Food Storage

So, I have a goal to have a years supply of food storage including canned goods and all the things I use on a daily basis. In the year since we moved into our house, I have gathered about a six month supply. I think that is pretty good. I am giving myself another year to finish it off. Below is a canned food rack that Ryan and I made (with a little help). We made these last year and gave one to Ryan's dad, and 3 sisters for Christmas. They are on casters so they can be pulled away from the wall to be loaded. It really helps to rotate the cans.
These are my buckets filled with my bulk items like flour, sugar, etc.
My goal is to have these shelved packed with food. Just last week I went to Albertsons and bought 20 boxes of cereal! They were only $1 on sale. I would have bought 100 boxes if I had $100 to spend on cereal. Really though 20 boxes will only last me a little more than a month.

I think it is really fun to find bargins and buy a lot! I'm sure Ryan thinks it is fun also :)

I wanted to leave it at that but I have to say that is pretty impressive! I am proud of you. I plan to come to your house if my grandma's is full!

WOW! That is my dream. I keep thinking that something is going to happen and we will be left with one bottle of water and our 42 hour kit. I have got to step it up. Thank you for your example. it was inspiring.
