Every month I was trying to set aside a bit of money sometimes $50 and sometimes more like $200, depending on what I thought we needed to add to our families Emergency Food & Supplies Storage.
So I would have to reevaluate what our family needed every month, and would find those things on sale and save them.
PROBLEMS:
Re-evaluatingevery monthRememberingto set the money aside- Playing catch up when I'd forgotten to neglected for several months.
- BIGGEST problem...When I did find things on sale...
Shelf life is typically 2yrs or less. Buying food my family didn't typically eatbecause the food we eat dosn't store for long periods of time! ("foodsaving" a few bannanas and check back in 2 years... LOL)
HOW DID THE Q ANSWER ALL THESE PROBLEMS?
- I was able to set a budget and count on that every month!!
- I had a saved food plan and didn't have to double check every month. And this food plan was LEGIT!
- Since it was automatic and at a set budget...I never have to play catch up (which isn't fun for play month in a budget)
- Hooray the food I was buying was going to last 25 years!!
- With NO PRESERVATIVES
- NO SUGAR
- NO SALT!!!
- With the same (sometimes better) nutritional value than what I would get fresh at the store!
- I wasn't relying on canned corn and chili in time of emergency!
- Now I was buying the food my family ate like broccoli, strawberries, bananas, peas, white chicken, sausage...
- TADA!!!!!!!!!! It's delivered to your door with excellent shipping prices!! You can't beat that! $7-$15 ships a typical Q!
What I DIDN'T realize...
(When I started I thought I was saving for my family and making an investment...But I was in a for a happy surprise)
(And I'll try no to make this part to long....)
(And I'll try no to make this part to long....)
- I was going to be saving sooooo much time by using these
- I was going to be able to make FAST, HEALTHY and delicious meals my family would LOVE.
- I was going to love these as much or more than the fresh foods...
- I would save money not running to the store for milk which always resulted in 2-4 bag of other "must haves" equaling $30-$60 (The milk is the BEST powdered milk you have HAD!)
- I would always have on hand items that I was always running out of... milk, eggs, apples, onions, peppers, bannanas...
- I would love the EGGS...I was terrified the first time I used powdered eggs...now I can't live without them!!
- I could pull together a delicious meal in 5-10 mins! (and it would smell like I'd just spent an hour chopping fresh foods!)
Thank goodness for these THRIVE foods and Shelf Reliance, they have helped me:
- Be a better mom, with "good for you" snacks
- Be a better cook, with healthy foods on hand for my "go-to's" and "hurry and make something for dinner" meals
- Run a safe household...Knowing that my children and family are prepared is a great feeling!
If you want to start in these babysteps to getting prepared for you home, today, tomorrow & in an emergency, there's no better time than NOW!
