food storage for $5 revisited

So I went shopping today for essentials for 2 weeks just in case this swine flu thing gets out of hand. I revisited my $5 a week food storage list and realized it was way off on some things. I know my family will certainly go through more than 5 lbs of peanut butter in a year. I actually have 21 lbs of peanut butter on hand already. I also have 3 growing boys. The list is still a good tool to help you see what things you might need, just adjust the amounts for your family. I have also copied this list into a word document so I can check off what I already have and focus more on the things I still need.

  1. If you have a kroger close they are having a case load sale. Peanut butter is 12 for $12.00 but you must buy the flat or it is !1.50 - Get the kroger card & if you don't want to give real info make up a suitable name. Koolaid is also on sale 10 for 1.00 if you stock that up.

  2. You're a Mormon? Good for you. I like Mormons. I might even have been a Mormon, except I don't believe in God, I have to have coffee and coca cola, and I was already married before I found out that some Mormons can have all the wives they want. Thank God for that. I used to think a bunch of wives would have been good when I was a young guy, but having been married 27 years now, I know better.

  3. Stephanie, I live in a fairly small town and don't have a Krogers. Thanks for the info though, others may be able to use it.
    Hermit, you are a hoot. Even Mormons are only allowed to have one wife. Coca cola is not necessarily forbidden just more or less frowned upon.

We love comments! We are happy to answer questions, join in debate and conversation, or just say hi. All we ask is for respect. Respect us and others. Keep it civil. Obviously we aren't afraid of cussing but we don't like anyone degraded or invalidated.

We also know we make mistakes. Feel free to call us out. You can't improve things that need it if you aren't aware of it.
