    Use the freezer!!!!!!!!!!! I have an old non-working upright freezer (and it was free) in my storage room. I use it as a mouse-proof pantry for dry goods for short term. Especially those in paper or plastic bags... ramen, rice, oats, flour, taco seasoning pkts, gravy mixes, cake mixes, etc...

    We started doing this a little while ago but when covid hit we tapped into our supply cause we were that financially strained. Now that we are back to normal job wise we've started up again, and sort of teamed up with my parents who also have a storage supply. We've been feeling a bit stressed knowing election is coming and winter and so much in the wind of "what ifs" but I hope our best will be enough. There's just so much talk out there and it's a constant concern in my house being my husband is military and gets called away for National guard purposes , and he wants to know the kids and I will be ok. Trusting God for the outcome ultimately though.

    I personally could not stock Oreos, they would get eaten in a late night binge. I have a small packet of cookies hidden in the back of my freezer for the end of days, I'll take them on my bug out and eat them as the world ends. Out of sight out of mind. Props to you for having the control to actually stockpile Oreos.

    My mom was big on food storage. After she passed away all the food that she had was eaten through or the big five gallon containers of flour and sugar were given to someone in the church. I wish I had food storage. When the pandemic hit it really made me think about getting it going. I started buying food but haven’t kept up with the food storage. Your video has given me the motivation to get started on it. Hopefully I do a better job this time. Thanks again for the motivation boost!

    Only store what you eat, and eat what you store. Canned goods last way way longer than the dates on the can. that is a marketing tool for the stores. Don't be taken in by them. Unless the can has blown (swollen) it fine use your senses smell look and possibly taste. If it looks smells off then discard it. Stay safe everyone. Love from the uk 🇬🇧

    • @johncasey5594
      @johncasey5594 3 роки тому +4

      Yes, yes, yes!!! Stock up on what you regularly consume only when on sale and rotate it properly. If done right, prepping can actually save you money. For example, I know it is not technically food, but I go through a tub of Folgers coffee about every 2 weeks. I refuse to pay $10, $12, $15 a tub. I only buy it when it is on sale for $6.88 at Walmart, Giant Tiger, etc. every 3-4 months. I always have 20-26 tubs stored. That is a saving of about $150/year.

  • @ErbLee
    @ErbLee 3 роки тому +10

    I keep a big black sharpie in my pantry and as I rotate with new items or do a general inventory I check dates. If something is coming up on it’s expiration or use by I’ll put a large visible X on it. Then that item is easily noticeable and is an item I plan to use in my next month of meals. My friend’s grandma used a grease pencil on her home canned jars the same way but would mark jars she felt had been in her pantry past her self imposed use by. I don’t mark more than a few items a year but it helps keep me accountable in that if too many of the same item end up marked in a given cycle I know to scale back or not repurchase because tastes change. For longer term storage it’s smart to rotate those into your regular pantry in a staggered pattern when they’re a few years out so you can restock with dates that extend out further. That way your stock never truly stagnates. Think moving targets when thinking of expirations. You should be rotating enough they just keep moving forward with you.

    • @oldtimerlee8820
      @oldtimerlee8820 3 роки тому +2

      Please note that "Best By" dates are NOT expiration dates. For canned foods, as long as the seal isn't broken, the food is safe to eat. As long as the seal is intact, nothing can get into the container to spoil the food. Yes, over time there can be some nutrition loss, plus, flavor, color and/or texture changes. These don't affect safety, as long as the seal is intact. Please do learn the signs of spoilage: bulging cans, excessive foaming, foul odor, mold and unexpected color changes.
      I use a Sharpie and put the Best By date (month/year) on the front of the package where it is easily seen. This is done to make sure we use the oldest first. FIFO inventory management system. First In, First Out. The easiest way to do this, IMO, is to have a simple rule. Nothing goes onto a pantry shelf until it is dated. That means a bag of canned goods will sit on the floor, until I have time to put them where they belong using FIFO. Since they are in the way, that's a good motivation to get the job done. :-)

    I've been working on mine since 2012. If you go grocery shopping weekly, purchase 10 extra cans each week and in 1 year you will have 520 cans stored up in 1 year. If you eat 3 cans of food per day, one for Breakfast, one for Lunch and one for Dinner. This will give you a 173 day food supply. This is 9 to 10 days shy of a half year supply. After 3 months move all your new cans in your pantry and bring up the oldest for consumption.
    You may want to look into long rerm prepper food. These can have a shelf life of 20 to 25 years.
    Start prepping now because you don't know what tomorrow may bring. Make sure you also have a garden as a backup. Learn to hunt and fish also as a backup.

