Everyone thinks stockpiles are for anything, but food. Well, I am here to help you realize you can stockpile food as well. This post can help you find ways to get stockpile prices and what is great to get.  I personally stockpile food and household items. Being prepared and knowing that if we lost a job or something else happens, that we have what we need to make it a bit without an income coming in. Also good to have if someone gets sick or hurt and you have to take time off. Hope this helps you get started.

Stockpile Items to get:

  • Mac n Cheese
  • Bread
  • Milk
  • Soup
  • Noodles
  • Sauce
  • Rice
  • Beans
  • Corn Bread
  • Meat
  • Flour
  • Sugar
  • Peanut Butter
  • Cereal
  • Canned Veggies
  • Water
  • Canned Tuna, Chicken, and other meat products

How to buy at low prices:

  • Look for Manager Specials (Meat, Bread and sometimes milk)
  • Look at amazing sale prices
  • Combine coupons with sales
  • Check your local discount stores

Having a stockpile of food is also great for if you want to cut down on your grocery budget. I have a small deep freezer plus my fridge/freezer and a small pantry. I separate the meat into servings for my family and vacuum seal them (lasts longer in the freezer). When you freeze milk make sure you pour a little out so that way it can expand and not explode. Another idea is dried fruit if you want to add that to your list. Also, check dates on food once every month or two and make sure I put items that will expire first in front, so they can be used. Some foods will go a bit past the expiration date, just be very careful. Stockpiles can help you in multiple ways, so invest maybe $10-$15 every week or two on adding to it. It is worth it!
