Water Storage Information

I found this on lds.org. It is a great explanation about how to store water, so take a look at it and in the meantime, I will be looking for great deals on containers...

Great deals, ending on Tuesday 7/29

It's a little last minute, and it's likely no one will benefit, but if you are in need of

Cereal
or
Pasta

there are good deals to be had. Smith's has a 10 for $10 going with cereal (10.5 oz. Strawberry Rice Krispies, 12 oz. Rice Krispies or Crispix, 12.5 oz. Corn Pops, 15.3 oz. Smacks, 16 oz. Frosted Mini Wheats, 18 oz. Choco Nilla Rice Krispies or 20 oz. Raisin Bran or 8.8 oz. Straws). There is a limit of 3.

Albertson's is having buy 2 get 2 free on Barilla pasta, for $1.99 each. Back in the good old days (last year) you could get this pasta routinely for under a dollar. But I haven't been able to find it under $1.50 for quite some time (and I look--Ryan went to Italy on his mission and we eat a lot of pasta).
Happy Stocking!

I'll do powdered milk in October!

I will check on the day the Sandy dry pack is open for October, the current price of milk per gallon can, and can milk that month for anyone interested by pre-order to me.  Laurel Lee :)

10 things

So, we picked 10 things (10 people signed up for the group) to focus on for the next 1o months. If any of these interest you, or if you have an interest in something else that is not on the list, please sign up via the comments section. You can also pick a month to highlight your item. I don't think we necessarily have to have one item per month--we can double up some months and skip other months (like December). The goal is to get everything done in 10 months or less.

First Post

The goal of this group (and blog) is to make collecting our food storage and emergency preparedness items easier for all of us. Hopefully this blog will help us stay connected and cut down on meeting times. Heaven knows we don't need more meetings!
