The $5 Food Storage Plan

The $5.00 a Week Food Storage Plan

Directions: Set aside $5 a week and buy the specific items each week.  You have a kitty set aside that you will put the $5 into, and you can't touch it for any reason, but to buy the food storage items for that week.  You put in whatever remaining change you have back in the kitty.  You will notice that some items are less expensive, and some are more expensive.  In order to pay for the expensive items, you need to keep the leftover money in the kitty. A few weeks you will have "off", to replenish the kitty--these weeks you still set aside the $5, but you don't spend it on anything.  This plan is enough to sustain 2 people for a year.  If you have a larger family, you will have to adjust accordingly.  Your own needs and likes may vary; feel free to adjust as you see necessary.  This by no means is a perfect plan, it is the basics. It is, however, a starting off point.  And the way I see it, at least I am making a sincere effort to follow the prophets council, and that has to count for some blessings!!
