We normally want to grab enough for six weeks to save the most money on your groceries, but in our current “stay at home” state having a stockpile is also very handy with grocery store shelves running low.
Let’s discuss how to start a stockpile, the hows and whys. Plus what you want to have on hand and how to use it. Let’s even go to meal planning!
Feel free to bring any off topic questions too.
If you prefer you can also watch and join in the chat on facebook.

We were supposed to have two fun freebies on March 19th and as of today they are both postponed.
While the first day of spring normally means a fun freebie from Rita’s… they announced today that they are postponing their free treats on 3/19.
Dairy Queen has also followed suit and postponed their free cone day. This is a fundraiser for Children’s Miracle Network and great cause, so they do plan on holding it later.
I’ll give you a heads up as soon as we hear the new day for the events (maybe they’ll just go with the first day of summer).

I really believe the Southern Savers community is one of the best online, and so I always love to pose questions I get to all of you and see what you think. One reader wrote in and asked what sources of financial advice I would recommend other than Dave Ramsey. I do have ideas, but I loved seeing all the responses. Instead of sharing direct quotes like I usually do on these questions, I used your responses to compile a long list of what you all think are the best financial resources.
Note: I haven’t fully investigated all of these, and some perspectives on money and frugality that you find in these resources I may not agree with, and you may not agree with! Make sure to take everything with a grain of salt and do your research.
Reader Question: What are the Best Financial Resources?
The Budget Mom | Website
Even though I’ve been on the Internet awhile, I had never run across The Budget Mom before. Her website looks like it contains lots of helpful resources on frugal living!
Howard Dayton, Compass Financial Ministries | Website
Tracy C. mentioned that there are many courses on finances and money offered by this company that are extremely helpful, including a course for teens.
You Need a Budget | Website | Book | Podcast
Emily C. said, “This system has literally changed our lives.” In addition to the book and the podcast, YNAB is a budgeting website and app that helps you track every dollar and budget. Many like it because it doesn’t allow you to forecast your income; that is, you can only budget money that you actually have in your bank account.
