I watch the sales at all local stores. We also have a Discount food store close to us and it gives 10% discounts to seniors. I also shop at Aldis when I can get there. We have 2 in our area but both are a 11/2 hour drive away, so not often.

Once you make your own hummus you will never want store bought again! I'm Lebanese and very particular about my hummus. Easy recipe: one can of chick peas drained ~ it usually is about 1 1/2 to 2 cups of chick peas. ( Some companies add more water than others. I prefer the Cedar brand which I get at a middle eastern market. Packed to the brim and very good flavor for a canned chick pea.) 3 heaping TB of sesame tahini, FRESH lemon juice (squeeze it yourself!) 1 1/2 to 2 lemons usually gives the perfect amount of juice for this one batch. 2 large bulbs of FRESH garlic. Blend in food processor, adding water a little bit at a time for consistency. Add good sea salt to taste. Trust me....use all these fresh ingredients and you will never want store bought again! I also want a report back! lol Good luck!

[@GreyManPrepping]

Thank you so much for the recipe! I will definitely let you know how it comes out! 😁

I went to Aldis yesterday. I live alone so I usually don't buy flats of things. I'm glad you mentioned sweets and spices. They make a big difference. Bought 4 pouches of dried fruit. I have tried gardening 2 years in a row and had some success and some failures. I found myself in need of shopping for fresh produce to can myself. Just finished canning beef, chicken and sausages. Keep up the good work!

[@GreyManPrepping]

Thank you for the support! 🙏 Gardening has its ups & downs but keep pushing we learn from our failures. I just started canning myself, been learning a lot 😁👍

Thanks for sharing what you bought at Aldi. I would like to see you compare the different Spam type meats.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Will do 😁 and thank you!

[@harrietsigrist7894]

I purchase diced ham in cans and use them to season the beans that I have pressure canned. I open my canned beans that are basically cooked, use small amount of oil, brown onions, diced ham and garlic, pour in the beans and heat for a short amount of time. Dry beans cooked in no time! The diced ham is purchased at walmart, in my area, cost is $1.58 per can.

[@GreyManPrepping]

That's a great price, I'll have to take a trip down to wally world 😁👍

Great video Grey. I am running out of space. My long term dry goods and freeze dried are stacked in the garage. I have my canned food in bins by best buy year date. 2025 are together, 2026, etc. My working pantry right now is 2023 items. I will be pulling in the 2024 items. By July of 2024, I usually donate anything left from 2023. It is a major task keeping up.

Thank you, Kris, and yes it can be a lot of work especially if you're doing it solo, I've been working on getting the family to work as a unit, it's getting there 😁🙏

You can make your own baking powder. It’s two parts cream of tartar (potassium bitartrate) with one part baking soda (sodium bicarbonate and one part cornstarch to keep it from clumping together.

I bake all our bread; I store my yeast in the freezer, I’ve never had a problem. Your got some great items, wish I had an Aldi nearby.

From all the research I've done it's the best method for storing yeast 😁👍 Fresh homemade bread is the best!

So many people are posting videos about the high cost of food, yet they don’t seem to be using wisdom. They need to take cues from this channel about getting the most for your money. My family could eat for a month off that haul. I think the price was really good for the amount and variety. Well done!

[@GreyManPrepping]

Well said Sonja, thank you 👍

[@jennifergerman6154]

Check your area for salvage grocers. I have found a few within an hour of my house. A lot of these are food distributors that may have damage cases that they open because some of the cans are still good. Usually these are bulk sizes for a good percentage off. If you have Mennonite or Amish communities near you a lot of time you can get kitchen staples cheaper.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Thanks for the tip Jennifer, I will definitely do some searching 😁👍

Hi GreyMan! I like Aldi for their scrumptious chocolates, ready-to-eat entrees, pantry staples, cheeses, and frozen foods. A favorite meal is sautéing fried onions and then adding vegetables and a meat to the pan. Add rice or noodles or potatoes or beans to the pan. Season to taste. Thanks for sharing your choices. Last thing, Aldi's chocolates are good as Lindt or Godiva for a lower cost.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Thank you! And yes thier chocolate's are wonderful! 😊

[@lindabopp6579]

I think you did great. You definitely was in the right place at the right time. I too prefer canned food for lasting long. I put pancake mix in 1/2 gallon canning jars. Only keeping 2 at a time when one is gone buy new and refill. We don't eat pancakes often enough to do more. Really looking forward to you trying the different spam. Have a good evening Grey Bless you and your family 🙏❤️🙏

I do the best I can with what I have but I buy canning jars and then frozen vegetables and pressure can them and can reuse my jars year after year !!! I find it’s cheaper in the long run and healthier … you can’t reuse the metal cans for food but canning jars are a great investment

Put your pancake mix in a mason jar with lid and ring only it will seal itself naturally because of the ingredients been doing it a while we stock syrup but also raw honey it never expires

Great tip! I've read mason jars with a desiccant is one of the the best methods. I love honey, I currently stock about 75lbs of local honey as you said the shelf life is indefinite 😁👍

