I like to buy my canned goods from any place I see that they are on sell! I like to buy in bulk too! Be sure and rotate everything and watch those expiration dates!
Commercially canned foods—the familiar items that we find on our grocery store shelves—usually come in either glass jars or tin cans. In my opinion canned foods, whether commercially prepared or canned at home, should make up the bulk of your food storage program. They are by far the least expensive option when it comes to food storage. They do not have to be refrigerated and they require minimal preparation before serving. Most can be eaten right from the can. Canned foods also contain a fair amount of water, which can come in handy in meeting your daily water needs. Due to their water content canned foods are heavy when compared to dehydrated foods, but you probably won't be hauling your home stash around anyway. Canned foods come in convenient sizes, so an opened can will probably be consumed without leaving leftovers which would require refrigeration. They also stack well making it easy for you to rotate your stores. You can gradually and economically build your home food storage stash by purchasing a few extra canned goods each time you buy your groceries or buy in bulk.
I hope you enjoy your food storage and putting it together as much as I do! Sorry about missing last week it was a very busy week. With Megan Johnson having the baby and Dan was to have surgery on Thursday but because of his blood pressure they canceled the surgery. Once we get his blood pressure under control we will go in for surgery. Plus our Jennifer is in the hospital as I am typing this - our little granddaughter wants to come early but we will keep her with Jen for as long as we can! Whoa what a week!
