My daughter has to be insane!!!

I just answered the front door, there was a 41 lbs box from USPS - it had my daughter's name on it, I realized it was 41 lbs when i tried to lift it. I said, "honey, what did you buy that weighs 41 freakin pounds ?"
SHe then told me that she got a great deal on SALT!!!!!
SALT!!!!!!
40+ lbs (4 galons it says on the container) of SALT! ????
o.O ??
So, like any good mother I said.. WHY????
WHY 41 LBS of SALT ????
*sigh*
She told me "Mom it will be worth its weight in gold soon."
So I crossed my arms and said, would you please explain that to me, cuz right now the packing invoice says it was $35, so thats less than $1/pound -- she said... mom, when the economy collapses and the grid goes down ...
i put up my hand and said --- .... well I wont say it here...
*sigh*
She's been hanging out with this new boyfriend for 2 months, he's nice, but him and his family are always talking about survival stuff and I was like ok, so what part of feeling safe and dealing with your fears of an uncertain future, inspired you to spend $35 on 41 lbs of SALT!!! ???
Then she was like "mom, you don't understand!"
and I was like... "you got that right!"
She's in her room now.
and as many mothers have said throughout time --- YOU WAIT TIL YOUR FATHER GETS HOME!
Anyway, WT? ??????

you dont need that much salt!!! even if everything goes down you are not really adding salt to your food! if your worried about grid down and no food in the stores get some boxes of canned chili from sams club. they come 6 cans to a box and you stack the boxes and date the boxes on the shelf so you know which one to eat first. the boxes are good to keep the mouse in the house off of the cans. 🐀 they have a 2.5 year shelf life. some gallon jugs of water. bottle of vitamin mineral tablets and your all set. chili is a meal in a can. 😺 hide some cash in case the banking system goes down. 💵

@LilTiffy4ever good have canned chili. get it at sams club??? canned food does not need electricity to stay good so is good to have so you have something to eat if the power grid is taken down. boxed food like cerial and granola bars are very good to have on hand too. need lots of shelfs to store it and the jugs of water. does the mouse in the house get into your food there? eat through the candy bar?? bag of chips?? 🐀
