I can't overemphasize how important it is to have a backup food supply. Because of terrorism, overspending by our government, and lack of planning by farmers, we are in more danger than ever. Most people buy lots of freeze-dried food, MRE's, food bars and similar items. But unfortunately, these are usually WAY overpriced and not particularly healthy. You're actually far better off preparing for the future by going to a place like Walmart or Costco, and here are some foods you should get while you're there. The best thing about these foods is they'll almost never go bad.
Sugar. Although it's unhealthy to eat it on a regular basis, you'll be glad you have it in a crisis. Sometimes you'll need some quick energy if you have to move fast. It's also a huge morale boost if you can sweeten your drinks or make cakes and candies.
Salt. I cannot overemphasize the importance of salt. Many leading survival experts believe salt will be the number one bartering item after the SHTF. Not only is it great for seasoning bland food, it's important for preserving food, healing wounds and skin problems, making soap, and much more.
Baking Soda. This one has LOTS of uses. Most people think of it as an important ingredient for baking, but it's also great for cleaning teeth, cleaning dishes, cleaning clothes or anything with stains, absorbing odors, and much more. You can get a huge bag of baking soda for less than $20.
Instant Beverages. Things like instant coffee or cocoa. So long as they're vacuum sealed, they'll stay good for years and all you need is warm water. There's nothing like a hot drink if it's cold and/or you're tired. You'll be glad to have this.
Liquor. Although not technically a food, it's still something you'll want to have. A drink or two every now and then can be very relaxing. But even if you don't like to drink, you'll still find this to be a great barter item. In addition, it's great for treating wounds.
Wheat. You'll need a food mill, but it's worth it because wheat can last several decades. 25% of the world's food is make from wheat, including flour, bread, pasta, and other staples.
White Rice. The great thing about rice is how many calories you get for a such a low price. Just make sure it's white and not brown, as brown rice has a fairly short shelf life.
Honey. A healthy, natural sweetener that never goes bad. After a few years of storage it can get hard, but all you have to do is heat it up.
Distilled White Vinegar. It's important for cooking certain items, but it can also be used for cleaning.
Soy Sauce. This one never goes bad because of all the salt it contains. It's a tasty way to season vegetables, especially if you're stir-frying them in a skillet over a fire.
These are just 10 of the 37 food items that will be sold out after the next crisis. To learn more, please Visit My Site.

Too Many Cherry Tomatoes
The Little Man has got a green thumb! Hardly waters his small garden and we still are getting veggies!! Every single day we take this white bowl out to the tomato plants and fill it up. Most of the time we just eat them. He likes me to cut them up for him , quartered, and he just eats them with a bit of salt. What else can I do with them??? Last summer I dehydrated a ton of them. I am thinking of doing this to some of these. Maybe. Our electric bill is so high, I am scared to do anything that takes power. ANY IDEAS ON WHAT TO DO WITH THEM??

10 Pounds Of Black-Eyed Peas!!
My whole family loves Black-eyed peas. We had to go to the Dollar store this morning and I just happened to go down some aisle , trying to get up front to get in line, and seen this shelf of these beans all marked down from $1.99 to $1.00 a bag. I bought all that they had. Which unfortunately for us, was only 10 bags!! Better than nothing. 12 servings per bag. I already had 5 pounds of them left in my food storage so this is a great addition. See, how easy it is to add to your food storage and not spend a lot of money. Keep an eye out for sales, clearance, and markdown items in any store that you go to.
