Me again. I've also made it a goal to keep the Blessing Box at the church stocked. Every week after I do my grocery shopping, I add items. Canned soups, chili's, apple sauce., canned fruit and veggies. I always leave 2 rolls of toilet paper and baby wipes. Last week, I got another thank you card in the box. " thank you all do much. I am a single mom with 1yr, 4 yr, 8yrold. I cry every time I see how much you all have left in the box for me and others. Its all done thru LOVE.
Dollar Tree has all kinds of shelf stable milk, I’ve been stocking up. It’s definitely important to rotate through your stockpile. It’s a waste if you don’t use what you already have. I’ve often given food away to friends in need, and it’s never shorted my family. I’m not worried about someone trying to steal it, much like you. If someone wants it and they can get past me, they can have it! Great video Tory!
Wow, this is an incredible challenge and I’m pulling for you to see it thru bc it would be an amazing accomplishment👍👍👍 TYFS, I hope you’re doing/feeling well and having a great day♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️
I've hit a goal and still add alittle every week in different categories. We have some extras and our kinda awake family and friends will be helped. This is for the long haul. Tori- praying for you all. God's got you and you have a great support base here.
I know I could not do this because of the very limited space we have for food shortage. However, for those who have been storing, its great to use it up and start over so nothing goes to waste.
You have such a sweet spirit. I started prepping for disaster LGB. We lost our income, health through no fault of our own, and my amazing apple tree and garden failed last season. Stunning. We have been in prayer and we will trust God through it all. God Bless you and please pray for righteousness.
Hi Tory, love your prepper pantry. I do think you can do the no grocery store for a year. Growing your fresh fruit and vegetables and bartering should work out. I’m excited to see this journey with you. Much love to you and your family.❤😊
practice makes prefect, one can never talk about being prepared enough. we have worked on a 2 year prep and it has gone well, then we have long term preps. I`m working on medical and protection now, cameras are going up soon, solar powered hopefully. you look great, take good care, Miss Tory. staying home for a year seems a good idea with the bad going ons in the big city right now. thanks for sharing as always . . . later gator.🐊
Good Sunday morning Tori. As always, I'm glad to see you're doing well. What a haul. I do believe my favorite items are those boxes of good old Rice-a-Roni and Pasta-Roni - and that healthy Oatmilk, that nutriva Coconut oil, that frozen vegetable pizza. As always, Tori, thanks for your recommendations as to what foods should be well stocked in our pantries during these harsh economic times. 👍👍🌼🌼 ❤❤
I love this! I want to challenge myself to only shop my farmers market while they are open… And of course my garden fingers crossed! An entire year is impressive.
Baked oatmeal has been our favorite lately. I add eggs, honey, cinnamon, raisins, walnuts, peaches it goes so far! Have you thought about baby what it may need not sounding rude! I’m glad I don’t have a little one. I freak out.😢
I have dealt with bugs in my dried chilies 🌶 I keep them in stock year around to make tamales sauce but now I keep them in the freezer in a Ziploc bag. Because those bugs will eat the dry chilis.
Place a 1" X !" Board about 3 inches above the shelf for all your canning and glass jars. This will prevent them from falling off and breaking in an earthquake. You have so much stuff exposed to allowing mice to get at your food supply!
I've got two years prep going and 5 years water rhats been treated. You need more water. Don't do this no grocery store no go now keep adding because you're going to need what you've got.
Hey friend. People are just scared ....I think. We can't live by 'what if's'. We got to keep plugging along....and take care of that situation if and when it arises. I feel like I have enough for a year....not sure. With Adam, Shelby and her fiance', and probably his dad cause His wife passed away, my mom, me and 2 dogs😂😂😂 maybe I need more🙃😂 plus...my neighbors, which consist of man, wife and he takes care of his elderly mother....BUT....he can fix anything and they have chickens already and we both garden. And his wife works at kroger and gets a discount....So....its a win win situation. I love squash. I sauteed zucchini, yellow squash and onions this morning, as a side to our scrambled eggs. It was soooo good. Great ideas....I saw the chickpea masala in your stash....I need to find that and give it a try...sounds yummy.
So very true, you are amazing for taking care of your community! Truly an inspiration and Im glad our paths crossed ❤️ that sounds sooo good 😊 oh yes, the best I found mine at dollar tree again!!
Our groceries are like $200/wk... And that's with 2 of the kids not eating meat or eggs and being lactose intolerant 😅 I just want to grow our food in our back yard
I think all church members should put1 can food n blessing box every Sunday morning. Its not much but it adds up quickly.also a closet for clothes coats n shoes. Be good if each made 1 10foot by 2 foot wool scarf per week. The people at Pine ridge Native American indian reservation in South Dakota would love it also sox.Please they need all the help u can give perhaps a chursh could get a 55000 lb tractor trailer of food delivered free anywhere in lower 48 usa for $5400
Hey hun, one thin to think about is the amount of trash you may be producing. When I stockpile, I consider three things. How much does every item use Energy, water, and trash produced. Just food for thought.
My prepper pantry will last us a year easy.. without expiring. It should be noted that if it says..'best by' (date)..I still use it, although I will rotate to the front to be used first. We do allow up to $70 Australian a fortnight ($47 US) for fresh produce such as salad veggies, ( We grow our own during summers months)We also buy fresh eggs and dairy (not a fan of frozen cheese) Nb: We do not eat land meat, which would be an added expense to those who don't grow their own, ( unless you hunt for your animal protein, no judgement).We do however eat fresh fish. I buy vegetables fresh and snap freeze them ourselves during winter... Having said that, we could live without going to the store at all. We don't have long term storage, but we do rotate what we have. I would be very interested in follow you journey not to go to the grocery store. Will you be using any of your long term storage as a supplement to you pantry?
That is inspiring, yes I will use flour and beans from that pantry. I will also be utilizing local farms and artisans, my goal is just stay out of the big box stores
You should take your canned goods out of your plastic containers and save them for boxed goods or things that are packaged in sacks, your wheat berries. This prevents mice or rats from getting to them You can put canned goods anywhere that doesn't need protection.

