When I was a single mom and worked at a restaurant, I would try to get a few condiments everyday, they were free, that helped me on saving a few dollars on my groceries

[@dsa2591]

HAHA! I still do that now. Grab a few sugar or sweetener packets and some catsup. The catsup can go bad, so I fill a baggie and put it into the freezer. Mustard never goes bad.

[@everestritter7140]

I still do that ! That is awesome

[@SirenaSpades]

I did that too - when I worked at a hospital (the cafeteria)

I can, I dehydrate, I freeze and I ferment. I say that to say that even if you do all the things you will still find gaps in your preps. I stockpile everything I can afford to. We must be vigilant and thinking outside the box is paramount now. Thank you Tessie for another great video. 👩‍🌾🏡☮💚

[@wendybaron2574]

This video was perfect time for me. I have been looking for a pressure canner in our upcycle community with no luck. So I said to the Lord, I’m not going to worry about this. I know you will show me what I am supposed to do. Then I started thinking about buying canned goods etc. And now your video. God is good. I know If I do what I can He will take care of the rest.

[@debheesen2097]

Lot of good tips in this KZbin nothing wrong with using commercially canned products. I've got a mix of both in my pantry, sometimes you can buy it cheaper than you can grow it. And yes I see that doorway opening getting smaller such a feeling of unease. Thank you for helping us meet these times

[@dsa2591]

Exactly! I do try not to buy too many acidic foods, because they leach the metal out of the cans if the cans aren't lined, but sometimes I buy canned food and dehydrate it if I find it on sale.

[@kimberleemonroe2255]

Thank you. One of the best on prepping. We have always canned etc but the last two years our family have been preparing and getting ready for the days ahead. I have been saving up for a couple of years to purchase a wood cookstove and today we were able to order it! We have bought a hand pump for our well and a small solar powered generator. Sometimes it gets overwhelming like we are racing against the clock. Our next thing to stock up on is our animal feed . We have our winter hay but still need to stock up on chicken food and dog food. Feels like it doesn’t end. 😊

[@maureendietz622]

Been prepping for awhile. My kids make fun of me but I don't really care. I try to be prepared to the best of my ability. If nothing happens we still have food to eat. I don't can, I buy cans. Lol

[@MsVictory1945]

My local grocery stores tend to mark down meats first thing in the morning, so check in your area if you get there in the morning.

[@gmalisa4502]

If I might add, another thing to think about is.. what if I don't have electric or water or no way to cook anything.. I make sure when I prep, to pick up things I could eat right out of the can or box......canned beans, spaghettios, granola bars, etc. Also, another thing I do is, save water in gallon milk jugs..if something happens you don't have water, you'll need water to flush the toilet or bathe.

[@51Lorie]

Very good point!

[@lblake5653]

Butane stove from Walmart. Camping supplies. Even if you are getting EBT you can get freeze dried food. Check state and website for rules.

[@kesmarn]

I believe you're not alone in your concerns about what we may be facing in the fairly near future, Tessie. I've heard so many other people both online and in person who are not entirely sure what's coming, but who have a sort of uneasy feeling that something is. Your presentation here is so practical and organized -- with lots of helpful tips -- yet without being panicky. And so much of what you cover here is sensible advice for almost any type of potential emergency. Even if we were in a very low-risk, low-stress era (which unfortunately, we're not) these would just be wise actions to take. Kind of like having a blanket, water, shovel, etc., in your car for winter emergencies. Some things just make sense almost any time. But your words make sense right *now* especially! I think it's very reassuring for most subscribers to be reminded that they can take important steps to help themselves prepare for hard times, even if they aren't able to can or maintain a large pantry. Any time we feel less helpless, we feel more confident. And you helped a lot of people to feel more confident today! Thank you and many blessings!

[@kristinaatgreenmeadowswede6714]

Good morning from Sweden!💖 Warer is so important Tessie... And I see myself as very fortunate having my own well, a deep drilled one with very good water... And when electricity is gone then I fetch my water the old way, by using a bucket.. Even in wintertime, because the water do not freeze in the well! So grateful for that!💖👍🏻

[@bbhome1717]

Thank you Tessie. Great information. Agree with you on the Days of Noah. We have a mixed pantry. I really enjoy canning but some years you may not have some crops. Love you Tessie. Keep us inspired.

