Pretty good. I wish I had that much money to use, but alas, I have to just buy extra each month.

I would want way more sugar/honey/sweeteners - like about 60 lbs per person for 1 year.

More milk - 75 lbs powdered milk per person for 1 year.

I assume the salt is iodized for eating. I would want at least another 30 lbs of plain or kosher for canning and preserving.

I’d just mention that lard or shortening can be stored for long periods with out refrigeration especially if in cans. I much prefer oil, but I just stock what we can use for about a year or 18 months at most on the shelf, since I don’t have the freezer space.

For Grains, Rice, Beans, and flour, the LDS on line store would still be my favorite for these basics. About 30 bucks a case for one person for one month - called a starter kit. It has 6 number 10 cans. Free shipping when you order more than 2 cases.

Every family is different, and food choice is going to vary according to tastes, I think.

Very interesting article. Thanks for the ping.

I have bought quite a bit from walmart.com. They have Augason Farms and Mountain House for the cheapest prices I have found. Many of the things that I have seen mentioned are available there. What I really like is that it is free shipping for over $50.00 and delivered by Fed Ex to my front door.

I have bought from LDS online too. They also have free shipping and their prices are excellent. They have a nifty water bottle/filter for a great price. I think it sells for about $16.00. They don’t charge tax for out of their state.
