Brilliant Karen, just like me loves birds custard powder, suet, lentils and your veggies. Great pantry. Bad things coming and we need to be prepared more than ever right now.
You need to get some more of that dehydrated veg, Karen. Farmers have had a bad year this year growing, so we will be importing more at a higher price. Aldi are doing a kilo of frozen veg for 99p, works great in the dehydrator 🙂
I got a billy bookcase in my bedroom and use that for my store 9 shelves of total peace of mind quick and easy to rotate the stock and all neatly hidden by a long coloured net ❤❤
When I was planning my emergency food storage, I went with dry foods packaged for long-term storage -- usually for a 20-year shelf life. So, I chose granulated white cane sugar, rolled oats, plain white rice, dried plain pasta, dehydrated potatoes, wheat grain, dried beans, dried peas and dried lentils for the majority of stored calories. All this food was packaged in either heated sealed Mylar pouches or #10 metal cans plus oxygen absorbers. The advantage of dry foods is that they are not affected by freezing temperatures if there is a power outage during winter. I also kept an inventory of the total number of calories and servings of each category of food and updated those totals each time I added more basic food to my stockpile of emergency food. As I came closer to my goal of 2000 calories per day for each household member for the number of months I wanted to be able to feed my family, I started adding the more interesting items. These were items such as freeze-dried beef, pork, poultry seafood, cheese, coffee and scrambled egg mix. I also started adding powdered nonfat milk, tea bags, dehydrated vegetables and dried fruit -- all packaged for long-term storage. I consider regular canned foods from the grocery store and home canned foods to be fine for a short-term pantry, but they are not items I would want to keep past their "best by" dates. I certainly would not want to try to keep them from freezing during a prolonged winter power outage. And I would not want the added expense of having to rotate/replace those canned goods every 12 months or so. Home canning is great if you have a very productive vegetable garden that will give you enough food to last until the next harvest season and if you have a root cellar to keep that home canned food from freezing in winter.
Suggestion. My eyesight isn’t what it used to be, so I’ve started putting the Best By dates in big black magic marker on the front of grocery foods. It’s helped a lot to keep inventory in rotation.
Looking great! I would add some more dehydrated veggies, some oatmeal , a bottle of honey as it never expires and I not sure if you have enough salt or pepper as I did not see it. You may wish to put the flour in a glass jar same for the rice for storing purposes . Also I would add to your preps , some coffee and tea, cocoa, chocolate for baking if you use it, another bottle of olive oil and would go through your toiletries and cleaning preps as well as toilet paper and pet food supplies . Will be great not to have to go out during a very cold weekend or a stormy one since u have all that u need!
CreamPuff you are right about stocking lots of salt and sugar. Any extra would be great bartering items during hard times. Honey is indeed a forever item to have on hand. I recently learned that garlic added to honey is medicinal for colds and flu.
Two years ago, I began prepping and I've been dedicated to it ever since. My cupboards are now fully stocked. One of the absolute best discoveries I've made is Hormel Roast Beef and Gravy. I just can't get enough of it. The 340-gram tins are perfect for a satisfying meal. I must confess, I often indulge in it straight from the can, even when it's cold, because it's simply that delicious. I've also become fond of the tins of small white potatoes. I cut them up, and air-fry them. So good.
Hormel canned Chili with Beans is my favorite. I also try to grab an extra tin or two of Dinty Moore beef stew (delicious) when I grocery shop. I’m going to look for Hormel Roast Beef and Gravy. Thanks for the tip.
Very nice. Do you have an estimate of how long you think your food storage pantry would feed your household? I liked seeing your own home dehydrated and canned items. I do the same with homegrown garden produce beyond what I'm eating fresh or sale veggies, etc, that I find a good deal on. It's smart to plan ahead because good food storage can help with rising food costs, job layoffs, and unexpected bills where money is needed instead of for groceries.. and many other circumstances beyond a war reducing food imports or a natural event affecting food supplies. Keep up the good work and planning for your household and life.
It looks to be about 1 MONTHS of food, if you were unable to get to store. I would encourage you to store more staples Rice Beans Sugar Salt Flour Dry Milk Olis Lentils On a 1 year stock rotating supply. As long as rotate thru your food it wont go bad or expire an you have a clear safety net.
Wish we could get these big tins of meat here in Oz. Just about disappeared! Only small tins of chicken, med tuna and small range of Spam. Some sm tins of goulash or Irish stew but that is about it! About one or 2 half-filled shelves worth in the supermarket. Dire!!
Wow, quite the variety. I would feel better if you didn't put anything on top of your home canned jars, it can give you a false seal. And the rings should be taken off as well for the same reason. (I just learned that not too long ago.) But yeah, you are set for a long time. Due to allergies, I cannot enjoy most of what you have in cupboards 1 & 2, my whole pantry is more like your home canned cupboard, plus dry beans, oatmeal, barley and rice. Very boring, but it is what it is.
Great pantry! I have tuna and corned beef in my meat section but i think i need to add some of the stewing steak type stuff ( oh yes! I also have ASDA's chicken curry which i can highly reccomend!)
Consider future health. My husband had a heart attack and is doing fine but a lot of diet changes. I just got rid of a number of things in the pantry. Soups mainly. The sodium content just too high. Just tried canned chicken for the first time to discover I hate it. It’s tuna all the way now. Fortunately didn’t buy too much of it. It will be donated. You are stocking up for today and for tomorrow. One reason for a stock pile is illness. It would be a pity to have on hand things advised to avoid in your diet. And make sure you would eat it. I got some chicken in a packet to have on hand in addition to tuna. I tried the chicken and hate it. So glad I will just have tuna on hand, that is palatable to us all. And without mayo. Mayo can be problematic. People should not just buy based on a list thinking they have all the meat category in the cupboard. Buy what you will eat.
To whoever told me she doesn't eat chickpeas a couple videos ago, kiss my ***. You can use the tinned juice from the can for making mayo as an egg substitute.
Thanks for the tip Richard. It makes sense canned chickpea liquid could substitute for an egg in a recipe. Both are very high in protein. Chickpeas are also good right out of the can, drained, rinsed, then tossed with Mayo, parsley, chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, and a splash of balsamic vinegar. I’m stocking up with high protein lentils and chickpeas because I fear that meat/eggs will be hard to find or afford in the near future.

