Food Storage Giveaway Contest!!

Ok, as promised, here is my Food Storage Contest. This is a great way to get a fire burning under ya'll that like to read my blog, but can't quite get started with their 3 month supply. As most of you know I have been working really hard the last couple months to get my 3 month supply of food. I started at zero, nada, nothing and now I have food filling 2 shelves. I estimate it is about a one month supply, maybe a little more. I have done this little by little, week by week, and you can too!

The contest is simple you can do as little or as much as you want. It's like getting raffle tickets for every thing you do.



1. Assess your food storage. If you are like me I had zero so that was easy. Make a menu for your three month supply. It can be 7 day, 14 day, 30 day, or whatever works for you. Most people make a 2 week menu. Multiply it to make the 3 month supply and figure out how much food you will need. Don't go buy the food! Just make menus and figure how much you will need.

2. Plan a spot specifically for your food storage, both 3 month and long term supplies, as well as water supply. This can be ANYWHERE! I have a 2 bedroom apartment and I am making it work. No excuses!

3. Make something using wheat. Share your recipe.

4. Figure out how much water you need/would like to store. Figure out where you will store it.

5. Plan a way to add to your 3 month supply. This will vary for everyone. It can be a can a week, $5 per shopping trip, a monthly lump sum, case lot sale stock up, or whatever. This is personal so make it work for you. Don't make it overwhelming.



You get one entry per item you do and one extra entry for sending me a picture of each item you do. (Yes, I want pics of your lists and recipes!) Get creative. You can do as much or as little as you want, but as an extra incentive I am giving you 2 bonus entries if you do all 5 with pictures! A total of 12 entries.



***BONUS*** I will give you 2 bonus entries for every person you refer! Email your friends or post a link on your blog. This is a fun way to get your friends and family jump started with their food storage!

***BONUS*** Also I will give you 2 bonus entries for setting aside money from your tax return specifically for food storage. Some people I have heard are setting aside 10%. I am going to do about $100 for my long term storage.



So yeah, that's a lot of information, I know. This gives you a lot of options to do as much or as little as you would like. Get your friends on the bandwagon and make it fun! It's like a raffle and each entry is another ticket towards a chance to win the prize. What is the prize, you ask? (Of course it's more food storage!!)


For the first name drawn out of the hat (yes, it will literally be a hat. Gotta get the kids involved.) I will give 1 case - 12-1 quart boxes of milk. You can pick 1%, 2%, whole milk, or chocolate milk.
Second name drawn out will receive 4 - 1 quart boxes of milk, your choice.
Third name drawn out will receive 6 boxes of the 8 oz chocolate milk.

I will also give the person with the most referrals a bonus of 2 - 1 quart boxes of milk, your choice.
The shelf life of this milk is about a year. My kids LOVE the chocolate milk and if they knew I had some stored in the house it would be gone. I would recommend putting it in the fridge before you drink it, but it's just a preference. Cold milk, warm milk, you decide, but you can drink it right off the shelf.
I will mail these prizes anywhere in the country so don't think you can't enter if you don't live by me. The real prize will be that you are on your way to have a full 3 month and then one year supply of food!
The contest ends February 28th!! Email me your submissions and photos and I will post them all together on March 1st. angelicagrannis@hotmail.com Good luck everyone!
