Pegi and Don, I love how you are showing real life...and we're all doing some real living. Cutting those 2x4's down. That would be me...I don't have fancy tools...I have some saws, and when I need to get something done, I'm using what I have. It isn't pretty or perfect but it gets the job done. So, great inspiration for a lot of people!

[@pegianddon]

Thank you! I expected a little grief, but all I have gotten was support. You guys are awesome 👌 !

[@gailreese4699]

I am glad to find this out because of my husband.

@@gailreese4699 what will heal issues with the stomach is give up oil, spicy, meat and etc....go plant based. My husband had serious stomach issues, on meds and now nothing.......he feels so much better.

[@debb3428]

We always had ginger ale for sickness growing up, and it really is just one brand that we used and still works for me. I'm not a shill for a company....I promise....but we always swear by Canada Dry ginger ale when we're not feeling well. :)

[@mirandaholley9797]

Real ginger and ginger power is better.

[@debb3428]

@@mirandaholley9797 It most likely is. I got accustomed to one thing growing up. Plus it was palatable as a kid. I remember being sick so many times and so parched then...and I would get coached to take "baby sips." And you'd take a bunch of "baby sips" over a few hours to hydrate and settle your stomach.

Please share all your struggle meals. I sure would appreciate it

[@hopestewart1602]

I have made huge pots of Mexican style rice and black beans. I use the low sodium taco or enchilada season mixes with some salsa my kids and family loves them!! They often put sour cream, cheese, guacamole, and eat with a tortilla and make a good meal. I love beans and rice cause I can flavor them many different ways and we know beans and rice are cheap...

Any recipes you use making with your preppier food would be appreciated

[@jacrispy2068]

I just had to tell y’all I know you don’t care but it’s funny to me now.. my struggle meal for a year was ramen 2x a day and pasta 1x a day. The cheapest things possible but so unhealthy 🙁

[@hopestewart1602]

Ja Crispy I remember when we had to eat ramen for a while. I found ways to change it up and to this day I will crave and eat them from tine to time..

[@sunaugvttony7746]

Tuna macaroni salad is cheap a box of elbow mac, can of tuna can of peas chop up onion if you gave it some mayo and it will last all week or tricolor pasta some Italian dressing and whatever veggies you have or add black olives or cheese or pepperoni whatever you have. Pea soup, split peas chicken broth onion carrot if yiu have it can of ham or chopped ham celery if you gave it thats it. Chili, jar of spaghetti sauce chili seasoning, cans of kidney beans, onion hamburger even 1/4 lb ir ground turkey whatever is cheap put on rice makes a lot.

I've been focused on water and forgot about ginger ale and gatorade. I agree they can truly come in handy when you aren't feeling well.

[@pegianddon]

Thank you 😊! We knew some would be disappointed but we wanted stuff that we were used to and we are blessed to have space for.

[@thefirstnoob5577]

I store containers of the Gatorade powder.

[@erik0073]

LOL!!!

[@debb3428]

Agreed! When Pegi said that, it made me think of a few meals. And one that I still make to this day....because it's a "comfort food" for me:" pasta shells with meat sauce (ground beef, tomato sauce, and herbs/spices). Still love it to this day! :) In fancier terms it would be something like a "bolognese sauce." But I think this was a low-brow version. LOL.

I am like Ms. Pegi and determined to be as stocked up as possible by the end of October. I am still not over the shock of empty shelves at Trader Joes and my supermarkets in late March 2020. The best thing about your prepping is that you buy only those things that you actually use. You both are so kind and generous of spirit and are a joy to watch. I wish you lived next door so we could share recipes. I hope that your kids are able to have a fun Halloween amid the pandemic. Thanks for your kindness and sharing your knowledge.

"if you can drink hotel room coffee, you can drink this stuff." I don't believe a lower bar has ever been set in the flavor department ;-). My wife and I brought a French Press and coffee grounds with us last time we staid in a hotel so we wouldn't have to drink the hotel room coffee. You might consider adding a French Press to your stores so you can make coffee in smaller quantities with just warm water. You guys are great!

Last Saturday I picked up 195 items from Walmart - mainly Great Value brand. I search Walmart and find my local store and select inventory and place my order making sure the items are available for pick up in that store and place and pay for my order. Employees gather my items and place in the pick up kiosk. The items are loose packed in either bags or boxes and they will hold for 7 days awaiting your arrival. Last Saturday my only in store shopping, pushing the cart and standing in line to pay was for fresh produce and meats. Love this Walmart service.

Nido milk powder and Media Crema would be a good addition. I use the Nido powder in my baked good; cinnamon rolls, biscuits, bread and cakes. I used the Media Crema (canned cream) for anything that needs heavy cream. It should be in the same spot as the evaporated and condensed milk. It will come in slightly smaller cans but it's also made by nestle. Any recipes you can share would be very much appreciated. Take care and happy prepping to everyone ☺️

Ginger actually does help settle your stomach. We buy fresh ginger and crystallize it in some sugar, my family always grabs a piece if they have a stomach ache or upset stomach. So, that is why many people use ginger ale when they are feeling sick.

