How do I start my food storage?

I am often asked how one should start to do food storage.  Here are some simple no-nonsense ways to get started.

How do I start to build my food storage?

1.     Buy the things you eat, and eat what you buy.

2.    Buy a little extra when it is on sale and use coupons.  Stock up a little at a time, all the time.

3.    Take advantage of case lot sales and stock up.

4.    Grow some of your own foods and put away.

5.    Freeze, can or dehydrate what you can’t eat right away.

6.    Go to the church’s Home Storage Center several times a year and do some dry pack canning.

7.    Store bulk dry goods in buckets.

8.     If you find a new item, buy a small amount and try it out before buying a large amount of it.

9.    Whatever you do…start now if you haven’t already and keep going!
