I enjoyed this video mainly because I have stocked my pantries with all of these products and more. I home can and dehydrate food. While I'm not interested in a freeze dryer, I would love an electric pressure canner. It would free me to make larger meals and can the leftovers. When the outside temp drops, I want to fill my empty jars with water and water bath can them. A quart jar takes the same space in my pantry as a water filled one. I have 18 gallon jugs of water frozen in my big freezer. I try to keep the freezer full to both cut the electricity usage (a full freezer uses less energy) and keep my freezer cold during long power outages. My power was out for 7 days a few years ago. I didn't open it until the power was back on and all of my food was still frozen. One trick is to put a coin inside a frozen jug. It will sit on top of the ice and sink if that ice defrosts. While I can most of my meat, I can't process meat ribs or hams. I like to have one roast handy, but cube and can any roasts I find on sale. I also can hamburger meat, but I grind my own. The last bought hamburger meat I canned looked and smelled like potted meat. The store had added a junk filler to their meat! If I had not canned it, I would have wondered why what I cooked tasted yucky. I'm feeding those jars to my dogs and cats. Pasta. I make my own. I have a little in the freezer, but usually make it as needed. I have flour, sugar and cornmeal in gallon bags in the freezer. The bags prevent moisture from ruining the food.

A note on the pasta storage. ( Including rice and flour ) Always prep your food before storage. Some people will freeze this stuff before storage. I always cook dry for 45 min in a 245° .to kill the weevals that are already in the products .The last thing you wanna open is a 5gl bucket filled with bugs.

I'm glad you found the video helpful, and your concern about water is absolutely valid, especially on a budget. One cost-effective way to ensure a clean water supply is to invest in a water filter. There are many affordable options available that can purify tap water or even water from natural sources, making it safe to drink. Additionally, consider collecting rainwater. It's free, and you can set up a simple rain barrel system. Just make sure it's legal and safe in your area.

I grew up in the 40s and 50s on a farm. Food was rationed during and for a while after WWII. If you lived on a farm you were fortunate as every farmers family canned and stored food for the year and some extra. Those who had cows shared the extra milk for eggs. Bartering was common for different fruits, vegetables and meats. Foraging for mushrooms, elderberries, huckleberries etc was common. Nothing went to waste!

Fats are Very important to have daily in your diet. Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Ghee, Butter, Sesame Oil, Coconut Oil, Avocado Oil. Powdered and Canned Butter. Don't forget powdered Eggs and Powdered Milk. I didn't mention Canola or Vegetable Oils because they aren't healthy to eat all the time but some recipes or frying call for them. Cornmeal and Pop Corn and Flour and or wheat berries but you would need an electric mill or manual mill. Dont forget Coffee. Tea. Sugar, Chocolates of all types. Jams or preserves to go with your peanut butter or toast. If you make bread from scratch add bread yeast. Add can Chicken. Turkey beef and pork. Dont forget condiments like mayonnaise mustard ketchup bbq sauce soy sauce teriyaki sauce worstishire or steak sauce. Dry spices for soups tacos chili Chinese Thai food, Indian food, German food like stroganoff powder mix goulash powder. Bouillon cubes or paste to flavor soups in vegetable. Chicken and beef. Nuts are good sources of Proteins like pecans. Cashews walnuts almonds pistachios pumpkin seeds. Sunflower seeds and dry raisins an cranberries. 100 % percent Juices are good to stock up on Apple. Orange. Grape. Pineapple. You don't want the cheap ones that are mostly sugar with only 10% juice thats a waste of money. Lemon juice to flavor water. Teas or food. Apple cider vinegar is good to have. Pickles. Relish Jalapenos and can diced hot peppers 🌶 good for lots of recipes. For those of us that are old school box foods like hamburger helper. Box puddings. Brownie cake and cookie mix. Alfredo sauce and spaghetti sauce. Last but not least Maple syrup molasses. Honey, sugar. Stevia or other type sweetners. You can buy powdered peanut butter also as a backup. The best salts give you mineral your body needs like Redman salt. Sea salt. Pink Himalayan salt. That other salt in the blue container has all the mineral removed and your left with only sodium...not good for your body or health.

