Build your food supply on budget by starting in spring to shop for vegetables on sale.
I started to build food supply in an attempt to have enough food on hand for the winter in case we cannot get to the store in winter due to severe weather.
There are many good reasons to have more than 3 days of food supply at home
- You save money by buying on sale
- We saved
- $966.43 in groceries in 2019 and spent $4,200.41 in groceries the whole year for our family of 5.
Our grocery budget was $375 in 2019 which included our food budget of $200 (Food, non-food, and kids essentials), fruit budget of $80, and meat budget of $95 for our family of 5.
How stock up on food on budget?
I purchased my vegetables on sale in summer when they are at their low price to store in my freezer.
I purchased meat on sale in summer and fall at their lowest price for year around use. Every month I budget to spend less than my full grocery budget on my staples and every week I shop ads for vegetables on sale. Vegetables and meat are on sale in summer and fall.
In winter I stock up grocery on budget by only stocking up on my grocery staples that don’t go on sale.
- You don’t run out of food and grocery staples
Having two to 3 months of food staples and cleaning supplies on hand is a good idea especially when you don’t have 3 months living expenses in cash on hand.
- It is easy to build 3 months of grocery supply on budget if you make it a habit and shop year around with that in mind.
- You can build your food supply on low budget
If you are on low budget it is easier to build your 3-month food supply than to save 3 months of your income as you could purchase the grocery staples on sale a little by little.

In severe weather or when people panic and stock up at the same time to be prepared for a severe weather or an outbreak like Corona virus outbreak, that could cause a food shortage in grocery stores. You stock up groceries on budget year around and use your supply on a daily basis. This would help you avoid food shortage in your house.
This summer be ready to start building your food supply on vegetables and meat.
Be safe because of the Corona virus outbreak. Build your grocery supply at home to have at least a month worth of grocery items you use regularly.
We might face shortage at the grocery store since we all are stocking up at the same time and stores usually carry up to 3 days of food supply. Further, many Chinese manufacturers are close delaying made in China goods to be imported.
