Kimmy, you inspire me so much! I got incredibly ill last year and my sister came to take care of my girls and to take them back with her to her house while I was bedridden. When she came to get them, my house was in shambles and she couldn't find a whole lot of clothes for them. As soon as I got better (I watched you a LOT when I couldn't do anything else - who am I kidding, I hang out for your videos every week and I'm much more capabale now), you had inspired me to sort, tidy and purge and my house is now super organised and beautifully clean. Then I was having surgery (2 weeks and 3 days ago) and I prepared so many freezer meals so that my mum, who was looking after the girls, didn't have to cook at all. Again, you were my inspiration and most of the meals were your recipes. My life is so much easier now because of you!!! So I thank the Lord for you and I pray for blessings for you and your family. Love you and our one sided friendship hahaha
Excellent Video! Forgive me for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you ever tried - Panonnor Wordless Preeminence (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a good one of a kind product for getting designer or luxury merchandise at wholesale prices minus the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my coo-worker after a lifetime of fighting got amazing success with it.
I started stockpiling when there are sales about a month ago because your phrase "shop your pantry, not the store" made so much sense to me! Thanks for the inspiration girl.
We were affected here in Galveston County. My husband worked 120+ during the storm. Shame on me, its just the two of us and I usually am stocked. Including cases of water. Normally, I buy 2 cases every single time we go to the store. We were very fortunate, however, those around us, did not. Now my husband understands why I do what I do. It does not matter where you live, Hurricanes, fires, disasters can happen every where. Stock up and be prepared. This is a wonderful video. if you don't have to have a lot of space, you just have to know how to make room. Kimmie, your videos have been a great help. I would like to see more meal planning/prep. Thanks!! Bonnie-Texas City, TX
BONNIE HOSMER. Praying for you and all of Texas! We are a strong, loving country and with Gods help, Texas will rise from this. I agree with you with being prepared, no matter where you live, a disaster can always occur. Lets all try to prepare ourselves. We never know when it will be a blessing not just for ourselves, but to somebody else
BONNIE HOSMER I'm in Brazoria County south of you. My town was OK, but west of us got flooded due to the river. I used to live in LA, CA I was living alone during 1994 Northridge Earthquake. I walked 3blks in the dark to a friend's place. I was terrified. The only thing that's OK about hurricanes, there is advance notice. Hope all is well with y'all.
Kimmy I just did a huge $2700 dollar haul and stocked up my pantry, we are a family of ten. It makes meal planning so much easier, and you do save so much money in the long run. Last year we bought a whole cow and that was such a blessing. I wished we had case lot sales here where I live, but I just do what you suggested and buy when on sale and hopefully when I have a coupon. Good job Kimmy!! Much love Shelby
TheQueensCabinet That was a banging haul and really enjoyed watching it.I just never relized you family was so large.I just love the eye of round roast my fav. also.
Kat!!!!!!! I haven't heard from you in awhile. How have you been? My mom is still with us and her caregiver, so our family has expanded a little. I really want to keep her at home with us for as long as we can possibly manage. Still waiting on these boys to expand my family with some grand babies, they just aren't being very cooperative. hahahahah Love Shelby
Hi Susan. I think Kimmy gave some of the best advice when she said stock up on what you use in your tried and true recipes. I have a bake center that I like to keep stocked with baking staples, especially around the holidays. I also buy in bulk to save money on things like sugar, flour, beans, rice, etc In my every day pantry, I stock items I frequently use in cooking and some specialty ones too. I have a video on my pantry if you want to take a peek. ua-cam.com/video/Gwq1hLmA0yI/v-deo.html Shelby
Crystal Currie Can try real small. Like the weeks where you have more than $50, just get that extra box of mac and cheese or extra can of beans. It is hard to stock up, I feel you. Best wishes!
When the hurricane hit us here in Houston. I thought of you and while I am not as stocked as you I was thankful for you because you helped me become better and being prepared. When my lights didn't go out I put on my apron and baked your favorite bread for people because the stores were sold out. So thankful for your channel I have been here a long while and I am not going anywhere!
Great video Kimmy! I love that you do this and are so prepared. You are very inspiring. And you're so right about prices increasing everywhere now. I didn't even think about that before. Don't let any of those naysayers make you feel bad. You are being smart. Keep being you girl!
I did this when i had my kids home. I know we didn't eat healthy. But that is one thing i made sure of is my kids were fed and never went hungry. My mother lived her childhood like that and it made a mess of her life. I bought big bucket of lard, 50 lbs bag of beans,potatoes,flour, cornmeal and sugar. Cans of vegetables that we liked by the cases and cream. My beloved hubby loved hunting so another meat for our freezer. All my sons hunts now and i know they are able to take care of their selves if the worst should happen. Thanks for doing these videos!
I have just started shopping my pantry and it is making my meal planning and cooking so much easier! I've just been doing the basics (flours, can tomatoes and beans, sugars and UHT milk) but it has made an enormous difference to my meal planning... and.. I'm able to make things on a whim. If I feel like cookies, BAM! Cookies 😂
Love that you did this video. I've been doing the same for years and I absolutely love being able to shop from my food room and freezer. Especially if we are sick or extra busy or the weather is bad - I don't have to shop some weeks because I've stocked up previously. I'm in Utah too and I found that the Associated Food Stores have some of the stuff you got a little cheaper for this round of case lots but again it is all about finding the best price where you live and stocking up. I hope others who haven't started will be motivated now - it is such a blessing to know that you have food on hand to feed your family
I shop from my extended pantry and buy in bulk when I find good deals. It is great to have food put away when I'm unable to go to the grocery, and so convenient. I also can and dehydrate food. Great video Kimmy!
