The first thing you need to do before beginning your food storage is to assess your needs. Your family may be large or small. Perhaps you are the only member of your family. Regardless, you need to know what and how much you should store. The following calculator will help give you an idea.

It's important to remember that most of the recommendations you receive are just that... recommendations. In the end you need to decide how you will incorporate the recommended foods into your storage plan. For instance, all the children in our family are lactose intolerant. It doesn't make sense for us to store dry milk. Instead we store soybeans which we use to make soymilk.
I will also point out that the families who are most successful in obtaining a year supply are those who store what they eat. In other words, they keep a rotating food storage.
