A Reminder From Costco: Self Reliance Is Important

Last year at this time I encouraged everyone to plant a garden and execute a plan for self preparedness. I am reminded of that again. My on-line ad from Costco features freeze dried food for two. Start from seed and then freeze or can...or....forget the do-it-yourself stuff and just buy it and forget about it knowing you have squirreled something away. (You can't eat your gold or silver.)

For the budget conscious, plan on 90 cans of vegetables 90 cans of fruit, dryed milk, nuts, beans, rice and sesame seed oil, peanut butter, tuna fish, flour, canned chicken, herbs and spices. Buy all of them by 20 items each per month and in a year, you will have most of what you need. Try and get canned goods at 2 for $1 whenever possible.
