@@bettyc.parker-young1437 Thank You So Much! Me too!! (I Find out what time Today) There is Never a bad time, to Have a Good Pantry! So Glad You Have Plenty! Good Luck to Your Daughter, on her Job Search!
Thanks for the list. This list is a good example of how much you can prepare using basic cooking and baking items and make them from scratch. Also a good idea is to make sure you have printed cookbooks or other instructions on hand. If the power goes out or if the internet isn't accessible, having actual books, manuals and printouts will be important.
We stock up tea, coffee, sugar, honey, oats,dried butter & much more plus your list. So grateful we've been stocking up for 3 years. We also dehydrate garlic, mint, fruits, etc. I just ordered more vacuum seal bags, gallon size this time.
I started buying kitty litter in the big buckets. When they are empty I wash them and use them for storage. Not the best but better than nothing. On another note, I have had the strangest feeling all day that something big is getting ready to go down. Is anyone else feeling this? Stay safe. Stay strong.
YES!!! I feel the same way. It's a sense of gotta keep.prepping as much as we can, something is about to happen. I did that when we had a cat. She was 18 when she passed. We still have the buckets. Makes great wash buckets to wash the car and small hand washables. I store boxes of fabric softner sheets in them, dry laundry sheets (i no longer by bottles or powder). I have bars of soap in a bucket (i make my own soaps), so nothing gets to them. Plastic baggie boxes are stored in them. I also make my own firestarters with dryer lint and drippings of candle wax in an empty toilet paper tube and store them in the buckets. We have made nesting boxes out of them as well, for the chickens. Since we have chickens, I have been buying their grubs in 11lb buckets and saving them. We store the foods that are in mylar bags, in them for long term. It has been working great. Both are a great way to store stuff.
i use those litter buckets for items like spam tuna chicken that’s dated for 24-27 yr this way if need be out of sight out of mine for the future and a good bug out bucket
I recently went through drawers and closets, similar to what i did before retirement knowing i would be living on less. Gathered all the items that can not be repaired like socks, underwear, t-shirts, dress and flannel shirts removing the buttons first. Keeping 1 or 2 pairs of old shoes to work in the yard. Searching stores for sweat clothes on clearance for fall, throws, etc. Making repairs from last winter storm damage, getting the cars set up for summer weather. Etc. Getting rid of the clutter to make room for preps.
I think storing Cream of Tartar would be good to store because you can make baking powder by combining 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 2 tablespoons of cream of tartar. Whisk together and store in an airtight container.
Thanks for that great tip. I have a 10 lb bag of cream of tartar that I use to make bubble bars. Now I won't worry about having expired baking powder. I have always bought the smallest container because of the short shelf life. I bake the most during winter, and helps warm the house up. Hate a hot house in the summer months.
I've started buying extra gamma lids. Looks like I need to buy more food grade silica packets. Last year I put up 2 dozen pints of ghee 💪 Thanks Jinne for the info. Remember ya'll to Pray, Plan, Prep
Lol I did the same thing went to dollar tree and bought salt bag after salt bag pink salt they had the best deal I have 30 or 40 lbs of assorted salts maybe more lol ❤😅😊
Hello again Jinne. An old timer told me years ago..... if your baking powder is old, just stick a fork in the can of baking powder and wisk it with the fork until all powder has been fluffed. I have always used that method and have always used long outdated baking powder and have never thrown it out. I also don't bake a lot, so my baking powder is always outdated. Biscuits, and holiday baking still comes out very good. ❤
I had Total Shoulder Reversal replacement in April. . My prepper pantry came in handy as I could not drive for 6 weeks. I prepacked meals for freezer and had plenty in my pantry to eat . I still need assistance with opening jars/cans. I know I can survive for a couple of months without leaving home if SHTF....
You can test baking soda and powder to see if its still good. Take a little soda add a little vinegar, if it fizzes its still good. For baking power takealittle and ad a little water if it fizzes it still good
A tip I need to share..I thought I was being diligent by putting my unopened boxes of jiffy cornbread mix in gallon ziploc bags and various crackers in the plastic shoeboxes with the snap down lids. I had to throw away everything in baggies and plastic boxes. Those little pantry moths got inside all of them. They tried to get into the screw type lids, but couldn’t get past the first layer of threads. I was working on a budget. I was focusing on not attracting mice. But now I realize these items were not airtight.
