Sensible Q People Needed

You know how I'm always talking blogging about the Q? The monthly shipping program which Shelf Reliance put into place for those of us who don't have that proverbial money tree growing in their backyard?

Well it really makes great sense! So I'm looking for 10 sensible people who would like to invest in something that can pay off in great dividends. My goal in the 12 days is to find you, the sensible ones and help you redirect some of your current food bill to the Q. How could this possibly be accomplished?

Easy peasy. Do you make impulse purchases each month (Big Gulp, Red Bull, Monsters, candy bars, ice cream etc.)? Do you throw away food(It's really amazing how much food gets plopped onto a little kids' plate that gets washed down the kitchen sink)(Portion control begins with toddlers!)? Do you eat fast food unnecessarily? (I know sometimes it's a life saver. But most times it's impulsive.) Can you identify and locate $25 per week that you could redirect towards THRIVE foods? I bet you can.

So here's what you do:
*You make a list of foods that are staples.


*You make a list of foods that you use often in your regular recipes:

*You make a list of foods you would NEED to comfort yourself in times of hardship.


List 1 will have things like flour, sugar, beans, wheat, milk, rice, salt, meat, eggs, water.
List 2 will have things like onions, peppers, ground beef, tomato products, bananas, pancake mix, butter, strawberries, boullion, celery, pasta, chicken, powdered drink mixes.
List 3 will have things like fudge brownie mix, mangoes, mushrooms, cheese, cherries, grapes, coconut macaroons, ice cream, chocolate drink.

The cool thing is that no matter what you put on your list or how much you put on it, YOU are in control of it on a monthly basis! Which means you can rearrange what is being sent each month. You can add or delete products on your list. You can pause or cancel your shipments after 90 days. You can even change your budget amount after 90 days! It's not a long term contract. Yay for the average American pocketbook!

So are there 10 of you reading this that are game? It's not a game really. It truly is serious. I've heard many stories of food storage getting people through hard & unexpected times. But there are at least 10 of you sensible enough to sit down and get serious yourself.

Those first 10 will be getting a gift from me as a thank you. Not sayin' what it is except something related to emergency preparedness. (Okay. I'm saying what it is! A free pantry can of 6 grain pancake mix. Yummmm!)

There are 12 days left in this month. It's leap year. Sensible people will know it's the right time to LEAP!
