And besides consider the convince of shopping your own store for dinner
I've seen a UA-cam on how someone built something like this. You could walk in the back an load your new cans from the back. It was on a slant so the cans stayed within reach in the front.
@@Thefamilyfudge Prepper-Must-Watch: 'Some More News', especially the videos about Water running Out. And Unions?
I am a beekeeper. Honey does not "go bad"; however, it will "sugar" after a period of time. How quickly this happens depends upon the type of honey. Liquidity can be regained by setting your honey jar in a pot of hot water and stirring periodically.
What
@@kay.2002 I think they are saying that it doesnt go bad it just crystallizes and to make it liquid again you put the jar in hot water and stir a bunch
Thank you so much for the tip! Will def be doing that as the honey I bought has "sugared"
They have found honey in Egyptian tombs over 2000 yrs. old and still edible.
I repackage honey in smaller containers - pint jars so that I am not dealing with 1/2 gallon sized containers that have crystallized.
Not food, but in the grocery category, don’t forget things like toothpaste, soap and similar items as well as OTC medications and basic first aid supplies.
Thank you
I would say that would be a different video.

Yes indeed.
I am still using soap from my January haul
NOTE: Putting Bay leaves in flour, rice and beans, prevents them from getting bugs.
Have you actually tried this and been successful? If so, that's wonderful!
@@TheAmateurPrepper yes, I do it in my kitchen pantry
@@SCSC-qz7rr, thanks for the great tip!
@@TheAmateurPrepper 👍
Great tip!!
For longer shelf life, I recommend purchasing canned goods that do not have the pull tab to open them. It is this type of seal that lessens the shelf life.
I had been wondering that! Seems like most of the stuff on the shelf right now is dented or expire in 2022, 2023 max. I think they're giving us the old stuff but I have not noticed any difference expiry date-wise between pull top and not, but I suspected the pull top were more fragile!
Great tip! Thank you!
@@jennytimelord9689 I have noticed that too! I’m very particular about my canned goods! I also have been noticing less easy open cans! Maybe they’re telling us something unknowingly
thank you
@@jennytimelord9689 @Swankyangelo they are closing a number of Walmarts in the Sthrn USA...they are moving around product...check your dates...becoming crucial.
I love my son so much and after the COVID situation with food shortages I vowed to be more prepared for both our sakes. Ladies Don’t forget feminine products, tampons, sanitary pads, thrush and cystitis medications. You never know when you might need it
Great advice! Thanks!
Just get a Keeper or a reusable rubber menstrual cup. My friend loves her period underpants
A cup snd reusable pads are entirely more cost effective 😉
Should a single guy keep some of that.... Just in case or is that weird?
@@Ryan-hw7qb hi it’s not weird you may have family or close friends who may need these items. Alternatively you could use them for bartering. :)
Why in my 22 years of living just now finding out what a “prepper” is?? It’s killing me because I been one my whole life. Now I’m finding out there’s a whole community who share common mindsets, feels good to know I’m not alone. It all started with zebra cakes and ramen noodles in my tote bucket in my closet when I was 8
Also those of us who were prepared didn't take from others canned resources because we already had our own and only needed to replenish. I talked to someone who makes canned good labels more people bought canned goods in 2020 and that's a good thing because it might have prepared them for more uncertain times.
😂😂😂 That is awesome.
Lol If I were that young and had those zebra cakes they would of been gone in days lol I was such an emotional eater
Zebra cakes and Cheez it’s were my combo. Respect
Your smarter than most young people.
I am a UK prepper, starting around 6 years ago and I am certainly glad I did, with current scarcity and price increases. Already there are limits on the cooking oil bottles you can buy at the supermarket and I still have 26 litres/40 pints. I have learnt from this video, which will help me in re-building stock even higher. One little tip I gained from a US prepper was to freeze your bags of flour for a couple of days before long-term storage in airtight containers. This keeps the flour free from weevils. I obviously forgot to freeze one, opened it several months later, and it did have some tiny creatures moving in it. Harmless, maybe, but not very appetizing. Especially for a vegetarian like me 🙂, although I store tinned meat, Spam, etc, which I would soon eat if hungry enough!
