I have been stockpiling items for my family's emergency food pantry more aggressively now. I intend on going to my local farmer's market and get produce so I can start canning.
@@adriennesmith6697 Yes! Especially now! My dad canned all of the time, and I wish that I had paid more attention. That’s next on my list of things to learn. Right now I’m trying to figure gardening out. I have a few vegetables that are edible 😆
Awesome video as always, still loving this series and everything you're doing to prepare! A note on expiration dates: usually food in cans can last indefinitely so long as the can isn't damaged. Other expiration dates for grains/snack food also doesn't mean it's automatically bad and they can be consumed so long as there's no growth on or other issues with the food. The quality of the food may decrease, but it doesn't mean it's necessarily spoiled! With that in mind, you can save money and not have to worry about powering through a stockpile immediately if expiration dates are approaching. ' Don't forget your paper plates/plastic cutlery on top of trash bags to throw things away if needed, too! Cleaning and paper supplies are also a must.
😍 loved this video especially the grits vs cream of wheat segment. Ten minutes before I played this video I told my 18 year old that grits and cream of wheat are not the same product.
Your video is smart and to the point! You have a calming voice to help everyone feel uplifted while explaining how to get started with extra food! Well done!! 💕
As a midwest native I've always grown up with the idea that you should have extra food and water. There were a few times that the power went out for at least 2 days plus due to bad snow storms when I was growing up. This has stayed with me even now. And after the pandemic and with having my own family I've doubled done with my pantry because of raising prices and job uncertainty. There have been many times that we have felt the pinch in prices over the last few years, but having that pantry allowed us to not feel it as much. A not to everyone start small and stock what you and your family consume.
I have known people concerned about a disaster for decades, I never fell into that, I tried to ignore that something could possibly happen, mostly because I knew I could never afford to start a long term pantry.. I always told myself, well, I guess we'll be some of the first to starve to death... Grim attitude yes.... However, recently although we never had power outage issues that lasted for more than a few seconds, years apart, we have recently experienced outages for over 3 hours and more frequently than ever in all the 40 years at this house. And that was this past summer! What if power went out for a while in the winter?!.. So that tells me that even a wind storm can disable power more easily than it ever used to so I, as a layperson, have to assume that the grid is in fact, overstressed sometimes these days. So, a focus on stockpiling in case of weather related interruptions to power is not a bad practice... Consider a couple of years ago, New York lost power for a while, on just the first night of the outage, there was rioting, looting, a severe spike in crime. so , situations seemingly mundane, can turn wrong quickly.... I have only this past year been able to afford to get a good amount of supplies ready. I found that ordering small "backpackers pantry" foods was an easy and low cost start. So, Zombie apocalypse or not, :) it can't hurt to be prepared, right? :) Besides, it is actually kind of fun dehydrating my own food and coming up with different recipes for that. :) Happy stockpiling you all! :)
I use oxygen absorbers in my long term rice storage. Nothing can exist in zero oxygen just make sure you have the right cc oxygen absorbers for the size container. The can be used in pasta and so many other things. Never use oxygen absorbers in sugar or salt or things with sugar or salt in them.
Thank you for this I’m 35 and I just moved into my apartment in a whole different state and. Some times I’m like where do I start. Thank you for this and it’s even helpful because when your coming out of being depressed it’s like ok get up grl and go get something to eat and even the snacks are like yesss go to the store.

@@dawndevinetv I hear you! First off I want to say that you are loved and you are worthy. Remember that whenever you feel depressed or down. Right! The snacks will have you making unnecessary trips spending money that could be put towards something else 😁
When I buy my pasta I stick it in the freezer for a day or two just in case bc of the bug's but I also try to pay attention to the package when I buy it as well
Afternoon Tish .. lots of nice options you pointed out. I would highly recommend the Pioneer Brand Baking Mix and the Morrison’s Peppered White Gravy Mix ( you can find it in the bulk size foods aisle ). It is so easy to mix up some biscuits n’ gravy, and, they are both reasonably priced. I buy mine at Walmart.
UA-cam keeps deleting my reply comment Tish … 3rd time 😢 I live by the Pioneer Baking Mix and the Morrison’s Gravy Mix. Walmart 60 Count Eggs have jumped to $19.26 here in Cassville, Missouri ( SW MO )
My sister uses the glass pour over. They are made in all kinds of materials. I don’t like them but I would if I lost power. 😊 🫖☕️ I guess if you had loose tea you could potentially use them them for that. Like those glasses with the attached sieve for tea leaves.
The extra stockpile helps when you don't have the energy to run to the store, so I'll just grab a can of soup and I'm good
@@cynthiajudkins2250 Right! You can shop the convenience of your pantry 😁

@UniquelyTish I learned how to canned this summer from three river and homestead Heart.
@ Nice! I watch Homestead Heart from time to time. I’ll have to check out her canning videos😊

@@poketographyyy Thanks for the awesome tips 😊
Trish, you are the best. I just moved back to Oklahoma from California and I’m starting over with my pantry. I love love love your tips!
Wow, thanks for the freezing rice tip
Thank you I needed to see this, I’m gonna start doing this immediately! ❤
Another way to start is to get food boxes from your local food bank and also use coupons at the stores
