*A simple, almost painless way to build your food storage is to just buy extra products every time you go to the store. Whenever you buy something, buy two. When something’s on sale, buy the limit. If there is no limit and you can afford it, stock up.

Great advice!  I buy canned black beans by the case at Costco and rotate through them.  Very versatile, no additional water needed, adds extra sodium to the diet etc. 

Don't forget spices!  Survival food can be very bland.  Ground red pepper, dried oregano, whatever.

Same experience here, quietprepr. I cleared some stuff out of the garage a little while ago and found a huge Sterilite container full of packets of pasta - probably at least 50lbs of the stuff. I guess it was put away when I was going through my early prepping "panic" stage (anyone else had one of those?) and I don't even remember doing it. It was already a couple of years past it's expiration date, and I was about to toss the lot when I thought I'd try it. Still in the original packaging it was indistinguishable from new pasta. You'd be surprised how long your preps can last. And I have a lot of rice, beans, flour etc in buckets, sealed in mylar with O2 absorbers that should easily have a shelf life of 10 years or more, especially since they've been kept cool.

Just out of curiosity has anyone been to one of the shelfreliance home parties? I was invited to one last year but was unable to attend, and it just about killed me, lol, I so wanted to go to that, lol. I know they have the shelving systems and sell their own food. I was just wondering how it compared to the other brands of long term storage food? Does anyone know?

I mentioned this on another discussion; go to your local LDS cannery. They welcome anyone (don't have to be LDS) who wants to get prepared. They provide #10 cans and some smaller, lids, O2 absorbers, the food itself, the labels and the cannery equipment. All you need to do is put it all together assembly-line style and take it home. Most of the filled cans cost around $5. A very good price I think. The LDS are very friendly and helpful. Give it a try.

Anyone looking for freeze dried foods or bulk foods should check out Costco.com and search "emergency food". They have a good selection and great prices.]]> Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:07:18 +0000 http://www.avianflutalk.com/welcome-to-food-storage-tips_topic21807_post215600.html#215600 <![CDATA[Food Storage Tips : Welcome To Food Storage Tips]]> http://www.avianflutalk.com/welcome-to-food-storage-tips_topic21807_post215449.html#215449 Author: Penham

I just opened some wide egg noodles I have had since 2008 also. They were in their original bag in one of my water/bug tight containers. They were just great!

I still believe in #10 cans with O2 absober food in my cool basement. It is just cheaper to keep and less hassle with only 2 of us and we don't eat much can food. I only keep cans of tuna and chicken we eat that.

I have to get with my inventory which I still have not done and figure out what I need to get and get rid of. Something to do in October!]]> Sat, 20 Aug 2011 19:10:17 +0000 http://www.avianflutalk.com/welcome-to-food-storage-tips_topic21807_post212974.html#212974 <![CDATA[Food Storage Tips : Welcome To Food Storage Tips]]> http://www.avianflutalk.com/welcome-to-food-storage-tips_topic21807_post212967.html#212967 Author: HoosierMom

Happy to report, spaghetti kept in the cabinet, non sealed tight, no oxygen absorbers, expired 2008, we have eaten it several times and it was fine. So you have to wonder how much longer would it last if it was sealed and O2 absorbers in it...

And dehydrated peas and carrots, dehydrated in 2009, in a  canning jar with a previously  used  lid, no O2 absorber...been eating them all week in dishes, they were yummy. I did make sure they were thoroughly dried. Making a "tink" or click sound when dropped on the counter.
