It was such a good article and some good advice from Dean’s comment I thought to re-post it here. I think we should start discussing more on the topic of eating more frugally as well as foraging for food and even get into water procurement…Those are the most essential preps for survival, and if you’ve got that down, you have covered over 75% of your survival needs. Some good sound advice for cutting expenses at home as well as bug out survival.
Be sure to stop in at the prepper book for more articles like this…there are several on both food and water.
INSTANT SURVIVAL TIP: Store What You Eat

Hard-core survivalists could probably get by long-term on a diet of rice and beans, but I know my family would revolt after a day! In an emergency situation, your family will be stressed out enough without, suddenly, being subjected to strange, unknown foods. Comfort foods are called, “comfort foods” for a reason!
My own kids are at their most stubborn when I try to get them to eat something “weird.” Now is the time to begin moving your family’s taste buds toward what is in your long-term food storage.
Here are a few tips to help guide your family toward eating what you have stored.
* Continue stocking up on what your family already eats and enjoys.
* Add basics, such as beans, rice, and wheat in bulk.
* Research new recipes using these bulk ingredients, and introduce a new recipe every week or two.
* Focus on vegetarian recipes, since meat may become very expensive and/or scarce.
* Keep only the recipes that receive a high approval rating!
As time goes on, your family’s appetites will broaden to include meals using the staples you have purchased in bulk, and so will your recipe repertoire. You’ll have a great Survival Recipe Book for now and into the future.

Just my random thought’s here.I keep seeing everyone advocate rice,bean’s and wheat.It remind’s me of the line in “Apocalypse Now”,”Charlie’s in the jungle eating cold rice and rat meat”.
First,you need a flour mill.Then you need to haul it all around,if you bug out.
Then you need the other stuff,sugar,yeast,etc.
Sure,you can live on rice and bean’s,but I’m sure it would get old fast,so how do you whip up a decent comfort food?
Easy! Maybe add some powdered soup to the rice,or a can of cream of something.Make a chicken and rice soup!Mushroom and rice,whatever! Just some chicken bouillion and some mixed veggie’s with rice will make a decent meal.

That’s some good advice Dean. When it comes to bugging out, if you’re packing beans and rice along and if you know how to forage, you can find those mushrooms to add, even a little quail meat to the mix would be nice.
