Dollar Tree $10 Prepper Pantry Stock Up Meal Ideas

[@theIAMofME]

UPDATE: AG, you made a video a few back that had the Nido Bulk can of Milk. It made me go check dates. Mine expired in Aug 22. I was worried a wasted money. Well, I am currently going through it right now. It is STILL good!!! So, if any of your viewers have some of it that is expired...please check it before you throw it out. Make sure you use very WARM water to mix it up.

[@mickeyandres8113]

Thanks for the info, I have a can that has just expired. I'll open and use it. Thanks again 😊

[@Sssssssssssunflower]

Thanks, I was wondering about exactly that! Noticed mine had expired.

[@theIAMofME]

You both are very welcome. It stayed in mostly a temperature controlled environment. That room from summer to winter (I'm in the South) stays between 55 to 78 degrees through the seasons. The room has blacked out windows. So, it was a year and a half passed BB date in those conditions.

[@rangerannie5636]

Those "best by" dates are pretty arbitrary. I'm currently using items 3 years past date and everything has been just fine. I wouldn't discard anything until I've opened it and found it to be obviously foul. Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸

[@theIAMofME]

@@rangerannie5636 I never toss first. EVER. Last night in our vegetable beef and barley soup, I used a can of green beans that expired in 2020. They were totally fine. Even if you don't think you have something expired or close to it....CHECK! I thought I was rotating well. There's always something that gets pushed to the back. Never fails.

[@rangerannie5636]

A pantry meal I like to pull out in a pinch is a box of (dehydrated) AuGratin Potatoes, a can of chicken and a can of green beans. I use Nido milk, butter powder and the liquid from the cans to make the potatoes. Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸

Thank you, AG. Hoping you're not having any troubles from the weather and earthquakes.

You might check to see where the food came from and avoid food from China.

This was an interesting google search: Barcode Country Codes

May the good Lord watch over you and your family and friends. Peace and Love 😊

We love the Margaret Homles field peas & snaps.

[@dfostman6014]

What you said in the first couple minutes are so important. This is one of the best vids you've posted. Those brands are very good and make great, easy bases for meals. Thanks and good job!

[@AlaskaGranny]

I appreciate that!

[@stevetoth4843]

Those ribs looked delicious 😋 .definitely would like your recipe. Thank you for everything you do for the people. It's greatly appreciated. God bless you and your family.

Southern favorite is the field peas & snaps with cornbread. Same here( Fla) with the Butterbean so I bought 2 cans when I seen them. Many things are long seen in-betweens. Question AG,❓️ do you see jet vapor ? lines in the sky as much as we have? Many in other states are observing them also & now the weather alert are saying we could have a higher chance of nighttime tornados. Never seen so many gray days. Like someone's blotting out the sun with clouds. Wonder if Noah seen them when he looked up & said, Humm🤪😇?

You my new favorite granny! You are knowledgeable , wise, kind and loving .. I learn so much from you. Plus? You’re adorable !

[@AlaskaGranny]

Wow, thank you!

[@Stayingalert]

Another very informative video. Thank you for the reminders. God Bless!

[@Sssssssssssunflower]

Thank you, AG. You always have great tips!

[@coloradopackratprepper]

I hav noticed that many of the food items that walmart carries that dollar tree has , walmart has those items at 1.12 !!!!!

[@Pmwalls46]

Great advice as always Granny. I hope everyone is listening and getting their preps in order. I’ve been out of commission for a bit but getting better every day. Thanks Granny for what you do to help others. ❤️

[@gingerzelidon3573]

Still finding what we use at our DT, but I don't count on them always being there. That's one of the reasons why I have a prepper pantry. Great tips, AG. Thanks for sharing! Blessings to you and your family!

Mustard is also good for muscle cramps. My grandma used to make mustard plaster for everything from a sprained ankle to a congested chest.

[@lenoraw1098]

Thank you from Oklahoma!

I picked up some Margaret Holmes different vegetable blend to keep food fatigue away. That brand has a number of blends , but they are not easy to find. I think they would be good to make rice and beans more palatable. There are fewer good food products at Dollar Tree, but I still pick some up, like the gnocchi, tortillas, large cans of black beans and sometimes tomatoes. I mayhave mentioned the healthier version of "Nutella" that is on Dllar Tree shelves. I get the herring flat cans, as we like fish.The protein count is high and it will go far in rice. Mine still has plenty of the cherry pie filling.I find it a little tart, so a little sweetener and a few drops of almond extract makes great pie, dessert topping for cake or ice cream, or to use as a layer in a parfait or triffle. I no longer see the Campbell's Sipping Soups there, which is too bad. They are more than twice as much in stores and I put them in my emergency bag, as I got stuck overnight in a hospital with only candy in a vending machine.