I do not follow the use-by date too religiously, some canned food from WW2 having been found edible after some 100 years. Same goes for many jar/packet.freeze dried foods, the manufacturers having to be very conservative with those dates imho. I keep a spreadsheet with sections for canned food, packet food, jar food, etc, and label each item with its own number (A100, A101, etc) for identification. I have columns for Description, Ref No, Size/weight/quantity, Use-by date, Price paid per item, Quantity, etc. to help me stock take, as I am now. It helps a lot. I just wish I could get family (with 2 sons and 3 grandchildren) to follow suit, but they do not see the warning signs. Now mid-70's, I have to also prep with them in mind as best I can but is a worry. Just about to buy a tall garage-suited (low temperatures) freezer for more capacity.
In readiness for the (inevitable) coming worldwide financial crash, I have got much cash got out of the banking system, bought gold, silver, Bitcoin and other cryptos and keep cash at home. Also, a daily Bible read. All part of preparedness - but that is another story. Keeping quiet about your prepping/stacking plans has to be a wise thing. Thanks for the video and Best wishes from the UK.
What are cooking oil bottles. Do you mean the cooking oil? Why are they being limited? Just curious.
I’m from the uk I’ve got tips from you both thank you I’ve only just started 😁thanks from the uk too
What's that stupid bible book got to do with anything.
Wot a stupid comment Chris it’s absolutely obvious why she’s reading the bible commenting like that is just not needed
@@chrisw138 you will now down to Jesus in the very near future. If you haven't asked him to be your savior, now's the time. He died so you may live.
Don't forget to buy several can openers in case you lose yours or it breaks

Before Corona I used to think you people were crazy, now I'm a believer!
at least you smartened up ... can you imagine the naivete of all those who still haven't
Corona came...
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace...
Of doubt in my mind
I stock up... Ooooo...
I'm believer I couldn't leave her if it tried
I'll see my self out.
@@stephenhunter6507 ... Loved their comedy show
Yeah I made comments in the past to preppers but it's BETTER to be prepared. I AM a BELIEVER. Since the first lockdown I brought many items some of which are finishing so stock up time. Salt amazing for healing gums, boxed powdered milk has yr expiry date powdered milk a bit further , boxed tomato paste very useful , pasta, oil on the list. Detol. Decluttering updating pantry now. Look at the petrol prices. Ginger garlic n other stuff I'm growing at home. 20 more items on the list to grow. Hav enough Toilet paper for 2 month- toilet paper is not only to wipe backside. Shampoo soap shower gel, fairy liquid have 6months supply.
@@stephenhunter6507 NOICE, loved this comment. You made my day.
Im so surprised at how many comments are negative or sounds like people have no idea about food storage! Yours is awesome! Keep on keepin on 🥰 what freedom to know we are able to take care of our families in a crisis.
Here's the thing there isnt a problem with having a food storage, in fact its smart to do so. But the quantities she has is a bit much. I could almost guarantee 50% of her food will expire which to me is too much. I mean who would drink milk out of a carton when there is a gallon of milk in the refrigerator that tastes a whole lot better? And as a result the milk will go bad. Im not trying to be negative but realistically this is way overdone. You can get the same results by having 10 of each can item and rotate through constantly.
@@corianne2099 I use my boxed milk to make yogurt. It doesn't go to waste.
@@corianne2099 The milk in a carton tastes exactly like milk from a jug. I bought 6 of whole and 6 of 1% in March before the quarantine. We ended up using it pretty quickly. Chill it, and you can't tell the difference.
I loving what she is doing
I wish that she had not shown the full extent of her storage. A short term crisis such as a hurricane is one thing, but in the event of a long term crisis, you may not want everyone what you have unless you are prepared to share it, relinquish it or defend it.
Beautiful job! I live in a small one story apartment complex, and my space for food storage is pretty limited. Luckily, our landlady is a prepper, so she's helped get us organized. She has built fencing around those of us who wanted it, and put together a community garden and plan! She's put aside extra storage in her own area for big bags and cans of long term basic foodstuffs for us, and just finished putting up a very large shed in our communial area for more storage. We're in the city but now on well water and we're ready thanks to her.. I'm so incredibly grateful 🙏 to her! May your viewers with similar opportunities to assist singles and seniors (like me) please know that they can make a world of difference.
You might need to find a way to get water from the well when there isn't any electricity! Solar system for pump?
