How Prepared is the Average Latter-day Saint Ward?
Inevitably, each year in the weeks preceding the <a href="http://www.mormon.org">LDS</a> General Conference sessions in April and October grocery stores in Utah begin their Case Lot sales. In case you aren't familiar with the term, a Case Lot sale is a sale that allows you to purchase food (and other) items at a discount from a regular grocery store. The only catch is that you need to buy them a case at a time.
Looking back on my list of things that I've "meant to blog" for a long time, I found a link I needed to share. A friend of mine, and longtime follower of this blog, Erin McNew wrote an article for Yahoo's associated content site about food storage. I will of course take this chance to tease her for cheating on me, and posting to a different site, especially one that won't allow for me to repost the content. However I may tease though, It's a great article written to explain to people how storing food is a sensible way to save money. Something that most "preppers" understand, especially people usually interested in this blog. However oftentimes people who wouldn't normally figure themselves to be preppers, can still at least get back to some of the basics of previous generations.
Our currant bushes finally put on enough currants this year that the kids couldn't keep up with eating them all, so we had currants left to make some currant jelly.

I bought quite a few cans and have used most of them over the years. However, I only have two recipes I regularly make that call for evaporated milk, and one that calls for sweetened condensed milk, so I did not use every can I purchased before they expired. <!--more-->

One of my garden experiments this year was growing dry beans. Most of the "survival seed" packs have a variety of beans in them. I had five different kinds of dry bean seeds in addition to my usual favorite green bean varieties, so had plenty of beans growing in the garden this year. The dry bean varieties I planted were Calypso, Jacob's Gold Cattle Bean, Jacob's Cattle Bean, Black Valentine, and Mayflower. I also planted Blue Lake Bush Beans and Royalty Purple Pod Beans just for eating.<!--more-->
