Remember, you can save the juice from cooking potatoes for mashed potatoes. just cut up a small potato and boil it. The starch in the potato water can be used for yeast starter. Just add a couple of sugar with the potato juice in a jar with a lid. Give it a few hours, and you have yeast for your bread making.
Wow! Thank you for this. Makes SENSE, and I expect that my 90-yr old father and 88-yr old mother - who were young children during WW2, know of this. I didn't. Cheers!
And even if you just use it as is - that is, use the water from boiling the potatoes as the liquid for bread making - it makes a HUGE difference! I read this in a book about Norwegian immigrants, how they would have a traditional potato dish before bread baking day so they would have the cooking water for use in baking. For any baked goods that called for water in the recipe, really. I tried it, and it was such a game changer. The bread is moister (and stays so longer), tastes MUCH better, and keeps better, too. 😊😁
Please how much sugar to liquid.
I add the potato water and leftover mashed potatoes to bread when I make it. Potatoes really help the crumb and texture of the bread, and also add some nutrition as well.
@2Wolfs a couple what of sugar.... tsp?... Tbsp?
My husbands aunt did an experiment. She put a cup of crisco, a cup of lard, and a cup of coconut oil uncovered in her garage. Checked on these a few days later. There were signs that critters and bugs we’re eating the lard and coconut oil. Nothing touched the crisco!!! Showing there is NO food value in crisco. Critters and bugs are smarter than people!
If I remember the history of Crisco correctly, it was first made to create cheap candles!!!
Didn’t the Nazies use it as a lubricant?
@@littlehummingbird1015Notice the candle on the front of the Crisco label?
@@debz3503 No I haven't...I will definitely check on that!
Old cookbooks are a great source of old recipes from depression and WWll eras. Old church cookbooks (especially the rural country church variety) are really good.
Church cookbooks are precious to have for recipes from the ladies in the community plus precious memories ❤
They, also, sometimes have substitutions in them for different ingredients.
Bought more rice and sugar this week. Will be purchasing coffee, chocolate and teas. Planting our new raised garden area. Have prepped salt, wheat berries, popcorn, yeast. We have chickens and I've water glassed several dozen eggs, and have freeze dried eggs. We're pretty good for just the two of us. Our goal is 3yrs of foods, RXs, and household supplies.
Thanks Jinne.
Remember y'all to Pray, Plan, Prep
Hey Y'all fellow Texans. Make sure you add butter and can it up as ghee. We can't be without our butter and biscuits
@@KoniB. got that covered 😋 and sausage for gravy and biscuits
I remember my mother saying they had sugar,coffee,and canned goods. She was in her 20s during ww2
6 months ago the olive oil that I use was $10.99 then a couple of months later it went up to $14.99 and then last week it went up to $19.99. Saw something else we keep on hand go up by $3. Everywhere I look in the store more and more items are rising in price by 30-50% but the government says that inflation is only 3% and the economy is doing well. What a joke!! We only buy what we need each week and our shopping bill use to be under $100 and now its doubled. That's just for the two of us. I cant even imagine what a family of 4 or more are spending.
I think coconut oil keeps longer and may be a little cheaper?
@@annieb8928 We us that also but great idea. I will look into that. Thank you!
Yess..
Same thing here in Philadelphia with the olive oil. EVERYTHING IS GOING UP BY THE WEEK. ITS SAD.
@@annieb8928 love the coconut oil too. Even that has gone up and sometimes I can't find it. Imagine.
Same here Mary! My husband is a trucker stays out 90 days now home 5 we buy every 90 days so we get slapped hard I doubled the size of my already large garden just to help our food budget I also raise layers and my meat chickens we haven’t bought chicken meat for 3 years and I almost fell over when I saw a price of 19.99 for a whole hen! How big families are getting buy now is beyond me it just breaks my heart to think of how families are already suffering why I filled my daughters freezer with chicken meat there is 4 of them with outrageous house payment and they are struggling now if it gets worse I can’t think about it… I begged her to stock her home like no tomorrow with her income tax check DONT go on vacation for crying out loud!
