Being prepared for an uncertain future just makes sense. Having a well-stocked pantry is the best insurance money can buy. Stored properly, food can last up to 30 years. What Makes You A Prepper?
What foods are more expensive?
What foods and supplies are in short supply?
Shortages on glass and cans are affecting food supply.
What can you add to your stockpile to have the food you need?
Keep stockpiling your prepper pantry emergency food supply a little at a time. One prepping strategy - if you can't find the foods you want, buy the foods you can find. If you see something new and think you might like it, buy one and try it. Every food item you add to your stockpile today means a meal for yourself and your family in the future.
Emergency food is great to have on hand for an uncertain future. Start with open and eat, canned and packaged foods to have food on hand for SHTF. Stock up on the longest lasting forever foods like beans, rice, pasta, one package at a time. Store foods airtight in a cool, dark, dry place. Prices are rising food varieties are becoming limited. Preppers are ready for food shortages after watching RUclips channels like Full Spectrum Survival, Goshen Prepping, Alaska Prepper, Canadian Prepper, Epic Economist, Pinball Prepper, Southern Prepper 1. Preppers are trying to be ready for grocery inflation. Buy foods you care to eat.

With the news looking grim it’s inspiring me to hunker down and to prep. There are more uncertainties now. Stay safe everyone! 💗
Yes! I just put in an order on Amazon. Free shipping may soon be a thing of the past. I did add 2 cans of the Nido as part of my order. That's good stuff!
Better late than never. Food prices are about to soar again.
A lot of the news are psy-ops to sage the crap out of people. 🥲
The news is nothing but Lies. No one I know is starving. They can afford to pay their bills. Food prices are going up again but the world is not coming to an end. And no I am not some super wealthy millionaire yet -:)
I'm taking my empty 23.7 Ice Mountain water bottles, rinsing and drying in sun light, soak the tops in hot, soapy water, rinsing, drying in the sun. I'm going to refill them with purified water. Get a few good boxes you can stack. If water goes out for days, I plan to allow 4 bottles to shower with every 3 days. To get warm water, if its summer, put a pale or gallon bottles of water in the back seat of car or SUV. It's like an oven and will heat water for dishes for showering.
Thanks never thought of putting on car to heat.
@@JustCookIt813 Some people put fruits on screens in their cars to dry it.
Put the water in boxes or cover them with something. Sunlight shining through bottles of water can "Magnify" the heat and catch your car seats, etc on fire. I would not take the chance.
Good reminders. I am restocking the teas I used over the winter. I have stocked canned chicken and ham for soups and casseroles but also have pork, beef, tuna and salmon for the nutrients and variety. I use corned beef hash to make stuffed cabbage, roast beef or sausage hash to make stuffed peppers. If worse comes to worse just a bowl of cooked pasta and pasta sauce will fill your belly and provide nutrition.
I am so glad that I have added and added to my supplies (of all kinds) slowly over the last few years. I never could be with out extra, and now, who knows how much I may need? I never leave a grocery store or Dollar Tree without on kind of protein, even if it is only a can of herring or tuna, a bag of beans,or quinoa, a can of soup, whatever, and an extra can of vegs, or fruit, let alone the big stock-ups on all things.
I just picked up a couple vanilla cake mixes and Mother's canned cherry pie filling at Dollar Tree for a coffee cake recipe I'll make for a sweet treat. I like this recipe I found on You Tube (great rating) because it doesn't require butter, but it does ask for 3 eggs. It calls for sour cream but you can substitute with Greek Yogurt. It makes a large 12 x 17 pan. If there's not a lot of cherries in the pie filling I'll mix in some of my canned blueberries. Over the past couple years I've stocked up on vanilla and almond extract. So happy I did. Most of us like an occasional treat that's easy to make, will go a long way and is inexpensive.
Remember they stock hormel completes and have a few meal selections…..
One tip - watch the foods from any store but particularly Dollar Tree. Look at the label, many of the name brands they sell say made with bioengineered ingredients even name bradn cake mixes and others. If you want to avoid the GMO foods, important to keep a watch on what you are buying. Some of their products are grown or handled overseas as well and right now the government doesn't seem to be checking incoming foods from overseas to know if they were safely grown or processed.
I used to believe fruits and vegetables were essential but the last year has shown me how wrong I was. I have been doing a carnivore diet for that year, which is animal products only. Not only have I lost a hundred lbs, I am the healthiest I have been in decades and I am seventy three. My diabetes, kidney disease, and cardiac issues have gone into remission. I store only meat, seafood, eggs, and animal fats now.
