Comments on: Starting the New Year – Rounding out Food Storage http://www.utahpreppers.com/2009/01/starting-the-new-year-rounding-out-food-storage/ Preparing Deseret, one blogger at a time Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:12:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Magnus http://www.utahpreppers.com/2009/01/starting-the-new-year-rounding-out-food-storage/#comment-2512 Magnus Sun, 02 Oct 2011 15:04:00 +0000 http://www.utahpreppers.com/?p=880#comment-2512 WoW! You have a lot. A lot of what is the question. If Ranch dressing, Cereal, frozen pizza and cake mix is your idea of survival food then more power to you. I think there should be far more consideration about stockpiling just for the sake of stockpiling. With the food you have a guess you can be fat and happy for a while but you wont survive long on what you have there. There just isn't enough nutritional value in boxed cake mix and stove top stuffing. Learn how to grow your own food and make your own clean water and you'll be better off. WoW! You have a lot.

What you pay for your food is NOT what you will pay a year down the road. Food prices are expected to soar over the next few years. If you can stockpile things you eat normally at a low price you ensure your food bills will stay low. Now you that are complaining, don't do it. You continue to pay full price for all your food. You are at the mercy of the grocery stores and our ever changing market. Good luck. Think of it this way. What you pay for your food is NOT what you will pay a year down the road.

Either way you look like the worse. I understand this website is about preparing... but this is pathetic.

The shelves make for easy dispensing when one is building hampers for clients whose social assistance cheques are not enough to cover their grocery bills. Do you can and preserve fresh fruit and vegetables in season, too? This is a perfect design for our food bank!

What do y'all do about cycling stored survival foods that you really do not use in your non-SHTF life?

Dried beans, grains etc are no problem to cycle-out before their “expiration”, but what do you do about canned/packaged stuff that you don't really like to eat when it isn't absolutely necessary?

Much as I'd like the excuse to see certain family members *cough* I can't swing the time. With my full household, those containers would be a LOT more efficient that the 55 gallon containers! (6 people, 4 dogs, 2 cats and a snake...yeah, ummm...where would I PUT it all?) Connor, would you send the link about the water storage tanks so that I may try to organize one up in WA?
