Why it pays to pay attention to the price<\/h2>\n
Of course, stockpiling is first and foremost about security. But especially in times when the cost of living is rising anyway, it makes sense to think economically. A stockpile that is twice as expensive as necessary is more difficult to maintain in the long term. What's more, it's not about buying expensive special products or survival gimmicks that may end up going to waste.<\/p>\n
More important is a mixture of food suitable for everyday use<\/strong>, that you consume anyway, and inexpensive basic products<\/strong>, that have a long shelf life. This avoids waste, saves money and also builds up a real reserve.<\/p>\n Before we get into the details, here are a few basic rules that make all the difference:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n * Prices roughly estimated (supermarket standard), vary depending on supply.<\/p>\n Many products can be produced or preserved inexpensively.<\/p>\n You can build a solid foundation with just \u20ac50:<\/p>\n This adds up to about 100,000 calories<\/strong> - enough to feed an adult for several weeks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A stock means security. But also motivation. Many people shy away from the costs and postpone the issue. But every small step counts. Even if you only invest 2-3 euros in a stockpile product every week, a buffer will gradually grow.<\/p>\n I once started using exactly this method myself - an extra kilo of pasta or a kilo of rice every week. After a year, my pantry was well stocked and I had hardly noticed it in my wallet.<\/p>\nBasic principles for low-cost stocks<\/h2>\n

\nSupplies that nobody likes end up in the bin - and that is the most expensive form of storage.<\/li>\n
\nRice, pasta, lentils or oatmeal are unbeatably cheap and nutritious at the same time.<\/li>\n
\nA kilo of pasta for 49 cents? Then buy ten.<\/li>\n
\nFamily packs and bulk packs are almost always cheaper than small portions.<\/li>\n
