Surviving on Shoestrings: Jason Barron GuestJune 30, 2014: “Stock up Food! Stock up Food! Stock up Food!” It’s the mantra of so many people who feel the need to prepare for the future. But just how do we keep track of all that stocked up food? So many of the food calculators/trackers and formulas irritated me for so long because they just did not suit the way our family ate.  Enter: StockUpFood.com. This was and still is the most user-friendly website I had ever seen to stock up food.  It became a great tool for us just prior to having to live out of our own food storage. I have shared this link with countless hundreds of folks since I first began using the website.  No, I am not an affiliate nor do I make an income from this… I just really like this site and it’s FREE.

I have the joy of interviewing Jason Barron, the CEO and founder of StockUpFood.com. You’ll be so interested in how this site works, but even better, you’ll love the mission and message behind why Jason created it to begin with. Not only that, but there is a code at the end of the show for you to have a lifetime of savings while you build up to a year’s supply of food.

Best Blessings & EnJOY the show,

Donna Miller
