Valley food storage is a great company.  They have a very high quality product as well the ability to buy storage foods À la carte or as part of a program.

You can buy their good tasting food storage foods (suitable for everyday eating also) in set ups like one week or one month increments.

There one month package is under $130 dollars which is at the lower end (but not the lowest) price of a comparison of the main food storage suppliers.

What sets Valley Food Storage apart is that they make healthier options are non-gmo, and have no artificial preservatives, fillers, or hydrogenated oils.

Besides the healthier options, Valley Food Storage tastes good.

When I made the white bean chili it compared very favorably with home made chili that I make on probably a weekly basis.

I would, and at the price, can afford to eat this companies food on a regular basis instead of just having a pantry of food I was not used to eating.

This is pretty important because a common saying in the prepper world is “store what you eat and eat what you store.”  I know I believe that, and I say it often.

However, life intervenes and that is not always easy to do.  Valley food storage does make that a little easier.

Ask 10 Preppers their food storage plans (how rude….) and you will get 11 answers.

I know that besides what is the best prepper firearm, what is the best way to store food is probably the hottest topic.

Well, today I am going to talk about my Cheap Food Storage Plan and why it is best for my family’s situation.

I needed something that was shelf stable long term as I am not panic buying because I believe a disaster will come next week – but rather I am hedging my bets just in case.

Additionally, I needed something easy to store so it did not get overly confusing to my wife

Also, I needed something cheap – because in a fight between might need later and need diapers now – diapers win…

I did not need to worry about:

  • Food that was particularly easy to cook
  • Compact size
  • Food allergies
  • Low water/pre-cooked

This narrowed down my search, and once I determined my food storage strategy, I was able to spend some time finding cheaper sources of supply.
