This reminds me of when one of my adult daughters moved to a tornado prone area. I had given her a 72 hour kit for each member of her family, and encouraged her to build on that. She stashed these buckets in her basement along with the Christmas decorations and ice cream maker, and forgot about them until they were taking cover in the basement while tornadoes were swirling around outside. The kids were hungry, so they opened up the buckets and discovered that they couldn’t make use of anything but the banana chips without water. After consuming the banana chips, the kids were thirsty as well as being bored after being closed up for a long time. My daughter called me up later to tell me that the emergency kits I gave her were useless. (Of course it’s my fault 🙄) I suggested that she put some water, a way to heat it up, and maybe some snacks and crayons from the dollar store alongside her emergency food. After that, I was done. I simply can’t prepare for every short sighted person in my life.
That would be my one daughter. Good job for trying!!
You know it’s always our fault. It was up to her to continue to add to what you did for her family no sweat mom you did a great job.
Ouch! Brava for doing your part….may she have learned something valuable.
I really like your statement "I simply can't prepare for every short sighted person in my life."
Well my weekend has been all about apples. Went to a apple picking orchard yesterday. 5 buckets 5 gallons each. Today I have peeled and cored 2 buckets. So far I have 15 pints of cinnamon applesauce. I have apple pie filling waiting to be jarred and canned but both my canners are full at the moment. Also working on apple crisps with half a bucket of those apples. I will pass those out to friends and neighbors. Next weekend my niece is coming over and we'll make more sauce that will go home with her. Teaching the next generation. Am I crazy? Sure, but I supply applesauce for my extended family, so yeah I'm knee deep in apples. And boy oh boy does my house smell great right now!
SOOOO GOOD!!!
Kind of disappointed, I only got 3 quarts and 1 pint of apple pie filling. Maybe I let it cook down a little too much? Next time I'll double it. Oh well. I suppose that pint could be a couple of hand pies(?)
If you keep the peels and cores you can make apple scrap jelly out of the scraps. Add a little apple pie or cider seasoning and it's sooo good!
You go, girl!
@@farmGirl407 that's not going to happen this go around. I'm whipped. I'll save the scraps from next weekend when I'll have help. I still have half of bucket already peeled, cored, and sliced apples plus the juice from all the apples I've done today. That all had to go in my garage refrigerator until tomorrow. I'm just done. I'm no spring chicken anymore and may have bitten off more than I could chew.
Bottle of vinegar water cleans plates. 😊 spray wipe off.
I like paper plates, BUT I LOVE reusable plastic diner baskets and wax paper sheets. Especially in the summer when most meals are some sort of sandwich.
I love these too! I have a bunch from when we used to camp and I kept them when we sold our camper.
Yes! Plastic dinner baskets are under estimated!
We do this too
I found a beautiful copper fondue pot with all the parts at Goodwill for $2.00. Thank you, Lisa!
I found a stainless steel one, but I paid $11 at the thrift store..u got a good deal they do the same thing
We are prepared for winter already have Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas dinner stuff now I'm just buying extra stuff and making my own fire starters
What if you get raptured out? 😂 if it's soon 😊
@@abou8963 the food will be here for other's to eat
@@abou8963 someone will have plenty to eat and I hope they find my recipe book to go with the food supplies lol
@@abou8963Then the list souls are ok. Leave them a Bible and highlight Scriptures. Imo❤
Lol, yes, I have my Holiday dinners in my freezer ‘an if nessicary I’ll propane can or oil fry.
I wish I would have had a plan. I live in NW Iowa and in June we had a national disaster. My basement had 8 feet of water. All my canning jars, all my freezer dried foods, all my freeze dryer supplies and freeze dryer. All my canning supplies etc are totally gone. In 9 minutes it was all gone! Had to throw everything out. Trying to start over. Still trying to recover and rebuild our basement etc. so devastated! And so expensive.
Praying for you and a generous insurance company! That has to be really hard.
Oh Dawn - that’s awful. I’m so sorry.. Unfathomable. Good luck and strength as you recover from this tragedy.
Prayers for you and your family. Hope insurance replaces it all. Sorry it happened.
@@alwaysbeprepared6323 insurance replaced nothing. It sucks.
@dawngrimmius4971 Christmas day 2022 my mother in laws house had smoke damage and was gutted. Insurance never replaced 1 item after tossing 3 biggest dumpsters full. Still trying to get replacement costs covered.
