Food Storage Weekly Challenge

I originally posted this under September is National Preparedness Month on September 01. Since some of you might not have read it and didn't know what was in the post I am changing the heading and moving it to the Food and Water section.
September is National Preparedness Month so I thought I'd start it off by reviving the Food Storage Weekly Challenge. For all of you out there thinking you don't know where to start this will help you. Using this system at the end of a year you will end up with:
300 lbs. wheat—–need 600 lbs.–includes rolled oats, pasta,
12 lbs. pasta
50 lbs. rice
50 lbs. flour
10 lbs. rolled oats
100 lbs. sugar—-need 120 lbs. –includes honey, brown sugar
10 lbs. honey
6 lbs. brown sugar
20 lbs. powdered milk—-need 150 lbs.
12 cans evaporated milk—
3 lbs. shortening—- need 70 lbs.
3 lb. oil
2 qt. mayonnaise
5 lbs. peanut butter
2 qt. mayonnaise
5 lbs. peanut butter
24 cans of tuna fish—-need 40 lbs. of meats
20 lbs. beans—need 190 lbs of legumes
1 lb. yeast
1 lb. baking soda
1 lb. baking powder
12 lbs. salt
2 bottles vitamins
1 bottle of aspirin
11 cans cream of mushroom soup
20 cans of cream of chicken soup
40 cans of tomato soup
21 boxes macaroni and cheese
This system is designed with two people in mind so adjust it accordingly. There is also nothing saying you have to stick to it exactly. If you don't like tomato soup substitute something else.
Week 36 – 7 boxes macaroni and cheese

I am so gonna do this, I have used a lot of my storage and really need to replenish things! I hope I have time to do this! I don't like macaroni and cheese; any suggestions to replace this grain item? Spaghetti maybe?
Are we starting here or are other back weeks posted elsewhere? Never mind, I found the original post. Thanks so much for doing this Tlwagg!!

Ravenwood have you thought about substituting a flavored rice. It's not mac and cheese and would give you some variety. Or maybe mixing up something like this:
3 cups of rice
6 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1/4 cup dried parsley flakes
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Got that a few weeks ago. Harvey's grocery had 6 four pound bags for $10. Today they had 5 five pound bags of flour for $10. Spent afternoon vacuum sealing.
