Walmart Prepping Haul July 2024 -- High Temps and High Prices -- Seniors Living On Social Security

Walmart Prepping Haul July 2024 -- High Temps and High Prices -- Seniors Living On Social Security

[@kathykrause8336]

Hi Calvin and Marie. My husband and I turned one of our bedrooms into a pantry. We have 3 years of supplies on hand. (Which I rotate often). It's money in the bank as groceries keep going up in price. I buy only on sale and then stock up. My husband and I also grow a garden and can a lot every year. Plus we eat lots of fresh vegetables from it. We have 4 big upright freezers. They all serve their purpose. One for my baked goods, breads, cakes, pies, cookies, chocolate chips, nuts, etc. Another for meat, chicken, beef, pork, fish, breakfast sausage, ring sausage etc. Another freezer for all my frozen vegetables of all kinds. enough for a year. And the last freezer is for convenient foods. Pizza, homemade pot pies, homemade egg noodles. Frozen prepared meals. It's all organized and rotated often. Some people might not agree with us, but we want for nothing. It's here and we are ahead by buying on sale. It must be our generation that we think alike.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Kathy. You are set up very good.

[@detour7790]

Congratulations. That is a lot of work😊

[@AuntieNiki]

We did the same thing... it's just my husband and I in a 3 bedroom house, so we turned one bedroom into a pantry/storage room.

[@kathyphilmurphy5517]

We have 2older sons. When they visit, I tell them to take what they need. I watch sales forcthe extra large size toilet paper and paper towels as that always seems ro be whatcthey take. Prepping is good for sons orcothercfsmily members that needcaxhelping hand.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

@@kathyphilmurphy5517 great idea

[@Deborah4Antiques]

We were teenagers the same as you in the 70's. We often say how simple and easy going things were then. As frugal people I can't imagine raising children, buying a home and just covering the cost of living nowadays. God grant us all the wisdom to make the best decisions for our lives. Deb🙏

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

So true Deb. Marie and I were just talking about that yesterday.

[@sarahcourtney1658]

That`s a nice lot to add to your pantry! One good tip I used to use when I was beginning years ago...when you use 1 can..buy back 2...don`t just replace the one ya used. You will find your supply will increase very quickly! You can do this on just about any foods that are not pricey (basic items). Just keep on going & you will soon be all set for whatever! Hugs & have a blessed weekend!!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Sarah

[@joyce9523]

Thank you for the tip, IWILL start doing that, I started with my stockpiling when, All the bad things started happening you just never no what tomorrow will bring ❤

I absolutely loved this video. Very motivating for my wife and I to do the same. We are both 38 and appreciate your wisdom and tips more than you know. Thanks for sharing! Love, Chris & Amanda from Perry

Hi Calvin and Marie I’m 84 and live alone. I have a very well stocked pantry. I just recently started to stock shelf milk. I got a recommendation about the milk which was a very good one. It is very good for baking,cooking and drinking. Nice cold very good for cereal also.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

That is awesome! We have just recently started stocking shelf milk and we have had very good luck with it.

[@glendasully]

That was a lot of work shopping, loading into your car, unloading & organizing on the table. Filming a video while doing this adds so much extra work. You actually did get a lot of food for $92.00. I enjoyed the video very much

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

.96 cents for a great value can of green beans? wow that's crazy. I think it was .62 cents just 2 years ago! Yes, store food for several months if not a a year or more and please pray for America. God bless. 🙏

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Yes, I remember when they were just .48 about three years ago. Thanks very much.

[@lf4061]

Don’t just get food to store for a year. That is how you waste money on food that is stored and expires. Just buy more of what you will regularly use and eat and when you replace what you use each week or month, put the newer ones in the back of shelf and always use the ones with closest best buy dates first.

[@RadianceRush]

@@lf4061 Yes, but you can also store food that can last 30= years like canned dried rice, wheat, beans, oats.

[@tamarascoloringcoven718]

@@lf4061 Im sure they do that already, but it always pays to be pre paired, as everyone should, may I ask what is so wrong with that. its everything they DO use up! And they haven't wasted any money as they use it up, tell me how that is wasting money please? You go by the date on the product use that first off you don't waste any food at all. It's just something everyone would (at least I think, would already know).

