It's a miracle
I'm back! Well, sort of. I'm in denial that I have finals in two weeks. My brain has already shifted gears and I'm thinking and planning and dreaming of summer already. I'm not sure where I'm going to start. I haven't thought of food storage much in the last year or so. My stores are pretty depleted. With the recent developments in Mexico and other places I want to maximize my summer to prepare my family. Any suggestions on how to begin again? Where you do start when you've kinda already started. For a three month supply (which I've never really had) what do you buy? What do you store? I have water and I have the basics, grains, oats, etc. But I'm limited on space. Do you store canned goods? Help me decide where to concentrate my efforts and get back in the game.

I just copied the ward bulletin for May. Our food storage specialist, or whatever her title is, has hints for each week. I think she copied them from a book. One of the ideas is Buy the largest amount you can sensibly afford, don't go into debt, but progress a little bit at a time.
I plan on getting one canned veggie and fruit per day for three months. I just make a list of all the things that we go through every month; peanut butter and jelly, crackers, etc., along with baking items; oil, shortening, seasoning, etc. And then I buy as many as I can each month, marking the date on them. I then tend to plan our meals around these foods so that I am always rotating.
Also another important thing is to think in meals. If your family likes tuna sandwiches, make sure to have the mayo along with the tuna (a mistake I almost made!)
Good luck!
