Food storage is perhaps the single most important preparedness measure that every family should take. It is insurance against any number of perils, ranging from natural disasters and disruption of transportation to something as mundane as simply being laid off from work. In part because of galloping food and fuel prices and some spot shortages at the wholesale level, demand has recently far exceeded supply for most long term food storage vendors. Many vendors now have orders backed up for as much as three months. I most strongly recommend that you get your family’s food storage squared away soon, before the vendor order backlogs stretch out even longer.
If possible, buy locally and haul it yourself. Not only will you save money on shipping, but your will also have the opportunity to keep a lower profile. If you pay in greenback cash, and they ask you for a name, just say “Mr. Cash”. For those that value their privacy there are fortunately food storage vendors throughout the United States.