I might have missed it, but cooking oil, maybe butter powder. It was severely rationed during WWII.
butter powder is useless as a fat - it's a byproduct of butter after the fat is removed. It's really just a flavoring. Ghee is a form of butter that can be stored long term with no canning. It can be made easily at home. Do a search for videos.
There is reports out now that seed oils are bad. If you're interested. Some are recommending lard, bacon grease, coconut, olive and avocado oil. That is one of my shortages that I need to work one. I will look into the butter powder.
To the butter powder...Thrive Life
14:43 I would say tinfoil and freezer bags. Nothing worse than not having tinfoil wrap. During the depression, people would clean up foil and reuse it.
My weekend project is going to be dicing up onions, Parsley and carrots and place in the oven on baking sheets to dry out on low heat. Probably 7 hours.
Why spend a dollar for this tiny spice container, when I can dice up a couple of onions and get a large jar full
Shortening! Can't make Whoopi pies without Shortening and powder sugar. Which makes it shelf stable with a little flour. Old Amish recipe.
Save onion skins to make onion soup broth. You can use it to make soup or other meals. It's the cheapest broth you can water bath or pressure can.
I prefer water bath because the texture, flavor and color is amazing.
I got alot of recipes from Europe..especially those during war time when they had no electricity.
They also use 9% vinegar, unlike the American standard which is 5%
Vinegar is another pantry item for cooking and cleaning.
I was lucky enough to find a European market that carries the 9% vinegar. So I don't have to double the recipe. And, it tastes so good. Nothing like American vinegar. Odd.
You can also add shelf stable milk. These dont have a long shelf life but works in the time of need. Also chocolate. Getting expensive. Vinegar and baking soda. Vinegar for so many uses esp canning
I have used the boxed milk from DT 2 years after the expiration date with no problems. Just an FYI.
So have I!
Thanks. Good to know
I've had UHT go lumpy in storage. Powdered is more stable.
I bought close dated cream from the factory. 1 year past date, it was still usable but definitely not the best quality
Yeast in the freezer
Condiment packets. Mayo, mustard, relish, syrup, jellies, etc.
This is a weird thing to stock up on...
Flannel... in the form of old flannel shirts or flannel P.J.s, flannel sheets, just about any kind of flannel item.
I buy old flannel clothing at the local thrift store for about $1 per item in the hot months.
Cut the flannel into baby wipes sized rectangles, stack 2 or 3 together, sew around the outside edges & sew an X through the center. Now you have reusable wipes. These are sold on etsy for a pretty penny... They use the euphemism "family cloths".
Honestly, if TP is unavailable, do you want to be using crumpled up newspaper or would you rather use soft flannel cloth? Yeah, you need to wash them & it's not pleasant. We used cloth diapers as young parents. I don't see any difference. It is what it is. You can use darker colored fabric if the inevitable staining bothers you.
P.S. You can also use old cotton t-shirts. They get softer with age & use. Our thrift store gives away old t-shirts for free when they have an excess amount of donated t-shirts. That's a win-win!
Yep I was very poor back in the day and couldn’t afford to at times but I used t shirt material it caused a lot of anxiety for me and when things got better and they did I always had a big stockpile of tp lol and food I did without that too but it was a valuable lesson bc I learned how to cook from scratch and I learned a lot from some good ole southern ladies ❤❤ and God!!
Thank you for this advice! I have bought some from Etsy and I use them for paper towel usage in the kitchen. Good pt saver.
Thank you for all the advice and foods that last. People should also think of things we take for granted like socks, tee shirts, needles, etc. we’ll need cloth for cleaning, diapers, and tp! Think, people, of all the things you take for granted like soap!
When toilet paper was not to be found. I used asqoirt bottle fron liquid soap filled with water. Works just like one of those bidet .
