Food Storage for $5.00 a Week

Week 2: 5 cans cream of chicken soup

Wal-Mart has them for $0.64 a can, $3.20 for 5 cans.

This plan should be enough to sustain two people for one year. For every two people in your family add $5.00 more and double the amount of the item you are buying that week.

If you can not afford more than the $5.00 a week for the whole family at least do the $5.00, it's a start.

Remember to mark the date on an item when you buy it and use the oldest first.

**To get the family involved, buy the food and for FHE have the children date the items and help put them away (idea by Rhonda Bigley).**
