I've been working pretty diligently to work our food storage to a recommended 3 months' supply of foods we eat everyday. I was feeling pretty darn good about it!
Yeah, yeah... we shop at Wal-Mart... judge us.
The above is actually a little under-the-stairs storage area that desperately needs some shelving. In the meantime, it's kindof a mess, but I know where everything is.
And this is about 10 pounds of rice, 50 pounds of flour and 20 pounds of sugar.
It seems like a lot of food. So, we took it for a test drive. It's only maybe 6 weeks worth of food. Time to go shopping.

i dont know much about what this three months supply is about. Why do you do it?
Where did you get the storage containers with the yellow lids? Does it make them 100% sealed? They're cool!
Looking good! And a very good idea to take it for a test drive. What about bread, milk and eggs?
melinda... i have none of those things... besides the means to MAKE the bread. I need to get some powdered eggs and milk from the cannery... we would also like to purchase a chest freezer in the next six months to store extras of the types of things that can be frozen.
Dad says don't buy a chest freezer- buy an upright. Things get lost at the bottom of chest freezers.
i just got some buckets from the bakery. Now I just need to clean them out and get some good lids
