Three Month Food Supply

Step 1: Choose Nine Meals Step 2: Collect Recipes Step 3: Make a Grocery List for Each Meal (Times 10) Step 4: Make a Master Grocery List Step 5: Go and Do President Gordon B. HinckleyThe best place to have some food set aside is within our homes. We can begin ever so modestly. We can begin with a one weeks food supply and gradually build it to a month, and then to three months. I fear that so many feel that a long-term food supply is so far beyond their reach that they make no effort at all. Begin in a small way, and gradually build toward a reasonable objective.

Note: Freeze dried or dehydrated veggies can be substituted for fresh; canned meats can be substituted for cooked meats; milk and eggs can be substituted with powdered; see notes on storing cheese.