I made a list of monthly pantry staples and as everyone buys groceries for the household. The rule is look at the list and buy two of whatever you buy and check it off. This way nobody buys the same as the other person. It is not a perfect plan but it a start. We were all buying the same thing back around May and that is why we made up the list of all we use and eat. Also everyone is checking on the other supplies in the household and putting together a list for it. Thank you Leisa for your tips. Everyone prep and pray.
You are so blessed ❤ to have the whole family in to prepping.
@@nanakriscasita thank you
Thanks, Leisa! I found a fondue pot! Brand new, in the box, stainless steel, large...$8.00 at the thrift store!!! Every time I think my pantry is in decent shape, I listen to the news and get panicky thinking...maybe not? I appreciate all you do 😊
Wonderful!
@SuttonsDaze me too. I get panic pains when I get scared by the crazy people.
Hi what's a fondue pots purpose if there's no electricity?
Non electric. Buy flamers and store. Now how long does 1 flamer last?
I found a brand new one also in the original packaging. I was so excited.
Lisa I just bought 2. Cases of stewed tomatoes 1 case of fruit cocktail for my pantry
I just bought a box of 500 of those little discs that magically expand into little towels. I finally decided to try them - these are really neat. Yes, I have paper towels and Kleenex in my truck, but now I have a baggie of these. I always have water in the truck in a big juice bottle in case I decide to take a dog or dogs, somewhere, and I always take water for me, so no problem getting them a bit damp. They were just a few cents each.
These are wonderful!
Where did you get them and what are they called. Excellent idea:)
I volunteer once a month at our community's food pantry give away. If there's anything leftover the volunteers can have them . We have no idea what it'll be. I'm getting jars and shelf space ready for this month. I'm really blessed to have a friend let me use her freeze dryer to preserve the extras.
Thanks Leisa
Remember y'all to Pray, Plan, Prep
Love going to Dollar Tree for their shelf stable milk plus I pick up body soap, wooden matches and their cheap batteries each and every time I shop ...which is once a month
@lyraacree4380 Definitely on my list for payday. I've used their shelf stable whole milk in 2020. Not too bad when it is really cold. Use their batteries all the time is my flameless candles. They usually have those long lighters also, so I pick up a few now and then.
Foil wrap, some Ramen soups.
How long has your shelf stable milk lasted?
@@ej8710The self-stable milk from $Tree is usually good 2-4 months past the Best Buy date. If I think I won’t use it as is before the expiration date, I buy 1 roll of sausage per carton left, (usually no more than 1 or 2 are left) and make sausage gravy for the freezer. We don’t drink a lot of milk but I do use it for gravy and cream soups so I know how often I run through it. Start with a couple of cartons to see how fast you use it. Then add a couple more cartons every other month or so - this will extend your expiration date rotation. Be safe, Be prepared, Be Blessed.
Two thoughts: One, pantry inventory/cleaning is WAY more fun with an audio book. Well, everything is way more fun with an audio book. I have a new phone which is louder than my old one, and I can even listen to a book while cleaning stalls. I made a sling for the phone so I can put it around my neck if I don't have a flannel shirt with a pocket on, or I can hang it near me, including the garden while weeding or picking beans.
Two: Since I retired, I eat very differently. There are things that I went through faster because I took them to work, peanut butter is an example of this. Also ponder how much food you eat that might not be available if something really terrible happens. For me, that would be things I can't make at home, like Tostito scoops. I like putting chili in them, etc.
I graze all day just like my horses, and let me tell you, if the poop really hits the fan and I run out of chocolate in the freezer, I'm going to be pretty grouchy! OH, wait! I have cacao powder and cacao butter in the freezer.....I could make some candies. Not as good as Snickers.....but would have to do!
You are fun…and resourceful! Yes ma’am on the audio book. 👍🏻
You are fun…and resourceful! Yes ma’am on the audio book. 👍🏻
@@joannc147 Thanks! I'm a writer, so listening to certain books is kinda sorta like working.....other times it's just plain fun while I do some cleaning or cooking. :)
Grow sprouts, easy takes the place of lettuce very nutritious also can be put in soups, stews. Grow in a jar.
That’s something I’m lacking, need to learn and partake in. Assuming some sprouts are better than others.
It can take a year just to figure out how much of an item you use in a given period of time. The first purchase should be a pack of sharpies to mark opening dates of everything. Three weeks is very manageable as an inexpensive start to prepping. Once you have a better idea of what you use, two months isn't so hard to accomplish. And so on.
