If you follow my blog, you know I’m a huge fan of buying in bulk to quickly build your food storage to maximize your food for a minimum of money. However, not everyone has that as an option. Some folks only have a small amount each week to devote to their food storage.

Spurred on by a recent Facebook post about how to build your food storage using $5 a week using processed foods, I decided to make a similar list for $10 a week and the real foodie, updated to today’s food costs. I will do several variations on this theme, including multiple diets such as real food, GFCF real food, paleo and the like. Today we’ll look at a paleo. Check back for a $10 a week list for a different diet.

The idea here is to dedicate $10 a week above and beyond your grocery budget, and set the food aside to be the basis of your family’s food storage program.

This method of building a food storage plan is the low-and-slow method.  However, it’s perfect for those on a tight budget who can’t free up more funds in their budget to do something quicker.

If you have any money left over each week, put it back in your envelope so it is available on the weeks that you go a little over $10. These prices are based on my resources, so your prices will likely vary. Having that little extra put back as a cushion can keep it from impacting your grocery budget.

If you have more than $10 a week to devote to food storage, or you’re serious about generating a whole-family plan for 3 or more months of food storage, consider my eBook Real Food Storage, or my multi-media class, Family Preparedness Plan. Both show you how to lay out a solid, long-term plan to meet the needs of your individual family, no matter what type of a real food diet you consume.

This list is based off of the spreadsheet that comes with the eBook and the multi-media class. We also have a podcast that you might find helpful.

 

NOTE: If you have funds left over at the end of the exercise, I would purchase more meat. And, of course, if you find a good sale on any of these items, go ahead and swap two of the weeks, to take advantage of the extra savings.  In fact, I would encourage you to print the whole list and just mark off one of the 52 weeks at a time, based off of what is on sale that week.  That will maximize your savings and the amount of food you can get for your money.

    This is MUCH more realistic than most food storage plans!

    So, the goal is to buy something each week and at the end of the year you have a food storage that lasts you how long? Can you explain a bit more on how to utilize this plan in actual real time? Thanks……
