I just wanted to add honey to the list, honey is actually the one food that is proven to never spoil.
Honey only spoils if it is exposed to water.
They have these real Honey straws that keep forever.
I had trouble with other containers for honey so I switched to the real Honey straws and I have not had any problem with them.
What are honey straws never heard of them before?
100% real raw honey. Buy local to help with allergies.
I have been brushing my teeth with equal parts of fine sea salt and baking soda, making it into a paste with hydrogen peroxide for years!
My dentist is pleased with the results!!
I use regular iodized salt, but have been doing the same thing for a couple of years. I will also rinse my mouth with peroxide before brushing my teeth and after to help get rid of any bacteria, etc.
Just keep in mind that peroxide doesn't last forever. I just turns into water so you won't see any bubbling action. That's your indicator that it's not working anymore. Thanks for the reminder on baking soda for toothpaste. I knew I bought a bunch, but had forgotten that usage.
Baking soda is also a wonderful antacid.
Hi! Thanks for everything you do AG. Your calm and consistent approach to prepping is a godsend for many people. Keep up the great work 👌 sending love and light to all of my beautiful brothers and sisters out there. Stay strong, stay focused and stay determined 👊💜👊🌱
I appreciate that!
Another good tip is if you have pets make sure that you have a shelf stable ingredients on hand for easy to make dog food. There are recipes for simple balanced easy to prepare home made food. My dog has a liver shunt so now can only have home made food. I keep rice, oatmeal, pumpkin puree, dehydrated vegetables, lentils, garbanzo beans and sardines on hand. Most dogs can have other meat proteins, but due to his health issues his system turns most meat proteins to toxins and he has seizures. My dog is small so I can easily make 2 weeks of food at a time in my pressure cooker and freeze daily portions. I am going to try dehydrating some as well in case of a emergency.
When our dog had an upset stomach, our Vet recommended that we boil equal parts of ground beef and rice (I used Minute rice) together until the beef was cooked through, drain the liquid, and then cool and serve. He LOVED it, and it cured his upset stomach. Rice and ground beef worked wonders.
There’s supposed to be shortages for corn due to planting and weather issues. In addition to items like cornmeal or corn starch, if you enjoy popcorn you might want to get it now. You can vacuum seal these items to help keep them fresh. Popcorn might also be a budget friendly and comforting treat as well.
Great tip!
store popcorn, grind for cornmeal if needed
Strong odors in jar lids can be removed by putting bleach or Ododban in them, letting them sit and them washing thoroughly.
Get more GRAINS and Seed/grains: quinoa, buckwheat, milletand others are gluten-free; barley and bulgar are wheat. All are full of protein and can not only a nice change when added to rice, they can make cans of vegetables into protein dishes.
Don't forget cream of tartar. Very good to have for baking.
How long does it last and how do you package it for long term storage? Thank you!
I have not been able to find any at the store. May have to order some online.
I sprinkle baking soda inside a plastic bag and add the lids after I've washed and dried them a few times. Leave the bag closed for a week or so. The baking soda will help remove the odors.
Didn't know about the red kidney beans. Thanks.
Lentils are also cheap, nutrient dense, work good with rice (seasoning is everything) and store great. FYI, you can brush your teeth with Baking Soda (forget about storing tooth paste). Non Fat Powdered Milk stores good for a long time using a Food Saver Vacuum Sealer. I love recycling my Classico bottles, mason jars can get expensive, I just buy the lids now. I've recently learned how to make flat breads, pretty easy. Corn tortillas are simplest, corn masa/flour & water. Excellent skill to have if you have the ability to heat a frying pan. Very nice bread substitute or you can even make corn chips for snacking.😉
A good substitute for water is a can of creamed corn in cornbread also.
@@debz3503 Cool, I'll check it out, I've been feeling like having some corn bread, Thx. 😋
@@williammaurer9450 also a good substitute if you normally add milk instead of water. It's the only way I make it now, plus I like the added corn. Great with chili, ham&beans 👍😁.
@@debz3503 I'm on it. TY
Do you need oil or butter to cook them with?
