Your Year Supply Suggestions ...

Trying to un-clutter the side of the blog, I am making a posting with all the information regarding the items you should have in your food storage. This is the same as the handout being given out on the first evening of the group. Now, remember that this is meant to be a guide for each family. Your food storage necessities and mine will be different and that is fine. Just don't buy anything you won't eat or use! Certain things should be in your supply, or at least good substitutes should be there instead.


Food Storage Items/Needs Per Adult:
* They say kids should only get a 50% allotment, I personally know of many women who just count each kid as a full person; Since there is such a large shelf life on so many items.