@@kwarne8974 Thank you! I'll ask Tami the landlady about it!
What a great landlady you have!!
People will be swarming to your house in hoards to beg or steal when something drastic happens. Most people refuse to prepare for the unexpected, even when constantly being told to, but have no issue taking what they want by force from others who spent time preparing. Loved the video, stay safe.
agree… guarding supplies/ gardens … nightmares
Yeah most preppers will not show off their storage because of that reason
Don't show all your business.
Not my house bang bang
Yeah… the garage can be seen easily by others who haven’t prepped!
There was a time when I was younger, I had heat exhaustion, and a redhead, so I burned easily. We didn't have gatorade back then. My grandma gave me dill pickle juice, to drink(great for dehydration) and put apple cider vinegar on my burn. It really did help take the sting out of the burn and helped to cool me off, then we used noxema. Just a little pickle juice helped me with my nausea and was close to being like gatorade. Grams was born in the year 1900. Thanks Grandma. She was also a redhead.😍
Your grandma sounds so wise and caring! My heart goes out
Pickle juice or olive juice will help prevent leg cramps.
Yes Rita Block... Noxzema is amazing for sunburn relief. People think I'm crazy! I'll slather some on and it's cooling effect brings instant relief, and by morning.. no more burn
@@rudygfan Do you know how much and how often? I've never come across that info yet. :-)
Athletes drink pickle juice. It's good for your stomach too. I drink coconut water. It really gives me a pick me up when I'm working in the yard on a hot day or at work in the hot factory.
You’re killing it! Forget hurricanes. You’re ready for the zombie apocalypse. 👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣ikr
😂🤣😄
😂😂😂
Well that is coming
😂😂
I wish my family would listen to me about this. Been preaching it for almost 2 yrs and they say God will take care of them. I'm a believer and my God has supplied all my needs according to His riches...and I've been prepping with the supplies 😂. My sister told me she was going to come to my house. I told her she'd better bring something to the table on a massive scale!
They didn't believe Noah either, until it started to rain.
Yes ! I agree with you. Whoever comes to your house should bring something for the whole house.
God helps those that help themselves, or something like that
God gave us a brain an expects us to use it.
I tried explaining to my sister today and she said “well you can just bring stuff to our house since your doing it” That’s not how it works 😩
If you are in an emergency, it’s important not to forget about the water heater having a 40-80 gallon supply of fresh water. Easy to drain out if you need it.
Thank you for mentioning to not panic buy and also, that you did this over many years (and use your food as you go). Practical and important tips!
A true perfectionist. That house is that organized with four children... Commendable
Agreed something to definitely strive for
@@Lovingoddess28 ó9
Yes, pop tops foods are more volitile to getting bumped and hence spoiling ,nnn
It's hell for the kids.
I’ve heard to keep yeast in the freezer. You might consider putting doors on your prepped pantry so it’s not so visible. Also maybe hang some canvas covering over the garage shelves if you open the garage door and neighbors can see inside. You don’t want to advertise your preps.
If we out yeast in mylar with 0xygen absorbers, will the yeast die?
God bless your hubby…for past 2 years I stock piled mine yelled at me saying I was loosing my mind..we are truckers I saw what was coming I also knew my career was going to be lost due to my eyesight I bought above ground beds to be delivered and stacked up in my shed, bought 20 lb tubs to make wicking tubs and grow bags along with canning jars I only have 375 jars 😩 but I stocked our home and bought seeds that my family eats used my last paycheck to buy my gardening soil to be delivered this Wednesday! That was my largest experience at 1 time. Trying to get hubby on board with a shallow well and Berkeley filter. I need shelves so badly have stuff crammed under beds and closets and cabinets
I grew up on the coast where the hurricanes plagued us yearly. We would be out of electricity up to a month depending on the severity. My family keeps 12 totes each containing enough food for our family of 4 a month. Also we keep 4 totes containing each enough personal care (health, beauty, and hygiene), and cleaning supplies. We also have enough paper goods for a year at all times.
I didn't keep 6 months, but I did try to keep on hand about 2 weeks worth when living in Southern CA because of earthquakes.
