And you sound like a good lady to have around with duct tape and a machete on hand!

My rock bottom stock-up price is $0.20/roll. But, keep in mind that I count a double roll as 2 when I calculate – otherwise it’s like comparing apples and duck eggs. The only similarity is that they’re round.

My other can’t-do-withouts are milk and flour since I cook from scratch so much. I’ve learned to keep a box of powdered milk and an extra bag of flour on hand at *all* times. These are multi-tasking life-savers… milk for cooking/drinking when my 7yo empties the gallon, bread, rolls, baked goods, etc. Like duct tape, inner tubes and a machete in Africa, milk and flour can fix nearly any (kitchen) situation in which I find myself! But, since they’re never really on sale, I just make sure I grab some at Aldi when I’m anywhere near low.

Good luck on getting through this crisis!

But you know…..the Charmin Basic at Staples for $4.99 is a realllllly good stock up price for 16 rolls of toilet paper and then add the 15% off coupon making it $4.24……so get to stocking up Andrea :-)