We don't have case lot sales locally, but I can get off-brand green beans, corn, and peas for .33 a can at Walmart at all times now and all my others are always inexpensive at ALDI!
Yes. I am so thankful we had enough and then some, to get us through the storm. We were not affected as bad as many, thankfully! I live in a small house and don't have the storage you do, but we do what we can. Also, our stores don't do case lot sales, but most things will still go on deep sales a couple times a year.
I use to lug home tons of canned chicken and beef broth. Just recently converted to Knorr's bouillon base and just mix it with water when I need broth. Cheaper and easy to use, lasts a while. Big jar at Costco for very little mula! !
Aldi is pretty much always case lot price! I don't have a storage area, but I try to buy enough for a month or two. I need to take a look at some of your recipes, TFS!
You are right about prices affecting everyone. Unfortunately, prices are already high on so many things already here in Houston due to the hurricane, so you are so smart of you to take advantage of those deals while you can 👍 great video. Take care.
Hi Mrs. Kim, God is using You! You inspired me to want to take care of myself and my family again! I love you! May God richly bless you and your family. Thanks!
I need to get more stuff for my food storage as well. My husband and I worked on it a ton and when he became inactive in the church we started slacking off. Though he's still about food storage. Thanks for the tips and motivation!
I am so glad I found your channel. You are so motivating for me and I swear you say things that I say in my head all the time! I have been watching your older videos and have put some of your ideas in place. Next is snack boxes for my kids.
I guess this will be my first comment lol You mentioned that amazing and life turning quote "Shop your pantry, not the store." I'm posting it in my pantry! I adore your channel! I believe i'm binge-watching your vids and learning so much! I have so many questions I'd love to ask you! Hahaha! Thanks for all this effort. You're magnifying your life calling! - Yaritza
We don't have case lot sales here in Ohio. Man I wish we had them, but I do stock up with sales like you said. I love having it here and ready to use. We had a great cereal sale here and I bought about 30 boxes and it has come in so handy!!Great video!!!
I usually stock up during the holidays. Canned corned, chicken broth, sugar, evaporated milk, flour, and canned pie filling are my items that I splurge on because I know I'm getting a better deal during the holidays.
I just did my first case lot sale . I ended up with 12 packs of pasta, 12 jars pasta sauce, 8 8 packs of juice (my daughter is a diabetic so this is a must), 24 packs of ramen for quick lunches or snacks or whatever and only spent $30 with tax.
Thanks for showing people how to stock up! I'm in the hard hit area of the storm. I was so saddened to see people were not prepared for even a week of groceries. People were standing in long lines at the stores and the stores are out of food. Here I sit not needing anything because we stock up. Yes we have helped others. I just didn't realize how little prepared people are when it's things you will use on a daily basis anyway.
Bless you for helping others in need. A lot of people may not have money to prepare and stock up when something catastrophic happens. They might just be getting by barely. I always try to prepare for the worse as you do and help others when it's needed.❤️
We live in Florida and with the threat of hurricanes we still don't stock up. I know we could get stuck for days / weeks if disaster were to hit .... but we have stocked up the in the past and a lot of the food ended up going out of date. We just couldn't go through the amount I had bought on sale.
TaleiErika it a great idea to home can foods! I can a lot, my family teases me saying if you can eat it I will can it! But believe me they love the foods that I can! If I were you I would suggest that you start with water bath canning. It is less expensive and less intimidating. Once you get comfortable with that then you can move on to pressure canning if you want. But the best advice that I could give is to only follow a reputable source and get the Ball canning books. Also a great resource is National Center for Home Food Preservation (nchfp.com). Take the plunge, you won't be sorry!
We been canning and stocking, we used mist the can soup stick while battling flu so now we are replenishing, I watch for produce sales and can away, sorry about plums, coupons .com has soup coupons last time I looked, I have a bunch powder milk for cooking with, we use almond milk for cereal. Well have a great week ,
I shop sales (as most of us do!) and stock up as well! I also can as much as I possibly can. This year there has been a lot going on in my house (repairs😜) and I haven't gotten a lot done so I'm panicking a bit right now! We are done for the most part so it's time to get busy! We do have a beautiful peach tree and I canned 2-3 bushels of peaches, we LOVE peaches! I also gave a lot to family and friends! But I have to get busy on tomatoes and corn and green beans.... I also shop the sales and then can potatoes, dried beans, meats etc during the winter. I feel so good knowing that we have food on the shelves so I can just shop my pantry, just like you have been saying! I also love knowing that in case family or friends are having a hard time I can help out by giving some of our stocked food if they should need it. Thanks for reminding everyone to do this type of shopping, I think it slips people's minds in the rush of life so reminders are a really good thing!!
