My Prepper Pantry Grocery Haul | Building a Three Month Prepper Pantry
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 авг 2020
- I’m continuing to work at putting together a three month prepper pantry as I prepare for the second wave so this grocery haul is meant to fill in a few gaps. There may be tough times ahead so I’m engaging in emergency preparedness by putting up an emergency food supply. I’ve tried to choose carefully as I'm concerned about long term food storage, shelf stable items, food variety, and of course, nutritious value. This is prepping for beginners so join me as I share my prepping journey.

Hi Homemakers, there has been a lot of interested generated by the dried whole eggs. Here's the link should you wish to check them out: Whole Powdered Eggs amzn.to/31c0ZE4.
Not sure if anyone else mentioned this in the comments. AUGASON farms has #10 cans of very, very long term shelf stable foods. One of the most popular is the tomato powder. Not sure how much it is now but it goes on sale for $20. Usually around $41 full price. They have a number of of good products.
Not heard of them but I will check them out. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. I amazed at all this interest in prepping but glad people are ready for it.
I bought garbage bags but never thought of that use!😩
Todd Hendricks Todd, I like the way you think. We are here to help others. You have got some real goodies stored up. I’m going to try freezing eggs just to see what happens.
Just discovered your channel recently, and I'm so excited! You're so smart, and you have the sweetest attitude, that listening to you is like listening to my Mama 🙂
Shredded cheese freezes and thaws well when using for cooking, I’ve done this many times.
v nickcolvin Thank you Nick. I’m glad to know that I can freeze cheese without any problem.
Here are some foods I have stocked in my pandemic pantry:
1) Heart Healthy Bisquick + cans of sausage gravy so we can have biscuits and gravy sometimes as a treat for breakfast
2) Little cartons of dehydrated hash brown potatoes + a large canister of dried onion flakes, both from Costco, so we can have onion-flavored hash brown potatoes some mornings with an omelet. I put some onion flakes into a carton of dried potatoes, add water and let steep overnight in the refrigerator. Cook the next morning in a cast iron skillet with some bacon droppings. Dust lightly with bacon salt (optional). I rarely have leftovers of this side dish.
3) Lots of cans of Spam, regular or flavored. Slice it and pan-fry until browned on both sides as a breakfast meat or dice it and brown it and use as the meat in spaghetti sauce or in homemade fried rice. Spam usually costs less per oz. than canned ham but is basically the same food.
4) Pull-tab cans of smoked clams + bags of flavored yellow rice/rice pilaf. Add the smoky oil from the can of clams to the pot of cooking rice. During the last 5 minutes add a cup of frozen peas and carrots and let finish cooking. Then mix in the clams and serve.
5) Boxes of macaroni and cheese dinner (any brand). Cook the pasta as directed until al dente and 5 minutes before the pasta is done, stir in one cup of frozen peas and carrots. When the pasta is done, continue with the recipe to make the cheese sauce. The peas and carrots makes this dish a complete meal. Add some diced, browned Spam if you want to boost the protein content.
6) Dried pasta made with white flour (not whole wheat) and colored with vegetable puree (spinach, zucchini, beets or carrots). Tastes like regular pasta but has vegetable fiber. Serve with bottled tomato pasta sauce or alfredo sauce, heated, plus canned mushrooms. If you prefer whole wheat pasta, plan to store it in the freezer because this kind of pasta can go rancid in just 6 months if stored in the pantry.
7) Canned salmon or canned mackerel. Mackerel costs less but is stinky. Use the canned salmon (drained and flaked) mixed with mayonnaise and a little dried dill to make a sandwich filling or use in a recipe for pan-fried salmon patties. If you add the mackerel, flaked (drained and skin/bones removed), to simmering tomato pasta sauce, your sauce will have protein and the acid in the tomatoes will make the stinky fish odor magically disappear (and this tastes surprisingly good over cooked pasta).
8) Canned foods tend to have a mushy texture. To give some crunch to soups, stews and casseroles made with canned foods, rice and pasta add either canned whole kernel corn (drained) or sliced water chestnuts (drained and diced).
9) Two magic ingredients that will give any vegetable, savory sauce, soup, stew or casserole better flavor: bacon drippings or real butter. A dash of onion power or garlic powder can also improve the flavor of a savory dish. A can of bacon drippings will store for months in the refrigerator. Never throw away the drippings from cooking bacon. You will be glad you have free bacon drippings for pan-frying food if cooking oil becomes too expensive or too hard to find.
10) We buy extra bags of shredded cheese and store in our freezer then defrost in our refrigerator when needed. Freezing does not hurt the texture of shredded cheese. Freezing will give a block of cheese or sliced cheese a crumbly texture. If you need sliced cheese for sandwiches but want to store some in your freezer, separate the slices, lay them on a sheet of waxed paper so they do not touch each other and then fold over the waxed paper until your have a bundle of flat cheese slices. Put the bundle inside a freezer bag and store in freezer until needed. Tear off waxed paper sections for the amount of cheese slices you want, let thaw and use on sandwiches. Handle carefully because the slices will tear easily.
