The LDS website advises 60 lb of sugar and sweetners such as honey and molasses. They only advise 8 lb of salt.

I keep about 8 lb of table salt and a little sea salt on hand. However I keep at least 5 boxes of canning and a couple of boxes of rock salt on hand too.

I didn’t use as many this year as usual though, because I had very little produce to put away. The drought really cut down on my produce from the garden.

We usually make a big batch of ice cream a couple of times a year in the summer. Also when the kids want a treat I make a batch just using a couple of zip lock bags, some crushed ice, and a little rock salt. Ready in about 20 minutes or so. Dairy Queen consistency.

Is that per person? I think I'm low, since I only have one SuperPail, probably about 45 lbs, of sugar. And maybe 20 pounds of honey and molasses combined. But I did just buy about 10 bags of sugar and a 5 gallon bucket. And have some mylar bags left over, so I can put that away. I probably ought to do another if the 60 lbs is just for one person. 8 lbs of salt sounds low! I'm sure I have much more than that. And was thinking of getting some salt licks, to draw in the deer, if need be. It's cheap, but my problem is that it is heavy - and I'm hoping to move to a rural area before TSHTF. Moving all my supplies would be a lot of work. I hope you - and all the farmers - have a much better year next year.