Cheese cloth cotton dish cloth, Bobby pins, safety pins. Thread and different sizes needles.
Why Bobby pins?
Bobby pins can be used as cotter pins in a pinch!
Hi I have watched some of your videos from time to time. I've never left you a comment but I felt I could just make an input here. I know that most people prepare with food and this is very necessary. However I will like to say when I was younger I remember things like sewing materials needles threads pins fasteners dress patterns pants patterns all type of clothing patterns they're all very important to have raw cloth as well too thanks for your videos may God bless you your supporters and may God bless America❤
About a year ago I bought elastic for both men's and women's underwear. I figured I could use a tshirt to make a pair of underwear if I had to, but would need the elastic for the waistlines/leg holes. I've got a lot of patterns too, but I've also been trying to learn how to use a favorite piece of clothing to make my own pattern, in the event I need to.
@utopicconfecion. Elastic to make undies is a great tip. My elastic supply is so old think I'll get a new supply. Thank you.
My old elastic is as stretched out and saggy as I am 😂. Thinking buying new and suck n seal it. Hmmm, just might work-😊
Save large pickle jars to store beans
You can, always, use ties to hold up the underwear like our ancestors did.
Thanks for the list of the Best War Time Staples and for the encouragement to keep stocking our prepper pantries. We are all in this together and I appreciate being around and conversing with other like-minded people!!
Hi, I'm as like minded as you can get. I'm a retired nurse who lives rurally in Wisconsin. I love it here. Where are you?
One thing that I would add to your list is a collection of cook-books. True, we have our favorite menus that we can put together by rote, but if the internet were to go down for a while, and if I was not able to get the foods that we normally have, I have a collection of cook-books for various cuisines and especially a collection of vegetarian/vegan recipes that help out in a pinch.
I looked up peanut-noodles recently and made a batch of them and I could have eaten myself sick on them because they were SO delicious. The only thing I thought, was what if I knew this recipe 40 years ago? But then I took a step back and realized how pantry friendly this is. Pasta, peanut butter, soy sauce and other oriental sauces plus some kick from sriracha or other spice? Wow. Easy, cheap and delicious. How much better does it get?
Sorghum seeds... (for growing) People who live down south are familiar with the sorghum plant. You can squeeze the canes & cook down the juice for a sweet syrup. You can use the whole seeds for cereal or ground seeds as a flour substitute. (Good pancakes!)
I'd also say to stock up on molasses. It's sweet, nutritious & so much cheaper than maple syrup! Also, you can use molasses to make white granulated sugar into brown sugar.
Love the list! Store the peanut butter upside down, so all the oil doesn’t go to the bottom thus drying out the top layer of the PB.
Oatmeal packets, cereals, granolas, pancake mixes, applesauce cups, fruit cups, boxes and cans of coconut milk, boxed almond milk, parmesan shakers, cocoa powder and hot cocoa packets, marinara/ alfredo/ salsa/ mild sauce/ bbq sauce in glass bottles, canned beef stew, ravioli, fruit/veg powdered capsules, juices- apple, pineapple, V8, cranberry.
Best way to grow the 5 essential herbs during cold weather
I keep single crystal light packets w my water. It’s a nice sweet treat & water gets boring
Crisco was originally produced to lube axils, so if yours goes bad use it to grease a squeaky hinge etc.
A pressure canner. If things get tough, for whatever reason, we'll have to begin eating with the seasons again. This will make self-canning a necessity for whatever Victory garden you can grow.
Add to this mason jars and lids.
When I was little visiting my grandmother back in the 50’s and 60’s our treat was a spoon with peanut butter. We thought it was great. Times have changed.. Thank you so much for this list I always seem to forget something.❤️
Peanut Butter Spoon was a childhood snack
Mustard !! Chest Congestion. Joint Pain. Anti Fungal. Anti Bacterial. Wound Healing. Reduces Blood Pressure. Etc. Etc. IN RE GROCERIES AND ANTIBIOTICS..........MUSTARD protein, fibre.
