Despite what you often see on TV and in the movies, stockpiling food is not only for those with conspiracy theories or living through a zombie apocalypse. It is now a part of life for those of us who are “what if” people or those with very strict budgets.
Let’s face it: It’s not easy getting by in today’s economy. If we can save a little money on what we need to live by building a stockpile, then that’s what we should be doing.
This Is The World’s Healthiest Storable Survival Food!
You may or may not be a fan of TLC’s Extreme Couponing, but I like to watch it just to see what those folks have built up. That being said, I do find some of the people featured on the show to be misguided. I was watching an episode not long ago where a woman said she and her family disliked a specific food – even though she had purchased 100 boxes of it. This is one thing I’m going to warn you about. Never put something in your stockpile if you and your family won’t use it. It’s a waste of time and storage space.

what about water?
I bought 100, 2 gal freezer bags on ebay for $16-$17 and put bags of flour, oats, meats, cereal, veggies in a small floor freezer and if the power goes I have solar to keep it going. Sawyer water filters are less than $20 on ebay and screw onto any 16 oz, 20oz, 2 liter bottles and it filters 100,000 gallons of water.