Great list of essential food items to stock up on! It's clear you've put a lot of thought into this.

Store what you eat, and eat what you store. If you do not like tuna and oatmeal you are not going to change your mind about them because the grocery store is empty. Don't store dry beans if you don't know how to reconstitute them. It's not like opening a can and heating up the contents. Be thoughtful about what you realistically like and try to store those items, or you will be tossing your storage in the trash in a few years. This was a great video so I don't like coming in hot like this, but this is a huge investment. And I have some safety concerns. A pinch of salt will not make water safe to drink if the water is dangerous. If you think you can just salt your food and it will be safe to eat for longer, you are putting yourself at serious risk!!! Learn how to do these things before you try to do them in an emergency, please!

[@TheSeeshannon96]

You could always plant the beans and restore your supply. If you don't like beans keep in mind that you can grind them into flour or barter them. It is crazy what you learn to like when you are hungry, and beans can be flavored to taste delicious.

[@karrielangston4005]

@TheSeeshannon96 Good job thinking outside the box with the beans. It's too bad that more and more people have no place to plant anything. I'm going to disagree that you learn to like something you do not when you have no food. You may eat it, but you won't for long if you have a choice. And your quality of life will go down. There is a lot of information out there that says people didn't eat it when they needed it. So why let something you will not rotate or eat take up space and money??? Just purchase what you will rotate and enjoy.

[@reginaweiner3817]

The food that lasts the longest is the most economical, and usually less expensive. Your philosophy about basing your storage on family preferences is very sound, especially if you still have young children . They won't even notice anything is different. In fact, if I still had young kids, I'd plan a surprise dinner regularly of something they like, and be sure there was plenty of it in the stockpile. I have a weakness for peanut butter cookies and instant pudding myself. Moms have a special fun gene that activates in hand times.

They definitely don't last as long as some say. Texture goes weird and gross. It's not super hard to make them, but I still don't. Water is another consideration.

Labels taught me how to alter my own recipes. I tried using cookbooks specifically for people with diabetes. My children hated the food. Gradually I learned to use natural sugar substitutes (e.g., Stevia and monkfruit) along with herbs and spices to make food taste good, and I practiced moderation.

I can my own proteins AND fruits and veggies. I buy produce when it is in season from a farmer's market and either freezer it with my vac sealer OR can it.

Just pray you continue to have electricity.

How long can you really use cans after the expiration date?

[@renitaknight7603]

Until the can seems compromised, which is a long time.

[@anitaparks8945]

Till the lid bulges or the can makes a hissing sound as you open it 🤣 Survivor of Many expired cans.

Just a thought. Now a days, almost everything is made Bio Engineered/GMO. Even the canned soups we’ve purchased for years now. Check the labels. It takes me a long time to shop but I don’t want anything in my body that the Father Yahweh doesn’t want in it. Changing His given DNA. BLESSINGS Y’ALL. IN Yeshua’s matchless Name.

Canned tuna, salmon etc., make sure it's line caught otherwise it's probably going to have tons of chemicals in it from farmed tuna which has to have chemicals sprayed onto it to prevent lice etc.

I save quart sized or larger glass jars that pickles etc come in then store pasta, beans, rice and dehydrated foods in them. I also throw in an oxygen absorber and moisture absorber to keep extra dry. Dont use used plastic food containers as they crack over time and sometimes absorb surrounding odors. Also font limit yourself to canned tuna. There are many canned meats out there from beef chicken spam corned beef etc. If you can pressure cook cm ready made meals you can eat from the jar, can meat if on sale. I am going to can up some sloppy joes, hamburger patties, taco meat, and any other meals I can make that we will eat. For Water storage we recycle gallon vinegar bottles. Heavier than regular store bottles. Since we have fish aquariums we recycle the water on a regular basis. We use filtered tap water then leave lid loose for several days to let any chlorine left evaporate before sealing tight. Then use aquarium water on garden and potted plants. Main problem is finding space to store items as we have no garage or basement.

Now, canals, rivers drying up due to changing weather patterns means big ships cannot move as easily through less water., therefore less goods getting in and onto shelves.The changing weather patterns as witnessed in storms not seen in decades, or a hundred years, fires destroying land in many countries, glacier ice disappearing faster than expected…this is a scary time and does not bode well for us.