11) Yolk-less egg noodles + canned roast beef + canned mushrooms + canned beef gravy + sour cream. The yolk-less egg noodles will store longer in the pantry that regular egg noodles. Cook the noodles and make a sauce of roast beef chunks (drained), sliced mushrooms (drained) and beef gravy. Remove the simmering sauce from heat and stir in some sour cream. Serve over the pasta as a quick kind of Beef Stroganoff.
12) Having difficulty finding small bags of frozen vegetables? Go to the fresh produce section and buy bags of fresh, washed whole green beans, cauliflower pieces and broccoli pieces. Put these bags directly in the freezer (or, if the bag has air holes, transfer the raw veggies to freezer type Zip Lock bags and then freeze). Frozen green beans are easy to snap into bite size pieces and cook up fine in a covered dish in the microwave.
13) Original type Dawn dishwashing detergent is my husband's preferred choice for handwashing non-stick pots and pans because this detergent is very gentle on the hands. Dawn is also gentle enough that it is safe to use as a shampoo or body wash for humans and for pets.
14) Small jars of instant/freeze-dried coffee for grid-down coffee making. Has a long shelf life. Nescafe brand has the best flavor. Get your best prices at dollar stores instead of Wal-Mart or regular supermarkets.
15) Packets of instant cocoa mix. This is a good comfort beverage on cold winter days after you have been outside and gotten chilled.
16) Store your tea bags in a glass canning jar with a tight-fitting lid if the tea bags are not individually wrapped. This will keep them fresh-tasting longer.
Thank you! You're a treasure trove of knowledge! I screenshot your tips for future reference because I couldn't copy and paste. God bless you and yours!
Wow...you,ve really dropped some knowledge. I’m going to save this info and share it with my family. Thank you.
You need your own You Tube Channel! Thanks! This was just the kind of thing I’ve been looking for. I’m trying to put together a recipe book of easy simple survival meals so that I can do the shopping afterwards
Thank you, Linda Wright, for sharing so much with us! Your insight into keeping tea bags fresh is especially appreciated. My family makes at least one pitcher daily. I’m taking notes from you! And agreed with another commenter...you need a blog or channel as well. Love the This and That community. So many great ideas and positive people!
This is extremely helpful. It's great to have a prepper supply but a bit Intimidating to find multiple ways to use it. Food fatigue is a real problem to overcome. Have you ever thought of starting your own channel. Heather
How on Earth are there any down votes on this beautiful lady's videos? Well, the interwebs, will be the interwebs. I'm so peaceful during a crisis, listening to this lady. Thank you.
I like that you said that it's a marathon not a sprint. I've been a little overwhelmed with everything there is to do to prepare, but I'm trusting in the Lord and I know He's going to see us through...AND I believe there is a blessing on the other side. :o)
Michelle Adams Hi Michelle, do trust in the Lord but also do the work. Step one...make the decision to prepare. Step 2...take inventory of what you have on hand. Step 3..determine family needs. Step 4 start putting food aside. Start with a case of water for each person. Then look at getting in a variety of things including rice and beans and canned meats and toilet paper. Just do it in stages. Send me an email and I’ll send you my meal planner bundle. You can use it to inventory your fridge, freezer, and pantry and then start to plan what to buy.
We do need to prepare! There’s plenty of food available right now in the US but other parts of the world, not so much. I try to add a few things to my stock every time I shop and also remind my family we enjoy choice and variety today but we might not have options tomorrow. Survival mode is different!
I’m really shocked to see the whole powdered eggs. That’s something that I never thought about. Great haul. I’m new to your channel and I love your spirit.
Welcome to the T&T community. Powdered eggs...yes. Can scramble or use in baking. Here's a link to where you can get some: Whole Powdered Eggs amzn.to/31c0ZE4
Here are a couple of recommendations: in case the power grid goes down, I highly recommend purchasing a botane gas camp stove and gas cans to power it. I also recommend highly purchasing 50 pounds of rice per person. I have heard it is highly recommended going into the fall to stock up a six-month food supply to make what's coming more comfortable for you and your family.
Hi Kori Lynn, I’m going to work towards a six month food supply first then work towards four, and then five, ultimately, six months of food put up. I’ll get more rice. I probably have ten pounds of rice all together. 50mpounds of rice is a lot of rice per person. But I’ll get some more in. I like rice.
Id got instant mashed potatoes instead of rice. And keep about a years worth of canned goods. Along withv4 to 6 weeks of bottle water. Also at least 30 days of dry mixes for baking .
Muffins pancakes cookies browines cakesvect. Cornbread and bisquick mix.
All can be made over a fold out camp stove or a charcoal grill. In a cast iron pan. ( iv used muffin mixes for pancakes it works. )
Also keep some canned broth and canned gravy that is heat and serve like instant canned soup can be saftly eaten cold.
@@homemakingwithdeniserice in 5 lbs can be found at Aldi good price. Also dollar general.
You can freeze shredded cheese. Defrosting is easy and quick.