Thank you for your informative vids, AG!!! The two best things I learned to do: 1) transfer dry food to mylar bags and seal with an oxygen absorber inside. These bags go into food grade buckets and stacked. 2) pressure canning was the "lockdown" skill I learned. I can't believe it took me so long to learn such a valuable skill! I now have *fast food* on my shelves at all time and I know exactly what it is it. I primarily can single items like chicken, broth, potatoes, greens, etc. But, making soup bases (that you can add a starch to later) are awesome.
In 2018, something told me to put extra away. I have a small budget. My grocery budget was $10 a week to eat. I carefully portion out my food to keep what I eat at less than $1 a day.
LaModerna pasta is 48 cents a package these days. It does not contain eggs so it lasts a long time. It is on smaller pieces so it cooks faster. I have different sauce and flavoring options for my pasta.
I worked on repackaging systems.
They have new shelf stable meat at Walmart. I got some to try and it was pretty good. It is in pouches from Hereford.
Alaska Granny, I got white rice in bulk. I stored the entire bags in a feezer for a month, to kill any pests. Then I put it into containers with oxygen absorbers and it is now on the shelf. Many thanks for yor awesome videos; I am a huge fan. Love from South Africa ⚘⚘⚘🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I store white rice the same, but I also add desiccant to control any moisture passible from condensation.
Actually, you're supposed to freeze, thaw and refreeze.
The first freezing kills any adult bugs, the thaw allows any eggs laid to hatch, the refreezing kills the larvae.
If you store dry beans for too long in the original plastic bag, they can get so hard they will not soften no matter how long you cook them. If this happens to you, use a grain mill on the coarsest setting to break the beans into pieces and then grind them a second or third time to make a coarse meal. Add this bean meal to other ingredients to make homemade soup, savory quick bread, Ezekiel bread or cornbread. When making bread with bean meal as an ingredient, you may want to let the batter rest for a few minutes so the bean meal can absorb enough water so it will soften during cooking.
If you put a pinch of baking soda for each cup of beans, soak overnight, drain and rinse, then cook as usual. They will be soft.
Have been eating raw uncooked oatmeal for 60 years. Just add milk and sugar or honey and eat!! No cooking neededed, you can also just add hot or cold water and let it soak for awhile!! Love mine with add dehydrated cranberries, or raisins or nuts, sprinkled with ground cinnamon.
Interesting.
I do that too! Started when I was a kid, with no gas too cook it. So I added milk and ate like cereal. I've done it that way ever since!!
Soaking covers in baking soda takes the oder away
I tried that with no luck! Pickle jars are a good size and I've tried to remove the smell from those lids as well as lids from spaghetti sauce and hot sauce lids...all to no avail though I can deal with storing pasta in jars with residue aroma from spaghetti sauce and possibly salsa lids yet pickle smell -- no way! What a shame to not be able to use the pickle jars. Any other suggestions, please? Thanks!
@@Toni-ux3xo..Then a 2 min. soak in lemon juice concentrate may do it. Rinse as usual and if it works for you.
@@bikemannc Thanks, I'll buy some and give it a try since I've already tried white vinegar and then also did baking soda, both no luck. Fingers crossed!
Long story short..
Friend, complaining on trying to buy & stock...
We have : Family $, $ Tree, General $ Foodlion, and Walmart...in our lil town..Plus at that time several food pantries..
( Which her family qualified)..
I told her to pull up Walmart( her fo to) & look up " UNDER A $ products) also $ Tree was still a 1$..Go back on open days to FP was open....& on Organizations ...
It can be done..If you choose too...
THANKS AG.....♥️🌹
Yes, if you choose!
Dollar Tree has real canned ham for $4.00 a can. Better than Amazon.
Thank you! I will check our store.
Refrigerated or shelf stable?
The last time I bought canned ham at Walmart, it was below $4.00.
PASTA needs to be vacuum-sealed,(first in papper), or at least use good, strong, double ziplock bags and press out as much air as possible.It will look great, but get mushy and break when boiled if exposed to air for too long.Boxes in containers is not good enough for years of storage.
I vacuum seal my pasta into mason jars using a brake bleeder.
@@tennesseeterri That is nice, IF you have the jars. I cannot afford to keep buying jars, especially big ones and then storage is a problem.I have my vac-sealed pasta in boxes.
