2011 Food Storage Challenge Complete List

Just a summary of the 2011 Food Storage Challenge I did.

The idea is that you keep a jar called a 'kitty' to put aside the $10 or $20 each week for your food storage.  If you find some specials and you have a little extra money left over in your kitty, purchase those.  There are two weeks set aside to replenish your kitty when we have more expensive items coming up to purchase - like vitamins.

If you don't like the food listed in this challenge, substitute.  Store what you would use, and what your family would eat.  It is no good, for example, to store wheat if you have no way of grinding or using it. 

The $10 plan should provide a couple with a 3 months supply of food.  The $20 plan should provide a family of 4 a 3 months supply of food.
