Try making meals. Use a 2 gallon zip lock bag and fill it with a meal. Like crackers, tuna, mayo, relish, fruit cups, velveta cubes, cookies and water bottles/juice box. That’s a meal in a bag. I like to create recipe ideas and we keep everything together. It’s easier in a disaster to grab a bag with a meal.

Yeap

IMHO, first and most important 😉coffee and tea including a pour over device. Canned chicken or beef, ramen, instant potatoes, shelf stable milk, add water only pancake mix & syrup, ready pasta packets, pasta sauce, canned soup, chicken & beef bouillon cubes, "fast food packets"-mayo, mustard, ketchup, sauces etc. A lot of bottled water. A little camp stove & gas/propane for it. Candles, lighter, battery radio, small battery backup to charge phones-one that can be charged by solar or in a pinch in a car. All metal pot that can be used on a camp stove or a grill. Backup propane tank for the grill or the camp stove. Charcoal and lighter fluid, in case there is no propane. Wipes to clean/bathe with. Books, LOTS of books to read when there is no tv or easy access to the internet. & if you have a well system that stops all running water and you know the outage may come, fill your bathtub with water so you can use that to flush the toilets.

This was so helpful as I prep for Hurricane Milton here in FL. My fam in GA got hit by Helene and lost power for ten days. That made me realize I’m not as prepared for hurricane season as I thought! Thank you for adding ideas to what I already was going to buy

Great start! I know the fruit cups are more expensive and need to be rotated more frequently but they are really handy to have. Especially the applesauce because no power means eating the entire large jars of applesauce all in one day.

Looks great water is most important I would stay away from no name batteries from amazon.

Shelf stable milk would be great for the cereal or added to rice/oatmeal for breakfast. Raisins for your oatmeal or rice. Also, a first aid kit with various pain relievers/fever reducer. And, in case of a longer term situation, a Walmart brand multivitamin would help with any dietary deficiency from the difference in emergency prep food. Vitamins and pain relievers last well beyond their expiration date (like years based on a military study) so not something that needs to be rotated. Hope this helps and prayers we never need our preps❤❤

Good start! Maybe put the tp and diapers in garage if you have one. If not, maybe under a bed. I think the water may get funky in a milk jug. You can get purification tablets to add to water.

Add canned veggies that the kids like.

Great start!! Just a note about storing water in milk jugs, these break down very easily and will leak. I had some stored under a bed and found out the hard way. Soda pop type bottles and juice bottles are better and last longer.

I suggest keeping the pineapple separate from the other cans. People have showed videos where the pineapple leaks if stored a long time.

I don't know if you have an Aldi near you, but they have good price on big bundle of toilet paper.

I didn't think of pop tarts

So many good ideas of things to have on hand! Thank you!

Yay, yay, yay! I am so glad you were able to take advantage of all the deals too! Way to fill your freezer with bread and cheese! 🎉 And thanks for sharing my channel. You are so sweet, friend! ❤

I have been a boost member for quite a while, since I am handicapped and it is hard to get to the store. I do enjoy the bargains, too.

They'll have new ones this week my daughter just started working there and she gets boost free for a year plus all the other discounts for working there it's going to be wonderful for us

Wow, fantastic deals!

I like making soup. I used to make a large pot of Pasta Fagioli every Fall to enjoy throughout the winter. But now my freezer [ I just have the refrigerator freezer ] is filled with meat and other items I bought on clearance, sale or manager' s specials so no room for large containers of soup. I am going to make a Corn Chowder soon yumm

They have done sales for boost members only before.

The boost coupons are not available during the free trial according to the fine print on the sign-up page.

Wow, you got so much! Great deals.

I saw Kristens haul too and so jealous because I don’t have a Kroger but those are 2019 or before sale prices for sure! Great haul.

We have a surprise acorn squash plant in our garden this year and i wasn't quite sure what to do with it, but we enjoyed acorn squash soup (with ground sausage to give it more flavor and texture). We also have a ton of pumpkins, so im trying to sneak pumpkin into things like mac and cheese and the kids dont know the difference 😁

I made taco soup for the firsr time in a long time and all the kids liked it! 🙌

All those meals sound delicious! I love taco soup, but unfortunately my kids are not (yet) soup lovers. I am determined to keep trying! 😂

Considering how much junk food 8s consumed in USA, this is relatively very healthy haul of good food.