Hi AG 🤗. I feel the same about kidney beans and get canned for the same reasons. 🤗❤️🙏
Thanks for another great video! Rice may not be as available soon so perhaps buying rice would be a good idea.
Spam is amazing and I saw a video of a guy who opened and ate a can of spam that was over 10 years old.
Good idea to reuse you pasta and pickle jars. You can always boil the lids or if the jars smell put them in the oven
I'll try boiling the lids to get pickle and salsa odors out of them; I've soaked the lids in baking soda, white vinegar, and even left them out in the sun for weeks yet they still smell. The jars are fine; they wash up clean and odorless. I'll see what happens...
@@Toni-ux3xo yeah i wouldn't doubt you. I've boil a lid today its still has the slightest sent of pickles but as long as its not very strong i think im good. I will only put getti and some rice in the jar, nothing moist.
I have struggled with healthy ideas for using and rotating canned fruit. I found a good solution. Dr. Joel Furhman has an anti cancer breakfast bowl recipe (it’s on UA-cam). Instead of adding the berries I added a can of fruit. I used peaches the last time so I added a little cinnamon. Tasted great!! 👍
I make easy fruit cobbler. Heat oven to 375 and place 3/4 stick of butter in 9x9 dish (or similar size casserole dish). Place dish in oven to melt butter. Mix together 1 cup self-rising flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk and a few drops of vanilla or lemon extract. Pour batter into dish with hot butter and spoon fruit on top (do not stir). Bake 35-45 minutes until top is well browned. It works with any canned fruit or pie filling. The recipe doesn’t use any eggs which is helpful if eggs are scarce. It’s one of the best desserts I ever had too.
Good video, thanks for sharing, God bless !
Thank you AG!! Have a blessed day!!🤗😊😎
Same to you.
@@AlaskaGranny 🤗😊😁 thank you
Love the advice you give AG
Thanks for the info AG… helpful.
Didn’t know about dry kidney beans. 😊
AG: Very nice presentation. I got to thinking about foods that lift my spirits. A few months back I bought one of those big jars of dill pickles. I went through the whole jar by myself in less than three days. CHOCOLATE FUDGE...I quit making fudge because I was like a little kid lacking self discipline I would eat all of it like it was popcorn and each time I say never again....yup, I repeat it. Needless to say I haven't added either one of those to my pantry. Am I alone in this or is everyone else struggling with similar foods or treats?
I’m with you. Certain foods are not allowed in the house because I lack the self control to monitor my eating habits. Cadbury chocolate and Burek bread. 🤷🏽♀️ go figure!
@@muddyshoesgardener Hey Muddy, glad I'm not alone. I wasn't familiar with Burek bread so I had to look it up. Yeah, I can see why you and I would be eating a lot of that bread.
@@ceo904
Of course I had to look it up 🤓. I’ve read that a variety of sorts is spanakopita …. Omg, my FAVORITE appetizer !!!! 😋
I've come to terms that there may not be chocolate bars in my future no matter how much I buy&try to hide from myself😏😕.I've even tried buying chocolates that I "normally" don't buy to no avail. Sigh...
@@debz3503 I'm going to miss the occasional chocolate bar. I stashed away some Carnation Hot Cocoa packs. They keep for two years...not sure after that.
I bought two small drums yesterday for noodles and rice. I think they're about twenty gallon size. They have a metal band that opens on top. I may get another one for breakfast cereals. The lady said they had medicine originally, and that there was a liner bag that just lifted out and then they were rinsed out. So nothing else has been in them with funny smells. I didn't know that they made drums like these or where to get any. They're just like the blue 55 gallon plastic barrels, same material, but about one third the size. I've got a bunch of buckets of stuff, need to go through it. I can use some of the empty buckets in the new greenhouse. Having just a few barrels is better than so many buckets, for me. It will give me more room in here.
I really wished I could find a bunch of the square buckets. They are smaller than the 5 gallon buckets, but I think they would work better for me. I have a small room and the 5 gallon buckets are bulky and in the way. I've got to find another way to organize the small room and be able to get as much as possible in it.
