AG, I actually clapped when you said you had lived long enough and were going to buy what you like! I feel exactly the same way. And I don’t care for generic Mac & cheese either. I have filled every nook and cranny in my apartment with my food preps. I was lucky enough to have a second coat closet in the apartment, and it is full of all things food. I also have prepped cleaning supplies, laundry detergent and ziplock storage bags. I have 4 bins full of food that I need to make a written inventory of. I so enjoy your videos!
I have made it a rule that no matter how short the trip, I will never leave without some form of protein, be it a can of corned beef, tuna or other fish, or even beans, or dried beans and lentils, no matter what. I have picked up every kind of vegetable, especially if it is something a little extra special that I think we would like, (this is after I am really stocked on basics.) I can't think of anything worse, (after starving), than having food fatigue. I also have put away instant pudding mix if I have someone young here and they need fortification and to cover-up the perhaps less palatable milk, (dried or boxed). I have laid in jello-type dessert boxes in case someone becomes ill and needs to be on a liquid diet for a short time, (hopefully a short time.) I have a sports drink in bottles and mix for that reason, as well, along with some Pedialyte-type bottles. I actually prefer the pint jars because I learned to pressure can to have lots of meat on hand and one pint of meat should be able to stretch, and we can always open more than one.
Great system. I like to have cans of diced tomatoes and Classico Spaghetti Sauce and of course pasta on hand. I assume I'll always be able to find a way to minimally cook. You've given me the idea of adding a can of chili to my car's emergency set up, it's perfect.
For those who are not opposed to cooking, I LOVE Chef John from Food Wishes here on You Tube. He's funny, gives excellent training. His recipes are outstanding. Check out his Lentil Gumbo and apple crisp for starters. When you make his recipes you will eat and love what you make. Left overs are as wonderful as the day you make it. If you take it to a pot luck people will love what you make. I also LOVE his asparagus soup and plan to give it a try with canned asparagus. I print many if his recipes just in case the internet goes down. I shop based on his recipes. Thankfully are local Farmers Market is now going to go year. round.
@@sophiawish9772Yes, especially if you put your cheese in Foodsaver bags. I found several 8oz blocks of various types of cheese at the very bottom of my chest freezer. At first l assumed they’d be freezer-burned, however, I’d taken the few extra minutes to freeze them in their original packages, then placing each block of cheese into a Foodsaver bag, vacuum sealing each one. Whoo Hoo! No freezer burn!!
Went to Walmart today to get odds and ends. Shelves in our Walmart in central pa and even the local grocery chain have a number of large empty spaces throughout the stores. Green mountain coffees, cottage cheeses, etc. Plus prices are going up, seems like weekly. Stock up while you can, never know whats going to come. Knowing your prepared as best as you can is a good feeling. Living in Alaska I'm sure is a lot tougher in winter than where we are. But you never know.
My kids love oranges so I stock up on the great value canned mandarin oranges. They're full of vitamin c and such a nice sweet treat! One can is enough for all 3 kids so I grab 24-48 cans for winter. Typical usage is a few a week when we can't get fresh or don't want to spend the $$
Add some cornmeal to your waffle mix for cornmeal waffles. Top with a can of the chili, add cheese or whatever you like/have on hand. Add a can of mixed vegetables and some type of rice/ pasta to the tomato soup. It makes it taste different and serves more people.
@@ultramagapatriot5874 I freeze the bag for 4 days, let it sit st room temp for a few days to prevent condensation and then vacuum seal the bag. I only store what I'll use in a year (about 25 lbs) and I'm sure it could be stored longer. I also put the sealed bags in buckets with lids. I've also vacuum sealed it in half gallon jars for a year.
I have poor soil and not much I can do to change that right now. I have stocked up on dry good and water jugs and filters. A means to start a fire and cook or heat. If I only had something to end this government.
That is a pretty good stock up haul. I keep extra cans of cream of chicken on hand, to go with the cans of chicken. I am trying to use up my egg noodles and make a dinner with the cream of chicken and canned chicken. I will be so glad when I can get things more organized, so I can see where I need to fill the gaps.