[@kendrasmith6637]

Thank you AG for another helpful video on foods to get. 😊

[@AlaskaGranny]

You are so welcome!

[@joycedagostino8869]

Good advice. If people get their food delivered heard that often the handling of these shipments can have dented cans or older stock, so good idea to look over those cans, boxes and other packages to make sure they're not broken or dented. A Dollar Tree closest to us is closing, said the building sold so when I went in last weekend, there were many bare shelves. Was told that they aren't going to re-open another one and just telling employees to relocate to other stores. We went to another location and they also had some shelves not fully stocked, also less selection of products in their gardening supplies. Double check prices for the canned vegetables, we have been able to find many of what is at Dollar Tree for $1.25 each on sale and cheaper at our grocery store when they do their weekly sale flyer.

Q Prepping is a fantastic idea! 😢 Today's been a depressing preppers day for me. My favorite jam. The entire line, Knotts Berry Farm jams have been discontinued. 😢 Boisenberry jam was my favorite. Prep like you've never prepped before! Why? Something that's been a historic line suddenly completely gone...is a huge RED FLAG and sign of bad things to come. Q ❤

[@AlaskaGranny]

Sad news, Knotts Boysenberry was my mother’s favorite!

[@SJ-db1lh]

I love the Margaret Holmes field peas and snaps, as well as the collards. I have a hard time finding butterbeans too, they are my favorite. Thanks for the tips! Stay safe and healthy! 💜

[@rachelkivarkis1801]

Thank you, for another great and informative video. I don’t always find things at the Dollar Tree, that is close to my home, but definitely, I will look for the butter beans and other cans, you shared with us. God bless you, and thanks again. 🙏👍🌟❤️✝️✨💫👏⭐️🕊️

[@AlaskaGranny]

You are so welcome!

[@trishthedish-n9u]

I never put dishwashing soap in the water, I put it on the sponge! Also, add vinegar to your dishwashing soap, it will last longer.Your dishes and sink will shine and your sponge will never smell!

[@AlaskaGranny]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@leanntoepfer77]

Margaret Holmes makes a canned red beans and rice. I just put 4 into my Walmart cart. Under $2 per can. 💖

Ohhh your cute doggy sits behind his Mommy! Heart melting! Hello from South Africa ❤❤🐕🐕🐕🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@danniemcdonald7675]

Great tips! Butter beans and cornbread = my favorite comfort food dish😋 I'm not sure what my store has or doesn't have. The last couple of times I've been, there were empty spots on a lot of the shelves, but there were also tons of boxes sitting in the aisles. There were several employees working, so I don't know what was going on.

[@AlaskaGranny]

Good to know they had new boxes of products.

[@MichaelR58]

Good video, thanks for sharing YAH bless !

[@normakraus9411]

I’m bad for not rotating…. It’s something I really need to work on

[@br2080]

Something that helps me is to date an item when you start using it to see how long it takes for you to go through it

[@carolynBulldog5]

I use DTree mustard for basting all my meats. It adheres the seasonings to the meat. I don't taste the mustard at all. I love Meat Church seasonings and videos. I love Margaret Holmes cans at Dt: Collard Greens, Lima Beans, Okra, Tomato and Corn. Makes a southern dish that is pretty good. I needs to slack off a bit on my prepping. Got too much for right now.

[@shirleyjohnston1256]

We love field peas and snaps. Red beans and rice, butterbeans, baked beans, pork n beans, yes ma'am I'm southern! Need to go to the bigger dollar tree in a town about 15 minutes from our town. Ours is very small here..

[@scruffyscrubs5468]

Really great tips AG! I will look for the Glory, don't know if they have that out this way in the upper midwest.

[@darlenegamble3409]

I love the idea that you said about using leftover spaghetti sauce in soup. I don't know why I never thought of that! We always have some leftover sauce, cause there is only two of us.

[@meanoldrunk]

wow!! i havent seen you in my feed in forever. i thought you quit.

[@rhondacausey1480]

Can I put a descant packet & oxygen absorber in the same jar? Enjoyed, thank you

[@marilynbelt6069]

Love your ideas. Question for you; do you find the non USA made foods ok?

[@AlaskaGranny]

Sometimes, depends on the origin and taste.

[@barentfoley6264]

Nitrates are terrible for your body. Many better substitutes ❤

[@AlaskaGranny]

Very true!

[@2jedismom]

I got some of that canned corned beef at Aldi’s. It was cheap, so I bought several cans. Gave it a try and both my husband and I agree…it’s AWFUL! So in case of The Apocalypse, I plan on feeding it to the raccoons and just eating them! 🤣 🦝 🍽️

[@AlaskaGranny]

Try it with spaghetti sauce and pasta. In Alaska we call it North Slope spaghetti.
