Some weeks you will have leftover change. Save the change each week in a kitty to be used for the weeks you may exceed $5.00 (like wheat or milk)
You will end up with:
500 pounds of wheat
180 pound of sugar
40 pounds of powdered milk
12 pounds of salk
10 pounds of honey
5 pounds of peanut butter

24 cans of tuna
21 boxes of macaroni and cheese
500 asprin
1000 multi-vitamins
6 pounds of yeast
6 pounds of shortening
12 pounds of macaroni
This should be enough to sustain two people for one year. For every two people in you family add $5.00 more and double or triple the amount of the time you are buying that week.
WATER !!! WATER!!!
Water storage is critical but easy. It is recommended that we store a 2-week supply (estimated 14 gallons per person). Store water in plastic bottles (not milk jugs, or containers which held non -edible products) barrels or even in mylar bags. For storage add 1/2 -1 teaspoon of bleach per 5 gallons.
Water in water-beds, water heaters, toilet tanks or cisterns may also be used, after water purification.
