I prepped courtesy of the Govt without trying.

I have been hesitant to post this before but single mom here with no budget for food at all. They say I do not qualify for anything because I work two jobs to pay the inflated rents. So I was forced to go to the food bank.
I had no idea most are funded and supplied by the USDA. And we get mucho cases of food each week.
To date ( and this is after eating only this food too all since November with kids) this is my stash.
I have eight cases of beans (24 cans)
5 cases of peanut butter
10 cases of canned fruit
40 lbs of assorted dried beans.
A case of powered milk.
A case of instant potatoes industrial size.
About 300 lbs of meat enough for three freezers anyways.
5 cases of macaroni cheese.
20 lbs of butter.
50 lbs of pet smart dog food I don't need more but could have had 150lbs by now.
A case of spaghetti sauce.
Case of tomato m cans
50 lbs of rice.
55 lbs of pasta.
Two cases each of large size tuna, chicken and salmon.
One case of canned ham.
3 cases of carrots.
Two cases of corn
One case of beef stew.
One case of corned beef hash.
One case of tomato soup.
One case of dried prunes
A case of brownie mix.
Two cases of rolled oats
3 cases of raisins
And enough fresh vegetables to plant for a large garden, I have sweet potatoes growing already.
I'm still going each week for the milk and eggs and I am planning to have enough food to share and barter if things get worse .I sleep better knowing I do have food prepped. Hope this helps someone else. It's your tax dollars don't feel bad .