I'm happy for you! I'm not carnivore, but years ago, I went low carb and cut out hydrogenated fats. I reversed insulin resistance and lost 25 lbs. At 67, I'm generally healthy! Keep up the good work!
@@valerier4308 Yeah, the seed oils are really bad too. If you are a woman, there is an estrogen like substance in soybean oil that increases the risk of female cancer. Also there is a substance that blocks the absorption of calcium into the bones, increasing the risk of osteoporosis.
@@jamesnelson1968Yes. I forgot to mention seed oils. I only use olive oil and coconut oil, and of course, real butter.
BRAVO!! CONGRATULATIONS
@@ultramagapatriot5874 In these times we have to attend to our own health as the current medical system contains more harm than help.
Ground beef and pinto beans have been on my Gotta Can These list for months now. Time to get off my tush and break out the ol’ Presto pressure canner! I encourage everyone who has been hesitating to start pressure canning to take the plunge! It’s actually easier than water bath canning!
I agree! Over the weekend I pressure canned 7 pints of white beans, 5 pints of chicken breasts, 5 half pints of sausage patties, and 6 pints of pork butt. I still have 2 pineapples 🍍 to waterbath can.
@@danniemcdonald7675 I bought a steam juicer last year. Now I juice most of my fruit before putting it up. I love the results!
Had some chicken I pressured can in Sept 21. Boiled it, made 4 enchiladas and had some left over for pup. Still yummy
I have started canning my beans. They won’t go bad and I won’t need to worry about water to boil them. I’ve been making as much bone broths as possible too. I’ve invested in plenty of jars in case I lose electricity. I’ll can up everything in my freezers. Lots of propane stocked for that as well. My goal is for 7 years of tribulations. ❤🙌🏻🙏🏼
Great advice about the beans. And be sure to keep the liquid in your jar, it probably has far more nutrients and less salt or sugar than the commercially canned products. The way things go we never know if or when the power can be turned off so good to have food that is ready to eat in your jars.
Happy to see you talking more about canned meat/fish. We see vegetables and cereals most of the time, not many animal products that are shelf stable for a long time. I am trying to move near the Belgian border and I will see what they have available over there. If all goes well I'll have a more permanent place with enough space to finally set up a proper pantry. Maybe even a basement, if I can afford to dig a little basement/cellar.
Best of luck with your move.
I ordered a manual grinder and some wheat berries
I'm going to add more tinned fish ..I realised I not have enough protein thank you Alaska granny
Good reminder, AG. I need more canned beef for iron. I've had to slow down due to a reduction in income, but I'm still adding as much as I can.
Amazon now has the two pack of 12.5 ounce cans of Swanson chicken breasts for $3.99. This is about one dollar cheaper than Wallys You may want to stock up on canned chicken
It's always good to cost compare like you did. Also important to take into consideration if you have to pay shipping or not and also your time and gas to drive to certain stores. With the conflicts in the middle east, we may soon be seeing gas going up too.
I have been canning chicken. It is great tasting and super easy to do.
Last week I added some ancient grains and pseudo grains and am researching how to use them. They are more expensive but have so much good nutrition plus some, such as amaranth, teff and quinoa are complete proteins and many are gluten free. I can't store as much quantity of them as rice and beans because they are more expensive, but I think it will be good to have some for variety and the nutrients. I am not vegan but have been watching videos put out by vegans for things like flat bread made just from red lentils and water or another from sweet potatoes and flour. I want to learn how to make the Ethiopian flat bread injera made from teff. It is good to learn new skills.
You can grow amaranth in a small garden plot because it's tall and often ornamental...
Thank you for sharing AG, I loved your comment about encourage yourself.. we tend to beat ourselves up rather than be kind and encouraging to ourselves..
Heads up fill your gas tanks and di a prep run today.. Monday will be interesting. 👍🍀💕🌴🤠
Very good video, AG!! Happy Sunday!!
After the attack on Israel I am really concerned about their response. I know people from Israel and they have no patience with those who attack them. I truly hope that they don't use nuclear weapons but I do know that it is probable. If that happens then all bets are off. May God watch over us.
I keep a full pantry and freezer, plus I've stocked up on dehydrated and freeze dried foods from Auguson Farms and Mountain House. Amazon accepts EBT for those items. ⛰️ Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸
I was using EBT to buy them foods from Amazon also but when I moved from Michigan back to Indiana I no longer qualify for EBT… I guess that’s because disability pays so great ……. Not
@normakraus9411 I've heard that before from someone else who moved interstate. I think it has to do with how each state calculates their cost of living. It doesn't seem right though that SNAP can just cut you off EBT like that, especially since there's been no change to your income.