Thank you for the great tips! My grown kids aren’t great at stocking their pantries, so a few years ago I asked my daughter in laws if they’d be interested in doing a big family garden. We all share in the work and processing, then I send most of it home with them. None of them had ever done canning or gardening themselves before, so I get to teach them and the grandkids at the same time. We make sure we grow things they actually will eat. This year we’re going to can some soups with our home grown veggies and they are excited. We make it a fun time and thankfully the girls love it!
That is a fantastic idea!
I loved what you said about helping. Yes! You are so right. I will help others. I have been trying to warn people and have warned my stepchildren who ignore it. But then they ignore us, we live minutes apart but they are too busy to come by to visit or even to call. I warned them. I did my due diligence.
I will help my neighbors. My husband and I are somewhat disabled. Our neighbors have helped us and are always telling us they will run errands or whatever we need. We haven’t taken them up on it yet.
Would I give the stepchildren some food? Maybe. But I do not believe I owe them anything. My husband has asked them for help in the past and they will schedule a weekend. Then just not show. No call nothing. They forget. I even canned something the stepdaughter loves for her. She was coming to get it. No show. No call. That tells me a lot. I won’t allow them to starve but I won’t short us for them. Period. I don’t hate them, that would be stupid. But they are just too involved in their own lives. Which is fine. Their choice. So I make my choice.
@ernestinebyrne9912
That is so hard. Some adult children seem to do this. It is sad.
Keep the door open.
But you don't have to kill the fatted calf every time they show up.
@@ej8710 exactly. My sister and her family are very close but 500 miles away. We have a Facebook group and do family calls quite often. It keeps me involved in the lives. I have no family here where I live but a ton of friends. When I need a ride because I have to have a driver I just post on my Facebook and take the first volunteer. That is just amazing to me. My husband is legally blind so obviously doesn’t drive. This weekend a friend and her husband are coming to do some yard work for us along with some other volunteers. I am blown away. And today our dog got out (again) because my husband had left the gates open. It was a funny sight with us trying to get her. And we had three or four different neighbors helping. Even a man who had to slam in his brakes to avoid hitting her stopped and tries to help. And another neighbor came along in a golf cart. Can you believe how wonderful it is where I live?
So my preps will definitely help out our close neighbors though they don’t know about them. And there’s a lot to be said for banding together. We are an incorporated area and so there’s just a few houses outside the city. Just houses on both sides of the road aside from the cemetery across from us. Definitely nice here.
Don’t “panic buy” be prepared to not have to fight the unprepared.
Exactly
Thanks to you popping up randomly on my feed two weeks ago I have been on a tear… 75 jars of Tomato sauce, 6 chicken broth jars, 6 pickled vegetables, 6 beef broth vegetables jars, 5 Banana Breads, 5 Zucchini breads are next, now due up are roasted red peppers, beets, dry pack potatoes, and waiting for good sales on chicken beef and pork to can also. From there will do a few beef stews and meals on the go. Cereals and dry beans check! Grains and oats check! Flour sugar and ingredients needed and all spices check! Water check! Bathroom is always stocked for a year… buy the stuff on sale. Cleaning supplies and vinegar plenty. Focus on fire starters and batteries and all the items non food that are essential. You’ve really inspired me to get ahead of the game and I am looking for a fondue deal too.
U inspire me!
You've got this!!!
Good job! Keep up the good work!
Just remember it isnt just food people need in some emergencies. ( like a house fire)
Its an outfit, a couple novels to read, a skillet and a pan with lids, just enough to get by untill they can talk to insurance and get government assistance.
( several years ago a older lady had her apt burned on a weekend in the middle of the night, got out in only her nighty. Apt was completely destroyed. She spent the rest of the weekend in her brothers apt ) accrost from me.
Had to use her brothers phone to get ahold of her Dr's to replace meds. I took her a sweatsuit outfit and a couple novels to read. When she got into her new apt, local food banks gave her vouchers for household kit stuff sheets blankets as well as clothes.
And it was in the middle of the month. She didnt have a dime untill the first.
She got food from food pantrys, but her most ergent need was cash for pill replacement and 3 or 4 outfits as it was clothes for cold weather( i think it was oct/nov ground was frosted the night her apt burned)
Stocking up on extra blankets sheets, kitchenware is a good idea. You never know when a friend is left with nothing but the clothes on their back. And had to run for their life.( public housing has had gas leak problems as well)
I had to furnish paper plates, cups and plastic flatware for a group meeting. So I looked at the prices, thought about my pantry supplies, and if I don't have water or electricity for the water heater to wash dishes, so I decided to get large packages of each to use at home as needed.
Also got my first order from Thrive Life!
