Every May I buy 12 1-gal jugs of water as part of our preps. If a hurricane is coming I also fill up to six 7-gal Aquatainers and several 3-gal aquatainers. The aqutainers get dumped once the "all clear" sign is given. The 1-gal jugs get replaced yearly unless I use one before then. The used one gets replaced the next time we are at the store.
