LivingAlmostLarge, if you wouldn't enjoy it, then could you try putting a few extra items into your cart on the next few shopping trips that would make it more enjoyable? Say, maybe a few packages of pudding mix, or jello, or canned fruit, or some chocolate bars or whatever ya'll consider a treat that is storable - something that would bring a bit of pleasure to your family if you were forced to eat out of the cupboards?
A few other suggestions for a family with children might be maybe some fruit juice concentrate, chocolate syrup for milk, koolaid, some hard candies, even the storage canister type of chips, etc.
That is what people who promote food storage suggest. Making what you have in your cupboards be something that you ENJOY eating.
Nope, those aren't all that healthy, but in a crunch time you want your family to be comfortable and not climbing the walls because they normally have a candybar a day and there's nothing remotely like that available!