[@vickyoftexas]

Good haul, but…Protein, protein, protein! Most of us have lots of carbs stored in our Prepper pantry, but we need more protein. As a senior citizen I became aware I was not eating enough protein. Get more while we can still afford it. I have a Gordon Foods within walking distance & they have a large selection to choose from. I can get a 40 pound box of chicken legs at $.49/#. I can them up & have the makings of a delicious meal. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@GreyManPrepping]

Agreed! I have 3 deep freezers and cases of canned beef, chicken, and pork from Keystone, just started stocking up on their turkey as well. In the freezers we fish & hunt a lot, the larger of the 3 we use for our store-bought meat. Have a great weekend Vicky 😁🙏

Thanks for recommending the canned chicken and ham. Canned meat has been somewhat neglected in my pantry. I love Aldi! I have bought mushrooms to dehydrate. I used their diced tomatoes to make homemade tomato soup and then dry yields soup. I buy organic greens to make smoothies. I also dehydrate greens. I am elderly and somewhat disabled so appreciate the being able to have Aldi deliver my food. I do not do big buy purchases but always include some groceries for long term storage in each order.

I have vacuum sealed various dry mixes that was supposed to last only 6 to 12 months last years, over 12 years and the baking soda and powders worked like the day I put it up. I use glass canning jars. So those boxed/bagged mixes should still last years vacuum sealed in glass jars.

[@GreyManPrepping]

I'll give it a go, I have some large ball jars.

[@missreynolds3637]

We also can up our own dry beans and meat for quick meals too more cost effective for us that way. I made another post about making and canning our own spam as we use it a lot. I don't know what happened to it? It's cheaper for us to do it that way with on sale pork roast and ham. I make our own sausage italian which I crumble pre cook and can or I make meatballs out of it and can it too and breakfast sausage which I pre cook in patties and freeze, out of on sale pork roast as well too. My next thing I am going to try to make out of on sale pork roast is home made chorizo.

[@GreyManPrepping]

These are some really great uses for the sale items you pick up, very resourceful 😁👍

[@NissieShay]

Great haul! I refused to try any other brands except Spam. Then I think it was Rudy (Alaska Prepper), who was talking about how good the Great Value brand is. I tried it and he was right. In fact, if someone else cooks and I don't know which one they made, I can't tell the difference. I would love to see a comparison video.

Evening Grey. I have been shopping aldi since they opened here. Lately the prices have gone up but it is still a better deal than many of the traditional groceries. On the pancake mix, i always make my own from scratch, is cheaper and last longer. Our local aldi has not had the ten pound rice for a long time. The gallon jugs of water are still cheaper than most places. I do stock the oats, but repackage them for long term storage. Good haul. 👍

I know that the fake "maple syrup" is cheap, but the real maple syrup is way better and better for you. The cheap stuff is just corn syrup, which has its own issues. Just some input from the northeast. (Maple country) i will tell you though, the aldi pancake mix is one of the best. It only takes water, which is a plus compared to others that require oil and eggs. We always use the aldi panncake mix.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Your absolutely right! I have a friend at the farmers market who has relatives who make their own up north. I told him that I'd love to buy a whole case 🤣👍 So hoping it all comes together 🤞

A gallon of it costs between 48 and 60 bucks, and will last you a lot of pancakes. One farm up here cans it in 12 oz cans. Talk about shelf life!

I love shopping at Aldi's! My daughter introduced me to the store when I was visiting her. She lives in Switzerland! What is amazing is many of the items they stock are available in both countries!! Their chocolate is top notch! In both countries! That is where I stock chocolate from! The canned chicken is wonderful in chicken and rice; I have even made chicken salad out of it and it is yummy. I don't buy their pancake mix only because I make my own and it is delicious. I don't have to wonder what is in it!! Unfortunately I can't prep much any more since my budget has shrunk considerably and prepping is out of the question. I think Walmart and Aldi's have the best prices as well as United Grocery Outlet which is in my state of Tenn. Thanks for the great videos!

Found your channel a few days ago. Enjoy watching your hauls. I'm attempting to do a bit of prepping . Have started mostly with canned meats and recently ordered some freeze dried items. I live in a small condo so hopefully I'll be able to get some more food stored in my limited space. My main store is AlDIs. I'm interested in the ham. Most canned hams are extremely high in sodium.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Some options in small spaces are tile tubs to slide under the bed or organize a closet to add some food there as well. Yes, spam and canned ham are high in sodium, depending on your dietary restrictions salt does have its benefits as well.

I agree lol I was thoroughly happy with the texture and taste. I've been adding a cube to my coffee in the morning lol 😆

[@yarnprepper]

@@GreyManPrepping oh my gosh how is that? My husband is a mocha coffee fans.

[@debbieolin8153]

American chocolate has more sugar and shortening. I definitely prefer European chocolate and Nestle chocolate chips. Hershey added 15 % shortening a while back as $$ was more important than quality!!!