Inflation was/is world wide. Complain all you want but salaries are increasing and prices are decreasing. Instead of asking what Kamala is doing about it, ask the republican Congress what they are doing about it since the have the real power. They're doing nothing - too busy looking into Hunter's lap top.

Almost everything is up 30-50% with some being 100+%. Please don't say something that went up in price 30% isn't a big jump. That is an insane price jump in such a short time. We are being squeezed because they printed so much money to enrich the rich and now the rest of us are all poorer for it.

So I’ve always done my shopping at Walmart and I knew exactly what the prices were and is pathetic because you’re absolutely right it has jumped about 40%. That’s a lot of money when you start adding it up every month. Everything you buy is gonna be $.40 more. And then I see Kamala Harris say that she is going to make people bring the prices down why haven’t she done that yet? What’s going on that she hasn’t taken the time to do this for us? It’s the middle-class peoples when she said she’s going to help we’re the ones being hurt the most, I’m not trying to bring politics into this. I’m just wondering why

Great job.

Daaang, where do you live?? Unfortunately our closest store is a Safeway, and their chicken prices are currently like $6/lb! Even at Walmart, it's $4/lb here. It's cheaper to buy beef now, which is crazy. And their store brand eggs are almost $5/dozen--Target has them for about $4/dozen, which is even cheaper than WalMart but that's still INSANE to me that you got two for that price!

I can't even imagine only paying these 2024 prices!! No joke but those 2024 prices are less than what we paid in 2019 here in Canada. I am sorrry that your prices have gone up though. Here in Canada..please pray for us..they are literally starving us up here. Carbon tax election desperately needed.

Cucumber from .49 to .65 is 33%

i know I'm very strategic in what goes in my grocery cart anymore 😢

current prices i estimate 83.00

At our Aldi's in ks.our eggs right now are $3.77 a dozen this week.

40% inflation over 4 years is not normal or sustainable

I wish I could help you but I can't it's only me I don't spend very much on myself I only go once a month to the grocery store 😊

what that cracking sound comes off your mouth you should be telling us if walmart going raise prices raise that wages they have pay too walmart pigs they want us suffer while their on beach drinking A miki

We buy the coffee deals too on the Maxwell house coffee, we get the eggs, butter, cheese, when on sale, fresh fruit and veggies, the fresh market chicken, I have never seen those nuggets before though good haul

It is our other go to like Kroger they kind of switch out sales each week and they do the digital sales coupons online too.

I prefer the dishwasher gel over powder or pods. But I've learned cascade or a better quality brand does a better job for my dishes. I've used the Walmart brand and after I had some dishwasher issues, I had a repairman tell me that it really makes a difference when use you a better/more expensive 😬 brand. We have a sams membership and we can get a fair deal on a big container.

I reuse plastic bags probably about half the time, depending on how easy they are to wash and how tired I am 😅 I do feel bad throwing them away though haha! I'm glad they gave you that refund! Good job catching that...that would be easy to miss!

Absolutely I reuse plastic baggies! I hate to use plastic period, but when I can reuse it until it is no longer possible to do so! Every penny or nickel saved adds up! “Never underestimate the value of small savings” is what I’ve taught my children! It all helps out!😊

Your menu looks amazing 😍😍 I think I'm definitely going to have to make some of these!!

I definately stock up and have extra. Its such a good feeling to have that food and household insurance. Go for it ! You"ll be glad you did. God bless ! Nice haul

Great meal plan!

If you look at the increase in ground beef, steak, bacon, eggs, milk, chicken, the price increases are dramatic. My old receipts show these items at half or less than they are now. I wish we had an Aldis here, because I'm not finding these prices to be as good where I am - unless a special sale. Regardless, although some cheap processed items have changed less, most things have increased dramatically. They have also reduced the size of many packaged items. I just bought 5 lb bag potatoes for 4.99. I could find them in 2017 for 99 cents. Eggs could be purchased for 1.00 or less. I'm paying 3-5 dollars now. Ground beef was 99 cents per pound, now 2.99 to 5.99 lb. I could find bacon for 99 cents. Now I'm paying 4.00 to 6.99. Sirloin steak was 2.99 or less; now around 5.99. NY, tri-tip, ribeye steak has doubled and tripled in price -- I'm now paying 10 to 14 dollars a pound for those. When they talk of inflation, they hand pick certain items that have had less increase. Inflation and deflation (paying more for less), hidden fees; added fees to EVERYTHING. The current regime is killing average working americans.

When I use the last one I buy another the next time I'm at the store.
