Prepping isn’t just buying a lot of food and shoving it in your pantry and storage boxes and waiting for the day you will need to use it. You have to develop a system so that you will not have a mess on your hands and a lot of wasted food.  The most critical part of your system is food rotation.  Use the FIFO method (first in, first out) Always eat the oldest items first and when you purchase more items, put them behind the items already there.