Yes I do shredded and block.
What if they shut off electricity you need things to keep on a shelf
Your food storage is shaping up very nicely, Miss Denise! :) Dried/powdered milk, non-fat to whole, doesn't always taste very good to many people when they haven't used it before or often outside of baking with it. I'd like to suggest should anyone new to using them have to, to make the milk the night before if drinking or consuming in cereal and add a teaspoon or less of pure vanilla extract if possible, stirring until the powder is fully dissolved. When chilled overnight this way, the flavor is much more palatable, especially to small and young children.
Kim Donato I get it...powdered milk is not anyone’s favorite but it will do in a pinch. I’ve ordered in some vanilla extract. I like the thought of including a little to make it more palatable. Thank you for that tip.
@@homemakingwithdenise A friend of mine said that she also added a pinch of cinnamon, along with the vanilla and it tasted really good. I have never tried it, but it does sound better than plain. She, too, stored it overnight, as mentioned by Kim Donato.
Hi, Denise. Living in Western Pennsylvania, and being raised by someone who lived through the 'old school', we were always taught to have a grocery stash on hand. You never know when you're going to get snowed in. I like that you've shared this. fyi tuna in a pouch (we always use Albacore) will last 5 years. I get at least 10 pouches every shopping trip. tfs
It’s good to know about the tuna’s long shelf life. I’ll start getting more of those each week.
Yupper I also live in central pa! And we were taught the same thing.
Well done Ms Denise! Glad to see you got the powdered eggs and whole milk too! You'll be glad you've got 'em on the shelf if you ever run out of either in the fridge! You sure lucked out finding those Clorox wipes! Take care.
Jeff Green I know! I could not believe it when I saw them sitting there. And yes, someone recommended the dried eggs and milk. I’m glad I got them.
A note on the Vienna sausages: Sauté olive oil, tomato paste, diced onion, and sliced garlic. Then add the Vienna sausages and stir. Finally, scoop that over a bed of rice or diced avocado. One of my mom's favorite quick recipes. After this, you may like Vienna sausages. Thank you for the video.
I only include pantry stable items in my prepping because if we lose power I don’t want to lose all or most my food.
Do you have boxes of stick matches in glass Mason jars? The jars keep them dry.
Excellent videos!
Shredded cheese freezes just fine! So does butter, and the Walmart butter comes in a 2 pack to save extra $. Also, if you can find raw local honey, it’s really good for you! Can help with allergies, aid in healing and more! Great for making homemade cough syrup, or in your tea to sooth a sore throat. While milk powder works as a substitute creamer for your coffee. We don’t buy dried egg because we have chickens on the homestead... BTW, flax makes a great substitute for eggs in baking. Thanks for sharing your pantry journey with us!
Hi Diggun, it's good to know that shredded cheese freezes nicely. I'll be to sure to break it up into smaller portions...just right for cooking first! Thank you. I appreciate you sharing your wisdom.
@@homemakingwithdenise Would you consider doing a video where you cook a few meals with the powdered eggs? I know one of the prepper rules is to never buy more than 1 of an item before you've tested it. I love to see how well it replaces a fresh egg.
Love your channel.
This and That with Denise Jordan It will actually break up nicely while frozen, so you can pick out what you need for cooking. BTW I found canned cheese at runnings today, queso Blanco. I’m excited to try that.
Chanel M Hmmmm. I don’t know that I want to open that bag of eggs. Let me see if I can find a smaller one to try out for you.
What is flax?
Another thing I'd focus on is oils and fats. My mother-in-law is German and was there during WW2. She said her father became deathly ill because they were so desperate for a bit of fat to cook something in that the mother used MOTOR OIL out of desperation and about killed him. Oils don't last forever so you can store them in the fridge all the time. Another alternative that lasts years past its expiration date is stuff like Crisco shortening which you can use in baking or melt. Granted it's not great for you but hey, are you kidding? I can't imagine being so desperate that I'd use MOTOR OIL to try to cook with but those were not stupid people and it was desperate times. So I have a couple containers of Crisco, plus coconut oil jars.
Back in the day, my mama would buy a five pound block of cheese, shred it all, bag it, and store it in our little freezer. This was in the '80's and '90's.
Just a suggestion; a Water Bob. It's a water bladder that fits inside your bathtub. Attach it to your tub faucet and fill it, it holds about 100 gal. Comes with a hand pump for removing water. You can't have enough water. They are kind of hard to find right now but you might want to put that on your list. I got mine at Amazon. Enjoying your videos, thanks. Powdered butter too, it's not bad.
Look up haybox cooking. It will be a great trick if needed. For Velveeta, I'd say try to open that during the cold months and if power is out then outside can be refrigerator/ freezer. Tang instead of lemonade. One serving of tang give 100% of daily vitamin C. Bulk up on rice and pasta.... And Seasoning. Taco, chili, beef and chicken bouillon, can turn rice and pasta into so many different meals. Oils and sugar for baking. Multivitamins. You are doing Wonderful! Keep Going !!!!
