Long-Term Food Storage Essentials with

[@debbieorazi2518]

My Dad worked in grocery stores for 40+ years. He said stores keep 3-4 days worth of product on the shelves because they get multiple deliveries every week. Today's stores don't have the large backroom storage like stores of old had, 95% of products are on the shelves.

The hill I will shamelessly die on, Die Hard is a Christimas movie. It takes place during Christmas. He's trying to get home for Christmas with his family and can't until the conflict is resolved.

[@FrugalFunMum]

I will join you on the hill!

[@kathrynhilder9609]

Definitely one of the best Christmas movies! You can even get a Nakatomi Plaza advent calendar, with poor Hans Gruber falling from the top.😂

[@clareu9539]

I am not that bothered by Die Hard as a film, and even I would agree it's a Christmas movie!!

[@LeahCary78]

I started my food storage with 5$ per grocery trip. At that time I was weekly shopping. I now have a 6 mth supply.

[@dianasimplifies]

Yep people make a lot of excuses of reasons not to do it. ❤ good for you!!! 👏🏻

[@christinekalin3321]

I eeeked the second I saw the thumbnail. 2 of my favorites! I've been following both of you since the beginning

[@jenzimmerman9079]

Once again, I realize over the course of my adulthood, I learned these tips organically,. I really like the emergency tote of shelf-stable foodstuffs.

[@lscott3641]

KEYSTONE canned meat. Great long term storage of meats!!

[@christineatan7297]

2 of my faves again... Thanks christine!!!

[@SusanL-ds6lc]

I do leave the grocery store with what is on my list! LOL I'm not even looking at the other stuff. I just buy the food we love. No food waste. And I'm frugal :) I shop at 2 stores and get the better deal at those stores. I keep about 2 weeks of food. But I love Kimmy! Everyone is different. Do what works for you :)

[@JC-kj7ng]

Fellow Texan here and absolutely put beans in my chili!

[@Michelle_Ellen87]

Winona Ryder Little Women is my all time favorite!!!!! That and Christmas with the Kranks

[@nadinefrandsen6087]

I watch While You Were Sleeping All. Year. Long!! My favorite go-to anytime I need comfort or something playing in the room while I do anything at all💜💜💜💜

[@kathleenliddle7352]

I was very impressed with the conversation you two had in this video. I seldom if ever see any programs that are for just one person to buy or cook for. I'm alone do not care about cooking much and my freezer and pantry are full. I liked the remark that you made about shopping with your mother, that is so me. I have no idea what I would do without the videos you have on you tube.

[@dianejost9578]

I NEVER cool dry beans because I now only cook for two and one can of beans is plenty. I don’t want to use my limited freezer space with leftover beans. Your season of life will make a big difference in food choices.

[@GardeningWarrior]

two of my favorite ladies..this was soooo much fun to watch.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Loved this podcast ladies, and yes you speak my love language! LOL Shelby

[@tressalewis7004]

I have to add that my husband keeps a great garden half of the year. We have garden, grow carrots, potatoes, onions, and possibly squash for many months of the year.

[@kimberlyalbert2400]

Thank you ladies! Good conversation.

[@paulinepietila7701]

Being a foodie ❤

[@pamp212]

Totally agree on the kindness comment. During 2020 with the limits on many canned foods, if I had 4 cans of tuna on my list and the limit was 6-or especially if there was little left, I bought my 4 to leave some for others.

[@amylynn9034]

Tha Family Stone! Great movie! Also While You Were Sleeping.

[@katiegarland8235]

Yes!

[@sadieesther9721]

Ahhh two of my favorites!

[@katie19765]

Hi Christine! Love having your podcasts to listen to while working!

[@TracieL1234]

Beer bread is one of those easy quick breads

[@Larissa-iw5wy]

White Christmas, Elf, and Hallmark movies. White Christmas is my all time favourite, always and forever.

[@susan06860]

Our number one Christmas movie is Christmas Vacation. We also watch The Santa Clause and Christmas with the Kranks. It's a family tradition with hubby and daughter. My daughter and I then watch It's a Wonderful Life, White Christmas, Miracle on 34th Street and The Preachers Wife with Whitney Houston. We've done this for years and we love it!!

[@brendahere]

Keystone cannedchicken, beef, burger is the best canned meat Ive tasted. Meat and salt. Add in your own spices for what you want to do.

[@nancybrewer8494]

I have a pantry and freezer pretty much full. I think it would last a year, but I have no idea. I have a variety of food, but I'm not organized enough to know how long it would last. My goal would be to make a food plan for a month then multiply by twelve, but that hasn't happened yet. My usual habit, essentially the opposite of a meal plan, is to go shopping in the pantry to figure out something to cook. I'm 72 years old so I don't know if I can change it up now!

