This is by no means a complete food storage, but it's a good start. Each week, set aside $5 in a jar for every two people you are storing food for (i.e. for a family of six, set aside $15). Purchase the listed items for each week. The list is food for two people, so you'll need to adjust amounts as needed. Any extra money left over put in the kitty for future weeks. Follow the plan faithfully, set the cash aside, and before you know it, you'll have a great food storage plan! There are two rules to remember:<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFCC" FACE="Comic Sans MS" > </FONT>1. DO NOT eat any of the food for your storage, unless it has been properly rotated and replaced.<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFCC" FACE="Comic Sans MS" > </FONT>2.DO NOT steal from the kitty...even if you need a quarter to call home!

Most people use this plan, and combine it with the basic plan. <B>Keep in mind</B>: in a crises, you won't be buying bakery items already made, so the basic plan amounts for grains still apply, even if you don't use that much right now! For this plan, you figure out what your family uses of different non-perishable items, and write down your <A HREF="id12.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Target Sheet"><U><U>target storage amounts</U></U></A> of these items, then shop sales of clearances, or earmark your tax return, or whatever until you reach the goal.
