    My office is my pantry too. I have 3 bookshelves against the wall, and 3 plastic shelves in the closet. I do rotate, but I still vacuum seal some of it because I don’t go through it fast enough. Thank you for saying everybody doesn’t have to do the same thing. As long as we’re stocked and prepped, that’s what matters. Your prepper pantry room looks great!

    I have a Sharpie tied to my shelves with a piece of string. I use it to write the dates on top of my cans. I find this helps me keep organized and if the power goes out, I can see when the item is expiring

    Prepper videos are my new addiction but they still amaze me. I'm from the UK and our kitchens are tiny and no attics or basements. We have about 10 tins of food (tomatoes, sweetcorn,kidney beans etc), some pasta, rice and sauces and that's it so a weeks worth of food if needed lol. Everything else is bought as and when needed.. because we just don't have the storage for anymore food. I much prefer it that way as there is no waste and your only buying what you need. There are a million different foods out there. If there is a shortage of one, I will buy another it doesn't worry me. But regardless I still love these videos. Thank you x

    Thank you! We're blessed to habe a deep prepper pantry too. I'm starting low spend, but we're not doing low spend on food. If anything, we're spending a little more to fill in gaps. We're doing no spend in terms of non essential items. Your pantry looks great!
    Dont let the nay sayers get to you. If you're using your food by the use by daye there's no reason to vacuum seal it. We only put long term foods in mylar, like wheat berries, rice, pasta, beams etc that we wont use in the next year. We're slowly building our long term storage as we can pick things up cheap. Auguson farms goes on sale on Amazon at times and we'll buy 1-2 cans for long term storage. Today and tomorrow is first priority

    Everyone should also remember that spices never REALLY expire. they have expiration dates on them, but that's only for full flavor and strength. Spices don't go bad in the sense that they arne't safe to eat. If they are expired, you just might have to use a little extra if they have gotten weak. And they don't get as weak as you think, I'm STILL working on a 15 year old bottle of cloves.

    I try to do a no spend Jan. And Feb. And use my pantry for those 2 MO. That way we have extra monies. For when land taxes, home insurance and car insurance and taxes are all due at the first of the year. It also helps to use up all the older items out of the pantry. And you also can find how well your items fit together for full family meals. Also food tastes change. This helps to use down those less wanted items as well. You are also able to find things that you maybe need to add more of. Doing this helps coming out of the Christmas and New year holidays. And funds may be short.

    You got it done and the prepper pantry looks great. It is probably going to be much more easily accessible in the room versus in the closet. I save the leftover sauce from takeout, too. I use clean Mayo and peanut butter jars as canisters for them. I sort each kind of sauce into its own jar. It is quick and easy and takes less time than sorting through a basket or canister of mixed sauces. I also have a large two handled tin serving tray that I got from Dollar General to keep all of the most used spices organized by my stove on my counter. It’s quick and easy and if you need to move the spices all you have to do is grab the handles and move the whole tray to where you need to set it.

      Been prepping for 3 years and I’ve never had issues with bugs or mice. I rotate my food. Use and restock, so it’s not sitting on the shelves for years. You can also store in gallon bucket’s with lid to help. For long term storage I recommend Mylar bags. They aren’t mice proof, but they do help with bugs and keep food fresh for up to 5,10,20 years! Just put the Mylar bags in buckets to keep from mice.
