3-Month Food Supply Class from RS Activity

Thank you to everyone who was able to come out for the "How Now, Brown Cow" activity this evening, we had a great time! I presented a brief - very brief :) - lesson on building a 3-month food supply, and as promised here are links for the awesome sites that I referenced.

Food Storage Made Easy - This site has such a simple step-by-step approach to food storage. They have a great page dedicated to creating a 3-month supply, and there you'll find several of the pages that were discussed during the class including:

• 5 questions you should ask yourself about building a 3-month supply
• Printable PDF form to create a supply plan, and instructions
• Even better, an excel worksheet that does the calculations for you, plus instructions

The Food Storage Shopper - Here you'll find a useful page all about shopping for your 3-month supply, containing additional links about maximizing savings with coupons and sales.

Having a short-term supply of food is such an important part of being prepared, as the Lord has instructed. I highly encourage everyone to use these great pages to help you build and maintain your short-term storage. It may seem daunting, but taking it a step at a time and creating a plan that fits your family can turn it into a much simpler and more satisfying project.
