Comments on: MESSAGES FROM THE HOOD http://www.idareyoutoeatit.com/2009/05/messages-from-the-hood/ Using your food storage doesn't have to be scary.

Pro. Slowly working on food storage is GREAT, if you have even a tiny bit of extra money for an extra can of soup here and there. But sometime people really really do not have any extra money. In that situation, I suggest just like you, that "by educating themselves about preparedness" or making plans for their family and getting organized is FREE! I also believe that they will be blessed for this effort! Thanks for mentioning the pressure cooking classes. I don't know squat about that but I want to become better educated. I'll check your info and see if I can attend. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS SUGGESTING IN THE FAQ, Prep. Pro.

There are so many incredible resources on the internet where knowledge is free and just requires time and committment. I'm hosting a few free pressure cooking classes around the Utah area that you and your readers are welcome to attend. http://tinyurl.com/lymhye With the regular cooking classes that Macey's offers, these opportunities to learn are everywhere if we but look for them.

Three testimonies are better than one. I think it's helpful for more people to appreciate that food storage is a long-term goal...that more people are, and have been, making sacrifices to reach that goal. I'm glad you shared your experience. Thanks girls. Three testimonies are better than one.

Years ago I could not afford to buy more than just a little here and ther. so it is great to have a big boost in our efforts. But when I married Gery,he already had a year supply of sotrage items and now 26 years later we finished our laundry room wih a lots of storage and I said we will not put anything on the shelf that hasn't been tested. We finished unpacking 30 cases of numbe ten cans. and only had to discard three cans. I tested one can of three items, potatoes, milk, and dried whole egg mix. The three canss we discarded wee bulged. The bulk storage that was 35 years old was a complete loss. We go to Hill airforce base about every three months and refresh our three month supply of canned goods. I was so thrilled to find Liesa's book and learn from her so I knew what to do with my storage. I love the suggestions from people like Jeannetta . Thank you. This is the way we shop.

If I need two cans of pineapple, then I buy four. Not every item gets this treatment every grocery day, but it sure adds up. I also buy one extra thing that nobody needs. Today it was cider vinegar, next time white vinegar, next flour or something. Just so we have positive momentum. This is exactly what I do. If I need two cans of pineapple, then I buy four.

I don't know very many families that could just go out and purchase a year's supply of food. Even if it were possible, I think it's better to buy over time, so everything doesn't expire at once. Thanks ladies! Joyce This is exactly how we have our food storage today.:) One step at a time and before you know it…you have food storage.

I don’t know very many families that could just go out and purchase a year’s supply of food. Even if it were possible, I think it’s better to buy over time, so everything doesn’t expire at once.

Thanks ladies!