This is a brilliant idea. I grew up where earthquakes meant you only had a backpack for the whole family. Now that I live in a different area-this plan is excellent for my family. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds yall have great strategy and food and necessity stores in place ! That gives me a greatidenabt sticking up more on some of the toiletries like shampoo , toothpaste, etc etc....yep 4 months supply of readiness...
So so true down here in hurricane ally 👍🏻🌟💖
I grew up on the coast of nc. Lots of hurricanes as well. When I moved inland the first thing I did was put together a hurricane emergency kit. I felt really crazy till a bad storm hit and knocked all the electricity out. Lol
Wow, no electricity for a month sounds aweful.
I have never seen a food storage
so organized as that.
Unreal. Love it!!!!
That Food Storage is Off The Chain!!!
😁😁😁😁😁❤❤❤❤❤
I know.. I'm jealous lol
The buckets fro Home Depot are great for storage- they also sell “Gamma Lids” to keep air out and creepy crawlers..
Did you know that you don’t have to throw out bug infested rice! Won’t kill you, and you can pick them out or freeze for 3 days..
Or eat them for extra protein 🤪
@@Eric-mb1do 😂😂
Love the working pantry and rotation. In an actual, long emergency you will need more water than you have shown. Also, I wouldn't depend so much on things like rice and beans or anything that requires a lot of water to prepare, even with water filtration. Does that require electricity? What happens then? An emergency for you also means an emergency for your utility departments. For example, I've known people to stock up on candles, and warming trays, etc. When I asked if they had lighters or waterproof matches on hand the reply was, ""no, why?" we don't smoke." Yeah, OK, so I asked how they planned on lighting those candles.
How detailed mind! By considering if electricity supply is unavailable...... 🙄
This is a reason I store home canned broth... To use in place of water for cooking and to add extra nutrition. Also adds delicious taste to dishes.
@@mycupoverflows7811 how do you store it

Don't forget a package of dried egg replacer to go with those baking mixes. I also like the Betty Crocker cookie mixes to keep people happy when they are eating beans and rice.
I have several children and only one of them has ever been so cheeky as to bite food packages the way your daughter has. While watching your video, I said to my husband 'Omg it looks like we've found our son's future wife!' Haha! She's adorable. :) Great video btw.
😭🤣😭🤣🤣
That little girl is too cute, she is a good helper. I like how organized your house is . You have a beautiful family.
When we lived in Germany during the early 1960's my Mum bought a tinned whole chicken in aspic. It was never opened and stayed in her food store until she died in 2012. When we were clearing her house I opened the tin. The chicken was in perfect condition and smelt fine although none of us dared try it! This chicken was over 50 years old.
Sharon Roberts wow! That’s amazing! 😯
I've learnt that if a tin is in perfect condition, even if the date says it's expired, most of the time it isn't. Because of the lack of air and stuff, the food can't really go bad
Most canned goods are edible with pretty good quality far longer than "2 years", like as long as the can is undented and intact. Of course, if you are making this sort of video and one person eats something "past date" and gets sick, they might sue you...
Milk sour vegetables also last very long. I forgot green beans - I tried them several years after I made them they were still delicious. But you have to inform/try yourself...
Wow! That’s awesome
Learn to make your own yeast and keep your beans, rice, flour and lentils in mylar bags.
Additionally, if you can grow food, use Ball cans to store through winter. Microgreens take only a few days to grow. Stock up on seeds.
Non- GMO seeds preferably...
I did get some vacuum packed whole peas in case I want to sprout - Amazon.
I'm a prepper but I would never buy all this garbage "food" for my family to live on. I'm amazed that so many people eat this stuff and actually store it for their kids. In an emergency to keep you from starving, sure. But they store it and rotate it so they must be feeding it to their children regularly. They better prep lots of meds too! How do you prep chemo?
Also, learning to regrow kitchen scraps. A few packs of decent soil and some grow bags gives you infinite fresh potatoes if you get in the habit of planting just the bits you cut out before cooking. Same with green onions, plant the bulb part that gets thrown away normally and the green part will quickly regrow. Celery, back choy, and garlic are all good / easy ones to scrap garden too.
Do you have any sources? I’d love to read the study that proves Campbell’s soup causes cancer…
I've been gardening for 15+ years but I'm doing a "double" garden this year. I normally grow what we need for the year and can everything myself. This year I'm doing 60 tomato plants instead of 30, 40 pepper plants instead of 20, 270 onion sets, ect. Growing organic food is the way to go if you really want to prep.