Thanks, Jinne.
You always give Great Info.
You dont really know how we Appreciate the time you give us.
❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏🇺🇲⚘️🌻
I'm so glad it's helpful, I want everyone to be prepared! 💕🇺🇸
@HomesteadCorner Me Too.
I would hate not to be able to help someone.
I could help a bit.
Coffee was rationed during WW2. Nescafe instant coffee lasts a long time.
yuck. I'd rather drink tea
Agree....instant coffee is a great stock up item!!!
@@girldboro9834 arranged a blind taste testing. Everyone was an avid Starbucks drinker. Nescafe beat out
Starucks, Dunkin Donuts, and McDonalds coffee. It was the unanimous winner. I would suggest you try it again.
Yesss and chocolate too. You can use it to make coffee cakes as well. It tastes good with evaporated can milk. I don't know why that is. And I like it strong. 😅 can't handle muddy water..
You may want to watch Pinball Preparness. Today he was talking about farmers in Maine.
Be aware that if you plan to get through any crisis on stored reserves, and then the crisis lasts longer than your reserves do, you've only delayed a disaster, not evaded it. If you don't have plans in place for how you're going to grow your own food, then in the event of a longer disruption you might be one of the last ones to starve ... but you'll still starve.
You need your own ongoing supply of food and other necessities if you're planning to be one of the households that survive an extended disruption.
VERY TRUE! Chickens will be valuable for their eggs . Every part of the egg is good for you even the shell. If you're allowed to raise roosters and chickens, you can have chicken in the freezer.😊❤
And have a plan to defend your garden because others will help themselves.
Go to thrift stores and auctions for old bed sheets. Can make bandages, or children’s clothes.
Maple syrup and honey
Thank you Jinne for this great information. We can't drop the prepping ball now! 👍
I have as big a garden as I can here. God bless you! Good Lord. Lets get this over with! I've already thrown out stuff that went bad.
My lineage is Central Texas. Both sets of my Grandparents were super poor but they had farm animals and a huge garden. My Maternal Grandmother hustled. She made butter for restaurants. My Fathers people were tenement cotton picker farmers. Tough work. I'm in the country in NW Oklahoma. Lucky I love beans! People laugh at me. I am less and less enthralled with cans. I do nuts and dried fruits. Thank you. And lots and lots of spices!
Thank you for this information. I would like to add, as I know you touched on it, oral hygiene is important. Besides the obvious of tooth brushes and paste, PLEASE make an appointment with your dentist and take care of anything that may need attention. I worked in a dental office during vivid and even emergencies had a hard time getting in due to restrictions. I have also worked in an ophthalmologist office. Again, no time like the present to have an eye exam and get a backup pair of glasses. Keep in mind that an ophthalmologist is a doctor and most insurance companies will cover your exam, at least in my state. Check with the front desk at both dental and ophthalmologist offices.
Keep plenty of honey on hand not only as an alternative sweetener but it has plenty of medicinal properties too
Thank you. Blessings on your day. Psalm 91 over all believers.
Country time drinks, Tang is good.
You can even mix flavors together for a different taste.
Emergen-C or electrolyte powders are similar but healthier.
@@ninnymuggins5159 Great idea. Thanks
Also jam for bread etc
Crackers/biscuits
Muffin and scone mix etc
Flour to make bread pancakes etc
Mix on cooldrinks
Household cleaning items washing powder bleach etc
Personal toiletries inc toothpastes soaps and toilet paper
If you have pets enough pet food
Also in case of water interruptions water can be stored in large sealed containers
Thank you your video was a good reminder of necessary pantry items.
Not necessary items but these will keep my family happy. Unsweetened cocoa powder and Ovaltine. Vanilla,Almond, Lemon extracts.
