After a lot of research and testing we have determined that our favorite wheat grinder is the Wondermill Electric Mill. In the event of a powerless emergency you can purchase hand mills as well. We love WonderMill so much we decided to become authorized dealers to help you get the best price available and free shipping! To view our grain mill options and purchase yours today, go to our Grain Mill Product Page

Since so many readers have asked to have our series of free email reminders BabyStep Checklists available all at once, we decided to incorporate them into a useful manual that would help people to be able to organize and store all of their food storage information in one place. Purchase your Food Storage Made Easy Binder and you will receive the downloadable eBook file immediately.


We recommend having your computer backed up in case of an emergency where you might lose all your computer data.

    Do you have a good outlet for Bread makers--Bread blenders
  • margieguest
    I got a Bread Mixer made by Cooks. It was a fraction of the price of most mixers and I love it. It goes on sale at Penneys and with coupons, it's a great deal. I got mine for about $130.00
  • Jennice, We aren't dealers for any bread makers. I actually just use my kitchenaid and then bake them in regular bread pans. We are going to try to look into this in the future and will post what we learn!

    my favorite book is Make a Mix!!! From food storage and beyond... You can make mixes, they last 6 months to a year. There is dry mixes, refrigator mixes, freezer mixes, etc.. It make cooking so much faster! Great way to use food storage!!!


    SHELF RELIANCE is a great website you can set up what you want to buy for your food storage, and how much a mnoth, then have it shipped every month. It might be a little more expensive this way. But I know that it's coming every month and I can deducte from my grocery bill! I know I'm stocking up every month.
  • Hi Everyone,

    What a fun site/blog. So many good things! Another great resource to compliment all the wonderful ideas here on these pages is "Marlene's Magic with Food Storage." It shares how to build your food storage step by step then has hundreds of recipies of what to cook and how. It also covers baby food storage, sprouting, using tofu, etc. Their are files to download and tons of information on the web site. www.marlenesmagic.com

    Hi Girls,

    I love your website and I am constantly checking it! I have just come across an amazing company called "Shirley J's"... They have great products to use in your food storage with an amazing 20 year plus shelf life! I went to a demo today here in Utah, and their products taste phenom! They are in their pre-launch phase, as they've just gotten new owners and they are revamping to not only sell to restaurant chains (which is where they've been hiding!) but to get it into homes like ours!!! I love that not only do they stress food storage, but just as important, pantry management! Imagine, having a soup base that makes soups, cheese sauces, and so much more! I was amazed at not only the flavor but the prices! Just a tidbit and shout out to you gals and all you do to make food storage fun and easy! Please let me know if you have any interest in Shirley J's- I am now a "Home Chef" with the company and I do home demo's, church demo's, and will be soon hosting my own cook demo's in my home regularly and posting about them!!!! I am so excited about their products and how wonderful it will be to use them daily and throughout the years! Drop me a line and let me know what you think...carpenter.jen@gmail.com

    hi
    i am new to your website and i am on the baby step 1.
    i am trying to put my 72 hr emergency pack together and i need to purchase the wing stove.. i went onto the website emergency central and they do not have it. can you please recommend another website that i may purchase this item.

    thank you
    lori
  • Dale
    I can't recommend another website, but I can recommend another stove. It's a little bigger, but comes with fuel tablets and you can use a bigger pan with it too. http://tinyurl.com/flatstovefuel
  • I have no affiliation with this company, but my friend orders food from them and they have some great grains, beans, everything you mention here except real milk (they have what they call better than milk, etc). I think it is a real winner.
  • Allow me to suggest that you check out a video demonstrating an excellent pail for storing grain, other food, or other items to keep dry.
