When the government tells you don’t worry and only have a weeks worth of food....that’s your signal to buy all the more. Glad my pantry is all set. Nothing worse than an empty dinner table. Hope everyone is prepared. Things are going to get even worse
Glen Baker We all will be soon enough.
Frankly there is no excuse for not having a stocked pantry. My mother taught me well...always have a pantry stocked with basics.
You can buy a bag of rice for $1 or 2 cans of veggies. It's the small steps over time. Everyone should be doing this, should have done this. I have a small budget, but I do it. If I have a few extra bucks I pick up an item or two and so can others. Unless you are homeless it is doable.
@tiger Davies most people could spare a few dollars if they just made smarter choices. You can get stocked up for less than $5 a month per person. Unless you are homeless, you can find a way.
@tiger Davies But when chickens--hams--turkeys are on sale you can freeze them-cook later in the year and have many cheap meals-sandwhich meats and stock . Save a few dollars out for when they go on sale mostly at holiday times.
That's crazy talk. Its better to have two boxes of hot pockets and ALL the premium cable channels on you 150 inch TV.
@tiger Davies Having a pantry saves you money. You buy things in bulk when they are on sale for a really good price. Eventually you work to a point where you just go buy the sales each week. Whats not on sale you use from the pantry stock till its on sale. It's a way you can beat the grocery stores at their own game.
I am that oddball that bought a 52 oz bottle of ranch dressing as emergency prep. If there's ranch dressing....it will cover anything.. including foods that don't taste good. I can't do a pandemic without ranch dressing!!!
peepla7 that’s actually brilliant
Oh my gosh...I can’t tell you how funny I find your post...🤪🥰
😂👍
@@tamrakds I'm serious...but since you found it funny....this will floor you, it's Hidden Valley Ranch instead of the Kroger's brand. If im gonna die I'm gonna die my way...with ranch...I will survive!
I have stockpiled chips and Blue Hawaiian frozen drink bags... 🍹 I totally understand...lol
We have been through a week of this. Finally some stores are allowing seniors to go in early after they stocked and cleaned the store. So I am going to play my age card an use it to buy food and supplies starting on Tuesday!
I'm proud to say that I've been watching your channel and some prepping style channels, and while being in crisis mode financially and not able to prep very much, I was doing what I could. I invested in a bidet a few months ago, which turned out to be a happy coincidence. I learned how to make my own bread, biscuits, and tortillas. I have tons of canned and dried beans, enough rice to last about a month or so, a little ground beef, some canned/frozen veggies and some random things. I'm also six months pregnant, so I have been extra impressed at my ability to still satisfy my cravings for brownies when all I had was black beans. Thank you for all you guys do, I can't believe we're living through this. People are insane.
I am so grateful that my Grandma Hazel taught me DEPRESSION panty tips and the farm recipes they used during that period. She called her pantry her Larder. I also have some of her cookbooks. They also contain recipes for homemade soap! I started shopping the first week of March. Then I was on school break, so I had the stores to myself and was able to get canned chicken breast, tuna, flour, canned goods and milk to freeze,etc. I need to mention that I turned 70 this month There are three of us 70-somethings sheltering in place on our family farm.
Because we are farmers...we are all working! You and your husband did great shopping! I see so many folks who do not know how to cook. This may be a good time to tune into You Tube and take some lessons...
I would have grabbed two of those whole racks of ribs and fired up the grill! We are spoiled here in this country, I never take for granted the insane amount of choice we have when it comes to food here in this country even though I was born here every day I'm grateful that we have the ability to have such a choice, these bare shelves are what third world countries have to look at every day of their lives, as long as I get to eat I'm happy...
I gave your book to my son to check out the cookie recipes. He found the cookie tip page and tried the tip to microwave hard homemade cookies (he made these the day before and they were hard) for 20 seconds. It worked, much to his surprise. So he proceeded to heat up some more cookies and loved playing the scientist. He is 24 years and had a grand time. Thank you. From Regina Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦
Idk why people won't buy a turkey! It will last forever!
I buy them whenever I can. Love the taste
Veronica Vatter I tried and they were out 😢
Because it's not Thanksgiving or Christmas 😂
Hey, needs must. You can find them for 99c a lb and one can last you a week.
I bet because it takes up so much space in freezer. We got the ground turkey to freeze. Whatever works though.
There is plenty of food... Its just not everyone's favorites ... They'll eat it if they are truly hungry.... How many are wishing they would have listened to their grandparent, when they told stories about surviving the great depression and the second World war!
Wonder why people don't understand they can bake bread...it is so simple.
Can also make pasta too.
