For longer shelf life, I recommend purchasing canned goods that do not have the pull tab to open them. It is this type of seal that lessens the shelf life.

[@jennytimelord9689]

I had been wondering that! Seems like most of the stuff on the shelf right now is dented or expire in 2022, 2023 max. I think they're giving us the old stuff but I have not noticed any difference expiry date-wise between pull top and not, but I suspected the pull top were more fragile!

I am a beekeeper. Honey does not "go bad"; however, it will "sugar" after a period of time. How quickly this happens depends upon the type of honey. Liquidity can be regained by setting your honey jar in a pot of hot water and stirring periodically.

I am a UK prepper, starting around 6 years ago and I am certainly glad I did, with current scarcity and price increases. Already there are limits on the cooking oil bottles you can buy at the supermarket and I still have 26 litres/40 pints. I have learnt from this video, which will help me in re-building stock even higher. One little tip I gained from a US prepper was to freeze your bags of flour for a couple of days before long-term storage in airtight containers. This keeps the flour free from weevils. I obviously forgot to freeze one, opened it several months later, and it did have some tiny creatures moving in it. Harmless, maybe, but not very appetizing. Especially for a vegetarian like me 🙂, although I store tinned meat, Spam, etc, which I would soon eat if hungry enough! I do not follow the use-by date too religiously, some canned food from WW2 having been found edible after some 100 years. Same goes for many jar/packet.freeze dried foods, the manufacturers having to be very conservative with those dates imho. I keep a spreadsheet with sections for canned food, packet food, jar food, etc, and label each item with its own number (A100, A101, etc) for identification. I have columns for Description, Ref No, Size/weight/quantity, Use-by date, Price paid per item, Quantity, etc. to help me stock take, as I am now. It helps a lot. I just wish I could get family (with 2 sons and 3 grandchildren) to follow suit, but they do not see the warning signs. Now mid-70's, I have to also prep with them in mind as best I can but is a worry. Just about to buy a tall garage-suited (low temperatures) freezer for more capacity. In readiness for the (inevitable) coming worldwide financial crash, I have got much cash got out of the banking system, bought gold, silver, Bitcoin and other cryptos and keep cash at home. Also, a daily Bible read. All part of preparedness - but that is another story. Keeping quiet about your prepping/stacking plans has to be a wise thing. Thanks for the video and Best wishes from the UK.

@Ricky Anthony we have a gas stove so cooking wasn't an issue. The issue we have without electricity majorly (besides loosing items from the fridge and freezer) is we have a well for water.

Here's the thing there isnt a problem with having a food storage, in fact its smart to do so. But the quantities she has is a bit much. I could almost guarantee 50% of her food will expire which to me is too much. I mean who would drink milk out of a carton when there is a gallon of milk in the refrigerator that tastes a whole lot better? And as a result the milk will go bad. Im not trying to be negative but realistically this is way overdone. You can get the same results by having 10 of each can item and rotate through constantly.

Also, learning to regrow kitchen scraps. A few packs of decent soil and some grow bags gives you infinite fresh potatoes if you get in the habit of planting just the bits you cut out before cooking. Same with green onions, plant the bulb part that gets thrown away normally and the green part will quickly regrow. Celery, back choy, and garlic are all good / easy ones to scrap garden too.

I like the organizational ideas. We went a different route with the food we store because it was cheaper to buy basic ingredients than to buy so much manufactured food--which does have a place if you need to eat but can't stop to prepare a meal. So we have a mix, but rely mainly on dried beans, rices, barley, quinoa, and amaranth, plus canned salmon and home canned chicken. There's always a pot of soup on and cornbread made, and all the basic vegetables that we grow.

We have to be creative with the space we have. You won't need 100 pairs of shoes or a closet full of outdated or unused clothes...food, water and necessities are vital to survival in any emergency situation. But above all else, be right with God.

Top food tip, best before : you can eat after the date it just will loose taste or texture Use by: do not use after date

[@mommynikki6675]

I know lots of people say this but I recently had some mixed veggies that were past the "best used" by date by 2 months. I didn't think anything of it (since its supposed to be good still?) I quickly drained it, dumped it & then.. Smelled it! Yuck! It had gone rancid somehow! Idk, maybe it wasn't stored at the grocery store correctly? Bad batch? I've had it in my basement with no dents since it was bought.. So I guess it MAY still be good past that best used by date. Just double check before you ruin your meal

[@nannynanan]

As she said: "use by"means dont eat it after the date. Canned and dried food usually is still fine month and years after the best before date. Also chocolate and candy.