THANK GOD 2 YEARS AGO I BROKE. MY LEG OFF. WORK 5 1/2 MONTHS WITH SURGERY ,BEFORE I BROKE IT I STARTED PREPPING BACK I DIDNT KNOW WHY BUT SOON FOUND OUT STILL GOT SOME THINGS BACK TODAY ,ALABAMA. WATCHING AND LISTENING AMEN !!!!
Hey Jinne! I use baking powder after the expiration date and just add a little extra to retain it's rising capability. Thank you for your insight for this video. I have learned so much listening to you. Tomorrow I'm going to town because finally after 8 weeks, yes 8, there's a sale on meat. It's boneless skinless chicken breast and thighs. I have some pork to can as well. I can it in pint jars so it doesn't go to waste. There's 2 people in my house. It's good sense about putting food in mylar bags, or plastic bags to protect your food from vermin. After all if I have spent money for food, or sweated for it in the garden then in the pantry using food grade buckets for that extra barrier.
I just did the boneless skinless chicken breast canning. 1 pound per pint. The grocery store had a great price on it. Bought 30lbs....and canned them all.
I have too! An old timer told me years ago..... if your baking powder is old, just stick a fork in the can of baking powder and wisk it with the fork until all powder has been fluffed.

@@livenletlive7537 hi! That is excellent! 30 pounds! Holy guacamole! I'll bet you were tired. Have you ever heard of the saying "a pints a pound the world around"? I truly admire your stamina. That must be a comfort to you. I know that I get a feeling of accomplishment when I get done canning. I think that the most fun I've had canning is beets because they are easy to can, and look so lovely in the jars. I have every kind of meat canned that's under cellophane at the grocery store. And a few more. Like meatloaf. Sausage links is also something that looks nice in jars too plus it's an open and eat food. I've been canning year round the last few years. Tomorrow I hope to get a few more cases of jars for soups and garden vegetables. Then I'll be working in the garden planting. I'm in Southern Wisconsin. Where are you, if you don't mind my asking.
@@arkansaslady1872 hey, Arkansas Lady? It's good to have company in these things. I have plenty of baking powder stored and I am determined to not waste any of it. Thanks for making me feel better.
I think you are the only person in 2023 that uses wheat and regular flour and you dont seem to have issues. Most today dont so gluten or wheat. Love the channel
Hi, Deborah Townley. Should plastic lids be used for salt filled Mason jars only or should plastic lids be used for ALL Mason jars? Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your video. A one gallon glass jar hold ten lbs of Baking Soda, ... don't ask me how I know. We can only buy the little 1lb box here BUT! I found a fifty pound bag at the wholesalers for $54.52 and it's on my next "to get" list. Baking powder is a pre-mixed concoction that does weaken over time. Mix 1/2 tsp cream of Tartar, 1/4 baking soda for a strong baking powder that equals one tsp. Yeast makes beer and wine too! And alcohol makes vinegar if you know how to distill it. Gotta love flour, ...and wheat berries. I have to phone the Grain Elevator again to see if the price of whole wheat has changed. Last time I called it was $355 a ton. That's a whack of wheat. Last year it was $400 a ton, ... go figure. I just scored 55lb of course sea salt from the Dead Sea of all places. Expensive at $40 BUT! Just found some different course salt for $13.85 for 44lb, .... that's on the "to get" list too and I can't go wrong. The cheapest sugar here is 44lb for $35. I have a couple of hundred lb now but I'm not stopping. AND! There' 25kg buckets of Molasses at the wholesalers for $99.00. About 5lb to the gallon. They are killing us with the price of Rice at the big box store. 8kg, (17.6lb) of Jasmine Rice is $26. Thank god for the wholesalers because I can buy 44lb of Long Grain White Rice for $43.00. I now have a goal of 200lb to get. Green Lentils are on the missing list here in the stores so when I found a 10kg (22lb) bag for $34.00 I bought it and it's Grade A Green Lentils too. 10kg of Navy Beans are the same price as the Lentils but what the heck, get them while the getting is good. I'm really praying I can keep my flock of chickens going. And having said that, I have just started dehydrating eggs and storing them in glass with oxygen absorbers. Been doing a focused prep on Powdered Skim Milk and it's funny too because the wholesalers wants $155 for 10kg but the big box store only wants $120. I pack that away in one gallon Mylar bags. And last, I found 15kg buckets of Coconut Oil at the wholesalers for $116.72, ... and I'm getting at least one of those too. My big job today was shucking a crate of Bar Clams and they will get pressure canned tomorrow. Looks like I got a great yield too. At least a case and a half of pints, and maybe more. Keep up the great work and good luck.
