I would add a Tylenol, Aleve, Motrin type of pain reliever and prescription med.I would also add ace bandage, bandages, antibiotic ointment.

[@homemakingwithdenise]

Oh I do plan on those things but I will address them in the medicine cabinet and first aid kit. Thanks though, your suggestions will make sure I don't forget anything.

[@belindadaniel-oginga929]

These are becoming so hard to find. Please pick up all things you would take if you had the flu, a toothache, stomachache, cut, burn, sprained arm, etc. if you can’t get out you may have to keep an injury stable for a while.

[@NissieShay]

I like to keep a lot of Q-tips, shaving cream, and razors on hand, as well. Thanks for another great video!

[@homemakingwithdenise]

Oh...I forgot razors and q-tips, so yes. Good call. Thank you.

[@davidbown2707]

You can use all of the toothpaste up, soap etc. most people waste too much. You can strop your razors and extend their life. Don’t keep them in the shower etc

[@NissieShay]

Another youtuber I watch suggested writing the date you open a product - soap, shampoo, etc - and it will help keep you mindful of how much you're using. I haven't tried it yet, but it makes sense. I also have a razor strop that belonged to my great grandpa. Still works good as new. 😊

Buy baby wipes on sale. Usually cheaper than the flushable wipes.

Flushable wipes aren't really flushable, don't want a plumbing issue in a SHTF situation.

I would like to suggest adding a tooth numbing agent, (we have a product called Bonjella here in Australia), in case you are unable to get to a dentist 😩 as well as dental floss. Love the thoughtful videos from you Denise 💛 God bless, from your Aussie friend Deb 🇦🇺😉

[@homemakingwithdenise]

Hi Deb, I'm so glad you're here. You are right...I forgot to mention dental floss. I do have a bunch of that but didn't think to pull it out but yes, the tooth numbing agent would be good to get too. I will mention that when I do the medicine cabinet.

[@kyfaithhavenfarm9228]

Dental floss is something we can’t live without lol. Also, with my Alpha-gal tick disease I have to use Vegan products. The dollar tree recently had vegan body wash and deodorant made by Arm and Hammer! Score!! Yep, I bought several.

[@kamloopscruiser874]

So right! The little comforts that we take for granted. But if we were unable to get out..... good reminder.

[@juliej6642]

You thought of so many things I wouldn't have thought about! But deoderant is in my "stock pile". Also nail polish, remover, and cotton pads. Witch hazel is my astringent of choice. The dollar store has some of these items. I have seen dial and other name brands there. It's hit or miss. But a good place to look. Family dollar also has some discount items like baby wipes and shampoo.

My friend told me a story about one time when the kids were playing, it got very quiet all of the sudden. She went back to check on them. As it turns out, they had taken her maxi pads and were pasting them to the wall 😂😂😂.

Great video! A couple of things I didn't see mentioned were tweezers ( I seem to have exchanged eyebrows for chin hairs), eyeglass repair kit and nail polish/remover I have always believed that skin care is more important than makeup. Cleanse and moisturize!. Also, you can make your own body scrub by mixing sugar (some prefer salt) and any type of oil. I use olive oil. A few drops of essential oil for fragrance (optional). Mix and add oil to get the desired consistency. Store in an airtight container.

When I work on my pantry I always keep my dogs in mind. I have 2-130 pound American Staffordshire Terriers. I always keep Q-tips to clean your ears but not down inside of course, peroxide in case they swallow something they shouldn't or have a tummy ache, and melatonin in case they get freaked out and can't rest. Also I'm making my own hand sanitizer these days so I have to get alcohol when available and aloe vera. So many hand sanitizers are on the recall list I can't keep up and that's including the Dollar Trees

😂My thought exactly🙋

[@tiara424777]

Diva cups and reusable pads definitely rock and are less waste

I call these necessities because it’s toiletries and thing’s you need. Good point about the yeast treatment and getting meds for things you’re prone to and pampering supplies.

[@kathyressler4764]

Vaseline, witch hazel and Epsom salts all three have multiple uses. Can't wait for next video.

[@acozylifestylewithclearissac]

Good one Denise. All of these items are truly important. I will add toothpaste and mouthwash. Also dental floss. TFS and take care.

[@NorthcoastPatty]

You are a pleasure to listen to. I love your good sense approach to being prepared!!!

