Last week, I began a series focusing on National Preparedness Month and “stocking up” on food for as little as $5 a week. Let’s take a look at the second half of the list:
Week 27: 10 lbs. powdered milk
Week 28: 20 lbs. sugar
Week 29: 5 lbs. peanut butter
Week 30: 50 lbs. wheat
Week 31: 7 boxes macaroni & cheese
Week 32: 10 lbs. powdered milk
Week 33: 1 bottle 500 aspirin
Week 34: 5 cans cream of chicken soup
Week 35: 50 lbs. wheat
Week 36: 7 boxes macaroni & cheese
Week 37: 6 lbs. salt
Week 38: 20 lbs. sugarWeek 39: 8 cans tomato soup
Week 40: 50 lbs. wheat
Week 41: 5 cans cream of chicken soup
Week 42: 20 lbs. sugar
Week 43: 1 bottle 500 multi-vitamins
Week 44: 8 cans tuna
Week 45: 50 lbs. wheat
Week 46: 6 lbs. macaroni
Week 47: 20 lbs. sugar
Week 48: 5 cans cream of mushroom soup
Week 49: 5 lbs. honey
Week 50: 20 lbs. sugar
Week 51: 8 cans tomato soup
Week 52: 50 lbs. wheat
If you are concerned about paying for the extra food each week, save your leftover change. Instead of spending it, put it aside to be used for this purpose. Also be sure to look out for sales. This way you can jump ahead and cross items off the list where there are great bargains.
