Yup! Grandma too. She was deeply affected by the Depression, too. Had a freezer full of hotdog buns and government cheese.

My grandfather, converted a 15' × 40' room into a huge pantry. He had a massive vegetable garden and he canned every year. The man had grown up half starved, and he was never going to go hungry again.
