One thing to remember as you read these lists: Don't try to have it all at once. Keep these items in mind as you shop. If you find a really great deal on something, pick up two (or three) and add them to your supply. By shopping the sales, your monsy will go further, and as you save more money, you'll have more to spend on ...

Food Items</U></B></div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFCC" FACE="Arial" ><B> </B></FONT>Such as spices and seasonings, maybe a few "treat" items your family particularly enjoys. Some must haves are: yeast, baking soda and powder, cornstarch, flavorings, mustard (dry), worchestershire sauce and soy sauce (soy sauce can replace salt). You might also want to store Italian Seasonings (game meats are seasoned well with italian herbs), bullion, dried onions, bay leaves, garlic powder and cinnamon. </div> <div> <B>There's more!</B></div> <div>  Don't forget corn meal, lemon juice, catsup, gelatin (this can substitute for eggs in baking) and nuts. Whatever your family really likes and eats well is something to store (if it's store-able) Be wise in your choices, though. We once watched a family dry pack several bags of Doritos. At 50 cents for each can they used, we figured they had $10 just in cans, and another $30 for the chips. By storing corn meal and spices, for about $5 they could have stored enough stuff to make thier own chips--about three times as many! Yes, those chips were going to be fresh for a year or more (no guarantees about the shape they'll be in), but the money could have been better spent. We recently went to the canned food "outlet" where we found mandarin oranges, 4 cans for $1. I bought 12 cans. I figured with a can of fruit coktail and some of the powdered "dream whip" mix, I could make fruit salad once a month--with mandarin oranges in it! That's a fun treat. </div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="#contents_" TITLE="More Things To Store"><U><B>TOP</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="07831200.gif" border=0 width="305" height="32" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <U> <A NAME="cleaners"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></U><U>Cleaners</U></div> <bR> <div>  <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#800000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" >This would include soap, detergents and such.

Seriously, though, you should store things like shampoo, shavers and shaving cream, first aid supplies, hand lotion toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant and feminine products. Since we buy most of these things in bulk, we usually have a few months supply. Do you wear contact lenses? You'll need to store solutions or be sure you've got a spare pair of glasses. And don't forget Toilet Paper! The book says you'll need 50 rolls per person per year. We store less, and ration it!</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="#contents_" TITLE="More Things To Store"><U><B>TOP</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="07831200.gif" border=0 width="305" height="32" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div>  <A NAME="provisions"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A>Provisions</div> <bR> <div>  <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#800000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" >These are the things you'll be glad you had!</FONT></div> <bR> <div>  <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#800000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" >Extra Clothing, shoes and socks (long underwear?)</FONT> </div> <div> Towels, blankets, sleeping bags and pillows.
