TOILET TIP: If you need a toilet and the water is off, drain your toilet one last flush. Sponge out clean water in the bowl. Lift seat, place a plastic bag in your toilet, wrap over the rim. Close the lid. Sit down on your usual toilet. Remove the bag and dispose of, at your discretion. No need to sit on an emergency bucket if you don't have to.
Questions: Why is it necessary to drain the bowl if you are using a plastic bag anyway? Also if your water is off, the water in the tank is as close to drinkable/usable water as you can get unless you have a super filter system - why would you want to drain that? Just curious...
We live out in the country and since our well pump is electric, we often have situations where we don't have electricity (or water) for hours to days at a time. We keep multiple gallon jugs of tap water (rinsed-out empty milk jugs) in each bathroom and only flush when necessary. We also keep jugs of water handy for filling dog bowls and rinsing things in addition to our stored drinking water. Another thing we have found useful--available online--rechargeable lightbulbs. We have one in each area without windows to make navigation easier.
Your videos is a packed with information. So I could keep up I had to use the old skill of SHORTHAND to keep my notebook accurate. Pool Shock is a great tip. The bucket toilet good for car or RV if on the run who knows what we'll need. Thank you.
@@racheldeen3667 When your water is off, and you use your toilet 1 last time, your tank is empty. There will be a small amount of water in the bowl, which you can't flush out until your water comes back on. IF you place a bag in your toilet, the bag will go down in the possibly contaminated water. When you lift out your bag, you will be dripping the possibly contaminated water onto your floor & carpets.Unless you just cleaned and sanitized your bowl before your last flush, the several inches in your bowl will be contaminated even slightly where you wouldn't want to drink it.
Slightly funny story. A year before Covid I put together a bunch of coupons to took advantage of a sale on hand sanitizer. Came home w/ 24 bottles. Husband laughed at me. He’s not laughing anymore.
We have kept extra toilet paper and paper towels for several years prior to 2019. Christmas of 2019 one son and DIL didn't know what to buy us or her mother for Christmas so they go us a case size of paper towels and toilet paper. Everyone laughed at the family Christmas but guess what we never had to buy during the great toilet paper shortage in 2020.
Learn to grow fresh crops for the enzymes. One can't even blink without enzymes :)~. Beans are an incomplete protein. And it's the gliaden in the gluten in Wheat and other grains that causes fals DNA signaling. Baiscally your cells are replicated a little more warped than they usually would be. Not to mention diabetes and other disease that we do not one during a SHTF situation!
I spent 18 months without any electricity 🔌. I have watched many videos of folks talking about what is needed in a power outage and most of what they say is inaccurate or unrealistic. Yours is the best video on this topic that I have seen bar none! I had to learn most of what you are sharing the hard way, many cold nights , no way to cook food, etc. I learned what was needed along the way and I can say that if people listen to you they will be in a far better position to survive. Having a way to heat water to wash your body and clothes, to cook a hot meal, and to stay warm is everything. Thank you so much for this very informative video.
Coleman camp shower (thick black plastic bag) heats water in the sun for a quick shower. Other options could be giant plastic shake or giant food containers in black set out in the sun to heat. These are what we used to heat water when we were without hot water for a week after SuperStorm Sandy.
I got a potty chair, like the ones elderly people use at nursing homes and I have it in my stock and you can put a bucket under it or use a bucket it came with.
IF you have some time on your hands and concerned about water use and fuel consumption... you can reduce the amount of water used and energy needed to prepare pasta by pre soaking the pasta for about 2 hours , then the noodles are more or less soft and have absorbed some of the water , just heat for about 1/3 of the time you'd normally boil pasta and eat.
I have found that some things at Walmart you can get at Dollar Tree like the gallon bottles of water and some canned foods along with some pet food and storage containers if you are on a very tight budget
I Love Beans And Rice And Some Can Meats And Powder Eggs, Flour, Chili Powder, Salt, Pepper, Meat Tenderizer, Garlic Powder, Powder Butter, Sugar, Cinnamon Powder, And Other Spices.
Doggie training pads they make bodily fluid messes stay contained when illness strikes and are great to slap one down for a clean area for unexpected first aid purposes.❤
Hi, I work for Walmart and I am also a prepper. I think you did an amazing video, and I can vouch for everything that you said. Thank you so much, I will be following you and your channel.
