Just throwing this out there to hopefully help get you ahead of the game. If there’no food stamps next month…..youll wnat to start preparing!
1. Rice, the ultimate side dish! I would suggest a 10/20 pound bag.
2. A sack of potatoes and onions can go very far. It’s kinda a meal itsself.
3. Flour, oil and a few packs of instant yeast can be used to make simple bread.
3. Canned vegetables, especially tomatoes that can be used to make soups.
4. Beans and Legumes, especially lentils prepared right can last for days!
5. A lot of y’all down on leg quarters but it’s a high quanity of meat, that can be spread over several meals.
6. Peanut butter and Jelly!
7. A couple loaves of bread: It can be stored in freezer.
8. Pasta and spaghetti sauce goes great with lentils for protein
9. Oatmeal versus boxed cereal.
10. Shelf stable milk versus fresh.
11. Canned meats like tuna, chicken and salmon
12. Frozen vegetables and fruit
Addendum: IF YOU NEED THE FOOD PANTRY START LOOKING NOW VERSUS NEXT MONTH WHEN THEY WILL BE OVERRUN.
