For the month of March, the long-term food storage item we are adding to our year supply is beans. There are so many kinds of beans you can buy in either dry or canned form.
For our 72-hour kits this week, we are adding small forms of entertainment, such as Sudoku puzzles, crosswords, books, pens, pencils, etc. If you have kids, add things like crayons and coloring books, stickers, etc. This is not essential to survival, but it may make time pass a little quicker. In an emergency, we most likely will not have the comfort of TV or internet. You may even consider putting a deck of cards or something the family can do together.
How's your 3-month supply coming? Like I mentioned last week, we might be moving in a month or two, so we're trying to work through our supply a little more than usual. Make sure you keep an eye on expiration dates, too. This week I noticed a Hamburger Helper that was about to expire. If you incorporate you food storage into your daily meals, you won't be wasting any money. If you don't ever use it and it goes bad, you've not only wasted money, but you lose that portion of preparedness.
