We recently visited a Jack In The Box restaurant for some healthy food (snicker). I did order the chicken teriyaki bowl, which I believe is one of the few healthier options.

Hungry? Stock Up On 1 Year Supply Of Dehydrated & Freeze Dried Food
I don't have much experience with Shelf Reliance's Thrive product but the price looks decent. Think about it, one years worth of food storage for around $1,000. You get grains, fruits, vegetables, meats, and beans. As an added bonus they are throwing in a wheat grinder. I guess the wheat grinder is a bit of […]
