Just a guy trying to do the right thing by getting myself and my family prepared for an emergency, a catastrophe, or whatever may come. Still learning, but trying to document everything along the way.

Food Storage for Black Friday?

When you think of Black Friday shopping, I’m betting the last thing in the world that you think of shopping for is…Food Storage.  Hopefully, after reading this short blog post, I’ll help you’ll change your mind.  The odds of you and your family experiencing some type of disaster seem to be increasing every day. Whether it be financial problems to the uncertainty of what the future may have in store, you can no longer afford to put off preparing for the “what-ifs” that may come your way.

Let’s look at some headlines from the past few days.



Are you prepared?  What if you found yourself smack dab in the middle of one of the situations listed above?  

  • What would you do if you were in a town affected by the tornadoes?  The grocery stores are all closed. There is no clean water to drink.  No heat or electricity.   How do you plan to keep your family fed, or keep them warm? 
  • What if the economy takes a nose dive and your company if forced to lay you off?  Do you have a pantry full of shelf stable food that can sustain your family during the time you are looking for work?
The Good News…
It’s not too late to get prepared!  
I am in the same boat.  I am learning right along with you.  I spend a lot of time researching and trying to learn whatever I can to prepare my family.  The purpose of this website has always been to share the things that I learn along the way. 

Two things that I have learned about food storage…
  1. FOOD STORAGE IS EXPENSIVE!!!
  2. It is easy to become overwhelmed when thinking about starting to fill your food storage pantry!
This is where Thrive Life (formerly Shelf Reliance) comes in handy.  I have mentioned Thrive before, but I haven’t spent enough time talking about the Thrive Q In a nutshell, the Q is a tool that Thrive Life has provided that will allow you to break down the huge task of filling your pantry into an affordable, manageable task.  The Q is a way to Simplify life and build your own home grocery store with monthly food delivery.

  • You start by creating a list of items that you want to purchase. 
  • Next you set a monthly budget. 
  • After that, the Q tool will work its magic.  Each month you will receive your shipments of Thrive Life foods.  It truly is a “Set-it and Forget-it” solution.

It’s completely customizable— you decide the budget, and you choose what you want delivered.
Check it out.  I think you’ll quickly see the value of the Q tool.

There is still time to fill your pantry and to prepare your family for the hard times that will come.
Stay tuned for some pretty amazing Black Friday Deals from Thrive Life!

Whether you choose to purchase Thrive Food Storage or just some extra shelf stable foods at the grocery store, I challenge you to think twice this year about your Black Friday purchases.  Take this chance to save a little bit of that cash that you would have otherwise blown on Black Friday gadgets and gizmos and FILL THAT PANTRY instead!
