I hope you enjoy this tour of my food storage room! What is an item you *always* have on hand in your home?
(PS yes, I’m out of breath 😂 that’s what happens when you’re 9 months pregnant).
You are awesome girl!
Baked beans 😊
Wow I never knew that about olive oil either. I would suggest giving some of it an refried beans to a local soup kitchen or homeless shelter
i noticed you out of breath! i was totally the same way when i was pregnant with my youngest son- he was 9 lbs at birth sitting right on my lungs/rib cage!! uhhh.. the joys of pregnancy but end result definitely out weighs everything!!
Open the can of refried beans and separate that into freezer bags and freeze them laying flat.
You should buy an alarm for the freezer. They are cheap and alert you if the temperature changes or the power goes out. 1/2 cow is an investment
Thank you for mentioning that, we had our deep chest freezer go out one time and probably 20-30 pounds of meat went bad. Don’t want that to happen again.
We have one that alerts our phone. It’s saved us a handful of times.
We also installed a baby lock. Just in case something shifts and the door doesn’t seal correct.
Facts, I lost 60 1 pound sausage packs, and 40 pounds of ground beef, because my brother unplug one of my freezers!
I looked at those freezer alarms, a month and a half ago, but did not get them then! But now I do have them, they work well, mine are set to a max of 32 degrees, you can hear them from anywhere in the house!
100% yes, my brother and his wife spent an entire weekend butchering hogs and got all the meat into the freezer only to find that the seal was broken 2 days later that it had all gone bad. Now everything is alarmed and alerts their phone if the temperature changes
@@Coveredinbees93 man that sucks.
I highly recommend the toddler lock too. Just as extra insurance.
A piece of advice: correct overstock mistakes right away. Donate those beans! Get them to someone who will use them and you’ll have more space to store what you actually need. Same thing for the olive oil and nuts. I know it’s a chunk of money but better to do it now so they don’t just end up spoiled.
While this is definitely one way to handle what she considers overstock. There are other ways to safely store and use that food for her family.
a piece of advice don’t be a fucking know it all start your own channel if you wanna give you opinion
@@mush3199 freeze it or dehydrate it
You could always open those refried beans and bag them up into smaller portions and freeze them. I keep all my nuts in the freezer to keep them from getting rancid. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I’m in San Antonio, Tx and we eat a lot of breakfast tacos particularly potato egg and refried bean and cheese in a flour tortilla with salsa. They’re great for breakfast or dinner. Refried bean and taco meat chalupas are great too. They go over well at parties are are cheap to make. Just messy to eat.
Growing up on an almond orchard, we had large amounts of nuts too. My mom always kept them in zip locks in the freezer and they stayed good forever. In fact when my parents moved to assisted living 2 years ago, they had a bunch of frozen pecans and walnuts in the freezer. Lord know how old they were, but they still tasted great!
Idea for some of your beans: I use it to thicken soups (like chili, black bean soup, chicken tortilla, etc). The family never knows but it adds good protein and makes it more filling!
That's a great idea and once you open the can you can freeze it in small containers and pull it out when you want to use it!
I came here to say the same thing! Beans are great additions to soups and chili!
But way too many beans. Keep 1 can and donate the rest.
Love the preparedness! as a mom, food security is always on our minds! It's important to be ahead of the game!
Same ere
So true
Well, you could add fresh herbs to the olive oil and freeze them. If you store them in ice trays you can pop them out as needed. Or freeze and put into freezer bags to keep fresh. This way you dont have to worry so much about wasting the oil. Its the opening and not storing in a cool, dark and dry place that place that causes it to go rancid quicker.
You could donate to a food pantry the beans?
I love how organized your stockpile is!!
This was an amazing video. You've done really well stocking it Tabitha. You could always donate the refried beans and oil. You can also freeze some of your nuts if you don't use them quick enough. You've done an amZing job. Also, having so much soups and chef boyardee stuff you don't have to use water. That's easy for kids also. Thank you for sharing this. I loved it. I want to start one soon.
I second freezing the nuts!
Highly recommend the Berkey!!!!
