I live in the USA and the government is telling us that there is no danger. (In other words, GET PREPARED for something REALLY bad!)

The eggs will be fine but after a month or so they will absorb the taste of the mineral oil through the shell. (Yeck!)

I believe that the cheese WAX was to be melted, not the cheese itself.

I just purchased 8 oz cheese bars on sale for $1.39.
You can purchase cheese wax on Amazon for about $5.00 that can be used on several pounds of cheese.just melt the cheese in a pan that will be used for this purpose only and coat each bar with wax. You may have to repeat with a second coat. Let the bar dry and then mark each bar with the kind of cheese and the date.The wax keeps oxygen out and the cheese will last years.

To store your eggs…..dip uncooked egg in shell in mineral oil and let excess oil drip off and then
Place back in egg carton. Do this for each egg. Date the carton and I place the carton in a grocery bags because the carton can get a little greasy. Place the carton in a cool dry place.I live in the south so my carton goes in the refrigerator and I use vegetable oil instead of the mineral oil because I know it won’t go rancid with refrigeration. Each month flip the whole carton over as this protects the integrity. Of the egg yolk.The oil prevents oxygen from getting to the egg.
I just had eggs purchased on sale in April and they were fine.

To store food take all food out of cardboard boxes and use vacation & seal or Mason jars with oxygen absorbers that you can purchase on line. Pasta stored this way will last for years.
Always date your food, and rotate your supply.

It’s also a good idea to take advantage of produce when in season.I freeze blueberries and make blueberry jam that will last a year. I dehydrate bananas and strawberries and make bread & butter pickles when cucumbers are cheap and cut and freeze peppers for future cooking.

I liked your post and started my own prep. I have another source for 25 year shelf life food, which you can actually make money with.

We started using thrive food storage from shelf reliance; they sell rotating shelves so that you are always using the cans that are closest to expiration first. It saves us from having to throw out expired food that has been pushed to the back. They have high quality freeze dried and dehydrated foods, foods that you would want to eat, even when there is not an emergency. I use them in daily cooking; and the best part…they deliver it to my door!! I just take (whatever amount I choose) from my grocery budget and put it toward thrive foods and building my home store. It is awesome! I still shop sales and buy them of course, but it helps me to work on the foods that have a long shelf life.

I live in Canada and when you see a government wevsite telling you to “Get Prepared.ca” I think a person would be wise to take heed and do so, in an emergency it wouldn’t take long for the grocery stores to be wiped out and then what would you do if you were not prepared. (STARVE?)
