Earlier this spring, I found the Enough To Spare food storage calculator. I ran the numbers and was shocked. My family had under 100 cans of food storage, but needed over 700 to have a full year's supply. Going out and buying it new wasn't an option at the time, and I was more than a little overwhelmed. I had a distinct impression that I needed to get serious about food storage and, at the advice of Bronco Mendenhall, I whispered out loud, "Okay, I will." What happened next was a miracle.
I started looking around on social marketplaces and found a guy who was getting rid of dozens of boxes of food storage for about a third of the list price. On that same day in his same neighborhood, I found another lady who was moving and was practically giving away dozens of boxes of wheat. A week or two later, I found another guy who inherited an almost-new supply of food storage from his grandmother and needed to get rid of it.
Within a few weeks of committing to follow the prompting, the Lord made it happen. I was able to nearly complete my full year's supply for a fraction of what it would have cost to buy it new.
I witness that the Lord will help you as you commit to following his promptings and follow his counsel to have a year's supply of food in your home. -UTAH
