It's funny when we start to go through our food storage that we find food that is waaaay to old. Rotate through the old stuff.

I have written a food storage book: "Mother Hubbard:What She's Doing Now..a simple approach to food storage in the 21st century" It is a different,affordable approach that makes sense. You won't be storing food you will never eat. It is based on the counsel to store a 3 month supply of what we eat first and then build from there. But how do you know how much of each item? What about non food items? Check out the "Where to Begin Food Storage" on my blog. It's all free info. With the crummy economy we all need to be helping each other become self reliant. Thanks for helping me get the word out. I have just discovered your blog and wanted to share my blog with you.

Then, always bring it with you to the grocery store and buy whatever's on sale. Also, it's helpful to plan recipes that use only non-perishables, because if you lose electricity in an emergency, most (if not all) of your freezer food will be ruined (if you don't have a backup power source). For non-perishable recipes, check out our blog! All our recipes use pantry (nonperishable) foods only. We also just did a tutorial on how to make an oven with a cardboard box. Good luck with your food storage!
