In order to do that, all stored food should be rotated as frequently as possible. Rotation of long-term storage prevents throwing away unused, expired goods which saves you money. Rotation also allows you and your family to get accustomed to eating stored and dehydrated food, essential in effectively dealing with emergency situations. Lastly, eating your long-term storage is healthy. Most food storage items are lower in fat and higher in nutrients than most convenience foods.
Many families keep food storage in the basement or in the back of their food pantries.
Keep small amounts of your food storage in the kitchen. This will serve as a subtle reminder that you have these items without taking up your whole kitchen. Stock your shelves with canned items too. The more you see these items the more often you will use them. Make a one-week menu consisting only of items in your food storage and then live on it.
