You can make a 2% mixture using whole and non-fat milk. Whole milk is about 26% fat; just mix 10:1. Hard candy is helpful. Kool Aid actually contains some vitamin C. Also, the acid of the Kool Aid neutralizes any bleach you may have had to add to the water to disinfect it. Remember to buy vitamins. A serving of Tang counts as a fruit serving. For non-food items: underwear, socks, shoes, boots, jackets, mitts, etc. in various sizes. Try thrift store for larger items. Shampoo, soap, first aid supplies, a few toys, games, books to keep from losing your mind. Unfortunately, stock up on head lice treatment. Getting rid of head lice is possible with home rememdies, but they're unpleasant. The worst case of head lice I ever saw had to be treated with kerosene combed through the hair, followed by shampooing with brown laundry soap. Write back if you have any questions. re stocking up for children: For children under 2 years of age, try to get some whole milk powder. You can make a 2% mixture using whole and non-fat milk.

Good sources of fat - children & elderly will lose weight more quickly with worse result than your average adult. I've added in vegetable shortening, chocolate, high protein bars, carnation instant breakfast (sugar free), and peanut butter. OK, I know that's not all fat, but as a supplement, I think these are all good sources of additional calories for some extra skinny boys I seem to have (wish I had the same problem). Fat.

I'm not sure that I've ever run across anything like that. And as for food, I would imagine children would be eating the same as every other member of the household, should the situation ever arise. Hi Stockingmom,

Besides food and water? I’m not sure that I’ve ever run across anything like that.

And as for food, I would imagine children would be eating the same as every other member of the household, should the situation ever arise.
