How to Create a Food Storage Supply for You and your Spouse … For as Little as $5 per Week

I'm sure it is more than $5 a week now, because prices have gone up in the last year. Even if you set it at $10 a week for two people, it is still amazing. Just multiply for the amount of people you have in your family. You may not like some of the soup items, so change those soups to varieties you and your family eat. This is just one of different plans I have seen.
Here's a reprint from Off the Grid News

People who live in America rarely consider the need for building up a food supply to offset a national crisis, such as a devastating war or a natural disaster, simply because food in the United States is so readily available and easy to obtain.

However, if something terrible did happen and supermarkets did not remain open, people who planned ahead – like you, for instance – would have the ability to survive and overcome the food shortage. This is not to suggest that Armageddon lies ahead, but it is always wise to prepare for the unexpected and the unforeseen.

And now … you can do just that.  A recent article appearing in a survivalist magazine provided the blueprint for building a substantial and nourishing food supply over a 52-week period. Importantly, the foods that can sustain you and your spouse can be bought once each week for about $5 (perhaps a bit more if prices in your area have risen).  And keep in as cool a place as possible....


Do the math: the cost for building your emergency food supply is going to be very affordable – just $5 per week (approximately) for 52 weeks … a mere $260. That’s not a lot of money, especially when you consider that you can spread the cost out over a full year. And, while the foods may not seem exotic or overly enticing to you (see the list below), they will sustain you and your spouse. And they are nutritious.


Here is the list of purchases you need to make weekly – for One Full Year

Now, it should be noted that this list was the creation of a writer by the name of “AZ Pepper.” If you look closely at his suggestions, you’ll see – almost immediately – that they make sense. The supplies he suggests are affordable (perhaps no more than $5 for each weekly purchase, maybe a bit more) and they can last a long time. These foods will not spoil quickly.


Here is something else you need to know, courtesy of “AZ Pepper.” There are some weeks in this process of food accumulation and storage when there will be money left over after your purchase (perhaps some loose change). Don’t spend it. Instead, put it aside for use in the weeks when your purchase exceeds $5. This will help you stick to the budget. In fact, there will also be weeks when the items you want to buy are on sale. Take full advantage of these sales to save money and get ahead.


Clearly, if you follow this shopping strategy, you will be able to meet your one year food storage goal while staying right at – or near – your pre-planned budget. This is something you can do, if you remain motivated and focused.


Now … for the really good news …
Here is What you will have Stored … after just 52 Weeks


You’re about to be surprised, maybe even shocked, at what your 52-Week Food Storage Plan has enabled you to purchase and store for emergencies. You will have accumulated all of the following:

  • 500 Pounds of Wheat
  • 100 Pounds of Sugar
  • 40 Pounds of Powdered Milk
  • 12 Pounds of Salt
  • 10 Pounds of Honey
  • 5 Pounds of Peanut Butter
  • 45 Cans of Tomato Soup
  • 15 Cans of Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 24 Cans of Tuna
  • 15 Cans of Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 21 Boxes of Macaroni and Cheese
  • 500 Aspirin
  • 1000 Multi-Vitamins
  • 6 Pounds of Yeast
  • 6 Pounds of Shortening
  • 12 Pounds of Macaroni

Here is the BEST NEWS of all: the nutritional value for all of this food is, believe it or not, a whopping 1,249,329 calories (give or take a few calories).  And, based on a daily diet in which you and your spouse each consume 2000 calories, the food listed above can sustain the two of you for about 312 days. That’s the better part of a full year.


At a cost of just $5 per day – just $260 for a full year – this is a bargain you can’t afford to pass up. In fact, it would still be a bargain if you doubled the cost because even if you were to spend $10 a week … the cost to you would still be a very, very modest $40 a month.


In 21st century America, you simply can’t feed two people for such a small sum of money and remain healthy. Well, now you can. Put this amazing one year food storage plan to the test.
