Three months food storage - the before and after views from foodstoragemadeeasy.net


Although you may not have enough extra storage space in your home to dedicate an entire closet to a three month food storage supply - it's helpful (thanks to Jodi and Julie at Food Storage Made Easy) to have a visual of how much room three months of food storage looks like. And it's not nearly as challenging as it may sound. The easy-to-assemble cardboard can organizers make it so much easier!

Stockpiling food as a hedge against inflation?

Who doesn't need to supplement their income in an inflation- riddled, down economy? If you've noticed that it takes more money to buy less, you're not alone. A 2008 article in the Wall Street Journal entitled "Load up the Pantry" http://online.wsj.com/article_email/SB120881517227532621-lMyQjAxMDI4MDI4MjgyMTI1Wj.htm discussed the realities of inflation and advised stockpiling food as the best hedge against the shrinking dollar (not to mention a good way to practice that Provident Living concept!).