...and today, I made my own ketchup. Took 30 minutes and passed the picky (about ketchup) husband test! I got into a panic about onions because I use them for so many things and all the stores are either out, don't allow it on a pickup order, or simply have no time slots for pick up or delivery. Same darling husband went and got some when he got home from work
Yep, instead of "prepping" bread, Im buying more flour. Healthier and cheaper. Instead of buying pasta sauce or tomato soup, I will be buying more tomatoes and make my own.
@Patti Rahn Mine too. But today I went out (I usually wait to have a loooong list), and found some at two of the stores.
@Patti Rahn you can substitute yeast with beer to make bread. Also, fresh lemon juice with baking soda.
Tawra..maybe a new cookbook idea would be a virus book how to cook during a pandemic 🤷
My Dollar Tree had tons of food. You just have to think outside the box.
That was the only place in my town that had frozen fries! Go figure 🤷. I also got hot dog buns
Dollar tree here is wiped out.
@@pookiehoney do you have a big lots? They have a good amount of food too
It really all depends where you are in the world. Stock varies widely across countries and the world as a whole.
Convenient stores carry toilet paper and paper towels. Gotta think outside the box.
Wow it still blows me away how people are panicking and buying everything in site., I’ve always stock up on food. my pantry and cupboards are full.my fridge and freezer is full. Since Saturday I’ve had to go back to my local grocery store which is a cross the street from my apartment. To buy potatoes.eggs.and fresh fruit and vegetables. I always have 2-3 packs of toilet paper on hand whenever there is a sale. I and today I finally got potatoes and extra flour and eggs. Because if need be I can make my own bread.pizza dough and pasta. So I’m all set .. I did not buy bottled water.last summer I bought a big Brita container that’s sits on shelf in my fridge.. Today our Prime Minister has declared Canada in a state of emergency.and when the prime minister decides to put the country in quarantine.I am all set..
This should be common sense, but...
Most people don't know how to shop for food. I picked up a few weeks, or more, worth of food from what was LEFT on the shelves. I wanted to share my strategy in case this drags out for an extended period. Once you get the food, make sure you can keep it. A not so subtle referemce to home security.
There are more grains than just rice, wheat and corn. There is barley, quinoa, millet, buckwheat, oats, flax, and more. All very healthy. And just as easy to prepare. Keep the foods that come in an envelope for dire emergencies.
Can't find sliced bread? I saw croisants for breakfast sandwiches. I saw whole sections still full of bagels and english muffins. Plenty of cream cheese, peanut butter and preserves also. Can't find flour or don't have much left? You can add coconut flour to wheat flour and get 20-30 percent more. I saw several packages of coconut flour at a Kroger store of all places.
I like to hit the asian and latin american sections too. Flour torillas, refried beans, terriyaki and korean BBQ. There is always curry, A good way to spice up meat/chicken and potatoes or rice. I do a lot of cooking in my wok so asian foods are good. (Get cooking oil, I prefer olive oil and it seems to be on the shelves still.) Try some of the indian foods. You may like them. I also found some some shin ramyum in family packs in the asian section, when the crappy stuff in the other aisle was all gone. It is spicier and each package serves two. Speaking of spices, Get some seasoning packs. Taco, Fajita, meatloaf. They have more uses. Also those instant gravy mixes are great. And they can't seem to give give them away. Get plenty of garlic. It goes with anything and is healthy. Minced if you can find it (its just easier).
Italian is good too. But people seem to think you can only use spaghetti. fettucine, rigatoni, or macaroni. There are many more pastas on the shelf and they are all still pasta, just different shapes. Found whole wheat spaghetti and fettucine still on the shelf. Unless you have a serious gluten issue it is good. And if you can't find the jars of sauce, find something on TH-cam. And remember pasta sauces come in white and red. The red sells out first usually. And when you are in the pasta section, grab some egg noodles for soups. May want to see if there is beef or chicken broth avaiiable. Bullion cubes can work too.
Meats? Everyone is leaving prime cuts on the shelf for hamburger. There are a lot of ribeyes, fillets and other expensive cuts. So some terriyaki or korean bbq sauce is great. Pork is good too, but bacon is in short supply. Found some pork loin steaks because the pork chops were gone. I got the last pack of seasoned pork sausage to go with my pasta sauce. If you can only get sirloin or round steaks, you can still tenderize it or cut it up for a stir fry or a fajita. I usually add chicken or pork to fried rice and somrtimes beef. Oh and ground Chorizo for the burritos. or even in an omelet,
Must mention fish and seafood. Tilapia is a good choice, especially if you can get individualy wrapped fillet packs. Salmon is available, if you don't go overboard, it is pricy. I have become quite fond of the catfish nuggets that come frozen in a big ziplock bag and great with Adobo seasoning. The single serving tuna and salmon are good the foil envelope are good for quick single servings. And there is never a shortage of sardines.
