3-month supply: Veggies

From WikiCommons, by: Elina Mark

Let's talk about your 3-month supply of Vegetables!!!

How much? According to THIS spreadsheet, you need to store about 30 lbs per person. Since the fruit amount is 15 lbs, I am personally going with 15 lbs per person.

What? There are dozens of different vegetable products you can store. Here's a short list: Canned vegetables (peas, corn, green beans, carrots, potatoes, etc.), frozen vegetables, dried vegetables, potatoe flakes, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, pumpkin, pickles, and more.

The best thing to do is to think of what you use in your family. You may not want to store something that you never eat, although remember that VARIETY is so important.

Here are some prices. Keep in mind that these are low, stock-up prices and you may not see these often.

Canned corn, green beans, carrots and peas: $.03/oz which is $.49 per can.

Tomato sauce: $.03/oz.

Diced and stewed tomatoes: $.03/oz.