No case lot sales in the state I live but I stock my extended pantry during the holiday sales Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas - with items we regularly eat & use in recipes . We are also blessed to have a Winco Foods that has good prices. I shop my pantry. And also bless others by donating to the food banks
I do not stock up, I'm a senior, This month I donated my whole food budget of $150. to The Salvation Army, and Best Friends Animal Society, both for the hurricane relief in Texas. I will get by on homemade soup. I felt that was more important than me.
Dose your Church have a cannery near you? We were able to buy large cans of beans from them as well as hot chocolate, patoto buds, apple slices and more. You need a lot of storage if you get very much but that wasn't a problem for us as our best friend had a huge storage area and we could use it.
Hi Kimmy, I was just telling my hubby that I missed the case lot sales...we used to live in Utah. Now I just go to the 99 cent store, Sam's club, and other local stores and stock up that way. I love having a full pantry and freezer.
I love that you give us a list of recipes inside the comments. Is there a place to print the freezer and favorite recipes or we have to just write it down from the video links you provided? Thank you
Will you share what things cost at the case lot sale? Pretty please?? I'm curious! I know prices vary across the country and I'm in Ohio. We don't have case lot sales. However we do have Aldi - and their prices are great. I just did a stock up trip yesterday for our family of 11 going on 12 and spent $350. Example of costs at Aldi (not a sale): Tomato paste 39 cents/can, Corn 49 cents/can, Peaches 89 cents/can, Pears 89 cents/can, Green Beans 49 cents/can, Pumpkin puree 79 cents/can, Beef broth (32 oz) 1.19/box, Evaporated milk 69 cents/can. I love your videos and always find encouragement. Thank you for sharing.
I am just North of Houston. I did my weekly grocery shopping today and it was slim pickins. Everyone is buying it up to send to the hardest hit towns plus we have a lot of people here in churches and shelters that have to eat. I also had to get gas on the way and stores are out of everything but unleaded which will be gone soon i'm told. We don't have case lot sales here but I would totally stock up if we did just for times like these.
I'm slowly stocking up on items we use a lot. I've told my husbamd and explained to him why and he's like awesome. We live in an apartment so we have little room. So I whole for a month to two months. Our Sam's didn't have corn in a case so I was disapointed. With holidays coming I do keep an eye out on prices. Also I wait for certain items. I love your UA-cam channel helped me with more itdeas. Thank you and God bless
Also my husband is buying a mini deep freeze By the end of the month. Then I will make lots of freezer meals. I have 4 kids and my awesome husband so that's 6 mouths to feed.
Its so nice to see someone up beat. I've been watching videos of some of the moms on youtube & Im sorry to say some of them are so boring but you were up beat so I really enjoyed your video & got some really good tips from it. I had never heard of case lot sales but I will see if they have some in my state but if not I got some tips from your video that will sure come in handy. God Bless😊💖
Thanks, in part, to your videos, I started stocking up some months ago. I have also enjoyed canning again since my freezer storage diminished. I do have an emergency supply of food. Still loving your videos!
In our Area we use Stores like Save A Lot and Aldi because to save money they put stuff on floor in there cases its like case lot shopping all year long and I will pick one or two items to get extra each time I shop so not coming out of budget all at once but I am always stocked little lower now trying to run low moving soon and do not want to move a bunch of stock soon as in new house will hit big time to stock new food room cant wait
We just moved our food storage from the garage into the house. Did that today. 64 cans of tuna. Haha! Think I'm ok on tuna! Wish Washington stores did case lot sales.
In New York we have can can sales which are essentially the same thing except they sell the cans loose. I use to stock up for the year but recently switched to the frozen vegetables . Apparently the metal cans are very unhealthy . Actually the frozen vegetables taste a million times better than the cans too.
I love your videos and Amy Maryon’s videos, both of y’all have great food tips and ideas, recipes and she has 10 kids some are older but you’re both very inspiring and talented 👍🏻👍🏻💜
You are great at this. I am not and our whole state is on fire. We are suppose to stay in up here as we are at dangerous levels and smoke goes up. Outside ash is falling and it's Orange out. Anyway I would be ready if I had done what you do. So I am going to take this very seriously. A quick go to for us is chili. This weekend when things blow over I'm going to do some real shopping! Thanks Kimmy!
I'm in Australia and our family loves using creamed corn with cheese to make toasted sandwiches (grilled cheese and creamed corn you might say)...So good
Around here - Campbell's soup runs about $1.25ish per can so when a new grocery store opened up and they were selling it at $0.33 a can - I went nuts! I think I bought 50 or 60 cans of alphabet vegetable soup. I just eat it as soup but it's also an additive for my meatloaf. I'm running "low" with about 20 cans so I've started looking at the flyers for soup sales as the weather is starting to turn here. LOL Heather xo
Man I wish they would have case sales out here: any tomato products (diced, sauce, paste), corn and black beans (for main dish salads), pumpkin (baking and smoothies), broth (for soups), peanut butter :-) , and any baking items.
I have an appointment on Thursday to get braces. Im 43yrs old, it'll be my second time having them, I had them as a girl but my overbite is back and I'm getting headaches. Have you or will you do a video on your overall experience with having braces as an adult? Advice caring for them, was it painful were you self conscious about it, etc
Such a great idea. I don't use canned food, I buy fresh. I mean tuna and black beans is about it. I like Costco for my baking items and usually will pick up from the grocery store if there is an awesome sale. I don't like the taste of boxed or canned soup stock they are way to salty. I like to buy bullion cubes instead. Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed your process. Off topic... but what is the purse your using? Caught a glimpse into the video, looks like a backpack style, which I am loving this year.
