About Us

You don't need a bunker. You just start with a shelf.

Our mission is simple: help you create a home that feels

nourished, organized, and resilient —

one shelf, one meal, and one smart swap at a time.

Preparedness for Real Families, Right Where You Are

Who We Are

We’re Monty and Debbie, a Central Texas husband-and-wife team who’ve spent years turning simple food storage into everyday security. We blend preparedness, Trim Healthy Mama cooking, freeze-dried foods, and cleaner everyday products into a lifestyle anyone can follow.

We started Pantry Today because families deserve honest guidance, healthier options, and everyday preparedness that actually fits real life.

Want help getting started?

What We Believe

Nutrition should feel simple, not stressful.
Cleaner swaps should feel smart, not expensive.

Everything we teach comes from lived experience and the desire to help families thrive with confidence—not clutter, fear, or confusion.

Preparedness should feel empowering, not overwhelming.

Why Pantry Today Exists

Because preparedness starts with purpose, not panic.
Because healthier homes start with simple choices.
Because every family deserves tools and knowledge that bring peace of mind—not pressure.

Our goal is always clarity, confidence, and support. Nothing complicated. Nothing fear-based. Just practical steps and smart solutions.

What You'll Find at Pantry Today

We break readiness into small, doable steps. Water, warmth, meals, tools—your essentials come first. From there, you build outward with confidence.