[@rfowler6039]

Yes, thank goodness we've had large increases in our Social Security over the last 3 years!

[@adataylor6793]

Amazing prices in the USA! Not here in Canada...it is crazy high for canned goods. Almost 3.00 for a can of soup so you did great! It is a good idea what you're doing for prepping. Yes, frozen is good but if there is no electricity then at least you have food. Praying that Marie will get her strength back with the heat and all, it's tough. Be safe and God bless you both and America, my good neighbors! P.S- I made your White Poke July 4th Independence Day CAKE today. Wish I could send you a pic! My grandchildren are coming tomorrow for lunch and a swim. Instead of those hard candy decorations, I just made an American flag with sprinkles, red, left the middle as it's already white and blue sprinkles and it looks amazing! Cant wait to try it! Big hugs!

Great haul. Nice to be stocked up. Marie, take care, bronchitis is a tough thing. Calvin, you have to need a nice long nap after all that loading the cart, unloading to check out, loading bags in cart, carrying in the house and then putting on the counter to show us...then putting in pantry.

👋 kids, I sooooo agree to prepare. I've been at it for prox 30 years. With lots of farms going fallow, lack of water retention, heat, and soaring prices, it's just nutso crazy to not stock up. In Tennessee, sales tax is added, nearly 10% BUT August, September , October, NO sales tax. So guess who is going to hit it hard. ME! Tennessee legislation is hoping to do away with the sales tax on food. Hope so. Marie, you'd think the heat would burn the bug out of you ! Great job guys. 🤗 🤗

Thanks very much Jan. Marie is starting to feel some better.

Starting tomorrow & for the next 10 days our forecast is days with temperatures of over 100, Monday is forecasted to be 108. We did Walmart grocery pickup at 8 this morning.

[@jmar665]

I love to watch folks buy groceries and prep. I get a lot of good ideas. I wasn't going to plant anything this year. But I love to grow and I love grounding and the fresh air. But I am watering every other day to keep the plants healthy. I planted 4 various tomatoes, and three green pepper plants. That is plenty for me. My grass looks like straw and we need rain. Make sure you have plenty of water on hand for drinking. And more for toilet flushing and general use. I prep the season ahead, so I will be shopping for fall and winter the next few food orders. Happy to see you both again and glad you are feeling better Marie. Take care, get plenty of rest because heat seems to make me tired. God bless. Great video.

99 degrees at 5:00 pm today. I have been doing some prepping too and it is very hard being a senior and just making ends meet. It being so hot, our power bills are going to be awful. If I get down to 1 can, I buy another can to add to my pantry. I have been trying to do better with my shopping. I went to the farmer's market to get some tomotoes and they are really good. It is so hot and you just can not beat a tomato sandwich. I love to take a tomato, onion, and cucumber and put either italian dressing or just vinegar, it is really good. Yall have a great weekend, be looking forward to Sunday chat.

[@GardenGal13]

You can put your flour and cornmeal in the freezer to keep it longer. If you don’t have room in your freezer for flour, make sure that you put it in there for at least three days to make sure that it kills any pests that live in flour. You can divide it up into Mason jars and keep it in mason jars with an oxygen absorber on your shelf or you can keep the mason jars in the freezer.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Yes, there is several ways to store flour.

[@carlamortenson5604]

Calvin and Marie, just a tip about the flour you want to store. Put the bags in the freezer for about one week to kill any bug eggs in the flour. The freezing will kill anything in the flour so it will not hatch before you use it. We do this here in the midwest and it works. Hope you can use this tip. Thanks for the video.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Carla, yes we do that

[@SusanJones-cv4wz]

Did you realize you bought the seasoned black beans? I mainly see them at WalMart. They are so good by themselves!! I'm 74 and enjoy your videos!! God bless!!

Hi Marie and Calvin. So glad you’re feeling better Marie. We are going to hit 100 today with a heat index of up to 108 it is hot. So grateful and thankful for air conditioning you guys take care and you’re right Calvin we may see some shortages on the shelf, even in the pet stores right now we are seeing holes on every shelf.