@@cogit8able I haven't heard of making a roux like this. I really need to learn how to, though. I'm always up to the challenge of trying something new and different.
Blessings AG from Chicago. I'm dehydrating, vacuum sealing, canning and pickling my farmers market's hauls. I don't need to walk into a brick and moter store for much. I mainly shop for dairy, mushrooms meats. Thanks for all that you do. Be safe and blessed.❤❤
I buy a lot of food I personally don't like to eat if they are on sale but thank goodness I have a large family with diverse tastes and they are always happy to get them. If SHTF happens I'll be able to help them.
Funny, I try to eat low carb for helping with arthritis & buy the expensive keto syrups But I have to add a touch of that syrup I grew up on to free the caving. Great for touch of dipping sauce. When I explained to family why I have 12 cans of corn in my pantry they are wooh I never thought of only 1 can a month & so I told them if they want Mexican cornbread they better have 12 cans of creamed corn bc I have no room. It made them aware of the issue.😊 edit to add, in rv to take care of G kids & if I was home I'd be better even tho those sentiment memories things AG were talking about stalls me a little.

Hi AG. Great shopping list of these things. Perfect. Thanks for some new ideas. I want to try to find the dried banana chips. Those sound good to me. 😊
Great video, AG! I love when you share tips on what to pair with certain prep foods. Not that I can't think of any myself, but it's nice to get more ideas than what I can come up with. Your videos are greatly appreciated! TFS!
You can train a dog to eat anything. You have to starve them. Same thing with fish and all animals. They WILL eat the food you buy if you train them to eat it through starvation first. Dogs will eat there dead owner when the person dies in the house before the dog lets themselves starve to death. If a dog will eat a dead decaying body it used to love it WILL eat ANY dog food....
Excellent video! I continue to look forward to the recipes you will be using when you cycle through your pantry. The ones you have shown us so far have been excellent - you are very creative with your recipes. Thanks for sharing.
I have already been stocking up for years now. That’s how my Mother and Father taught us when we were growing up. I have almost everything stocked up in my pantry that you mentioned in your video. I use the canned chicken for cooking all of the time and for chicken salad. I buy the canned chicken at Sam’s club several times a month. I’ve been getting 2 or more cases of canned food every week for several months now in addition to the other things I stock up on. Great video and great information. I always have several gallons of vinegar on hand. My Mother used vinegar for cleaning everything.
The garden was a real disappointment this year with the heat here in Texas. Only spring crops this year as nearly everything else burned up, so stocking up is very important this year!
I keep telling my friends in the south to plant a fall garden with the things that you would have grown this summer. You may find that it works better for you.
@@AlaskaGranny i grew mine in pots they didnt grow 1 plant 1or 2 tomatoes when i was in a house and bushes near it and shade and some sun it was a better and tasted better and yellow tomatoes they were okay
@@user-rf1zf5jb9c Absolutely because I am in MI and the squash plants didn't really produce this summer but now I have 11 squash growing right now and we're currently in the 60's. We will warm back up to 80 this week though. I will definitely start growing fall squash from now on.
Great video as usual! I like to buy items that can be used for several recipes. I like bear Creek broccoli cheese powder soup mix. It can be used with rice to make a side dish or add rice and chicken for a casserole meal. The soup mix can also be prepared and used to top a baked potato.
Mixed vegetables, v8 juice, dehydrated chopped garlic and onion, oregano and black pepper. Heat on stove or microwave. Delicious and quick vegetable soup.
I enjoyed this video and thank you. Walmart, is not a store, that I shop often, but I guess, I need to, for I always get great stuff with reasonable prices. Thanks again for sharing. 👍🙏❤️✨🌟🧡🍁🍂💫🌻
Yes, liked the video and sharing it 👍👍🙏🙏 definitely making lists and checking them twice or MORE! To prevent starving I've put together the most basic food( porridge) and water to stretch out the food. It's affordable and easy.
