1 week of no heat, no refrigeration emergency meals

We had a power outage the other day and I realized that I didn't have much in the way of no heat convenience foods to feed my family...hence this little project.

1 week of emergency meals for 6 people. Sparse but it will keep you alive and also provide a little comfort snack food.
These meals are no heat, no refrigeration (except for small mayo jars that will be used for 2 days per jar, kept coolish they should be fine for 2 days) so you can eat on the go if you need to.
These meals will also be used at home in a power outage situation when you don’t want to drag in the butane/propane stoves.
This all fit in one sterilite 18 gallon container besides the juice boxes, strawberry milk, and water. If you had a larger container you could probably fit the juice boxes also. Remember to pack your canned food first.
Chips, crackers, and cereal need to be rotated every 3 months, nuts and P.B. every year, the rest should stay good for a few years.

(I’m thinking of a backpack to hold these items plus the juice boxes. That would make it much easier to eat on the run.)

I taped big orange signs to all the containers that say EMERGENCY FOOD AND WATER so we’ll know not to eat it in regular pantry rotation.

Remember to restock if you use a meal or two.

All but the wheatabix, and Barbara’s bakery crackers can be found at WALMART. You can sub more late July crackers and Post raisin bran if needed.