You should know augusonfarms foods have BIOENGINEERED ingredients in them!! I have alot of their foods and was very upset & disappointed to find out that they are BIOENGINEERED!! You can do a search on it if you don't believe me! I googled it and found out about it!!
@@normakraus9411 If you were a illegal crossing our border, you would get everything. No questions asked!
Sounds great!
Just keep going n live your life
And prep
Been a prepper for decades, (must be getting old) and have bought,stored,freeze dried packaged foods, but actually ate them, most brands most selection’s my personal preference for taste and nutrition are as follows in best to worst……1st is peak foods (by far taste better than anything out there, 2nd would be a close is mountain house, the rest are way down the list for taste and quality, this is my take but you can look on you tube at the comparison between brands and most fit in my category. When you are hungry almost anything is acceptable, but if satisfying you own taste buds is number one then stock up on the ones you prefer. AG keep up the great ideas.
LDS now has strawberries
Thank you! I just ordered some.
Rotating your preps needs to be a job1, it saves money, by reducing the chances of spoilage and over buying,it has taken myself years to formulate a safe system and one that is easy to use. Let me use as an example a mainstay for my 1year best by date items….that being hormel completes, they have a nice selection, easy to store (no refrigeration needed) and have a most a year and half out best by date……I like to buy them at the rate of five to six cases (6 or 7 in a case) per month… I eat them daily and the variety is currently about 12 choices used to be more but like most manufacturers hormel has cut back on selection. I buy at various grocery stores or on Amazon, Amazon seems to supply the best selections which normally have at least a one year Best Buy date. The benefit of the completes meals is that they take up little space even in cases I like to rotate using a 500 meal minimum that fits in a space 4’ by 4’ by 6’…I have my canned goods, bulk items, flour sugar etc and freezedried to round out selections. But completes are my 1st consideration ease of use, storage friendly, good food selection and nutrition make it a standout. Hope this information helps people out there to give them some insights. Blessings
Alessi makes a mix in a pouch with Farro (I didn't know what that was. It's wheat berries.) and they mixed it with beets and spinach. Just add it to boiling water (butter optional, and I added olive oil) and simmer for 20 minutes. Yummy! If you mix Swiss Miss peppermint hot cocoa mix with Gold Medal instant espresso you get (almost) a Caribou Coffee Mint Condition Mocha, add some marshmallows instead of the whipped cream and you're set! I'm almost done with some canned foods that I forgot about and are only a month expired. Everything is fine so far. Our power went out this past weekend and I worried about some cinnamon buns that were frozen. It came back on in two hours, but I took half the buns out, let them thaw, rise and baked them. I put the rest of the buns back in the freezer, but in a greased pan ready to take out and thaw, let rise and bake later if it happens again. I'm slowly eating my frozen foods too because I don't want freezer burn or waste with possible power outages. When in doubt, make ice cubes and when done put them in a covered bucket in the freezer. If the power goes out you will have ice water. If you have empty freezer containers, fill them with water to freeze for larger blocks of ice. This will prolong your "ice box" storage in an emergency...and you'll have more water...
If you are like me and buy things reduced for quick sale, often they are near the expiration date. I have tweaked that habit to be for things I would like to try but don't know if I would like and those things which are shelf stable ready to eat. The Farro was one item. It makes too much for one person, so I have leftovers and freeze it in portions. All you have to do is thaw it to eat it. The ready to eat pouches usually freeze well too if they are near their expiration date. I also have taken to buying the chicken and veggie broth in boxes which also freeze well...more liquid for soups and stews if there is no water and more savings for buying it on sale. No can opener needed.
Great ideas and suggestions, thanks.
so smart reuse liquid jugs and fill them with water 😊
I do that for toilet water just in case as I pay for bottled water as I don't trust the water where I live yet pay a monthly bill where I rent and refill the jugs just in case..
When we empty a large detergent container, I do a quick rinse and then fill and keep on hand for flushing the toilets or cleaning if the water or power is out.
I have been buying freeze dried food. I got thrive life and LDS church. And only 3.00 delivery fee❤
I took almost a year off from buying freeze dried and dehydrated foods for financial reasons but hopefully I can get back to it soon
We can’t afford freeze dried food
@sandyshephard4571 With a minor investment (under $100) you could purchase a dehydrator and dehydrate many food items at home. Dehydrated foods have almost the same shelf life as freeze dried.