    Well done! Once you have a well stocked pantry then you can buy everything when it's on sale and buy as many as you can knowing what you will consume in a reasonable amount of time. Dehydrating and canning is another tool for long term food storage, if you can follow a recipe you can pressure can food. I buy most of our meats on sale then I can it, ground beef, beef, pork, chicken, turkey, fish it makes for very quick meals. Storing items in glass gives it a longer shelf like than storing it in cardboard or plastic (Ball makes half gallon jars). Freeze all flour for a few days before adding to the pantry, it kills off any eggs or bugs that cause it to go bad quicker, keep all nuts in the freezer if you can, they will last twice as long. I always store my yeast in the freezer till I open it, then it stays in the fridge after that, lasts twice as long that way. An extend pantry has always been a lifestyle for us, something my grandmother taught us (a single parent during the great depressing).

It’s taken a long time to get what I have but I’m now confident we have enough food to at least last roughly 6-8 months. I also have seed vaults and We are working on a garden soon.

    Great job stocking for your family. I strongly suggest for your dry goods that you get them into some sort of airtight container to ensure you don't attract bugs. I store mine in juice and 2 liter soda bottles, for example, with an oxygen absorber. They will last for years that way. You can also put little things like your cornbread mix, muffin mixes in food saver type bags.

      Thankfully we had food storage when this all happened, but I went to the store to grab some chicken and a few items on our weekly shopping list, and there was NOTHING. Literally nothing in our stores! I remember walking down the baking isle and only seeing sprinkles of powder left on the shelves where the flour, sugar and spices once were. Every isle was empty. Not a single can left on any shelves. It was an eerie feeling. And let’s not forget about the toilet paper shortage of 2020🤪 Our grocery store has just recently been able to keep stock! But that took 6 months to go back to normal there!

    I can all my meats. Beef chunks, plain hamburger, taco flavored, chicken in pints & quarts, pork chunks, ham chunks, meatballs, bacon. Veggies, I can get cheap. My garden is not that big. Tomatoes and hot peppers mostly. Canning for me is therapy. It also heats the house up in the wintertime. You do not can in the south when it's 90 degrees outside. So I save my prepped meats in the freezer until it gets cold.

    Agree. November will be nuts. I feel like just going to the store may be scary for a little while. Rioting, looting etc. And then add in a possible shortage of food. I would much rather just stay home if the streets are crazy. People think about food stock piles, but some don't think about personal care items too, those are very important, especially meds and first aid items. Also another thing to stock up on would be gas. If you have gas cans, fill them up, gas wont stay good for a super long time, but good to have on hand for generators. We live in upstate NY, so with our winters we always try to be prepared for generator use anyway. Thank you for sharing

    • @ashleyhuze
      @ashleyhuze  3 роки тому +7

      YES!! My thoughts exactly. We might just not WANT to go out towards the end of the year due to riots/more sickness etc. who freakin knows! If this year taught us anything it’s that ANYTHING at anytime can happen! With little to no warning! Why not be prepared, even if it’s just a few weeks worth of “extra!” 🤷🏼‍♀️
      We have another bedroom in our basement we’ve converted to storing supplies (so anything that’s non-food) and I will go through all that in another video ASAP! Things people don’t think about like toothpaste, shampoo, dish soap, laundry soap (we even have a hand washer in case no electricity to wash clothes) and let’s not forget about toilet paper 🧻😂 I’ve really tried to think of everything we could possibly need with “no power” since losing power has happened to us so often this year. We are right on a fault line and had a few earthquakes this year but we’re expected to have a BIG one any time. We probably wouldn’t have power for weeks or even months if that happened. Again, I think it’s just smart to prepare for anything that could happen for where YOU live! Some people are hit with tornadoes, hurricanes, etc. prep for what you think you need most!👏🏻

      For reference, as of today 3500 BRL = 637.42988 USD per a web search. If you were referring to BRL and not RS, your rice is extremely expensive compared to what we pay in the U.S.

That is why we cannot afford to have that much food. We have to buy groceries frequently. R$35,00 reais can only buy six american dollars.

I'm trying to figure out a system that works, but I only have two cabinets I can use at the moment for canned goods. I do have access to a deep freezer and we have a big garden, so we've been able to freeze lots of fresh veggies. We live on a big farm and are trying to be as self sustainable as possible at least when it comes to growing as much food as possible. We had a very good year for veggies. We're going to try to grow strawberries and fruits next year.We're also doing more watermelons and things like that. I'd love to be able to grow apple trees and some kind of orange or pears at some point, but I don't know if our climate will tolerate that or not.

End tables can also be buckets with board. Totes can be stacked as end tables. Coffee table can be 2 totes with lovely cloth covering. Side table by bed, again totes. I pick up totes @ my local thrift. Most of the time they have no lids, but I put my items in glass jars to store. Lay a board across & good to go. Deep bookcases could have books in front & 1 to 2 rolls of stacked cans behind. God bless.
