I should really be prepping food just in case we have some sort of delivery error up here in the arctic circle that prevents food from being shipped up. The problem is that up here canned food goes from being extremely cheap to extremely expensive. :/

When we go south in the summer we plan on putting in a huge sea lift order in Ontario and shipping up flats of canned and dry goods. It will help us on two front. One, we won't have to pay the expensive costs of the product up here (a single can of coke is $3 and will rise to $5 a can as the year lowers the supplies and it has to be flown in, for example)
