*****UPDATE*******
When I wrote this blog out over a year ago TOP RAMEN in my area King Soopers, Denver Colorado the price was @ 17 cents each - Today the price is **12** cents and that's without a sale. So as you can See the price has gone down in this market where prices are going up on many food items.
The below prices will need to be adjusted as they werE calculated at 17 cents each- It's always good news when prices go down on food items but don't count on them staying that this low - GET SOME WHILE YOU CAN!
TOP RAMEN MAKES AN EXCELLENT BARTER ITEM TOO!
No More Excuses!
Do you think it's possible to live off of $3.57 a week?
If I told you getting some emergency food storage doesn't have to cost a lot of money, would you believe me?
If you can't afford much and want to get some security in having a food storage plan then listen up it can be done. Food storage for one person for one year is as little as $171.35 that's three meals a day for one whole year.
You can have emergency back up food storage that's very affordable and easily ready at any store. If you shop around you may be able to get it cheaper too.
Top Ramen is the answer for many who are on a low budget but want to have something to store. Top Ramen requires little cooking and for dire situations it can be eaten uncooked or can be soaked in water as the noodles will absorb the water.
It's filling and versatile. You can add a number of food items such as eggs, mushrooms, meat, vegetable or even lemon and limes to give additional nutrition.
In the prison systems Top Ramen is used to barter so in real life this little product can likewise be used to gain needed supplies, others may have in exchange for a hot cup of belly filling Top Ramen.
I know what your probably thinking, YUCK TOP RAMEN! I would get so sick of that. But let me tell you, when you go without food for a few day Top Ramen will be a meal fit for a hungry King.
The problem is many of us are short sited when it comes to food. Many, if not all of us, have never gone without it for very long which does one thing to us, it makes us ignorant to some very
important and simple facts.
Fact #1.
The average person can survive for three weeks with no food, if your overweight you have more time added as your body will feed off of the fat- if your underweight then you can cut that time down from 3 weeks to possibly 2 or less depending.
Fact #2.
You can survive only 3 days without water and 3 minutes without air.
So you can have all the food storage in the world and if you don't have the water to go along with it then your dead in 3 weeks.
Fact #3.
A few days or weeks without any food at all- Top Ramen will be the most delicious thing you have ever tasted in your whole life, I promise.
So what I say to people who always complaining they don't have the money to buy food storage, I say rubbish, then recommend they buy in bulk "Top Ramen" if nothing else.
But make sure for every Top Ramen pack you put up as food storage, also store along with it one bottle of water. Most bottles water in 8-16 oz bottles are sold in packs of 24- so every time you buy a case of water buy 24 Top Ramens to go along with it. This is a good way to start off you food storage for the low budget.
Below I've made a chart of the cost per person, by month, year & two year.
Keep this in mind also..
When selecting a food storage program that's good for you and fits your budget, consider what it would be like if everyone around you also had no food A smart person will think ahead and consider storing extra food or items to be used as barter - Top Ramen is perfect for this

Note:
I buy the 33 Gal (Sterilite) plastic latch containers to store my top ramen in - they stack 2 high and 3 across 18 back so in one box you can fit 108 Top Ramen packages in one container- they easily stack on top of one another and can fit perfectly on top of your fridge or under your bed or sofa. I store mine on top of my fridge they stack three high and two wide 6 all together. Walmart currently sells the storage containers 6 @ $41.00 - the boxes can always be reused for other things.Also note I've had them stored there now for about 7 months or more and the only piece of advice I would add not that I've done it is this- consider covering each top container with a cheap vinyl table cloth because what I have found is the top containers get a bit of dust mixed with a bit of grease which can easily be remedied by adding a cover- it doesn't need to be anything fancy and you can fine the inexpensive vinyl tablecloths for very cheap in dollar stores,Kmart and Walmart you can cut them to fit so you don't have a lot of excess hang on the sides.