[@yarnprepper]

@@debbieolin8153 Aldi chocolate chips are very good, I wonder if Nestle makes them?

[@JamieJoCribbs]

Great Haul! We too purchase a lot of the items you have but a few items like the ham, oats, and pancake mix we haven’t tried from ALDIs yet. Glad to see the freeze dried strawberries and apples. We will need to pick some up as well.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Thank you 😁 Yes I was very surprised to see the freeze-dried fruit options available. Have a wonderful day 🙏

[@joyceterra2265]

Buttermilk powder will get hard, like cement. It needs to be refrigerated after opened and over time. I make my own buttermilk pancake dry mix and then refrigerate it. Then I just have to measure out what I want and then add the wet ingredients when ready to use. It is a lot more expensive than it used to be but in todays climate, you got a lot for your money. A great haul.

Great tip Joyce, You'll have to send me your recipe 😁 I hope you have a great weekend 🙏💛

Joyce, I've seen it sold online in chunks. You just grate it. I like to make cornbread with mine because I never use a whole quart of fresh buttermilk.

[@joyceterra2265]

@@rhondacalderone862 Thank you for the tip. I have one in the cabinet right now. I was thinking of breaking it down and putting it into the grinder and making it a powder again. I just was not sure how it would blend with water or other ingredients but going to try. No harm no foul.

Absolutely 😊

Great haul Grey Man I love fried Spam and the Aldi brand is delicious, also as I'm sure you know the canned chicken makes a yummy chicken Alfredo we add either broccoli or green beans. I love your channel and don't mind if the video is a little long🤗🤗🙏 Kendra

[@GreyManPrepping]

Thank you so much Kendra, I really appreciate the support 😁🙏 And yes love the chicken, we have come up with many different ways to incorporate it into our recipes 😁💛

[@coloradopackratprepper]

Myself i hav now started buying canned foods in 52s. So i only hav to eat it once a week. Sometimes it takes several weeks to collect 52. Now i have enough 52s that i might only hav once every 2 weeks to once a month. So it dont get boring eating. Once a month now means 4yrs worth of food. It took several years to do this. Now it is a lot easier to fill in the gaps. Lolol sorry so many comments!!!!!

[@GreyManPrepping]

[@GreyManPrepping]

Thank you, I was planning on adding the prices due to your previous comment and I lost my receipt 🤦 So I tried to add a few clips of pricing and the total at the end, I'll try to remember next time. Because I'd like to compare prices on products from different stores. Thank you so much for watching 💛🙏😁

[@katskills5560]

Yes it’s a great deal, smart shopping. That food alone should last quite a while depending on how much your family eats. However if you need to ration it out a bit to extend it, I’d say you’re doing good! I’m going to go to Aldi and check it out!

[@GreyManPrepping]

Thank you, and yep absolutely. We are a family of three so it should last for a bit. I like Aldi's because they have some of the best deals in my area.

[@JenniferD.-wt4uj]

[@janiefox3458]

Your canned chicken is great in slippery pot pie - - it's a PA Dutch dish -- very filling. I'm sure a recipe can be found on You Tube for it. I have been pantry prepping since mid pandemic days -- and have converted an unused bedroom into my pantry. I live alone but my son and family live a mile away and I know they haven't prepped much so if something would happen I hope to have enough to share. Recently started making beer bread - sure wish I had known about this in the no yeast pandemic days.

[@GreyManPrepping]

That's exactly what I did "Great minds think alike" 😁 I converted my spare room into a mini grocery store and that's very kind if you thinking of others 💛 Have a beautiful day!

(RWR) When into our local Pig recently, never again. Not sure how they're staying open. Baking powder, baking soda and salt I just seal in mylar or canning jar, no o2 absorber.

I shop at 5 different grocery stores in my area, 2 are large chain stores, then there's Walmart and 2 natural food stores. There's also an Aldi that opened a few years ago but I've never felt the need to shop there since have so many other choices. However, I may have to check out their chocolates since never had any from Germany.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Those are very smart shopping techniques Dale 😁 The chocolates are delicious 💛

[@janpenland3686]

Thanks Grey. I love Spam. I think the GV tastes more like the original Spam that I grew up with than the Spam we have now. IMO the CV is nasty and I've never had the Brookdale. I make my own pancakes from scratch omiting the sugar. That way if I want to make extra to have for another meal then I have it on hand. I also make my own baking powder; 1 part baking soda and 2 parts cream of tartar. You can add 1 part cornstarch if you want to stretch it. The ingredients don't go bad until they're mixed making the shelf life much longer. You can make as much or as little as you want. Also, if you buy the jars of yeast then 7 grams = 1 packet. My hubby uses the pancake syrup but I prefer real sweeteners; maple syrup, honey, cane syrup or sorghum. So I stock all of them. Much Love ❤

[@GreyManPrepping]

Great info Jan, and I agree the ingredients definitely store much longer separately vs mixed in a box. I prefer the good stuff as well mainly local honey, but my daughter she's a different story 🤣 Thank you for the visit Jan 🙏💛