Wow!!! I'm impressed!
A woman well worthy of the title, Mother and Wife. Great job!
LOL! I like the idea of having a micro Costco in my house whether there’s an emergency or not.
Good job momma , don’t ever feel extreme about providing food for your family 😃exspecially the times we are in . Godbless your family
Wow! I have never seen a more organized pantry! I would also add cleaning supplies, bathroom/kitchen supplies, first aid kit, medicines and prescriptions, candles, batteries, lighters, and personal care items.
This woman is so organized it is ridiculous! This takes time, so good on her! I have most of the same stuff, and rotate regularly. Still, my setup looks nothing like this! The best tip here, is to buy extras of things you are already buying and using. Stocking up on things, that nobody eats, just means those items will get old and not get eaten. At that point, it becomes pig or chicken feed, which is not so bad, but expensive swine feed.
It’s the cans of soda organized in rainbow for me! 😍
My perfectionist's soul just LOVES how well it organized!
Doesn't that just make you smile - the organization is magnificent!
I cannot believe how clean your kitchen counters are with no toaster etc. and your shelving is amazing
Lady, you are AWESOME and a great organizer!! Wow!! 🤗🌹
..im a Filipina...56 yrs of age...i admire u of being a mother with your kids...i admire your way of budgeting...the practical way of stacking ..im just started making my pantry...and i follow your guidelines...
We also learned to do intermittent fasting so we eat only one delicious meal a day - to satiation, no more, no less, and that lessens the food burden while keeping us healthy in spite of what we eat; we don't eat sugary foods and that helps us stay healthy too. But I do plan to get a lot of local honey with honeycomb - a treat.
Your knowledge and way of life is admirable and you made sure your family is well equipped for any emergency. I am blessed to be born and raised in New Zealand because compared to other first world countries we are fairly independent and we are so far away from other countries. I love your channel and knowing that your family is prepared makes me feel relieved. Your family are amazing role models. I'm sending you love and prayers from me in New Zealand. Xx
Loved how you involved your daughter! She is Delightful!
After watching this I realized I need to step my game up!
Her display is so clean and organized I thought I was in PUBLIX. 🤣
Heat is quite the destroyer of food storage. We had a lot of our long term food storage items get wrecked from the heat of a garage. Be careful!
EXACTLY !!! You are saying what I've been saying to different folks FOR YEARS !!! 👍😲
I've been watching a lot of prepping vids lately to prepare my family but I think yours is absolutely perfect! For those that think they don't have the room to prep: I've seen people put water in 2 ltr bottles and store under their beds, put food in labeled totes and store in a garage or closet, some have even buried sealed buckets in their back yard, gardens or plant beds. We have to be creative with the space we have. You won't need 100 pairs of shoes or a closet full of outdated or unused clothes...food, water and necessities are vital to survival in any emergency situation. But above all else, be right with God. Repent, pray, read your bibles! Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. I pray everyone does their part. Be blessed 🙏🙌❤
Amen Angie! Get right with the Lord Almighty and everything else will fall into place. God bless.
Thank you God bless you and your family
You are right
Love your post Angie!
I put those bed riser boots on my bed to give me LOTS more storage space :)
Nothing has made me feel less prepared for a disaster then the increase in prepper videos I’ve seen lately 🤦🏻♀️
It can definitely feel overwhelming. But start small and cheap. Just 1 step at a time and don't compare yourself to others. Good luck :)
I totally agree :)
@@faithfulprepper right!
beans bullets bandaids....dry goods and a little garden (even if it's just a few herbs in pots in your kitchen window) you got this!

I LOVE YOU!!! Your food storage area is a beautiful thing to behold! I also face all my items to the front, and keep things in rows, so I know what's behind the front item, will be the same, or similar. All of your storage containers, bins and boxes are amazing! You even have those roller tray things for the soup, that rolls the next one forward after you remove the front can! I'll have to get my husband to check this out, and build me the storage of my dreams!!
Wow I’m so impressed!!! You are using and rotating them is such a big job and you have done really good wow ! Just wow!!!
As a semi-prepper I think your shelves/organization are perhaps one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen! Great job! Keep it up!
