Some deals April 1 - 7

Alrighty...Smith's case lot sale!

18oz. Skippy Peanut Butter...$1.25
(shelf life 2 years, should store 4 jars per person)

20oz. Geisha Pineapple...$0.99
(shelf life 2 years, should store 36-52 cans per family)

10oz. VF chunk canned chicken...$1.89
(shelf life 2 years, should store 5+ cans per person)

these are a few at Smith's, but there are many more. Depending on what your family likes to eat. These are just some of the Food Storage items I find an easier priority. Peanut Butter is a great storage item...especially for kiddos. The canned chicken is good because it seems hard to get enough protein stored. My kids eat it better than tuna. (and it seems like canned chicken can be used in many meals)

Albertson's has...

18oz. Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce...10/$10

4lbs. SV sugar...$1.39
(and the shelf life of sugar is indefinite, should store 65 lbs. per person...cowsers!)

1 lb. Imperial margarine...$.049 (you can freeze butter for a year!)

this BBQ sauce is just tasty, and most people agree. Sugar is a great thing to start storing. Even starting one $1.39 bag at a time...it will start adding up!

Macey's has meat on a great sale...

B/S less chicken breasts... $1.59 per lb.

B/S less pork chops... $1.99 per lb.

Whole boneless ham... $1.49 per lb.

Jennie-O (bone-in) turkey breasts... $1.39 per lb.

I rarely make it to three stores in one week, so remember Wal-Mart will match all these prices (except the Smith's case lot items, Kroger brands)

These prices are all good until April 7th...and remember to get 'rain checks' if they run out :)
Good luck!

To get us going...

Alrighty...it looks like enough people are interested in doing this...yeah!

I will send an invite to anyone who expressed interest. The invite comes from Blogger, so look for it in your junk mail if you don't see it. It should walk you through anything you need to become an author on this blog. If I don't have your email address, notify me at...gatheringgrub.hotmail.com...then I will send you an invite.

For those of you who are not fans of blogging, or don't want to become a blogger...email me anything you want posted. I set up an email account...gatheringgrub@hotmail.com...(that's 2 g's) I'll post what you send, and put your name at the bottom. Just be patient, it may take a day or two. Sound good?

The invites are only if you want to be an author. It will be a public site, so you will not need an invite to read posts and snoop around. But, please think about posting :)

So for example, a post could be as little as...


Hey all you locals! Smith's is starting their case lot sale April 1st!

Simple enough. Regardless of food storage, we can share bargains and sale items to stretch our dollars a bit further.

I would love if everyone would contribute, it doesn't have to be anything fantastic, or even anything you've done yourself! It can be something you've heard from someone, or your relatives do, etc.

Also, don't be afraid to ask any questions. I will not be the one to know all the answers, but between ALL of us, someone may know, or be able to find out. No contribution or question is too insignificant.

I, for one, would love to get some recipes so I can better rotate some of the things I have. I am struggling to get water storage, and I also need ideas on storing food in small spaces. I'd love to know about great grocery sales, so I can buy extra things to put into storage.

I would love to see pictures and stories of everyone's struggles and accomplishments. None of us are perfect at this. So if you've started gathering food storage, or if you haven't been able to start yet...please don't hesitate to share!

Thanks to all, I'm excited to get more ideas! I think we can help and support each other in this struggling economy and the overwhelming project of Food Storage!