[@kbaxter1996]

Epsom salt is good for baths too

[@daniellebudick9485]

Hey Denise. Instead of Dixie cups, I get the mini plastic solo cups at Dollar Tree. I rinsed them out (I guess you can hand wash if you so wish) and use one per week. It’s just me, so they last. 22 cups come in a bag so one bag will last approximately 41/2 months.

[@allietheoutcast7615]

Castille liquid soap is great because it serves multiple uses and is made of mostly natural ingredients. Can be body wash, face wash, shampoo, dish soap, and laundry soap because its very mild and not harsh in anyway but still gets dirt and washes skin very nicely.

[@kbaxter1996]

Hi Denise, the pass are good to use for bleeding if an injury. They can be used for medical purposes. It's always good when you can have an item that's works for multiple purposes.

[@marthahansen6123]

Such a good reminder, thank you! I have some holes in my preps that I will be sure to fill. And I shop for my mom who lives in an assisted living apartment, so will stock up for her too .

[@valenciadelavegadelloyd1226]

Terrific haul! I’d add floss, a good set of manicure & pedicure tools, a good foot/callous scrubber.

[@barbarareel71mom1son04]

Hi Denise, I would add a nail kit to my pantry because I'm the hang nail queen 😁. I keep nail files and a clipper case in my purses, the bathroom, as well as my work desk. Also, I suffer from anxiety, and I would add chewing gum because it relaxes me. I definitely stock up on sugar-free gum. Lastly, I'd add lip care to include a scrub and lip balm because my lips can become dry and brittle. Therefore, I keep a few tubes of Carmex lip balm.

[@torreb3107]

Be sure to be prepared if you have a young lady in the house, she may not need pads today but might need them eventually. Also how about some birth control? Might come in handy.... just saying

[@homemakingwithdenise]

Girl, you are hilarious. I did forget to say about the young ladies that may be coming into time to start their cycles. I meant to do so and I forgot. So true. If you've got 11 and 12 year olds, you know that time is coming so yes, get prepared and birth control.... hahaha! Do you know how many babies there are gonna be from this first shut down? Yeah! I will be sure to mention birth control when I do the medicine cabinet video. Thanks for the reminder!

I loved that you mentioned make-up. I do not do my make-up daily but I do like to have a little mascara and lip gloss/ stick at minimum. It just makes me feel better. And, if/ when things get difficult, it'll be the little things like those that will lift the spirit, I was also sure to add a nail kit to take care of cuticles, hang nails, etc. as I may be working with my hands more or in a different way. And, of course, a first aid kit. Part of me wants a kit that has everything possible, but also just having the basics will make a huge difference. I'd love to know if you have a medical kit yet and what you have in it. I also take a beta-blocker and have since a child so I've been researching natural beta blocking herbs and foods in case I cannot get my prescription. I just love your sweet spirit and your videos.

[@10feralratsinacoat76]

For period products, I think diva cups and period underwear are really good choices for prepper pantries since they are reusable.

[@homemakingwithdenise]

You know, I've heard of people speak about these products but I've not seen any research on them nor can I recommend them for young girls. Frankly, I don't know much about them. I must take a look since you bring them up.

[@vivianp5962]

Whats "period underware" ? Old ones or is there an actual product called "period underware"? Just making sure im not missing something. 😁

[@10feralratsinacoat76]

A .L.L. They’re extra absorbent underwear that’s meant for wicking up blood. They’d work as replacements for panty liners rather than replacing a pad or a tampon.

[@Cookingwitnikki]

I absolutely love this video. It is very informative. I am slowly but surely adding to my pantry every chance I get. Thank you so much

[@vlogsbymisscandice5589]

These are such great ideas! I always stock up on bath salts, bath bombs, bubble bath and floss picks also.

[@askmslynnllc5363]

I think multi purpose on my pantry. I use lavender baby oil or lavender baby lotion for mosquito repellant (softens skin and pleasant smelling to us). Baking soda is a must in my bathroom. I put a cup or two in my bath for a relaxing soak. Baking soda in the bath water will reduce itching from allergies and bites. Baking soda is also good as a cleaning item. I make cleaning powder by adding dish soap watered down with equal amount of water to baking soda until baking soda starts to clump and then letting dry. For the toilet add a little more dish soap to baking soda so it will hold to gether in little small egg size balls (put a couple glugs of vinegar in toilet and then drop in toilet bomb to clean toilet). Baking Soda can also be used to degrees hair between washings (sprinkle a little in hair, rub to roots, brush out baking soda). Body or baby powder is a good degreaser for the hair. Sprinkle powder in hair, rub to roots, and brush out powder. Female sanitary pads are good to keep in first aid kit. It will absorb blood until can get medical care. To keep from being the cause of the store shelves from going bare I buy no more then either double normal purchase or one extra a week if not normal weekly item. Being gluten free I am more limited on what I can use and am amazed at how many gluten free items are out of stock.

