Some family members have put beans, rice, dried potates, etc away..the beans and rice they take out of the bags and put in double zip locks. The everyday foods are bought in case and they date them and use and replace as they use.... Although we have some water...we have clean containers to store water at a moments notice. On a budget, we all started small and shop "on sale"... And of course, that 72 hour kit in the closet by the door...ready to grab and run!!! We made our own, cheap, out of used back packs from the "used stuff" store... We buy freeze dried foods “on sale” and store under beds etc…

If possible a years' worth is even better. With the uncertain weather, economic problems, etc. you never know when something will hit you out of the blue that will cause a need for your storage. We experienced this when we suffered a job loss with a 5 months stint of no income. Our food storage was a life-saver. Having a storage of at least 3 months of food is an absolute must.

Our 24-hour, 7-day-a-week news culture is forced to repackage the trivial into the sensational, and then peddle it off as news. The swine flu coverage has been disproportionate to the hazard, however it is still best to remain prepared. I discuss this on my blog, have a look http://www.survivaloutpost.blogspot.com.

As far as keeping your family calm I would talk about it giving straightforward, honest answers. Get reputable information from CDC's website rather than news channels. Watch less TV, as they can't stop themselves from fear mongering in order to sell a good story. News channels will even talk about themselves being more responsible then five minutes later have some scary story title in big letters on your screen. So get news when you want it and avoid TV as much as possible. Patricia, As mentioned to Michele getting 3-4 weeks worth of rice, beans, and carrots is good way to have low cost food storage.

Try to buy food that you normally eat or are at least likely to eat. If you can use the food regularly then you can buy a week's worth and replenish until there is trouble. I don't think using antibiotics is a good idea unless you really need to take them. Anyway antibiotics won't help against virus'. Tamiflu is an antiviral drug. However if people take it regularly the chances drug resistant strains of the virus emerging go up so it will only create bigger problems eventually. Hi Michele,

I totally agree that having a year supply of food and water is a great idea. Right now I'm totally broke and can't buy anything right now, but I will when I get on my feet. Right now I have a month's supply but I want a year's supply for sure. I wish we could get antibiotics for a year, too, so we don't have to be to dependent on the health care system. Any ideas on that? Great website. I'll be back. Enjoy your website. I totally agree that having a year supply of food and water is a great idea.