I bought dozens of clearance strips of yeast a year ago and stored in freezer. They expired in Oct 2022 but work fine due to freezing. I make (2) 1.5lb loaves weekly in my bread machine. I also have newer large bag of yeast in freezer. Great tips as always!
Such a great list! There are a million recipes that can be made just from the items on this list. Also a great place to start for anyone that is new to preparedness.❤🇺🇸
As for the baking soda, I’d get 2 different types of containers because you don’t want accidentally poison any baked goods using the baking soda used for cleaning. 2 different containers and it’s easy peasy to pick up the right one.
For the really heavy food items such as granulated sugar and culinary salt, I use two-gallon size food buckets for long-term storage. These smaller buckets filled with heavy food are much easier to lift than filled five-gallon buckets and less likely to cause back strain. I keep raw honey, coconut oil and olive oil in the original plastic or glass containers but would put these inside either two-gallon buckets or small size cardboard boxes if I needed to relocate my food storage in a hurry. The last thing I want is to be side lined by a sudden flair up of back pain if I need to load my truck with food storage and do an emergency evacuation.
Thanks Jinnie. It's a good idea for people to start practicing cooking and baking from scratch. Agree with getting baking powder in smaller quantities. Most of what you showed are the basic building blocks especially for baking all sorts of items like breads, cakes, biscuits and more. Prepared foods may be convienient but more and more containing very unhealthy ingredients and you can also adjust your ingredients for recipes to not use as much sugar or salt and it will still be great. Eating healthy is always important but will be even more so in emergency situations.
I enjoy your videos. They are so informative. I am a novice at homesteading. Second year to garden. 3rd year to prep. Still do not have a large prep pantry but working on it. Thank you for sharing your information.
I do wish that my wife was a go getter like you but it is what it is she does good and watches our money and gets all of the food I ask her to and she’s into prepping too so it’s all good her knees are so bad she can barely walk so if we have to get to my cabin it’s gonna be tough but we can do it 🇺🇸👍
Wonderful video of the basics to survive everyday life and not so much everyday life! 😄 Jinne I had been buying the large boxes of baking soda for the last two or three years because I use it for everything! But it has gone up over a dollar a box. So the next time I went to Sam's club I saw the large bag of baking soda and grabbed it for$8.50 I believe. We need to save wherever we can. Thank you so much for helping and encouraging us to continue to prep even when we are tired and sick. You are the best.😄👍💖☕🇺🇸
My question too. I have not pulled the trigger on buying wheat berries. I have a source close by. But really concerned about getting a grinder - which brand - what works - electric or hand grinder or both.
They aren’t as large as that bucket but my grocery store will give you empty frosting buckets from the bakery if you ask nicely. They are messy and need cleaning out though. I keep my bagged pasta, flour and sugar bags in them.
Jenni, how do you can your butter? Do you just cook and hot jar seal, hot water bath, or preasure can. That would be a great video, if you haven't already done a video on that. Thanks great must have video ❤.
@homestead corner - dry Barley is a good one to have too, I make my own recipe soup with that added and a few other recipes. Not the quick cook one though, that's gross lol
I keep mine in the fridge, I try to start a new jar every six months or so, never had it go bad. My grandmother left it out on the stove. She just used it and added more, I don't think she ever cleaned it out. 😉
Found a LDS store 5 minutes away and yes very affordable thanks Jinny. With the salt if you make a little mesh satchet with some rice work well for moisture.
