How to Use these Suggestions:
1. Decide on a weekly home storage budget.
2. Decide what you have time to gather/do.
3. Multiply amounts by # of family members. Adjust amounts for younger children,
    medical needs and food allergies. For instance, you could store half the amount of    
    breakfast cereal for a young child as an adult.
4. Adapt, adapt, adapt! These are only suggestions. Pick and choose what you want
    to work on. Change items to suit your family.
5. Each week look for store sales that match your goals.
6. Carry your list with you when you shop or put your goals on a cell phone/iPad notepad.
