Food Storage

I had a freind give me a plan for compliling Food Storage for a year on 5 dollars a week:

Here is the list if you are interested

Week 1: 6lbs of salt

Week 2: 5 cans of cream of chicken soup

Week 3: 20 lbs of sugar

Week 4: 8 cans of tomato soup

Week 5: 50 lbs of wheat

Week 6: 6lbs of macaroni

Week 7: 20lbs of sugar

Week 8: 8 cans of tuna

Week 9: 9lbs of yeast

Week 10: 50lbs wheat

Week 11: 20lbs sugar

Week 12: 8 Cans tomato soup

Week 13: 10 lbs powdered milk

Week 14: 7 boxes Macaroni and cheese

Week 15: 50lbs wheat

Week 16: 5 cans cream of chicken soup

Week 17: 1 bottle 500 multi-vitamins

Week 18: 10 lbs powdered milk

Week 19: 8cans cream of mushroom soup

Week 20: 50 lbs of wheat

Week 21: 8 cans tomato soup

Week 22: 20 lbs sugar

Week 23: 8 cans tuna

Week 24: 6lbs Shortening

Week 25: 50 lbs of wheat

Week 26: 5lbs of honey

Week 27: 10lbs of powdered milk

Week 28: 20lbs sugar

Week 29: 5lbs peanut butter

Week 30: 50lbs wheat

Week 31: 7 boxes macaroni and cheese

Week 32: 10lbs powdered milk

Week 33: 1 bottle 500 asprin

Week 34: 5 cans cream of chicken soup

Week 35: 50 lbs of wheat

Week 36: 7 boxes of macaroni and cheese

Week 37: 6lbs of salt

Week 38: 20 lbs of sugar

Week 39: 8 cans tomato soup

Week 40: 50lbs wheat

Week 41: 5 cans cream of chicken soup

Week 42: 20 lbs of sugar

Week 43: 1 bottle 500 multi-vitamins

Week 44: 8 cans tuna

Week 45: 50 lbs of wheat

Week 46: 6lbs of macaroni

Week 47: 20 lbs of sugar

Week 48: 5 cans cream of mushroom soup

Week 49: 5 lbs of honey

Week 50: 20 lbs of sugar

Week 51: 5 cans tomato soup

Week 52: 50 lbs of wheat

Some weeks you will habe leftover change. Save the change each week in a kitty to be used for the weeks you may exceed $5 like with wheat, milk or vitamins

You will end up with
500 lbs of wheat
150 lbs of sugar
40 lbs of powdered milk
12 lbs of salt
10 lbs of honey
5 lbs of peanut butter
45 cans of tomato soup
15 cans of cream of mushroom soup
15 cans chicken soup
24 cans of tuna
21 boxes of macaroni and cheese
500 asprin
1000 multi-vitamins
6lbs of yeast
6lbs of shorening
12lbs of macaroni

This should be enogh to sustain two people in your family for one year. For every two people in your family add $5.00 per week for more food storage.

I have found this helpful, I hope you find it as helpful!

Now all I need are recipes that use all these things up so that we can keep them rotated. Got any info on that?

That is really a neat thing. That makes it look doable.
