If mice are a problem get peppermint oil and put it on cotton balls where your food is stored. You may have to re apply to the cotton ball every 3-4 weeks.
I have what my kids called the "stinky closet". I sprayed the floor, under side of shelf, wood trim in & around the frame in that pantry with that mint spray. 5 yrs & it's still effective.😊
#1 don’t buy things that you don’t eat. Just because it’s cheap and has a long shelf life doesn’t mean you need to buy it if you aren’t going to eat it.
Only buy what you and your family will eat. Because it’s a waste of money that’s why.
#2 keep everything in containers that mice cannot get into if the food is not in a can already.
Also means airtight containers for cereal and other things.
Seal up all of your food, such as meat with a vacuum sealer.
You can find them pretty reasonable if that’s all you can afford.
Make sure you have a first aid kit in your house that is well stocked and one in each of the vehicles. You never know.
Water is another thing to stock up on.
Thank you Lisa for another great pantry video on how to get started.
Hi Leisa, even though I am not new to having a pantry, it's good to hear from you on what you're doing. We can always learn from others. I'm 65 years old and I'm still learning. I've canned or helped my mom can practically my whole life. I helped my father in the garden just as long. Sadly I lost them when I was a young adult. They had me late in life. But I still think of them often. I'm still canning applesauce, apple pie filling, and apple butter. And soon to dehydrate apple slices. My trees have produced a bumper crop of apples this year.
So...sitting here thinking about the last small batch of tomatoes I canned. Can't remember if I added lemon juice. So....reminding everyone to DATE jars. It saved me from tossing every jar I canned to avoid missing one that may or may not be acidic enough.
In listening to other channels, the average seems to be five years for flour. I am so sad about some of the things I threw away years ago based on the expiration date.
My local Lowe’s grocery store has chicken thighs or legs for 99 cents a pound. I am canning this weekend!
Flour: We finally just finished the flour we purchased in the beginning of 2020. I stored it on the garage shelf until it was opened, then it was put in the fridge. The flour did not smell rancid, but it did have a slight stale smell to it. Tasted fine once cooked.
Lisa, I think you're terrific! You have such a funny delivery. You are concise and to the point and I appreciate your videos so much. Blessings to you and your family.❤️
Thank you so much!
Hi Leisa, having gone gluten free a number of years ago, I have learned how easy it is to teach yourself to use other things in place of flour. I never thought how I could use so many regular foods to bake and cook with i.e. oatmeal, rice, garbanzo beans, zucchini, as long as you can grind them down you have a substitute for flour. I love hearing your videos, it makes me feel like I am on the right path and sometimes get new ideas from them as well. I will always be grateful to you, because you are the person who taught me to can. I love being able to throw dinner together in a matter of minutes and it tastes like I have been cooking all day LOL.. Thanks again.
Oil: I just finished my last bottle of canola oil from 10\21 with no problem. (My garage gets to the mid 70's during summer.) Don't be in a hurry to throw things out, just smell/taste them first.
My top storage items are. Wheat berries, water, powder milk, thrive freeze dried meats and my canned meats, beans, freeze dried fruit and vegetables and oatmeal. I get my wheat berries, beans and potato flakes from LDS and bulk oatmeal from pleasant hill grains. I live in south Florida so I have to use a spare room with its own air conditioning for the storage
Leisa, I've read that, if stored properly, pasta will practically last longer than humanity. Well, not really, but a good 20 years.
Awesome, its just bulky and takes up too much room for me
If I haven't said it yet, congrats on 100K!
Thank you!
Eucalyptus leaves/ branches works well for bugs and rodents. When i have them in the house, under furniture and in cabinets under the sinks, i have not bugs or any signs of rodents.
Great video - had no idea that flour went bad. The biggest pantry enemy I have is mice as I live in the woods. Have made a lot of adjustments over the years to mitigate.
Package Package Package!
I froze bread flour like I was supposed to and put it on the shelf. I also had rice that I had frozen on the same shelf. I kept them in the same bags because I was rotating through it. Ugh! I had weevils get into the flour somehow and just now discovered they got into the bags of rice as well. I have never!! I will put everything in buckets no matter what from here on out. I’ll also add some bay leaves.
Use bay leaves!
I disagree on the pasta. We ate some that was from LDS food. It was 30 years old and still edible.
Thanks for all the good information, Lisa
Good to know!
