The first time I saw the stock up list, it was $3 a day!!
I have done it and sort of still do, but I add more soups and other canned meats besides tuna, such as ham, salmon, neat sticks and chicken. I also added rice, corn meal, oatmeal and various dried beans.
Then, I also buy fruits and veggies by the case if we have used up what we grew or to to supplement the garden. This list alone has no fruits or veggies, which is why the have the vitamens on the list.
I also saw this list in another publication where they added items to be bought, such as fishing license, line and hooks (no mention of a pole-was a basic list). I guess they figured you could supplement as it also had a guide on mushrooms, nuts and plants that could be gathered and eaten for free.
All good information for us-never know what the future holds. In America we are lucky. In some countries they still gather their food wild...
