Several months ago, I began an experiment into long term food storage and thus far the experiment has been a success. This experiment has saved our family money and resulted in no spoiled food. Since beginning this experiment, I have shared this with others and others have begun the process. Several have asked me to share how we make this happen and I would like to take the next several days and share with you how we have learned and benefited form this process.

This experiment began as I saw food prices rise and wanted to find a way to save money. Another aspect to the experiment is to have food stored away  in case of an emergency. Since beginning the experiment, my family and I have approximately three months of food readily available.

Before you begin the long-term food storage process, take a look at a few advantages and disadvantages. The list below is quite small, but definitely worth considering.

The advantages of food storage:

1. Saves Money – Not only does buying in bulk save money, but buying before food prices rise saves money as well.
2. Emergency Preparedness – Having food available in case of an emergency is a valuable resource to taking care of your family.
3. Food is available – The method we use for long term food storage makes the food readily available. We use a rotation method – more to come soon.

The disadvantages of food storage:

1. Expensive to begin – At the beginning of this process, a larger grocery bill due to beginning the process.
2. Space – Depending on what long-term food storage method and how much food you store, space will be priceless. I will share with you some tips to saves space in the midst of the process.
3. Risk of spoiled food – As with storing any food for a long period of time, there is a risk of having the food spoil or having it ruin.

 Over the next few days, I want to share with you the process we use for our method of long-term food storage.  While we do store food for our family, we are also prepared to share our blessings with others.

Stay tuned for more.

Just my thoughts,

Be the good!

Believe while others…
By William Arthur Ward

Believe while others are doubting.

Plan while others are playing.

Study while others are sleeping.

Decide while others are delaying.

Prepare while others are daydreaming.

Begin while others are procrastinating.

Work while others are wishing.

Save while others are wasting.

Listen while others are talking.

Smile while others are frowning.

Commend while others are criticizing.

Persist while others are quitting.

Just a thought to pass along…

All I can express is my thanks and honor for those who have fought and will fight for our country.

Thank you!