[@raggedblossom508]

Great suggestions! I don't can but it's amazing how much canned food you can buy for only a little outlay. Dried beans, rice, lentils etc come cheaper in bulk. That's all high protein, high nutrition, high energy food.

[@teresakryvenchuk6205]

My hubby loves Ravioli.He stocked up on can Ravioli. Slowly we are stocking up.

[@CB-pf7go]

So many good ideas for people who don’t can ( me 😬 ) I did a good amount of stocking up since the pandemic began and will do more as I think you are right about the coming winter and tougher times.

[@marthaadams8326]

I went back to the 2017 video - you sure have matured on camera 😃 Both of these videos are excellent. But as you mentioned, if they do not want to hear you -- there is nothing we can do to help them. I hope at least one hears this and it benefits them.

[@carlahoag7154]

Good advice and I appreciate you addressing the subject. I used to help my mother can peaches and tomatoes, and make jam, but haven't done anything like that for many years, and now I'm not able to. So, a couple of years ago I started buying extra food, but I didn't store it wisely. The highly unusual cold temperatures we had last winter here in Texas ruined a lot of it, and I learned a lesson. I would've been better off if I had stored it under my bed,

[@rcat32]

Canned food decades old that was frozen and unfrozen for decades was still good to eat when some people were snowbound in the woods and found an old cabin with ancient canned food. It kept them alive a week til rescued,,!

[@Mindy56743]

Canning has become my favorite hobby. I love to preserve different foods and seeing how much builds up with just a little bit of extra work. Just yesterday I was gifted almost 2 bushels of pears that I will be preserving. Once they are done I am so happy to look at them We are definitely living in the days of Noah. We have to make sure we are prepared and ready for the bride groom to show up and we still have oil in our lamps

[@Stoffmonster467]

Yes, but only in parts of Northern America. Nowhere else people believe in the end of days coming now, so I wouldn't worry. My pantry is full, but out of normal preparedness as our govenments suggests to have storage for 2-4 weeks in case of natural desasters.

[@Mindy56743]

@@Stoffmonster467 I don’t have near enough but continue to add to the amount. For me this has been a new hobby that I have enjoyed so much learning about and doing. I started with jelly and jams and have now got two pressure canners and two water bath canners. My mom is in her 70’s and has come over to help me and we are both learning. Some she remembers grandma doing but most is brand new to her. My grandma did a little bit of canning and my great grandma did a lot of canning. I was blessed that I was 30 years old before she passed away so I remember her canning.

I have the same reaction, Stephanie! I don't know why, but oatmeal just doesn't seem to "stay with me." I like the taste of it too, but I'm ready for lunch about 2 or 3 hours after I eat it!

I think everybody has a different reaction to different foods. I can’t eat just carbs for breakfast or I crash well before lunch. However, if I include eggs, sausage, or other protein foods, I don’t feel nearly as hungry at lunch. Protein and fat increases satiety.

[@sallym9769]

I canned for years. Now I live on the third floor in a tiny apartment with no extra room. Good ideas though Tessie. As a Type 2 diabetic, I eat mostly fresh food and very low sugar.

[@dsa2591]

Get a dehydrator! I live in 500 sf, and my dehydrator is the best money I ever spent. You can store more if it's dried, and it keeps forever if you put it into one of those $10 gamma lid buckets you can get at Lowes or HD. I have TONS of dehydrated food and dry goods stored in small bins on the space on top of my cabinets in the kitchen. I also put up shelving all around the top of my walls to put "pretty" storage. I get tomato boxes from the grocery store, dress them up with paint, material, or contact paper, and they are decorative and useful.

[@simplyamandashomesteadsampler]

You can also buy canned butter called Red Feather. It's kinda pricey but if you like your dairy, its a great option. I believe we are in the last days as JESUS said in The Bible.The Bible is GOD'S word. If you do not know JESUS , PLEASE turn to HIM! HE is coming soon and died for us so we could go to Heaven and forever be with HIM! TY Tessie! Blessings!

