I agree with the comment from m&m above, “I think sometimes people are so overwhelmed with the notion of having basics they rarely use (wheat, beans, powdered milk)…”. With that in mind I would like you to check out a new way of looking at how to build your food storage – tailored to your families way of eating, with or without wheat! Go to http://www.apreparedhome.com and go to the Food Storage Worksheet, under the Calculator section in the upper left box. It is not the same calculator or set of food storage worksheets that you find posted everywhere. Instead, this is a unique one-of-a-kind program where you make a list of recipes your family eats regularly, type in the recipes with the amounts, easily transfer the amounts to a spreadsheet and the spreadsheets will automatically figure out what your family needs for three months, six months or a year – and its FREE! There is also a spreadsheet for you to inventory what you already have and let you know what more you need to get.

It is the best and most comprehensive program that is easy to use and you can throw away all of your disaster/food storage cookbooks because you will have made your own Everyday-No-Matter-What-The-Situation cookbook and stored enough of what you normally eat – and you won’t need to change your eating habits. Give it a try! There is a set of simple instructions for you to print out, and with just a little time invested, you won’t have to guess how much you need, YOU WILL KNOW!

Hey Jordan,

Thanks for giving StockUpFood.com a shout out! I built it for my wife and I since trying to get 1 years supply of food seemed pretty overwhelming. I have noticed a very positive response since I launched it. Feel free to email me any suggestions you might have.

Thanks again!

@ m&m
“Are you just going to focus on the staples, or going to help people sort through their three-month needs (what they actually eat) plus the longer-term needs?”

I’ll be focusing primarily on longer-term storage, but I also have an upcoming post on ideas for acquiring a 3-month supply as cheaply as possible.

Great idea. I’ve been toying with a few gift ideas like ingredients for food storage meals in a jar, or homemade jam with whole wheat bread, etc. But your idea teaches them to fish instead of just giving them some fish.

This is a great idea. I’m passing the idea along.

Are you just going to focus on the staples, or going to help people sort through their three-month needs (what they actually eat) plus the longer-term needs?

For what it’s worth, I’ve shared some of my own three-month supply ideas (shopping and cooking ideas) here. I think sometimes people are so overwhelmed with the notion of having basics they rarely use (wheat, beans, powdered milk) that it’s good to start with the three-month supply and help them see that food storage doesn’t have to equal food that tastes (or that they think tastes) like cardboard. :)

I have recently become very interested in preparing for emergencies, so please continue sharing information on this topic. I am researching the best ways to get started with food storage.