Looks like a great stock of long life stuff. Impressed with your canning!

Thanks for the tip! I have never tried this. Based on your suggestion Im going to buy some. Im on a very limited budget and it’s costly to buy meat.
I've never heard of that beef, which supermarket stocks it?

Great job. I sprout my mung onion alfalfa and broccoli. It only takes a few minutes anay and very cost effective
It looks to be about 1 MONTHS of food, if you were unable to get to store.
I would encourage you to store more staples
Rice
Beans
Sugar
Salt
Flour
Dry Milk
Olis
Lentils
On a 1 year stock rotating supply.
As long as rotate thru your food it wont go bad or expire an you have a clear safety net.
Cupboards looking good. What's the cost of a can of Spam there? Yum jam. Blessings to all ❤

Your cupboards look amazing Karen, well done!
doing the same here in Alabama
My cereals smell a bit off,I think from sunlight,granola nuts etc! Should I have kept in dark press😢
Cereals really only last about a year in their packets. They go rancid quite quickly. Learned this the hard way.
Where did you get your tulip tinned chicken from as I want to buy some ......thanks😊
I got mine from Sainsbury’s
The cupboards look so tidy! Curious how that Butter cooking sauce is? I've seen it, how do you or anyone else here use it.
coffemate got phalm oil in and other junk
Not everyone cares…
So don't buy it for then 🙄
Looks good

A lot of processed in the cupboards cannot eat it with allergies.....
Obviously you'll stock what you eat
@@SirenaSpades YES ........Obviously.

You won't find any lentils or spam in my pantry
be careful with your salt and preservative intake
Would you say this to someone you don't know on the street? Such an odd thing to say to someone you don't know.
