im making a list of items and things to get as well as emergency food supplies. me and my family haven't been eating what we should have. i myself have been eating straight bread and pasta for months on end and its time to make a big change.
we got some of the basics like fresh veggies and what not but i need your guys help with items that we should get. my family knows of the supply chain and how its getting harder to get things so they are willing to make that hard 180 and get everything we need
Here's what I did. Make a list of meals your family likes but uses few ingredients, like spaghetti. To serve spaghetti once a week for a year I'd need 52 lb spaghetti, 52 jars sauce. The spaghetti and sauce are often on sale for $1 each so for about $104 I have a year's worth of spaghetti dinner. Then if you want you can include canned ground meat or a side of fruit.
Follow the same plan with other meals. Then I plan on the last day of the week to make a stew or soup for any leftovers. Beans and rice make great fillers.
As for breakfasts, its easy. Hot or cold cereals, eggs (frozen eggbeaters, freeze dried eggs), pancakes that need only water to mix.
Thats how I started then kept adding more esp canned meats. 1 extra item each shopping trip.
