Oh Pixie! I'm sorry.... I saw tuna at WalMart just the other day for 43 cents a can, and I got sugar at Fred Meyer/Kroger for $1.79 - 5 lbs.
I also found chicken broth for 38 cents a can. I find really good bargains all the time, and I stock up when I see them. That way, I don't have to pay full price when I *need* the item.
Look for warehouse type stores and don't be afraid to buy store brands. Most of the time, they are packaged by major food companies, they just have a different label.
I wish I could send you some bargains but customs would make it much more expensive than what you already pay. Good luck, hon. Keep searching...

i live in a small town anbd there are only 2 grocery stores. there is coopers, the one i use. i pay a little more there, but there is a good reason for that... most of the food at the other store is so cheaop because it is already expired....or close to. and there are the foods that i have never heard of and cant pronounce. like i saw one called halva the other day when i was in there. it looked scary... i went there to buy meat when we first moved here, and it was greenish grey.

pixie ... maybe you can try what my dd does... she talks to the manager of the store... and aske them how much would they charge her for a case or more of this or that and usually they give her a really goood deal. i didn't think this one place would as their prices where cheaper then any place else but they did!! i was surprised. she can even get them to sale her bulk at a little country store. any ways try it all they can do is tell you no... and it doesn't cost to ask.

and there are the foods that i have never heard of and cant pronounce. like i saw one called halva the other day when i was in there. it looked scary... For the record, halva is DELICIOUS! My husband had me try it and I said no way at first cause I thought it looked like cat food LOL, but it is sooooooooo yummy!!! It kind of tastes like those sesame seed treats. Oh man, now I want some!!!

Thomas Jefferson was concise in his early warning to the American nation, "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." |

I think this $20 list is great! I was just curious (and tell me if this has been covered before)...is there a "game plan", so to speak, with this list? You know...a menu plan...There's obviously some variety within the list, but has anyone sat down and given some thought as to what/how many meals you would prepare using these items? Just something I was thinking about...thanks to everyone on here for all the great ideas and support in preps!

***NOW! It's done... I'm sure there will be things on these lists that you may not like or use. You have to remember that this is not set in stone. It is meant to be a guide to kick start your thinking processes so that you can see how much easier it is to stock up if you just have a plan!
If you do and will utilize everything on these lists, good for you! The only things you have to do now is print & go shopping!
Another thing you need to understand is that there is no way I can tell you how many people this will feed or for how long. This is so subjective it can't be calculated.
What I can tell you is how it would work for my family but you need to know that I can make an excellent meal out of what others think is an empty pantry. When I look at this list I see;
110 lbs. of beans = 110 meals
22 cans of spaghetti sauce = 33 meals
12 cans of condensed cream soups= 12 meals (when combined w/ 1 pint canned hamburger or 1 canned ham or 2 cans tuna or 1 pint canned chicken
40 lbs rice = 60 meals (when combined w/ canned chicken or made into sweet rice or served w/ 1 pint canned hamburger & gravy from gravy mix
60 lbs chicken (total)=60 pints or 30 quarts of chicken for soup, chicken pot pie, etc., and 30 pints minimum of chicken broth. (Home canned)
24 cans of mushrooms = 12 for combining w/ other meals and 12 for soup
5 pints of stew beef - home canned = 5 meals when combined w/ veggies or noodles or both
Without breaking down the entire list, I've just named 292 meals for my family of 3 or 6, depending on who is here. Yes, I can use other stuff on the list to stretch and feed twice as many. It's all just a matter of using veggies, pasta, biscuits, bread and desserts to fill out the meal. If you have a garden, that's even better.
*note from Nana: I edited this post because I left 2 weeks out of the original plan. When I put them in, it changed the totals. Sorry.

Actually, it does! Gives you a quick glance at what you would have on hand by category if you prepared using this list. I'm not completely up on how to use the manual that you mentioned...is it posted online yet...or still a work in progress?
I'm planning my 2 wk. grocery list today, so I'm kind of focused on this for the moment. I was SUPPOSED to finish planting my garden, but it's RAINING...so I'm doing this instead. (actually, I'm also tired and sore from the tilling and planting I did yesterday, so I'm secretly enjoying letting my body rest! shh...don't tell... )
Thank you so much for your help!
