Food: I buy livestock feed in 50 - 100 lb bags. The grain seed is the same stuff that people eat. I get buckwheat, millet and wheat. You can grind them, or you can sprout them. You can also get other seeds like beans oats and cabbage just for sprouting. Sprouted seeds bought in bulk like this are hard to beat on food value/cost.

Hi. I get used pickle buckets from burger king. They are food grade. They come with lids that seal. And they hold 5 gallons. I have been collecting them for ... oh... the last 10 years or so. Every time I go out, I stop at any BKs I pass and I check to see if they have any buckets.

Thank you for sharing! I store what I will eat. (No canned vegetables and Spam which is pork.) Canned pinto beans and others (low sodium) are good right out of the can. Aunt Penny's at 99 Cents Store and Grocery Outlet I do cook from scratch but will I be able to at that time?Canned salmon (always wild) and sardines instead of tuna (mercury).Two file cabs hold these (garage). Who knows?Ginger root stays fresh inside for months! Agave syrup (low glycemic)very sweet does not sugar like honey will!

@silentsteve63 I'd rather have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

A 50lbs bag of rice is what? $26? So 1.9lb per $1. It might not be the best meal in the world, but it beats going hungry. And the containers should keep the moths, mice, water, and other things out of it. Which the bag it comes in might not. If only to counter inflation, you should stock up IMO. The price of housing might be bouncing on the sidewalk, but the price of gas and food is going through the roof.

@silentsteve63 i feel ya there steve! i have the same prob wit alot of my close friends and some of my family. we cannot force anyone to believe us or accept what is comming. what we can do is keep spreading the info we come across. we also need to use the internet to our advantage and begin networking with those who are preparing and want to try to come out of this alive! the more we have on board, the better off we are! good luck and stay safe! the big one is comming shortly to the USA!!!

You are doing the right things to prepare. The big heavy pails, expensive storage equipment are all great but not everyone can carry them or afford them. You can store a year's worth of food the way you are doing it now. If you store for longer periods than 1 year them ypu might consider the mylar bags and oxygen absorbers. Take care and best wishes to you and your family.

Don't feel bad about shopping at Wal Mart. If this country would make it easier on American businesses they wouldn't have to move their companies overseas.

You gave me a few simple but good ideas such as using those Apple juice bottles to put rice or something similar in.

I hope you eat it soon, simply because the light will keep it from lasting a long time.

stop the worrying do not panic you are doing the right thing by storing some food away the big pails are for people with big families if it isjust a mother and a few kids by herself the big pails may save cash now but when / if something dose happen the pails will be to heavy to carry both by car and or by her self She can carry five of those containers that would be about 10 days of food enough to get to grandma house i wish her and every single mom out there the best

I agree with the main message, get started. Research for yourself and get started. Yes, these containers she promotes are not the best, but she will be better situated than people who have nothing stored.
I actually have used very heavy Mylar bags without buckets. My spaces accommodates them better. Look at your space and research what will work.
Don't acquire fear, acquire gear.
