Last night I used two cans of black eyed peas to make cowboy caviar. I thought they needed used up since we don’t eat them as a side like I thought we would. Turns out the best by was, um… 2018. 😳 I opened them, rinsed them and they were just fine! Nobody’s the wiser. What happens in the kitchen stays in the kitchen!😆
Woot!!!💃🏼👏
Haha!!! 👍😁
Thanks for reminding people many foods are fine past the dates stamped. I freak out every time I see a “Pantry Makeover” where perfectly fine food is trashed.
@KAMLANDER I AGREE!
I volunteer at several food pantries - accepted practice is non-perishable foods can be distributed up to a year past stamped date (older than that can go to the workers, but not to the public).
@@BasicYTHandle We were told our local food banks would not accept any outdated items. If I have something we’re not going to use, I offer it to neighbors and friends.
I'm slowly building my stock pile and it makes me so happy that i can just go downstairs and "shop my shelves" instead of running to my overpriced grocery store.
👏💃🏼
Agreed! Even just having a few rotating backups of my frequently used canned, frozen, and baking items has made me enjoy cooking and baking so much more, it's so much less stressful! 💙
Absolutely!!

It always surprises me how many people freak out about the "best by" or "sell by" dates. Seriously we never even had these dates until 1970s. And that was strictly a manufacturing choice. Thanks for continuing to educate people on this like Tawra and Jill!
This is crazy! I was just having a conversation with my dad how things in the world just don’t add up anymore. And yes. They want our children
I love your videos.... As a chef it's nice to see that you use the FIFO system.... like we do in industry 😊 ....
U r amazing I have been stocking up over a yr also It gives u a great feeling to be able to feed ur family no matter what. DI IN CO
I have a (small/large in most people's standards) grocery store in my basement. Including 3 freezers full of meat that is vacuumed sealed!
Love your channel!
My husband and I are set when this administration tanks our country.
Great video. I live in a small town with small town stores so when I go to the "big town", I stock up. I had a dr. appointment yesterday so made my list. I got so many good deals. I always make my appointments early so I can shop early. I got salad mixes, canned veggies, meats, all at great prices. I am working on freezer meals and prepping and freezing my veggies as I watch you and like minded you tubers. Thanks for everything!
Hola Chica ~ contrary to popular belief canned goods if not dented or swollen can last up to 50 years there's a documentary i can't remember the name but yeah they ate the food and says it just tasted slightly blander than freshly canned BUT i wouldn't recommend keeping it that long lol.
Get ready to stock! Cinco de Mayo: salsa, tortillas, chips, refried beans all on sale
Memorial Day: hot dogs, hamburgers, buns, chips, baked beans, condiments
Alaskan prepper did a video on tasting expired cans - chicken, tuna, maybe beef. I believe they were a year past expiry date and he said they all tasted perfect
I believe it.
We never even had these expiration dates on things when we were born lol people need to calm down 😂😊
“Why doesn’t your husband help?” Haha! I was like no way! My husband would just throw it all on the shelf.. he would not take the time to actually shift things… I even can’t keep up with it so as I buy new stuff it’s on the basement floor till I can go through and organize it all… every couple weeks
That’s what I do too. My husband carries it downstairs. Then I go down there every couple of weeks and put everything away in the proper spot.
My husband says what's the diff.? And I can't do it anymore, had a stroke. But he tries...
I ordered the price book and can't wait to get it. Can you do a video about using it to it's best advantage?
hey there, I am not a mom...but man do i love watching these so prepare me for my future shopping and cooking, thank you!
Husbands would just place the new cans to the front, and say they did it right 🤣🤣
You don't look old enough to have two kid's gone WOW, I'm 53 and my daughter is 23, and my son is 19, and I don't think they will ever move out. 😊.
I had tofu that had expired in January, opened it, it taste fine, smelled fine. I used it for my hot and sour soup and survived.
I would never find stuff iff my husband or children put things away. I have a certain way I like things, so I do it.
I haven’t watched you for ages and did today. I was surprised how different you are. You are definitely more outgoing but I loved the old you 😢
Tried a new thing. Cut romain in wide chunks and use it for chips. Great with ranch and salsa or a vinegret. Though I would share. Great video. God Bless
I had 5 bags of american beauty pasta that were brand new & each on had bugs in them & the dates where end of 2023 & beg to mid 2024. Thanks for this info-time to inventory the pantry & go shopping
That green top looks so striking with your blue eyes! I'm jealous!