I work at a Walmart. In your video you say Togo on line to order things that the store dose not have that is a great thing to do but keep in mind if you do have it sent to your store to pickup that way you don’t pay for shipping and if you are like most of us that little bit of savings can add up and help out a lot keep an eye out after each holiday when it goes on sale like blankets to keep worm with your fire logs and fire starter charcoal all kinds of stuff to prep think outside the box
@@wickedprepared also for the preppers who are concerned ordering an whole house emp shield, a couple vehicles emp shields and those of us who have implemented medical devices there is some emp shield clothing. Also emp shield bags for small electronics devices. Sorry if I sound par_noid. Imo better safe than sorry. Thank you. Ps I have an implanted medical device so I keep clothing or emp bag near me at all times
Additional suggestion. Cloth diapers which are also good for cleaning or trading. Cloth diaper pins good for quick clothing repair or trading. Extra trash bags. Fire starters for those who can't start fire by hand. A good set of sewing supplies including sewing shears. Extra cloth to repair damaged clothing. For people who have access to milking cows or goats, a candy thermometer to make sure you have gotten it high enough to pasteurize. Waterproofing supplies if there's a leak. Thank you. Lol I've given this a lot of thought. My parents and grandparents were preppers way before it was "a thing". Lol I was raised this way.
Also bring your calculator. I was at Walmart last week and saw this amazing unit price on the canned beef (2.50lb). Instead of the two I had planned to add to my stores I thought maybe I need to get them all at this price. Wait a second. If the 12 oz can is over $4 it is not $2.50 a pound. I broke out the calculator and it was closer to $6 a pound. I did still get my 2 but not the case I was ready to buy at 2.50 a pound.
Definitely an important tool to have! I am constantly opening up the calculator on my phone. I can also use my phone to check the prices at other stores like Sam's Club, Azure, Amazon or our local grocery stores (most of them-i can't check save a lot) so I can compare others stores as well.
🛒 For emergency toilet. We saved 5 gallon paint buckets when we painted the house recently. They cleaned up pretty good. I've stored trash bags inside each and a pail to collect urine. Today well pick up pool noodles added comfort will be nice. Lots of tips today, Thank you.

I learned a lot in your video. I immediately stopped the video when you talked about the coleman butane cooker and have it on order now. I love that I can cook indoors with it😊 I appreciate all the work you put into this video. GOD BLESS❤
I love it! Just got a dozen LARGE eggs for 93 cents! Package of 4 roll toilet . paper for 97 cents. Paper Towels 58 debts each. So many deals & good prices on organic foods.
I tend to be cold all winter. I even carry a sweater to restaurants in the summer. I wear Cuddle Duds all winter. You have lots of great tips!!! I hope people are paying attention!
My closest WM is about 10 miles away so I usually have things shipped to me for free with $35 minimum order. Makes my heavy bulky loads much easier from my front porch and bring inside. I don't have WM+ but if I'm in that area, I'll go buy the lightweight items and make my loading/unloading easier, even at home unloading for the final time. I'm just filling in gaps at this point and looking at emergency heat sources in case of power outage.
First time posting here. Recently found your channel and I LOVE it. Thank you for all your do. This is a wonderful video. I have to hit replay and take notes. I have learned so much by watching you. What a wealth of information. May the Lord bless you and keep you safe ! I live in Alabama. I gave up my dream home to bring my horses home instead of boarding in a show barn. I love having them home with us. We live on a farm now with 18 1/2 acres. I want to start a garden. I just bought some canning items from Walmart and I am watching many videos on RUclips to learn how to can. One of my biggest concerns is storing enough water for the horses and dogs. THANK YOU AGAIN ~
Consider those big rolls of Kimberly Clark toilet paper rolls you see in public bathrooms. You can order direct or from distributors. Bought a dozen rolls a few years ago.
I agree with the oil bit - I priced out olive oil at a warehouse this weekend.........holy cow - Walmart Great Value brand is a lot cheaper and it's good oil!! The fans work awesome - we have them in our trailer when we don't have electric hook up.
