7 Mistakes of Food Storage

By Vicki Tate
Backwoods Home Magazine

If you are going to store food, make sure that the food you store is adequate for the need you and your family anticipate. This may not be as easy as to achieve as many people think, because the facts are that most people make serious errors when storing food—errors that will come back to haunt them when the food they’ve stored is the only thing that stands between them and their empty, dissatisfied, bellies.

There are seven common mistakes people make when storing food. They are:

1. Variety
2. Extended staples
3. Vitamins
4. Quick and easy and “psychological foods”
5. Balance
6. Containers
7. Use your storage

I plan to add a list of links to other food storage articles and resources on the Web. If you have any you're familiar with, please send them to me, and I will include them. - Silas

I put white labels with the expiration dates on jars in my fridge, the expiration dates are so tiny, this makes it easier to use the older items first.

rhw mormans used to have a list of foods to store and in what quantities. i used to have it but i think the wife memorized it. we also keep about 20 gallons of water frozen. We no how to dry meat and preserve foods so i think we would survive an emergency for quite awhile.