[@TheNoonie50]

Thank God someone did a video on this! I would also add that because canned meat is so expensive, people might want to consider stocking up on other fats. It doesn't matter what kind. Vegetable oil, olive oil, coconut oil, peanut oil. If times really got tough, a few teaspoons a day (about 5 per day for women) in whatever you have prepared will give you sufficient fat intake. I like to dry greens like kale and nettle and beet greens and then reconstitute in soups and stews during the winter.

Tessie this was an awesome video!! Like that you mention water. Could you do a video about your Berkey water filter??? Over the years I have gone in with a couple friends and bought cases of canned fruits, vegetables and even tuna. Most grocery stores in our area will sell cases of fruits, vegetables, tuna at cost, since their suppliers go by how many units are sold not what they sold for, so the stores often get a better deal when they reorder the item(s) Year round I tend to eat hot oatmeal. With some frozen or dried fruit in winter for breakfast, or overnight oats where I put 1/.2 cup of dry oatmeal in a pint Mason jars, then some sunflower seeds, cut up banana, apple, and some of my favorite milk, be it raw dairy milk or a nut milk and let sit in the refrigerator. The holidays are just around the corner and I encourage folks who want to can or dehydrate food, to speak up and tell family members that you NEED/WANT a pressure canner or a food dehydrator. As well as canning jars or other food preservation tools. Some of us went in together and bought a friend a small chest freezer so she can stock up on frozen vegetables or blanch and freeze vegetables she grows so she has food security. I have helped friends process meat chickens in exchange for the legs for stock and a few of the birds for my freezer. Hunting season starts next month so I will help friends cut up, wrap wild game (venison, elk, pheasant etc) in exchange for some of the meat. Networking with friends is so important!

You are so right!! Networking, community IS important!

Hello Tessie, it's not that I dislike canning, I just don't have the money to purchase all the supplies. So....thank you for your alternative tips. I live in the NE, so am concerned about being prepared for crisis. If/when grid goes down, it's going to be an even less choice of what to eat when can't use gas or electricity.

[@dsa2591]

Dehydating is awesome when you don't can and don't have much space.

[@roksannastephens4375]

@@dsa2591 yes, Tessie mentioned that. I'll have to look online for alternative ways of dehydrating , oven perhaps. Again I don't have or can afford the supplies for that.

[@rcat32]

I live below the poverty level and I can afford to can! Gradually I stocked up on canning jars and lids and bought a pressure canner, and got a dehydrator from a thrift store. Just bought a fermenting set from target. Some of my jars come from thrift stores and from garbage day or dumpsters. I save all glass containers and plastic containers and liquor and soda bottles too . The latter are good for spaghetti or water or rice.

[@terririccardi2194]

Good idea for everyone. I get stuff that isn't canned I put them into gallon mason jars sometimes if I have a lot I will oven can the rice or beans and flour. I do stock up on canned tuna, corn beef hash, spam just have to rotate the dates. Sending love, hugs and prayers Keep smiling sweetie xoxo

[@owen4248]

Good evening terri riccardi, I stock up on many canned foods too, tuna, beans, corn, and String beans:) Good advice from Tessie:) Have a blessed evening:)

[@dsa2591]

If you like corned beef, get cans of that too. It's great with cabbage.

[@marywalker2896]

I just watched a lady who is a science teacher and has been a prepper for many years said that oven canning does not work ..she has her own channel on u tube..goes by the name of rose red..can't remember her channel name thou...so please check that out..make sure that food is safe and will last .

@@marywalker2896 Are you thinking of RoseRed Homestead? She is a very knowledgeable lady! The Ball book says the jars aren't made for dry heat, they could be compromised. HTH ⚘

[@terririccardi2194]

@@marywalker2896 thank you I don't do a lot oven canning I just buy the bulk size bags to save money and it is only me so I only get maybe 5 quarts so that is it for the year. I've never had a problem and it has never gone bad on me.

I've been looking at my cupboards, to see what I'm lacking like corn meal, I bought those white canisters, at Dollar Tree, and Oxgen absorbers at Winco Grocery store, you can put flour, cornmeal, chocolate chips, salt ect in those containers, I use a sharpie and write on the lid, and cut the labels off for cooking instuctions, and tape it to the containers so now anyone in my family can read and see whats in the container, and I can go bulk shopping at my Winco, I just bought 4 pounds of sugar at .50 cents a pound bulk shopping is really nice and you can get as much or as little like bay leaves, I pick out around 10 leaves for about .4 cents, because I don't use bay leaves, but flour, sugar, I buy 4 to 5 pounds and refill those canisters.