We have one and we love it. It’s easy to clean, the filters last a long time. The water tastes SO GOOD out of it too! Better then bottled water or from the fridge filter. We use significantly less bottled water now. I use Berkey water for everything. My 7yo keeps it full for us but adding pitchers of water to it - showing how easy it is to keep full and fill up.
Agree
Yes I was waiting on a prepper pantry video from you! I love to see it I can't wait until I have a house and extra storage so I can build up my pantry even more! Great video ❤️
Loved the pantry tour, great organization. The only thing I would suggest is to not have paper products or cardboard items directly on the floor in case of a random flooding situation of ANY kind.
When I was a kid our backyard sloped down on one side and we had a walk out basement. My dad put cement steps from the patio down to the basement door but the drainage was not sufficient and our basement flooded 3 inches of water.
A few years ago (as an adult) I had a pipe leak behind a wall in the basement and a large area of ceiling, wall and floor (carpet) got very wet. I have also heard of hot water heaters leaking. Just some cautious thoughts.
Love how prepared you are! Been looking fwd to this video!
Thank you for sharing your storage. Until recently I didn’t know prepping was a thing as it’s not a common practice in Australia. It’s something I’m keen to do and I love that you do both grocery store and home canned items. Very inspiring ❤️
LOVED THIS VIDEO! The raw reality you bring to the internet is refreshing!
You guys are so prepared! Gotta get my prepper pantry into order
I love watching ur videos. I find so much motivation in them. Thanks!
I am from Puerto Rico. We bought a berkey filter few years ago, when the pandemic was starting . One of the best things we have bought, ever!!! Get one and u wont regret! 🙏🏾✨
We are looking at building our food storage!!! We are looking at having a full pantry in our next house. In our last house we had a big pantry and loved it!!! We had extra space in it. I love the idea of being able to keep stuff in the bags they come in!!! We don’t use olive oil daily as I’ve made a mistake when cooking high heat with olive oil. We go thru sauces so stocking up on that could be a good idea. Make a label for your food storage!!! Nuts don’t last long, I learnt that as well. We go thru eggs.
I was excited to see this video up as I've been looking forward to it. We buy bulk from Sam's and Costco as a family of 9 but don't really have room to store a lot of extra. I would like to start stocking up for emergencies so this was good to see. I would have liked to hear some about how you keep track of what needs to get eaten up as you bring more on. It's a lot to manage. Side note - Whenever my husband's mom was sick when he was growing up, his dad made spam for dinner.
I have a Berkey and love it! We have really high iron levels in our water, you can see it if you're running hot water, and it is such a relief to be able to know our water is safe to drink! Plus it takes out bacteria and viruses and pharmaceuticals and so much more. The water also tastes really great my 1-year-old loves it
This is great! Way to go 👏👏 Having a food stock is important but I'm definitely finding it hard to manage. I'm learning as I go because we don't want to throw out food that expires. I think you can open those beans and put them in Ziploc bags to freeze. So you have smaller portions when you want to eat some. Good luck with the beef liver. We tried it and had to give the rest to my FIL. He loved it! We couldn't choke it down 🙈
When you open your refried beans, you can divide them up and freeze them in smaller quantities.
Great video! We just got a Big Berkey and we love it for our family of 7! SO much better than refilling our old water pitcher filter multiple times a day and it’s also good for emergency preparedness.
Love the storage room, and great video.
Loved this vid! Congratulations on your new baby!
Not a strange video at all! I’m slowly working on food storage too so I loved seeing this!! And we love our Berkey!
The Amazing Tabitha Kelley!!!! 💖💖💖
Thank you Tabitha! I was one of those excited about seeing how you manage your extended pantry! It looks great and it was so helpful to hear your honest insight on what works and what doesn’t.
We have a Berkey and love it! I think it’s a great solution for an emergency, but you will also get so much use from it every day.
You look amazing and I am sending up prayers for you and the baby as you get closer to the birth! 💛🤗💛
I have canned about 700 or more jars since August. Favorites have been spiced peaches, roast beef, beef stew. Canning a lot of our half beef is one way I'm guarding against power outage.