It does take a lot of money to build a prepper supply. Most of the stuff I get I will rotate thru and regularly replace, so nothing gets stale, ( except stuff like powdered milk, which will only get used if I HAVE to! )
We get no vacation this year, so I count this as a necessary splurge. I will be glad for it later, I'm sure.
Ethel Tilton me too. No vacation so using money to buy food for my prep.
The preseasoned tuna and chicken are good to blend with a small can of unseasoned chicken or tuna. The preseasoned options could have an overpowering flavor for some people.
@ Mrs. Jordan, I like your video and the different items you purchased. The items you showed would fall in the comfort/morale area. That's good because in austere environments rationing those items will be good for you. I'd suggest getting Mr. Jordan out fishing as much as possible to fill your freezer.
Have you heard of Calcium Hypo Chlorite aka "pool shock"? You can buy it online from pool maintenance supply houses. Lean how to use it and you won't have to worry about bleach wipes for a long time. It can also be used in water purification. You'll want it in powder form 68%. Dry-Tec is the brand I have. Store it out of the way. Preferably in a large glass jar with a plastic lid. It will react with metal lids. Don't open it until you need it.
Another item that will be very informative is the Special Operation Force Medical Handbook. It will explain how to use the pool shock and sanitary procedures in austere conditions.
My friend Karl Erickson has a RUclips channel called Tactical Rifleman and he has a couple episodes on water purification.
Welcome to the club and good luck,
Charlie
I freeze shredded cheese all the time. Take out a day before use to defrost in the fridge. It’s great!
You are amazing. Thanks for being so real. Vienna sausages are great. Especially while fishing or hunting. Can also be used as bait. Dual purpose prepping. Your hubby is a lucky guy and, he damn well better appreciate you. I could listen to you all day.
The DAK hams, SPAM, Treet, etc. Slice it and FRY it! That really makes it tasty, and it reheats better than bacon. Promise. The texture is sorta like kielbasa sausage, but not. Its like difference between ice cream & frozen yogurt, both are good.
Mac& cheese bxs-choose the ones that have cheese sauce, not cheese powder. Walmart's fancy m&c are very tasty.
Any box mixes, select the ones that only need water. Or oil.
Don't buy water, buy the big bttl of juice. Then you got free bttles for emergency water whenever needed.
Powdered milk-best when cold, of course, but start it with HOT water to dissolve it. And can add vanilla.
Angela L those are good ideas. Buy juice then fill the bottles with water. And that’s a good idea...but packs with cheese sauce and conserve water, I like it.
@@homemakingwithdenise Velveeta makes a 4-ounce packet of the cheese sauce. I found it at Dollar Tree once and the next time I was there, it was gone! I got some at Walmart once, but I haven't seen it since then. It doesn't show up on either of their websites, but Amazon has it.
We freeze shredded and also sandwich cheese. Our family loves cheese of all “makes and models”. 😂
Angela Peck it’s good to know about freezing the shredded cheese. I’ll be getting this frozen!
I am really enjoying your videos! I am starting a prepper pantry myself and I was starting to have a lot of anxiety around it. You are a very calming influence. I think some of the ideas I hadn’t thought of that you had in your haul were the dried eggs, the whole dried milk and the Gatorade. That’s a great suggestion for illness. One thing I saw on another lady’s channel is getting a 72 hour food supply into a bin that you can just grab and throw in your car if you need to leave your house for an extended period such as a tornado situation or what have you. I thought that was a great idea. She also suggested a blackout box for power outages. It has lanterns and flashlights of various sizes, candles, matches, a lighter, a manual can opener, battery operated personal fans and cooling towels if it’s hot. Also card games, bottles of water for the cooling towels, and baby wipes for whatever, charged up phone chargers and a hand crank radio. I thought that was a great idea as well. She said that should also be thrown in the car if you need to leave.
One last comment. Your voice is audio ,comfort food during this shit show we seem to be stuck with..Bless you.
Consider storing powdered gatorade mix and water separately so you can mix it up as you want. If you store gatorade as liquid you can only use that fluid as gatorade.
I found you through Marys Nest. I love how you ladies support and recommend each other. Every one of you lovely ladies bring something unique to teach us, Thank You.
Add isopropyl alcohol to any brand of liquid soap and you have anti bacterial soap.
mshaifa123 what a good idea. Nice and simple and just great.
Thanks for the tip! I will definitely be trying this.
Good buys!! I think it is so important nowadays especially, if you are able to do so, buy extra when you go to the store and buy with the idea that you're going to set up an emergency food supply. Our local grocery store has BOGO's a lot and if there's a BOGO on items that we normally use, we stock up. We stock up on sale items that we use. We are building up a food pantry that will last us several months in time of dire need. It's also important to rotate these items in to your kitchen when needed but be sure to replenish the pantry! Thanks for sharing!!
--Did you know, that you do not have to buy 'special' refill foaming hand soap? It has to do with the dispenser, not the soap. Just dilute any liquid hand soap and reuse your foaming dispenser.
