Insurance is something we all buy. We insure our car, our home and even our life. But there is one kind of insurance most of us overlook: food insurance.

Food insurance?

Yes. Or maybe a better term would be “eating insurance.”

Many of us overlook one of the most important insurance policies we could buy: the ability to eat regularly during a crisis or emergency.

When a crisis occurs, food and other necessities may be in short supply. Or your ability to get to a Macey’s store may be severely restricted.

So, why food insurance?

Having an emergency supply of food on hand can be very reassuring. You never know what tomorrow will bring. Daily news reports remind us how misfortunes such as earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding or even a job loss can strike anyone, anytime. When that happens, food and water can become scarce, or even nonexistent.

Upon listing basic needs, eating and drinking rank at the top. No one wants to go without either for very long. So, buy food and water storage for the same reason you buy insurance: It just makes good sense to be prepared.

How do I build my food storage/insurance?

There are two valid approaches to storing food: “do it yourself” or “buy it.” Macey’s has many great options for food storage on our case lot sale. We have everything from canned beans, canned vegetables, bottled water, sugar, rice and much more. If you prefer to do it yourself, click here for some great canning tips.

What should you buy?

Store what you like to eat; eat what you store. Struggling to subsist on unfamiliar food in an already trying crisis can only add to the stress. Eating familiar and preferred foods can have a reassuring effect.

You can find your favorite foods at our case lot sale and for a great price.

Since Macey’s is all about food, we want all of our customers to have some food insurance of their own. When you buy insurance of any kind, you want the best coverage for the least expense. The same should be true for your food storage. That is why we run our case lot sale two times a year. Macey’s is looking out for you so come in today and start stocking up on your food insurance.
