PRN Episode #38 Cheap Food Storage Plan
Ask 10 Preppers their food storage plans (how rude….) and you will get 11 answers.
I know that besides what is the best prepper firearm, what is the best way to store food is probably the hottest topic.
Well, today I am going to talk about my Cheap Food Storage Plan and why it is best for my family’s situation.
I needed something that was shelf stable long term as I am not panic buying because I believe a disaster will come next week – but rather I am hedging my bets just in case.
Additionally, I needed something easy to store so it did not get overly confusing to my wife
Also, I needed something cheap – because in a fight between might need later and need diapers now – diapers win…
I did not need to worry about:
- Food that was particularly easy to cook
- Compact size
- Food allergies
- Low water/pre-cooked
This narrowed down my search, and once I determined my food storage strategy, I was able to spend some time finding cheaper sources of supply.

You can find several articles on my www.tngun.com website discussing how to prepare the foods mentioned for long-term storage – just use the search function, or click the food and water link under “Categories”.