I love that you prep. Young women today are scary, they don't seem to realize how uncertain times are these days. I'm an old woman and glad I don't have to worry about anyone else, cause I'm alone and on the downhill side of life. I was also taught to plan for war, while there's peace. In other words be prepared. I watch them shop week to week, mostly junk food or quick fix. It makes me worry about so many innocent dependent children out there. God be with them. God bless you and your family.♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️
Thank you, Sun Dance! I'm over 60, and learned so much from my grandparents who went through The Depression and wars. I'm always preparing for a disaster food-wise, as well as water and supplies. No one else in my family is doing it, so I have to buy extra in case they all end up at my house. I don't buy quick pricey foods. Lots of nutritional basics that can be cooked. Good thing I love beans and cornbread! :)
And how scary are the young men?
@@jenniferrsmith2012 the men have always been scary 😳
I use the term women to cover both, due to the fact that these young "men" are more feminine, than their female counter parts. What an awful and sad thing to say, but sadly true. Masculine men are few and far between.
I am right there with you, Sun Dance. I was raised by parents who lived/grew up during the Great Depression and what they taught me was and now is more so, invaluable. I do have concerns about my daughter and her family as they are not as well prepped as I am. They are getting there slowly but my concern is that they are not in as good a place as I am and may not be able to get prepped before SHTF!
I'm so impressed, 4 kids and totally organized.
What a cute helper you have there. She's precious. I love your pantry tips.
Most of those foods will last way longer than the best by date. Especially the canned goods.
Yesterday ate a can of campbals pork and beans that expired in 2013.. Can was perfect, no bulging, no rust. Not as tastey but good with ketchup. Ignore the expiration date!
@@lorijean2475 GODDAM
@@lorijean2475 thats sick bro
I was going to ask what she was going off for shelf life on all that lol most of that will last way longer. 👍🏻
@@lorijean2475 Did you get sick
I love how your secret storage places look like an aisle in grocery stores
When buying potato flakes, it’s best to buy them without butter or other added flavors. Single ingredients last longer.
Amazing stockpile of food for your family. You might be saving it for the end of the video but part of food preps should be freeze dried that is packed in a way it can easily be tossed into the car in case you have to evacuate the area. Also need water filtration and dust masks or better quality masks to survive smoke or other contamination in the air.... safety googles that seal off the eyes are also good to have in the go bags. But again, in terms of food shortages that might be on the horizon, your family owes you a huge thank-you hug. Well done.
Even when cans say they can last up to 2 years you can still eat them 10 to 12 years after there Expiration date if you’re desperate.
Experiation date = 'best by' date. If can is not swollen just visually inspect and smell contents after opening...
I like the idea of putting a few bay leaves in with rice to keep the bugs out, and freezing flour before storing, for the same reason.
If you put them in the freezer how do you dry it out before storage? I'm thinking condensation would be an issue.
Gygax Girl I store rice and flour in the freezer with no issues. There’s no need to dry anything out, it’s already dry and just use as normal when needed.
Freezing doesn't keep the bugs out. It just freezes to death the bugs and larve that is already in the food.
@@danburch9989 That works for me! And, I read that they do not like bay leaves or hot peppers. I had bay leaves, so that is what I am using.
Your home looks like grocery store, that’s awesome.
Wow just a few minutes in and this set up in IMPRESSIVE! I love how you store all of those cans.
Thank you for this wonderful video. I am brand new to food preppering, And am in the overwhelmed stage. I took lots of notes in my new prepper notebook. This has been a big help to getting the process organized. Thanks again
Simply can't stress enough how important having food storage available is, especially these days. Great informative video. Thanks for posting.
It's good to be prepared and make sure our family is safe as well as others are also safe 😃🙂😉☺️
Very well done! Thank you for allowing us to see inside your pantries.
I RESPECT THE SYSTEM YOU HAVE ORGANIZED ⭐
Mouse proof things in those metal gift boxes that Wal-Mart sells for 90 percent off at Wal-Mart after Christmas. I bought 10 of them for 45 cents each and they keep the mice out and also keeps things in the dark
Great suggestion! Excellent way to reuse those metal gift tins we all get and don’t know what to do with!
Brilliant!! 💡
Also Walmart bakery sells their frosting buckets. Great screw on lids.
