I’ve never had a real plan to build a long term food supply, but because I  often buy in bulk (mainly to save money), I usually have enough food on hand for a few weeks and possibly months.   There have been several times our town has been completely shut down due to severe weather.  During those times, I am extremely grateful for our personal supply of food and water.

There is plenty of information online about emergency prepardness, but building a prepardness pantry for people with food allergies has unique challenges.  Annaliese from The Rice of Life has done a brilliant job of putting a plan together to build a year’s supply of  safe food for her family for just $10 per week. While my list would look different from hers, I find it completely inspiring.  Check it out here.