@@HomesteadCorner thanks!!!! I have put up three half gallon jars, this is my first attempt. I really enjoy your channel, please keep those videos coming. We need them now more than ever. ❤️
What about the air that is already in the bucket after it's sealed with an airtight lid? Wouldn't it be good to add some oxygen absorbers in the bucket before putting the top on it?
Where is the LDL store or site..I live in Indiana and did not know about them. Can you use freeze dried eggs in baking? Thank you for all your information.
Something is wrong, I tried to order from thrive under your account. They won’t take my password. So I can’t buy powdered milk to help me and help you. Is there a secret to the checkout process?
dont tell suttons daze , their followers will harass the heck outta you for canning butter spam your vid's etc, they are NUTZ , i can a years worth at a time each year , saves us a heap
Great video Jinnie. You'll have to get a cat to chase the mice out of your pantry. We've had bad times with mice and thank goodness for our cats. What happens to your chickens in the winter months? I need to get some of those big buckets. Food is getting harder to find some days and it definitely isn't going to get cheaper. Thanks for helping us get a great survival pantry together. Stay safe

I keep raw honey, coconut oil and olive oil in the original plastic or glass containers but would put these inside either two-gallon buckets or small size cardboard boxes if I needed to relocate my food storage in a hurry. The last thing I want is to be side lined by a sudden flair up of back pain if I need to load my truck with food storage and do an emergency evacuation.
Yes, great list! Have those basics and you can build from there.
If you ever need buckets if you have a bakery close to you sometimes they have food grade buckets most the time they give them away
Excellent list of essentials Jinne, & I'm happy to say I have all of these.👍
TFS HC, take care & keep really busy everyone. ❤🙂🐶
Thanks Jinnie. It's a good idea for people to start practicing cooking and baking from scratch. Agree with getting baking powder in smaller quantities.
Most of what you showed are the basic building blocks especially for baking all sorts of items like breads, cakes, biscuits and more. Prepared foods may be convienient but more and more containing very unhealthy ingredients and you can also adjust your ingredients for recipes to not use as much sugar or salt and it will still be great. Eating healthy is always important but will be even more so in emergency situations.
Thank you ! Always love your helpful tips .
I will say I love your attitude. No Princess just real life Love it
Just ❤ you Jinnie! All your videos…I’ve learned so much! Our family can’t Thank You Enough! 🙏🏽🫶🏽🙏🏽
I'm so glad the videos are helpful! That is what I'm all about! 💕
I enjoy your videos. They are so informative. I am a novice at homesteading. Second year to garden. 3rd year to prep. Still do not have a large prep pantry but working on it. Thank you for sharing your information.
I do wish that my wife was a go getter like you but it is what it is she does good and watches our money and gets all of the food I ask her to and she’s into prepping too so it’s all good her knees are so bad she can barely walk so if we have to get to my cabin it’s gonna be tough but we can do it 🇺🇸👍
Good morning have a great day.
Wonderful video of the basics to survive everyday life and not so much everyday life! 😄 Jinne I had been buying the large boxes of baking soda for the last two or three years because I use it for everything! But it has gone up over a dollar a box. So the next time I went to Sam's club I saw the large bag of baking soda and grabbed it for$8.50 I believe. We need to save wherever we can. Thank you so much for helping and encouraging us to continue to prep even when we are tired and sick. You are the best.😄👍💖☕🇺🇸
Thank you for all the great information! Do you have a recommendation for a mill to grind wheat berries?
My question too.
I have not pulled the trigger on buying wheat berries.
I have a source close by.
But really concerned about getting a grinder - which brand - what works - electric or hand grinder or both.
They aren’t as large as that bucket but my grocery store will give you empty frosting buckets from the bakery if you ask nicely. They are messy and need cleaning out though. I keep my bagged pasta, flour and sugar bags in them.
Thank you, Jinne.
Great recommendations.
I've got the boxed yeast
Thanks for the reminder of the basics.