I love LDS❤❤❤❤
Yes, I love the LDS Home Storage Center. The prices are so good for a case of 6 gallon size cans. The work is already done for you, and they are pest and rodent proof. Most will last 20 to 30 years. I live near one, there are 100 of them in the US. That $3 delivery fee is amazing.
Life gets busy. It is so easy to over look old cans of food we need to use. Especially if you have a small pantry and have to pull from various locations around the house. I often come home with a load of groceries and try to group them with like items, but don't always get around to keeping them rotated so I can use the oldest ones first.
So twice a year I will write dates on foods and move the old ones to the front or main pantry. Then if I find some old ones I really really need to use. Then I'll plan meals to get them used up soon. It also helps me realize that maybe I should buy less of something or more of something else that I use more of.
I completely understand, thanks for sharing tips that work for you.
It's nice to see additional flair to your wardrobe... very attractive 👍
Agree!
Thinking out loud wondering if this could work.
I just watched a video using 1 can pumpkin ( not pie filling) and 1 box spice cake mix and bake. You can add 1 egg for a fluffier cake. Egg is optional . So can pumkin, cake mix put in jar and powder egg maybe this would work in pantry? Powder sugar sprinkled on top. If no power could pour into Dollar Tree small aluminum loaf pans cook on covered grill fire pit.
We love the pineapple and angle food cake thats why this sounded good for prepping.
Pumpkin is one of the first can food I started stocking away. I always have had on hand because it's so versitile, and can substitute for other items. You can make a flat bread with it, and it adds nutrition. I didn't know about adding it to cake mix, wow!
Thank you. I will research more pumpkin recipes. Your pumpkin in flatbread is really interesting.
@@dawn1913 pumpkin soup is delicious, filling and nutritious. Look for recipes online. Pumpkin, chicken or vegetable broth, olive oil, Bell's seasoning. Can make it creamy by adding milk.
@@patches1483 Nutmeg on top along with parmesan cheese and roasted almonds or just crumbled amaretti cookies. 1 can plain unseasoned pumpkin puree, 1 can chix broth, mix and heat, dilute to desired consistency and taste. Put parmesan in the bottom of the bowl add soup on top, then top again with the parmesan and nuts or cookies. Prepper version inspired by the Public TV show "The de Medici Kitchen" with Lorenza de Medici.
I have some Emergency Essentials cans, got their salt at a grea tdeal a few years ago. I have a variety of foods from different companies. I also love variewty in my long term food storage. I get some of my food from a local halal food store, they also sell Nido
I have been very pleased with the cans of food from Emergency Essentials. They also have 100 hour emergency candles and I love those! Great video, thanks AG! Stay safe!
Thanks for sharing!
I realize price is an issue - but I am learning - if you "see it - grab it". I will not be there when you do come back in so many cases, or you have a long wait for re-stock. Given the fluid nature of things right now - critical decisions often have to be made in the moment. Sad but true locally for me.
Yes try our best to be ready for anything!🙏💖
Thank you, for the great reminders.
Tomorrow, I will do more shopping.
Thanks again.
🙏🌟❤️☘️💫🌿✨👍🌷
You are so welcome!
Good video, thanks for sharing YAH bless !
People need to order some green coffee beans!! They store forever and you just roast them as needed!! I have several pounds stored
Most importantly, keep piling that loo roll high and dry.
Excellent advice, as always AG. 👍
TFS AG, take care & keep really busy everyone. ❤🙂🐶
Great reminders!
Another important reminder: 😊
Romans 10:8-13
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Amen
I recently added quinoa however they are a mid range item. The shelflife is 3 years or so. I also am using powdered milk in recipes because we just dont use milk up before it goes sour. We have gravity waterer for the dogs so they have built in storage there. In an emergency the pool is gonna flush toilets and wash pots pans dishes. Not in the pool of course bucket of water from the pool for those uses.
Great advice. A little at a time works.
More things on the news and not good. Thanks for info on protein and water too. I need to get more as i can afford it. Blessings to you AG. 😊
You are so welcome.
I moved and didn’t realize how much stuff I had. I went to Costco and really didn’t need cans etc… I did buy fresh stuff and some meat.
