My parents, in their 80's, would buy cases of canned goods at a time, and fill up the pantry.
They bought 1/2 a cow and 1/2 a pig every fall from the local farmer.
Potato eyes and garlic that started to grow would be saved and planted in the spring.

Count me in as another"Older than Dirt" It was a great reminder and I find myself reminiscing from time to time about the simplicity of the "good old days" I think we need to bring portions of that life back. RE; All eating at the table together and to ask to be excused. We had one of the RC bottles with the stopper. Used it every week on Monday afternoon when the clothes came off the line so they would be dampened for ironing on Tuesday. I haven't ironed for a long time!
