Week in a Box is a week's worth of food, one box per family member. All the contents are canned or dried, and can be eaten without cooking or other preparation. Include a GI can opener and toilet paper in each box. Fill it, close it, and keep it separate from the rest of your pantry. Open it ONLY to rotate your stock: put in fresh, take out older.

Food budget means a planned food stockpile (needing some cooking) based on your current eating habits. Dried or canned foods replace store-bought fresh (or you grow your own fresh foods). Keep stockpile separate and rotate this, too.
