Buying Food in Bulk Saves Money and Provides Food Storage to Prepare for Emergencies

Salt Lake City, Utah -- Many people would like to have a supply of food on hand in case of emergencies or disasters, but they need food storage help and a way to save money if they are going to achieve that goal.

Buying food in bulk and storing it serves two purposes, according to Jeff Augason of http://www.FoodStorageIdeas.com a web site that offers disaster and emergency food storage help.

“Food is less expensive when purchased in larger quantities. We teach people to buy the foods they need and use on a regular basis, but they should buy in larger quantities to save money. Eventually by using this method of shopping, they can build up a good supply of food that they can rely on if disaster strikes,” said Augason.

Disasters from extreme weather, emergencies caused by power outages and other problems, as well as the concern about terrorism have many Americans looking for food storage and emergency preparedness help and information.

Past disasters have illustrated the need to have plenty of supplies stored at home. It may be days before evacuations take place or help can arrive, and if large numbers of people are evacuated there might not be enough food at the shelters. The solution is for people to be self-sufficient, according to Augason.

"Most of the complaints from the hurricane Katrina evacuees centered around the long delay before they were evacuated, and the lack of food and supplies at the shelters. We need to prepare in advance so that if disaster strikes we will not be waiting in long lines of angry people for the government to feed us," said Augason.