Oh I had just enough noodles to completely fill one of the drums. I'm going to put instant milk in the other one. I think I will get two more. These little barrels are just the right size. They hold about three and a half buckets full, each. It might depend on how tight packed the stuff is as to weight. I realized what a bargain they are. I could put six of these in my Ranger pickup, I think. That would be a good bug out supply, wouldn't it? They're just ideal for storage. Twenty bucks apiece. They have two nice handles, heavy made. I can use a few empty buckets in the greenhouse for growing herbs, peppermint, etc. With four small drums and one big one, I can get my dry goods all put up in the dry. A barrel full of corn flakes and rice crispies might be a good idea. The lady that I'm buying the drums from is getting curious. I told her I was making a solar hot water heater system out of one of them, so I think she was curious what I was making this time. I said, oh, well, I'm just putting noodles and rice in them for winter. Well, they'll look a lot better than a snow ball. She doesn't think I'm quite as weird now. She said, Oh a lot of people do that. I think she was kind of disappointed that I didn't have a new invention that used barrels. 🤣
Love you practical videos. You’re always so positive and encouraging. I just love you! God bless you, AG!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you, AG. Keep teaching, more folks are learning.
Thanks!
As always, Than you for your forum because i read all comments for help with same problems & people are eager to help. Baking soda is wonderful to use on a grease fire. Its out with a quick handful throw on it.😊
Thank you for sharing that. I had forgotten that too about baking soda. Seems I need to refresh my memory on everything that it's good for.
I always look forward to your videos, AG! They are no nonsense and very well thought out. Thank you for putting together such good information that is so helpful. Have a blessed day!
I appreciate that!
I think that having basic utilities independence would be a fantastic thing so we can still have energy to keep our freezers running, our clean water coming from our faucets and showers, some sort of internet (maybe starlink?) and basic sanitation (this is a bit easier if regulations allow you to have a septic tank, even if you only use it as a backup, but I think it's not allowed to have them in many areas, so you might have to do it without letting authorities know, same with water pumps, I hear some places won't even let you collect rain water, which is just bonkers, they won't even let you keep that water just so you can water your garden with it, meaning the water is going to the same place, but you're actually saving resources by not using city water). I hear there's countries already considering a tax on solar panels to make up for lost revenue they'd have from selling you fuel and energy (as if those solar panels didn't already have tax on them).
Valley of the Sun, Arizona. Most (possibly all) of the municipalities, as well as the county, used to actively discourage rainwater collection and use.
This Spring--for the first time--Phoenix Public Library system offered workshops to help people get started, with a significant focus on safety of water storage.
The sessions were filled IMMEDIATELY! Hope they repeat them next year, but begin in January. That may or may not be the best time to begin collecting rainwater (although it traditionally is a month with rain), but it is an excellent time to begin setting up a system so it is ready for use before the heat arrives!
...Teale 🏜️
Don't hook the solar panels to your house system. Put the panels outside to charge up batteries and solar chargers. They cannot tax you on them.
@@AtelierTeale they will tax you for that water 😂
@@tennesseeterri if you are using less from the grid because of it they will tax you at some point.
@@TheSimArchitect I'm sure they will! Probably just for having a catchment system. 🙄
Now, if they would adequately tax EV owners for annual miles driven--and credit those of us with compact, relatively lightweight vehicles (i.e., compact cars) who drive less than 100 miles monthly...😉
Yes, I'm a senior who enjoys the opportunity NOT to drive regularly! 🙃
...Teale 🏜️
This was so helpful, thank you! I do get overwhelmed and this reduces that greatly.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for all your great suggestions. You are so wonderful. May the good Lord watch over you and your family and friends. Peace and Love. 😊
Thanks for sharing blessings.
The great value brand of luncheon meat is only $2.18 and is as good as spam in my opinion. Shelf life is about five years. Brown it well in a skillet and add to beans, potatoes, eggs, ect. I think the great value bacon flavor luncheon meat is even better than Spam bacon. It’s made with bacon but the Spam brand is not.
My uncles spam recipe: (it’s way better than it looks). Brown a can of diced spam very well in a skillet with a diced onion. Add a can of mushroom soup and an undrained can of small peas. Heat well and serve over toast.
