Food Storage Fridays- Hit those sales!
What sales you're asking??
The answer: those WONDERFUL after Halloween sales! They mark candy down 50% or more!!
Now many people... including myself.... are thinking... "WHY would I want to stock up on candy?!"
For Food Storage silly!! :)
Did you ever think to put candy in your food storage?? It's a very important item!
Reasons to keep candy in your food storage and 72 hour kits:
* it will give you much needed sugar in an emergency
* it is pocket sized and therefore easy to grab and store!
* candy is something your kids are almost guaranteed to eat!
While most women may want to head for the chocolate section (me included!) The best candies to keep in your storage are hard candies. Chocolate melts and doesn't keep for very long. Hard candies can last in your storage for up to 10 years... that is if your kids or husbands don't find them first! :)
Good ideas for food storage candies:
* starburst
* butterscotch or cinnamon disks
* root beer barrels
* starlight mints
* smarties
* tootsie rolls
* lollipops
* jolly ranchers
* etc, etc, etc....
I keep large bags of hard candies in my food storage bins and then a small Ziploc bag full of candies in each 72 hour kit.
This is a fun week to spend your allotted amount... HAVE FUN!! :)