Thank you!
Thanks for the grocery stock tips! I like having a stock pile. Ours is not very much because we tend to eat out a lot but my husband and I have realized that cooking at home is waaay cheaper and I know it is healthier too. Our daughter had a school project to do and had to use elbow noodles. I told her I had some extra in the basement stock. So she took that. Easter Sunday I was going to make homemade Mac and cheese and I forgot to replace those noodles she took! Oh, no but we ened having plenty of food and it didn't get missed. Lol
Thank you so much for this video so many people panic and throw away. Good food and I have a very good friend who is having this argument with her house mate now so thank you so much for clearing that up.
Glad I could help!
You are so inspirational and encouraging and if people go back in your videos they will see you always encourage the small steps to get to a pantry similar to yours, it takes time, discipline and dedication to build a pantry like yours and you are so graceful and informative! We have a mini prepper pantry (about 6 months worth) more due to the size of our home and lack of space; our garage is detached and not heated so we can’t put canned food or liquids there (live in CO where we can get into -10 to +15 F degrees during the winter) though we do keep our bulk dry goods like flours, sugar, potato flakes, oats and other grains are stored in vacuum sealed bags and 10gal buckets. My adult children call me “weird” when it comes to how I store my items but they know exactly where to go for items when we are all together and cooking together as this has been my method since they were babies, I do it by categories: Mexican, Asian, Italian, French and General- this way, when I know we are going to make stir fry, myself or my husband goes to the pantry and is able to get every item we need in one stop to make the dish instead of doing the hunt and grab method, same in our freezers and fridges. The general is basic canned veggies, soups, broths, condiments, pickles, bulk herbs and spices (I keep the small spice jars in the kitchen and just refill from the bulk containers), other seasonings, avocado and olive oils, ghee, etc (still separated and categorized🤷♀️). After struggling in the early years of our marriage, I learned to keep a well stocked pantry and freezer, even if that meant we didn’t go out every weekend or splurge “because we deserve it” until we had at least 3 months of shelf stable items and freezer foods, so when things would get tight financially or the weather kept us home for days at a time, we had always had food readily at hand and if we have learned anything since 2020 to present, items are harder to get so stocking up when you can is vital.
🌷Such a great explanation on expiration dates and rotations. Thank you!
I just tallied up my stock and we have a 9mth food pantry.
I LOVE the “idea” of a prepped pantry - but aside from not having the space - and being in a rental - we just don’t use that many canned items. I ALWAYS have canned tomatoes, coconut milk and kidney beans - but other than that I guess I just don’t cook enough variety? 😂 I have a “stockpile calculator” though. Basically it is a table where I list the cheapest per amount something is and if I see it cheaper I stock up on that - but only for stuff that I regularly buy like dishwashing tablets, toilet paper and the aforementioned cans. (And beauty supplies I guess?) lol. Anyways. I admire the space and as always am in awe of your efforts. Go you.
Not using canned/package items doesnt mean no variety. If you cook most of your food fresh and from scratch
Love your videos Kim, I giggled when you found an empty box of cracker, it’s just my hubs and I and he does this all the time. Thank you for all the great tips!
Every house, I swear.
Thank you for this video! Cannot wait to watch when the baby is napping 😴 so educational! Blessings to you and yours! ☀️
Thank you Martha. I’m so glad you’re here.
Great information!! Thank you
I loves your well stocked pantry
great video Kimmy, i too am building my stockpile which is better for me and preparing more as i am going to hospital soon for radiotherapy. love to all xxx
If you take bought frozen veges out of their original pkg and transfer to a food saver bag they will last longer and not develop frost inside their bag.
Thankyou for sharing you and living on a dime you really showed me how to save❤
So glad I can help Janet!❤️
Perspectively, I have a grown son who is 30 & with inflation likes it’s been and increasing… from time to time he will shop my shelves.
My youngest being 15, I still shop hard and keep my pantry fresh with circulating old and stocking the new.
All great concerns & questions.
Your hair is so pretty Kimmie. Thank you for the video. Very informative.
Thank you so much!