I use the tins for my spouse for his snacking where he can find something. The popcorn tins . and the cookie tins. British biscuits are found in tins a lot.
Growing up in Southern California as a Mormon I’ve been doing food storage my whole life then living in Texas working in food pantries and food banks I’ve learned a lot, when your looking at your dates that is to sell by date date your canned goods are good 5 years after sell by date and you can still use them after that 5 years it’s still good same with your rice and beans, they might not be as fresh but still very good, do your research you’ll learn a lot about your dates, even your frozen meats if there properly seal and stored there good for years, one of your best friends will be vacuum sealer, research is great before you toss it out.
Your pantry ideas are GREAT! My family is grown and out of the nest. I’m now trying to create a pantry for (1) yes, just me. So I’m thinking 1 can of some of my favorites. Thank you again for the tour of your ideas!!!
Your kids are the sweetest! Bless you all
That picture of you as a kid is so cute!
Yes
Timestamp?
Top food tip,
best before : you can eat after the date it just will loose taste or texture
Use by: do not use after date
I know lots of people say this but I recently had some mixed veggies that were past the "best used" by date by 2 months. I didn't think anything of it (since its supposed to be good still?)
I quickly drained it, dumped it & then.. Smelled it! Yuck! It had gone rancid somehow! Idk, maybe it wasn't stored at the grocery store correctly? Bad batch?
I've had it in my basement with no dents since it was bought..
So I guess it MAY still be good past that best used by date. Just double check before you ruin your meal
As she said: "use by"means dont eat it after the date.
Canned and dried food usually is still fine month and years after the best before date. Also chocolate and candy.
if it smells/tastes bad, looks moldy or is slimy etc its bad otherwise it will be safe to eat
The "Best By" date is NOT AN EXPIRATION date! It is the date chosen by the processor that the food will remain at it's best quality. As food ages, it loses some nutrition. Can have flavor, texture and/or color changes that have nothing to do with food safety. Properly canned, both home and commercially, food is safe to eat as long as the seal isn't broken. As long as the seal is intact, nothing can get into the jar to spoil the food. As to many dried foods, white rice, for example has a 30+ year shelf life. Processors usually put a "Best By" date about 2 years out. I recently cooked rice that I stored in sanitized 2 liter soda bottles in Feb 2010. Enjoyed my supper. That rice was fine.
If I'd followed the "Best By" date, I'm sure I would have sent that rice to the land fill around 2012 and bought some more!
Use By: Sometimes it seems that's the opposite for fresh foods. By the time "Use By" comes around, many foods look and smell like it's past time to toss them.
@@mommynikki6675 Good advice on knowing the signs that indicate food has spoiled. Smell is one of them. Sounds like that can of veggies seal could have been broken. Mixed vegetables normally last several years past the Best By date without any objectionable change in quality. Could have been a tiny dent at the seam or possibly an unnoticeable defect in a seam or seal.
Golden Rule of Food Storage based on actual observation of the food: When in doubt, throw it out.
Oh my goodness her little girl when she grabbed all the food and threw it back on the counter soooo cute!!!
Also, should have a rainwater collection system with a good water filtration system and large solar electrical collection panels with storage batteries if you get good sunlight in your area. A strong cement wall barrier around your home to reduce criminal activities towards you and your family.
I started serious prepping after my mom and dad lost their home in the 2011 tornado in our state. It took all of thirty seconds for them to have to begin all over again. They were in their late 70’s at the time.
I had always kept extras for my pantry stock pile, but not to the extent I do now. Thank you for sharing this. I do hope people are watching this and getting prepared.
WB Life's Journey sorry about your families home. I too lost my home, but to a hurricane. Flooded to the roof of my home. A slow death. It took days for it to completely flood. I hoped it would stop, but didn't. Then weeks for it to recede. Nothing could be saved.
@@snowbunny1285 I’m so sorry for your loss. It really does something to us to experience that type of tragedy. My dad had grown up poor. He had watched two of his family homes destroyed by fire as a child. They lost everything twice. Then at age 17 he joined the Air Force and spent his 18th birthday in Korea. Watching his 3rd home destroyed in 2011 was devastating for he and my mom. He is no longer with us, as he passed away in 2017. We each have sad events in our lives that make us stronger. I find comfort in that. 🙂
Was that the May 2011 tornado in Joplin? I'm so sorry if it was.