Maceys are doing the sell too... we got apple juice they were only 1 each and paper towels and toilette paper was super cheap too they also had flour. Brown and white sugar
Have you posted you're corn chowder recipe before? If you did I missed it; can you post it again? Recently I made my first purist purchase from Zaycon. It was their turkey breast roasts; so yummy. Expensive but I wanted turkey breast sandwiches. Cash and Carry is where I used to buy my roasts from and they stopped carrying them, so it was great that Zaycon carries them. I pick up chicken thighs and breast strips on the 26th. Can't wait to try those. Thanks for introducing me to them Kimmy💟
I love ❤️ stocking!! I never heard of the case lot sales..I know I stock from Sam's I get my All purpose & Bread flour 25lbs for a little over 5.00...Your so right about right times to shop certain things!!! Holidays does put Chicken stock on sale They don't put the low sodium on sale like the regular I get my lower sodium at Sam's the only time you can find the Chicken Stock in case.canned at Sam's is Christmas Wish I could find beef stock in or other wise cheaper it's never lower price 99 cents a can!!! I love watching your stocking videos I've used my pantry's up and moving my bulkier items to my back spare room nowIts always kewl and dark in there...Thx for the tips Will see if Texas offers any case lot sales I know you can buy cases at like Aldi's but you pay individual prices So it does have to be low for me to do that!!! I need to watch more of your freezer meals Um down with my RSD and we only have one freezer meal left!! SORRY Rambling with my coffee ☕️ LOL 😂 Take care 🤗🙏🏻💕Shey
I completely agree with case lot sales :) We have a family of 3 plus my step daughter on weekends so we don't always buy in bulk but I do like to when there's a good sale! I also have a BJs membership and use their coupons to get such good deals. If we had more storage in our home, I'd buy more in bulk because I hate how the staple items we buy almost weekly can be cheaper one week and more expensive the next therefore I wish I could buy way more than I do on the sale week!
Might be silly question what can you use evaporated milk for besides, say baking. Id use coffee mate powder for milk/ creamer, incase milk wasnt available. Ty
Love your video! Im just dusting off my food storage shelfs before re stocking! We don't have case lot sales but I can jam and fruit! Our plum tree has lots of fruit but is almost ripe! We love rasberry jam and plum jam we can all year!
Kimmie I love your case lot sales, at Thanksgiving and Christmas, Dollar General has Libby's veggies on sale for 3 for $1, I stock up plus on frozen veggies.
Wal-Mart has the big (I think 25 lb. Bag) of flour and sugar for cheap here in MO its about $15 for the sugar and $10 for the flour i believe.. Might try that!
We don't have case lot sales but I also like stocking up on certain items around holidays, chicken both, evap milk and butter! I make my own spreadable butter so I am always looking for a good price on stick butter and around Christmas is it!
Seeing you making that list makes me think of when I used to write my lists out. Have you ever tried the app Google Keep? It's so versatlie and you tap on the list icon and you can add items to the list and name it. When you have them, you tap the tick box and it ticks them off. The iOS version places them in a greyed out list below the active one so you can choose to keep that list for next time you shop. If you need them again, you just tap the box and it adds it back to the active list. The android version I think just ticks the box when you tap it, and unticks it. Once the list is cleared you can choose to delete it. You can also keep notes on it, colour code them, pin them to the top of the home page, and it's customisable. Here's the link for you: www.google.com/keep/
Pasta noodles of different shapes & types, and rice are always on my "go to" list!! I can always stretch out meat by adding rice or noodles to whatever we have.
I know stocking up your food storage is a part of your Mormon teaching and even though I'm not Mormon I think being prepared is smart. I would like to see if you bulk shop for non food item in bulk Those are not as important as food storage but then again they do make living a little more comfy. What does your church recommend you store for any or all given emergency situations? I don't think one has to be Mormon to be smartly stocked But since your faith really teachs this I would enjoy learning from you what you have been taught.
Stocking up is Smart..I did the same. Unfortunately, it wasn't a bulk sale but, WalMart has canned goods that's inexpensive. Costco and BJ's have bulked goods but, again, can do better per can at WalMart. Thanks for this helpful tip..
"Cream Corn Casserole" 2 cans creamed corn 1 box Jiffy cornmeal mix 8 oz sour cream 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup vegetable oil 2 eggs 1/2 tsp salt Mix together. Bakes best in 9x13x2 inch dish. Bake at 375 for 1 hour. I usually double. 😃
Hey just a quick question what do you do for sides for your meals. I am always opening corn green beans peas something. What kind of-of veggies do you do for sides I would love to see what you eat in a week .
Kimmy, you inspire me so much! I got incredibly ill last year and my sister came to take care of my girls and to take them back with her to her house while I was bedridden. When she came to get them, my house was in shambles and she couldn't find a whole lot of clothes for them.

Then I was having surgery (2 weeks and 3 days ago) and I prepared so many freezer meals so that my mum, who was looking after the girls, didn't have to cook at all.