Happy Sunday 🌷
I don't like sardines or salmon, but I love most other seafoods. Another item most people don't think about is clothing including shoes, boots and underwear. Before I retired a few years ago, I bought some pants in the next size larger than I have worn for years. About a year ago, my pants I have been wearing for years no longer fit, so I had to dig my larger pants out of totes I had stored them in. My shirt size did not change. I have worn the next size larger shirts for years because I did not like tight fitting shirts. Buy "Sturdy" clothes, extra pairs of sturdy shoes and boots. Also stock up socks and underwear. When SHTF you won't be able to buy them anymore. I feel sorry for folks that have children that grow out of their clothes often. Keep Prepping my friends.
Could the nido be bagged dry and put in the freezer?
Absolutely or you can seal it in a mylar bag
AG, When you repackage the Nido into vacuum sealed glass jars, how long will it last? If anyone has tips on using dehydrated foods, I'd love to see ideas. I don't know how to rehydrate them or cook with them and would love to learn a new thing.
If your buying commercially dehydrated foods they give instructions on the can on how to reconstitute. You can use them just as you would use canned vegetables.
So far, I've used Nido 5 months past date. I keep extending use and continuing to try it. It's whole milk powder, so the fat in it I know won't last as long, but still a really good shelf life.
Some very good ideas. thanks
You are so welcome!
I so want to eat Alaska Granny!❤❤❤
Another great video AG❤
Thank you! 😁
What do you do when baking soda or baking powder is not available? And how long is the shelf life for them?
If you Google baking powder substitutes they have several. I'm presently using baking powder that is a year from the bb date on container . And my biscuits are rising fine. Hope this he
Cream of Tartar
Would vacuum canning Nido in several pint jars extend its shelf life? I have done so with nonfat powdered milk, thinking it will store long term. But I am not familiar with Nido product. It sounds like it is more palatable than what I have! Thank you, AG
Vacuum sealing won't actually extend the shelf life, but you should get the same shelf life as the original container. I'm currently using Nido dry milk that's a year past it's best by date and it's fine.
Good question. I have 4 Nido that BBD is 2023. It is whole milk, so not sure if will extend life as it is in aluminum container.
❤
Yes now that dollar tree is not a true dollar tree anymore. It was ok going to a $1.25 because every thing in the store was $1.25
But now its turning into just a bargain store like the 99c store did a few years back and many of them are going to be closing down. 😨
Prices have not slowed down from going up and up every time you go to the store!
I still go to dollar tree and dollar general for their $1 items because thats the cheapest i can find. But i have to slow down my spending now. Cause it really adds up. And no relief in sight!
I agree. Also dollar general has the $5 off $25 coupon for Saturdays so those dollar items discount to 80¢!
Our dollar trees kept getting worse for being stocked with essentials food items. They do stock a full aisle of soda, chips, cookies and so forth but even the dried beans are much fewer and things like bottled water or boxed milk is hit and miss. We never buy the canned vegetables at DT anymore, we found that they are often on sale at our Kroger and a lot cheaper. The DT stores by us have almost no garden seeds now, so anyone who waited to get any will probably not have much to pick from or will have to buy the higher priced seed at places like Home Depot. We all just need to keep watching and doing smart shopping as we can!
👏👍
The Nido looks expensive on the shelf, but it reconstitutes to about 13 gallons. At $4/gal for liquid milk, a $20-25 container of Nido turns into a bargain.
I don't think it's 100% dairy milk, contains soy milk I believe.
Ello
How long do grains last?
Whole grains such as wheat were found in King Tuts tomb, and were fine. Ground wheat goes rancid in a couple of years or so.
White rice lasts for 20-30 years.
Brown rice has oils in it so does not last as long, so maybe 5 years.
Oats last 20-30 years. The flavored packets do not last nearly as long.
Once the can of freeze dried food is open, how soon do you need use it?
One year
If you open a can of freeze dried food you can portion it in smaller containers such as canning jars with a lid and it will last for years.
Once opened, use freeze dried food within a year.

I cringe every time i see one of those fruit and vegetable pill pushing commercials. They are programming us to accept pills instead of the fresh.
Very true! Not only that, but they are very clever and don't tell you that they actually use mostly non organic fruits and vegetables, so you could be getting produce that has concentrated pesticides! Out of curisoity when they first started running those ads, my husband called and asked if the produce was clean and organic, the answer was no but it was 'high quality'. He asked if they add dried soybean meal to their mixes and they said yes. Heard that they hire actors or pay people to give their testimonies. They can't say it made them healthier or reversed a condition, listen carefully to how they said it, just say they like it and they think they feel better. And they are careful not to say it they needed it because they didn't eat right or had a disease or condition because of nutritional deficiencies, they always say they take it as an easy way out of eating fresh produce.
@@joycedagostino8869 Why am I not surprised! TY for additional info.
