On a mission
Have any of you used any of the different brands of emergency food storage products? I'm thinking of Shelf Reliance Thrive product from Costco or Traditional food from beprepared.com.
Here in KY we can get really bad ice storms and be without power for a week or so. I would like to have a month's worth of food on hand for 2 people as a start. So I'm interested in what you think would be good for that. I don't think I want to use it as part of our regular meals, just good stuff to have on hand for emergencies. Or are there products out there that are cost effective to cook with on a regular basis?
We also have a friend that we are putting together a basket for. She's struggling financially and has indicated that she would like to start doing some SS things this upcoming year. She lives in a small house with no yard. We were thinking of some freeze dried meals for her along with a windowsill herb garden and one of those upsidedown tomato things that she can grow on her porch. Maybe prepacked meals like mountain house might be better for her situation.
So what have you used and like or don't like or other advice... Thanks!
