So from my post yesterday I said I was going to Sam’s and start my food storage!
Anthony thinks it is a little crazy, but after this Monday’s family home evening lesson, I hope that he will change his heart… If not, he isn’t stopping me from doing it, it just says that I ‘m a crazy lady…..
So I was able to buy all the food recommended for the 72 hour kit… (That is A LOT of FOOD). Last night I had all the food out on the kitchen table, had the kids each got 2 zip lock bag, and they picked out their stuff: granola bars, what kind of water flavor they wanted etc….,We ended up filling a bin and 6 back packs.. I am going to have to go to Kmart today and buy like 2 huge bins for clothes and blankets, and I have NO idea how we are going to get all this stuff out FAST if we need it… (It is a little crazy)…
So in my 1 year supply, I thought I would have stuff left from my 72 hour kit, but really I only have a thing of laundry soap, vanilla, back up juice, and syrup.. I really thought my closet would be a lot fuller… I can totally see how someone can go into debt trying to buy everything that they need all at once! (I am going to have to go month to month)!
The remainder of the month I need to work on 700 lbs of wheat…. (Where am I going to put it)?
Shampoo, Light bulbs, toothbrushes, tooth paste, shaving supplies, disinfectant, aluminum and back up diapers & wipes….. Oh yes… And we need LOTS of WATER….
My goal is, once I get all of this stuff, I will learn to cook with it, and replenish my supply monthly, so it won’t go to waste! And so we can learn to eat A lot healthier ……
Recipes and ideas would be GREAT!
