Week 19 (May 6, 2012)

Now we will purchase our first long-term item, GRAIN. Wheat is the most commonly stored grain, and should be the foundation of your food storage. Not only is wheat inexpensive, but very healthy!

Purchase: 100 lbs. of wheat this week. It takes a minimum of 300 lbs. of grain per adult per year. (The cannery is a great resource. This would equal 3 cases of #10 cans.)

Purchase: Something from your 3-month food supply list. Continue to pick up something each shopping trip.