@@MountainMommaLiving You're quite welcome of course Tori - and you have a great week as well. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌼🌼
Good morning! Have a great day 😊
I really like that home canning shelf area you've made. That's a big goal, I hope you can do it.
Your preps are looking good. Thanks! 👍
Thank you, I enjoy it so much! I think it will absolutely be a challenge I am up for :)
I love this! I want to challenge myself to only shop my farmers market while they are open… And of course my garden fingers crossed! An entire year is impressive.
Yes, yes and more yes! Wish we lived closer friend ❤️
You are new and starting out, and you are doing very good!!! I like your videos!
Thanks so much, definitely not too new but yes I am learning more and more everyday ❤️
Baked oatmeal has been our favorite lately. I add eggs, honey, cinnamon, raisins, walnuts, peaches it goes so far! Have you thought about baby what it may need not sounding rude! I’m glad I don’t have a little one. I freak out.😢
That sounds yummy ❤️🥰 oh yes, we have everything we need for our gal. I appreciate your support 🥰

We will be just fine, thank you for your concern ❤️
I've got two years prep going and 5 years water rhats been treated. You need more water. Don't do this no grocery store no go now keep adding because you're going to need what you've got.
Oh wow I hope you can get it done but that's definitely a challenge😊
Great video❤
Thank you friend ❤️
Before you freeze your zucchini, do you have to do anything to it? I'm new at this, and I would like to learn!
I prefer not to blanch my zucchini because it has so much water in it to begin with :)
You should store your bags of pecans in the freezer. 😊

Ugh that is a bummer, I so agree!!
I want to do this to! But all you hear is about shortages coming then I get afraid
I totally agree, it is a lot to consider ❤️

Definitely something to think about ❤️ thank you
Good keep saving
The things that we freeze in for our freezer box how long do they last in there?
In my deep freeze up to 2 years but my everyday pull out freezer about a year ❤️
@@MountainMommaLiving Thank you for sharing and answering my questions!
@@JenniferD.-wt4uj of course ❤️🥰

Thank you so much! Feeling okay, I appreciate your support ❤️❤️❤️
💜💜💜💜💜

If u use it now, isn’t that going against your goal of having supplies when the stores are out or closed?
Nope, I have plenty of stock. I will just being staying out of the big box stores, I plan to support my local farms ❤️
@@MountainMommaLiving Well, sure understand that one. I’m just trying to find out more about the prepping world. Thanks for responding, and hope things go well with the baby.

B careful Please.
Great challenge but this will not last a whole year! Not sustainable. You will have to go in for groceries.
I wont be going to the grocery store as stated in the video. Will I support local farms and others in the community? Yes.
