For quite a while now, I have had people tell me they would like to have more specific suggested items to purchase for storage and emergency prep. items, like what to buy each week. And for quite a while I've been fighting it. Since the Church put out the new suggested guidelines for storage, suggesting more along the lines of store what you eat, and eat what you store, than concentrating on poundage of grains, etc., I've really had a hard time with specific weekly suggestions.
However, I've come to realize and understand, that suggestions can be made which are specific, but not too specific, and if your family doesn't eat what is suggested, you can get something else, or save the money for later. So, if you feel as many others do, that this is the year for your family to get as prepared as possible, and to learn to live a more low cost, more simple life style, then you'll want to keep an eye on this blog. You will be getting not only suggestions on purchases for food storage, be it long or short term, but also emergency preparedness items for your home, car and work. You will also be getting, and hopefully contributing to, recipe ideas to help you use some of the longer term items in everyday eating that your family will love. As well as many other things to help keep us all motivated to get as prepared as we can be, for what ever may come up.
Good luck, don't get discouraged, and remember that your input, large or small, is worth something!
