Hi I read on Google news that tesco and other supermarkets aren't going to stock corn flour anymore as they don't sell enough of it it might be worth you getting some in.happy prepping everyone that knows I prep think I'm nuts glad I'm not the only brit that preps xx
You are one of the few preppers I've come across on RUclips with a similar philosophy as my own. Basically I don't stock foods of low nutritional value, nor foods that I know I won't eat! I see so many proudly hauling junk and I'm stunned.
It struck me as funny when you said you get jealous of people with so much basement space downstairs. That’s my house! I was thinking a minute earlier how I felt jealous of you with so much cabinet space upstairs. Good prepping.
Great post, like you have found places to store additional, currently we are up around 35% to buy goods and like others have said, will only rise over the next few years. Have a vacuum sealer so on certain items where they are in paper have sealed them. Live in Ireland, corned beef is around €3.80 a tin (Lidl), so not a very cost-effective item to buy here. Found it interesting, only 319 likes 520 subscribers yet, 7.8k people have watched your post!
just a suggestion... I would stock up on some whole bay leaves... they are good to lay one on each shelf to keep little insect pests (pantry moths or mealy worms) from ruining your food... they really go after flours and pasta... change them out every 6 months... can you get canned chicken? that is good to make soups or chicken and rice. you are doing a great job!! and from one long time prepper (with a basement)... you are using the space you have which is great... so many say..." oh I can't stock all that ... I don't have room"... you are just doing it and that's great! don't forget to store water... this is the 1st video I have watched of yours and decided I would subscribe and follow along with you... thanks for the video ... stay safe and happy... your new subscriber Deb from South Dakota USA
Put those pkgs of food and dog treats that are not in tins into tight buckets or totes. They will attract rodents. And our bagged dog food is in a metal trash can with a tight lid. We got mice from cardboard boxes in our basement. Got rid of those. They live cardboard, they eat it and make nests from it. Stack it to the ceiling. Bad times are coming world wide
Thankyou for the video you have a good stockpile just found your channel and subscribed..... love to find other uk preppers...look forward to the update on your pantry.💖
Hi just subbed ☺️ loving watching this video I just came across by accident well done I would also say try and make sure u can get plastic containers to put rice etc in so u don't get unwanted pests
Just came across your channel and subbed. Great to see another uk prepper. Like you i started at the begining of "Lockdown" I agree with you about Porridge Oats, less cooking during power cuts. and i believe are still edible when soaked for a few hours. in a real emergency. Am now going to work my way through your videos. Good luck.
In the Spanish foods section they have a large container of powdered tomatoes. It is very good and not crazy expensive. It really gives a good taste to soups and all. Well worth the money. Here it is put out by Knorr and is a 32 pounce jar. Quite large.

