Cheaper than you think

A basic one year supply of food is cheaper than you think. Don't believe me - I'll prove it.

300 lbs. Grain @ $5.90 per 25 lb. bag x 12 = $70.80
60 lbs. Legumes @ $14.45 per 25 lb. bag + $8.50 (2 #10 Cans) = $37.40
20 lbs. Oil @ $2.00 per 48oz. bottle x 8 = $16*
60.5 lbs. Sugar @$13.20 per 25 lb. bag x 2 + $8.90 (2 #10 Cans) = $35.30**
50 lbs. Milk @ $24.80 per 25 lb. bag x 2 = $49.60

Basic One Year Supply = $209.10

Granted this is Basics and there is no variety, but that is an amazing start! You can do this. Christmas is coming, what better gift.

*Crisco 48 oz. bottles are on sale at Walmart right now for $2.00
**During case lot sales you can generally get a 25 lb. bag of Sugar for around $10, so you could get 75 lbs. for $30.
(All prices, except Oil are from the Church Cannery)
