About ten years ago, after getting married, I started digging into how to start a food storage. Along with learning how to be a wife, I quickly learned my husband and I didn’t eat similar growing up. (Lets just said casseroles were never in the menu… but that was what I lived on growing up).
I quickly became frustrated with all the food storage plans telling me to buy hundreds of pounds of rice, beans, wheat, oats, sugar. And after being given a ton of food storage and didn’t use it for a year, I realized I needed to figure out a plan.
After about a year of work and research, I finally figured out a food storage system which worked for us. It allowed us to store food WE liked to eat (yay for no rice and beans!). It wasn’t perfect, and we continue to adjust it to fit our growing family and our needs.
