Macey's, the local grocery store, is having their case lot sale, so I decided it would be a good time to look through my food storage and see what I needed to buy to finish up my year's supply. A couple of years ago, I started purchasing a little bit each month, and I felt like I was close to being done. I found out that if I purchase just 12 buckets of storage, I would be totally caught up. I went to the grocery store, very excited about what I was about to purchase. I asked them for a special cart, because a normal grocery cart wouldn't hold 12 of the large buckets. They gave me a 6 wheeled cart that is low to the ground, much easier for loading buckets, or cases of food. I was practically done loading up, and my cart was looking rediculous, with buckets piled two high. I thought it would tip over if I turned too fast, and was worried about straining my back with the weight of it.
There were two men on the other side of the island of food, they looked a little bit out of place to me. They stopped in front of a 40 lb bucket of chocolate milk and started laughing. One said to the other, "You know what this is don't you? This is how the crazy people are going to survive the end of the world. What these idiots don't realize is they need water to go along with all this food, what are they going to do chew wheat?" Both were laughing, and I was the only person loading anything. As they walked around this mound of food buckets, there I was with my cart piled higher than I would care to admit. They kept going on about crazy people and the end of the world. I left, a little bit embarrassed, to pay for my load. Thinking... "I might be a crazy mormon buying wheat, but I don't regret being prepared!"
