My parents bought a house from a woman that survived the Depression and they found decades worth of stored food under the house. Grains, sugar, fruit preserves - pretty much anything that could be saved was. They bought the house a decade ago and still haven’t gone through everything. I feel it’s a rather common response from the trauma of the Great Depression.
