    I am a single grandma who has built a pantry and freezer this way. My daughter recently moved from WI to Texas. I was able to tell her to shop my pantry and refrigerator for picnic meals for on the road traveling, then I was able to give her 75 percent of my monthly grocery budget to help her stock her kitchen in her new home.

    My mom got Covid last year and was in a coma for 2 month. We also had a death in the family at the same time so my parents house had a rotating door for almost 4 months. She stocks up just like this and I was able to take over making meals for the plethora of family coming and going the whole time. Aside from grocery shopping for fresh (milk, produce, bread, etc.) her pantry sustained us for those 4 months easily. Disaster planning doesn’t always mean end of the world but rather real life happening.

We've always had a stockpile of sale items and it really helped us save money for our first house. I remember my friends thinking it was hilarious lol we were really young and every penny counted!

    I keep a permanent marker in my pantry. Before anything gets put on a shelf, I write the expiry date on the front label so I can read it easily. My eyes are getting too old to see some of those date Stamos. Instead of buying cans of tomato paste or tomato sauce, I keep tomato powder. A little powder and water can make paste, sauce, tomato soup, etc and I can control the amount of salt. The powder takes up very little space compared to all those cans.

    I wish I had the storage space for canned goods that you have. I have a small pantry, not nearly enough space. Since I am a family of one, I don’t need a coat closet, so I put shelves in it to hold small appliances and large pots for canning and soup making! I have a huge walk-in master closet. I added more shelves in there to hold all of my home canned food. I just started canning meat and meals in a jar. I still need more space, so I’m watching organization videos one after another to get ideas.

Makes it super easy to see what's in it. Also found a shelf on Amazon that perfectly fits 4 boxes per shelf and goes all the way to the ceiling. I've got almost 30 boxes on one shelf. Neat and clean and easy to find everything.

    I'm team: "make my own bone broth."
    I've found it can be a lot more cost effective in many ways.
    Soup bones either at the grocery store or butcher can be pretty cheap generally.
    Get like, oh, eight of the good sized beef bones, a bunch of veggie peels, tops, herbs. Roaster pan. I use a counter top one that holds 28 quarts. You can definitely use a big ol' stock pot. I love the roaster because you can set it and forget it. Add appropriate amount of water, bout halfway or 3/4. Simmer 24 hours, generally takes care of itself.
    Instead of a store bought carton of bone broth that can run anywhere from 4-6 dollars a 12 to 16 ounce carton, for the low price of oh say, $20.00-$25.00 for bones and time that you don't even have to babysit it, you can get upwards of 3-4 gallons of broth, depending on how much your wanting to make.
    Same premise for chicken. Save those bones, save veggie scraps and getting past their prime vegatables.
    Simmer, bone broth.
    Strain, freeze.
    Lasts nicely for two years in the freezer. If you want to pressure can the broth? Years of broth at your fingertips, for a super low cost.
    Hope this helps! 😇😁

    Oh my gosh! I really do love how organized your food pantry and food storage is! You have worked so hard on this and it shows. My own personal food storage has shrunk down somewhat as my family size has decreased. I am down to only 4 people living at home full-time, but my 18yo son also works nearly full-time so is not always home for meals. Almost every Sunday my daughter-in-law, oldest son, and grandson come over for Sunday dinner. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Sunday's! Now, if I could only get that middle son of mine over it would be perfect! Kids grow up and move out and you have to adjust to that. It is so hard! My pantries are fully stocked with the things those of us who live here need and enjoy. I still have 2 deep freezers as I store things for my grown kids if they should ever need a freezer meal or something out of it.

    Thank you for your posts on your home grocery store........I really like the idea of storing your extra pasta in pails. Thanks for all your storage and buying tips. Also, your storage area is sooooo organized. You mentioned the grape jelly....I use 1 bottle of grape jelly and 1 bottle of Baby Ray's BBQ sauce with meatballs cooked in the crockpot. It's always a hit. From Ottawa, Ontario

    I was we had cased lot sales. But I do buy in bulk, when I can afford it. When I move into my own house I will have a dry storage room. I hadn't thought of a 6-12 month dry storage room. Thinking of a room for deep freezers, & a microwave. I suffer from OCD!! So, I'm going to be ordering boxes to stock my supplies into my dry storage shelves. My girl bought one of those things to suck the air out of a meat package, when its being repacking it.

    A great tip for you (if you have the space to set up the shelves) - if you allow walking space on the back side of the shelves, it will be easier to stock new items in the back and keep older ones in the front. And labels help your helpers put things where you want them. Peace

I have been watching your channel and have been inspired to make room in our loft to do our emergency pantry. We live in a rural area but I am enlisting my family who live near Sam's and Costco to help us out. We do live on a fixed income. Thanks for inspiration. Blessing from the Tiny House in Texas.

    Something I do when I am trying to stay within my budget I normally write down each price of everything even down to the exact price with a calculator too with weighing them like fruits and vegetables. Sometimes it's helpful for the register people if they don't know the price about something I can show them, so it's been helpful. Then I have it to know what my prices are as long as I save my list, it's been such a great way to always see the prices for many years. Thanks for sharing this and I love all you're channel and thoughts, it's been so helpful keep up the great work and many blessings!

I converted one of our closets in our bedroom (we have 2) into a pantry and I try to keep it well stocked. To everyone who doesn't think they can achieve a well stocked pantry, think outside the box!

    To make inventory easy with rotation I take a sharpie and write the year on the side of the can or jar. Sample if I bought can that said best by June 12,22, I write 22 on it. 23 or 24. Then family know use the smallest number first. It makes it easier to see and keep straighten.

    I have a stocked pantry this size also...but what I do differently is I take a black sharpie pen and write on the front of every can/jar/box/bag.. the best by/use by date on it...that way I can clearly see the dates. Makes it so much easier to grab the ones needed to be used first and keep the stock rotated...so many times nowadays the manufacturers are putting the use by dates on places on the product that make it almost impossible to find or even read....once I write the date on the front of the product, I never have to look for it again.....and yes, it is part of my OCD, it is a tiny bit time consuming to write the date on every pantry product, but it works for me_______:>)

I have watched your channel for years and it has helped my family so many times. Your advice and what you teach has been an inspiration. My favorite saying you have taught me is p.o.p. progress over perfection, and I live by it now, so much less stress now. I have also learned to meal plan better, shop from my shelves, then look at the ads, then finalize my meal plan if needed. I have also started exploring other options as far as I know can some of my own foods and dehydrate other foods. I'm paying more attention to the things that we like in our home and not just buying things because they seem like a good deal but then it goes to wast. This is also help me to cook more from scratch and not do so much prepackaged products. And I utilize my freezer so much more LOL. Thank you for all you do and everything you're teaching you are an inspiration to so many people Kimmy🥰

    If at all possible can you educate us on best til, use by, best before and items with just a date on them. I'd love to know thier approximate shelf life. There are times when items just get moved to unexpected areas of the pantry and you look at a date and wonder if its fresh still? I hate wasting food, makes me feel like a waster. But, I'm definitely a "better be safe than sorry" kinda a person. I've been stockpiling for about 4 years now definitely always a work in progress. But I have to say well worth it. I've learned you just never know what's around the corner. And having food on hand is one less worry. Thank you for your vlogs, support and encouragement we all get further because of it. Bless you All....

      A lot of times you just have to check. I needed to make some cornbread for a friend last night and pulled my buttermilk out of the back of the fridge. The date was in July. But buttermilk is by nature curdled anyway right? So I poured a tiny bit into a bowl and tasted it. It tasted like it always does! So I used it. I only use buttermilk for cornbread and homemade ranch dressing.
