    I've been a silent viewer for years but now I'm going to fill you in. I've follow your monthly stock up and actually save them to fall back on. I have 5 gallon buckets of flour, bread flour, salt, sugar, every kind of bean imaginable, pastas, dehydrated hashbrowns, corn meal, etc. I also have5 shelves like yours and they are full. I am stocked up on toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, shampoos, all hygiene products and medicines. I have money on hand but also my medical supplies. I also went one step further and stocked up on gift cards for gas, food and visas. You would be proud. I'm a widow with kids and they never have to worry about food or medicines. Thank you. I owe it all to you.

      @@petrab.-c.1470 everyone is different on why they stockpile. I have a very very small stockpile. Me personally, I stock extra because 1.) my job is very inconsistent, if I get let go = no food…so I buy things for that kind of emergency 2.) when the pandemic happened, people bought things in a panic. I’m talking about no toilet paper, no diapers, etc etc. crazy times… 3.) the weather where I live is very inconsistent. Tornados, snow, etc. one winter, we can have weather that is 88 degrees F and one winter we can have 14 inches of snow. My city can’t handle that kind of weather. When it snows like that, EVERYTHING shuts down. We like to have extra food for when we get stranded and stuck in the house.

    I live in eastern europe, in ex-soviet satelite and stockpilling is something that is absolutely natural to me. Or rather say to most of my country. I personally have two pantries - one for canned food (we conserve veggies and fruit from our own garden, meat from animals - pigs, rabbits, chickens,...), the second pantry is for dry food - beans, rice, pasta, etc. Also I do have several years supplies of hygiene supllies and cosmetics. For kids I have basic clothes and shoes for next 10 years - just few items, but the best quality. We also working on getting off grid with sources - our house have fireplace as a main heat source for heat and water, last year we digged our own well and instaled solar pannels (we are now fully indipendend when it commest do electricity, and even more therefore we are planing to switch to hybrid cars in 2 years). This year we already started to instal heat pump to minimize fireplace usage in future. You never know what can happend, so it is better be prepared.

      Yes. Very good smart European thinking. I am European Australian and we lived right out in the remote bush with the Australians another European migrants,including Russians etc and we all stashed away food, clothing etc supplies, even the Australian people because droughts, floods, fires and disasters routinely hit us and we could be cut off , left with no food supplies etc unless we did this. There were no shops for hundreds of miles and nobody had cars, maybe a horse but even if you could travel so far, nobody had money to buy things. We just made or grew everything ourselves and swapped produce etc with others for what we could make or grow ourselves. We always had enough food, clothes etc because we all worked hard,were very frugal and smart and stashed food and things for some unpredictable future disaster. Although we had no cars and walked for miles of dirt tracks to visit neighbourhbours etc and there was no gas or electricity or TV and very few telephones, for extreme emergencies only, we still live very well and life was hard but good. The Aussies made good beer and whiskies etc, though I suspect some of this and tobacco growing etc might have been illegal, but nobody told anybody, so nobody ever found out. My father grew all sorts of fruit trees, grapes etc and made fine wines and liqueurs plus we had cows, goats etc for milk so we also made fine cheeses. An Aussie farmer's wife made good butter she chrned herself with an ancient butter making machine she had,s well as scalded cream for apple pies another lady made, using my father's apple she grew. Mum made sour dough bread weekly using an ancient sour dough yeast a Ukrainian migrant lady had somehow managed to get to Australia in her suitcase. The Aussies hated this hard crust bread but the local Aborigines liked it and would beg for it, offering some native fungus they found in the forests for us to eat. We knew they meant kindness offering their native "black fella bread" as they called it. But we didn't dare eat it. So, to not offend them,we took it, thanked them and then fed it to our pigs we kept for dad and his mates to slaughter and make beautiful smoked Parma ham, sausages etc,to swap the Aussies for their lamb and beers, tobacco etc. They loved to his special very expensive bacon to buy it in as hops and would som we times come to we ith bags of oysters, cr as yfush, prawns etc they caught up out fishing, to swap it for bacon, wine, fruits, veget as bkes etc we grew or eggs, chickens, duck me as t etc from our many ducks. It was as very tough hard life but we ate like royalty. Cra yfish, oysters, prawns, big steaks,fine wines and cheeses everyday. Fancy pies and cream cakes etc the Aussies and Germans, English ladies made. We had to eat all the food very fresh because it was very hot in summer and there were no refrigerators and many flies in that part of Australia which came from all the many sheep further north in New South Wales. Everybody preserved some sort of fruit or vegetables or made sauces. They were stored under houses or in dug out cellars that sometimes flooded. I ember these pickled cucumbers some Russians or Poles used to make which my mother, who pickled small Latin style cucumbers said we're "too old and big to pickle" but I liked them all the same. There was an abundance of food for all, despite poverty and hard living conditions. But when I recently went back there to see the area,all this life and culture had disappeared. All that was there were young social drop out youth complaining about poverty but not lifting a finger to do any work to help themselves. So, I guess they reap what they some. Nothing....

    Space is at a premium in my year pantry. One way I save space is using tomato paste for pasta sauce, tomato sauce, etc. for pasta sauce - Add water, seasonings, and a can of diced tomatoes (if you like it chunky)... boom. Pasta sauce. No need to store multiple tomato types - paste and diced. This leaves room for more variety.