Steve Poplar mentioned you this morning. Said you are great. I trust him 100%, so I rushed over here to subscribe. Can't wait to start checking out your channel this evening! Best wishes from sunny Central Mexico. 🇲🇽
Our church is always collecting food items so my pantry is a great place to shop for the collection. I only purchase toilet paper and personal items to add to the collection. Great haul AG....always enjoy watching you and learning from you!!!!
The Augason Farms banana chips are really good. I wait until they go on sale for $9 / #10 can. Great on oatmeal, popcorn and as a snack by themselves. It is also possible to use them in puddings and pies, as they rehydrate. Great source of energy and some potassium.
Thanks for a great video! I have prepared the mac n cheese, add a drained can of chicken and a drained can of mixed vegetables. It was a great quick meal years ago when I was working and had to get the kids a meal on the table. And it was relatively cheap. We still eat it sometimes and enjoy it.
If you put the fan on the dashboard of your car close all windows and in a couple of hours it will be warm enough to eat. Use to do it every day for lunch Only 1 microwave in the whole plant I worked at.
I have noticed that the cans are containing less and less food in them. I made a big pot of chili this weekend and there was not nearly enough beans from 5 cans which is 2 cans more than I normally use. I should have just made my own, but this was a last minute decision so I used canned. I also figured that it would be good to work threw some of the cans, but had I realized how many it would actually take, I would have planned better.
We like the Bear Creek dried creamy potato soup. It has dehydrated potato's in it (I sometimes boil real potato's, drain, and add them in the last 10 minutes, to bulk it up), you only add water and it's done within about a half hour. They have a variety of soups, but I haven't tried them yet. We also like the Keystone meats, which have a 5 year shelf life. I buy the roast beef (make hot beef sandwiches, use it over mashed potato's, or egg noodles, and sometimes add sour cream and mushroom's to make it more like stroganoff). I buy the chicken (good for wraps and casseroles), the ground beef (for tacos, burritos, and hamburg gravy), and the shredded pork (for sloppy joes). I also keep an inventory, of all household goods, along with the food, so It's easy to see what I need, at any given time.
Thanks. Always good to keep reminding people, don’t buy what you won’t eat, makes sense. A good point how you explain how to do a quick calculation about how many cans you would eat based on how often you eat them. Hearing reports of bad harvests for wheat, corn and potatoes so think of each of what you eat based those grains - such as cornmeal, even corn starch for products from corn; flour, pasta and others for wheat and dried and canned potatoes. Our grocery store stopped carrying canned turkey so don’t know if this can mean a Turkey shortage too! Thanks again AG!
Excellent haul there AG.👍 We're all good for Tins, but do need to stash a few more Household/Toiletry items for the Winter. TFS AG, take care, keep really busy, & Happy Sunday everyone. ❤🙂🐶
Our area seems stocked but when you really start putting it in an order somewhere you find there are lots of shortages or huge price increase. About fifteen weeks till the end of the year and I'm trying to fill in gaps for the holidays. Baking and main dishes. Canned fish and canned tomatoes
Canned sausage gravy is good to have in your pantry. You can heat it and serve over toast or hash browns or freshly baked and split open Southern biscuits for a hearty breakfast or even put it over cooked white rice and top with a fried egg for a high calorie and thrifty lunch or dinner. I would add some cans of baked beans and Spam and a canister of dried onions flakes and a bottle of BBQ sauce so I could make loaded baked beans. Just dice and brown the Spam, stir it into the beans along with some onion flakes and some BBQ sauce (and maybe a little ballpark mustard) and bake at 350" F in a casserole dish until the top is browned and crusty. This is a high-calorie dish for cold winter days that even finicky toddlers will like. Canned yams/sweet potatoes and canned plain pumpkin puree are also good to have in the pantry. In addition to making a baked candied yam dish for the holidays, the yams/sweet potatoes and their sweetened liquid can be pureed in a blender and added to muffin batter or pancake batter. The pumpkin puree can also be added to batters too or used to make a thick winter soup. For those with a bread machine, it is good to store pizza dough mixes in the freezer and then use the bread machine just on the dough cycle so you will have risen dough to make homemade pizza in your oven. Canned tomato sauce, dried Italian herbs, garlic powder, shredded mozzarella cheese from the freezer and some diced Spam make good pizza toppings when you are snowed in and cannot get to the supermarket or have a pizza delivered.
