The food storage schedule

I have spent some time going through a couple of different lists to come up with our master supply list. I think there will be some adjusting as time goes by but it is a starting point. You can start at the beginning or jump in at any week that makes the most sense for your family. I suppose the most important thing to start with is to figure out how much of what your family needs, then find a place or a couple of places to put all of the stuff. We have shelves in the basement and family room and I am starting to store things under the beds. I will be very happy when under the beds is full. I have a weekly break down of what to buy or collect each week. This could be done biweekly or monthly depending on what is better for you. I have also spent some of these weeks going through what I have and getting rid of stuff that has expired or we no longer use. So that when I get new stuff it has a place to go. I have not spent wildly (of course I can't afford wild spending but someday it would be fun to do it once), only about $40 - $60 a month. I expect that as the stockpile grows the amount will probably go down, unless the price of food goes up. So without further ado here is my master plan/buy list.
