Follow the Prophet, Follow the Prophet, Follow the Prophet, He Knows the Way!

After about 2 years of researching, saving money, and just plain out putting it off we finally got our family a food storage supply! To say this makes me super happy is an understatement! We started almost a year ago with buying water containers that would fit in our apartment. Have I yet to fill them with water?! NO!

Anyway, we went with this company "Wise" for our food storage. When we were living in St. George we had a salesman come and let us cook some of the food to taste it and see if we even liked it. It was actually really good tasting! Next was the price. It was not super cheap, but it was a really great price for what you got. Next, was shelf life. This stuff can last for 25 years and we don't have to rotate it out. Next in our decision process is the fact that we know we will be moving a lot in the next coming years and we don't want to ship tons of cans and other food storage stuff. It can get expensive... Our little over a month worth of food storage for our family of 4 came in 2 tubs like the one in the picture. They stack super easily and can go just about anywhere. Not just stack easily, but don't weigh that much! In an emergency situation you can grab the 2 tubs and still be able to run with them if need be. All this food requires is water. It doesn't even have to be heated water although I'm for certain the food will taste better with hot water. I'm so glad we were able to taste test the stuff because I was so worried I wouldn't even want to eat something that comes in a bag that you just add water and it can last 25 years... It just sounds gross, but I know it isn't because I tasted it!

We also were able to buy a 72 hour kit! I feel like we are following what the prophet wants our family to be doing! It took some time, but the desire has always been there. We pray that we will NEVER have to use this stuff in an emergency and that we just get blessed for following the prophet, but hey, we are now prepared! It is a huge relief off my shoulders that if something should happen, we are taken care of.