I find that if I don't overbuy, but I pick up one or two things extra for pantry it really does help the grocery bill at the end of the week, you know? Very realistic pantry video here, thank you :)
"Somehow I ended up with..." How often I've said this to myself. 😁 Very nice haul. I get most of my canned foods from walmart, so this was very useful. I stopped using milk and butter in the Kraft mac & cheese years ago. It's been fine. I have a question - I'm going to move out of state next spring. Would you try to eat through your pantry so there is less to move or continue to replenish as needed because prices are so unstable? Who knows what they will be like next spring and how easy/expensive it might be to restock my pantry after the move. Thanks.
@@AlaskaGranny Thanks. When I moved here, my employer paid for everything. Now that I'm retired, I'm gonna have to slog this stuff on my own. When a church friend moved a few years ago. she told me that the movers said they'd never seen so much food - and she was a single, older, lady! We're LDS, so I'm sure there was a ton. It can add up, single or not.
@@femvetusa5263 I think costs are about the same. My son lives there now and I've looked at cost of living calculators and ads from the various stores in the area. There's not much difference.
Those great value Northern Beans I've learned to heat those on the stove real good instead of microwave heating in order to soften them up. I can microwave Lucks brand but the g.v. brand for some reason I have to cook them a few minutes on the stove with some butter but they're still good!
I'm upstate NY and our summer was the same, I had a bunch of trouble with blight and powdery mildew. Oh well, it's made me decide to grow some things differently next yr.
Did you know Wendy’s restaurant has chili and it’s in the stores now Walmart it’s almost $5 a can can you believe it?. I love their chili, but no way was I going to pick that can up.
It appears that it is made with actual beef. The vast majority of "chili's" are made with soy based textured vegetable protein (TVC). Wolf chili is real beef also.
I have given up going to Wendy's. I tried them this summer, and no more. I have been served stale buns, brown salads, and out of biscuits at breakfast.
@@PropheticEvangilticMin 6 oz?? Never seen that before. WM sells the 15oz can... Wendy's Chili With Beans, Canned Chili, 15 oz. (3.5) 3.5 stars out of 247 reviews 247 reviews $4.42
I have the hardest time using canned meat but I know I could if I needed to. When my canned meat gets within a couple month of best by date I like to give it to the food bank because they always need protein and they can't use it after the date. Then I get more for my shelves. Not very frugal but it works for me. I do want to try some of your recipes using canned meat.
My garden here in Texas normally does pretty well but this year everything spring with great great lots of squash lots of tomatoes but then we had 97 days over and the rain I watered everyday but that did not protect them from from 110 and 115 whether we normally have 20 days over over and some rain but not this year I planned on canning pears my tree only produced eight normally it produces hundreds it was a tough year for bugs and heat
Great haul. I love seeing what people find. Thanks for sharing! I am not sure where I need to fill in. You sure have me thinking about it though! I have lots of seasonings, I want to make sure I have nutritious herbs and seasonings, as well as dried vegetables. I go through a lot of mushroom powder and kale (or spinach) powder as I try to boost the nutrition of everything I make. I don't always want a side of greens, but I can incorporate it by using powders. Then other stuff has medicinal properties. Of course we have canned, frozen, dehydrated options too. Our garden wasnt great this year. I am focused on making sure we have what we need next year (seeds, supplies, etc) and having a plan. Trying to figure out what happened, what we could do better, and how to maximize the bounty.
Bought 4 pounds of black beans at Wal-Mart today. Gonna get my plastic buckets and lids scrubbed and start packing dry stuff. Fall always messes with me the minute the summer heat breaks. Its a mad scramble to do all the stuff necessary before its winter.
