Pantry in 30 Days
3 Days, 3 Weeks, 3 Months Without a Store Run
A storm is two days out. By evening the bread aisle is bare and the checkout lines reach the back of the store. The family with a stocked pantry skips all of it, stays home and makes dinner.
Build a pantry from food your family already eats - 3 days by day 7, 3 weeks by day 30 - then keep it fresh and eat from it with the power out.

What you'll do with it
- Work out your family's food number: about 2,100 calories a day per adult or teen, about 1,470 per child under 12 - 7,140 a day for 2 adults and 2 children.
- Count what is already on your shelves from the Nutrition Facts labels, then buy only the gap - week 1 is 3 days of no-cook food.
- Grow it a little each shop: one extra of 2-3 things you already eat, on a set weekly amount, with the 30-Day Shopping Calendar.
- Keep it cool, dark and dry - about 70°F or below - with new food to the back and the oldest in front.
- Check dented or old cans against the Keep or Toss page, and eat in order with the power out: fridge, then freezer, then pantry.

- Does it work where I live?
- Yes. The guides are written for American homes in every state: gallons, °F, US weather and US stores.
- Do I need to buy a lot of gear?
- No. Most first steps use what's already in your house. When you're ready to buy, the guide shows what comes first.
