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!

Love these ideas. I too would love to know when things are on sale so I can grab a few extras. I'll also email you an easy 72 hour kit list that the good ole 7th ward did (were you still in the ward then, maybe you and Mike even put it together).
