3 Month Food Storage Made Easy

There are many ways you could begin to figure out how to store a 3 month supply of the foods your family regularly eats, but it can seem overwhelming to begin. Take a look at these key points and give them a try. I have personally used this method and it was very helpful in getting my mind around this part of the food storage journey...
Key Points:
Make a list of foods you eat on a regular basis, and determine how much you would go through in three months.
Gradually purchase these foods in bulk as they go on sale (see below for more details and use "Your Budget Buddies" for watching for the sales).
Use and rotate these foods in all your daily cooking.
Constantly replenish the stocks of these foods as they go on sale again.
Don’t forget to include non-food items in this step as well. Get a 3 month supply of NECESSITIES such as diapers, medications, toilet paper, toiletries, etc. Remember, only the essentials for now.
Benefits include: saving money by buying foods on sale and having foods you normally eat in times of economic or any other type of hardship.