[@dsa2591]

.50 a lb. for sugar? Wow. We have it for less than a dollar for 3 lbs. down here in FL, but of course, Big Sugar grows a lot of its cane down here.

[@rubywingo6030]

Great video! One thing to remember folks. ONLY buy what you will eat. Example: if you don’t eat canned carrots or black beans, don’t buy them. No matter how good the sale. Also, I stocked up on Cisco and butter flavor Crisco. Keep an eye on your oil, it can go rancid. A good rule of thumb for pantries is... three is two, two is one. Thanks Tessie for the comforting words! Blessings from Joplin!

[@cindynielson4231]

Great words of wisdom! I have been building a pantry room in our spare bedroom. I have to declutter a lot of unnecessary items. TFS

Hi Tessie I live in Barbados we import everything like Alaska. I want to learn how to dry freeze some of my food. I would like to can my food but we don't have canning containers to do canning. I am really enjoy your videos. Reminds me of my childhood. May God continue to bless you. Antoinette

Hello Antoinette. I am a fellow Bajan living in Canada for the past 50 years, but my family still lives there. Last time I was there was 2009 for my Dad's last illness and his death. Nice to meet you here with Tessie. I know what you mean about everything having to be imported. Stay safe and well and God bless you.

Sis Tessie your channel has inspired me for some years now. Basically, it's because of you I started thinking more frugal about everything. This year I have taught myself how to make jelly's and jam's and water bath can them, I love doing this. You have taught me not to throw away jars and also bigger cans as I use them for my plants now. You have taught me so many things, like making my own laundry soap, etc. Now if I could only make some of those beautiful candles you make. Thank you Sis Tessie for everything you do in trying to help others and God Bless you and your family.

[@jaynelymer6442]

This video was packed with great advice Tessie. I must admit I hadn't thought about sprouting but that's a great way to get something fresh. I agree about expiration dates I think you've got to use your common sense sometimes the date is just there because producers have to fulfill a govt requirement and the food has no idea it's life has been limited by a date on the package. You're absolutely on point that we've been given a chance to get our act together and we must do it, things are changing all over the world and it's our responsibility to take heed of the warning signs to the best degree we're able. Thank you Tessie for caring enough to share your knowledge and experience you truly will have blessed many people with this video. Love to you from 🇬🇧 🌹🌺

I'm sorry my children and this generation can never know the times I grew up in from 1950 on. But if you want a brief rest from all if this world, I found a channel called "COUNTRY LIFE VLOG". It takes place in a country called, Azerbaijan, I think it is around Turkey, Russia in that area. It is a family that lives totally off their land in the countryside. No modern conveniences, no fancy cooking equipment, they built their own house from scratch. Everything looks very primitive from our perspective, but all is very functional for what they need! All the cooking is done on open fires both indoors and outdoors, depending on the season. It is a husband and wife and the country type cooking she does is phenomenal! I thought of you because they drink fresh brewed herbal teas through the day, brewed with the fresh herbs she grows and dries, like you! You will love thus channel, there us no talking, just beautiful videography!( I don't know who videos this but they are talented!) She also preserves her food but does a lot of pickling of veggies, etc. So, so jnteresting! I get lost just watchjng! Very soothing! I really think you will love seeing these people and how, what we call primitive, they live from day to day and want for nothing!! Hope you get to check it out! I know you will like it! God Bless!

[@HomesteadTessie]

yes that is my favorite channel too !

[@LLjean-qz7sb]

I thought I found something that you did not know about!Lol! How about that knife! Looks like it was made from an old piece of a saw blade!! I get lost on that channel because of the no talking, just listening and watching! God Bless!

Good commonsense advice and tips for everyone, no matter where we live. The filming of your pantry is just beautiful Tessie and the strenuous work you have put in prepping to feed your family in case of looming hard times puts you way ahead of many. Your videos are uplifting and encouraging in the nicest possible way and your loaded shelves a work of delicious art. I wonder how many of us can be motivated to help ourselves like Tessie. 🐾🥰