[@shonahmclean2018]

Kimmy you goal should be in your list reading add it to your puzzle time Frugal mom I love watching you cook She's in her apron planner got to get it shelf stables invitory your food and many other pages most planners don't have go to her website

[@andreagardner2335]

I shop sales on dry goods for our community food pantry drive that we do monthly. Two pound bags of dried beans for $1.00. I just add a bit to my own order and have it rung up and bagged separately.

[@kathychatterton5623]

I can meat, doesn’t take up freezer space. Makes meal prep easy for things like chili and spaghetti sauce. I live in snow country (eastern Washington) and even if we can get to a grocery store I love staying in my nice warm home and shopping my basement in the worst weather. What I find is that what we buy changes with time, so I have from time to time I find I have things that we don’t use. When that happens, the local food bank wins. Because I can save on my weekly groceries, I’ve started buying a few items for the food bank rack week. I have my canned goods in see through totes with expiration dates, mostly because I am a clutz and I knock over stacks of cans but it also makes tracking best by dates easier. And yes, chili is not chili without beans and it has to be THICK. Born in Texas to a family from Louisiana, there are things that are not negotiable and beans in chili is one of them. But I am a heretic and okra is gross (despite my family’s best efforts). And while I am disagreeing with you, it’s team savory all the way for grits. LOL.

[@RandyBailey-k2e]

Family Stone ! Me too!❤

[@paulinepietila7701]

I've made scallop potatoes and ham with canned potatoes. Could make augratin potatoes.

[@heatherjonassen1765]

Maddox is awesome!!

[@GardeningWarrior]

I can my own ground meat and many of my other meats, my own tomato sauce, my own veggies..but it is more like a fun hobby for me.

[@vlmellody51]

Some of the "Outlander" novellas are free in the Audible Plus catalog.

[@danaschelin3853]

I'm going to have to DM Kimmie my chili recipe. it uses beer, but sometimes I substitute red wine because my husband prefers that flavor.

[@lexyarnold1216]

MADDOX'S is soo good! My family supplies some of the beef and lamb for them, just yummy....

[@johncourrege8660]

Holiday dinner…..Chicken and Sausage gumbo!

[@CHSwildcats19]

South Louisiana here: and cmon Christine you know neither turkey nor ham is in a traditional seafood gumbo (the ONLY acceptable Christmas dinner) 😄

[@RandyBailey-k2e]

AKA Kenneth Bailey Love Kimmy have for years !❤😊

[@terribrandt8117]

Roast the canned potatoes with Parmesan & garlic!!

[@dianasimplifies]

Hey Christine how long do you cook the potatoes in the IP? Do you put them in whole or cut up first. Thx!!!

[@amycurletto3957]

This was kind of crazy cause I live 15 minutes from Maddox. The BEST dessert they have is the peach pie. But it's only in July-September

[@tressalewis7004]

I have to admit, I am a vegetables snot. We do not like frozen vegetables, or canned vegetables, rush for us❤😊

[@brendahere]

Im a veggies snob too. Garden fresh is the best, garden frozen and canned follows. Since my veggies are picked and processed within hours, they taste like a different species than store bought.

[@michellekinsey1]

Agree on While You Were Sleeping, also do not like White Christmas. But what about Harry Potter?!

[@meve531]

I feel like it's a requirement of housewives in Idaho to know how to make good mashed potatoes 🥔 😂😆

[@mandy3486]

The beer chili sounds like Purdue boilermaker chili

[@RAM-eb2te]

[@GlendaMixer-jz7vc]

Ask if the Italian restaurant has a freezer. If they don't your food most likely be all homemade.

Unpopular opinion - Costco and Sam's Club have HORRIBLE meats. Neither one has quality meats.

[@kathygarner1383]

I never had a problem with either Costco or Sam’s meat

[@lylagray9669]

@@kathygarner1383 good for you. I always have 😞

[@dianasimplifies]

I love Sam's grass fed beef. What's wrong with it?

[@lylagray9669]

@@dianasimplifies maybe nothing. I have just never had any luck with any of their meats.

[@dianasimplifies]

@@lylagray9669 the other thing Sam's has that I like is farmers market brand chicken. It's non GMO and it also cooks up really well. Before that I was getting organic chicken at Aldi and paying a lot more a pound. Anyway just my 2 cents but we are all different. Regular chicken is so tough to me.
