What's in your food storage?
Trying to get an idea of what items I might want to get to fill out my food storage.
 List what you have in yours (just a list of items, don't worry about listing how *much* of that item you have)Thanks. And here's what I have so far: Wheat Beans (both dry-pack, and canned in liquid) dehydrated onions quick oats rice pasta pasta sauce baked beans canned corn canned green beans canned peas apple sauce fruit cocktail canned tomatoes water chocolate drink mix powdered milk refried beans (both dry-pack and regular canned) canned tuna canned chicken breast chicken broth dehydrated garlic dehydrated apples spices cooking oil mac and cheese (the just-add-water kind) Wow, I didn't realize I had so much already!

Well,
My list is pretty close to yours. Lately I have been working to finish my years supply. My focus right now is water, meat, wheat, rice, and beans. I just ordered some wheat from LDS.org and it is on back order. We made sure we have soap, laundry/dish soap, and paper products and first aid stuff. I need to stock up on meds for the kids. I also need to think about candles and fuel. I've got my 72 hour kits almost done. I have two items to add (little juices and trail mix). And I have little kits in both of my cars. And then it is all about making sure the savings account has enough in it. Our stake gave us until the end of the year to have our storage and finances in order -- so we working to make that goal. I want to get those mylar bags and the sealer (lds.org). Then I can save sugar and rice I just got on special. Has anyone worked with the mylar bags? Do they last as long as a can? Someone just told me that they didn't but that didn't seem right to me. Last edited by Misshalfway; 05-05-2008 at 10:21 AM.

That's an awesome list, Jenamarie. I have an assortment of canned goods, pastas, sauces, etc and I even have containers of whey protein to mix with water. Since meats and other sources of protein in ample quantities can perish rather quickly without the expense of large freezers, whey protein is a good alternative for our protein needs. At least for me, anyway.
I learned that it's important to store what you will end up eating. Some folks will store containers of wheat but never use it. Others will store canned veggies but hate veggies, etc. It's important to make room for the things that we and our families will actually use. I also recommend good vitamins. Many have a shelf life of a couple years. Those are good to rotate through as well.

In The Freezer:
Non-Food Items:
We have approximately 3 months worth of food right now. More if we don't eat a meat at every meal. The ones who will suffer are the cats. I do need to stock up on their food. They only eat dry, so that is easier and cheaper for us to keep extra for them. I also need a better storage container for their 20 lbs bag of dry food than what I am now using. The lid is a flip lid and not secure.