--I always buy a case when I find a good sale. Recently our discount store had butter for less than $1.50 per pound! I bought 10 and put them in the freezer.
--We like biscuits and gravy. If I happen to be cooking bulk sausage, I save the grease in a container and mix in flour and seasonings to make a paste, sometimes some crumbled sausage too. This is kept in the freezer. When we want sausage gravy, I scoop out enough and cook it up with milk and its good to go. I suppose you could make pre-portioned amounts, it might make life easier.
I may have missed it but I'd definitely get a big supply of bullion cubes in the flavors you use. I'd also buy sauces such as Worchestershire (be sure to taste before you buy a lot as I've found only Lea and Perrins is the brand I like) and soy sauces (same deal, I like Kikoman and not the store brands), and things like that. You can't really make Worchestershire and soy sauce easily yourself. Also I like Crystal Hot Sauce so I make sure to have enough of that. I store some extra stuff like ketchup but I really store a lot of little cans of tomato paste which can easily be turned into ketchup with a bit of water, vinegar and spices. Which also brings up spices...I store those I can't grow myself--like cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and such.
Well I'll be....never heard of shelly beans. Will have to look for them. How informative Denise!
Margaret, the shelly beans are really quite nice. You will like them. Kroger, Walmart, most grocery stores should have them. But now that I say this, it had been a while since I'd seen them.
In some areas of the country, shelly beans are called field peas with snaps. I don't get them often but I have 3 right now and need to get more. They really are good!
I freeze shredded cheese all the time for decade just defrost it out in the refrigerator
Another prep is crafts or color crowns for grandkids to do. If you get a dehydrated it will help you make shelf stable meats and other thing. Canning is good to do also.
Bags of Sabritones, which taste like pork skins, but are fried wheat skins. I prefer it without he chili and lime sprinkles, because in Acapulco,they were plain also, so I could use my Louisiana
hot sauce.
You could add seasonings you use regularly. That way you're still eating flavors you're use to. Just a thought 💜
I bought some dehydrated veggies from Amazon. About $25 for a two lb. bag of carrot, red pepper, onion, cabbage, potato and I don't remember what else. It's mixed together and resembles what you would find in a cup of ramen. I also did two shelf stable cans of dehydrated potatoes, a container of minced onion, chopped onion, butter power and tomato powder. I love your videos and subscribed. I feel I don't have enough but I probably do. I have a small walk in pantry and have been filling it for months. I have a chest freezer filled but not enough room in there. Thank you for keeping me calm because the other prepped videos were making me quite insane, lol. No, seriously, they were scaring me. Can't afford generators and solar panels.
Oh yes, we must stay calm and carry on. Just build what and where you can. If your freezer is full, work on your shelf stable items and canned meats or proteins you don’t have to cook.
I haven't seen powdered Eggs in years! Ill be adding them, and the powdered milk to my list.
I discovered your channel just 2 days ago. Already, you've become 1 of my top 5 RUclipsrs. You have such a sweet spirit.
My husband has Alpha Gal syndrome and cannot have any meat that grows on the hoof.. So we eat a lot of fish, chicken and turkey products. Thankfully there are a lot of options these days. I have been buying frozen turkey burgers, cooking them in a skillet and squirting some bar-b-que sauce on top toward the end of cooking. He LOVES it.. Makes him not miss hamburgers so much. We buy freeze dried food through a company we are affiliated with so we have a 'grocery store' in the basement. One thing we are always on the lookout for is chunky soups on sale. I buy FF Onions by the big bag at Sam's. I use them for meals almost daily.. Them and grated cheddar cheese are 'must have's' in our house.
Most interesting'.... The steak sizzler things.. I would try them on top of chicken or turkey slices.. I'm going to look in to them..
Just to let you know. To make powdered milk taste great, when you make it use hot water, add a tsp. Of vanilla flavoring, about 1/3 cup of splenda....stir, & refrigerate. My kids love it with corn flakes.
Rolled oats is a must in my pantry. Not only is it great for breakfast but it can be blended into oat flour and used for baking.
I am slowly working on a 3-6 month supply myself. I am just buying an extra of the things I already use such as if pasta sauce is on my list I will buy 2 or 3 instead of just 1 to replace. Its working, now I just have to make sure I rotate my stock First in First out. Great video!
The apple cider vinegar should have the” mother” in it the fermentation action.Also I am watching the sugar content on food. Watch for high fructose corn syrup. I have started using Stevia. I am a mini prepper. Good luck. One thing I recently learned on FB so it must be true! 😉 is that the bleach that does not splash not good for disinfecting. Just whitening. .i have also purchased a 2 gallon water filter I use right now for city water, yuck.
Love your channel! It is good to see people of color prepping. I especially like your channel because you remind me of my late, three(3) beautiful creole sisters.
Oh my goodness, you are the sweetest! I love watching your videos!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! God bless!!!
My recipe for chili.. one can chili, one can stewed tomatoes, one can light red kidney beans, one can tomato soup add a little water. Heat all in sauce pan, put in a bowl, add some cheddar cheese on the top and then finish it off with a large dollop of sour cream. It is hardy .
