Survival Grocery Lists-Comprehensive/Long Lists

NOTE: This list is from waaaaaayyyy back in 2006, during all the planning for a possible Bird Flu Pandemic. I have the list, but for the life of me can't find the original source. It's such a big list, I'm posting it anyway. It would be a shame to loose it! -rm

Pandemc Survival grocery List

We take the grocery store for granted. In the event of a run on the stores, just think how very few frightened shoppers that it would take for your neighborhood grocery to run out of a product like rice or canned tomatoes. A few determined families could take most of it! The stores could be stripped bare in minutes.

We made our list based on shelf life, availability, and price. We then researched recipes to find the products most commonly used. Cross-off what you or your kids dislike. Be cautious of big sizes of perishables, since waste will quickly nullify any savings. Some items have a long shelf life, but must be used quickly after opening.

This list is comprised of storage foods, those that can be stored for many months or even for years. Check expiration dates, you'll find items on the same shelf can vary as to dates. And please..don't buy only "dry milk and tuna", as some government officials have suggested. Both of these items are common allergens, and allergies can develop when some foods are eaten to excess. Besides, your family would hate you!

This list probably contains some items that you usually try to avoid. A lady checking me out in the grocery store noticed that I was buying a lot of sugar and flour (on sale for a good price). She haughtily informed me her children do not eat sugar, or much flour. I asked her what her kids would eat if the food supply were interrupted, like in hurricane Katrina. She said they would eat fresh vegetables. I wonder where she thought the fresh vegetables would come from?

Try to "rotate" a decent supply of food and still always have plenty on hand in case of an emergency. Many of these items have a very long shelf life, and can be used strictly as emergency storage. This list is designed for some variety, so that the kids and teens in our "pod" don't meltdown from boredom. No one can tell you how much to buy, but try to work your way toward a three month supply.

Of course, you probably won't go out and buy all of this. Realistically, if you had to, you could purchase only bulk size bags of rice, dried beans, shortening, possibly corn, along with some source of Vitamin C, and you could last a very long time for very little money. Be sure you have your water purifier and basic food first, but better food (and some games) will be a real help in an extended "lock-down".

Note: The poultry in U.S. stores right now is perfectly safe.
