Q. What's the Number One Question I Am Asked About Food Storage?

A. WHERE DO I START?

Every party I have given in the last 16 months I have gotten this question. Do you think I have one universal answer to it? Do ya, well do ya? No. I don't. I always say to start with the 'basics' (whatever that means because it's very subjective, fudge brownies being a basic necessity to me). But NOW, haleluia, I have the universal right one single answer! 3 months on 'Smart Start' for the Q is THE place to begin... and here is why:

The THRIVE Smart Start Pack consists of three packages. Each package includes either 16 or 17 pantry cans of THRIVE foods and four pouches of THRIVE Express. The first package also includes the THRIVE Smart Start pack recipe booklet (with 26 recipes, 3 monthly meal planners, and 3 monthly shopping cards) and the THRIVE Smart Start flyer. We ship one package per month for a total of three packages over three months.

The Thrive Smart Start Pack is a combination of our new entrees with other pantry-size thrive foods in combinations to make recipes. There are 3 packs that you put in your Q one month at a time. Each month you will receive a "Smart Pack" with recipes for that pack.

PS. I am not a doomsday Prepper. I'm just a mom/grandma who has provided meals for my family for 40+ years and I never want to see a bare pantry and hungry eyes on the faces of those I love.

We Still Be So Lucky but Not for Long

Record low prices on these cases ending on Thursday! IT'S ALL OVER NOW

This great package deal for meats and cheeses(SEE MY PREVIOUS POST) has had such an overwhelmingly positive response that Shelf Reliance has had to change the date that it ends. Instead of the 17th of March, it will be ending THIS WEEK, on Thursday March 8th. They did this to ensure there would be enough supply to meet the demand. The demand being way beyond what they had expected! (That's partly because all the consultants are ordering these packages for themselves ;)

I've already helped a lot of you get the cases you want.
Maybe some don't realize how quickly things can happen where you would totally need this. I'm not going to recap this weeks natural disasters for you.

You all know better. Boy Scouts got it right long ago. BE PREPARED!

You can only get this sale price by calling me up and ordering on the phone. Sorry. Those are the rules. Leave a comment if you want this package, with your email. I'll send you my phone number and we'll get you fixed up!

I'll be doing another post next week when I'm back to feeling 100% again.