I recently used a few cans of evaporated milk that were 2 years past the bbd. No change in noted. My husband and I enjoyed ham and bean soup I canned 3 years ago
Don’t forget you can use the oil and make a candle from it.
You are so young to be this damn smart. Thank you for us beginners. Great video. ❤❤❤😊
Great video. I just opened up a can of store bought tomato sauce that expired 2 years ago and there was nothing wrong with it. Some how i missed it when i cleaned out my pantry.
Thanks for this Leisa and, as usual, loving your work! I don't store anything which lasts more than 2 or 3 years unless it is in a tin. Budget doesn't low for Mylar or gamma lids on my buckets but I'm doing OK. Thanks to you I went and checked the dates on my oil and I'm all good.👍 Hoping to get some canning done REALLY soon as we have a replacement gas cooker coming today. I need some things put of my freezer. I have my small garden harvest of tomatoes to turn into something, gherkins and onions sliced and ready to be made into pickles and some berries for jam. Looking forward to planning all of that.x
Thank you. Just repackaged 25# of sugar into 5# bags, in mylar, NO OA, in a bucket.
I had no clue about the flour and I’ve watched a bunch of your preparedness vids! I’ve got 25# in the freezer right now. I’ll just cycle through it.
Apple season is in full swing. Freeze dryer is full. Tomorrow I’ll work on the other 2 1/2 bushels! 🤦♀️
I have 100 lbs of flour right now but that only last me 9 months
Thank you ,leisa ,
Yes please freeze your flour for several days when you get it from any store ,
We lost alot of preps from the nasty pantry moths ,
We are looking into buying whole wheat berries and gringing myself at 58 , but I learned a big lesson ....and now prices are alot more compared to when I began preparing years ago.
God bless you
Mrs josette Tharp Montgomery County, Texas 🙏 ❤
If you put bay leaves in your flour you do not need to freeze it and you will not have pantry moths.
Bay leaves never worked here in Texas for us. I have found if no oxygen nothing can live. So I vacuum seal or oxygen absorbers used I do not store flour I mill I as needed from wheat berries. Mill only as needed. I keep in gallon size glass jars that I use from weekly the bulk is in oxygen free containers keep as cool as you can and dry.
Those nasty pantry moths! We got some flax seed in the bulk section of the grocery store and it had pantry moths, that we didn’t realize and it has taken us forever to get rid of them! They have destroyed so many things! I never had seen these in my whole life!
Thank you ,to all of you that responded , The weird thing Is we still see a few here in there at night flying threw the house ?
My husband took the vacuum once again all along the tops of our crown molding & got at least 8 they love coming out at night time ,
I'm just beside myself as I'm so worried to lose more food, I had a great stock of food when things were still cheap , even aldis can goods were 49 cents, now I wipe everything down everywhere day .and using the food saver on everything , those things are horrible ,
We got 5 gallon food grade buckets at Lowes & even using them .
Also someone mentioned asking your Kroger or HEB or Sam's, Costco or anyplace you go if you can buy their big frosting buckets , u could b4 get them free not anymore , as they were using to garden ,but im gonna go check to save money as those buckets were $6 and extra for the lid.
God bless you ,does anyone know what I could use to spray ( healthy ) not strong bad odor to kill the moths that now can't get into my food but still flying around?
God bless you all

Great information! I need to spend some time repackaging items in my pantry.
Please do!
I was just thinking the same thing! I need to get busy repackaging a couple of things
In the interest of pantry nutrition, this is worth a look.
Cornell bread was invented in the United States during World War II by Clive McCay, a professor at Cornell University, as an inexpensive alternative to strictly rationed foods. Adding powdered milk and soy flour to bread increases its protein content, and restoring the germ to refined white flour results in higher levels of vitamins and minerals.
I’ve been making my own versions of Cornell bread, off and on, for a couple years. A search can turn up various recipes. Pick one, then make it your own. Nice to know if things go South.
I did ghee, and I forgot about it. You just reminded me that there is still a jar of it somewhere. It’s also really expensive compared to rendering the animal fat from the hog/steer that we already purchase.
I use the butter for baking, but for everything else, animal fats.
I prefer maple syrup over honey, but I like both. We have local maple syrup and honey
Just wonderful news. Thanks for the sugar salt info I may have had a brick if I didn’t see this video. ❤❤❤
I also use glass jars and vac seal... Very little use of mylar.
Not new to pantry keeping and still like this - great reminders! I hot jar my rice rather than mylar but same effect. Happy day~
De con works
Very helpful video! Thanks so much!
