How to get Started with your Food Supply.

Building up your emergency food storage can be an overwhelming task. Start with baby steps. Let's start with a 3-month supply. 

“Build a small supply of food that is part of your normal, daily diet. One way to do this is to purchase a few extra items each week to build a one-week supply of food. Then you can gradually increase your supply until it is sufficient for three months. These items should be rotated regularly to avoid spoilage.” All is Safely Gathered In – Family Home Storage”

How do I start? We have a tendency to eat the same thing over a couple of weeks. Fill in the chart below. Now you know what your family eats in two weeks. Multiply that by 6 and you have your 3-month food supply. Work on it! You can do it!

WEEK 1	SUN	MON	TUE	WED	THURS	FRI	SAT
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Snacks
WEEK 2	SUN	MON	TUE	WED	THUR	FRI	SAT
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Snacks

Then replace what you use. But ALWAYS 3-months of food on hand.

Why get just a 3-month food supply? Here are just a few things I thought about.

Out of work? Lose a job? At least you can eat.

Flu or other kind of epidemic? Best way to avoid contact with others is stay indoors. Health authorities suggest three months for an epidemic is pass through its stages (don’t ask me what those stages are!). Be safe – stay indoors with your 3-month supply.

Hmmm, better add games to that list!

This may seem simple - but it is soooo important - But DO IT NOW!!!