Shredded cheese freezes just fine. I do it all the time. I take it out the day before to let it thaw. It works perfectly.
The most interesting thing for me was when you talked about the bay leaves. I paused the channel and immediately jumped on Amazon and ordered a big container of them. Thanks!
I have purchased several cans of Keystone brand 28oz cans of Canned Chicken, Pork, Beef, and Ground Beef. I use them in soups, and cooking meals in the crock pot. You can purchase them from Kroger's or Walmart.
I just found your channel....and I have to tell you....you are ADORABLE! Loved, your video. I picked up the same powder eggs and full fat dried milk along with powdered cheddar cheese. I also picked up some powdered butter just Incase. I would like to add to your list is dehydrated diced carrots, celery, onions and bell peppers...nice to have on hand. I like the Augason Frams brand. You, can find it on Amazon. I also use Augason’s dried tomato powder.
If you have the dried veggies on hand with some bouillon cubes you have the making of some soup...add in some rice and canned chicken and good to go without too much fuss.Haha, of course saltines too.
PS Love your apron! 😉
I freeze sliced cheeses, shredded cheeses, and cubed cheeses, along with cream cheese and it has always thawed and worked well for us.
You are doing so good with your preps for a beginner. The favorite item you bought was more garbage bags. Congrats on the Clorox Wipes as well.
The Dax ham was a smart purchase too.
If you use a lot of cheese, what about preserving it by dipping in wax. This preserves the cheese for years.
5lb double-pack of Quaker oatmeal for $9.49 my local Costco. Get mylar bags to prolong shelf life of your great purchases. Buy a mylar bag sealerr or use your curling iron.
Keep the wonderful videos coming.
Picking up garbage bags in case the water supply is cut. Great idea!! We have done something similar when we went camping in the wild {okay, the camp ground}. LOL
We turned our spare bedroom into a prepper pantry a month after the start of " covid " . Thanks for the video. I truly hope more people are getting prepared. God bless
Most interesting item....whole dried eggs
Hi Elainea, I must agree with you. I had heard of powdered eggs before but I'd never purchased any so it was good to get them. How's your pantry coming along?
I used to buy powdered eggs in Park City. I had to go to the mormons or the survival sites to get it. I had NO IDEA it was mainstream after the keto craze. I've spent so much on my preps, I need to wait a minute to order eggs, sour cream and butter powder. Glad I glanced at your video in my feed.
My mother put bay leaves under her shelf paper wjere she kept dry goods. Never thought about it bit it worked.
Thanks for the video, I am a new scriber, I am middle aged but with no children or grandchildren so I never worried about cooking and prepping until now. Your videos have taught me a lot
I can't believe you scored Clorox wipes! I haven't seen those since early March. And hand sanitizer! Wow. You're tracking very well on your pantry. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Just found your channel and subbed. Lots of good information here. Thanks. I'm an old hurricane prepper in Florida getting ready for this weekend. Hope everyone stay safe and dry.
You really put so much thought into how you select your storage. I didn't even think about some of these items that would be a must. Thank you for making these videos!
You are quite welcome. I'm just trying to help people thing about what they might need to do, to buy, and not bring gloom and doom. There is enough of that out there already. What items stood out to you? Like, what didn't you think of that I did?
You have such a lovely style! The powdered eggs were the most interesting!
Anne Joyner Thank you, Anne. I appreciate that, I am kind of geeking over those powdered eggs, too!
You can get regular clear handsoap. Add water to it and u can use in foaming soap dispenser. Really spreads it out
Get a bag or box of clumping kitty litter. For camping we have used a 5 gallon bucket, garbage bag, and kitty litter to keep the smell down. You can even get the kitty scoop and keep it real clean. But make sure you get the heavy duty bags! :D I like the hash! I forgot about that. It is sorta greasy, but I like it with alot of green onion cooked in with it.
When you the shredded cheese make sure you store is a freezer storage bag laying flat. I will not clump up bad when you get ready to use it. I have done it this way many times and never had a problem.
Hi Mika, okay...lay it flat so it doesn't clump up. got it. What item caught your attention in this haul?
@@homemakingwithdenise
The drinks dried eggs. I am getting my pantry prepared as well for my family. I loved and found your last video so helpful.
@@shamikacameron4059 I am so glad. Please share it. I am trying to get all my family to do this too, but I get a few funny looks. I'll keep encouraging.
Extra garbage bags are also needed incase garbage pickup doesn't happen. For use in toilet you want extra heavy duty or enough bags to double them up. An extra garbage can is also a good idea.
I’m going to send the hubby out for that garbage can. You think a galvanized one?
@@homemakingwithdenise It depends on whether it will be stored outside or inside. I keep mine in the garage so have plastic although my extras are older galvanized. A new galvanized can would make a good storage container from preps until its needed as a garbage can.