Staples we keep on hand : thick cut oats, dried cranberries, brown sugar, flour , gf grains for me to make flour, pb, oil, pasta, pasta sauce (from our garden), tomato paste, beans , tuna, salmon. Lots more than that too. Powdered whole milk.
U guys did awesome on your food and misc storage. Glad u shared this with us all...
Yay I love pantry tours. Therapeutic almost to watch lol. And I just ordered the mixed box. Thank you for the code! :)
Thank you for sharing the do's and the do not's! :) Very helpful indeed. I overbought nuts once too and just used the vacuum sealer and put them in the extra freezer so at least that prolonged them a lot.
Hey Tabitha. I really enjoyed the video. You have done a great job!! Love ya ❤️❤️
Absolutely love your content sis! We’ve done some of the same things as it relates to stockpiling cans of beans and things that no one else eats 😂 I will say that you could open the can and dehydrate them. You can them repurpose them and make a bean powder mix to add it to rice or make veggie burgers… $1 for 7 lbs was a steal and that was great thinking to purchase it. Sometimes you just have to think outside of the box. If you Mylar bag it with oxygen absorbers then you have a longer shelf life as well.
So excited for this video!
Highly recommend the Berkey. We got the biggest size during pandemic for our family of 6, because we used to go fill 5 gallon jugs at the water store and it got tricky. We did the math and it will pay for itself in a year, and I now have one less errand every week. The whole family says the water is better than what we used to buy too. Highly recommend!
We are a family of 6. I was going through cases of bottled water. I invested in a Berky and bought the kids reusable water bottles, and I won’t go back. Sure we keep a few cases when we go on trips just to have on hand. But I feel good about the empty plastic bottles not going back into the environment. So it’s definitely a win win. Win for my pocket book and win for the environment. I enjoyed your tour of storage food. I think this day and age it’s good to have extra on hand especially when you have a bigger family.
We love our Berkey! It takes out the yucky stuff, but leaves in the good things! I was blown away by the taste difference as well!!! It tastes so much better!! I encourage you to get one if you are able to!! Great video!!
When you open a big can of refried beans always remember to put them in family sizes portions and freeze them, they freeze well after opened.
Hello Tabitha! I am so excited for this pantry tour! Wahoooooooooo
Wow your food storage room is like a dream!! I wish I had the space for it.
We have an Aquarain filter system and love it! The filters are washable and reusable! Which you don't have to wash them for a long time. But we liked that aspect of it. 😊
Omg this is perfect it’s exactly what I had in mind I will save this video to show to my partner ❤️ have a great day hun x
Great job! I think we all learn as we stockpile what will last and what won't last. I think you have a great start. I do not have a basement to store items in so I am super jealous! We have several items in our pantry at all times, rice, pasta, coffee, several canned items and so much more.
I loved your video! It’s fun to see what other people stock up on that you yourself don’t think about especially when it’s on sale!
You have a great setup! Thanks for sharing!
Food storage and grocery haul videos are my absolute favorite
Loved the tour of your food storage Awesome set up lm slowly getting mine started Cheers from Linda in Australia 🍹😊
Great video... thoughts for using the refried beans. I use a huge amount of refried beans when I make burritos. Each quarter I make a lot of burritos to be frozen. That way when we are on the run, or one child needs to eat quickly and I haven't made anything we have an easy lunch or dinner. It saves us alot on not eating out, because it's quick and easy when you need something. Thought I would share.
Thanks for sharing your lessons learned! Very helpful!
Thank you amazing mama 😘I have been food prepping since my kids were toddlers my eldest is 51 years old, I have 3 kids and have their own families . I instilled these practices to them ,and thank God they won’t get hungry ever !
I have a Berkey that I have had for 14 yrs. I have the Berkey light and have had no issues ever and the light still works! We have only changed the filters a few times. We originally bought it because we had well water and it tasted funky but we have city water now and we still use it. It’s an awesome thing in times of trouble or to keep from buying bottled water. We fill our cups from it every day. So, yes, buy one, you won’t be sorry!
