Own Supermarket Brand canned meals are almost becoming as expensive as British Army Military Spec Retort Pouch meals if purchased in Bulk i.e. 20 per box. The military rations are more compact, portable and usually have more Kcals and can be easier to reheat with less clean up for use in an emergency with many of the meals being quite tasty. I would have included cans of Rice Pudding and Custard as well, but if there was only a choice of 10 Cans. A much wider variety of cans and military meal retort pouch would help break up ration fatigue. Canned vegetables are generally pretty horrible but the Lidl Freshona Petit pois seem to be acceptable. A quick and easy meal for example 1 Can of Lidl Freshona Petit pois 1 Can of Newgate Stewed Steak 1 Pkt of Idahoan Buttery Mash Makes a Reasonable Cottage Pie. 1 Can of Rhubarb or Cherries 1 Can of Apple slices 1 Can of Custard 1 Pkt of Crumble Topping mix Puddings will keep up morale.
I keep Grants pulled pork and beef ribs, Sainsbury's Bombay potato, Kirkland chicken breast, tuna, chickpeas, Lidl tinned peach halves, evoporated milk, crosse and blackwell cream of chicken soup and baked beans. So i can easily rotate and use i have tended to stick to items that i can also feed to my family now, some are more expensive but the protein content is higher. I tend ro only stock up when there are offers available. I do have some tinned potatoes, sweetcorn (Morrisons also sell a sweetcorn and red pepper mix) and chopped tomatos too, they are cupboard staples.
We jar all our fruit up it normally lasts 2 year's, also tomatoes and peppers we dry our chillies and I have just jard some sun-dried tomatoes with garlic and origano in olive oil even the olive oil is from our trees
Im Amish we normly eat oat cereal w 1/4 tsp brown sugar n 1% milk. Eat good lunch chili crackers glass iced sun tea (, no sugar) n peanut butter szndwich. Snack a banana or apple.supper popcorn. Most work is done so u dont need a big meal. This is s good diet n will help u lose weight.
Excellent,Ana! I am a big proponent of tinned (canned) foods. They are good, they make a quick, good meal that won't even need to be heated if worse comes to worse. The water in the tins will cook rice, barley or dried potatoes. I have a lot of dried potatoes, but also trimmed ones. We haven't stewed beef in the States, at least that I have ever seen. I have a lot of corned beef and just loaded up because a store brand has had a big sale(1.96 GBP as opposed to 4.70-6.27 GBP for store-to-name brands). Do you have "modified foo statch" now in your tinned soups, stews, chilis, etc? There are few here that are no not full of GMO say protein as a filler, and it allows them to cheapen down the amount of meat. Some of our family members cannot tolerate it. Also, most now have monosodium glutamate to enhance the flavor while they cut back on ingredients, but I am most allergic to MSG.
The Best before end dates are a con because in most cases the stuff inside the can will last for decades if not a century or more. The only thing to worry about with tinned goods is the tin swelling, the tin bulging then the goods inside the tin might not fit to eat, I never throw out tins if they pass the BBE date as the dates were introduced by the EU so that shops couldn't sell products after the BBE date but there are some stores that sell products after the BBE date has being reached for a fraction of the price of they used to be.
To save money im trying to c Cook up several dishes for supper for whole month. Beef stew, chili, spGhetti, chicken noodle soup, veg soup, ham n potato soup,. Put a after at room temp in 5 mason jars each. Put all 30 jars n freezer. Take 1 of each in refrige r ator. As u take 1 out of fridge to eat tske one of same kind n put from freezer to fridge. An experiment to save money.
It will prolong the shelf life by a long way especially with oxygen absorber. You are not the first person to ask about mash so I may make a video on options if storage
@@AnasFoodLifestyle I appreciate you doing a video on mash potatoes. also breakfast cereal if you have any experience. As I know sugar hardens and if there is a nut content this can also make it go bad. This Would be very much appreciated. Thank you
Sardines are 50/70p tuna 55p the cheapest option. I haven’t actually compared calories but will be good to check against tuna in oil, that’s you for the prompt 😊
@AnasFoodLifestyle sardines for me are 60p at cheapest, would love to know where you can get tuna for 55p, I prefer it to sardines and will convert but can't believe it's that cheap
Most people do ! sorry am I missed the point here? We talking about shtf situation, weather you know basics of cooking or not , if there is no fresh food available and you don’t have stock preps than your basics are no use ?
Sardines, sweetcorn, baked beans and corned beef would be a dream to live on in the event of an apocalypse event!

Great info, Ana! Btw saw news today here in USA that metal will cause an increase in tinned food. Thanks for another great video!
Hey Ana 👋. I have got LOADS of corned beef, tuna, and Pilchards & beans. I may add to it, though, based on this video. Thanks 😊 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

That’s Amazing !!! I would love to make own olive oil 🤤 it’s a good place to be if you can be self sufficient 😊

Hi , thank you for sharing 😊😊 unfortunately yes modified maze starch is in most 😕
Excellent choices Ana. Xx
All good suggestions and the odds are they won't get cheaper.
Great video. We love tinned Ravioli & Spaghetti Bolognese.

Just wondering Have you done any video on how to store potatoes flakes/ instant mash long term?
Hi , not individually but I think I have covered it in one of the videos . You can vacuum seal it or Mylar bag It 😊
@@AnasFoodLifestyle Thank you for your reply. What about the fat content does it make it go bad putting into Mylar bags or vacuum sealed?

Great advice and encouragement Ana💪🏻💪🏻 Unfortunately poor sound
Sound was perfect for me!
@@Aidan1444 That’s good 😊 I had to turn the volume up to 32 when I normally use between 10-12 on my tv. It was just for information, not criticism 😊
Corn is very difficult to digest.
True
I'm gutted I can't Churchfield sliced beef in gravy anymore, it seems to have died a death since lockdown
Many things are vanishing of the shelves ☹️
I could live on canned fish. Sardines are probably the cheapest and most affordable. Double the calories than tuna and half the price.

Is she a South African Lithuanian Cockney? Interesting accent!!!
Eastern European
@@AnasFoodLifestyle I know I was just being slightly sarcastic about the mangling of accents, mostly picked up from the street.
Corn is a grain not a vegetable.
It’s actually both , it’s considered a vegetable when fresh and only considered grain when dried 😁
I know basics of cooking
Most people do ! sorry am I missed the point here? We talking about shtf situation, weather you know basics of cooking or not , if there is no fresh food available and you don’t have stock preps than your basics are no use ?
