This Month’s LDS Monthly Plan to Acquire Food Storage and 72-Hour Kit
in One Year (with Monthly Goals)
===========================================================================
"When people are able but unwilling to take care of themselves we are
responsible to employ the dictum of the Lord that the idler shall not eat
the bread of the laborer". Elder Boyd K. Packer
Spiritual Goal---Attend one more session of General Conference than you normally do.
Provident Living Goal---Make a goal to read 30 minutes/day to your children or grandchildren. If you have not children to read to, make a goal to read at least 30 minutes/day just for pleasure.
Storage Goal:
50 cans soup, stew or chili per person
10 pounds cheese--dried or bottled per person
shaving supplies
dish soap
72 hour kit:
4 granola bars per person
2 sticks beef jerky per person
1 package chewing gum per person
hard candies or lollipops--at least 12 per person (note these items
will be rotated every 6 months--see
April)
Check batteries for light and radio. Replace if needed.

This Month’s Frugal Living Tips:
==============================
Acquire your food storage a little each week. Determine your food storage
goals and commit yourself to buying something for food storage on a regular
basis. Set aside money for food storage purchases with a little extra for
that great buy you find just before the sale runs out. If budgeting for
food storage is difficult, make choices to allow for food storage budgeting
(for example, watch one less movie regularly, cut back on a costly habit
like soft drinks or fast food, have a garage sale to get rid of unused
items, take a part-time job or sell handmade items, call upon family members
to drop their change in a food storage piggy bank, or choose one or more
budget items to cut back on. Use coupons, sales, closeouts, bulk buying,
etc. to make your food storage more affordable. Buy quality food items
and store properly so your food storage doesn't go to waste. Use your food
storage and replace what's used, rotating out your stored food so you keep
it fresher. Every 6 months turn cans over so that they don't settle and
break down in one spot.
