Food costs are on the rise. Every time we go shopping, something we need has gone up in price or is just flat out not available. Out-of-stock is common.
And it’s not only food. Many key items are getting more expensive or hard to get. And thats where homesteading and learning to become self-sufficient comes in. Gaining the skills to take care of yourself, even when the items you used to buy are no longer available.
And it starts by simply learning to cook at home, spending more time as a family, and even making clothing.