Just a thought. You can dehydrate fruits and veggies that have been canned. Then if you vacuum pack the dehydrated foods they'll pretty much last forever ☺️
Ty for all your helpful advice.
i have only 1 adult child left at home and i still shop that way we have rarely lost a thing canned goods if i am in need of 1 can i buy a whole case so i have extra for the next time i get down to the last few cans i buy another case its just smart shopping i always have enoughto get me to the next great sale!!!
Blessings from Chicago. I live in a very warm apartment. I found 2 bulging cans of fruit on my fruit racks. They were bbd 24. Some times the tempertures in your pantry or living space may not agree with your food storage. Some cans may be damages.
Have been watching lots of your older videos over past few days. Looking forward to this one 😊
Thank you.
When I first got married I did case lot sell the year that we were getting an it help us out now I do it every year. I love having a grocery store in my basement but I don't haul anything heavy down stairs with out my husband help it just to heavy. Last year we grow our own popcorn an it was so yummy.
Great ideas ❤
About the canned goods, I will agree in most aspects however, I do know that our green beans turned kind of tasteless in the matter what we did, we could not taste anything green bean wise after about two years past their best by date another thing is tomato products and tomato sauce can go bad faster than what many people think. We had some spaghetti sauce in our basement. They were just the jars that you buy at Aldie and after six months or so we opened a few of the jars and there was mold inside the spaghetti sauce so I would suggest that acidic products like that you probably eat by the best by date, or shortly after same thing with fruits as well.
Love your videos! I always come away with great tips and helpful ideas for my family!
Thanks Kim another great video, I love to dip sugar snap peas in ranch, and I absolutely love sliced carrots in garlic hummus❤. Yum.
So excited for a new upload!🎉 Love that shade of green..looks great on you!💚
Thank you! I love wearing green.
I get that 2 of your children have flown the nest but I'm in my late 30s and my Mum still buys food items and gives some to me for my home and vice versa. I'm sure when your daughter visits she goes back home with a few items hehe
Yes we encourage them to “shop”
Love your channel! I don't know what it is about having 10# (or more!) of butter in the freezer that makes me feel like everything is going to be okay, lol.
Me too!
I figure it will last until Thanksgiving
Hi Kimmy. Where can you find case lot sales? Which stores and or what time of the year? Are the sales seasonal? You are such a Blessing to homemakers. You are such a wealth of valuable info. Thank you
I worked in food. It's not just about nutrition, there's also the microbial side. You can't see where a can may be compromised. Be careful.
Holy crap…. Five pieces of chicken breasts here in Ontario, Canada would cost us 22 bucks and then 13% tax on top of that. 1lb of butter is 6-7 bucks unless you stock up when it miraculously goes down to 4.99. I know your dollar is valued more but wow those prices are good. You are my go-to gal for how to save when shopping, even here in 🇨🇦.
Great video. Costco has great quality products for great prices. We just recently found the sliced turkey breast located in the area where you got the ham. It has been great for sandwiches, a quick gobble for lunch and an easy dinner by warming in turkey gravy with mashed potatoes, a vegetable and cranberry sauce. Is there a written list on the rules of expiration?
Greetings from the North of England 😁, love your chanel and I am trying to prep our pantry for our retirement and general cost of living. I am storing sealed packages of coffee and foods into plastic containers which are not food grade. Is this safe for my packaged foods. Trying to keep them organised and undamaged. Many thanks for any advice.
I just opened a can of powdered milk that is six months mast expired and it is perfectly good!
At 7:19, what is Idolized salt?! I like your food storage methods, I'm working on my own, smaller version.
Ordered the price book!
Enjoy!!! I’m so excited for you!
Love your videos ❤
Thank you Kathy
I love your channel. I do wonder if you have a garden or the space to have a garden?
Kimmy you look great, please share your weight loss journey with us
Only thing I don't keep long past expiration dates is tomato products.
Have you talked about your weight loss at all? I’d really like to hear your story.
People have asked if hubby helps and I say 'no touchy touchy' LOL I know where EVERYTHING is - even if it's kaos LOL
Love watching your videos from Texas!!🙂🙂 ❤❤ Wow Great Food Pantry!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I would really love a copy of your book. Where can I purchase it please.
With all the shenanigans going on in our country, you need to keep stocking because you may get those two kids back plus the spouse.