HELP!!! I overdid it with stocking some flavors of Progresso soup. How long after the expiration date is it safe to still consume? You have provided so many great ideas and recipes... You are such a blessing especially during the height of the pandemic with your tinned meat suggestions. Plus, it isn't just winter where I may not be able to get out of the house to go grocery shopping, this has been a very HOT, humid summer where I simply didn't want to go out. Thanks to you, my prepper pantry and your imaginative recipes came to the rescue. Sincerely appreciated. Seriously, during the beginning of the pandemic there wasn't always meat available in my area and your recommendations of tinned soup containing meat helped tremendously. 😁
Sometimes I think I have too many soups as well. I have a bunch that are a few years out of date, and still fine. I am making a point to use them up now. If it's still hot, try the garden vegetable cold, like gazpacho. That worked for me.
Using apple.sauce or baby food purees for and egg replacement in baked goods is yummy... or think canned pumpkin in the mix with added pumpkin spice for the pumpkin lovers 😋
I keep some foods I can’t eat off to the side… just because I can’t eat it doesn’t mean other people in my group can’t… just tryin to feed the people in my group as much as possible if all else fails we can always barter with it … Id assume
I find Nido milk and the egg replacer at Walmart, and also have ordered it from Amazon. I have also found the egg replacer at Fred Meyer, which is Kroger.

I keep telling my friends in the south to plant a fall garden with the things that you would have grown this summer. You may find that it works better for you.
@@AlaskaGranny i grew mine in pots they didnt grow 1 plant 1or 2 tomatoes when i was in a house and bushes near it and shade and some sun it was a better and tasted better and yellow tomatoes they were okay
@@user-rf1zf5jb9c Absolutely because I am in MI and the squash plants didn't really produce this summer but now I have 11 squash growing right now and we're currently in the 60's. We will warm back up to 80 this week though. I will definitely start growing fall squash from now on.
Good haul, thanks for sharing, God bless !
Great ideas sweetie, thank you 🙂
Great video as usual! I like to buy items that can be used for several recipes. I like bear Creek broccoli cheese powder soup mix. It can be used with rice to make a side dish or add rice and chicken for a casserole meal. The soup mix can also be prepared and used to top a baked potato.
Great video lots of good information.
God bless 🙏 you and yours 😊❤
The mixed vegetable medley is great for homemade soup
Mixed vegetables, v8 juice, dehydrated chopped garlic and onion, oregano and black pepper. Heat on stove or microwave. Delicious and quick vegetable soup.
I enjoyed this video and thank you.
Walmart, is not a store, that I shop often, but I guess, I need to, for I always get great stuff with reasonable prices.
Thanks again for sharing.
👍🙏❤️✨🌟🧡🍁🍂💫🌻
You are so welcome!
AG: Excellent Video ! 🌠🌠🌠🌠
Yes we stock up
Yes I buy a few things every chance I get too even on a odd day I go and see what I'm low on and add to what I have
Yes, liked the video and sharing it 👍👍🙏🙏 definitely making lists and checking them twice or MORE! To prevent starving I've put together the most basic food( porridge) and water to stretch out the food. It's affordable and easy.
One thing I would recommend is stocking up on cans of red grapefruit, always a good/great addition to a hearty breakfast
Steve Poplar mentioned you this morning. Said you are great. I trust him 100%, so I rushed over here to subscribe. Can't wait to start checking out your channel this evening! Best wishes from sunny Central Mexico. 🇲🇽
Awesome! Thank you!
Our church is always collecting food items so my pantry is a great place to shop for the collection. I only purchase toilet paper and personal items to add to the collection. Great haul AG....always enjoy watching you and learning from you!!!!
Fantastic that you donate to your church.
The Augason Farms banana chips are really good. I wait until they go on sale for $9 / #10 can. Great on oatmeal, popcorn and as a snack by themselves. It is also possible to use them in puddings and pies, as they rehydrate. Great source of energy and some potassium.
Glad you enjoy them. I have those in my stash, too.
Great value food has alot of bioengineered ingredients!! Need to watch your labels on everything!
Also, read the labels on Campbell’s soup.
@@marcymoran6481 absolutely!
