Why Do I Have a Stockpile? Should You Build a Stockpile, Too?

    I just wanted to share a tidbit I learned a few years ago about canned peaches. I always keep a couple of cans done in heavy syrup although I prefer the kind in juice. If you end up with a stomach virus, it is helpful for many that are experiencing nausea to actually drink a smaller can of the heavy juice liquid. For some reason it eliminates nausea/vomiting for many people. I have used this trick and it does seem to work!

    I just found your channel and subscribed. Love your content and how you present it! It’s just me at home these days and I am on a fixed income. I’ve always had extra in my pantry, even when my kids were little. I seldom ran out of things. 3 years ago, I started slowly building a true stockpile. I also stockpile my personal care and cleaning items. At this point I have close to a year’s worth of canned food put back. I’m trying to stay at $100 or less a month for groceries, and if it’s not on sale I don’t buy it. I bought a bread maker and bread flour so I can start making my own bread. One of my neighbors is working hard but struggling. I’ve been able to help her with groceries a couple of times over the last year. I’m blessed in return simply by being able to help her. I’m looking forward to seeing your next video!

What a win to have extra in the budget to stock up. Have you ever saved the budget surplus for other things like baking items in the fall, holiday meals, extra produce at harvest time to can or freeze, or purchasing beef from a farmer?

    • @joyfullythriving
      @joyfullythriving День назад

      I am glad you haven't seen any problems! That is good to know. And yes, sometimes, I do save my surplus for holiday sales or the like. As for beef, I manage to still get good deals from Meijer that I can't (yet!) seem to justify the extra cost to my budget. But this time, since I am seeing some gaps on my shelves, I just want to restock a bit.

      Paper sacks! Great idea! Canning potatoes is definitely on my list of things to try. Maybe with Thanksgiving potato sales I will have more time then because I really do want to try it. My girls love baked potatoes so we eat a lot of ours that way!

      Blackberry Jam is my favorite! I can it in a water bath canner because my freezer, ahem, is always super full! 😁 But jam is one of the easiest things to can! Here's the recipe I use, if you decide to can it. joyfullythriving.com/how-to-can-blackberry-jam/

    I always do Dollartrees is of course a go to . So however Deodorant has a expiration date I wonder if it’s still works when expired or do we have to walk around smelly in a SHTF scenario🤨🙄😉😁

      Dollar Tree is a great place to stock up toiletry items! From what I know is that deodorants might slightly lose their effectiveness after the expiration date, but they will still work!

    For past date tomato products, I open the can and 3xamine it for any off-coloring of the product plus the interior can condition. If either seems off, I toss. Else, I use. If still in doubt, I boil at a rolling boil for 20 minutes which most often means im making some type of a soup with a tomato base.

    When ive had limited space, ive concentrated on "things that make things"; for me, basically from scratch cooking ingredients.

      Very smart idea! 👏 It is why I always stock flour and sugar because I am definitely a baker!

      @@joyfullythriving Think in terms of cornstarch because it is the base of most of seasoning packets like gravy, taco seasoning, and even spaghetti sauce. It can be used to thicken what is in the pot plus make from scratch puddings (egg custard, other nore like blanc mange, and most of those frozen chiffon pies). If you bake, don't forget quick bread levening agents like baking powder and baking soda. Cornmeal its self doesn't go bad and can even be added as a thickener depending upon how coarsely its ground. If you do any long cooking, barley is a good thing to have on hand and begin to incorporate into your repertoire; in general save it for winter when its cool and you're looking for denser carbs. Oddly enough scan ypur fridge and cupboards to see what sauces you use and have but would likely be unwilling to make; a spare of these is good to have. Worsteshire and soy sauce come to mind where as the assorted teriyaki, sweet n sour, and even BBQ sauces can be achieved from scratch with not too, too much extra effort.

    Well i am firstly blessed to have come across videos such as yours to be honest. I knew nothing about stockpiling before and i am so new to it. The biggest reason I'm starting is as a single mother of 3 we have been without food in the middle of the month and i was living paycheck to paycheck with my kids😢. I tried budgeting but failed to stick to it numerous times. So this year i did a 360 turn and told myself we couldn't go on like this. I need to change my mindset on how i manage my finances. I came across SHTF videos and prepping videos somehow and i got interested, watching videos like yours about stockpiles and others about budgeting and having emergency funds n cash envelopes😊. Never knew about them also. I got excited. I have become so serious about it and it's because i never want my kids to become sad when thinking back about their childhood and how i struggled to provide for them it would break me😢literally. So i strive to feed and clothe my children in every way possible with my income. I have started with toiletries and breakfast cereals and a few cans of beans. That's my stockpile for now😊. I have an extra room that i turned into a walk-in pantry and i can't wait to see it completely full. I also have one fridge with a freezer and currently saving to buy (by the end of the year) a deep chest freezer to have a stockpile of frozen goods now😊 Because of videos like yours❤ we will never go without, ever again. God bless you