it's a year later but I hope you are doing better now you and your kids
Excellent Video! Forgive me for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you ever tried - Panonnor Wordless Preeminence (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a good one of a kind product for getting designer or luxury merchandise at wholesale prices minus the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my coo-worker after a lifetime of fighting got amazing success with it.
It's nice to see how you are in your PJs and everything in the background isn't staged. Reality is so much easier to relate to!

I'm in Brazoria County south of you. My town was OK, but west of us got flooded due to the river. I used to live in LA, CA I was living alone during 1994 Northridge Earthquake. I walked 3blks in the dark to a friend's place. I was terrified.
The only thing that's OK about hurricanes, there is advance notice. Hope all is well with y'all.
Kimmy I just did a huge $2700 dollar haul and stocked up my pantry, we are a family of ten. It makes meal planning so much easier, and you do save so much money in the long run. Last year we bought a whole cow and that was such a blessing. I wished we had case lot sales here where I live, but I just do what you suggested and buy when on sale and hopefully when I have a coupon. Good job Kimmy!! Much love Shelby

TheQueensCabinet omg!. Some weeks I only have $50 for food . I'll never be able to stock up. Being single mum to special needs child is hard.
Crystal Currie Can try real small. Like the weeks where you have more than $50, just get that extra box of mac and cheese or extra can of beans. It is hard to stock up, I feel you. Best wishes!
When the hurricane hit us here in Houston. I thought of you and while I am not as stocked as you I was thankful for you because you helped me become better and being prepared.

All my sons hunts now and i know they are able to take care of their selves if the worst should happen. Thanks for doing these videos!
I forgot mac & cheese was a must on the list lol.
I have just started shopping my pantry and it is making my meal planning and cooking so much easier!
I've just been doing the basics (flours, can tomatoes and beans, sugars and UHT milk) but it has made an enormous difference to my meal planning... and.. I'm able to make things on a whim. If I feel like cookies, BAM! Cookies 😂
Cass Simm ... that's a great way to do things

I'm new to case lot sales and was super excited to learn that you can get some of the deals without even buying a whole case!
Yes. I am so thankful we had enough and then some, to get us through the storm. We were not affected as bad as many, thankfully! I live in a small house and don't have the storage you do, but we do what we can. Also, our stores don't do case lot sales, but most things will still go on deep sales a couple times a year.
I use to lug home tons of canned chicken and beef broth. Just recently converted to Knorr's bouillon base and just mix it with water when I need broth. Cheaper and easy to use, lasts a while. Big jar at Costco for very little mula! !
It's cheaper to buy chicken and beef broth in the cartons by the case from Dollar Tree.
Aldi is pretty much always case lot price! I don't have a storage area, but I try to buy enough for a month or two. I need to take a look at some of your recipes, TFS!
You are right about prices affecting everyone. Unfortunately, prices are already high on so many things already here in Houston due to the hurricane, so you are so smart of you to take advantage of those deals while you can 👍 great video. Take care.
Thank you Donna. I'm praying for you all and donating what we can!
She's In Her Apron thanks so much 😘
Hi Mrs. Kim, God is using You! You inspired me to want to take care of myself and my family again! I love you! May God richly bless you and your family. Thanks!
Thank you!
I need to get more stuff for my food storage as well. My husband and I worked on it a ton and when he became inactive in the church we started slacking off. Though he's still about food storage. Thanks for the tips and motivation!
I am so glad I found your channel. You are so motivating for me and I swear you say things that I say in my head all the time! I have been watching your older videos and have put some of your ideas in place. Next is snack boxes for my kids.
I guess this will be my first comment lol You mentioned that amazing and life turning quote "Shop your pantry, not the store." I'm posting it in my pantry! I adore your channel! I believe i'm binge-watching your vids and learning so much! I have so many questions I'd love to ask you! Hahaha! Thanks for all this effort. You're magnifying your life calling! - Yaritza
Smith's Food in Nevada is currently having their case sale. We bought Pinto and Black beans and Peanut butter.
Yay a Kimmy clip before bed to calm the soul xx
Easily one of the best videos you’ve made, make more like this! Very informative and right to the point! Great video and great editing
We don't have case lot sales here in Ohio. Man I wish we had them, but I do stock up with sales like you said. I love having it here and ready to use. We had a great cereal sale here and I bought about 30 boxes and it has come in so handy!!Great video!!!
Kellie and Jeff Svendsen ,We don't i wonder why ?
Kellie and Jeff Svendsen in Utah and Idaho they are big I think because of the large lds population.
I usually stock up during the holidays. Canned corned, chicken broth, sugar, evaporated milk, flour, and canned pie filling are my items that I splurge on because I know I'm getting a better deal during the holidays.
RoseAustin C. Hey that's good information
I just did my first case lot sale . I ended up with 12 packs of pasta, 12 jars pasta sauce, 8 8 packs of juice (my daughter is a diabetic so this is a must), 24 packs of ramen for quick lunches or snacks or whatever and only spent $30 with tax.
Thanks for showing people how to stock up! I'm in the hard hit area of the storm. I was so saddened to see people were not prepared for even a week of groceries. People were standing in long lines at the stores and the stores are out of food. Here I sit not needing anything because we stock up.
