Food storage for $7.00 a week

Last night for Family Home Evening, my husband and I gave a lesson on food storage. I talked about budgeting food storage into you weekly grocery bill. Here is a list that is a really useful guideline. If you want more (and much better info) go to www.providentliving.org

Food Storage for $7.00 a Week

(The original copy of this says $5.00 a week, but most of these items can not be bought with $5.00)

YOU WILL END UP WITH:

500 lbs of wheat 15 can of cream of chicken soup

180 lbs of sugar 24 cans of tuna

40 lbs of powdered milk 21 boxes of macaroni & cheese

12 lbs of honey 500 aspirin

5 lbs of peanut butter 1000 multi-vitamins

45 cans of tomato soup 6 lbs of shortening

15 cans of cream of mushroom soup 12 lbs macaroni

12 lbs salt 6 lbs yeast

This should be enough to sustain two people for one year. For every two people in you family, add $5.00 and double or triple the amount of the item you are buying that week. This is just a guide – if you do not use some of these items replace them with items you would use.
