One thing that seems to be missed is keeping a stock of high-quality multivitamin tablets. Yes - we all know fresh food and a varied diet is best...of course. I like the Solgar brand.
It’s not missed just not mentioned 😊. I did cover vitamins in video little white back though . We need a back up of vitamins amongst dehydrated veg etc . 😊
We have a LOT put away, along with beans, cans(tins) of food, home-canned meats, dehydrated foods and even other grains, but we still bought 25 lbs (11.33kg) more and when someone offered me 2 lbs,(.9 kg), I took it. I also bought more grain. (I have quinoa, buckwheat, oatmeal, grits and cornmeal, barley, some amaranth, and millets.)I have pasta like crazy, but you can't beat rice for its versatility and storage.
You're right,, it will either be in short supply,, or pricey, either way it's best to stock up now on rice, pastas, and plain instant potatoes, as these are good high carb fillers. Add any one of these along with canned or frozen veggies, and a protein,, and you have a meal.😉
Our rice in lidl went up 20% in 1 go! Was 99c per kg, now €1.19. No doubt when I go in tomorrow it'll be up more. Even aldi milk chocolate 200g (I use for baking) used to be 79c then crept up bit by bit. Now it's jumped from €1.59 to €1.75! So over double the price
I have about 30 pound in store, we don't use that much but if potato crop fail again this year will need it. But thanks for timely reminder.With draught in Spain many other things will be short this year
You are right. Shortages will create price increases. The wealthy nations will absorb that. The poor nations will not be able to compete as their resources are slim and needed goods few. We worried about sending vaccines to Africa when they needed clean water and mosquito nets. Now we are pouring endless money into a stalemated war rather than work toward peace; a peace that would give us resources to grow more food, mitigate famine and treat disease. The powerful truly have things backwards. Thanks Ana!
@@timbuktupond apparently you rinse the rice put in vacuum flask put in appropriate amount of boiling water and salt if wanted close flask and leave for 3 hours or so till desired softness. That's what I read haven't tried it yet though
@@timbuktupond It's really easy. I have a 470 ml flask with a wide mouth. I put 1/3rd cup of rice into it & top it up with freshly boiled water. Leave white rice for 45 minutes & brown rice for 1 hour 30 mins. This also works with spaghetti - same process but leave for just 20 minutes. Pasta shapes like penne & shells don't really come out cooked. Don't use a flask with a narrow mouth designed for tea or coffee. It can be a nightmare to get the food out once cooked. I hope this helps.
I vacuum sealed about another 8kg the other day. I probably have about 60lb of rice, need to do a proper inventory, I have more lists everywhere! I only ever bought uncle bens but switched to lidl brand about 1 or 2 yrs ago, no difference and huge savings. Also have about 80lbs of flour. Went into Dealz yesterday (poundland) and a pot noodle went from €1 to €1.50 in a matter of weeks!! Supermarkets have been given a deadline here to get prices down, we'll see if that happens
Thank u Ana ,for the warning , We dont eat a lot of rice but nice to have it in ready ,we do eat lots of tuna tho ,so deffinatly be topping up although I just done my weekly shop ,allready so will pic up as and when ,
😊😊 many people don’t eat too much but as a very cheap carb at the moment worth buying some . Of course all depends what everyone’s prepping for 😊 I keep forgetting bad assume people prep for same reasons but they don’t . If rice is not your thing than maybe pasta , still lasts for ages 😊😊
@@AnasFoodLifestyle we do enjoy rice with curry or chilli ,but eat a lot of pasta ,I make our own pasta tuna salads, ect ,but deffo adding rice ,pasta tuns to my list ,
@@AnasFoodLifestyle We've been paying a seperate price for white rice on our tak-out menu items for the past year. 😶 (it used to be included). Cheers! 🍷
hello dear Ana, how are you? hope you're doing good 👍 yes, I'm worried about rice shortage... saw it in the newspaper. i want to buy a bulk of it and other grain. it's good we have suppliers that sell a private buyers at surtain price base. still need to stuck up on medical stuff and first aid items, wow it's overwhelming ... how do you do it? Anyway, please take care God bless you
Hi , I’m not too bad , thank you 😊 we can buy big bags or rice but it is cheaper to buy smaller bags , go figure 🤷♀️ you just do it bit by bit when you get a chance . Prepping is a journey not a destination 😊
Barley , quinoa, couscous and beans are also a preppers staples . Rice is far cheaper thought , also us not buying it here in Uk , doesn’t mean is going back to third world countries ?? It’s here already !!

That's the brand of vitamins that I use. Have stocked up on some vitamins, but I need to get a few more.
I buy Basmati rice, started vacuum sealing the packs last year as this is a branded type.
The only thing l have seen in ASDA which has not price changed for years is.......Idahoan Perfect Mash😉.
I bought about 3 years worth back when 10kg of basmati was 10.99 in lidl. I only eat rice maybe twice a week so I didn't need massive amounts 😊

You nee me to plebe prepared , growing seasons are not same this year so need to be prepared 😊
Hey Ana, I watched a video stating that food prices overall will spike from June onwards. Love ❤️ you xx
Hi 😊 oh dear , there is no stopping them . I will do a video soon as apparently supermarkets now doing it deliberately 🙄

The certainly do have it backwards !
Rice also provides protein. I cook mine in a Thermos flask to save on energy.
Sounds like a great idea. How do you do it?

@@ronnies462 Thanks for sharing, I will have to try this as it is a great way to save on energy.

That’s a good idea . Supermarkets are deliberately gouging the prices , the need to told or even fined for bad practices
Lidl 10kg basmati rice has increased 50%. Same online for 20kg bags.
Don't forget risotto rice, Very versatile.
Thank u Ana ,for the warning ,

It could instead be used as a barter item for you.
Insightful vid - TY, Ana!🎉 Let's hope rice never becomes a form of currency.😶
Tina , it just might 🥲hope not thought but but it could be only way our family could be a millionaire 🤣

I am curious what type of rice is best to consume?🤔✌️
Brown rice is better nutritionally but basic white rice is a long term keeper 😊hope that helps
Parboiled rice. It's resistant starch which your gut loves and stores very well.
aparently uk only give 3yr life of stuff
how lomg can unopen expired oats ok for?
Up to 2 years if in right conditions in an airtight container. Add an oxygen absorber and can last up to 25 years
Yep , totally agree😊
Why not stock up on barley, quinoa, couscous, polenta, and buckwheat instead? Leave some rice for third world countries!
Barley , quinoa, couscous and beans are also a preppers staples . Rice is far cheaper thought , also us not buying it here in Uk , doesn’t mean is going back to third world countries ?? It’s here already !!
But if its already in the country it doesn't make a difference!