Rats can chew through steel! So I figure mice could chew through aluminum? If they smell food they will try to chew through anything to get to the food. Which is why I like to store in glass.
TY! ❤
Great Leisa. Ty so much. You have a lot of knowledge.
I have been putting my pasta in freezer bags with a few 7:57 punctured holes and then placed in vacuum sealed bags and labeled in 5 gallon buckets.
Thank you for all the great information and congratulations on 100k!!😊❤
Thank you so much!!
We eat my canned peaches and pears, with in 14 to 18 month's because they do start to break down but they are good in smoothies , if they are breaking down ❤😊
Coconut oil lasts a few years...mine held up pretty nicely
I went out to get extra supplies, oats, sugar, flour, dry beans, pasta, lentils, etc. I have a foodsaver I can pack them into, but here's the thing: it's going to our bug out cabin and there are mice up there. The only thing I can think to use is a metal trashcan to keep them out. Will that work? Thank you for your videos!
Yes, that will work perfectly
@@SuttonsDaze thank you, hun. I subbed, this is a good channel to learn from. Especially during these times.
Maybe bungee cord the lid on to the side handles and put a brick or rock on top .
Thank you for this video, Leisa. I’m fairly new to all of this for long term. Great tips and information.
Glad it was helpful!
I use so little honey that I bought dehydrated. Works great
Great tip about sectioning offv the mylar bags !!
Glad it was helpful!
Great idea with the salt. I use a hair stratener to seal my mylar bags
Thanks you so much for the info. Will keeping flour in freezer make in last longer.
Yes it will
Would it be helpful to repackage older items that i have in storage that were put into plastic buckets initially? Im learning more and more each day from you! Thank you so much for all your help and knowledge! Chuck loves you!
Yes, absolutely
just happened to have picked up some of these foods recently. I got a small bag of brown rice to cook within the next couple months. I use moisture absorbers when storing my salts and sugars
You tube have take away the notificationes! I saw it!
This is all really good info
All I see is the Javy behind you! I LOVE Javy!!!! I've used them for YEARSSSS. I love mixing a protein shake + Javy + a bit of almond milk + a bit of Stevia to make a GREAT breakfast coffee!
So good!
I’m using India relish I canned in 2017, still good

The organic coconut oil I get from Sam’s Club has about a year to it’s expiration date. What I’ve researched tells me olive oil has a much shorter life.
I love ❤️ your videos ty
I am thinking I need to use Mylar bags and oxygen absorbers to extend the shelf life of my pet rock collection.
😅😅😅😅
I'm guessing you have some kind of emergency generator in case of a hydro outage in the winter? I don't know why I was thinking about it this morning, but I realized all my food would freeze as well as myself.
It's a good thought to work on.
We heat with wood. Winter is my least stressful season
Per USDA cans are good for life as long as can is good.
Can you put dried beans in a jar with an oxygen absorber without "canning"?
Yes
Saturated fats (coconut oil, plus meat fats - lard, tallow) have a longer longer shelf life than vegetable oils, providing they're stored properly and in a cool, dark place (or fridge or freezer if you have the space) Make sure there is no water in it if you render yourself
Several years ago we put away sugar in mylar and stored in buckets. I can't remember but I bet we used oxygen absorbers as well. 😢
How about glass gallon jars and vacuum seal?
Yep, I use them often
I keep my extra oils in my freezer
Me too
With the day’s prices what would you sale a jar of chicken for
I dont sell it, so its nothing I've considered
Do you or someone used Tylenol with 6 months expiration date?
Sure. If stored in a cool, dry, dark area. It loses potency very slowly.
From a friend of mine who is a chemical engineer: tablets are very shelf stable and can be safely used for a year or so past the date, but liquids are not nearly as stable and can get weaker or stronger if used past the date.
I thought you could make flour last longer by putting it in paper bags and vacuum sealing it... OMG all my flour is stored that way ..ugh...got to check into wheat berries
I bought my first wheat berries last Saturday. The man at the store said the minute the (25 lb) bag is open the clock starts ticking. My best guess is that they need to be vac sealed in jars. Any idea?
I do that - paper bags, vac seal, then store in a big plastic tub in a cool area. It lasts me years just fine. Don’t overreact 😉 I like her, and she knows a lot, but she doesn’t know everything and this is one thing I disagree with.