Hi Jinne, I love this idea, starting out with what was stored during WW2, applying it to today's world, and how to use it. I love dried beans, because they are high in iron and fiber. I have a bunch of different kinds of dried beans and I have canned some of each, because you never know when the power is going to go out and I can just open a jar. Stocking up on sugar and flour is just good sense.
Don't forget you'll need plenty of water to cook those dry beans
@@loriflarson4236 good point Lori. I would think if I found myself in a situation, I'd probably eat canned food before I'd soak my beans. I will can beans if I don't have a full pressure canner when I'm canning meat. I hope to do just that tonight. I'm recovering from a biopsy but I would love to get at that task tonight if I can get it started before my husband catches me!
Jinne, I can't live without coffee, but second to that is butter. I need it for corn bread, muffins, bread, etc. Can up some GHEE! Easy Peasy!!
I love butter also, we can it up and it does great on the shelf.
@@HomesteadCorneru have recipe for that would be good to have thank u😊
KoniB u have recipe if u dont mine giving thank u
Thank you Jinne. Blessings to you and your family.
As for cooking “oil” you can easily render your own lard and tallow. It’s worth the time spent to render your own.
Get single ply cotton baby diapers. Not just for babies- good to strain anything, use as head covering, dusting , folded in triangle makes good sling. Lots is uses
Bandages… my grandma always bandaged us with sheets she had torn into strips. The diapers could be used for that, as well. Or get some sheets!
Hi from Australia …. I was thinking of the protein powder the body builders use and also the protein bars as well just to have on hand long term xxxx
Yes, and collagen powder, too!
protein bars usually have vegetable oil in them so may not last too long.
@@annieb8928what if you freeze it?
Watch out for how much actual protein is in those things and how much carbs, sugar, and other cheap filler. A lot of them are barely better than any other snack bar.
@@tealkerberus748 What brand do you like best? I like Kind Zero bars from Amazon.
📌Baking Soda
📌Apple Cider Vinigar
📌Special Cartons of Milk, designed to be stored in a pantry at room temperature (until opened.)
I had some way past their last sale date, from a year ago, and did not spoil.
📌Distilled Water poured into 3gallon special heavy plastic jugs.
📌Cookies
📌Bags of Chips
📌Cereals
📌Molasses for making baked beans. & barbecue sauces.
📌Olive Oil
📌Coconut Oil
📌Instant Hot Chocolate.
Thanks Jinne
Thank you ❤🇺🇸
Us, Maine'ahs can't grow sugar cane but we can grow sugar beets! You can also get sugar from apples! 😊
And maple syrup too. You can molasses. I remember driving up through south Paris and seeing all the bucket on the trees around this time of the year.
😂😂 Maine 'ahs. Cracked me up.
Pectin in apples or apple juice works like iodide tablets in case nuclear but they are all for the thyroid. Can use vinegar for cleaning even hair.
Great list, thank you, Jinne.
Thank you jinne , that is a darn good list
This is a great list, Jinne! Thank you!❤
Thanks. Have a blessed day/night
Great advice and tips, thanks!
I love your channel. Very peaceful and informative. 😊
Thank you for sharing this great information.
GREAT VIDEO LOTS OF GREAT INFORMATION KEEP UP YOUR GREAT WORK 👍 GOD BLESS 🙏 YOU AND YOURS
Thank you Jinni, I appreciate you and your knowledge. I've learned so much from you these past few years. ❤
Thanks 😊 ❤
Thanks Jinne, great info. I keep a good 6 months worth of Flintstones on the shelf.
Excellent list of must haves Jinne.👍
Definitely Nuts, for the Minerals, especially Magnesium, no one wants cramps.
Sauerkraut has loads of Vitamin C too.
TFS HC, take care & keep really busy everyone. ❤🙂🐶
Yes, I have stocked a lot of instant coffee and some ground. Then I purchased a pour over carafe. Used these wirh our last hurricane. Recently been stocking the little tubes of instant Cafe Bustelo, nice to put in go bag.
