Humorous Delivery

[josh120775]

Sam's Club has these Augasun Farms 1 year supply packages. I decided to pick one up to add some variety to the supply stash.

The big truck pulls down my street, and my wife meets the guy at the door. He says he had to double check that it was really a residential delivery, that he's never delivered this kind of load to a residence.

And, it was even that big. Maybe 20 or 25 cases of #10 cans on a pallet.

She quickly ushered the delivery into the garage to keep prying eyes away.

I find it hard to believe that they've never delivered that to a residence. Isn't that the point? To have something around just in case?

Now for some 55 gallon drums of water.

Just curious Josh, what are you going to tell the curtain peekers that watched the delivery?
Also there is a product you can use for LONGER term water storage...forgive me, I dont have the product's name. I suppose you can Google it.
Good luck

Tell them they're boxes of tiles for the floor. And yeah that doesn't sound like too much or too big to me either

Moments like that, it pays to be associated with some form of organization like a church or boy scouts. "it's food for their camp" or something like that deflects all interest ...lest you ask them to volunteer. Scouting involvement also justifies (like you need justification) all manner of survivalist activities ... going door to door selling tickets to church suppers will quickly make you transparent ... but never threatening.

I have made several purchases of about 50 pounds of oats, a couple cases of peanut butter and jelly and other such items at one time at Walmart, and since I typically do most of my big shopping in the middle of the night, on more than one occasion I've had the cashier ask if I had a tax-exempt ID number, thinking I was buying stuff for local food banks or soup kitchens. I just cracked a smile and said that I'm going to have a lot of people over for breakfast and lunch!

Another time I was going through the checkout at Walmart with about five cases of mason jars and a guy in line behind me asked me if I was canning. I said no, I was getting the mason jars for a bunch of Masons!
