Food Storage Without Going Nuts
I love to have food in the pantry. Even before I thought of a family and was alone with just a dog, I would plan and pack away food for a rainy day. Not being a mall girl, you could always find me at the local grocery store sale perusing the loss leaders and planning where I could stash another #10 can of sauce.
Now that I have a family, my past experience with putting food by has helped in so many ways. We have experienced some pretty turmultuous times both in the public sense as well as private hardships. No matter what our financial situation is, we have always gone to bed with full tummies-at least the children have.
I am (without spreading any hysteria) feeling the need to do a much larger storage of 6 months to a year supply of food. Since making that decision, I found the wonderful site: www.providentliving.org to be of the most help for me. I am sure most of you know this site or have heard of it but I urge everyone to at least take a peek and think of a plan.
For now, I am working on my 3 month plan. It is a good thing that canning/drying/storage is not new to me as I have spent hours searching and reading on the internet trying to find a good weekly shopping list. It is overwhelming to me and I know what I am looking for!
Have a great night all, send me your links to wonderful food storage sites if you have them!

Searching
When searching the g. search engine, like if I go to g. com. I get a page that says would I like to search the whole web or pages from Australia. Sometimes I find unusual things in the Australia section that are hard to find on the main section.
I do know one site off the top of my head called www.myshoppinglist.com.au

I am feeling overwhelmed with *not* having enough stored. Does this happen to you? I want to try and spend 10-15 dollars every grocery trip towards storage (that is 20-30 a month as we go every other week). I am thinking of asking for a food saver thing for my birthday this summer to help out. I had one in the past and burned it out from using it so often. Are they better quality now? There are two models, the 35 dollar range and the 70 range. Any thoughts other than obviously the more expensive then the more bells and whistles??