I learned my lesson in February 2021 here in Texas with a week long ice storm and my first batch of new born goats!
I prefer spontaneous but we all make adjustments based on what takes care of our family the best right? Just spent all weekend in the pantry begrudgingly taking inventory and shuffling and making room for what I’ve canned this month, also making sure my stacks are in boxes only 2 high (I’m working on single stacks I promise, I need new shelves), Found a failed seal on some pears, broke a jar 🤦♀️, found a couple lost tin cans from 2013 🙄, but I’m done for today, it all has a place, happy with what I have and proud of all the home canned goods and the diversity of it. What a blessing it is to have enough for all of us to eat healthily. I know without an emergency, we’ve gone through 1200 jars per year for a couple years now while supplementing with fresh groceries, so my goal is to maintain around 2400 and I’m just about there. My next mission is taking stock and inventory and improving storage of the dried goods in Mylar and buckets…I will not be doing that today…or this week
OMG! The produce just keeps coming in and needs dealing with now...This isn't a complaint. I'm hoping to be at a point where I'll have a week where I can pantry inventory (last done this time last year) and an emergency pantry plan. I am rotating. I am using what I stock always and enjoying it immensely but I'm sure that what I'm sure I have probably isn't 100% accurate. I need to find and plug the holes by the end of October latest. Once again, thanks for the push
In a move of survival, I yanked my tomato plants last week.
@@SuttonsDaze I still have tomatoes coming so they're all hanging in there. Hot peppers as well as my black beans are still coming along. I think I feel this way most falls...You'd think I'd have come up with a time management scheme by now but no. Thanks again. Going to bed (its 7:30 here but the chickens are in) and I'll hit the floor running tomorrow. Yes the goal is to survive - and as you say, thrive.
I have a write-on, wipe-off board and write whatever I take out of stock on it and transfer them to a shopping list. It's too easy for me to lose track of how many of something I've used otherwise.
Good idea ty
Never pass up a good zombie stew. More milk duds. I grew up on paper plates. 15 sheets. I use the u1b2. Use 1 buy 2, stock up on the items as you use them.
Got to have my milk duds!!
Ginny at Homestead Corner has a few videos on putting meals in gallon sized ziplock bags. They're for situations when you need a meal fast or if someone other than the cook needs to feed the family. I haven't put any together yet, but I think putting 5-6 together for fast grabs (even using home canned foods) would be better than the "I forgot about super, I guess spam and mac'n'cheese is super" days.
Thank you, I'm struggling with my adult children refusing to listen to me. I fear so much for my grandchildren and you helped put it into perspective.
I do a meal plan because it seemed like we were eating the same 8-10 meals all the time. Got sick of that so I came up with a meal plan. Then I came up meal rotation plan because one week we had some sort of beef meal 5 days in a row. I got tired of dealing with beef that week. 😂 Do I 100% stick to the plan? No. Sometimes we have leftovers from 3-4 days ago. It depends on what is happening in life and if I need to make room in the freezer.
THIS!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm chickened out. Bought salad dressing for marinating it. Now what am I gonna use it for? Ugh Meal prep can change.
Ummm, you don't need to grill in the winter...The next time that grill is fired up, throw on some extra chicken, and put it in the freezer. That's my night out foods. 😁😁 Smoke 2 pork roasts, and shred one for the freezer. TIME saving!
I have been experimenting with microgreens, most are ready for the table 8 -14 days from start to salad bowl. I am the world's worst gardener but and I've had a few failures but these are much better than sprouts (IMHO).
Yes it does help , I only use paper plates and paper bowls , I got this , THANK YOU LEISA
You are so welcome!
I am a widow and live alone. I am So Glad I came across your channel. Your delivery is so soothing and real. I have been preparing as I believe dark times are coming but I didn't thnk of hygiene items. Makes so much sense. Thank you for sharing! ❤
Paper plates...don't feel you have to get the expensive extra durable ones. Cheap and cheerful thin ones you can use on top of your regular plates (for support) to get you through a blackout, hurricane, icestorm, etc. Keeps the plate clean and eliminates using water for dishwashing! Someone further down in the comments suggested wax paper over plates....a giant roll of institutional use sized restaurant waxed paper can line plates and bowls in place of paper plates and takes up a lot less space if you're short on storage space.
Thank you Leisa for your video on preparedness. I reorganized my pantry this weekend. I found to quart jars that had failed seals. I made a point to touch every jar. Ordered your pantry book on Amazon. I get it today. Your the best!!