Go to the pool section of your favorite store. Buy a box buy a container or two of Diatomaceous earth. Sprinkle it in dried items like pasta, oatmeal, and even spices this will prevent this prevents Pantry moths. These pests multiply like bunnies, and they invade and they can penetrate plastic bags of say egg noodles, and jars of spices. I'll spare you the details of how Diamatius Earth kills them, but suffice to say I've learned by experience it works to identify them, they look like regular moths except they have black markings on them. They also look like ice crystals hanging inside your spice jars, cereal, etc. Food must be discarded.

[@angelaackerman8934]

You have buy the food grade diatomaceous earth. The kind used for pools contains chemicals not meant for human consumption. I bought food grade online years ago.

Just a reminder, all our food will be useless if it’s winter and we have no source of heat. This is especially critical in the north of the country. You can’t use some sources of heat indoors. A wood stove or fireplace and plenty of seasoned wood.

[@MalikaBourne]

@glennaolsen9765 Exactly! Over the years I have seen people get upset for a variety of reasons over "instant foods". Yes, brown rice and beans are awesome, but not when you need to feed people quickly and urgently in a very cramped space.

Thanks for this, would've liked to see more healthy choices in this video, however for growing families, it's perfect.😀 Younger folks, unless with a condition determined by doctor (such as diabetes), generally breaks these down during daily activity. And some expiration dates must be watched closer than others. Have noticed at stores like Big Lots & Ollies, while certain out of date items are on the shelves, others aren't, even at food pantries. Staff must go through the donations & remove any which are known to eat into lining of cans, which causes instant food poisoning, and destroyed. Same with expired pet food. On the other hand, I've eaten plenty of pasta, both macaroni type (white or wheat) & could tell no difference from a box recently purchased. It's important to ensure these boxed items that aren't also sealed inside a bag (like cereals & some brands of oats) are kept in a very dry area. This is where other methods of canning, such as Mason or similar jars, or even a food saver at home with extra bags makes a difference. I still use the Ball branded mason jars given to me by my grandmother, still after so long, the sealing part of the lid (flat & round) needs replacement now & then. Food Saver bags can be purchased in cut to fit, eliminating waste, as these bags are pricey. Everyone NEEDS enough food to last through a crisis, be it a work layoff or natural disaster. Whenever practical & possible, if a homeowner, a basement with access to secure bunker is optimal. Obviously, it's best to do this before the home is built or pay 3x the cost (minimum), yet not always thought of. In this case, which would be expensive post home build, check Google or KZbin for videos/recommendations. Many years back, near the end of the Cold War, many were into the survivalist lifestyle & I subscribed to a (paper based🤣) magazine with many ideas. But this was in the late 70's, so cannot remember the many articles read, wished I had kept those among others.❤ Really, we have little idea what may hit us next & those who do are the lucky ones, on the other hand, there may be lines waiting to enter already mostly empty shelves. Being there 1st thing in morning is no guarantee of getting what's needed, rather knowing when restocking days & times are, to get a place in line at the right time. Enjoyed the video!😀

[@frugallivingrecipes]

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. It's great to hear that you found the video helpful for growing families, and I appreciate your feedback about including more healthy choices. You're absolutely right that different expiration dates require different levels of vigilance. It's essential to be mindful of the condition of items, especially when shopping at discount stores. Food safety should always be a top priority, and it's good to know that some places take measures to ensure expired or potentially dangerous items are removed. Your tips on storage are excellent. Keeping food in a dry area and using methods like canning in Mason jars or a food saver can really extend the shelf life of certain items. It's all about being prepared for any situation, whether it's a crisis or just everyday life. I completely agree that everyone should have enough food to last through unexpected events. And having a secure storage area, if possible, is a smart idea. It's better to be proactive in preparing for the unknown. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! If you have any more questions or topics you'd like to see on my channel, please feel free to let me know. I'd be happy to explore more subjects that interest you. Thank you for your support, and I hope you continue to find value in my videos! 😊

If you're in a survival situation, white sugar will keep you alive with its calories. It doesn't expire, either. It'll hold you until you can get something better.
