This is what we eat.

Late last year, we began our food storage. We began by dropping into Welfare Square in downtown Salt Lake City to pack dry goods. We packed beans, rice, hot cocoa, soup mix, potato pearls, and dried apple peels. Later, we picked up 600 lbs of red and white wheat, packed the mass into air locked mylar bags and water proof buckets, and proceeded to hide it in assorted locations around our humble 900 sq/ft apartment. Wheat can be found under the sink behind the garberator, in the hall closet above the blankets and behind the DVDs, behind my study chair, and in the laundry room... Ironically, none of our food storage is under the bed; that space is reserved for Brittany's fabric.

Man does not live by bread alone, however, and so we have begun to stock other items of a less than necessary nature...the things we actually eat. To that end, we've begun to by extra cans of garbanzo beans (for hummus), bottles of Arriba! (for dipping and for nachos, an after work/school staple), and Fruit Bars (no, they won't last more than a couple hours if the big one hits and the power goes out, but when it's 90 degrees outside, they sure do cool things down.

The great part of these purchases is that we got them all on HUGE discount. Britt is becoming something of a closet deal hunter, finding things for a half, a third, or a tenth off full price. Why else would our freezer have more popsicles in it than frozen chicken, vegetables, or anything else for that matter?
