New Year Resolutions

Welcome to 2013!  What are your goals for preparedness?  Now is the perfect time to commit to your family's emergency preparedness plan.  Let's talk about food storage.  ARGHHH.......you say......feels like such a massive undertaking and where am I supposed to start?  These are the questions you ask youself as you contemplate embarking on the food storage journey.  I am here to reassure you that food storage is not the two-headed beast you imagine it to be.  Once we break it down to manageable pieces you will be amazed at the end of the year by just how much food you have accumulated. 

Here is what I want you to do:
The next time you go to the grocery store, take a look at your list and purchase an extra $20 of any non-perishable or canned good item.
That's right!  Only $20 per grocery visit! 
If you have room in your pantry start there and add those extra cans.  If you have a designated space for your food storage such as a closet, shelf or even under the bed, place those extra items there. 

Now, step away and look at it.  Take a deep breath and smile.  YES! You should feel so good that you have taken the first step in your food storage accumulation.  You can do this! 

I promise that with these "baby steps" you can have a  healthy accumulation of food storage by the end of this year. 

Later, we will talk about case-lot items, purchasing in bulk and easy healthy recipes using your storage.

Remember with any New Year Resolutions the key is to take it one step at a time!