    Wow….I have been married a long time and I should be the one doing the teaching! But here I am as the student and learning so much from you! Just how great is that!! 😱 Thank you so much. 😘
    So anyway, I’d like to add one of my food stretching ideas that I use and my kids never realized was being done. When I would make my tacos, in order to stretch the meat, I would open a can or two of (usually) Great Northern beans.Drain and rinse and mash them really well with the back of a fork. When finally done mashing, incorporate with the ground beef, mixing well. Then simply proceed as you would with your taco seasoning. I found several awesome recipes for making the seasoning from your own spices. Believe me….it makes a noticeable difference! Most of those seasoning packets you buy taste good, but are loaded with so much sodium, so that’s a plus point too. You can also do this for your Sloppy Joes night, and again look for blending your own spice mix for that too. I’m so addicted to homemade spice mixes now and there’s so many I tried and have never been disappointed! Pinterest is your best friend! 👩🏻‍🍳👩🏻‍🍳👩🏻‍🍳

    Don't forget your barley. It can be used as a cereal, in meat loaf in place of crackers or oatmeal, and in soups. My great grandmother always had tapioca on hand, a main ingredient in her beef stew and fruit pies. Used as a thickener. If you use canned corn or potatoes don't throw away the water. Let it settle in a bowl once separated pour off the clear liquid. What is left is starch to use to thicken sauces. Use potato water to capture wild yeasts for making bread. Pour off water after boiling potatoes let sit in a warm place until it becomes frothy should smell like yeast not spoiled.

    There's a trick to using canned chicken. Rinse your chicken. I usually drain the "broth" from the can, then slowly add fresh water and give the can a careful shimmy shake and drain it again. Two or three rinses usually does it. Rinsing the chicken really helps it taste less like the can. If you pressure can your own chicken, it doesn't taste like the can at all lol.

Which reminds me: PLEASE inform your viewers to invest in 1 or 2 good hand held can openers. The better ones work better and last longer. Remember to rinse fluid off the blades and drip dry to avoid crusting and rust from acidity like tomatos. 😊

    I learned this the hard way. Rice, grains,cornmeal,and flour contain very small bugs called wevvells and they will hatch and infest your whole food pantry. After losing so much of my food I was tols to put them in your freezer for 3 day's then sit out for 3 day's a little more or less will not hurt then place back into the freezer for 3 day's to kill the baby larvae that will still hatch. Once you remove them this last time from the freezer let them set out until all moisture is gone to prevent any mold then you can place them in your storage buckets and as you add the food add a few bay leaves through out as bugs hate bay leaves and adding the bay leaves will not change the taste of what you are storing. God bless you and your family!

My closest Walmart is an hour away and the closest Costco is 3 hours away. Luckily for us we have plenty of room for storage so that was one of the first things we started working on. We also invested in a generator and a wood stove and an extra freezer. I don’t like where things are headed so we are trying our best to be prepared as possible!

    I started my prep pantry three years ago. It's a challenge, living on a restricted income. Now I'm beginning to stock more non-food items. Flashlights, batteries, matches, candles (making some), different types of tape and zip ties. $1.00 shower liners, cat food, etc. I live alone and I keep sums of money in $5.00 bills.

    Our local store (used to be Thriftway) has a annual canned food sale. Love it. I get green beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and all my canned beans for the year. Huge savings. Cheaper than Costco. This year I added spaghetti sauce too. I have 6 mo. of toilet paper and paper towels. For my family of 4. I have ramen which is handy for my teenagers and cup of noodle soups (for me). I bought these shelves from Costco that are made for garage. 1000 lb per shelf. I know over kill. I like you watch for pasta on sale. Walmart will sometimes overbuy or get a wrong shipment and they put it on clearance. I grew up with parents from the depression era. So these things I grew up with. However, I didn't practice until the store shelves went bare in 2019. I bought a bread maker and flour, yeast, etc. So if need be I can make my own bread and still work. My job since went from an in office job to a work at home situation. I guess you can call me a born again prepper. LOL. I never thought I would see our store shelves bare like Russia in the 90s but it happened and I have a family to feed. If it happens again we may have to get creative but we have food to eat.

    It helps to put things that are known to eventually get buggy in the freezer for a few days, then store in the containers. I store my flours, oats, rice, pasta and powder milk, ect in the freezer. But I have 2 big freezers and a smaller family (3) to feed.

    Love canned carrots and baby peas. Could not grow enough to can my own. I DO can my own marinara. It’s wonderful! I cook enough to can 10-12 quarts. One quart seems to work for our meals. I also buy the #10 cans of green beans and then re-can them! We can get roughly 6-7 quarts from two cans. We use one quart per meal with 6….but two or three really don’t eat much. To be honest we can prolly use one quart plus one pint and that would work. So, didn’t grow our own green beans (we literally yielded 12 beans across 8 plants. So abysmal). But the #10 cans are literally $3.20 and so it’s about half the cost to re-can than buy individual cans. Hope this helps!

      @@rhondamullins5513 I would’ve thought so. But not so! And that’s after I canned them for too long! Meat is canned for 90 minutes/quart, which is what I did. However green beans can be canned for 25 minutes/quart.
      My process: drain and save water the beans were canned in. Sterilize the jars I’ll use. Scoop beans into quarts and use the stick or handle of wooden spoon to ensure enough are in while below an inch from rim. Add in the saved water. Use stick again to get rid of bubbles. Add in more beans if possible. If I run out of water I will use half remaining in one jar and half in another and simply add fresh water to it. My preference is to add one beef bullion cube to the top. Honestly they don’t taste “beefy” but so add flavor. An added bonus is that they also add in some salt, combined with whatever sodium was included in the original can. I only re-can two specific beans brands.
      Can from cold.
      To be honest I thought this was better than the beans I canned from fresh!

And also how many items they're running short on in their local stores. All great tips. I think another suggestion is for people to get BASIC cookbooks. Cookbooks that will teach people how to bake from scratch for when they can't find bread, pasta, bagels, etc in their stores. I always recommend America's Test Kitchen/Cook's Country.