[@jdusenberg]

I was listening intently till u started talking bout tampons and cosmetics. Lol. I would add suture kit and vodka in case shtf ,doctors nurses and hospitals may be shut down in a crisis. Obsessive prepper az recommended a suture kit and alcohol in case we need to perform a minor procedure, I would hate to have to stich a loved one but we will do whatever we have too. Stay safe

I second the baby wipes we use them all the time. The all natural ones are great make up facial wipes. Tooth floss, disposal razors, shave cream, nail care if you like to keep your nails done. Epsom salt and some essential oil or a nice bath soak. I know some things aren't necessarily must haves but it's nice to be able to do something nice for ourselves especially in stressful situations.

[@homemakingwithdenise]

Yes, certainly during a stressful time, the ability to take a nice soothing bath will be huge! I forgot about razors and shave cream. I've got lots of nail care stuff so I forgot to mention it. I'll get the Epsom salt when I do the medicine cabinet video next week.

[@coronayup]

Ha! Your story about your daughter and the Playtex reminded me of an incident with my children. There was a commercial for a laxative product called Doxidan. A man strummed on a guitar while singing Doxidan, Doxidan, no surprises. Doxidan, Doxidan, sure as the sun rises. My daughter and my son, ages about 4 and 3, were fascinated by that commercial. One day we were shopping in a nice department store when my daughter began reciting the Doxidan song. I whispered to her to stop singing the song in the store because Doxidan was medicine that people needed to help them "poo poo". She yelled loudly to her little brother, whose nickname was T.T., "Hey T.T.! Doxidan makes you poop!" So much for delicate behavior in the department store.

Don't forget cotton balls and Vaseline. They're good for a number of things but one important 1 is fire starting. Vaseline on dryer lint tucked inside a toilet paper roll and you're ready to go. I always keep Alka-Seltzer also. You want the plain cheap kind not the one that has the cold and flu Etc. Great for a UTI and can hold you over till you can get help.

[@RAnderwill]

hi denise! I love your channel and this style of video, and well all your videos. i just wanted to leave a little side note on some of your prep stuff (in the perspective on what we do on a very limited budget / supply chain break, and the idea of using items from a bug out bag or evacuation style prep. we live in a land of fire so while its always encouraged to shelter in place, my guy and i try to be more prep leave ready ) in regards to the toilet tires.. idk this might seem gross to others but we use make up wipes as facial tissue and hand wipes as here in Southern california.Sometimes we just can not find or are priced out of things like actual facial tissue or baby wipes (these are wic items so i try to be very cautious buying these. i dont want a baby to lose out when i can use something else). for shampoo, this hasn’t been a huge issue for us since we both use the same shampoo and i really dont use conditioner, but i have found that we stretch things a little farther if we buy the 3 in 1 or use soap for our hair - while i know that is insane , we also use coconut oil afterwards to soften. i think for many that havent done this it might seem odd but again im speaking from a shelf stable travel perspective / budget . we also use coconut oil for moisturiser and make-up remover. in regards to feminine hygiene, i loathe pads but they seem to go a father distance as far as actual female .....use, BUT tampons make great fire starters so i always try to have them in our bags. i just wanted to leave this comment in case you were ever to run out of items, many things have amazing multiple uses.

[@homemakingwithdenise]

Hey Dawg, I plan on doing a medicine cabinet video next week. I'll be sure to put these items in. My problem, though, is two of my meds are two expensive to buy more than a month at a time. One of them cost $290 when I've used enough benefits, otherwise its $400. The other is $171.00. The rest I can get for 90 day supply.

