Since this original list was created some time ago so as I mentioned earlier, the numbers are a bit off. However, I can get 50 lbs of red wheat at the Mormon cannery (where I live) for around 12 bucks now so it's not too far off. The "Bishops Storehouses" as they are called have the cheapest prices of anywhere I've seen. Look in your area to see if they're available. Otherwise check out <a href="www.waltonfeed.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Walton Feed</a> who sells them for $41.50 per 50lb bag right now. At that price, if you truly can get the other items for $5 each week that comes to a total cost of $625 which divided by 52 weeks is $12.01 a week. Again, even doubling this amount to $24 a week or $3.42/day should be manageable by most people's standards. Arty,

That's what this site is for (all the other stuff) ;) The point of this article is just to show that getting started with food storage is not at all difficult. I'll be posting more articles in the future about storing, rotating, preparing etc, so stick around. Good comments Mike.

Buckets, mylar bags, heat sealers, etc all add to the cost and need to be considered. Also, there's no mention of rotation. Also also, this list seems to be geared toward people just getting into prepping. So, what the heck do you do with 500lbs of wheat? How do I actually eat this stuff? Good start, but prepping is more than just buying a million calories worth of foodstuffs. This list mentions nothing about how to store all this food.

This provide a good starting point. I also agree that the $5 per week might be a little bit ambitious right now but even if you set asside $10 or $20 it is achievable. Re-posted on prepperbuzz.com seems like your trackback didn't take. Great post, I think one of the hardest or most overwhelming aspects of building food storage is figuring out where to start.