It's helpful to see how others organize for ideas. It can get overwhelming. Thank you.
Watching food storage vids well any you can get some real good ideas. I still like to stock on somethings we are empty nesters now. But I do have 4 grandkids 3 daughters. 2 grandkids come in the morning before school. I agree with the oil and the retried beans lol. But you could donate them to a food bank or soup kitchen. I now put expiration dates on top of the cans any packaging where I can see it up front. Even a package of cold meat in the fridge I put the date right up front even on the eggs. I like the 6 bean mix open tin rinse add to chilli conquer or anything your adding beans. Better then just one kind.
Love it!! Thank you for sharing!
You could always donate the extra beans to a shelter. Once you open a can you could divide into smaller amounts and freeze. As for the canned pork, it's good shredded/cooked into scrambled eggs!
Great storage room. I wish we had a bigger place to store up extras for my family. Thank you for taking your time to share.
On the refried beans....once you open a can, you can freeze individual portions..in Ziploc baggies...freeze take out as needed
I can relate to you
I'm a mom of 5 married for 21yrs and I also homeschool my kids, I've been homeschooling my kids for a long time.
I'm glad I found your channel, looking forward to some great ideas that will help me.
This is so awesome! I love this! ❤️
I love the video💜💜 Thank you so much tabitha💜💜
Looks great! For the refried beans, make hummus by thinning with lemon juice and powdered garlic or other spices. We, too, got 1/2 cow from a local farmer and it's been a great investment.
we always have canned mushrooms and frozen turkey burgers. One time I kept buying bottles of salad dressing, sale, and several of them went expired before we could use them up. It happens sometimes. Thank you for sharing the ups and downs of food storage :)
This is amazing!! I would love to do this one day. I think everything is perfectly organized. Great job!! I also live in Michigan. :)
We got a burkey at the beginning of covid when we could not find water at the store. We totally don’t regret buying one. We have the three gallon and we fill it up about every day and a half. Right now we are a family of four soon to be five. I would get the big one for your family and or put different kids on burkey duty. We just keep a gallon jug behind ours. If you get a smaller one the. You will just have to fill it more often which really isn’t that big a deal. I would also buy extra filters. We are using the four black and the four white filters. We also have some extra filters.
Awesome video ! I have also learned as I go .. I did some major panic buying in the middle of the pandemic from when it first started and so I find myself going thru that food now getting it out the way for the food that we will actually eat with a smile 😂😂✌
I love food storage videos. This is a good one.
Your videos are so helpful!! You look gorgeous girl!! 🥰Love you 💓💓💓
Aww thank you so much!!! ❤️
You did a great job, that's a lot of work keeping it organized
Definitely use that vacuum sealer, it keeps whatever you properly seal inside fresh for ages in the freezer. I tested it and 12 months later, the salmon honestly was perfect, not an ounce of freezer burn, and nobody who ate it had a clue how long I had it in the freezer. It is worth the price of the bags.
Awesome video! I just found your channel today and this is amazing! I can fruits, vegetables, sauces, soups and meat. Typically in a year I will can 1000+ jars. My babies are all grown and I have 7 grandbabies, I can for all of them also or I allow them to shop in my food stockpile. I am excited to watch your other videos!
For the refried beans you can either donate them, open and freeze them in ziploc bags or as someone else mentioned maybe premake some bean and cheese burritos for the freezers that you can pull out for a quick lunch or snack 🌯 Just some ideas. 😊 you look so beautiful, can't wait to see your sweet baby boy soon 👶 💙 I have a stockpile downstairs also. We are a family of 4 so I only have one large metal shelf for food items and one large metal shelf for household (paper towels, laundry stuff etc) and a freezer. It all comes in handy and makes my life easier.
Absolutely get a Berkey filter you’ll never regret it! I’ve had mine for about 7 years. Get as large of one as you can in case you forget to fill it during the day and the kiddos drink it all! Stock up on filters though they were hard to get during the pandemic
Thanks for being real and showing us thing you wouldn’t choose again. It is helpful to remember when buying bulk
As far as the refried beans goes there are a ton of ideas. Bean burritos, tacos, dips and fried bean cakes with all the fixings. But, there are alot of different soups to make also. The beans also are gut protective similiar to probiotics. They are full of nutrients also.