Bioengineered food is not first choice for many but it's definitely better than having nothing at all in a crisis moment
Thanks for a great video! I have prepared the mac n cheese, add a drained can of chicken and a drained can of mixed vegetables. It was a great quick meal years ago when I was working and had to get the kids a meal on the table. And it was relatively cheap. We still eat it sometimes and enjoy it.
Sounds great! I need to try that.
If you put the fan on the dashboard of your car close all windows and in a couple of hours it will be warm enough to eat. Use to do it every day for lunch Only 1 microwave in the whole plant I worked at.
you gave me a lot of good ideas...thank you!
You are so welcome!
Love all your food tips AG!! Thank you.
You are so welcome!
I have noticed that the cans are containing less and less food in them. I made a big pot of chili this weekend and there was not nearly enough beans from 5 cans which is 2 cans more than I normally use. I should have just made my own, but this was a last minute decision so I used canned. I also figured that it would be good to work threw some of the cans, but had I realized how many it would actually take, I would have planned better.
Interesting, thanks for the lesson.
We like the Bear Creek dried creamy potato soup. It has dehydrated potato's in it (I sometimes boil real potato's, drain, and add them in the last 10 minutes, to bulk it up), you only add water and it's done within about a half hour. They have a variety of soups, but I haven't tried them yet. We also like the Keystone meats, which have a 5 year shelf life. I buy the roast beef (make hot beef sandwiches, use it over mashed potato's, or egg noodles, and sometimes add sour cream and mushroom's to make it more like stroganoff). I buy the chicken (good for wraps and casseroles), the ground beef (for tacos, burritos, and hamburg gravy), and the shredded pork (for sloppy joes). I also keep an inventory, of all household goods, along with the food, so It's easy to see what I need, at any given time.
Thanks. Always good to keep reminding people, don’t buy what you won’t eat, makes sense. A good point how you explain how to do a quick calculation about how many cans you would eat based on how often you eat them. Hearing reports of bad harvests for wheat, corn and potatoes so think of each of what you eat based those grains - such as cornmeal, even corn starch for products from corn; flour, pasta and others for wheat and dried and canned potatoes. Our grocery store stopped carrying canned turkey so don’t know if this can mean a Turkey shortage too! Thanks again AG!
Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment, Joyce. Turkeys are not even available in Alaska except at Thanksgiving.
Excellent haul there AG.👍
We're all good for Tins, but do need to stash a few more Household/Toiletry items for the Winter.
TFS AG, take care, keep really busy, & Happy Sunday everyone. ❤🙂🐶
Thanks, you too!
@@AlaskaGranny 👍🤗❤🙂🐶
I took inventory of my stuff and was amazed at what I had....but I guess it's better than NOT having enough 😊
I too have with food and food grade buckets with my flour, sugar , rice , and pasta,
Our area seems stocked but when you really start putting it in an order somewhere you find there are lots of shortages or huge price increase. About fifteen weeks till the end of the year and I'm trying to fill in gaps for the holidays. Baking and main dishes. Canned fish and canned tomatoes
Thanks for the info!
My favorite chili is Hormel . The price good when it's on sale
Thanks for sharing! And your skin looks great. Alaska, some of the purest nature in the US.
Wow, thank you!
My mother always used bacon drippings up making macaroni and cheese.
Canned sausage gravy is good to have in your pantry. You can heat it and serve over toast or hash browns or freshly baked and split open Southern biscuits for a hearty breakfast or even put it over cooked white rice and top with a fried egg for a high calorie and thrifty lunch or dinner.
I would add some cans of baked beans and Spam and a canister of dried onions flakes and a bottle of BBQ sauce so I could make loaded baked beans. Just dice and brown the Spam, stir it into the beans along with some onion flakes and some BBQ sauce (and maybe a little ballpark mustard) and bake at 350" F in a casserole dish until the top is browned and crusty. This is a high-calorie dish for cold winter days that even finicky toddlers will like.
Canned yams/sweet potatoes and canned plain pumpkin puree are also good to have in the pantry. In addition to making a baked candied yam dish for the holidays, the yams/sweet potatoes and their sweetened liquid can be pureed in a blender and added to muffin batter or pancake batter. The pumpkin puree can also be added to batters too or used to make a thick winter soup.
