There are many items
available that come pre-packaged in serving amounts that will meet the needs of
most families. They can be purchased as single items or in multiple units depending upon your budget and your family’s needs. They also have shelf lives that range from 6 months to a year.

Instant mashed potatoes, gravy mixes, cornbread mixes, biscuit
mixes, small packages of rice, beans, dried soups or most any type of pasta can
be easily stored in a bucket to provide a variety of food items that are easily
prepared without a lot of prior preparation. They will also fit into your families current dietary preferences without causing the need for a big change in their diet. Fill a food storage container with a variety of items and mark a use by date on the
outside of the bucket once it’s been filled. Then set it aside till needed or
when it becomes necessary to use it in your food rotation before it reaches its expiration date.

At a later date and when
