"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!)" Ratliffs
I loved this idea. I'm totally using it. Thanks for your comment.

Something brilliant I learned at a preparedness party was to purchase the little condiment packets from costco. In the event that the power goes out, you don't have to crack open a new thing of mayo, you can just use the little packets instead. Way to conserve and prevent a lot from going bad.