[@piarateking8094]

if it smells/tastes bad, looks moldy or is slimy etc its bad otherwise it will be safe to eat

[@oldtimerlee8820]

The "Best By" date is NOT AN EXPIRATION date! It is the date chosen by the processor that the food will remain at it's best quality. As food ages, it loses some nutrition. Can have flavor, texture and/or color changes that have nothing to do with food safety. Properly canned, both home and commercially, food is safe to eat as long as the seal isn't broken. As long as the seal is intact, nothing can get into the jar to spoil the food. As to many dried foods, white rice, for example has a 30+ year shelf life. Processors usually put a "Best By" date about 2 years out. I recently cooked rice that I stored in sanitized 2 liter soda bottles in Feb 2010. Enjoyed my supper. That rice was fine. If I'd followed the "Best By" date, I'm sure I would have sent that rice to the land fill around 2012 and bought some more! Use By: Sometimes it seems that's the opposite for fresh foods. By the time "Use By" comes around, many foods look and smell like it's past time to toss them.

[@oldtimerlee8820]

@@mommynikki6675 Good advice on knowing the signs that indicate food has spoiled. Smell is one of them. Sounds like that can of veggies seal could have been broken. Mixed vegetables normally last several years past the Best By date without any objectionable change in quality. Could have been a tiny dent at the seam or possibly an unnoticeable defect in a seam or seal. Golden Rule of Food Storage based on actual observation of the food: When in doubt, throw it out.

I love that you prep. Young women today are scary, they don't seem to realize how uncertain times are these days. I'm an old woman and glad I don't have to worry about anyone else, cause I'm alone and on the downhill side of life. I was also taught to plan for war, while there's peace. In other words be prepared. I watch them shop week to week, mostly junk food or quick fix. It makes me worry about so many innocent dependent children out there. God be with them.

Thank you, Sun Dance! I'm over 60, and learned so much from my grandparents who went through The Depression and wars. I'm always preparing for a disaster food-wise, as well as water and supplies. No one else in my family is doing it, so I have to buy extra in case they all end up at my house. I don't buy quick pricey foods. Lots of nutritional basics that can be cooked.

I use the term women to cover both, due to the fact that these young "men" are more feminine, than their female counter parts. What an awful and sad thing to say, but sadly true. Masculine men are few and far between.

I am right there with you, Sun Dance. I was raised by parents who lived/grew up during the Great Depression and what they taught me was and now is more so, invaluable. I do have concerns about my daughter and her family as they are not as well prepped as I am. They are getting there slowly but my concern is that they are not in as good a place as I am and may not be able to get prepped before SHTF!

[@ashleyromero1873]

just a quick thought for you, you should really consider moving the water up off the floor- especially if you have concrete flooring. it should always be on a shelf or on a pallet... This prevents the water from leeching chemicals from the concrete, as well as water seeping out of your containers.

Debbie H you could afford it if you do a little at a time. For instance. When you go to the store to buy soup, buy 3 or 4 and put 2 away in your storage . Do this every month and by the end of the year you will have 24 cans of soup and it only cost you an extra 10 bucks a month. I budget 20 to 40 dollars for my pantry a month. I get what we eat and just buy a little extra of one or two things. Not a lot, but over the years,as I rotate through things, it help s raise our children so they had healthy food and we didn’t have issues during shortages.

Wonderful video and pantry. I always remember that the sweeter or the saltier something is the longer it will last. We need to remember to store heirloom seeds, only those that you would grow anyway. Considering the fact that I was a girl scout, we learned to always be prepared. We should also remember to have cash on hand. You should have $1,000 in small bills... $1, $5, $10, $20 You don't want to pay $20+ for something that you need that normally would be $1. We should all be prepared, regardless of the situation. We could lose the grid at any time and then you wouldn't be able to access the ATM or bank. Gasoline is a must. Store it responsibly. And as we all learned in 2020, TP, Paper towels and essentials. Don't forget candles, matches, lamp oil, an oil lamp, and batteries. There are a lot of prepper sites. It can be a lot of fun to become prepared.
