We recommend the 3 month supply being built off of foods that YOUR family normally eats. You can use our spreadsheet found on the BabyStep 3 page on our website and come up with your own foods that you need to store. Then start buying $5-10 worth of those foods (especially stuff on sale) and keep track of what you bought in the inventory tracker part of the spreadsheet. Hope that helps!

I am looking for some kind of plan for 5 to 10 dollars a week to build 3 month food supply-do you know where I could find that?

Jodi & Julie ,Love your idea to make these articles in.
I would like to suggest you add to1) water storage, 2) 3-month supply,3) Long term food storage:
72 hr emergency supply, I know in the drill this month that was a big deal – I think it should be listed.
Another area that may or maynot be important to your blog is with the new 3 month emphases somewhere I got the idea of 2 week supplies aka 2 weeks of can food that is ready to eat out of can or maybe only with heating would be ready to eat. I think they are saying 2-weeks of water storage and then items to purity water for a long time. Anyway the two weeks ready made food, is a big deal for me since I live where we have an extremely low probability of having a major earthquake, but if it happens, it would make Katrina look like a cake walk. It could effect utilities for most of the eastern US . (If you haven’t guess, I live around the New madrid fault area, where earthquakes can carry destruction much further then other places in the country- In 1812 it ran bells in boston thousand miles away, and will most likely have a most usual 1, 2, 3 punch) With all it could do I feel there is a good change where I live in the country, help may not come for a long time. And members of my family may have wounds, busies, or be too hurt or too busy helping others to cook from the 3 month or long term storage if it survives (I have heard , in past , that usually 50% of food storage does survive). Ready made food maybe very helpful.

Anyway- Long-storage strategies are very different from 3 month short term strategies. But so are 72 strategies very different from 3-month or long term. And 2 week water (and maybe food) strategies are different then long-term water strategies---- well you get the picture.I think 72hr, two week, 3-month, long term should all be covered.

For the longest time I only had the regular food, but I'm slowly realizing why long term stuff is important too. Now it's just figuring how to store that stuff too.

You know, when I started my food storage journey about a year ago, I was constantly looking for the answer to this question. In reading the response, I realized I have learned the answer along the way. Thanks for showing me how far I have come, and GREAT idea for this series!