I do also store wheat berries, I put them in a 5gal pail… that’s all you need to do once you’ve frozen/thawed/allowed to fully dry just like with milled flour
I have been going through my shipping container full of my food storage and my a/p flour from 2016 I opened is just fine! stored in 1/2gl jars vacuum sealed no oxygen absorbers
Keep calm and buy Thrive !
Absolutely ❤️
What's the thrive link ? Is it a 30 year thing ??
I heard that the pearl rice and the basmati rice last better in stores better is that true?
I have cats. I don’t have mice.
I have a question. I learned the hard way to NOT store brown sugar in a seal-a-meal bag. Is it OK to store it in jars then sealed like we do for dehydrated goods?
Just close the lid, no vacuum sealing
Can you speek to the qualities of mylar e.i number of layers of material?? Thank you!!
I get the thickest I can
the higher the number the heavier? Some companies dont seem to like to share that info..😮💨
I use a minimum of 10ml the 5ml seem pretty thin like they would tear
Do you by chance know the shelf life of organic Coconut Oil?
3 years
✌✌
2nd!
Where do you get your wheat from.. Thank you
I believe she gets it from a company named Palouse.
Palousebrand.com
For the pasta, do we use oxygen absorbers?
You can, yes
I'm a 66 year old novice with lard. I've heard of lard for pie crust, frying. Can you give real uses? Thank you
Anything you use oil for
How about food salvage cans of meat with best by date of 2025?
My friends volunteer of food pantries and gets the stuff nobody wants and I repackage it. People that visit food pantries in my area do not want canned meat or simple ingredients to make meals. They want processed junk food. They want easy microwave meals.
Pasta - get the types that do not contain eggs.
As long as the integrity of the can is good, no rust, no dents it should be good for 20-25 years
@@enascott5963 Yep. They are good. The people who visit these food pantries do not eat canned meat.
Don't have Mylar bags, however I do have a vacuum sealer. Good enough for beans?
Do you know how long butter is good in a deep-freezer?
Good enough for beans and indefinitely
@@SuttonsDaze To use butter as a fat source... how long will it keep in the deep-freezer?
@@susanhenley8240 indefinitely
I can only have white flour. I vacuumed sealed my flour and it’s in a cool dry place. Will it be ok for a year? Thank you
Yes it will
@@SuttonsDaze
Thank you for answering my question. I have such a weird diet. No nuts, seeds, only certain veggies, 3 fresh fruits, it has to be canned so I dehydrate what veggies I can from my small garden. Basically a bunch of carbs which I’m trying to cut down on. Your videos are so enlightening to me. Thanks again
❤
So shortening is lard and it goes bad?
Shortening is similar to, but not lard
@@SuttonsDaze thank you
How do you seal mylar?
ua-cam.com/video/WaxsQe--e-8/v-deo.html
On the mylar bags. I have a few bags of the same product with oxygen absorber some bags looks nice and tight and then another bag that looks like there is not much air out of it. QUESTION.. Are the ones that looks like the air are still in the bags. Is it still ok?
Yes, sometimes they don't suck all the way down.
Thanks you@@SuttonsDaze
Hey! U mentioned 3 times not to use an oxygen absorbers in salt, sugar and something else because it will turn into a brick. Why does that happen? And I just realized is that why my homemade dishwasher detergent turned into a brick??? It was salt in it , anyone know?
I honestly never looked into why, just know it does
Salt and sugar absorb moisture. Oxygen absorbers work by the chemical reaction of the oxidation of iron. Iron reacts with oxygen to form a reaction produces rust and H2O (aka water) as a by product. Salt and sugar then absorb that water and clump up.
Salt or sugar kept in your kitchen will also clump if exposed to enough moisture.
As an aside, Morton salt adds a "flowing agent" that keeps their salt from absorbing moisture and clumping, hence their advertising phrase "When it rains, it pours." (the salt won't clump even if it's rainy or humid)
FYI... I saw you had Campbell soup on your shelf...Campbells contains bioengineered products. Yikes!!! It's in real tiny print below the ingredients. Can't trust companies anymore. They have sold us out!
Pick your battles and let others pick theirs
70 - 80 % of foods apparently now contain bioengineered products at least Campbells are taking responsibility for labelling theirs.
The older Campbell did not have it. They just started this nonsense
@boomenestrina3926 bioengineering is the new term for genetically modified. It is not something new, just re-labeled.
@@dominique8233 this is nothing new, just a new name for gmo