It’s like I’m watching a video of MY basement lol. We have a very similar set up and stock basically the same things! Love it.
Great job organizing your food! We received a large can of refried beans awhile back. We made a Refried Bean Soup that was delicious. You can make it without adding meat or I added some shredded chicken. If you want to use some of those refried beans in a soup you can freeze the remainder in individual serving size. Just an idea 😉
The refried beans--Tex-Mex casseroles! Thicken soup. Add to meatloaf/patties.
SPAM--slice, fry. Great with eggs. Or mashed potatoes.
Fried, cubed, add to fried rice, fry pineapple chunks in same pan to deglaze. P.F. Changs sweet&sour Mango sauce. It's a Hawaiian vacation w/o the airport aggravation.
Just a piece of advice that I just learned myself. When you open those big cans of refried beans put what you don't use right away into meal size freezer bags and freeze them. That way it doesn't go bad and you have several different meals with them. Also I bulk up my ground beef with refried beans and other shredded up vegetables, it adds nutrients to the meal and no one except you know it's in there. It makes the meal more filling and way more nutritious.
Put the nuts in smaller freezer bags and freeze them if you can. They will stay good for a lot longer. Your storage is amazing Tabitha. You are very prepared and able to take care of your family for a long time, if you had to rely on this only. Some of the things like the oil and refried beans, consider donating to a soup kitchen or food bank before the expiration date.
What an awesome storage section!
Next time you go to a party you should make a 7 layer bean dip. You can make a big one in a casserole dish.Then you can start using some of those refried beans 😆
My son loves bean dip I will make a 7 layered bean dip with our items. Thanks for the idea
Tabetha, I love you. I appreciate this so much.
Love your variety of soups canned items
Also the proone water filters, if your saving it just for prepper water. The filter doesn’t have to stay submerged in water. You can dry the filter and use at a different time!
✨GOALS!!✨
Loved this video ❤️
I've never shown our full supply either.. yet.🤣🙈 I feel like our supply matches yours! Literally, even most of the exact products.🤭 I'm working on transitioning to more home canned foods as well. Like you, we have shelving for our appliances, two additional freezers and also four shelves of food. Our shelves are near identical to yours but we bought the black plated steel.🤣 You've done a tremendous job! Clean, accessible, wonderfully stocked beautiful food storage!🎉 Great job!!!🤗
Hi this is sharon I just wanted to say thank you so much for your channel and your video and i just that you have a awesome stock pile i think it's amazing great job with everything that you and your husband did together ok as always stay safe and blessed may God continue to bless you and your family and your home until your next video
The Tulip brand Spam is actually really good! I bought a case at Costco and our family loved it 😍
Great video. We have extra stuff on hand. Our basement looks about like yours. Great job.
Hi just recently started watching your channel. I love it!♥️👏👍🏼 A tip for you, freezing your nuts adds a huge shelf life. I've frozen some nuts for at least 3 years or longer. I bake a lot so not sure how long they will last because I use them up by 3 years. Make sure you wrap them well in plastic wrap and then put them in freezer bags. They taste as fresh as when you first purchased them. Hope this is helpful.😊♥️
I bought a Berkey last year and couldn’t live without it now. I highly recommend it!
Mid Thumb of Michigan here! Just happened to come across your channel today - no basement for us but have lots of extra storage space for all the items we keep on hand.
I just bought a Alexapure & love the water! It taste so clean & fresh. Highly recommend
You can put the big time in portion sizes and freeze them, you can also freeze nuts ie walnuts, almonds any unprocessed nuts, and they taste just the same as they did. 💞
Yes! Was going to say this too
Berkey's are nice to have but when thinking long term you have to have plenty of replacement filters. I suggest a rainwater catcher outside. We have one. It's amazing. And it doesn't hurt to have life straws and water purification tablets on hand in case a SHTF scenario and you have to bug out.
Bless your heart you are an inspiration
Loved this video !