Good morning, Leisa
First off, I’m with the cats. I hate soft water. Not to be a snob but I only drink spring water. which means our well, water from the hotel I stay in every October or bottled spring water. Purified water has too much sodium and city water just taste nasty. LOL
I made a list of ethnicity/ comfort food/ family favorites. This helps in brainstorming what I can make and plan accordingly. think Taco Tuesday but Italian night or Chinese Take In night (we create our own Chinese buffet favorites.) Sunday is Quiche. I make 2 once a month. 1 is just meat/ cheese and one includes spinach. I cut them into servings and freeze so I have them the rest of the month.
Thanks for always making us think.
Be safe, Be prepared, Be Blessed
Wicked hot today here in Maine 85 degrees loved every second of it
Yay Lewiston
Wny here 82°
😓Hello from Louisiana 😓
I am not a meal planner, but I do an inventory of my pantry about every 6 months, then count up how many generous servings I have in each class ( protein, veg,fruit starch). Then I check condiments and staples. Usually I over estimate but that's ok. 16:22
Some years ago, I found cheap duffle bags on Amazon, three Mountian House meals a day for each person, a battery lantern, and some snacky stuff. These were their starter bug out bags. People who did not have a way to heat things up have gotten a butane stove and a couple cans of butane. I have added some thing related to that every year. Half of them think I am crazy-but that is okay. Hopefully they will never have to use them.
I really don't meal plan per say, but I try to keep things stocked up for whatever I decide to make. We sometimes have unusual schedules, so it makes it hard to keep up with them at times. We have a walk in pantry now and it makes it so nice to go in there and get what I need to re-stock my kitchen pantry. I have not been to the grocery store to do my main shopping, in over a month now. I do go to 2 stores, usually every week for their weekly specials in the ads. There was not much last week, but I did get chuck roasts, and bottom roasts this past week on sale. I didn't really need them yet, but who knows what the sale price will be next time. It was a $1 more than it was last year on sale. Hubs says, we could probably go another month or so, without me doing any of my main grocery shopping, and he's probably right. I have been finding some great recipes through FB, that people have been posting and saving them, so I can go back through and write them down, so I can try them out. The recipes will be put in plastic sleeves and then go in a binder.
Pantry planning and moving! After years of building a pantry, we are moving. Inventory really became clear. Rotate !! My husband won't eat the food I canned and now I am switching gears and only canning meals I will eat. No time, no .only to waste! You are my Jiminy Cricket as I organize my new pantry.
I am buying 2 or 4 of everything. When we take one off the shelf, I put 2 more on the list. Then we use another one and I buy 2 more. I rarely buy just 1 of anything. If I see a good deal on something I know we would use, I grab at least 2. I look over the stock when I am in the storage room, and add a couple items that are lacking a bit each week. We have really simplified what we keep in stocks, what we preserve, and what we eat.
My freezer fan went out. 3 eeeks wsiting for the repair. It still stays cold and everything is still frozen because I have it stuffed, but I csn still add more. Finally getting repaired this Wednesday as the part took a long time to get. This was a learning experience.
Wow, i'm amazed it all stayed frozen. Time to jar up what you can.
@SuttonsDaze working on that for sure!
Hello , my husband purchased the anchor hocking wide mouth glass jars and I am iso what you use for the glass jar sealer. Prefer the one with the attachment and that also seals bags. Thank you. Stay 😎 cool.♥️
@cmoore6895 I have a Foodsaver with the jar sealer I haven't used the jar sealer as of yet. I don't believe it can seal wide mouth jars. Have you tried looking on Amazon?
Leisa, these videos are so helpful!! As I have a small house-under 1000 square feet, I have to be mindful when stocking up. I appreciate your tips about preparedness outside of food (which I have covered for the most part). Right now I’m focused on emergency supplies (just bought 2 fire blankets and a small camping stove). I have long term plans to swap out gas generator for a solar one at some point, just have to get the husband on board. I’m no way near to prepared but every step feels empowering . And yes to helping others!!! Love sharing with family, neighbors and friends. Community is so important!
I don’t know about everyone else, but if we need anything, we usually just get it ( unless it is a huge amount). Christmas is not only about gifts. We have started only getting the kids a gift. Before, wreath could spend $200+ on gifts for everyone, and usually we didn’t need what we received.
I retired at the start of the pandemic. I always canned a few jars of this and that. But when things were hard to get I ramped it up. My husband wasn't on board until he started doing some of the shopping. We both come from huge families and saw our grandparents put food back. Then our parents not so much. Thank you Leesa for giving such good advice and safe ways to can. My children are aware and putting back too. My oldest daughter got me a bunch of jars. My oldest son bought me a pressure canner. My youngest daughter got me a fondue pot and my youngest son got me a new water bath canner. It helps a lot when everyone used to think I was going overboard.