For those with a bread machine, it is good to store pizza dough mixes in the freezer and then use the bread machine just on the dough cycle so you will have risen dough to make homemade pizza in your oven. Canned tomato sauce, dried Italian herbs, garlic powder, shredded mozzarella cheese from the freezer and some diced Spam make good pizza toppings when you are snowed in and cannot get to the supermarket or have a pizza delivered.
Delicious ideas, thanks for sharing.
I find that if I don't overbuy, but I pick up one or two things extra for pantry it really does help the grocery bill at the end of the week, you know? Very realistic pantry video here, thank you :)
Yes, add a little at a time.
"Somehow I ended up with..." How often I've said this to myself. 😁 Very nice haul. I get most of my canned foods from walmart, so this was very useful. I stopped using milk and butter in the Kraft mac & cheese years ago. It's been fine.
I have a question - I'm going to move out of state next spring. Would you try to eat through your pantry so there is less to move or continue to replenish as needed because prices are so unstable? Who knows what they will be like next spring and how easy/expensive it might be to restock my pantry after the move. Thanks.
Are moving to a state that is less costly? If so, eat thru some of your stack.
Take it with you!! Never leave food behind!!
I would eat through it, and save the grocery money to restock at your new home. Moving tons of belongings is expensive, and exhausting.
@@AlaskaGranny Thanks. When I moved here, my employer paid for everything. Now that I'm retired, I'm gonna have to slog this stuff on my own. When a church friend moved a few years ago. she told me that the movers said they'd never seen so much food - and she was a single, older, lady! We're LDS, so I'm sure there was a ton. It can add up, single or not.
@@femvetusa5263 I think costs are about the same. My son lives there now and I've looked at cost of living calculators and ads from the various stores in the area. There's not much difference.
Those great value Northern Beans I've learned to heat those on the stove real good instead of microwave heating in order to soften them up. I can microwave Lucks brand but the g.v. brand for some reason I have to cook them a few minutes on the stove with some butter but they're still good!
I was raised this way to live.
I'm upstate NY and our summer was the same, I had a bunch of trouble with blight and powdery mildew. Oh well, it's made me decide to grow some things differently next yr.
Thank you, and God bless!🙏
I stock much like you do I also stick sugar flour etc
Good stuff.
Great haul AG
Thank you! 🤗
2 can crock pot Sunday.
Use at least 2 cans from pantry.
Going through my pantry and challenge to meal plan.
Did you know Wendy’s restaurant has chili and it’s in the stores now Walmart it’s almost $5 a can can you believe it?. I love their chili, but no way was I going to pick that can up.
It appears that it is made with actual beef. The vast majority of "chili's" are made with soy based textured vegetable protein (TVC). Wolf chili is real beef also.
I have given up going to Wendy's. I tried them this summer, and no more. I have been served stale buns, brown salads, and out of biscuits at breakfast.
@@AlaskaGranny I've been once in the last 20 years. The burger they gave me had to be at least an hour or more old.
@@zippy2641 but you realize it was only like a 6 ounce can it was very small, so that’s why I didn’t get it…
@@PropheticEvangilticMin 6 oz?? Never seen that before. WM sells the 15oz can...

I have the hardest time using canned meat but I know I could if I needed to. When my canned meat gets within a couple month of best by date I like to give it to the food bank because they always need protein and they can't use it after the date. Then I get more for my shelves. Not very frugal but it works for me. I do want to try some of your recipes using canned meat.
I have teenagers that know how to eat up my canned meat if I don’t my daughter loves chicken pasta salad with canned chicken.
My garden here in Texas normally does pretty well but this year everything spring with great great lots of squash lots of tomatoes but then we had 97 days over and the rain I watered everyday but that did not protect them from from 110 and 115 whether we normally have 20 days over over and some rain but not this year I planned on canning pears my tree only produced eight normally it produces hundreds it was a tough year for bugs and heat
This summer was frustrating for many gardeners.
