Here’s the latest stuff that’s sure to please from shelfreliance.com! We have some new favorites and old classics to share today, so let’s get to it!

go towel 2 285x300 Whats New: Some Things Old, Some Things NewGo! Towels (Pre-Moistened, 100% Cotton Washcloths)

One of my supervisors asked me to give these new towels a try and write a product description about them. I was perfectly happy to do it, of course, but I have to say that I was really surprised at how much I liked them! I guess I was expecting a baby wipe or something of that nature – something that would feel sticky, flimsy, and totally disposable. Of course, it says right on the package that the washcloths are made from cotton, so I guess I should have known better. As it turns out, the Go! Towels are made of sturdy cloth that you can wash and reuse over and over again. They also have a real lemon scent, which is actually anti-microbial and insect-repellent. I really enjoy this product, and I plan on using the towels on car trips and hot days in the garden. I’m sure they’d be great for parents trying to clean up their kids’ hands and faces, as well as for runners or outdoor enthusiasts who want a little extra refreshment during a long trek.

One of my co-workers just informed me that June is the National Dairy Council’s Dairy Month! Random facts from the internet are great, aren’t they? Even though June is nearly over, there’s no time like the present to pay tribute to one of my favorite food groups.

sampleresize 216x300 CHANGING EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT FOOD STORAGE

Food Storage…..a word that, over the years, has become correlated with dark, unseen corners in hidden storage spaces. I’d be willing to go out on a limb here and bet that a large percentage of food storage gatherers buy their supply and tuck it away for years, never bothering to consider using it in everyday applications. I really can’t blame anyone for doing this, though. With food storage brands out there with names like “Rainy Day Storage,” who’d really want to eat this stuff on a regular basis?

Well, I’m proud to report that THRIVE Food Storage has begun to change this mold! With its great taste and high nutritional value, THRIVE foods will win your family’s taste buds over quickly! Many food storage foragers have begun to use THRIVE in their everyday menu planning—and that’s exactly what our intent was when developing this brand. THRIVE is high in quality, low in cost, and boasts exceptional taste.

When we developed THRIVE, we wanted to break the hesitation often associated with food storage. To accomplish this goal, we tested our food and changed vendors for each product several times over. We also sent THRVE home with our friends and family so they could test our food and let us know their thoughts. After several months of testing and planning, we came out with a product that you’ll be proud to use daily!

To make the deal even better, THRIVE foods all come with recipes on their labels! Each can is also color coded and clearly labeled so you’ll never be left guessing about the contents of your food storage cans (or what to do with the food inside).  

Of course, THRIVE is perfect for emergency use as well. A few weeks ago we had a customer call in to tell us she’d been caught in Hurricane Ike. At the time of her call, she was living off her THRIVE Food Storage purchased a short time before the hurricane struck.

If you are in the food storage planning stages and need help or advice, look over the Shelf Reliance website. Our site includes valuable information such as shelf life, the food storage preparation process,  and where and how to store your food. We also have a recipe database devoted to easy food storage preparation.

Consider trying THRIVE for both daily meal preparation and long term storage! Your family will enjoy great taste, and you’ll enjoy saving time and money.

THRIVE – changing everything you know about food storage.