Oh my goodness! What a crazy day and we definitely need to prepare these next few months.
You are still a Rock Star, Leisa! I am Guilty as charged with the “build it and forget it pantry plan”. I simply love walking into my pantry/art studio and glancing at my stockpile…..ah, warm fuzzy feelings. But, USE THOSE ITEMS? 😱. (I’m a work in progress). Just recently woke up to storing extra cleaning supplies….duh. I’m too old to learn how to meal plan. I seriously need to learn how to meal plan. (Did I mention the “work in progress issue”?). I need to research pantry recipes and just write down a dozen to add to my Prep Binder. Note to self…..meal plan with pantry items. Sigh.
Pantry recipes are recipes period. Stock what you eat, eat what you stock
This weekend I did half bushel of beets and half bushel of hot hungarian wax and half bushel of jalapenos. Last week did 57 half pints of grape jelly. Today made Leisa's banana bread for a crowd and a peach cobbler.
Great information, each individual household is unique
is so true! Thanks for this video a great reminder t9 focus on the nutritional value for our preps!
I'm prepping for 13, no matter what
TIP: On things (eg TP or coffee) where I have pretty consistent usage, I use WM subscription so they are shipped to me automatically.
This makes it easier for me to maintain my par levels.
❤Thanks,again Leisa
You are so practical & helpful !
I prep For Grandsons ..Though they are one State away
And neighbors & Pets ❤🕊️as always, Lord's Blessings All.From the Foothills of the Olympics WA 🏔️⛈️🍀💕
I love your videos SO much. You are honest and SO REAL! I love it! You say it like it is. There’s always at least one thing you say that makes me laugh out loud. And these days I need to laugh. 😂
Love this. You've been killing it with this series 🏆
Thanks!
Spent the weekend sorting out my pantry, freezer next! I have a very small amount of space to work with so just do my bast. I’m doing Christmas presents for the kids, emergency car kits 🤣
Wonderful!
My daughter and son-in-law have 15 acres and I'm getting ready to purchase at least some land as close as I can to them. Most of my grandkids live in that area (My ex-daughter-in-law and kids are there) and I'm 8 hours away and that just isn't working for me anymore lol. My two boys want come with me and we're hoping to start a small family homestead- The kids love to call it the family plot, lol- so that we can start making some serious preparations. I'm moving to North Idaho, where it's still a little bit of the wild West... People hunt and fish and aren't real big on government telling them what to do, which is exactly what I'm looking for. My daughter and I love to garden, and we're hoping to bring my daughters in law into the game. I have my grandma's canner, Aunt I'm buying a freeze dryer to go with my large dehydrator. I'm truly looking forward to days spent with the kids and the grandkids, working in the garden and putting up food together. If it were just me I may not invest in the freeze dryer but I think that between myself and the three kids and their spouses and the grandkids, we'll definitely get enough use out of it to justify it. If we take care of it it's something that the kids will be using even after I'm gone. Maybe the grandkids can even make freeze-dried candy to sell at the fair, LOL.
Thank you for your words of wisdom.
Our grocery list is on the frig all the time, as we see something getting low it goes on the list, if we're out of it is written in capital letters. Then we go to the storage and pull out the list then after shopping they go back into storage. Rotating as we go.
Aside for buying things at great prices and being able to hold out 3 to 5 days, of weve been cash strapped amd at a quandary about what to stock - we have aimed for things that make things. Flour, sugar, quick bread leavening items, pantry stable grains and starches, proteins, and flavoring items even if they are a few seasoning packets you could'a, world'a, should'a make from scratch. For us, as we've built more expansive larders we have drifted towards more from scratch cooking. But also from scratch pantry items like making our own seasoning packets, baking mixes premeasired by the recipie amount on the shelf, etc...
The mind set changes with respect to comparative cost and the savings helps pay for larder stocking efforts on the same or similar budget. Once you've purchased 10 to 50 pounds of flour, it's only a hop, skip, and a jump to make up some of your own pancake mix, make some drop biscuits of your own versus buying pre-mades from the refridgerator case, or make up some coo,it's or muffins "from a flour sack" as I say. We aren't eating jams, jellies, fruit or maple flavored syrups, etc... right now but my gosh the price increases of these items has outstripped the cost of sugar; find recipies that don't call for pectin and refridgerate in a well sealed jar rather than can if desired. - The next thing you know, you will be honest to goodness prepping for your pantry even if it isn't for vast quantities to last months and years nor full meal deals. If you select wiseky with with cost and savings in mind, you will also be eating far better (a d likely actual meal time comvience) on the same or less money.