Any winter prepping ideas. I live in the north and we sometimes have ice and snow storms. I keep my home fairly cool year round due to breathing issues. Last year my doors and windows froze shut.
Thank you for your video.
Great list.
I recommend taking advantage of any and all local resources you may have. Fish from the ocean, lakes and rivers. Meat like those pretty Moose Granny is always showing off in her yard. Home grown chickens and eggs. Mushrooms can be a great resource. Wild fruits and berries.
Here I can glean the farmers fields after he' s finished with them and harvest any wet spots he may have avoided and left for ME!
Good luck.
Thanks for the tips!
Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new. Jim in California
Ihave variety buckets formy beans, ricesand grains. small bags no more then gallon size mylar bags since my food storage is just for me. I add quinoa, barley other grains for variety. I also have different rices such as basmatti,jasmine and standard white rice
You might try some short or medium grained white rice. It's got a lot more starch in it, so it sticks together. It's what you would get at a Korean restaurant. I prefer it over the Jasmine rice.
:)I love your videos!
Good advice👍
Thanks 👍
Thank you, for this beautiful video.
🙏👍❤️✨🌹🌟🌻💫
You are so welcome!
I've used the stinky jar lid trick I learned from you... 👍🤠
Glad to hear it.
I've found if I put a little bit of baking soda on the pickle lid or whatever lid where I'm reusing the jar and let it sit for a while. Much better on catching odor. Once I forgot and the pancake mix I put in smelled like green olives..😅😅

What about dried potatoes in different forms like flakes and shredded? Will those store for long term?
Vacuum seal the jars with a vacuum sealer and they should last many years. I have dehydrated potatoes that are a year old and still good in canning jars vacuum sealed.
Hungry Jack makes a carton of plain hashbrowns with no oils so they're great for storing, if repackaged in air tight containers. Just watch that whatever you buy there are no added oils bc they will go rancid. I always have potato flakes on hand along with canned potatoes.
@@Vro- Thank you. I'll remember that about the oil
Any that contain ONLY potatoes (no oils,etc) will last a long time. Others will go rancid.
AG has stated before that plain potato flakes will last a long time, but not the flavored varieties because there is fat in them. The fat will cause it to go rancid. Hope that helps.😊
I have had white rice smell weird and get bugs, even after I froze it . I have not had a problem with pasta, though.
Sorry to hear that. I had pinto beans get moldy.
😊👍
Aaron
Ll you g have to do is .ixed the beans for soup varieties.
Fat fingers my goodness, I can spell, lol.
Hi Granny, how long does cider vinegar last unopened?
Hi Sophia.
25+ years. The acidity kills bacteria, in the same way as alcohol in say vodka, does.
Alcohol is also a forever food for that reason.
@@dandycat2204 thanks, dandycat!
How long is the cheese powder good for in a box of Mac and cheese. Will it last a long time with noodles in vac seal bag?
The cheese goes rancid, the noodles last nearly forever.
Are the dry beans purchased from LDS like dry beans from the supermarket or have they been cooked and then dehydrated?
They are like grocery store dry beans. I bought refried beans from them a few years ago, but don't know if those are still available.
@@AlaskaGranny thanks
@@AlaskaGrannyThey stopped carrying them (along with the potato pearls). But Amazon sells the instant refried beans, the brand is called Santiago. I think they’re used in food service.
WATER
WATER
it doesnt need to be clean or sterile just have water.... you can treat it when you need it..... boil...filter.... bleach... however you like. BUT you best have it in ANY condition.
Thanks for sharing.
How long does pasta sauce last? Is it better to buy in a jar or can? Tyvm
Glass jars are always better for storing acidic food like fruit/tomatoes. (acid can't react with the glass)
I’m not sure but I used a can of hunts that was 3 years past best used by. I was leery at first but can was good and there was no bad smell. Still tasted good
Acid food can eat through cans also tomato products can get a metallic flavor from the can. I had a can of tomato soup that got shuffled into a corner of my shelf. It eventually ate through the can and made a big mess.
For overnight oats, should they be the instant ones?
Use plain old fashioned rolled oats, not quick oats. Quick oats will get too soggy.
