FOOD STORAGE GALLORE
Has anyone else been feeling like food storage is the topic on the street? Maybe its because enrichment this month was about food storage and getting your 600 lbs of wheat. or it could be the super cool case lot sale that Macey's is having. At this point it seems like wheat is pointless to me because i don't even have a wheat grinder and i don't know how to make homemade bread. HMMM??? why get it? So, instead of wasting my money on wheat i went to the case lot sale (which really is a good bargain, even compared to Costco). I got a lot of essentials like mayonnaise, brownies, cakes, ketchup...the goods. Okay, i really got other stuff too like canned tomatoes, chili, noodles, sugar, flour, etc. My mom and i went and we filled up 4, yes 4 shopping carts of food! we looked so ridiculous, but we didn't really care. (we didn't have all the carts at once, we made 2 trips back to back). My moms jimmy was packed to the brim!!! i really don't know how we got it all in there. anyways, now we have some food storage and won't go starving for a while! i know i don't have anywhere near the 1 year supply we are asked to get, but come on, my externship isn't exactly paying me right now, so we really can't afford to get too much right now. I just have a nice mom who is willing to split the food and cost with me!

Oh, food storage. Don't get me started. Remember organizing your mom's food storage room? She had stuff in there from 1979!!! And dried raisins? What are dried raisins? Aren't raisins already dried grapes?
Luckily the rats have eaten all of Grandma's food storage. We were always afraid that some disaster would happen and we would actually have to eat the "whole chicken in a can" and sea-tack left over from World War One!
Actually, I love food storage. You're very smart -- buy what you eat. I do have a wheat grinder and I do know how to make bread, but I'd much rather have a can of corn and a box of brownie mix.
Oh, did you know you can sprout wheat and use it in salads?
Since you're Becks, does your husband go by Posh?
Way to go your Mom!
I just inherited some almost-to-expire chicken noodle soup from a young couple who wanted to give their excess away now instead of after it had expired.
That was nice because the very next day everyone started getting strep around here.
lois-i don't think jarred would really go for that nickname. but, you can call him that if you would like!
compulsive-working at a doctors office, we like it when people do have strep because then its easy to treat them! pretty sad, but at least it means they know what they have.
I feel the same way!
you are so much better than i am at food storage. James and I are trying the whole "just get a few extra cans of whatever it is you are already buying each week and it will slowly add up" theory. Its kind of working, but only on somethings. For example: we have a lot of soup....but if we have multiple things of cookies or cereal -- somehow we still eat all of those. haha. We're trying, at least that's something.
hey! why you no blog anymore?
Becky, I actually also found your blog from Becca's! I just haven't left you a comment. So here I am. And I'm glad we both have blogs.
i'm glad that I have connected both of you to each other's blogs. However, Ms. Becks, I think you should probably do a new post.