Every single item in your pantry is the lowest price it will ever be in the future... Each thing will cost much more next year and the years after that. you did a good job, but don't stop stocking up on those foods you like.
Wow you've done so well. We have much less room than you unfortunately but also we are in the UK. I need to stock up more on peanut butter, mayo, tuna and paper plates. Did you have flour? I missed that if you did. Lovely dogs you have. Thank you for the effort you are putting in to help yourself and others.
My flour is out in the freezer room, I get it in 16kg bags from the cash and carry then divide it into smaller bags, freeze it for 48 hours to kill any wildlife then it goes into sealable food grade buckets. The challenge is always space in the Uk I’m really lucky having that cupboard I just need to find somewhere to keep all the junk that used to live in there now 😂
I have a full size basement and that it's where I store most of my food and non-food items but I have two queen size beds that I have bed risers under I have racks on Wheels underneath my daughter uses hers for purses and shoes I have books under mine this might be a suggestion that you could use to find more room for storage or what about one of those plastic see thru racks that hangs over the door people store shoes in but you could use that for shampoos toothpaste Band-Aids small items
Good morning, lovely find and enjoyed watching another English person getting wise. Just a thought and I'm sure you already know but rotate the dates...Subbed and looking forward to more. Love the dog and yellow from Bournemouth 😘
I can't leave any bags of cat food down where my cat can reach it she will chew holes in the bag. I have to put mine in old plastic cat litter buckets or on a high shelf
Well organised preps and good variety, I really enjoyed your video and have subscribed. Love your choc lab ❤ our boy is a blind 10yr old black lab, he also has liver disease so can’t eat dog food or red meat, so we have to prep a LOT for him😍🐟🥦🫐🫑
Beautiful pantry. So organized & tidy. I just found your channel & subscribed also. Love your dogs. Good luck & God bless you in the upcoming depression.
Got to look after the animals first they’re family too and rely on me for their food. If I don’t have dog food I don’t want to have to start feeding them our food but couldn’t see them starve 😊 At the beginning of covid lockdowns the shops emptied of dog food and people were panicking about what to do while I had plenty for our dogs and could even give my daughter food for her dog who’s family too lol
I just happened on your channel! Love the video! I agree with flannels! I got a ton of black flannel squares and then assorted flannels. I then have small spray bottles for cleansing water. I keep 6 months supply of toilet paper, knowing that we are ready if it runs out. Greetings from Bristol, Tennessee!
Excellent information, thanks. Be careful rotating the kallax storage cubes, they become very weak when wrong way up. I learned the hard way. All the best.
Remember those potato flakes can be used as a flour as well. You have stored many of the same things I have put away as well. And you can also use that Nido milk to make butter as well in a pinch. Because it has the milk fats. I have the same. Good choice. I also stored a lot of oatmeal and pancake mix. The lights are great. I have done that as well. Placed battery operated emergency lights around. I purchased 4 bundles of washclothes and buckets with lids. I will put a little scented cleaner in the bucket and place soiled washcloths in there. Till I need to wash them. I am also set up for outdoor washing without electricity. You can store flour in buckets and place Bay Leaves in the bucket to kill weevils or bugs in flour. 3-4 in the bottom 2-3 in middle and 2-3 on top. And place lid on sealed tight.
Mice love uncooked rice and pasta as we found out a few days ago 😮 put into tubs/ jars/ bottles, we were lucky they had only had gotten into our dogs value rice, but now all tubbed/ bottled up. Pilchards are very nice with peppers and onions as a curry.
I used mylar bags and oxygen absorbers for long term use but if you're using for short term use than I believe you're right, tubs, totes, etc., throw a couple of Bay leaves and they are a deterrent to insects, I have used 5 gal buckets from Home Depot and rated for Food Grade, you can also get the buckets from Walmart too, good luck Prepper Friend, we need it
@@keahithefieryone8513 Thanks mate, I have food grade buckets with flour,sugar, and lentils in. It was the value rice the little blighters got into! The 10kg sacks of rice are vac sealed and in wardrobes 🤣 Yes ain’t that the truth! Good luck, love and light to you and yours as well my friend ❤️
Alot of UK items in glass jars, vs here in US in tins & plastic. Never saw hotdogs in a jar. I take boxed noodles & placed in plastic containers. Have found (7) boxes of spaghetti noodles fit into 1 tall containers. Thus openings up more shelf space. Same with macaroni noodles too. Thank you for your video.
Glass jars are the best most environmentally friendly storage for food. When I was young all milk came in glass bottles as did fruit squashes ( cordials) and dark CEA like Heinz tomato ketchup. Over the years most packaging has changed to cheeper lightweight plastics. As a child almost every house in the Uk had milk delivered daily to their door in glass bottles which would be collected the next morning and reused. Shame not all improvements are better than the original
I know where you are coming from with your dog food. I have absolutely loads of cat food, cat litter, cat treats and bin bags. I would much rather my cat is prepped for. We can look after ourselves. Our animals are at our mercy. You have a lovely pepper pantry.
A tip here for great tasting powdered milk is... Add the powder to a pint bottle to the amount recommended. Then add 10% more. Fill with non tap water to the pint mark. ... and SHAKE. GIVE IT A VERY GOOD SHAAAAKE. Then put it in the fridge. If you drink milk normally, you'll be able to pallete this mix as enjoyable as it is. Cereals too. You won't notice if it's all you have. Cheers 🇬🇧
Just found your channel, great prep stores. I don’t have the space for such amounts. Did you buy all in bulk or built it up over time ? I have a limited income too. Love your fur babies. X
It was all built up over time. Unless there’s a special deal when it makes sense to get as much as possible like a couple of years ago I got a 40% discount on dog food so I just bought as much as they would let me. Good luck building your stocks x
I SUBSCRIBED your channel very informative. But please watch things in paper oh my goodness the mice love chewing them to bits!! I put everything in glass jars to keep them away from my preps!! They also love to munch on cardboard unfortunately. Thank you for your video!
Goodness me how many are you feeding lol. We have been stocking up as well. Just buy a little extra every week. Its in a laundry basket in the spare bedroom 🙈 Run out of cupboard space
Hi Carol, my Prepper pantry is for two people and three dogs, it’s not the amount of people as much as the length of time it needs to cover. I also ran out of space but sacrificed that cupboard because future food safety to me was more valuable than the other items I stored in there. X
@@tailsfromabrokenbrain1983 I hope I didnt come across as critical. I meant it lightheartedly. I wish we had the space to do likewise. I cant fill the spare room as my sons often come home to stay. I have just done a top up shop of canned veg etc incase we cant get fresh veg which I believe is predicted. Bought lentils, rice etc as well. Its a nightmare really x
@@CarolandDave not at all but I’m aware people read the comments and I worry that some aren’t planning far enough ahead. Look out for the why I prep video coming soon 😊
@@tailsfromabrokenbrain1983 every week I replace what we have used. My large freezer is full but for the last month I have been buying extra, even loo rolls lol. My hubby is type 1 diabetic so I need to ensure we have a back up plan x

Make sure you are stocking good fats. Ghee, lard, Olive oil. All of those are vanishing quickly from the supply chain due to droughts, and cold weather. You need fat to prevent malnutrition. When storing powder milk, go for fat free. Fats in dried dairy will go rancid.
🥕🌶🥦🧅🌽🎃 Get a DEHYDRATOR, and have fun DEHYDRATING the abundance of seasonal produce. They all shrink considerably, and can be kept in glass jars with a tide lid. Must be completely dehydrated to the brittle crunch stage, like chips. If there is any residual humidity, if it can bend at all, eventually it will go bad and grow mold. Dehydrating is a wonderful way of preserving vegetables and fruit for later, and quite awesome when available space is a problem.

They’re from IKEA I got them years ago so I don’t know if they’re current stock, if not try eBay hope you find some

Too much peanut butter on your stomach will make you nauseous. Just use it sparingly at a time.
