Food in the pantry is better than money in the bank.

It’s certainly okay to have money in the bank, but it may not be accessible or usable when you need it.  During hard times in the past, banks have been shut down or accounts frozen.  If this were to happen, it would probably be too late to implement a food storage program for your family.  For those reasons, it’s important that you first attend to your food storage needs.  Food storage also enables families to purchase much more efficiently.  By buying for several months or year at a time, such as Wise Grab n’ Go buckets or you can buy in bulk and take advantage of seasonal sales.  You can purchase cases of items when they come on sale.  You should have at minimum of a month of food for your family.  Once this is achieved work towards 3 months then 6 mo then a year supply of food.  Buy food with the longest shelf life possible and remember to rotate and use the food before it expires.