Thank you worried of losing heat live in Maine my Ma is a big prepper. I shared this with my son so they could watch everything. I am not able to drive on handicapped I suffer from severe epilepsy. I am learning so much and I thank you.
If you keep canning mason jars put water in all of them and add to rotation. You can also watr bath seal yhe water for longer storage that you can rotate every year or two.
I just have to say Thank you again. I've been more in getting food. Now important stuff like prepare for outages. I had no idea Walmart had All that stuff. I usually just get food. Low income, and retired with health issues. Now ha I get issues. Anyways you are SO helpful for me and sister. She's going blind almost deaf. Taking her for her ears and early dem sp? . Walmart is 30 min one way 1 hr. The other. Will be checking out. Again Thanks, thanks, thanks. God Bless 💗🙏 Thank you Lord for this lady and keep your hand and armour around her and her family in Jesus name Amen. Again Thanks 😊
This was very worthwhile video as yours always are. I go to Walmart often but half the stuff you found in the Sporting section I never thought of. Also the shelves in your store were much fuller than ours. I do go often enough to get some one time and others the next. I have learned so much from this channel. Thanks for sharing!!🛒
Some Walmarts will be low or out for two reasons people shop a lot and buy in large amounts and/or the management do not order bigger quantities to stay on top of things I work at a Walmart and if we need 3 cases to replace we will order 9 cases
Great video! I have almost all of them. Besides the Coleman stove, I also bought a small charcoal grill and over the past year (when it was much cheaper), I stocked up on charcoal. I did realize a few weeks ago that I didn't get lighter fluid! It's on my list! A portable toilet is also something I need to look in to. I do have a urinal (yes, they make them for women), and it always botheted me that in 45 years as a nurse, I never saw one in the hospital for female patients. We ( yes, I have been a patient, too) always had to deal with a bedpan, which migjt not be a bad thing in case someone is incapacitated. OK, enough "potty talk" 😊. You brought up some good points. Thank you for sharing your tips.🛒
There are charcoal chimneys that you put the charcoal in and put a bit of newspaper or other refuse paper underneath and light and remove the need for lighter fluid. These can be bought for $20-$25 maybe a bit less.
With rice the main reason you wash it is because of bugs and you want to get out the however most people don't realize that you're supposed to freeze your rice and pasta for 3 days just for that reason and then you can store it for long-term storage
Jara, I live about 5 minutes from the local Walmart. We have very few choices of shopping for food or preps in my area. I've bought huge amounts of the items you shared, over time. I still buy extra as needed to fill in gaps. My focus now is in pet food. Thanks for another informative video! You are the best!!!
I’m hooked on your channel…. I’ve been a subscriber but I’m binge watching it. YOU, my dear, have very reasonable opinions on HOW to start to prep, WHY we should start to prepare, WHERE we can find various items, WHAT are different shelf stable foods from 1 year-5year-20 to 30 year. PLUS…. Making a Menu Plan with recipes. Not excluding GENIUS meals in a Jar…. I REALLY cannot wait to see more of these.
Aww! Thank you so much for this! I really, truly appreciate it and I'm so happy to have you here! I feel very blessed to be doing this and sharing what I do with so many people ❤️ Thank you for being here, my friend!!
🛒 . Thank you for the list of great prep ideas. I've got quite a few on this list but have a few bare spots to fill. Thanks again for the tips. God Bless
I’ve been watching the clearance, outdoors, sporting goods, seasonal clothing for several years to buy when on extensive sales/clearance. Anything from Turkey calls, reading glasses, knives, warm hunting clothes, spices for grilling, grilling supplies, etc. All items 50-75% off.
I frequent Walmart and I have yet to see the toilet seat. I like that tip. I’m gonna look for it. One day while shopping at Goodwill, I found one of those portable toilets they have in the hospital, for elderly people or fall risks. It was $4.99 that day, and I was getting 25% off. I definitely bought it. I know my husband thinks I’m crazy, but I knew what I was doing, and the deal was too awesome to miss. I’ve seen them several times over the last six months, and now they’re priced for 19.99 it was def a Godsend!! Thanks for all the info. Stay safe.
Great list! Very comprehensive especially for someone who hasn’t been prepping forever! This would provide a great base and can expand as time, space and finances allow!
