Likely you have heard the news stories telling of crop
failure due to high temperatures and drought conditions in the mid-west. Corn is the main crop being
affected. This could mean higher
prices at the grocery store for products containing corn; everything from
cereal to soft drinks. Not only
that, but corn is a main source of livestock feed. When the price of corn gets too high, cattle go to slaughter
because farmers can’t afford to feed them. That actually means that there will be ample meat available
at good prices now and in the near future, but within six months time, meat and
dairy products may not be available at normal quantities, thus making the price
of meat rise as well. If you would

What can you do to prepare for these grocery cost increases?
- Add to
your current food storage
- If you
don’t have any food storage get some
Purchasing and storing food now can help offset the cost of
items that you will have to purchase at a higher price later.
- Make a
food storage budget
Few people have enough money to go out and purchase
everything that they will need at one time. Therefore, it is a good idea to set a food storage budget
and add that much to your storage each month.
- Be
faithful in adding to your food storage each month.
Little by little, it will add up and you will have the
equivalent of a home store to use, as you need it.
- Be
wise in what you store
Only store the things that you eat on a regular basis.
- Rotate
what you store so that it will not get old or spoil
It is not easy to stick with a food storage plan. It is easy to get distracted and spend
your food storage money on something that may seem more tempting. I have found that the Shelf Reliance
Thrive Q has helped me to build my food storage on a consistent basis. The Shelf Reliance Thrive Q is a
program that helps you to consistently build a food storage plan over a
designated time. First, you choose
a monthly food storage budget and enter it into the program. Then you are asked how many people are
in your family and the time period you would like your food storage to
last. You then go through an
outline of foods available and eliminate any that you do not wish to store. After you have completed the initial
questions your program is set up.
Each month, the Shelf Reliance Thrive program will offer you certain
products from your chosen list that will meet but not go over your budget. At that point you will be given the
choice to accept those choices or request different items that you want at that
point. They will then be shipped
to you. This program is an easy
and consistent way to build food storage.
Not only that, but the products are high quality and very
desirable. The freeze-dried
products have a shelf life of 25 years in most cases.
I have been on this program for 7 months now and during that
time, I have really seen my food storage grow. I love the food and the best part is that I have a feeling
of peace that comes from being actively involved in controlling my food budget.
