What does it look like for you and your family?
Some people think it means a whole bunch of 50-lb.
bags of rice and beans and being stuck eating gross food forever.
The truth is that food storage is a little of both.
Well explain more about this in a moment.
Getting Organized
Youll want to have a notebook or binder to keep track of your inventory.
That means (hopefully!)
that youre working from a budget each month.
Look and see if you have any unnecessary purchases.
Even something as small as getting rid of one of your streaming services can make a big difference.
Trust me after a month or two, you wont even miss them.
That can also save you some money.
Whatever you do, find the money in the budget, and then earmark it.
No dipping into your stash of food storage money for incidentals thinking youll make it up later.
That $20 might buy you a whole lot of something, but itll just be that one thing.
If youve never been to one, youll be shocked at how much food you might buy there.
Some even have a frozen section.
What youre looking for, however, arent boxes of processed chicken nuggets or sugar cereals.
So-called extreme couponing can also make a huge difference in your prepping.
This works especially well for toiletries, cleaning supplies and other non-food items.
Conclusion
Hopefully, this can get you started on your journey.
Whatever and however you choose to start is up to you … but do something.
