I finally started a food storage, which is quite the feat in an apartment. Right now I have 25 lbs. of oats in my bedroom until I can figure out where to put it. I also am just collecting canned, and boxed stuff when it is on sale and putting some of it away. When I finally get around to cleaning out the storage and putting all the stuff in Caleb's closet in storage then I can finally use his closet for food. This will make it so much easier and I won't have to play Tetris with cans and boxes. I am trying to at least get six months worth of food storage so that my family won't starve incase something happens. When I was younger I thought food storage was just grains and beans, I never realized that you could have yummy stuff too.
With the way the economy is right now, you can't be too careful about saving and having an extra supply of food. If something were to happen tomorrow, I wouldn't be able to keep my family alive for very long.
Hopefully I won't ever have to actually use it in my lifetime but I would rather be prepared then not. With all the things that are happening in this world right now no one can afford not to be prepared.

Isn't it great to know that food storage isn't just a bajillion (spell check) dried beans and a ton of wheat. I just buy a bunch of what my family actually eats when it's a price I can't resist (like cheerios for 25cents a box). I finally have plenty of space for it, except for the stuff the kids really like. I have to hide it, and I'm running out of hiding spaces. Always check expiration dates when stocking up.
When c gets older he'll be able to have a midnight snack w/out leaving his room.
