Good Advice
The First Presidency has recently said: “We ask that you be wise as you store food and water and build your savings. Do not go to extremes; it is not prudent, for example, to go into debt to establish your food storage all at once. With careful planning, you can, over time, establish a home storage supply and a financial reserve."

I'm not very good at blogging, but I did want to leave a comment. My comment is about the "rotating" 72hr kits. One of the things that Scott and I have done that helps out with rotating them is that we have made it a Conference tradition to go through our 72hr kits. We generally pull them out while we are watching general conference, or in between sessions and just sorta sort through them and pull the stuff that is about to expire and replace it with current stuff from the cupboard. Then we make sure to use the stuff we pulled. Anyhow it makes it so that we review our kits at least every 6 months.
Excellent advice Ester! I agree that a set time, such as conference, is a great way to remember to rotate things like water or 72-hr kits.
