To my prepping friends new and old:
If your house is starting to look like a small grocery store and you have run out of room to store your containers. I have a suggestion. Canned dehydrated food storage.
I know that it is a bit costly. But add up what your family spends on food for a year and there are some cost effective options out there.
So many of the companies making/marketing canned dehydrated foods have had all of their inventories purchased and sent to Japan recently. It will take some work to find available supplies.
The good news:
I found that Sam's Club is still offering the Arguson's surival food kit for 4 (1400 cal/day) for a whole year for $3k... delivered? That's right...free shipping! And was is still in stock as of yesterday. It is delivered to your house in about 10-14 days and it is all on one 1500 lb pallet and it has a 25-35 yr shelf life. (If you don't use it, you can always "will it" to your kids and their families.) They have smaller 2 week, 1 month, 3 month and 6 month kits also so you can start smaller if you are on a budget.
You have to order it on line but doing so you save on sales tax , picking it up and, using the right credit card, you can get either miles, points or cash back. (Remember to pay the card off...cause debt is bad.)
Just a point to ponder. No affiliation with Sam's Club, etc. YMMV.