I ate a lot of15 bean soup growing up. You can put it over rice ,lentils or quinoa. Also, you can separate out of the broth...but don't throw it away. It's a good starter for a Buddha bowl without the broth.
Thank you for the great advice. I would also suggest that everyone research the brands of different products. Some product brands are all GMO. That would definitely be something to consider as well when choosing food products.
🛒I like to pick up fuel stabilizer, throw away table clothes for different holidays, I started using bar soap for shampoo and no more tangles for removing rats and as a leave in conditioner, so happy with the switch. Walmart has great deals and like you keep a eye out for what's discounted.
I live in a very small Georgia town but next to a military post (largest one east of Mississippi. Our little town boasts a super WM, and 2 neighborhood markets. 2 Dollar Trees, 4 Dollar General within 10-15 minutes driving, Family Dollars so buying on a budget isn't hard. I keep a price journal so I know where the best prices are and plan my shopping trip accordingly. To be frugal you really need to know prices AND package sizes.
Thanks ! Great ideas. I have been prepping for years and I agree with you about Walmart being a very good place to find just about anything and everything for prepping ! I am used to living in the country and so I stay prepped . It saves time and money to be prepared. Everything you mentioned here is critical for short term and long term survival. Rotating my stock is a priority and so I mark things with date purchased when I store them. Walmart as well as any other sizable store is at least 30 miles away. One whole room in my house is a prepper room... and not just for food but all my gear including stoves, propane canisters, tents, ... all emergency gear stays handy.
We just bought a little coleman stove like you have and had to visit 4 different WM to get 11 cans of butane. but we now feel prepared . I would just like to add that getting Himalayan, Celtic or Real salt is the better way to go than iodized salt, it is better for you.
Hello, stopping in as a newbie! Just put together a WM order for delivery next week. Good place to find the staples and canned goods/bisquits for my pup's pantry! All the best! Oh... 2 miles away at best, but delivery due to selling car in 2021 to start preparing. Don't say it... I had 5 payments left and it was my pride/joy! I was called and guided to begin. Peace
My closest Walmart is about 10 minutes away but it’s NOT a Super Center so it doesn’t have the cold/frozen groceries. I also have the Walmart + so I get free delivery from the app which I do ALOT (actually have a delivery coming in the next couple hours lol). The prices are still pretty decent although they’ve gone up a bit but that’s happening everywhere.
I have created a personal hygiene bucket - plus my rotating stock in my hall closet. But for shampoo - I get the shampoo bars - less waste, takes up less space and they are really good for the hair. Great video Jara!!
Walmart is 5 minutes from me. I shop all food ads, I lucky enough to be able to shop 5 diff stores. Rulers, and Schnucks ads are running best in sales. Dollar tree I buy spices , rice, some can goods, storage bags, cleaning supplies. Walmart is last to shop for me.
I’m 15 min from Walmart I love it as it’s one of few options in our smaller town they are always stocked and it’s quick and easy - I won’t go on weekends or afternoons though weekday mornings is so much better
You know....i just came across u. Good video! covers 75 -80% of what it took me 3 yrs to learn. I have to say you cover it all without all the stories which can be time consuming. For your packed information, that is spot on, trust me,.. i have subscribed.
Thank you for your help. The oatmeal packets are a great backup for sure, plus they are already packaged and easy to use. The minute rice is my go to because it is so easy. Just a bullion cube or flavoring and you've got a quick meal. These just in case helps are great. Thank you
Be a little careful with long term storage of the Apple versions of instant oatmeal, for some reason I've found some type of bug infestation in sealed packets of that variety, not the others like maple or raisin and spice or plain but the versions with apples even in a variety pack, different brands, same thing some type of bugs.(alive and seemingly happy). But these were past the best buy date.
🛒 I have a Walmart Neighborhood Market 5 blocks away, and a regular Walmart with a grocery section in it. I also have an Albertsons 5 blocks away which is overall my favorite, but since starting to stockpile more food items I’ve been using Walmart more for the better prices.
I buy the Walmart canned beans and 5 cans at a time. Then, I dehydrate them. I do have bags of regular dry beans stored in mylar bags also. But I loved having the instant beans. They are great to just add a handful to my homemade canned soups.
