BECOMING PROVIDENT PROVIDERS TEMPORALLY AND SPIRITUALLY
"All of us are responsible to provide for ourselves and our families in both temporal and spiritual ways. To provide providently, we must practice the principles of profident lifing: joyfully living within our means, being content with what we have, avoiding excessive debt, and diligently saving and preparing for rainy-day emergencies. When we live profidently, we can provide for ourselves and our families and also follow the Savior's example to serve and bless others."
Elder Rober D. Hales

Getting Started, where do I put all this stuff?
You need to have somewhere to keep your food storage, but the important thing is to try to work with what you have; the church states strongly that going into debt to establish food storage defeats the purpose. The single most important thing about the storage is that it is easily accessible so that you can use and rotate your food storage.
- ask a grocery store for an old display or storage racks they may be throwing out
- use a closet, usually there is a hall closet that you can clear coats and shoes from
- wheat buckets with heavy duty wood as shelves
- a rotating food shelf system http://www.samsclub.com/ shelf reliance plenty food rotating system
- http://www.thefind.com/ is a search engine where you can find various space saving systems from different stores
- you can also search local listings like Craig's list or stores going out of business
- an ingenious idea for those with limited space or apartments it to recycle cardboard 12 pack pop containers. You know the refrigerator pack kind that are built to rotate. You just cut another opening for the loading side and turn it on its end. The new cans get loaded into the top and new ones get taken out the bottom.
wherever you store your items it should be a cool, dry place
President Ezra Taft Benson
(ENSIGN, Nov. 1980,p.33)
"We encourage Church members worldwide to prepare for adversity in life by having a basic supply of food and water and some money in savings."
"We ask that you be wise as you store food and water and build your savings. Do not go to extremes; it is not prudent, for example, to go into debt to establish your food storage all at once. With careful planning, you can, over time, establish a home storage supply and a financial reserve."
—The First Presidency
