Only 4 things for food storage?

4At church we had a class on being prepared. It was really interesting. The speaker had done a lot of research. She gave the history of food storage given by the prophets. Right now they recommend having at least a three month supply. If you can't do that right now, you will still benefit from a weeks supply. In the March Ensign there is an article "Family Home Storage: A New Message" President Hinkley said "We can begin ever so modestly. We can begin with a one week's food supply and gradually build it to a month, and then to three months."

The speaker also talked about the four things everyone should have in thier food storage. 1-Wheat 2- Honey 3- Salt 4-Milk. She said if you store them right they will never go bad.

I looked up Powdered Milk on-line. You can buy powdered milk in many containers. One I found sold it in 5 lb. buckets for $25.00 each. I called them to see how long the milk was good for. The customer service rep said that it doesn't go bad as long as you keep in out of sunlight and store it at room tempature. I haven't got around to checking out the others.

I might not be able to have a huge supply now but I can build up to it.