I just subscribed. Now I’m going to look for your other videos. You are just lovely! I appreciate how you are straight and to the point without going on crazy long rants and getting off topic which seems to be rare in prepping videos. I’ve never heard Mozzarella pronounced that way before. 😉
Please stock up on Water! Along with a second water source! Berky water filtration system, can purchase on Amazon. Ok, you said you did pick up water👍 I would still look into a alternative water source! Also if you don’t have a dehydrator they are nice to have. You can dehydrate fruits and veggies to add to your pantry. Canning is a great addition to any pantry as well. Being able to can your own meats and soups and such is great! And if you like beans I’d pick some of those up too.....Navy, lima, lentils etc......and rice. God Bless🌸
I use a lot of canned Hams:
place in deep skillet add can of pineapple, heat in oven for sandwiches, I add to soups, beans, butter noodles, fried potatoes, scrambled eggs, salads. So many things you can do with canned hams
The canned hams I've been buying have no best buy, or expire dates, I read because the are cooked already.
Steak Sizzlers! These are new to us!
i purchase those small canned hams at family dollar. its just around 10.00 for 3 of them. i keep lots of tuna, some hash, treet meat. my husband likes the vienna sausages as well. when i was a child my aunt would mash them and add mayo and i believe relish to make a sandwich spread. i like tuna in my mac n cheese. we freeze shredded cheese all the time. no problems with it. :). i ordered two large containers of the gatorade powder from amazon at the beginning of the pandemic just in case we would need it.
Wait! You can get those little hams at Family Dollar? I'll have to go check them out. Thank you. I like the thought of the Gator Ade powder...less space! So good to know you freeze shredded cheese with no problems. Anything else I bought that struck your fancy?
At walmart too
I would look into a Berkey water filter, they are not cheep but last a long time. Also I would buy pancake mix that mix with water its simple and cheep. I just found your channel and thumbs up
Alaska prepper has a video where he shows how to make a Berkey type water filter from a pair of Berkey filters, 2 -5 gallon food grade buckets, 1 regular lid and 1 gamma lid. You also need a beverage container faucet.
I found a different set of filters just like them, for about $50 less, and they come with fluoride filters. The filters will handle 6 thousand gallons of water but, the fluoride filters only 1 thousand. I need to get 3 more sets of fluoride filters, and 1 more set of both and I'm good for several years. If you don't have fluoride in your water, you can get a less expensive set. My initial set-up is less than $150, including tax.
I have a lot of butter in the freezer and fridge. Will be making more ghee. Ghee is shelf stable at room temp forever! And tastes great. It is also great for frying. Also popcorn.
I really like your approach to prepping. I've been prepping for some time and have decided to give myself a challenge! I have holes in some areas. My challenge is to take 5 dollars a week to supplement my preps. I'll let you know what I get after 4 weeks!
Great additions to your pantry, and I love your cherry print apron.
Hi Susan, that apron is one of my favorites. I just love aprons! What shelf stable item struck you most in this video?
@@homemakingwithdenise I love aprons, too, and have a bunch. The item that struck me the most was the brand of the chick peas you bought, because I just bought 6 of those same kinds yesterday. We keep a 2 year pantry, and when inventorying I saw I was low on those and kidney beans. It's good you bought the powdered eggs and the milk, and I know you have the cartoned shelf stabled milk, too. My cousin has a dairy farm, and the grow wheat, and we have chickens, so milk, eggs, chicken, and flour aren't something I need to store. It's been fun watching your pantry grow!
Looks great! I think the garbage bags are the most interesting item to stock up on...I'm definitely going to do the same. By the way, love your kitchen! It's the real deal...not some sterile, white, on trend boring mess. I love "homey" homes...
True lemon is a great drink option for no aspertame
ghee is sold at Costco and shelf stable
black garlic is high in nutrition/yummy and shelf stable !
Shredded cheese freezes great…..may I suggest you try home canning…..water bath and pressure canning…..can your own fruits and veggies….meats…..jams….sauces….such a money saver and you know exactly what’s in your food….loved your video….
Those small hams are very good! I don’t buy spam so I grab the hams! 👍🏻
One of my favorite pot luck dishes is meatballs or little smoky sausages with Sweet baby Rays and a can of jelly type cranberry sauce.
Tell me how that cranberry sauce and Sweet Baby Rays works?. I’m interested.
You can make your own meatballs or buy them frozen. If frozen I take them out of the freezer and let them thaw or micro thaw them and place them in the crock pot. In a large bowl empty the 1 can of cranberry sauce and add one bottle of the regular Sweet baby Ray's. Mix well. Pour over meatballs and cook on low 3 to four hours. Time depends on your crock pot, they are not all the same. Quick and easy prep...Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, these were always a hit at church dinners and such and I never had leftovers.@@homemakingwithdenise
I love Cheri!
I love Juicy Juice. I drink the mango and the tangerine/orange then use the bottles for rice and dried beans.
The Velveeta is a great idea.
Thanks for the info!
I have never seen powdered eggs sold like this. Will be ordering some. Great ideas.
Loved your vid and all the advice. I have been prepping since we were married in 1961. My mom did it so it is what I grew up with. She was a farm girl so they always did it at home, too.