@@PhoenixRyzingArt It was in N. Alabama. The same day it hit Tuscaloosa, SW of us. That was a terrible day for our state.
I live in Florida as well. There are just 2 of us, but my stock is pretty good. You are doing a great job looking after your family!
My 3.5 gallon Berkey is easily one of the BEST investments I've made. They're beasts. We're sisters in spirit, lol. Your pantry looks a lot like mine! We have coffee, paper products, hygeine supplies, medical and barter stuff like tobacco and liquor stacked to the ceiling.
Gotta love it!
I gotta say I'm super impressed!! Your organisation skills are next level!! Great job. 👍
If i ever saw that video before the COVID 19 pandemic, and quarantine, i would definitely said it was too much . But after that period , i think it is super wise to have an emergency stock of food and toiletries, and everyone can estimate what does he really needs. Thank you so much for sharing . And may God keep us all safe ❤️
So true
@Sobe It wow awesome! Its taken me All year to get almost that far, and only for 1-2 items, not everything we need.
When I first saw the intro, I immediately thought of extreme couponing..
Just me? Ok..
Lol me too
Me too l love that show
me to i watch that show
Kinda! Omg miss that show 😭
Meee to
Nicely done, very neat and organized. I would look at transferring boxed items into glass containers for longer shelf lives
I vacuum seal jars and add an oxygen absorber. I seal with my Foodsaver but you can also use a "brake bleeder" (non-electric)
This was GREAT! You've done a spectacular job! I don't ever see myself going to the extent that you did, however, you gave me some great ideas. Thank you.
She has the most organized House ever seen TFS
You are very wise to have food storage! You can feel more comfortable knowing that you can provide for your family in an emergency. We don't have the storage you do, but we do have a good size pantry which provides space enough to store extra stables. ☺💗💞💗💞💗
Thanks for sharing its so helpful in these uncertain times. Your storage system is so well organized and really amazing. Good for you and well done! 😀
To help with food storage I would recommend getting a home freeze dryer. It’s pricy but really worth it in the end!! My family got a freeze dryer and it is really really good when storing our food!!!
Thank you for this video. I'm new to all of this but started a few months ago.
Want to thank also all of you who commented with your great input.
I am learning a lot from all of you.
God bless 🙏🥰❤👍
just a quick thought for you, you should really consider moving the water up off the floor- especially if you have concrete flooring. it should always be on a shelf or on a pallet... This prevents the water from leeching chemicals from the concrete, as well as water seeping out of your containers.
I watched this again. I keep sauerkraut because my family came from Northern Europe and that's what they ate in the winter. We get power outages in winter
here in Illinois. Thanks.
Love it 😍 I’m so amaze of how organized you have everything and the break down of things thanks for the video I’m a new subscriber to your channel I look forward for more of them you’re a true inspiration to many that believe in this and need guidance 😃thanks a lot ❤️
Lady you have my DREAM pantry! 😱😭💕
I like the organizational ideas. We went a different route with the food we store because it was cheaper to buy basic ingredients than to buy so much manufactured food--which does have a place if you need to eat but can't stop to prepare a meal. So we have a mix, but rely mainly on dried beans, rices, barley, quinoa, and amaranth, plus canned salmon and home canned chicken. There's always a pot of soup on and cornbread made, and all the basic vegetables that we grow.
I will most definitely have to start now to get to that lovely level of readiness.
👍You are amazing. I'm so proud of you! Well, my supplies are very limited in comparison, but survival foods are most important and your ideas are very helpful. Quite a talent you have there! God bless you and your family!

Really helpful. Thank you for listing :)
@@tarat26 Glad to be of service. :-)
Ur so underrated like u typed all of that
I love that the title says "secret prepper pantry" ..and the video has 1 million views 😂
Not so secret anymore lol
Wait till her neighbors see this, all they need is to recognize her or her kids and it's over
@@cobaltbluevision Suddenly that food is gone xD the entire neighberhood will live in their house
A smart prepper also stocks plenty of *aim-oh*
I don't know where that pantry is. Showing a video of it doesn't tell you that...
This is probably the best video on prepping that i have watched. Concise and very informative. Thanks