[@jacquelinejordan1588]

Also did a Walmart haul last night. I got the Gatorade, 25 lbs of sugar was $8.74, paper towels, toilet paper, dog food, and found the only lysol spray in the Christmas department and a 2 pack of propane for the camp stove. Love your videos.

[@jacquelinealvarez6497]

Hello Pegi and Don. First I want to compliment you both. You did a great grocery slash Prepper haul. Now I want to tell you. When you did your buetane stove cooking video I had told you I have one but couldn't find it. Well today I showed my son your video on it. He said the same thing I told you in my comment. He said mom I didn't know it was so easy to hookup that stove to use. He saw the whole video. Then he said let me get it. He knew where it was all along and didn't bother to tell me. He pulled it out. It's the same exact one you have. So today I went to Sam's club. They didn't have the buetane gas for it. So while I was at Sam's he walked over to Walmart and managed to find only 5 cans. Just like you said it was a little less then $3.00 a can. Now he did go to the bakery section and tried to get the empty buckets of sugar. The lady said she didn't have any. But at Sam's I went to the bakery and spoke to a very nice and polite young man. And he did tell me he was going to throw the buckets out. I kindly asked. And he did give me 3 of the buckets with the kids . I got myself a grocery hall. What ever I could afford. I am very happy. I want to thank you both for giving us excellent ideas. My son really enjoyed your video. He loves the music. He was up here dancing in my kitchen. Can't wait to cook on the buetane burner. My son hooked it for me. Tomorrow I going to use it. Thankyou so much.

[@judimardula8685]

Freezing eggs is a great idea. After you blend the cracked eggs (must do this..yolks get funky if not broken), one cup of scrambled mixture equals 4 large eggs. So one half cup is two eggs. Then you can freeze them flat in zip loc bags, great for saving space in the freezer.

[@urbansafetysurvivaltactica5488]

You need to check if you can get an adapter hose for your Coleman to be able to attach the 1 lb propane tanks. Once you get that hose you can get the 1 lb to 20 lb adapter hose. The 1 lb propane tanks can serve double duty as a source of fuel for cooking and a source of fuel for heat. You should also look into a Mr. Heater buddy heater and wool or wool blend blankets with winter coming just in case you lose heat.

Your pantry sounds so much like mine used to about 15 years ago. As I got older, for health and food issues, I had to purge my pantry and transition to gluten free, sugar free and minimally processed. I also, now eat really low carb. I love how our pantries evolve with us. A good pantry is, we store what we eat and we eat what we store. You are doing a great job and I am loving how you are using the food in your favorites meals. Struggle meals is a great term. We used to call them hobo meals, which we ate a lot in the early years raising the kids, For electrolyte replacement, I use bullion cubes. I can’t drink sugars or dyes much, so I had to figure out a replacement for Gatorade. Bullion is lite and shelf stable. I put the cubes in a glass jar and it will pretty much last for ever. The brand I use is OX. I comes in little plastic jars on Amazon. I agree with don, I use ginger for tummy issues, you can also get ginger slices or keep some in the freezer. I can’t do sugar. I dry ginger and use it in drinks when my tummy needs help. I love coffee too! I do use heavy whipping cream and make my own flavors because I, personally, am not a fan of the ingredient list. I have small half pints of coffee spices and flavoring (even pumpkin spice). That jarred Alfredo sauce is pretty darn good! Lemon pepper is my favorite, I have not used that packet... I will have to look at it and see if I can eat it. We always keep tortilla chips on hand. During the stay at home time during the covid outbreak, that was what we missed the most. We got 1/2 gallon jars and transfer the chips and vacuseal the jars. One jar is a serving for us. They will stay fresh for about 9 months in the jars. We keep about 3 to 4 bags worth on hand at all times now.

[@pegianddon]

Wow, Linda! That is a lot of information! Thank you 😊! We expect our pantry to evolve over time; some foods will be added and some will be taken away. As our health and needs change, so will our preparations. Thanks again

Like others like to see some “struggle” meals. When I was a kid my mom always added rice or pasta to chicken soup. For condiments I find Costco is the better deal for me. You should see if there is a restaurant supply store in your area they usually have best price on staples sugar, flour etc but you will have buy the 50 lb bags

[@debb3428]

We would normally have a Sunday roast (come back from church and it was done!) as a kid. Then we would eat off of that for a while during the week. All sorts of versions. One would always be soup...like chicken or turkey soup. Amazing, once you add the rice or pasta, how hearty that soup would be and how much you'd get from it!

[@debb3428]

Other things would be sandwiches for lunches, hot open-face sandwiches with gravy for dinner, pot-pies, etc. It's amazing how much you can get out of one roast...and have delicious, nutricious, hearty meals! roasts can seem very expensive, but when you consider how many meals can come out of it, plus less fuel or time in the kitchen...they actually work well in a budget.

I like the one gallon containers that you got for your pasta when I go back to Walmart I'm going to pick up four of those because I buy a lot of different pastas and those will work out just fine in my pantry the more I watch your videos and more stuff I learned that I need to be getting thank you so much for sharing just saying
