Start building up your year supply weekly by buying one item each week.  This week's Build Your Food Storage is 6 lbs. salt.  Just FYI, I buy most of my bulk items at Costco.  Love them!  You'll also want to find yourself a large binder so you can organize all your printed recipes and make notes as you continue storing...  Hope that helps!  *B
