Why Food Storage?

Many people have started paying attention to the idea of food storage these days. There are as many reasons as there are people including:

• Being prepared for emergencies (hurricanes and other disasters) 
• Protect in instance of loss of job
• Ability to save money on groceries
• Having all ingredients on hand and not needing to run to the store for just one or two items

I personally started my food storage before I made a change in my career. I didn't loss my job, but I knew that I would have less income for several months. In anticipation of this change, I decided to buy extra food, knowing that in the coming months that funds would be tight.

It was smart decision.

Here I am, six months later and I still have less income than I did previously. And I have been, for the most part, living on my food storage, although I do have opportunities to buy fresh fruits and veggies occasionally.