We live in a city so we have two Walmart stores within 10 minutes of each other. But we have lots of other options too. There is a salvage store that carries lots of food items.. Kind of like Marden's would be for you.
Hi Jara! Again, great information....and I STILL say you would have been a GREAT Home-Ec teacher! I can see you bringing a class to Walmart and teaching them just what you showed today! I have two Walmart's pretty close...one is only a mile and a half from me and the one a little further, 11 miles but only 17 minutes to drive and it is bigger and much nicer. I also buy a lot of Nido even tho it is a little more expensive but I think better. Thanks as always....I have missed a few videos lately bc very busy myself making sure everything is in order.....🛒
I personally haven’t tried Nido, but we raised our grandson on Nido Toddler formulation. I can tell you he really liked it. The toddler variety is a great choice for those with little ones. I did read many reviews on the other varieties of Nido, and they are quite positive. The only downside of Nido is the shelf life is not very long (in prepper standards that is).
I love the Nido too. It’s the only dry milk that actually is drinkable! I repackage it into glass mason jars and vacuum seal, keep in a cool dark area of my closet. I have used some that’s several years old. I wouldn’t plan on very long but worth having for at least 5 years.
You probably know, but the vinegar is not the acidity it should be at Walmart. You have to use 5% to make it long term safe. The GV brand is 4, so beware. Also, the bleach. You shouldn't use low splash bleach for disinfecting water. Just the plain bleach with nothing added to it. Like you said, a pinch of pool shock per gallon of water is good. If you want to cross reference anything, I've discovered Rose Red. She's a college professor in organic chemistry....a tad bit on the 'very specific' side for detail, but if you're patient and like to listen to detail, she's your girl.
TOILET TIP: If you need a toilet and the water is off, drain your toilet one last flush. Sponge out clean water in the bowl. Lift seat, place a plastic bag in your toilet, wrap over the rim. Close the lid. Sit down on your usual toilet. Remove the bag and dispose of, at your discretion. No need to sit on an emergency bucket if you don't have to.
Great tip! I like to have the emergency bucket in our basement, where there is no toilet, just in case we're down there for an extended amount of time

We live out in the country and since our well pump is electric, we often have situations where we don't have electricity (or water) for hours to days at a time.
We keep multiple gallon jugs of tap water (rinsed-out empty milk jugs) in each bathroom and only flush when necessary.
We also keep jugs of water handy for filling dog bowls and rinsing things in addition to our stored drinking water.
Another thing we have found useful--available online--rechargeable lightbulbs. We have one in each area without windows to make navigation easier.

About the vinegar: read before you buy. Any vinegar below 4% is no good for food preservation. Companies have been selling 3% to save money.
Just bought over 70 cans of chunky soup for $1 a can

I love having them home with us. We live on a farm now with 18 1/2 acres. I want to start a garden. I just bought some canning items from Walmart and I am watching many videos on RUclips to learn how to can. One of my biggest concerns is storing enough water for the horses and dogs. THANK YOU AGAIN ~
Consider those big rolls of Kimberly Clark toilet paper rolls you see in public bathrooms. You can order direct or from distributors. Bought a dozen rolls a few years ago.
Very informative video 😊 thanks !!
I agree with the oil bit - I priced out olive oil at a warehouse this weekend.........holy cow - Walmart Great Value brand is a lot cheaper and it's good oil!! The fans work awesome - we have them in our trailer when we don't have electric hook up.
Thank you worried of losing heat live in Maine my Ma is a big prepper. I shared this with my son so they could watch everything. I am not able to drive on handicapped I suffer from severe epilepsy. I am learning so much and I thank you.
I kust bought the Mr Buddy and my furnace went out. It did a great job warming up my tiny home in the morning. Thanks for all the other tips.🛒
Matches can opener. Package gravey
Definitely!
🛒 ❤thank you !
Shelf stable milk from dollar tree. A bit expensive but important
Definitely!
$1.25 for the Market Pantry shelf stable milk sold at $ Tree is not expensive. Compared to big box grocery prices, it's a bargain
Great video! 🛒
If you keep canning mason jars put water in all of them and add to rotation. You can also watr bath seal yhe water for longer storage that you can rotate every year or two.
