Nah, I want the kind that comes ready to cap, not the kind that makes me explode.
People like Glen Beck tell us to stock up on food for a disaster---Good advice but they never get into how it is done.
When one has the choice between heat and food, here comes the rub. I watch how the Mormons do it, they don't just run out and spend $500.00 dollars for a supply of food for 1 person a year, they start small, each visit to the grocery store they spend an extra $10.00 for 10 pounds of rice or dried beans. If one goes shopping twice a week then one can store 80 pounds of rice, next month 80 pounds of beans, next month cooking oil, next month canned meats and veggies.--total cost for all that is $240.00 and one can feed an army on that. This is just 3 months of buying, the next 2-3 months one can buy freeze dried meats or fruits.
Will you miss that extra $20.00 a week most likely but how much does a carton of cigarettes cost today per week?? I haven't been to a bar in years but how much does it cost for just one beer much less some concoction that one can down the hatch in 3 minutes.?
Priority's first spending $60.00 dollars for a meal and drinks then come home to a place with Catchup and day old milk will not keep you alive in an emergency.
So here you are, no emergency at this time, the shelf life is getting close, so just cook up what is ageing and replace it.
Naturally to replace this food will as prices rise cost a pretty penny but, with eating up all this food you are saving money from not buying much extra food.
