It is always a good time to be prepared!!! There are some amazing tips here:
Be Prepared

I told my husband one of my goals for 2010 was to get a wheat grinder, some wheat, and a recipe book so I'll know how to use it.

Can you share it with us?   

Ditto to everything that's been said before.  Couponing is a great way to work towards your food storage.  We've got at least a 3-12 month supply of most foods just from stockpiling items with coupons and sales (and at least a year of nonperishables -- TP, shampoo/conditioner, soap, etc.).  Now I'm wanting to focus more on adding to my long-term storage of basic items.  There is a great blog that helps you learn how to use your food storage:

Don't get overwhelmed.  Just work on it a little at a time and looking back you'll be surprised how much you have prepared.  I also wash and refill all of our juice bottles (64-96 oz.) to store water.  Once you start getting a good stockpile of items, storage can be a difficult thing.  Here is a post on another blog that has a neat idea for storing food:

Good luck!

This may sound odd, but a GREAT food storage item is canned - uncondensed soup like Campbell's Chunky or Progresso.  They require no added water, are easy pop tab opened and can be easily reheated but do not require it. I try to get the ones with the least sodium as sodium induces thirst.  Every time these soups go on sale for a WOW deal I buy them.

FYI - Check out this preparedness forum, there is tons of info here!

I saw on the news last night the LDS church was sending down small water purification bottles to Haiti.  Those look like a wonderful idea.  Has anyone looked into these before?

I love stocking up on food storage with coupons. But one other thing that my husband and I just did last year is we stocked up on freeze dried food storage. In case of emergency where we might have to leave our homes we wont be able to carry very many cans of food right? So this is a great idea for these kinds of situations. One bucket, serves one adult, for a whole month! So If we had only a few minutes to leave our house in case of an emergency,we could grab one bucket and our 72 hour kits and know that we would have enough food and the essentials to cover our family for at least 2 weeks for Me, my husband and our 2 year old with one bucket! Oh man, the peace of mind this new food storage method brought to our family. Not only that, but it tastes really good. I could eat it on a daily basis. We bought 2 years worth of it! Here is their website if you think this is something that may be a good foundation for your families food storage. We emailed them and they gave us this promotion code for a 10% discount. I believe it was "smart utah". There may or may not be a space.
