Summary

Gathering a food supply can feel daunting if you think about getting everything you need at once. A monthly buying calendar breaks food storage into "month-size" pieces, allowing you to focus on purchasing what you can of the items of the month. At the end of the year you have some of everything you need.

Each new year start the buying calendar again. Over time you will be amazed to see how much food you acquire! (To learn how a buying calendar greatly blessed one family, see "Make food storage a priority this year.")

As you purchase the items listed each month, constantly pat yourself on the back for what you are buying. Always replenish what you use. By consistently following your calendar, you will reach your food storage goals sooner that you think!
