I did a search this morning of "home food storage ideas" on google blog search.
Check out the blogs, they each have many links to other great blogs, websites, and files. Here are my Favorites:
University of Utah Extension These are PDF files with info on storing, how much, when, where, why, and it is all research based. This is the MOTHER LOAD.
Food Storage Calculator Next best find this morning. As our family grows, this will be invaluable.
The Pantry Panel
The Prudent Homemaker This blogger is quite "elevated" when it comes to food storage. I'm just thankful that I don't have to be so creative with my $$. But this blog helps me see how I could be if I had to.
iPrepared Blog with tutorials on getting yourself together
Safely Gathered In
National Center for Home Food Preservation
Provident Living (of course)
Okay, now for my commentary. I'm no Granola! I'm a consumer. Just last night the mall ate my spending money! But since I became pregnant, my husband and I have felt the strongest pull to making our family more "poof." I've talked about it before.....Finances, Physical Health, Food Storage, Emergency Preparedness, Spiritual Reserve.
I have a wonderful grocery store locally, with great prices and I bag my own groceries. I used to (earlier this year) be able to get out of the store weekly (with a loosely made meal plan) for $70 -$80 for the 3 of us. Now, I can't get out for less than $90-$100. I know.....I need to start being more strict about what I put in my cart, having a more firm meal plan, etc. But the increase in price has made me realize what a blessing being able to cook out of my own pantry is. I feel so great when I bust out something I've grown, or something I've preserved, or something locally grown. It tastes better.
I could go on....instead....look at the links.....and see what your family can do.
Greener, Cheaper, Safer, Self Reliant.