I’m working on it this weekend too!!
I had two wall shelves collapse. Damaged stuff but nothing broken. Watch the weight.
Don’t forget a pack of sewing needles and a spool of black and white thread you can fix just about anything with those two colors and you never know when something important like a coat will need mended
Your videos are so awesome. You always provide a nugget or two that I either hadn’t thought of, or which triggers a reminder. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Hello, working on it!!!
You got this!
Extra Vitamins ❤
I always meal plan, makes my day easier. I found a waffle maker at thrift store 50% off , it was under $5 bucks. Now I make waffles for dinner and make dessert waffles.
Love your channel. You are very wise,😊 kind ❤and hilarious! 😅
What is it Pinball says; two is one and one is none? I use one and try to buy two the next shopping day. I have several meals that make a big crockpot so it can be shared: hamburger soup, vegetable goulash, chicken taco and broccoli cheese soup (I sometimes add canned chicken and fresh broccoli if I have it, I noticed my shelf has broccoli cheese rice. That's going in the next batch), chili. I use canned foods for those, except the hamburger (may get brave and can some). My sister and I brain storm different dishes we can make using just canned foods. Can't hurt! Folks living in the country with their own wells/water points should buy themselves an old fashioned hand pump, while they can. I've known most of our immediate neighbors for decades, we help each other. While preparing your pantries be sure to get hard copies of how to books, first aid books, cookbooks, notebooks (to keep a journal of the hard times so you can go back to see what worked and what didn't). The first thing to do in any crisis is get/stay calm!!
Thank you Leisa! 😊
I have a brand new fondue pot I bought at Savers a couple years ago. Never thought about it as a cooking source. So thank you. I do have an. Iwatana burner and case of butane canisters. Just in case.
I've been canning all day. Got done about 5 today then done Laundry . And then dinner
nice footage and neat to see the sow and cub. good luck this season. take care
Thank you for sharing this video with all of us and God Bless y'all 🙏 Prayers for all of us...
I wish I had a bigger space. I am going to make freezer meals tomorrow my friend gave me nice meal holders. So it's so easy and fun 😊
Our larders have always been about buying as much as possible on sale so we don't have to buy when its not on sale. The next priority is so that we don't have to run to the store mid recipie; actually more of a problem when we lived in-town 10-15 minutes from a grocery store than it is now. The third priority is split between being able to stay home 3 to 5 days with the possibility of no power and having to stay home 3 to 5 days 'cause you're sick. Beyond that its stock well balanced for 2 weeks, then 30 days, then upto 6 months. We've never been well balanced for a full 12 months and we generally don't stock up for more than "upto a year"; this gives us 18 to 24 months to work through items in the larder if we're not consuming as quickly as we thought we would. - Over all having a bit of a plan, a list, and shopping the larder first is key.
From the title of the video, I thought this was going to be a plan in how to deal with packing and moving your pantry in an emergency like a wildfire or flood. I do have some mixed buckets that are in front that I can grab and go, but I don't have a clue how I can move all my emergency stuff, ugh.
In an emergency situation, you cant. You grab what you can without risking life and limb, grab your important stuff and go.
Like Alaskan Granny's son in his house fire. Rebuild again.
Castile soap( not scented) for washing dishes, bathing, and for brushing teeth. We all remember empty shelves.
I was living in the Poconos in the mid 2000's when a freak ice storm devastated us! Now we were always prepared with extra stuff and I have canned all my life. But suddenly we found ourselves without electricity for 2 weeks. Despite all the things I had it was a rude awakening!! Since then I stock WATER!! Sterno. My party throwing self has the things that need it and they kept us fed from my pantry. Propane for camp stove and Bbq grill. Instant coffee! Yuck...but dry coffee creamer. Lantern oil and wicks. MATCHES! Charcoal and fluid just in case. Paper goods of all types. A LOT of heavy duty foil for fire pit meals. And bought a solar charger, which is vital IMHO. Its all the solar I can afford.
@@marmie53 That was January 2005. I remember it well. We were lucky because we only lost power for 5 days at the house. The rest of the Girl Scout camp (where we live) lost power for 18 days. I remember that, at one point, we heated up pizza on the top of a kerosene heater.😂 Whatever works, right? I’m a bit more prepared now but still wish I was even MORE prepared.