Just don’t buy cans that are dented and I my rule of them is a year past the expiration date as long as it’s stored properly
Hello, I live in Costa Rica. How long after the expiration date can you use a box of cake mix. I really enjoy your videos and the hauls. So many products that we don’t have here. Prices have gone up so much here. We are paying now 13 dollars for a pound of butter😭
it can last 12 to 18 months.
😳 $13?! That's crazy!
I have baked cake mix one or even 2 years past the best by date and it was fine!
My prep is NOT close to yours! 🥺 There are 2 senior citizens here and I hope, Jesus comes soon! 😊
@Bee Rich Amen! I'm looking forward to His return with much excitement!
Hi Kimmy! 👍🏻❤️☺️
Hi Donna ❤️!!!
Wow, you look so different than the last time I watched your videos. Your voice sounds like you still 😅haha thanks for the info!
Goodness you have more food than some church pantries! Wow!
What about miracle whip or mayo on their date
You need a wheeled cart to move things!! LoL
What about the paper cartons of chicken stock for expiration ? I am one to get nervous about food after expiration dates
I want to do this but just don't have anywhere to put the tins.🥺🥺
On your " weekly Annual planner" I'd like to get one... is there a code for a discount since 4 months are already passed? Thanks
Snag the semester planners. Right now you can get the May-August. 😉
Hi Kim I have been looking for your planner but cant seem to find the link can you help direct me to it pls
shesinherapron.myshopify.com/products/weekly-4-month-planner-may-aug-2023
What about foods that aren't canned goods?
Love your videos I usually dont comment but I have a question how long does peanut butter last? Thank you in advance God Bless
I need a prepper minded organizer in my life to help me lol
Anyone that I know that is willing to help organize/ clean they do not understand the prepper concept
Longtime follower, just wanted to say you look great!!
Thank you
You right kids rudely 😂 decide to grow up love your videos 😊
How do you keep that much lettuce from going bad?
I idolize salt as well.... 😆
How do you store the romaine?
Mississippi chicken sounds good! Recipe??
Crock Pot Mississippi Chicken

I wouldnt blindy fifo the products. Double check the dates of the ones yiu had vs the ones yiu bought new. As often the stores dont fifo properly so it could happen that the new ines yiu buy actually have. Less good date than the ones you still had at home
I recently ordered some number 10 cans of Macaroni from the LDS online store. Do you know if the dented can rule affects dry goods as well as other foods like meats and veggies? I was hoping these could go into my long term storage, but now I'm worried because of the dents. :(
Could you call the manufacturer?
@@melissakalloway1916 I did reach out to the manufacturer. Thank you
Ok Kimmie I love all of your tips but now I need to know how did you lose your weight? How do you eat?
I struggle with the concept of this much food storage. I’ve yet to be convinced that it really saves you money . I think it’s going to have sone extra food in case of emergencies , but I still see all the pantry video people constantly buying more and more food. I think I’m missing something . I used to have a fairly large pantry and lived in a house with a large group of people. We cooked for about 15-20 people per day . But eveb that pantry was smaller than your family one. One time we got an infestation of weevils from 2 25kg sacks of organic flour and it destroyed all the baking products, rice, pasta, sugar. It put me off pantries for life. That and the uneaten gooseberry jam, pickles and chutney. I will store sone canned goods and a small amount of other items. This much food would make me feel stressed. I’d always feel the pressure to use it. And I can save more mobey by not buying things rather than buying things on sale that I might use. Well done to you though for your good pantry.
Kimmie your doing great . Why not stock up if you can ..
Thank you Tonya
Don’t wNt to let bugs get into the bags etc
💜💜💜💜💜
"Why doesn't Derek help you?- NO." Honestly, I completely understand that. It reminds me of when I was recently watching a youtube channel of a handmade candy store, and they said it takes approximately a year or more of training hours to completely train up a new employee in every aspect of the production and packaging and storefront duties.
That's a lot of invested time when you could just do it yourself. Especially for small restocks and reorganization every couple of months. Like, if my spouse was interested in it beyond surface level, I'd be happy to explain and re-explain the system I follow, but that also introduces it's own amount of issues and solutions that involving a whole 'nother person in something always does.
Your Costco haul would be about $300-$400 easily here in Newfoundland. If not more 😢.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
