That’s about enough food for two people on a 2,000 calorie diet for 312 days
I got this from a survival site called Tactical Intelligence.net
If you are really tight on funds, but just want to have something on hand begin with a little extra of what you normally buy until you have about 90 days (3 month) set aside. Then add the grains, beans, rice, potato flakes, etc. (more survival type foods that are high in nutrients, but not convenient). LEarn how to sprout wheat and beans to get more of the nutrition and a vegetable like addition to your diet. The sprouted wheat adds a safe and effective sugar that is great for boosting your energy.
Make sure you include garden seeds. Look on the other pages of this blog and you'll find natural fertilizers that you may be able to store. Grow a garden every year, even a small one will get you into the practice. Gardening doesn't always work out easily, you have to practice to get a good garden, at least I sure do. The foods you grow each year will add to your families abundance and the work will give you necessary experience. Can you imagine how valuable the ability to grow food is in a crisis? Can you imagine how great it will be for you, your family and your neighbors if you have this skill if/when the time comes?
Another way is to use a company like Thrive Life and use their "Q" option. You pick the foods you'd like to have in storage, enter an amount you'd like to spend per month and the send it to you each month.
You can also set a budget for food storage and sign up to get the catalog and e-mail from Emergency Essentials each month. Sometime the very thing you are looking for will be on sale. Anyway, you just order according to your needs and your budget each month, even one can at a time is better than nothing at all.
I highly recommend adding freeze-dried fruits and vegetables as well as garden seeds and gardening tools to your storage. At LEAST sprout wheat and beans to get those extra nutrients that you're missing into your diet.
