Buy in Bulk!
Stock up on things that you know you use. One thing that I always stock up on when it is on sale is meat. One thing to consider in buying items, like meat, in bulk, is how to best store them. You want to make sure what you are storing is going to be good for as long as possible. There are many options out there to package goods in an airtight containers (which is especially helpful when freezing).
- The FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer System
- Reynold Handi Vac (This is what I use and I was able to get the special bags for only $1 a box on sale!)
- Ziploc Vacuum Freezer System
Also, take advantage of case lot sales. It is a fantastic way to stock up on foods for your three month supply. Harmons is currently having their case lot sale...most others will have theirs in February.

So, can you buy the Reynolds and Ziploc systems in most major supermarkets?
Suzanne, that is a great question. Yes, the Reynolds and Ziploc systems can be purchased and most major supermarkets and I have seen many coupons for them as well. Search for coupons on the internet and see what you can come up with.