💜 THANK YOU. Imports like sugar, chocolate & tea are the 1st to go.
Great video! Oil I know it doesn’t last long but have enough for 6 months!!!
TY
Good video thanks for sharing YAH bless !
Oils, butter, lard etc.
baking soda and powder
and, Creme of Tarter
@@kgrant3184 Is cream of tarter shelf stable? Just wondering.
@@annieb8928 Honestly, I don't know. I just know that other prepper channels that I have watched recommend ALWAYS having baking soda and creme of tarter at home. I "believe", that if you add these two ingredients together, you can make baking powder. It's somewhere in my several binders of notes...
(If I am wrong, it is the reverse. Keep B.P., and Cr. of Tarter, and create B.S. THINK it's the other way, though...) Maybe someone who knows more, can either confirm or correct this. Cheers!
@@kgrant3184yes, cream of tartar and baking soda is substitute for baking powder in baking, and those are shelf stable whereas baking powder is not, it will loss its effecacy over time. I've used it in biscuits and worked fine.
@@annieb8928 Yes, cream of tarter is shelf stable -- keep it in an air-tight container or ziploc bag, cool & dry. I always make my own baking powder so I keep a large supply of baking soda and cream of tarter.
Have barter items for when your supply of something is gone, you can barter for more. Also, I stock up on mosquito spray!
Thx Jinni for another reminder to get. Is it time for you to make a recipe book on things from the pantry ???
Remember “Snackwelts?” The chocolate cookies.. they were sweetened with prunes. I will try that with brownies! Thank you for your channel!❤
Black pepper, cinnamon, a lot of spices are not able to be grown in the US, and are imported. My mom told me she could tell things were getting better after WW2 when more "exotic" spices started appearing again.
Completed the stock up of all the freeze dried dairy products. Whole milk, cream, buttermilk, butter, sour cream, cream cheese, four varieties of cheese, two varieties of cheese for Mac & cheese, eggs. Proteins are next.
I keep chicken and beef bouillon and a good quantity of freeze dried or dehydrated vegetables to easily make soups and stews. Then you can easily add any meat and rice or pasta too.
MI think you hit it all,Jinne. For those who have the time and inclination,I'd add dried eggs and cheese, which can careful be dehydrated at home.Cheese needs to be dehydrated at medium temps, which cotton cloths or paper towels changed at least twice. Eggs need to be dehydrated on low, cooled, whizzed in blender and put in a jar for a day to see is any stick to the bottom or sides. If they do, then place back in the dehydrator and check them again.Vacuum seal them and treat like raw eggs.
Freeze dried or dehydrated Cheese powder and peanut powder too
How about olive oil, bacon grease, and lard for frying/cooking.
Crisco. If it goes bad, you can use it for candles.
Truth
Broth is great for when your sick flue/ cold & such. My parents gave it to us & i have it to my kids
Quinoa, if you like it!
Don't forget flour!
flour will go rancid quite quickly it is better to store wheat, corn, oats, whole and grind it as you need it. Whole grains stored in a vacuum will last for years.
@@anndennis7163 All true, but flour stored properly will last a long time.
I get a couple of cans of fruit on my prep list, but they are all about 1.50 to 3.00. My walmart has had the plastic 4 cups for 1.24 on sale. It's the same weight as a can when you look at it, but it's 4 single servings instead of a can. Those need to be used first of course.
People can easily get something started for 20 dollars. These are excellent tips and advice. Rice and beans take alot of heat and water to make but if you have that and a bunch of beans and rice and seasonings you will not be going hungry. Meats always a plus but basics come first. Even a 12 pack of Ramen is 3.49 now but 12 Ramen go a long way and they are individually wrapped so they can be easy for barter and trade.