The corn bread was sold out, but all those boxes of corn muffins are basically the same thing and you can put them in a square pan. All kinds of cake mixes. What is cake? A sweeter bread, even without the frosting. I also happen to like honey bran muffins which many people don't care for, you all can keep the sold out banana nut and blueberry. The sugar content is high and they grow mold unless you keep refrigerated.
The produce section is always full. Potatoes last a fairly long time. As do sweet potatoes and onions. Get tomatoes that aren't quite ripe and leave then on your countertop. Fresh vegetable are easy. I got cilantro, carrots, bell peppers, green onions, yellow onions I chopped them up , bagged for single meal use and stuck in the freezer.I still need more pico de gallo and green chili. Many more if you want them. Frozen vegetables? It seems a lot of people don't like brussel sprouts, lima beans or edamame (soy) beans. If you don't mind, find a way to spice them up.
In short, use what you have, don't give up because you can't have what you want. I hate jelly beans ans fruit cake but I will eat them.
Think outside the box. Even grasshoppers taste good with enough chocolate.
Thanks for writing all this out. It's very helpful.
Convinence dependency equal stress. Yesterday I saw a family bought stacks of frozen pizza😂😂😂I hope they have a commercial freezer at home.
We live in the 3% Sometimes the water comes out of the faucet brown. We go to the RO stands with gallon and 5 gallon bottles and fill up. 20 to 25 cents per gallon
New Mexico Nurse......That's the smart thing to do.....I've try telling people that for years, but they seem to have SELECTIVE hearing. I think it's so stupid and wasteful to always buy the bottles when a person could just refill a jug for pennies. I reuse empty gallon size white vinegar jugs for my water if and when I need it. Even then, I only use it to make ice tea, because using regular tap water gets kind of weird looking. Heck ....I've got a faucet filter I can install too. Anyway...you were spot on with your comment. Stay SAFE and HEALTHY !!
..
I hear you. I live in Okeechobee Florida and we have a well. Okeechobee is a rural town and we are in that 3 percent. We also go to the Room stands to buy water bringing our containers but have also bought bottled water in case we have to quarantine and can't leave the house
You too. Be safe and let's keep praying
What is an RO stand?
Two seconds in and I’m cracking UP! 😂🤣 A moving van! Thank you, I needed a good laugh.
Bought a 50lb bag of flour before this all happened so I'm gonna bake breads and the like!
That was a good move. I cannot find flour anywhere online or at local grocery stores in my region.
@@HerAeolianHarp If you have a Gordon foods they have been stocked up here on Flour because all the restaurants they normally sell too are shut down.
Her Aeolian Harp. I saw a five pound bag of flour for $6.59 recently!
@@frugalprepper That's a great idea!
@@cherylT321 I saw a dozen eggs for 3.35. At Dollar General. I reported them for price gouging.
People are buying up water cause somebody on the news told them to have enough bottled water and TP to last for a self quarantine. But man people are off the hook.
We live in an RV right now (not in a park) so we always use bottled water. As soon as we found out people were going crazy we got RV TP and a couple cases of water because we don’t have constant running water. There are plenty of people who are in the same situation and can’t get what they NEED because people have lost their dang minds.
Teresa Ellis were parked in my parents front yard right now. And are planning on venturing up to my land, it’s just that the RV is too large and we have to cut the trees back a little to get it into the property. We were in San Francisco but left before the shelter in place, our jobs are closed for 2-3 weeks
@@gigglesforter7163 Depending on what your jobs are, count on a lot longer than that. Some doctors and experts are talking about a minimum of July before we see even a semblance of normalcy. China has been trying to put it's workers back to work, and the numbers are going back up, and these are just what they admit to.
For folks in the Indianapolis area-there is a spring in Fishers on 116th street where you can fill up your containers for free
if the flour section hasnt run out - make your own No Knead Bread - easy recipe - most people should have it - or maybe Tawra should include it in her recipe section on line for easy access for those who dont have the recipe
That's OK but there is no flour 😂😂😂
@@henriettahenson - good grief - prepping i can understand and do it myself - but the downright greed and violence out there now is disgusting
I saw a lady make the no knead bread here on YT and figured I would give it a try. I am not a baker so I don't have flour (or yeast) on hand. Haven't been able to find it in stores for weeks. No flour no yeast no sugar either. Fortunately I do have sugar for my tea and my family 's coffee on hand.