@@AlaskaGranny Thank you!
I love using steel cut oats. They still have a chewy texture plus the crunch of whatever you add to the jar.
Didn't know that kidney beans go bad. Can you still use as animal feed?
It's not that they go bad, it's because they have a natural toxin and need to be cooked/prepared safely. 🤗❤️🙏
Is 2 years too long to leave the beans in there packaging? Unfortunately I just put them in a bucket 😩
You did the best you could, don't worry. The bucket will help a lot. One tip to soften old beans, add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda per pound beans and soak for 4 hours.
popcorn... my fav snack
Honey and salt, last forever and have so many uses. But remember that hydrogen peroxide and white vinegar lose potency after being opened. Slowly but its there.
I don't know if this is helpful to anybody, but if you guys struggle to get groceries ,cuz a lot of us have really tight tight budgets ,and have to use food pantries. This is another way you can also build up your prepper pantry as as well. You have the pantry that you use and your prepper pantry and if you're struggling and you actually have to go to a food pantry this is a way to build up both your pantry that use everyday and your prepper pantry. There are a lot of pantries that give out meat fish lots of fruits and vegetables quick oats white rice beans a whole bunch of different things depending on what state you're in school so it's depending on what they give and if you have children that are in diapers a lot of the Pantry's to give diapers so you can have that as well and some also give baby wipes and sanitary napkins for older females for that time of the month also some give adult underwear it depends on where you go and what resources are available to you and you could always ask like is there a place where I can get adult diapers or feminine pads or baby diapers and baby wipes there's always going to be someone there to help you and this is also a way for you to use what you need right now and set some off to the side as well hopefully this helps somebody and pantries give a lot of shelf-stable food you'll be able to stock up on those things as well
I am considering on making some feminine pads, as the ones I normally buy, are starting to irritate my skin. So, I am thinking because of the cotton shortage, they may be introducing something else to it to make them.
When they gave extra food stamps each time i got stamps i got the basic 7, beans white rice potato flakes pasta oats flour n salt. Then id get groceries n 6 extra cans n put the 6 in seperzte boxes to b easily found by intruders looking for food so they would think they got it all. Then id eat off my 2 years dehydrated food carefully hidden. I can make flour from acorns my oak produces n dandelion green salads n cat tails. Theres an apple tree that hangs over fence by mail boxes n mt walnut tree produces walnuts to eat bake or sell. When i get groceries i also get 30 organic oranges 1 a day is all u need n a jar of TANG to store. Your brain needs equivalent of 2 eggs dsily so i get 30 eggs n 30 waffles waffles contain 1 egg. I fry eff n put on waffle. That'll do. My naybors used their extra stamps for soda pop pizza n hungry man dinners i tried to teach them to cook n frugality but got nowhere. 😊i swap malnuts w a naybors eggs. I burn all trash n woodburner all garbage is composted. All plastic foes to Walmart to recycle n all metal usually cans rinsed n that n alum cans go to junk yard. Thus no garbage bill good for me n environment.i get 1 sunday newspaper. Remove all coupons n swap the funnies i wrap gifts in n tie w string after reading paper i wrap round broomstick n secure w metal coathanger that gives me 52 free firelogs for woodburner n ashes r composted. ⁰when coathanger is brittle it goes n junk.
I LOVE your ideas, and the way you make sure you get your protein and Vitamin C! And you make use of everything available!! I have made newspaper logs. They work great. Even better if you soak in water, then tie with string, and dry in the sun. Better fire, and burn longer!
And your sneaky way to keep your food hidden is great...I'm kind of doing the same thing.
😎👍🏻
Make sure weevil's can't get into your food
Oats don’t last long, actually. After one year, they taste rancid, even in a glass jar.
It seems that your oats were not completely dry if they went rancid. Make sure your jar and lid are completely dry before using, too.
I've used the stinky jar lid trick I learned from you... 👍🤠
Please, tell me! I can't get pickle smell or salsa smell out of my lids and have tried just about everything to remove the strong residue smells. Spaghetti sauce residue is tolerable for pasta to be stored, I guess. Thanks.
Can't get the smell out but I just know I don't want to use that lid😂