Raman doesn't last long term.But a good idea for emergencies. 😊
Good list, thanks😊 FYI on the large cans of Dollar Tree (brand-Aunt --?)cling peaches…. I had 5 cans that were out of date by a couple of years……a couple of them were bulging (lid area) and one was leaking…..Had to toss them in the garbage….. be safe/careful and keep a watchful eye on your canned goods….
Most canned fruit is from CHINA!! I buy jarred peaches at Costco.
Thanks Jinne ❤ I’d add Ghee.
Yes! I did not think of it.I made a lot when butter prices were down 2 years ago.
Can anyone recommend a good off grid cookbook. I have lots of beans, rice, pasta, etc. but I need some creative recipes to use my preps,
I look for old cookbooks in 2nd hand stores.😊
Powdered butter also
Make sure your canned meat isnt pull top. They lose their seal after awhile.
Big container of taco seasoning vs powdered ranch dressing gs. I'm getting g new dentures they are ten years old. Get your teeth and eyes checked out.
Yes! Also keep a pair of old glasses for backup.
When we can beans, they need to be pressure cooked to deactivate the lectins and phytic acid..see Dr. Gundry about processing your dried beans. These types of dried beans can be bought from Jovial and Eden of you don't have a pressure cooker yet.
Grest info. You must have a huge pantry to store all that stuff. Good for you i need a lg pantry. 😂
I've add all kinds of cooking oils high heat ones avocado oil olive oil grapeseed oil. Dried buttermilk powder dried yeast bullion chicken and beef flavors stock these for lots of flavor. I just don't like Al the sodium in them as I have high blood pressure. Great job jinne love your videos. God bless
Work with the space you have. Our first home was much smaller. My hubby opened up an area in our first home that was closed off to make a pantry. It was awesome.
We have food stashed under the bed, behind my recliner and any where I can stash and hide it. It doesn't need to look pretty. ❤
Add seeds to that list.
Also, if not already, start saving your own seeds. So important! There's a good book that is wonderful to help you learn to seed save. It's "Seed to Seed" by Suzanne Ashworth.
@@theIAMofME Yes, this was also recommended by Appalachia's Homestead With Patara
@@ninnymuggins5159 It's a great book. I'm glad to hear she recommended it.
Can you believe how expensive herbal tea has become. I get it off of Amazon because it has a good dollar 50 cheaper than Walmart sometimes even two and three dollars cheaper. I can’t believe how expensive just tea itself has become expensive. Every time I go to the dollar tree and they have their plain black tea I pick it up. Maybe the only thing I have to drink one of these days! I don’t drink coffee except maybe once a week. However for the unprepared that come to my door I will probably give them a cup of tea.because that’s what I have to give without cutting into my own survival foods
Yes, Amazon is a good source for tea.
Sometimes Vitacost is good for teas. They usually offer good codes. When they have a sale and have coupons offered, that's the time to get them at a decent price.
@@theIAMofME I like Vitacost. Just beware when you purchase products though. Their sizes are often smaller than you might find elsewhere. They do have good sales.
Buy loose tea in 1 pound bags. The cost goes way down.
Hi😊😊😊😊😊
Hi Jenni. I so appreciate your videos and your calm way of explaining things. I have been stocking up on dried beans. I've been told by several folks that the shelf life is not that long, as eventually they will not get soft, regardless how long they are soaked and cooked. I've been advised to can all that I have. I'm not so sure that is correct. To have a variety, I've canned some, but I'm curious what you think shelf life would be if I left the dry beans vacuumed sealed and stored in a cool, dark area. Thanks!
I put dried beans in glass jars . When I want to cook them, then I hydrate and go through the process of getting them ready to eat. It takes time.
Most sauces can easily made at home. You can't make Soy Sauce, but you can make most sauces at home. If you buy something a plastic bottle or jar, just transfer it to a glass jar or recycled glass bottle. Thanks for your list. You are right about getting food you like.
There is soy sauce powder too
Ghee for long-term butter.
Oatmeal lasts a long time!