[@mjking6162]

A dietician told me that canned fruits and vegetables can be part of a healthy diet. If you're worried about the sodium in the vegetables and beans, you can rinse them off with water or look for low sodium or salt free varieties. We utilize canned vegetables and frozen more than fresh since we have health issues and our fresh might go bad before we can use them.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Good advice, thanks very much

[@vikkibyington3066]

❤Y’all did a great job prepping on this video! It is a very smart thing to do. Young people many times don’t think traumatic times will come but we older folks know it can and likely will even in our lifetime. This always reminds me of Joseph’s interpretation of Pharoah’s dream. 7 years of prosperity would be followed by 7 years of famine. I am praying for both of you to gain strength and receive complete physical healing. Bronchitis and shortness of breath is really hard to deal with. Even on 3 liters of oxygen I struggle to breathe if walking any distance at all. It could be worse, and it is for many. God bless you both. Love you. 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️

Marie, you are so wise to look ahead and anticipate the shortages and price increases. If neither one happens, you'll be just as glad to have that extra food on the shelves, but if you had not heeded that wisdom from the Lord and either situation occurred, you would be wishing you acted on that intuition. Keep on prepping! You're doing well. : )

Calvin, I have COPD so I struggle with being out of breath quite often. Between my breathing and my aching knees and legs, I don't go inside a grocery store very much. I have a Walmart+ membership and get groceries delivered to the house. I know a lot of people like to pick out their own food but Walmart saves me a lot of money and a lot of hassle. I have a rollator that I use. I have found that if I put a plastic bin on the rollator (or my husband's wheelchair), I can roll my supplies to where they need to go. That also makes it easier on me. When I do have to breakdown and go to the grocery store, I make sure I park right beside the buggy return. That's all I have to say, sorry for rambling. Just thought you might want to try the rollator trick. Have a great weekend.❤

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Yes, that is exactly what is happening

Here in Florida we have been under a heat advisory too and told to stay inside as much as possible and stay hydrated. I feel for those that have to work outside in this heat and hope their job provides lots of water for them. I noticed in the last 2 or 3 years ago that GV brand beans and vegetables went up from 50 cents to almost 90 cents. I like most GV brands. I usually get Pillsbury brand cake mix if it is available for delivery and it used to be around 98 cents or a dollar but now I noticed it is 1.27. Not a bad jump but dang something has to give with these food prices. If I can I buy canned vegetables with no salt added. You did good shopping. You don't have to explain what and why you do. Do what is best for you both.

Hey Debbie, at least we got some rain yesterday and today. It helped cool things off a little. Grass will start growing now and I'll be outside cutting grass this week but I'm not complaining at all.

One thing I like to do, and you might find it useful, is to get some of the empty or nearly empty boxes as I collect what I'm buying. Each box holds 12, and it makes it a bit easier to transfer to the conveyor belt to check out. The boxes are definitely easier to carry than loose cans in flimsy bags, and they stack neatly in your food storage pantry. Wal-Mart is only going to throw them away, so they don't care.

That's a great idea!

If you have an Aldi near you it has even better prices than walmarrt.

Thanks very much Gail. Aldi is not as convenient for us as Walmart is.

I cannot walk so I cannot shop at A l d I. Hip replacement and need replacement on the same leg in 3 weeks.So I need the electric scooter like marie used today. That's why I shop at walmart. Haven't been to a dollar tree in years since I can't walk. The employees at Walmart bring the scooter to my vehicle.I call the service desk when I Arrive and tell them what What aisle number I am n the parking lot. That is a blessing for disabled people.

[@cherylmartin-ed5wm]

Whoops, that should have said a knee replacement. Ha ha. These stupid phones

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

@@cherylmartin-ed5wm Yes, that is a blessing that Walmart does that.

Thank you for this wonderful prepping haul. Now, being our age, it's very hard to go out in this heat, we're in Beaufort sc. My husband and I are getting ready to go to Aldi for our weekly shopping. You two have provided many good tips. Marie, take care of yourself. Get some rest. God bless.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

You are so welcome! We also use Walmart grocery pickup. It makes it easier for us to especially in this heat.
