Week 4: 8 cans tomato soup

Week 5: 50 lbs. wheat

Week 15: 50 lbs. wheat

Week 16: 5 cans cream of chicken soup

Week 17: 1 bottle 500 multi-vitamins

Week 18: 10 lbs. powdered milk

Week 19: 5 cans cream mushroom soup

Some weeks you will have leftover change. Save the change each week in a kitty to be used for the weeks you may exceed S5.00 (like wheat or milk).

 

You will end up with:

500 pounds of wheat

180 pounds of sugar

40 pounds of powdered milk

12 pounds of salt

10 pounds of honey

5 pounds peanut butter45 cans of tomato soup

15 cans of cream of mushroom soup

15 cans of cream of chicken soup

24 cans of tuna

21 boxes of macaroni and cheese

500 aspirin

1000 multi-vitamins

6 pounds of yeast

6 pounds of shortening 12 pounds of macaroni

 

This should be enough to sustain two people for one year. For every two people in your family add $5.00 more and double or triple the amount of the item you are buying that week.

Wet Pack Cannery Update

Please Note: 

   The Aurora Cannery will not be canning Black, Pinto or White Beans, Chunky Chicken Noodle Soup or Applesauce in December. 

   We didn’t have any interest through sign ups and we don’t know when these products will be offered again next year.  Please share this information with the members in your ward/stake.  We hope to avoid anyone coming to the cannery to help without having contacted us first to preorder.

Provident Living Club

Due to the 4th Tuesdays of November and December falling the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas, I figured we should not have our meetings for those months.  If you object let me know and we can reschedule.  Depending on when I have this baby, we may not have one in January either since I am due the 20th.  I will however keep posting things on the blog and would be happy to meet with you individually to help in your food storage planning.  Let me know if I can be of help!  Lauren

Provident Living Fair for 2011

Let me know!

Cinnamon Rolls....seriously good

Cinnamon Rolls

1 cup warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)       2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

2 eggs, room temperature                                        1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/3 cup margarine, melted                                        1 (3 ounce) pkg cream cheese, softened

4 1/2 cups bread flour                                              1/4 cup butter, softened

1 teaspoon salt                                                           1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

1/2 cup white sugar                                                   1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast                      1/8 teaspoon salt

 1/3 cup butter, softened

Dissolve the yeast in the warm milk in a large bowl.  Mix in the margarine, salt, sugar and eggs. Add flour and mix well. Knead the dough into a large bowl, using your hands dusted lightly with flour.  Put in a bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place about 1 hour or until doubled in size.  Roll dough into a 16x21 inch rectangle. Spread dough with 1/3 cup butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.

THE BASICS OF FAMILY FINANCES

PAY TITHES AND OFFERINGS

Successful family finances begin with the payment

of an honest tithe and the giving of a generous fast

offering. The Lord has promised to open the windows

of heaven and pour out great blessings upon those who

pay tithes and offerings faithfully (see Malachi 3:10).

AVOID DEBT

Spending less money than you make is essential to

your financial security. Avoid debt, with the exception

of buying a modest home or paying for education or

other vital needs. Save money to purchase what you

need. If you are in debt, pay it off as quickly as possible.

USE A BUDGET

Keep a record of your expenditures. Record and

review monthly income and expenses. Determine how

to reduce what you spend for nonessentials.

Use this information to establish a family budget.

Plan what you will give as Church donations, how much

you will save, and what you will spend for food, housing,

utilities, transportation, clothing, insurance, and so

on. Discipline yourself to live within your budget plan.

(See the Budget Worksheet on the back page.)

BUILD A RESERVE

Gradually build a financial reserve, and use it for

emergencies only. If you save a little money regularly,

you will be surprised how much accumulates over

time.

TEACH FAMILY MEMBERS

Teach family members the principles of financial

management. Involve them in creating a budget and

setting family financial goals. Teach the principles of

hard work, frugality, and saving. Stress the importance

of obtaining as much education as possible.
