One of the best things you can do for the sake of your own self reliance is to build up your home food storage. Your home food storage can tide you over in the event of a financial setback, or be part of your efforts for emergency preparedness. Unfortunately, many people think of stockpiling when they consider home food storage.

Many people have the false belief that organic foods are a luxury that only a select few can afford. While organic foods are more expensive than non-organic foods, they can be more affordable than you might realize.

Healthy food gets a bad rap for being expensive, but it doesn’t have to break your budget. I use it often to stretch soups and casseroles. Try using broth instead of water. You can also throw in some herbs to go with the type of cuisine you’re making it with. Add some rice. It’s a great filler!
