Food Storage

How to 'get' your food storage.
Curious how your preparations compare to others'? Take this 2-minute survey about your preparedness and at the end see the combined results of all contributors.

Long-term Storage

1. Enter your information in the Food Storage Calculator and print it. (You will need to download a copy for yourself first.)
2. Print Cannery price list from providentliving.org. 
3. Go to ksl.com's food storage listings and buy what you can from there.
4. Go to your local stores that may have the best prices and record the prices. For me that is Costco, Winco, and Walmart. At the last store, purchase the food they have the best price on (don't forget to compare cannery price as well from price list). 
5. Go to the cannery and purchase everything there that is the best price (801-785-0997, 940 W Center Lindon, open Tue and Thu from 9am-7pm). They have several items that can be purchased already canned. The rest of the food you buy there, you will can there. Also buy cans/lids/oxypacks etc. and check out a canner for the rest of the bulk food you have or will buy at the other stores and will can at home. You can't bring in your own food into the cannery to can there.
6. Go home and put away your new food. 
7. Go back to the other stores that had better prices and buy the bulk food.
8. Can the food at home and put it away. Make it a family project!
9. Return the canner. Lindon cannery allows you to check out the canner from Tue to Thu or Thu to Tue. Tue and Thu are the only days they are open.

Three-month Supply

Flesh out food storage with 3-month supply. This is the stuff you already buy at the grocery store, chili, canned vegetables, ketchup, soup, baking supplies, etc. 

72-hour Kit
What would you need to have to 'bug out' for three days or more?