[@Nesie1965]

I get the 3in1 shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. It let's me stock up on all three things at once and I know it will be used. I was buying conditioner and things separate, but the conditioner would just sit in the closet. Now it's 3 in 1 so I know we have everything and it will be used...also, saves space in the closet. The kleenex are nice to stock up on also, in the event you run out of TP.....I never thought about it before, until things became hard to find.....I was able to find the tissues when TP was out of stock. So now I keep boxes of tissues on hand just in case. Sometimes you have to think about how things can be used in other ways. Don't forget medications whether they are OTC or prescription.,...a good first aid kit is a must. I take injections, so I am making sure I have plenty of alcohol pads and other supplies on hand. Keep pets in mind....food, treats, and medications. There's a lot to take into consideration. I think what has helped me, is if I'm buying something that we need this week, I pick up an extra.....if you have a grocery app, review past purchases and the frequent items will soon pop out at you. Those are the items you want to make sure you have on hand.

If you have a Costco membership, they have hand sanitizer available in the larger bottles with the pump dispensers. You can use those to refill smaller ones you keep in your car(out of the sun), or in your pocketbook, backpack, etc.

[@homemakingwithdenise]

I don't have a Costco membership. I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to spend $60 for a membership! What do you think?

[@LindaCBMediaGroup]

@@homemakingwithdenise I believe it is. I've included my daughter and son-in-law in my membership, and we divide some items we purchase there. When shopping for your 3 month, or more pantry, I find it to be a very valuable resource. In my area they're very well stocked at this time. Flours, sugars, yeast, herbs and spices. Their Kirkland brand canned meats a very good. Their prices on these staples are extremely good. You do have to buy the larger sizes, but, that's were sharing can come in for many people. Personally, I've been working on a longer term pantry, so a purchase of a 25lb bag of flour doesn't phase me at all, and I buy my sugar in the 10lb bags for ease of lifting. You can also get many of your OTC medications in larger bottles, and at a lower cost. You should also check their pharmacy prices against what you're paying now for any routine prescriptions you have. Something many people don't know is that you don't have to be a member to use their pharmacy. I can also say that around here, their price per pound for fresh meats, especially beef and pork have been the best I've found. I've put enough in my deep freezer to last me quite some time.

I'd add hair coloring if you use it, dry shampoo, and hair spray. In a SHTF grid down situation, hairspray can be used to start a fire :) And PLEASE have enough birth control!

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this: got Costco brand of baby wipes. Use them for my mom with limited mobility in between her baths. Also, Clorox wipes have been unavailable for about 6 months in my area. Took one package and experimented with making my own Clorox wipes. Took about 1/2 ounce of Clorox to 5 ounces of water in my case. Recommended solution is actually 1 part Clorox to 9 parts water to make a 1:10 solution. This is just an experiment from other vids I have seen. I’ll let ya know how it turns out. Also, I plan to use these wipes pretty quickly as they lose potency over time.

Yes, once you dilute that bleach it breaks down quickly so just do it up in small amounts. I do like the idea of making your own if necessary.

Q-Tips ,wet ones, and mineral oil.

[@annalisarussell2983]

Thank you, Denise! Watching this video made me realize I need to buy more shampoo, lotion, etc. :)

[@homemakingwithdenise]

We just want to be prepared for what we might need.

[@jeanetteschulthe1andOnly]

With the personal items and cleaners, another list of mine is household (natural chemicals) such as vinegar, baking soda, witch hazel, epsom salts, alcohol, I have diatomaceous earth, oils, etc.

[@homemakingwithdenise]

I cant remember if cleaners were in my first grocery haul or not. I' ll double check and if not, be sure to mention them. I do have a medicine cabinet video planned for next week.

[@jeanetteschulthe1andOnly]

I knew I was missing one...hydrogen peroxide.

[@theresarosenberg6170]

Dental Floss, Razors for men and women, shave cream if needed

[@silverstackergrandmarosero6983]

do you have an additional heat source and oil lamps for lights out situation?

[@homemakingwithdenise]

No Rose, we should probably get some oil lamps. We do have a generator to help with some of that but I’m not sure how many things he can hook up to it. We also have several large flashlights or lanterns. I should check their batteries,

[@jeanetteschulthe1andOnly]

There is always olive oil and herbs. I do stock up on olive oil, have a tree and herbs in the yard.

[@homemakingwithdenise]

An olive tree? How nice. Where do you live that you can have an olive tree?

[@jeanetteschulthe1andOnly]

Hey Denise , you were live on sept 26 is it possible for you to make that available it has a lot of great information. Thanks

[@homemakingwithdenise]

Hi Earl, it's available now. I used my IPad to do the live and whenever I do that, it takes forever to process. The processing is done, I actually created a thumbnail, and you can get to it. I'm so glad you found me. Where are you in your prepping journey? How can I help you and yours?