I wanna thank you so much...I've learned soooo much from you
Great video
QUESTION: The only freeze-dried eggs that Thrive Life has are scrambled. IS THE WHAT YOU WERE SHOWING US?
Jenni, how do you can your butter? Do you just cook and hot jar seal, hot water bath, or preasure can. That would be a great video, if you haven't already done a video on that. Thanks great must have video ❤.
I would also like to know how you can your butter. We use a lot of butter. I have some cans of powdered butter, but would also like to can some.
Jinni's video on Canning Butter!

I love your advice ❤️ Thank you! I have everything except the yeast and baking powder. Thank you! You're the best!
Great list
I did donate 2.00 don't know where u got that from. This is the second time seeing this
I keep my sugar in those plastic containers that use to be 5 pounders. Thanks Jenni for the reminders!,,
Great must haves! How do you can your butter? Just melt it and can it? Ghee? TFS
@homestead corner - dry Barley is a good one to have too, I make my own recipe soup with that added and a few other recipes. Not the quick cook one though, that's gross lol
Great list, thanks, Jinne. 😊
How long do you save your bacon grease? Should it be refrigerated? Great video
I keep mine in the fridge, I try to start a new jar every six months or so, never had it go bad. My grandmother left it out on the stove. She just used it and added more, I don't think she ever cleaned it out. 😉
Do you water glass eggs for long term storage ❤
Found a LDS store 5 minutes away and yes very affordable thanks Jinny. With the salt if you make a little mesh satchet with some rice work well for moisture.
My grandmother always put a few grains of rice in the saltshaker.
Awesome info!! Thank you!!
Can you do a video on canning butter?
You can use baking soda for deodorant.
Hey Jinne !!!! Great list, thank you. Do you water glass your fresh eggs? If so, Have you had success?
I have water glassed eggs.. I don't love it, I find the white gets too watery. I personally prefer the freeze dried eggs.
@@HomesteadCorner thanks!!!! I have put up three half gallon jars, this is my first attempt. I really enjoy your channel, please keep those videos coming. We need them now more than ever. ❤️
Great list, we're gotten multiples of everything on this list. Thank you, appreciate it.
What about the air that is already in the bucket after it's sealed with an airtight lid? Wouldn't it be good to add some oxygen absorbers in the bucket before putting the top on it?
I can't can, but I buy jars of ghee
Which olive oil do you recommend?
What is the difference between instant yeast and brick yeast?
Do you have a link for the dessicant paks that you use, Jinne? @Homestead Corner
Where is the LDL store or site..I live in Indiana and did not know about them. Can you use freeze dried eggs in baking? Thank you for all your information.
Which LDS company do you use for your long term storage food? Is this where you get the dry milk?
If I freeze yeast, will it last longer? Or should it not be frozen at all?
I keep mine frozen and it lasts way beyond the freshness date. You should proof it before making bread to see if is is still good.
@@bonniekay6486 Good to know - thanks!
Where do you buy the silica packs?
Did she say she canned her butter regularly and didn't turn it into ghee.
If you can butter without taking milk soild out. Do you use it like regular butter? I've never canned butter or Gee
Something is wrong, I tried to order from thrive under your account. They won’t take my password. So I can’t buy powdered milk to help me and help you. Is there a secret to the checkout process?
What is the brand name of the dried milk and eggs please?
The milk and eggs are from Thrive Life, the milk is currently 60% OFF! homesteadcorner.thrivelife.com/milk-powder.html
@@HomesteadCorner thank you I am in the UK and does not look like I can get that brand but thanks again XXX
Why must salt be kept air tight?
Humidity.
👏👏👏👍💞
dont tell suttons daze , their followers will harass the heck outta you for canning butter spam your vid's etc, they are NUTZ , i can a years worth at a time each year , saves us a heap
Great video Jinnie. You'll have to get a cat to chase the mice out of your pantry. We've had bad times with mice and thank goodness for our cats. What happens to your chickens in the winter months? I need to get some of those big buckets. Food is getting harder to find some days and it definitely isn't going to get cheaper. Thanks for helping us get a great survival pantry together. Stay safe
