Food storage and efoods

Several days ago, my friend from Colorado sent me  a recent article by Flylady.net. I thought it was such a great idea, I just had to share it with others. Here’s what she had to say about making pantry space for food storage:

Even if you have no pantry space, you can easily make pantry space out of almost anything–like the linen closet. What do you do with the linens? Here’s where you need to declutter. First, only two sets of sheets per bed. Why should we store several sets of sheets anyway? That’s crazy. They never get all used. You will have one set obviously on the beds, put the other set (folded very spare and flat) and store it in-between the mattress and box spring. The case of too many sheets solved!

After reading her idea, I quickly gathered up all my sheets, put the best between my mattres/box spring and saved the rest in my sewing box for making quilts. So now I can use my linen closet for the extra food that doesn’t fit in my kitchen cupboards.

We will be getting our first efoods order soon. At first I was a bit hesitant to join efoods because I wasn’t too trilled about their product line. The prepackaged meals are items we would never buy at the store. The only real reason we are investing in these packaged foods is because of their storage life. The meals last about 15 years. You just can’t find any foods that will provide nutrients after 15 yrs. at your local grocery store. We do have things like nutritional supplements, coconut oil (10 year shelf life), grains, lentils and beans in our reserves but if something actually happens someday, we may get pretty tired of only eating sprouts made from our grains. So by adding a few orders of efoods we will have a bit more variety and I don’t have to worry about shelf-life. If you are interested, check out efoods here: efoods global