I just have to say Thank you again. I've been more in getting food. Now important stuff like prepare for outages. I had no idea Walmart had All that stuff. I usually just get food. Low income, and retired with health issues. Now ha I get issues. Anyways you are SO helpful for me and sister. She's going blind almost deaf. Taking her for her ears and early dem sp? . Walmart is 30 min one way 1 hr. The other. Will be checking out. Again Thanks, thanks, thanks. God Bless 💗🙏 Thank you Lord for this lady and keep your hand and armour around her and her family in Jesus name Amen. Again Thanks 😊
This was very worthwhile video as yours always are. I go to Walmart often but half the stuff you found in the Sporting section I never thought of. Also the shelves in your store were much fuller than ours. I do go often enough to get some one time and others the next. I have learned so much from this channel. Thanks for sharing!!🛒
Some Walmarts will be low or out for two reasons people shop a lot and buy in large amounts and/or the management do not order bigger quantities to stay on top of things I work at a Walmart and if we need 3 cases to replace we will order 9 cases
Great video! I have almost all of them. Besides the Coleman stove, I also bought a small charcoal grill and over the past year (when it was much cheaper), I stocked up on charcoal. I did realize a few weeks ago that I didn't get lighter fluid! It's on my list!
A portable toilet is also something I need to look in to. I do have a urinal (yes, they make them for women), and it always botheted me that in 45 years as a nurse, I never saw one in the hospital for female patients. We ( yes, I have been a patient, too) always had to deal with a bedpan, which migjt not be a bad thing in case someone is incapacitated.
OK, enough "potty talk" 😊.
You brought up some good points. Thank you for sharing your tips.🛒
There are charcoal chimneys that you put the charcoal in and put a bit of newspaper or other refuse paper underneath and light and remove the need for lighter fluid. These can be bought for $20-$25 maybe a bit less.
@Itlooksbad Thanks! I've heard of those, but thought you needed lighter fluid. I'll check them out!
With rice the main reason you wash it is because of bugs and you want to get out the however most people don't realize that you're supposed to freeze your rice and pasta for 3 days just for that reason and then you can store it for long-term storage
Jara, I live about 5 minutes from the local Walmart. We have very few choices of shopping for food or preps in my area. I've bought huge amounts of the items you shared, over time. I still buy extra as needed to fill in gaps. My focus now is in pet food. Thanks for another informative video! You are the best!!!
Thanks for sharing Millie!
My 1st time watching your video! I can only say, excellent! Thank You!!
Great video. Feminine hygiene products for sure 🛒
Hate it. More now because of self checkout
I kinda get that!
I’m hooked on your channel…. I’ve been a subscriber but I’m binge watching it.
YOU, my dear, have very reasonable opinions on HOW to start to prep, WHY we should start to prepare, WHERE we can find various items, WHAT are different shelf stable foods from 1 year-5year-20 to 30 year.
PLUS…. Making a Menu Plan with recipes.
Not excluding
GENIUS meals in a Jar…. I REALLY cannot wait to see more of these.
Aww! Thank you so much for this! I really, truly appreciate it and I'm so happy to have you here! I feel very blessed to be doing this and sharing what I do with so many people ❤️ Thank you for being here, my friend!!
@@wickedprepared ♥️thank YOU. And very grateful. Thrilled to call you my new friend.♥️bravo and kudos to you!
My Walmart is about 2 miles away, but I am so glad that they do home delivery now it is a blessing for this blind lady🦮🥰
Definitely!
thank you
🛒 . Thank you for the list of great prep ideas. I've got quite a few on this list but have a few bare spots to fill. Thanks again for the tips. God Bless
Awesome! Thank you!
WE LOVE OUR LOCAL WALMART HERE IN LASALLE MONTREAL. BUT SADLY IT IS WOEFULLY UNDERSTAFFED AS THOSE POOR WORKERS BARELY HAVE TIME TO ANSWER QUESTIONS!!
I’ve watched a lot of videos and no one has ever told me about those types of milk!! Thank you!
Super helpful video!
I’ve been watching the clearance, outdoors, sporting goods, seasonal clothing for several years to buy when on extensive sales/clearance. Anything from Turkey calls, reading glasses, knives, warm hunting clothes, spices for grilling, grilling supplies, etc. All items 50-75% off.
