This monthly checklist isn't intended to overwhelm, but make your preparations easier and better organized.

_Please consider reviewing the list with your husband (if you're married) and develop a plan in the event of an emergency.  It should be easy to follow and allows you to make a budget and divide up your resource into different categories. 

You can bring your list & some cash, then spend a couple hours shopping a little bit at a time.

I recently found good prices for 25lb bags of grains and other products at our local store.  I also priced some bulk stored items in #10 cans ranging from $8-$25....If you just buy a few items at a time, rather than try to get it all at once, it shouldn't be such a shock to your system :)

Be careful with the cans, especially acid foods like tomatoes. I recently read that the lining in cans contains BPA and high acids foods can really cause the BPA to be absorbed into the food. A lot of other countries have already made it illegal to use BPA in cans, but, not the USA.

Great List I love lists and I appreciate you doing the work to help us mamas out. FYI you can get a lot of the toiletries and non- food items easily for free or cheap with couponing....heheeee

Also, instead of canned just an option, I suggest dry beans and seeds and sprout them. Very simple, cheap, highly nutrious, and from there you can dry and grind them to make protein pwder as we aare doing for smoothies. You can also use them for flour. It will keep. Just label and date. I learned from a flour grinder farmer person to keep flour in the freezer.

one luv