My husband was alive it was 2005, October. I thank God we had gas heat , space heater. We ran the fridge on a generator, kept it chained to a metal railing , with that and our German Shephard we were protected. I miss him bad. 💔
@@kimberlymaehrer6665 2020 kicked me into high gear! You'll get there!
@@ravenstillwaters5195 That one must have missed us then, because the one I remember was January and it was actually 2 back to back ice storms. Regardless, though, these things do kind of wake you up, don’t they?
@@marmie53 Yep! Same here. That’s when I started stocking up on a few minor things. Now, with everything going on and things that could possibly happen, I stock up much more frequently and not just food or paper products.
Well for the first time in 15 yrs we got mice , thankful very little damage , but got those critters, they did however get in a bag of flour and some noodles, in my regular cooking pantry, you better believe I got to checking my stock up😊
You need lots of paper plates when the water goes I went. For three weeks without water I don't know how many people where on facebook talking about how they had babys and couldn't do dishes how many people bought water storage tanks so they could hook it up to there house to do dishes and take showers people ran out of food and couldn't get the store to get food I get aggravated listening to them people .stock up it's not that hard .we keep water in 5 gallon drums with a pump to flush toilet I fill the bath tub when it's going to freeze people where going to the lake with 5 gallon buckets to get water to flush there toilets no when it's going freeze fill your bath tub
preach it sister!!
I fill my empty cat litter jugs with water for toilet flushing. I live in apartments so I keep them in my hall closet.
Its not much, but I can flush,.......
We were in California when the hurricane hit last year. We knew it was coming, so before I went to bed that night I filled every pot and container in our VRBO rental with water. I clearly remember my grandma doing that at the beginning of every thunderstorm. We were lucky and didn't need if, but if the power had gone out and we were stuck up on that mountain for a few days, we would have been okay.
We rarely use canned vegetables, but I have them for my emergency pantry. I figure when they need to be used, a little olive oil and some garlic should make them ok. We are spoiled by having access to fresh vegetables all the time. Although we eat seasonally wherever possible.
Stock extra fat!, hear me out! If the SHTF thing results in extra labor, are you shoveling snow, processing trash because the service has stopped, hand washing laundry, you will NEED more calories than normal, especially if your usually relatively sedentary etc. I know the idea of shot glassing oil is ick but if you're burning the extra energy you need to be able to replace it, and fats are the most calorie dense for the least space, if not oil or lard at least a couple extra jars of nut butter, and if you get close to the expiration date replace it and pass it along!
Great info as usual.
So in other words PREPPING like we are always talking about.
With intention, starting with what you have
I love what you have in your pantry. I have thought of getting thrive, but was not sure of recipes to use them.
I thinking I need to give up and buy some paper plates and plastic ware! I like eating off “real” plates and washing dishes relaxes me, but i do need to have alternative stock for just in case!
I found 2 fondue pots, and 3 cast iron pans/pots now I just need a Dutch oven.
I have a water filter from Aqualine. It can even filter ditch water.
I just paid $50 for 3 8 roll pkg of TP. 6 month supply if I am careful. Paying that much was a shock. I can't imagine the cost when I need to replace it.
That is funny. I was thinking you looked flushed when you said you were working outside
Thanks for your info
Basically, if we go to war, can you survive? No car trips after 2 months, cutting back to minimum heat for house, no a/c possible, no tires cause military needs, walking to work and doing man's job if needed. Can you measure up to what women did for WW2?
Thank you Leisa ❤️✝️
Fixed my canned turkey today. Omg so good made salad out of it so good
Hello ❤ Lisa ❤.
Love this!
Thank you.
You have to get in your kitchen and learn how to cook, ugly chicken is going to become very unappetizing if you only know how to open the jar and eat it 😥I feel like I can be spontaneous when meal planning because I have single ingredients stored in a jar (ugly meat) or ingredients frozen and there my jump off for the week. Will the ground beef turn into a Taco night or a Bolognese?Whatever it ends up being I am not committed to "Taco Tuesday" but I am committed to the ground beef that will be on the menu this week. I hope that made sense. Take Good Care in this heat, I had to turn the car AC on and let the car cool before I went out today - not the worse problem to have 😜🥂
Adults need 50 G protein per day minimum. If you aren’t going to have everything, you need protein. Some people do carnivore, this doesn’t work for me. There is no dietary requirement for carbs. I need fiber, your milege may vary.
I just told my husband the other day that bottle water has a different taste like metal.
