Hi Sisters! I have a few stores that I wanted to mention this week that has some great prices. Remember as you are building your storage up or just trying to stretch your dollars, first check the ads, always make a list, and take inventory of your goods! Ask yourself what's on sale this week that I can add to my storage? Gather your coupons up too! This will help cut costs. You can get coupons from your Sunday paper(s) or print them online. A trick for added savings on your grocery budget is to buy an additional paper. Here's how to do it for next to nothing. Visit the Grocery Guru's site to find his link to buy an E-Edition for .03 per day with Sunday Delivery. Look under Subscription deals. Instead of having one Sunday paper, you'll get TWO and that means DOUBLE coupons and that means DOUBLE SAVINGS! Over the year, you'll save a tremendous amount of moo-la. I've already saved over $1,200 on coupons and sales just at Smith's store alone--and the year isn't over yet!
World Market - WARNING! Put blinders on when you go into this store, it will suck you in! Go in there with a mission. Meaning get in, get out--and fast--before you do some damage!
Olive Oil is on sale. 2 Liters for only $7.99. It's such a great buy, and it sells out quickly. I recommend to take advantage of this sale and add this item to your storage.

2 cans (about 15 oz each) cannellini* beans, rinsed and drained (these are white italian kidney beans or navy beans)
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes* in juice
1⁄2 cup chopped parsley* (fresh or dried)
1⁄4 cup grated Parmesan

For some years as a younger mom and wife, I felt very overwhelmed with the thought of creating a food storage. I wanted to obey the counsel of the First Presidency and I knew first handedly that life could throw some curve balls. Not long after we moved to Utah, I recall a very strong prompting by the Spirit, directing to me to create a food storage that would not only help our family to weather what ever storm that should come, but provide a nurturing stability and comfort for our family. I wondered how I was to do this task. I visited the Provident Living website for tips and I also prayed for guidance. The answer was made plain to me as I read it from the Family Home Storage Pamphlet.
It simply said:
"THREE-MONTH SUPPLY
Build a small supply of food that is part of your
normal, daily diet. One way to do this is to purchase a
few extra items each week to build a one-week supply
of food. Then you can gradually increase your supply
until it is sufficient for three months. These items
should be rotated regularly to avoid spoilage."
If you recall the story of Nephi in the wilderness, when Nephi's family came upon the land of Bountiful by the sea, they were so grateful to be there. It was not long after their arrival that the Lord commanded Nephi to build a ship. Nephi wondered, "Lord, whither shall I go to find ore to molten, that I might make tools to construct the ship after the manner which thou hast shown unto me?" (1 Nephi 17:9) The Lord then showed Nephi where to find ore.
I knew I needed to have the same faith as Nephi. I prayed how was I to build a storage with an already tight grocery budget and how was I to buy extras when it was crucial to stay within our means? The Lord knew very well of my concerns. I soon thereafter began to search the grocery ads for items that were on sale and that I could buy in multiples. I also started finding and adding coupons for those items to purchase, and it really helped cut our costs. Just as Nephi was shown where to find ore to build his ship, the Lord also guided me how to find "ore" to build my storage.
Some of you may be well on your way with your food storage and need no advice or direction from me. On the other hand, there may be a few of you out there that need a little help. Let me know how I can help- that's what I am here for. Each week that I post here, I will share with you deals I find and keep you informed.
The first step is to look at the ads, create a list, and take inventory of your storage. Buy items that you think or you see yourself actually using. Also ask yourself, if you or spouse were to loose your job, would you mind using a brand that is different that what you usually use? Just something to keep in mind. :)

Tuna Cakes
Have you included cans of tuna in your food storage? I'll be the first to say I'm not extremely crazy about tuna fish sandwiches or tuna casserole, but I DO have my cans of tuna in my storage! Not too long ago, I found a recipe for tuna that I thought to be different. This recipe has been tried and tested, and I declare it's a winner!
Ingredients:
2 cans (6 oz. each) light tuna in water, drained and flaked.
1 pkg. Stove Top Stuffing mix for Chicken
1/2 cup of shredded mild cheddar cheese
1/2 cup of shredded carrots
1/3 cup of light or fat free mayonaise
2 Tbsp. Sweet Pickle relish
3/4 cup water
Directions:
1.) Mix tuna, stuffing mix, cheese, carrots, dressing, relish and water in a bowl.
1.) Mix tuna, stuffing mix, cheese, carrots, dressing, relish and water in a bowl.
2.) Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
3.) Heat a large non-stick skillet and spray with cooking spray on medium heat. Scoop tuna mixture, using about a 1/3 cup for each cake and pat it into a patty.
4.) Cook 3 minutes on each side and until they are golden on each side. Turn the cakes carefully.
Serve cakes with a side of vegetables, rice or salad. ENJOY!
**No tuna for you?? Try canned chicken instead!
