Good for you. Wish I had such an option. Spoke to lots of people about stocking up and all were men whose wives said the same thing as yours. I told them if you can show your wife that youre saving money (since everything goes up) who cares where you store it.
For example, I've stocked up on toilet paper long ago and during the TP fiasco not only did I not need to buy it but to date I still have not bought any, even gave some to neighbors. So what if I got boxes of TP in the laundry room.
Next suggest to your wife to pressure can beef and chicken.
Damn it we men sometimes just need to put our foot down, and realize it is our job to protect our families.
Its really nice to have a cooperative spousal unit. Makes things easier, but reaping the bitter harvest of conjugal infelicity is no excuse for a man failing to protect his family.
Note: The phrase "Reaped the bitter harvest of conjugal infelicity" was first made in reference to the relationship between Abe and Mary Todd Lincoln by Lincoln biographer William Herndon.
I came be the phrase in Dale Carnegie's How to win friends and influence people back in 1977.
The great tragedy of Lincoln's life also was his marriage. Not his assassination, mind you, but his marriage. When Booth fired, Lincoln never realized he had been shot; but he reaped almost daily, for twenty-three years, "the bitter harvest of conjugal infelicity." "Conjugal Infelicity?" That's putting in mildly. For almost a quarter of a century, Mrs. Lincoln nagged and harassed the life out of him.
Read the Preface he wrote. He tells off quite smartly the people who might criticize him for having it "looked over" by a friend before publishing.
When the killed a bear, or a deer, he wouldn't hall the carcass back to his house, dress it out and eat it on the spot. After killing a bear, or two, he would take the bears back to camp, dress them out, and salt them down right there before any bacteria had a chance to spoil it, then hall them home where it would last all winter long.
If you look online on how to salt down beef, I think that method of preserving meat is just as good as canning.

Canning is an excellent way to preserve food. When I was a kid I remember lots of people use to practice canning.
I read a couple books on David Crockett a couple of weeks ago. The one I found most interesting was:
NARRATIVE OF THE LIFE OF DAVID CROCKETT, OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE. 1834 Written by David Crockett Himself.
Read the Preface he wrote. He tells off quite smartly the people who might criticize him for having it "looked over" by a friend before publishing.
