We all probably own too much stuff.
Just try emptying out a closet or, God forbid, moving.
Youll discover really fast how much stuff you really have.
But is that stuff really important?
If not, what is?
It all comes down to prioritizing.
The bad news, however, is that it might require a bit of a mindset change.
Many people think of five-gallon buckets of things like beans, corn, and hard wheat.
Maybe your idea of food storage is ready-made meals, such as Mountain House or WISE.
Part of getting creative means being open to different ideas aboutwhatyoure storing.
Think about the space you do have, and what might work in that space.
Just because you dont normally prep those items doesnt mean you cant or shouldnt.
And keep in mind that food storage needs an environment thats cool and dry.
Eat What You Prep
Youll see this concept over and over when discussing food prepping.
Your preps should be a natural extension of your current diet.
So why have an assortment of those same buckets in your storage area?
Make a big pan of lasagna and freeze it into portions.
When youre eating and rotating out your preps, two things happen.
Its all the same stuff.
Secondly, youre storing things that youll actually be used to eating.
Making room for that food storage, however, is critical.
Prepping isnt just for some societal disaster.
Start small, prep what you eat, and use the space you have.
After all, you cant eat a T-shirt.
