Is "Food Storage" part of your New Year Resolutions???

Does your food storage look like this?! Possibly.



If not...here are some helpful tools: (all of which I have no association with but just did some "googling" on our behalf!)


http://foodstoragemadeeasy.net/ : you can sign up to receive bi-weekly emails that provide step-by-step checklists.


http://pgward.org/ep/ : this is a site from a Pleasant Grove Stake that has TONS of useful information!! They have a 52 week Food Storage Plan available with recipes and even a calculator (Excel document) that can tell you how much of what you need for your family.


http://www.mormonshare.com/lds-activity/food-storage-in-a-year-plans : here you can find several different approaches to obtaining food storage in one year


http://52weekstopreparedness.blogspot.com/ : this blog includes "extras" to buy each week as well as some spiritual preparation (FHE ideas).


Do you have other Emergency Preparedness goals for 2012? Let me know and I would be happy to help!!