Yes we have helped others. I just didn't realize how little prepared people are when it's things you will use on a daily basis anyway.
Bless you for helping others in need. A lot of people may not have money to prepare and stock up when something catastrophic happens. They might just be getting by barely. I always try to prepare for the worse as you do and help others when it's needed.❤️
We live in Florida and with the threat of hurricanes we still don't stock up. I know we could get stuck for days / weeks if disaster were to hit .... but we have stocked up the in the past and a lot of the food ended up going out of date. We just couldn't go through the amount I had bought on sale.
Pippa's Mom I think the best part of having a food storage is that your able to help others.
I'm in north Utah and while we don't have hurricane's we have some crazy winters, good to have the staples on hand. Great idea.
Will you be canning anything this year? Would love to see another canning video, I'm thinking about starting and would love some tips
TaleiErika it a great idea to home can foods! I can a lot, my family teases me saying if you can eat it I will can it! But believe me they love the foods that I can! If I were you I would suggest that you start with water bath canning. It is less expensive and less intimidating. Once you get comfortable with that then you can move on to pressure canning if you want. But the best advice that I could give is to only follow a reputable source and get the Ball canning books. Also a great resource is National Center for Home Food Preservation (nchfp.com). Take the plunge, you won't be sorry!
TaleiErika i have some canning videos on my channel. The Kneady homesteader and our half acre homestead have canning videos that are great.
We been canning and stocking, we used mist the can soup stick while battling flu so now we are replenishing, I watch for produce sales and can away, sorry about plums, coupons .com has soup coupons last time I looked, I have a bunch powder milk for cooking with, we use almond milk for cereal. Well have a great week ,
It was so fun coming back to this video and watching you check your stock and make a list. I do that too! It’s fun to me :)
I shop sales (as most of us do!) and stock up as well! I also can as much as I possibly can. This year there has been a lot going on in my house (repairs😜) and I haven't gotten a lot done so I'm panicking a bit right now! We are done for the most part so it's time to get busy!
We do have a beautiful peach tree and I canned 2-3 bushels of peaches, we LOVE peaches! I also gave a lot to family and friends! But I have to get busy on tomatoes and corn and green beans.... I also shop the sales and then can potatoes, dried beans, meats etc during the winter. I feel so good knowing that we have food on the shelves so I can just shop my pantry, just like you have been saying! I also love knowing that in case family or friends are having a hard time I can help out by giving some of our stocked food if they should need it. Thanks for reminding everyone to do this type of shopping, I think it slips people's minds in the rush of life so reminders are a really good thing!!
No case lot sales in the state I live but I stock my extended pantry during the holiday sales Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas - with items we regularly eat & use in recipes . We are also blessed to have a Winco Foods that has good prices. I shop my pantry. And also bless others by donating to the food banks
I do not stock up, I'm a senior, This month I donated my whole food budget of $150. to The Salvation Army, and Best Friends Animal Society, both for the hurricane relief in Texas. I will get by on homemade soup. I felt that was more important than me.
God Bless You Too Queen! Have A Lovely Week!
Libby Bosworth ~~~ hats off to you . You a true humanitarian
That's very kind Just Me Thank You:)
@Queen Lewis h
I always stock up on basics and whatever is on sale. I need to start canning again.
Dose your Church have a cannery near you? We were able to buy large cans of beans from them as well as hot chocolate, patoto buds, apple slices and more. You need a lot of storage if you get very much but that wasn't a problem for us as our best friend had a huge storage area and we could use it.
Hi Kimmy, I was just telling my hubby that I missed the case lot sales...we used to live in Utah. Now I just go to the 99 cent store, Sam's club, and other local stores and stock up that way. I love having a full pantry and freezer.
Great video, Kimmy! You make me want to budget and shop for Christmas, when we’re having 22 people over. You inspire me too!
I love that you give us a list of recipes inside the comments. Is there a place to print the freezer and favorite recipes or we have to just write it down from the video links you provided? Thank you
Will you share your price points for the items you did not get?
Good hual mamma! I love it when the commissary does their biannual case lot sales!!
Will you share what things cost at the case lot sale? Pretty please?? I'm curious! I know prices vary across the country and I'm in Ohio. We don't have case lot sales. However we do have Aldi - and their prices are great. I just did a stock up trip yesterday for our family of 11 going on 12 and spent $350. Example of costs at Aldi (not a sale): Tomato paste 39 cents/can, Corn 49 cents/can, Peaches 89 cents/can, Pears 89 cents/can, Green Beans 49 cents/can, Pumpkin puree 79 cents/can, Beef broth (32 oz) 1.19/box, Evaporated milk 69 cents/can.
I love your videos and always find encouragement. Thank you for sharing.
I am just North of Houston. I did my weekly grocery shopping today and it was slim pickins. Everyone is buying it up to send to the hardest hit towns plus we have a lot of people here in churches and shelters that have to eat. I also had to get gas on the way and stores are out of everything but unleaded which will be gone soon i'm told. We don't have case lot sales here but I would totally stock up if we did just for times like these.
