...prepare every needful thing... ~Doctrine & Covenants 88:119

In building their one year supply, many people often overlook storing non-food items. I have compiled a list of items to consider adding to your 3, 6, or 12 month storage programs.

  • Diapers (consider cloth as this will save money)
  • Wipes
  • Lightbulbs
  • Needles
  • Thread and buttons
  • Vaccuum belts and bags
  • Fuses
  • Furnace filters
  • Garbage bags
  • Foil
  • Plastic wrap or wax paper
  • Feminine items
  • Soap
  • Toilet paper
  • Laundry soap
  • Shampoo
  • School and office supplies
  • Toothpaste
  • Dishwashing or dishwasher detergent
  • Car oil
  • Clothing or cloth to make items
  • Pantyhose
  • Cat litter
  • Pet food
  • Formula
  • Adult diapers
  • Cleaning supplies
  • Batteries
  • Salt (for sidewalks)
  • Pain relievers and other medications
  • Razors
  • Shaving cream
  • Dental floss
  • Mouth wash
  • 1st aid supplies
  • Lotion
  • Shoe polish
  • Sewing machine needles and oil
  • Rope or twine
  • Firewood
  • Baby powder, etc.
  • Hairspray, gel, etc.
  • Aftershave and such
  • Garden seeds

I am sure you can think of other items that your family might use on a regular basis that you would miss if you couldn't afford to buy them. Heavenly Father will bless you in your efforts to be obedient!
