It doesn't seem like anyone else has trouble downloading it so there is probably something going on on your end that is blocking it from downloading.

You will need that to open the files. Or you can download the program Open Office which will open word and excel documents. If not, you can always use the printable pdf versions of the calculators. They are not as handy but they still work! Hope that helps. Juanette, Do you have Excel on your computer? You will need that to open the files.

I have some food storage information from Against the Grain in SLC that tells you what to store instead of wheat. You can still use the spreadsheet here (I do!), just don't put anything in the columns for wheat. Thank you ladies for everything you have done here - I found your site about a week ago and I am now consumed with food storage! You make it so easy and I am so very grateful I found you!

It says that each adult needs 3 pounds, but when I put the number of adults in, it did not multiply that number by three for the total pounds I needed to purchase. Does that make sense? I don't know if that is a problem on any other item or not. Thanks for all of your hard work. It sure makes my job easier!