I'm slowly stocking up on items we use a lot. I've told my husbamd and explained to him why and he's like awesome. We live in an apartment so we have little room. So I whole for a month to two months. Our Sam's didn't have corn in a case so I was disapointed. With holidays coming I do keep an eye out on prices. Also I wait for certain items. I love your UA-cam channel helped me with more itdeas. Thank you and God bless
Also my husband is buying a mini deep freeze By the end of the month. Then I will make lots of freezer meals. I have 4 kids and my awesome husband so that's 6 mouths to feed.
Its so nice to see someone up beat. I've been watching videos of some of the moms on youtube & Im sorry to say some of them are so boring but you were up beat so I really enjoyed your video & got some really good tips from it. I had never heard of case lot sales but I will see if they have some in my state but if not I got some tips from your video that will sure come in handy. God Bless😊💖
Thanks, in part, to your videos, I started stocking up some months ago. I have also enjoyed canning again since my freezer storage diminished. I do have an emergency supply of food. Still loving your videos!
In our Area we use Stores like Save A Lot and Aldi because to save money they put stuff on floor in there cases its like case lot shopping all year long and I will pick one or two items to get extra each time I shop so not coming out of budget all at once but I am always stocked little lower now trying to run low moving soon and do not want to move a bunch of stock soon as in new house will hit big time to stock new food room cant wait
We just moved our food storage from the garage into the house. Did that today. 64 cans of tuna. Haha! Think I'm ok on tuna! Wish Washington stores did case lot sales.
In New York we have can can sales which are essentially the same thing except they sell the cans loose. I use to stock up for the year but recently switched to the frozen vegetables . Apparently the metal cans are very unhealthy . Actually the frozen vegetables taste a million times better than the cans too.
I love your videos and Amy Maryon’s videos, both of y’all have great food tips and ideas, recipes and she has 10 kids some are older but you’re both very inspiring and talented 👍🏻👍🏻💜
Thank you!
Everyone should be prepared of "needful things"...
We used to know this.
Awesome 👏
You are great at this. I am not and our whole state is on fire. We are suppose to stay in up here as we are at dangerous levels and smoke goes up. Outside ash is falling and it's Orange out. Anyway I would be ready if I had done what you do. So I am going to take this very seriously. A quick go to for us is chili. This weekend when things blow over I'm going to do some real shopping!
Thanks Kimmy!
I love the idea of having a food room like you do Kimmy :) Always great to be able to buy what you know your family will need at a cheaper price :)
We put cream style corn on top of pork chops (seared on the stove first) and bake them. Delicious
I'm in Australia and our family loves using creamed corn with cheese to make toasted sandwiches (grilled cheese and creamed corn you might say)...So good
I try to shop the 10 for 10 specials at my Kroger . That's always a good deal.
I stock up on green beans & corn when Kroger or Meijer has them 3 cans for $1! That's the best price we see in our area.
Around here - Campbell's soup runs about $1.25ish per can so when a new grocery store opened up and they were selling it at $0.33 a can - I went nuts! I think I bought 50 or 60 cans of alphabet vegetable soup. I just eat it as soup but it's also an additive for my meatloaf. I'm running "low" with about 20 cans so I've started looking at the flyers for soup sales as the weather is starting to turn here. LOL Heather xo
Man I wish they would have case sales out here: any tomato products (diced, sauce, paste), corn and black beans (for main dish salads), pumpkin (baking and smoothies), broth (for soups), peanut butter :-) , and any baking items.
I very much miss case lot sales from when my family was military. They would have regular case lot sales on base. It was great!
Do you have a video of your top 5 favorite meals and top 5 favorite freezer meals? That would be a fun one!
I loved the case lot sales at Macy’s when I lived in Utah
If you find fruit juice on sale for cheap you can make jelly out of it.
I haven't done a case lot sale in a long time but when we do we are fortunate to be able to use the Military Commissary.
I have an appointment on Thursday to get braces. Im 43yrs old, it'll be my second time having them, I had them as a girl but my overbite is back and I'm getting headaches. Have you or will you do a video on your overall experience with having braces as an adult? Advice caring for them, was it painful were you self conscious about it, etc
Such a great idea. I don't use canned food, I buy fresh. I mean tuna and black beans is about it. I like Costco for my baking items and usually will pick up from the grocery store if there is an awesome sale. I don't like the taste of boxed or canned soup stock they are way to salty. I like to buy bullion cubes instead. Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed your process. Off topic... but what is the purse your using? Caught a glimpse into the video, looks like a backpack style, which I am loving this year.
Maceys are doing the sell too... we got apple juice they were only 1 each and paper towels and toilette paper was super cheap too they also had flour. Brown and white sugar
Hi, Kimmy, I do that. Our canned soup was 50 cents a can. I know I should make it but I can't for 50 cents. Thanks for sharing.
Have you posted you're corn chowder recipe before? If you did I missed it; can you post it again? Recently I made my first purist purchase from Zaycon. It was their turkey breast roasts; so yummy. Expensive but I wanted turkey breast sandwiches. Cash and Carry is where I used to buy my roasts from and they stopped carrying them, so it was great that Zaycon carries them. I pick up chicken thighs and breast strips on the 26th. Can't wait to try those. Thanks for introducing me to them Kimmy💟
Thank you. Love hitting sale like this to stock up. Great tips. I appreciate it immensely. Have an amazing day.
