I've been trying to stock our pantry and get at least a 3 month supply going. Which has been hard because I didn't know where to really start or how much of what we needed. So I found this great site that creates an excel sheet for your individual circumstance. Go to
Food Storage Made Easy and click on 3 Month Food Supply Excel Worksheet. You can customize it by how large your family is, how many months you want to store and how much you already have. Its a great place to start with, I now know I have
plenty of pasta but need more of other things.
Then the other thing I've been wondering is if Costco is really cheaper than shopping sales and couponing. So I found this other site
Queen Bee Coupons and she has made a Costco price list for Washington state (
click here for hers). I became OCD and went to Costco and created my own list to share with all of you. (
click here for mine) My prices were taken at the Mesa, Az Costco on January 17, 2011 if you find that a price has changed or want me to add something on to it let me know.
I hope that this information is helpful :)
Costco has some really great food storage! Thanks for the info.My sister-in-law and I checked out their prices and found it was better/easier to go with Mountain House. However, they had really great bins of honey (which I don't think ever go old) and we really liked their milk.

So Michelle , was it your opinion that Costco is better priced than local grocery and coupon clipping?
ReplyDeleteKathi I don't know if Costco is better or not thats why I made this list. I want to compare things that are on sale or I have a coupon to what they cost at Costco. Costco for sure has better quality items.