Love Lentils and beans are protein 😄
I frequent Walmart and I have yet to see the toilet seat. I like that tip. I’m gonna look for it. One day while shopping at Goodwill, I found one of those portable toilets they have in the hospital, for elderly people or fall risks. It was $4.99 that day, and I was getting 25% off. I definitely bought it. I know my husband thinks I’m crazy, but I knew what I was doing, and the deal was too awesome to miss. I’ve seen them several times over the last six months, and now they’re priced for 19.99 it was def a Godsend!! Thanks for all the info. Stay safe.
If you have a Gorden's in your area they have canned meats in various sizes. Hamburger, sausage ect...
Great list! Very comprehensive especially for someone who hasn’t been prepping forever! This would provide a great base and can expand as time, space and finances allow!
Very true! Thanks for watching!
🛒Some great ideas especially the toilet hack
I ate a lot of15 bean soup growing up. You can put it over rice ,lentils or quinoa. Also, you can separate out of the broth...but don't throw it away. It's a good starter for a Buddha bowl without the broth.
Amazon has Augason cans at good prices as well. Thats where I've started to stock up on these.
Thank you for the great advice. I would also suggest that everyone research the brands of different products. Some product brands are all GMO. That would definitely be something to consider as well when choosing food products.
Thanks!
🛒I like to pick up fuel stabilizer, throw away table clothes for different holidays, I started using bar soap for shampoo and no more tangles for removing rats and as a leave in conditioner, so happy with the switch. Walmart has great deals and like you keep a eye out for what's discounted.
5-gallon buckets don't need a special seat a regular round seat rests on top of the bucket. it does not lock in place but doesn't move around either
Would love to see a video of uses of some of these items please, like how the handwarmers work etc.
I store flour in the freezer. It last a very long time
I live in a very small Georgia town but next to a military post (largest one east of Mississippi. Our little town boasts a super WM, and 2 neighborhood markets. 2 Dollar Trees, 4 Dollar General within 10-15 minutes driving, Family Dollars so buying on a budget isn't hard. I keep a price journal so I know where the best prices are and plan my shopping trip accordingly. To be frugal you really need to know prices AND package sizes.
What used to be 5# bags flour and sugar are now 4# but look like the original 5#.
Thanks ! Great ideas. I have been prepping for years and I agree with you about Walmart being a very good place to find just about anything and everything for prepping ! I am used to living in the country and so I stay prepped . It saves time and money to be prepared. Everything you mentioned here is critical for short term and long term survival. Rotating my stock is a priority and so I mark things with date purchased when I store them. Walmart as well as any other sizable store is at least 30 miles away. One whole room in my house is a prepper room... and not just for food but all my gear including stoves, propane canisters, tents, ... all emergency gear stays handy.
You should write a book about yr knowledge and also about your meal prep! I just found you and I am glad I found you! Ty so much
We have 3 Walmarts within 20 minutes of us, including a Super Walmart. We use Walmart for prepping all the time!!
We just bought a little coleman stove like you have and had to visit 4 different WM to get 11 cans of butane. but we now feel prepared . I would just like to add that getting Himalayan, Celtic or Real salt is the better way to go than iodized salt, it is better for you.
Maine, I knew she was in New England based on wicked lol
🛒 great video for beginners or just as a refresher ❤
Thank you so much!
🛒lots of things I haven't even thought about. Thank you
Happy to help!
We're 40 miles from Walmart. We do pick up orders once a month.
Hello, stopping in as a newbie! Just put together a WM order for delivery next week. Good place to find the staples and canned goods/bisquits for my pup's pantry! All the best! Oh... 2 miles away at best, but delivery due to selling car in 2021 to start preparing. Don't say it... I had 5 payments left and it was my pride/joy! I was called and guided to begin. Peace
My closest Walmart is about 10 minutes away but it’s NOT a Super Center so it doesn’t have the cold/frozen groceries. I also have the Walmart + so I get free delivery from the app which I do ALOT (actually have a delivery coming in the next couple hours lol). The prices are still pretty decent although they’ve gone up a bit but that’s happening everywhere.
Nice! Thank you for sharing and for watching!
I have created a personal hygiene bucket - plus my rotating stock in my hall closet. But for shampoo - I get the shampoo bars - less waste, takes up less space and they are really good for the hair. Great video Jara!!