I love ❤️ stocking!! I never heard of the case lot sales..I know I stock from Sam's I get my All purpose & Bread flour 25lbs for a little over 5.00...Your so right about right times to shop certain things!!! Holidays does put Chicken stock on sale They don't put the low sodium on sale like the regular I get my lower sodium at Sam's the only time you can find the Chicken Stock in case.canned at Sam's is Christmas Wish I could find beef stock in or other wise cheaper it's never lower price 99 cents a can!!!
I love watching your stocking videos I've used my pantry's up and moving my bulkier items to my back spare room nowIts always kewl and dark in there...Thx for the tips Will see if Texas offers any case lot sales I know you can buy cases at like Aldi's but you pay individual prices So it does have to be low for me to do that!!! I need to watch more of your freezer meals Um down with my RSD and we only have one freezer meal left!! SORRY Rambling with my coffee ☕️ LOL 😂 Take care 🤗🙏🏻💕Shey
I completely agree with case lot sales :) We have a family of 3 plus my step daughter on weekends so we don't always buy in bulk but I do like to when there's a good sale! I also have a BJs membership and use their coupons to get such good deals. If we had more storage in our home, I'd buy more in bulk because I hate how the staple items we buy almost weekly can be cheaper one week and more expensive the next therefore I wish I could buy way more than I do on the sale week!
Great advice! I love buying bulk and cases of items but doing it at the Holidays is a great idea. I hope you and your family had a nice weekend Kimmy
Have an awesome week!
Thank you :-)
Might be silly question what can you use evaporated milk for besides, say baking. Id use coffee mate powder for milk/ creamer, incase milk wasnt available. Ty
Good morning Kimmy! Nice job stocking up!! Great tips as well. Enjoy your Sunday!! ; )
+Donna Thank you Donna! Have an awesome weekend!
Uh you are awesome I use to buy at case lot sales back when I had a good storage.. I don't have one anymore wah! Need to organize my life better haha
THE WADS m
Love your video! Im just dusting off my food storage shelfs before re stocking! We don't have case lot sales but I can jam and fruit! Our plum tree has lots of fruit but is almost ripe! We love rasberry jam and plum jam we can all year!
Kimmie I love your case lot sales, at Thanksgiving and Christmas, Dollar General has Libby's veggies on sale for 3 for $1, I stock up plus on frozen veggies.
Wal-Mart has the big (I think 25 lb. Bag) of flour and sugar for cheap here in MO its about $15 for the sugar and $10 for the flour i believe.. Might try that!
We don't have case lot sales but I also like stocking up on certain items around holidays, chicken both, evap milk and butter! I make my own spreadable butter so I am always looking for a good price on stick butter and around Christmas is it!
Seeing you making that list makes me think of when I used to write my lists out. Have you ever tried the app Google Keep? It's so versatlie and you tap on the list icon and you can add items to the list and name it. When you have them, you tap the tick box and it ticks them off. The iOS version places them in a greyed out list below the active one so you can choose to keep that list for next time you shop. If you need them again, you just tap the box and it adds it back to the active list. The android version I think just ticks the box when you tap it, and unticks it. Once the list is cleared you can choose to delete it. You can also keep notes on it, colour code them, pin them to the top of the home page, and it's customisable. Here's the link for you: www.google.com/keep/
Im in Utah as well when i was shopping ah Smith yesterday and i see alot sale it good to stock up great price.
Man, I so miss case lot sales. Oklahoma doesn't do it. Also miss my cold room in the basement. Crazy, they don't do basements here. I miss Utah.
We don't have case sales, but we have can-can sales every january, where u can buy a case where u can buy a, case of what u want.
Pasta noodles of different shapes & types, and rice are always on my "go to" list!!
I can always stretch out meat by adding rice or noodles to whatever we have.
I know stocking up your food storage is a part of your Mormon teaching and even though I'm not Mormon I think being prepared is smart. I would like to see if you bulk shop for non food item in bulk Those are not as important as food storage but then again they do make living a little more comfy. What does your church recommend you store for any or all given emergency situations? I don't think one has to be Mormon to be smartly stocked But since your faith really teachs this I would enjoy learning from you what you have been taught.
Thx for awesome budget ideas! Other plp videos don't show u how to budget but u do thank u
Love your case lot videos! Thanks for keeping us motivated and focused!
Stocking up is Smart..I did the same. Unfortunately, it wasn't a bulk sale but, WalMart has canned goods that's inexpensive. Costco and BJ's have bulked goods but, again, can do better per can at WalMart. Thanks for this helpful tip..
Very rarely we might get a few cases at a good price here in Vermont.
Have you ever tried corn casserole made with cream corn? It's sooooo good!
No but that sounds amazing!
"Cream Corn Casserole"
2 cans creamed corn
1 box Jiffy cornmeal mix
8 oz sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
Mix together. Bakes best in 9x13x2 inch dish. Bake at 375 for 1 hour.
I usually double. 😃
Ashton A Thank you!!
Kimmy have you given any thought to starting your own garden??
Hey just a quick question what do you do for sides for your meals. I am always opening corn green beans peas something. What kind of-of veggies do you do for sides I would love to see what you eat in a week .
First time I see one of your videos. I clicked thumbs up as soon as I heard you say Houston!!!!
I miss the case lot sales in Utah. We live in Oklahoma now.
You have taught me so much throughout the years thanks girl 👍🏼