I'm new to this channel Pinball talked about you, so here I am. I'm looking forward to seeing more. God bless and stay safe. And
Awesome, thank you.
I'm trying a winter pantry this coming winter. Your video is very helpful. 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
Great haul. I love seeing what people find. Thanks for sharing!
I am not sure where I need to fill in. You sure have me thinking about it though!
I have lots of seasonings, I want to make sure I have nutritious herbs and seasonings, as well as dried vegetables. I go through a lot of mushroom powder and kale (or spinach) powder as I try to boost the nutrition of everything I make. I don't always want a side of greens, but I can incorporate it by using powders. Then other stuff has medicinal properties. Of course we have canned, frozen, dehydrated options too.
Our garden wasnt great this year. I am focused on making sure we have what we need next year (seeds, supplies, etc) and having a plan. Trying to figure out what happened, what we could do better, and how to maximize the bounty.
Great strategies. My garden was pitiful this year, sadly.
Thank you!!
Canned Boston BROWN BREAD! Goes great with everything!
Great video! I stock up on coffee, tea, oatmeal and peanut butter. In addition to the things you have there.
Sounds great!
Bought 4 pounds of black beans at Wal-Mart today. Gonna get my plastic buckets and lids scrubbed and start packing dry stuff. Fall always messes with me the minute the summer heat breaks. Its a mad scramble to do all the stuff necessary before its winter.
Fall messes, yes. I do get dirty!
I am a family of 2, my dog and me, but I still have a pantry.😊
My dog, Teddy, approves.
HELP!!! I overdid it with stocking some flavors of Progresso soup. How long after the expiration date is it safe to still consume? You have provided so many great ideas and recipes... You are such a blessing especially during the height of the pandemic with your tinned meat suggestions. Plus, it isn't just winter where I may not be able to get out of the house to go grocery shopping, this has been a very HOT, humid summer where I simply didn't want to go out. Thanks to you, my prepper pantry and your imaginative recipes came to the rescue. Sincerely appreciated. Seriously, during the beginning of the pandemic there wasn't always meat available in my area and your recommendations of tinned soup containing meat helped tremendously. 😁
Sometimes I think I have too many soups as well. I have a bunch that are a few years out of date, and still fine. I am making a point to use them up now. If it's still hot, try the garden vegetable cold, like gazpacho. That worked for me.
@@AlaskaGranny You're awesome!
I love Kraft Mac & cheese with just the powdered cheese-it’s more tangy!
Using apple.sauce or baby food purees for and egg replacement in baked goods is yummy... or think canned pumpkin in the mix with added pumpkin spice for the pumpkin lovers 😋
Nice ideas. Here is a link to a video I made on egg substitutes. ruclips.net/video/ySQxal-INGU/видео.html
I keep some foods I can’t eat off to the side… just because I can’t eat it doesn’t mean other people in my group can’t… just tryin to feed the people in my group as much as possible if all else fails we can always barter with it … Id assume
Yes, hey kids, want to try beefaroni!!??
Does anyone out there have any info on what Phase 2 if FedNow is? Its scheduled to roll out in Oct.
No I sure don’t. I wasn’t aware that phase 2 would be starting relatively soon. I guess I’m going to have to google it. Thank you for mentioning it.
@cyndajo I'll try to save this post and when I get info from my bank Monday, I'll post it for everyone.
Well done - I am so proud of you 👍💖🏆
Thank you for sharing your video. ☺️
Very nice looking haul you have there AG!! AG how long will cornmeal last for long term storage?
Cornmeal should last 10 years, but I have not stored any that long.
Canned veggies
Your videos are always good. Did you purchased your Nestle Nido and Bobs Red Mill Egg replace from Walmart. Thanks
I find Nido milk and the egg replacer at Walmart, and also have ordered it from Amazon. I have also found the egg replacer at Fred Meyer, which is Kroger.
Always enjoy your videos!
Glad to hear it!
Thx for sharing. 😊
My pleasure 😊
What about showing us prices of your groceries.
Stocking food you don't like is wasteful - of time, money, and space.
😎👍🏻
