October is a great month to stock up on certain foods as many items go on sale during this season.

It’s always a good idea to shop for foods when they are in season, as they are not only fresher but also more budget-friendly.

Here are some foods to consider adding to your shopping list this October:

Pumpkins: This is the perfect time to stock up on pumpkins, as they are in season and readily available. You can use them to make pumpkin pies, pumpkin soups, or even roasted pumpkin dishes.

Apples: With apple season in full swing, you can find a variety of apples at your local grocery store. Apples are not only delicious but also loaded with fiber, making them a great snack option.

Sweet potatoes: Another fall favorite, sweet potatoes are packed with vitamins and nutrients. They can be roasted, mashed, or even used in soups and stews.

Squash: From butternut squash to acorn squash, there are many varieties to choose from in October. Squash is low in calories and high in fiber, making it a healthy addition to your diet.

Brussels sprouts: Often overlooked, Brussels sprouts are a nutritious and versatile vegetable. You can roast them, sauté them, or even add them to salads.

Let’s talk about Freeze-Dried Food!

I often get asked about freeze-dried food storage. Swipe through the photos to learn more about this type of food storage!

Freeze-dried food is an excellent option for long-term food storage. Here are ten reasons why:

1. Shelf life: Freeze-dried food has an incredibly long shelf life, often up to 25 years or more. This makes it a great option for emergency preparedness or long-term storage.

2. Nutritional value: Freeze-drying preserves the nutritional value of food much better than other preservation methods such as canning or dehydrating. This means that you can have a well-balanced diet during an emergency situation.

3. Lightweight: Freeze-dried food is incredibly lightweight, making it easy to transport and store. This is especially important if you need to evacuate quickly or if you need to carry your supplies with you.

4. Space-saving: Because freeze-dried food is lightweight and compact, it takes up very little space. This makes it a great option for those with limited storage space.

5. Easy to prepare: Freeze-dried food is incredibly easy to prepare. All you need to do is add hot water, and the food will rehydrate in a matter of minutes.

6. Versatile: Freeze-dried food comes in a wide variety of options, from fruits and vegetables to meats and grains. This means that you can have a well-rounded and varied diet even in an emergency situation.

7. Cost-effective: While the upfront cost of freeze-dried food may be higher than other options, the long shelf life and ease of preparation make it a cost-effective option in the long run.

8. Reliable: Unlike other food preservation methods, freeze-drying is a very reliable method that preserves the food's quality and nutritional value for many years.

9. Convenient: Freeze-dried food is incredibly convenient. It can be stored for long periods of time and can be easily transported and prepared in any situation.

10. Great taste: Freeze-dried food typically retains its flavor much better than other preservation methods. This means that you can enjoy delicious and nutritious meals even in an emergency situation.

Why am I talking about Food Storage on social medi

Why am I talking about Food Storage on social media?

Hi friends! And welcome to my page @foodstoragemama — My name is Brittany. I am a mother of five, my husband & I live in Southern California with 4 of our 5 kids. Our oldest daughter is currently living in Toronto 🇨🇦.

I am so happy to have found my account, here is a little more about my story ⬇️

I have lived through experiences where my husband and I relied on our food storage to keep food on the table while we experienced a financial crisis.

I know what it is like to NEED your food storage.

Preparing for possible future emergencies by stocking up food storage AND actually being in those circumstances are very different experiences.

When I first started talking about food storage on this page, I REALLY didn't want to open up about our story. Truthfully I was embarrassed that we had experienced food scarcity.

I know what it feels like to need to use your food storage because you can't afford groceries.

I know what it feels like to apply for food stamps because money is so tight you can’t make ends meet.

I know what it is like to work odd jobs at night or to clean houses so that we could afford to buy food.

I have realized through sharing these challenging parts of my story, that I can better connect and understand other people's various circumstances.

I am passionate about food storage because I understand its true value and the peace it brings.

I have created a FREE GUIDE to assist you in working towards your food storage goals.

I have also built a website that has tons of FREE resources and that will continue to have more free resources added to the site.
