Tonight I was going to post the adorable easter bunny mason jar that my Mom spent forever making specifically for this post- BUT I am a bad daughter and not only have I not found eyes for him yet but I also left my camera in the car which is at work with my husband so I can’t take and show you any pictures tonight. SO, next week- Mason Jar Easter Bunny… this week- Pantry Stocking with Mason Jars!
Recently, I have been looking into pantry stocking. With all the talk about how the economy is going to get worse, I figured instead of complaining- let’s be proactive! Well, I truly believe that God led me to some pantry stocking resources right when we needed it because after about a month of pantry stocking, my husband had two paychecks which were short and we lived off the pantry stock without crisis for quite some time and still are until his next paycheck. Why the post about pantry stocking for Mason Jar Monday you might ask? Because of this!

Is there any prettier way to stock your pantry than with mason jars? Seriously.
Here are some of my favorite pantry stocking resources. Hopefully, they will bless your life as they have mine thus far.
NOTE: These blogs are from mostly Mormon religious background and do not reflect the faith of this blogger but are wonderful pantry stocking resources.

I love the “NOTE” at the end! Do you know why Mormons are so big on pantry stocking? It’s because they believe that when the world ends there is going to armageddon for 3 months, in which societies will crumble and resources will be pilfered. Hence, the need for a pantry stock (they usually account for 3 months worth of food). Very interesting… Jason told me about that because his Grandmother was Mormon and did just that!

That IS interesting! I wondered since a lot of the links to different church websites mentioned that it is required that they have at least so many months of storage and preferably more to help their neighbors. Very interesting indeed!
My husband built custom drawers underneath our basement stairs for my mason jars. I love them! Isn’t canning wonderful when you are trying to stretch out a paycheck and the grocery budget!
