When transport and the supply chain shuts down, there are only 72 hours of the necessities in each grocery store.
You don’t have to be Mormon to take advantage of the Cannery. You just have to can for everyone the day that you go, as well as for yourself.
It is a good deal. 5 Years ago, we used the new mylar to put up a year’s supply of food. We are now using it because one member of our household was laid off. Not only is it saving us money at the grocery store, we paid alot less for it back then.
Putting you money into food storage is the same as putting it into stocks. The only difference is that the prices of food usually only go up.
We also made sure that we could independently live without utilities. We have enough money in coins to buy in cash food and gas etc for a month. We have enough water stored in our swimming pool to not only be used by us but our friends, family and neighbors. It would take very little to make it potable. We have propane to cook with and wood to heat/cook with and a generator to provide lights and power.
We also have a 48 hour kit in a backpack for each person in the house, in case we have to leave our home.
It is a good idea to leave these in your vehicle - if you have two vehicles used equally then divide them into two.
Food storage is a little bit like home owners insurance. The more food storage you have the less likely you will be to have to use it in emergencies.
Thats under "Normal" conditions. The conditions where everyone goes to the store as usual, and buys what the want or need at the time.
In the event of an emergency, it would be maybe a few hours.
Yeah, the grocery store. They haven't seen my basement. Seventy-two weeks would be more like it.
Agree.....and if the people panic buy there is only 18 hours worth......
