How to prep pantry for a Disaster or Power outage

(posted on FB9-12-18)
Please pray for family, friends and everyone in NC/SC. This is looking bad. Here in Ohio, there is nothing we can do for prep but we can help in the aftermath by donating.

I have been seeing a lot of posts of the WW site regarding what to eat so i got to making a list that i think would use if i was in this situation and some might be good if anyone lost power.
Water bottles with flavor drops esp for the kiddos. Also fill up milk jugs full of water! And fill up your bathtub with water incase you have to use the toilet (to flush) or to wash clothing stains that need immediate attention, etc.

We are tent campers so i am used to 4 days with no electricity.
We have a Coleman propane camp stove, i would pull out that puppy.
A cooler of just ice, that will last 2 to 3 days if you don't keep opening it.
A cooler and fill with LF slice cheese,FF lunch meat, string cheese, eggs in a carton, grapes, strawberries, cut up watermelon. All of these do well in the cooler for 3 to 4 days.
In a pantry box, i would have
-PB2,
- aldi fit and active preserves 1 pt,
-flatout wraps cut in half to give you more and small soft tortilla shells. They hold up and last longer than bread. 2 to 3pts
-aldi fit and active tuna kits 4pts
-baked bbq chips 4pts
- can veggies and fruit cups, applesauce
- peppers and onions
- bags of apples and oranges
- can chicken breast with taco seasoning
- jar marinara sauce and fit and active pasta 6pts
- shells and cheese for kids, half c 9ts if you have some
-sugar free jello cups, last longer in cooler than pudding.
-protein one bars 2pts
-special k berry cereal 1 c 4pts i like it dry.
- white popcorn 35 cal bag at walmart 2pts
- turkey pepperoni, after you open it can go in cooler
- banana boats, wrap in foil slice banana with mini chocolate chips and mini marshmallows 3pts, put on camp stove to heat.
- LF chocolate graham crackers 1 pt ea square, freeze cool whip on it, and put in cool whip in cooler to dip fruit for 1 pt
Hope this gives you some ideas. If you know this can help someone, copy text and fill free to share.
