The time honored boy scout motto is "Be Prepared." The time is now to prepare for an emergency in life. By having a basic supply of food, water and a 72 hour emergency kit you will give your family peace of mind in a disaster, job loss or unforeseen catastrophe. A little planning now goes a long way. After all, it wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.
All is safely gathered in

Food Storage and Emergency Items to Shop for in February

Here are some suggested items to stock up on this month for your Monthly Food Storage Goals. Set a monthly food storage budget, and then write down items you think your family would eat or use. You may not need something like molasses, so don't purchase it. I have studied grocery sales for the past year and a half and you may find some of the items below on sale in February, or may find coupons to purchase them. To see the entire Food Storage & Disaster Preparedness Calendar with suggested items to focus on purchasing each month, look at the side bar for the PDF file.