Couple of comments. I would store the opened raisins in jars with a tight lid. Keep them in their inner bags or in plastic bags to separate types of raisins. They will keep fresher. Not only powdered eggs but powdered egg whites are good to have on the shelf, too. We get them in bulk at the Miller's General Store, an Amish store in rural Independence, Iowa. I use them in baking when I am running low on eggs. Don't keep carbonated beverages on your shelves too long. They will loose their fizz. And lastly, use bay leaves in stews and soups as well as to keep weevils out of things. Remove them before serving the soup.
What did I like best? A reminder to have crackers and soups on hand. You are right, when someone is feeling puny, soup and crackers are the things to serve.
Clorox wipes! We haven't been able to get any except through Amazon in months! I live in Arizona. I just discovered your channel and like you, I've been a homemaker for over 45 yrs. I love your channel! You're awesome, dear. 🙂😍
Sandy, when I saw those Clorox wipes just sitting there and that was the only pack, I almost missed it. I couldn't believe what I was seeing then I scooped it right up. I am so glad to get it!
@@homemakingwithdenise It was meant to be! I had a couple of cannisters in my closet. I haven't seen any in stores since the end of February. Clorox (the real stuff) is showing up in a few places.
Bay leaves ? What a great idea. Thank you. Miller's moths are no fun.
I am glad that you included items like mushrooms, barbecue sauce, and butter. Sometimes people get so focused on the basics (beans, rice, canned chicken, etc.) that they forget to get the other things which can make a meal taste really good. It's so important to have pleasing food when we are stressed. I always keep packages of gelatin on hand. Gelatin can be so soothing when somebody isn't feeling well.
Another great video on this topic! The thing I liked the most from your haul (and what I will also be purchasing) is the powder egg and whole milk. 🥰
Hi Jennifer, I've got both of those items linked in the description box. And yes, they were recommended by viewers who are further along on this journey than I am. Did anything else strike your fancy?
Hey Denise, thanks for the great tips for a practical solution to the problems. Try to make Cowboy Coffee. It's very practical & economical plus it tastes great. @ 21:25 about the trash bags, when I was in the Army, one of the things that I learned was to use a used M.R.E. bag to go in & then you'd bury it to hide it & eliminate odors. I found all the items to be interesting. As for the powdered eggs, I would use 2 eggs for every 1 powdered. Thanks for sharing. 😁
New cubbie but I have watched several of your great videos. I have a channel and had been doing makeup videos but in this crazy world it seems like such a waste of time. I really enjoy watching you. I need to start something like this. Your voice is do calming and pleasing to listen to. Keep up the good work and stay safe sweetie.
Very nice haul. Big Lots in my area has a pretty good prices on paper goods. They may not be name brand but the quality is good enough to put back for when the time comes we need our back stock ( we won’t be as picky about brand names we used to use). You are a beautiful and lovely lady, thank you for sharing😊
After viewing your video, I decided to add ginger ale to my secondary pantry. I have bottled and powdered Gatorade. I have bought lots of kitchen and large outdoor trash bags because I thought garage pick up might cease. I found out from you that I may need to use them in my toilet.
corned beef hash is delicious! I introduced my husband to it yesterday for the first time. He seemed to enjoy it. if you're stocking up on foods your family may not be familiar with, be sure to cook some of it for them ahead of time. that way if they hate it you know not to waste your money on it. :-)
I’d bought gamma lids for 5gallon buckets but couldn’t figure out how to use them, until I saw you demonstrate. Thank you
I buy blocks of cheese cut up freeze pull out let thaw and it crumbles perfectly no need for shredded cheese unless its on sale. Anytime you can get a product whole all the better, goes for canned foods as well such as tomates pears peaches get them halved less surface the better the products. example whole roast over ground up leaving less exposure to the product contamination..
Hahaha my first experience with corned beef hash was when I was 6 months pregnant with our first and my husband asked me to make some for him. I had horrible morning sickness any way, but smelling that all I could think was “dog food”. To this day, I still cannot bring myself to try it and it still reminds me of that day and how sick I was. But we have a stock pile of it 🤢. Thank you for all of your tips!
My mother use to cook corned beef has all the time. This is a great start to stocking your pantry, tfs
It's amazing the things that word even available during lockdown. I had the hardest time getting powdered milk, tuna, canned chicken and I still have been able to get instant potatoes . There's a special kind I get at Walmart and they're very good so it's good to stock up. Remember even though it says flushable wipes their very very bad for the environment so if you use them I do not recommend you flushing them. They get caught in drain pipes under the city and caused a terrible mess. Don't forget to build up your spices also . Granulated garlic dehydrated onion is another thing that's important for us . Things like that . Be sure you also have a battery operated radio . Be sure you have one of your cell phones charged at all times . Even though it might be an old one that you don't use if it's charged you can still call 911 Thank you for sharing
Side note, I store my honey in glass jars only! It keeps better. Even if I get in a plastic container I transfer it to glass.