Where do you buy your shampoo bars? I have only seen them online at Lehman's...
Walmart is 5 minutes from me. I shop all food ads, I lucky enough to be able to shop 5 diff stores. Rulers, and Schnucks ads are running best in sales. Dollar tree I buy spices , rice, some can goods, storage bags, cleaning supplies. Walmart is last to shop for me.
🛒Great tips!
Preper tome acción compren ahí y miren bien la fecha de expedición es importante.
great information, Jara, great video------thank you🛒
I’m 15 min from Walmart I love it as it’s one of few options in our smaller town they are always stocked and it’s quick and easy - I won’t go on weekends or afternoons though weekday mornings is so much better
Thanks for sharing!! I agree with that 💯
You know....i just came across u. Good video! covers 75 -80% of what it took me 3 yrs to learn. I have to say you cover it all without all the stories which can be time consuming. For your packed information, that is spot on, trust me,.. i have subscribed.
Thank you for your help. The oatmeal packets are a great backup for sure, plus they are already packaged and easy to use. The minute rice is my go to because it is so easy. Just a bullion cube or flavoring and you've got a quick meal. These just in case helps are great. Thank you
You are so welcome!
Be a little careful with long term storage of the Apple versions of instant oatmeal, for some reason I've found some type of bug infestation in sealed packets of that variety, not the others like maple or raisin and spice or plain but the versions with apples even in a variety pack, different brands, same thing some type of bugs.(alive and seemingly happy). But these were past the best buy date.
🛒 I have a Walmart Neighborhood Market 5 blocks away, and a regular Walmart with a grocery section in it. I also have an Albertsons 5 blocks away which is overall my favorite, but since starting to stockpile more food items I’ve been using Walmart more for the better prices.
Walmart is good. Close, prices are reasonable and can usually find what I need.😊thank you
Thank you for watching!!
I buy the Walmart canned beans and 5 cans at a time. Then, I dehydrate them. I do have bags of regular dry beans stored in mylar bags also. But I loved having the instant beans. They are great to just add a handful to my homemade canned soups.
We live in a city so we have two Walmart stores within 10 minutes of each other. But we have lots of other options too. There is a salvage store that carries lots of food items.. Kind of like Marden's would be for you.
Groceries And Sporting Goods Section Is My Favorite Prepping Stockpile.
Hi Jara! Again, great information....and I STILL say you would have been a GREAT Home-Ec teacher! I can see you bringing a class to Walmart and teaching them just what you showed today! I have two Walmart's pretty close...one is only a mile and a half from me and the one a little further, 11 miles but only 17 minutes to drive and it is bigger and much nicer. I also buy a lot of Nido even tho it is a little more expensive but I think better. Thanks as always....I have missed a few videos lately bc very busy myself making sure everything is in order.....🛒
🛒 Thanks, Jara! I must peruse my Walmart more thoroughly. 😊
I personally haven’t tried Nido, but we raised our grandson on Nido Toddler formulation. I can tell you he really liked it. The toddler variety is a great choice for those with little ones. I did read many reviews on the other varieties of Nido, and they are quite positive. The only downside of Nido is the shelf life is not very long (in prepper standards that is).
Thanks for sharing!!
I love the Nido too. It’s the only dry milk that actually is drinkable! I repackage it into glass mason jars and vacuum seal, keep in a cool dark area of my closet. I have used some that’s several years old. I wouldn’t plan on very long but worth having for at least 5 years.
Hi. We use Nido for our adult milk needs. It lasts much longer than the “ best buy” date and it froths great for a home prepared latte. 🙂
NIDO Whole Milk makes Great yogurt in your InstantPot!
You probably know, but the vinegar is not the acidity it should be at Walmart. You have to use 5% to make it long term safe. The GV brand is 4, so beware.
Also, the bleach. You shouldn't use low splash bleach for disinfecting water. Just the plain bleach with nothing added to it.
Like you said, a pinch of pool shock per gallon of water is good.
If you want to cross reference anything, I've discovered Rose Red. She's a college professor in organic chemistry....a tad bit on the 'very specific' side for detail, but if you're patient and like to listen to detail, she's your girl.
