How To Create A Food Storage Supply For $5 Per Week

Each of the items on the list doesn’t require more than $5 per week
and they will last for a while.

The trick for achieving such an impressive result lies in rationing
your acquisitions according to the list of purchases we suggest you
follow to the letter over the next year.

This should be enough to sustain two people for one year. For every
two people in your family add $5.00 more and double or triple the
amount of the item you are buying that week.

Definitely out of date.

I don't know what those recurring purchases of 20 lbs of sugar were
about but I recently bought 2 4lb sacks of the cheapest stuff on the
shelf and it kicked the hell out of a five dollar bill. I have yet to
figure how a calliope hummingbird that goes three grams soaking wet can
suck down so much sugar.

Flap your arms real fast until they make a humming sound and you will
figure it out. <grin>

You can use the sugar with water and yeast to ferment mash in about 3
weeks.

20 lbs to 10 gal of water. It will yield about a gallon of 180 proof if
you have a decent still setup.

Quick still - get large pot and a wok. Put a clean empty can from
fruit or veg in the center of the pot. Fill the pot with your mash up
to about 3/4 the height of the can. Put the wok in top of the large pan
like lid, with the convex area down in the pan. Bring the mash up to 176
degrees and the alcohol will steam from the mash, hit the wok and drip
to the center into your empty can. This is good fuel. The first 4 ounces
are methanol and can poison you so don't drink it. Use it for fuel or
mix it with gas and make E85. Each batch, the first 4 ounces is poison.
It is the best disinfectant at that high proof.
