How to Build Your Food Storage On Only $5 a Week
http://tacticalintelligence.net/blog/how-to-build-your-food-storage-for-only-5-a-week.htm

by Tactical Intelligence on February 19th, 2010

I was over at LDSPreppers today and found a great post in the forums by “AZPrepper”. He basically came up with a list of $5 food items that you can purchase each week for a year to build up your food storage for you and someone else.

Although he mentions that some of the food costs may have changed, the general concept and estimate should still be worth your while.

Here’s the list of what to buy each week: --- copyrighted ... continued at link, above ---

DIY $20 Survival Food Bucket
https://www.askaprepper.com/diy-20-survival-food-bucket/

Post a reply 20-Survival-Food-Bucket-890x395_c If you’re just getting started with your food preps, a home made $20 emergency food bucket is a great way to put up a lot of food quickly without spending a lot of money. Pre-made bucket kits can sell for as much as $200 online, and with a little bit of time and forethought you can build one yourself for a tenth the cost.

A single 5 gallon bucket can hold a months worth of food for one person. Imagine a a months worth of food security, shelf stable for 25 to 30 years, all with only a small investment in time, money and space. Easy enough. Here’s how to get started. ---CONTINUED---

Prepping on the Cheap: The $5 a Week Shopping Challenge
http://www.shtfplan.com/emergency-preparedness/prepping-on-the-cheap-the-5-a-week-shopping-challenge_07102012

(SNIP) ... This week I made a trip to three different stores. I went to Wal-Mart, the dollar store and a grocery store. Not to locate the best prices but to locate the regular prices on common food items that might find their way into a prepper’s pantry. The following list is not based on mega-markdown loss leaders – it is based on the normal price and availability.

Here are 52 stock-ups – one for each week! ---CONTINUED---

Survival Preps For Just $5 A Week – Anyone Can Afford To Prepare
https://besurvival.com/guides/survival-preps-for-just-5-a-week-anyone-can-afford-to-prepare

I’ve had scores of people ask me how to get started prepping, or worse, explain how they have to “sneak” preps from their spouse, or that they simply “don’t have the money” to prep at all.

To help those folks I have put together a list of items that can be bought on the cheap, roughly about $5 each.

Some of the important items are more, but most are less than five dollars. The goal of this list is to demonstrate that prepping can be done for as little as $ 5.00 per week because I don’t know anyone who can’t spare five bucks a week. ... --- CONTINUED---

Cheapest Foods that You Can Stockpile
https://www.askaprepper.com/cheapest-foods-that-you-can-stockpile/

Anyone who has even thought about prepping quickly came to realize that it’s not a hobby for the faint of heart. One look at what it costs to build a stockpile is all it takes to send many potential preppers packing. I personally know quite a few people who have expressed interest in prepping, but haven’t started. Their reason, in every case, is not having the money to do it.

(SNIP) ... Keep in mind that we’re talking about a survival diet here, not a normal everyday one. It’s intention is to keep you alive, hopefully while providing enough nutrients that you can continue to function. It’s probably not going to be the foods you like or provide convenient foods to eat; but it will put calories in your belly, so that your body can keep on going. ---CONTINUED---

$200 Survival Food Menu for 2 Months
https://www.askaprepper.com/200-survival-food-menu-for-2-months?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=AAP

(SNIP) ... Let’s see what we can do, building a starter survival stockpile for one person for $200. That’s going to have to be enough food to last that one person for two months, providing three meals per day. Breaking that down, we get $3.33 per day, for the three meals we need. Not much, is it?

Since this is survival planning, we’re going to go with a survival diet, concentrating on the macronutrients, rather than the micronutrients. That means we want roughly: ---CONTINUED---
