Food Storage Tuesday

Every Tuesday, we post specific items you should gather in order to supplement your emergency car kit, your three-month supply, and your longer term storage.  If you are new to our blog, don't worry!  You won't be left behind.  Just start up where we are and follow along.  You will eventually have everything completed.  Once the car kit is complete, we'll be putting together 72-hour kits again (week by week).  Once those are done, we'll gather the car kits again.  So don't worry, just jump on in and join us where we are today!  


This week for your car kits, add hand sanitizer, a pen & some paper, and pocket knife, and $5-20 in change and small bills.  Sounds like a lot, but it's just a handful of small things that you probably already have around the house already.  After you have added these to your kits, you are DONE!  If you have been following along each week, you should have a completed emergency car kit!  


How's your three-month supply coming along?  Having trouble with rotating all that food?  Check out our 5 food storage rotation methods.


How's your longer-term storage going?  We're finishing up gathering "other" items this month. In June, we'll be focusing on wheat.

This week for your car kit, add some jumper cables.  Hopefully you have some in your car already, but if you don't, this would be a great week to get them!  Also add some hand sanitizer.


How's your three-month supply going?  Remember to make a food storage plan, make up your shopping list, and go from there!  We have a lot of great food storage recipes to choose from when it comes to making your menu plan.


This month for our longer-term storage, we're still gathering "other" items.  Flour, sugar, yeast, salt, cocoa, etc... things that will make the basics (wheat, oats, rice, and beans) a bit more interesting!
