Since I suggested sugar as the food storage item of the week, I wanted to find out exactly how much sugar my family would need to equal a years supply. I went to the Food Storage Calculator HERE. I entered in the numbers for my family, and it says we need 260 lbs a sugar if we want a years supply. That is equal to 52 – 5 lb bags of sugar. YIKES! That is a lot of sugar, there is no way I could buy all that sugar at once, especially if it wasn’t on sale.
When you use this calculator, it can be a little depressing when you realize you have no where near what you need to have. If you make a goal to add a little each week, before you know it you will be making progress. I plan on stocking up on as much sugar as I can this week, at the end of the week I will let you know how I do.