Haven't found flour in weeks around here! Even the wholesalers who sell big bags to the public are out of stock and bakeries who would usually sell a bag aren't right now as they are worried about their own supply being affected. It's nuts
The deli and baked stuff there because it’s probably more expensive per pound than other stuff. I will not go to the stores for at least a few more days, and will buy fresh produce only, because I have everything else. So other people who don’t have canned stuff could buy it.
Hello my dear friends. I see here both of my wonderful families. Both of you ladies are very food wise. Thank you both. What a wise help you have been to all of us. Thank you.
Hi Dave. I hope you are staying safe and healthy. 👍❤️
Deli items are too expensive for people that need to eat "living on a dime." That's probably why deli options were more available on this video.
Please leave the gluten free for people that really need it! ❤
I’m not a vegetarian but some plant based meats are pretty good!!! I’m immuneCompromised and can’t go out forget ordering online thankfully I have some really good friends looking out for me!!! ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Jennifer Jones I cant eat that stuff. Its all soy and it messes with my hormone balance. My dr told me not to eat it. Or any soy.
My husband got a pack of toilet paper a week ago so exciting but he was scared someone might rob him walking to the car 😂😂😂😂 craaaaazy
There was a trucker that put a case of toilet paper on his empty flatbed trailer tied down with a strap. I'm surprised that someone didn't try to get it.
Toilet paper may be the new currency😂😂😂😂
@@simplyrise5217 haha it is a mad world at the moment
When I went to buy tolit paper and food a group of black s tryed to rob me the other day rt there at the parking lot of the store I was at they saw I bought 12 rolls people it's getting serious out here
Oh my goodness! Bless your hearts.
Time to buy Personal Bidets for your household (starting at$70+) online!!
HEY THERE Dining on a Dime Family.....Oh Yes ! Such a Handsome Bodyguard you have there, you're right....its like a train wreck. It's so sad there isn't more FAITH, as your Mom posted about what stress will do to a person's health , is SPOT ON. Watching your video was so nice to hear someone with common sense. You two are such a HOOT and CUTE as can be. Your Mom is Such a Treasure too. I love all of you and I'm grateful for all that you say and do. Sending Lots of HUGS your way. GOD BLESS !!
I live in a rural area and my husband and I live in a two and a half acres. We have a couple of horses 3 dogs and a few chickens. I think the time has come to use some of that good old soil to plant some vegetables. We won't be able to eat them now but they'll be there later this year. At times like these you stop and think:. Why didn't I do this before?
The stores I went in were the same. The deli, bakery, produce sections were full. That is why know people are hoarding and we are not having a food shortage. Turkeys and hams are filled to the brim but canned meats are sold out. Come on. I’m grocery shopping like I always have. And this too shall pass.
Pasta is durumflour and water and/or eggs make it yourself. IF you dont trave durum normal non rising flour Will work too.
Our Kroger has 3 item limit on everything and they are applying it across the bread department. I brought 2 bags of bagels, 2 loaves of bread, 1 bag of hamburger buns, and 2 bags of hot dog buns to the register and the cashier made me choose 3.😬. On a good note, the lines were short and the stocking levels were good with the exception of a few holes like flour. Plenty of TP though.😁
It's a good idea but could be a problem for those who are shopping for themselves and their elderly relatives/neighbors.
Auntie Gliz Good point. I bet they did not take that under consideration.
I'm on a well and frequently have power outages. That's why I sometimes buy water.
That's a great reason to buy water!
I have a well. I never buy bottled water. You just ned a mechanical well pump. Or a bucket on a rope.
Water in Saint Paul sometimes tastes like the Mississippi River...
This is going be hard for me because I have type 2 diabetes and I can't have sweets all the time
I'm type 2 also, scary times I know. Be well 😇💖
I am type 2 diabetic as well. High carb foods like rice, beans, bread, crackers, potatoes & most fruits SPIKE blood sugar so I don’t eat those- AT ALL. Meat, dairy & veggies & some berries. Carbs instigate a feeling hunger after the spike drops so eliminating them one won’t feel the need to eat as much & can do with less product. God bless you.
Me, too
OMG! You're right! I love to go see what has been panic purchased! My husband thinks I'm out of my mind. LOL!
It's a bit interesting, but not that smart to go to a place with that many people.
I am guilty of this myself
My water was shut off 3 times this year due to water main breaks thats why i have a few cases of water
In Hawaii: I live on the islands too where drought comes every year. People have two water tanks per house! They catch the rain all year. They use these tanks during drought seasons!
I'm in tucson and our water is horrible. Even makes the animal sick.. And had killed my plants 😱😱😱😱 but I put a water filter on the kitchen faucet. 👍👍
As for the bread. Just get quick yeast. Flour / sugar And make bread🍞.. Bread 🍞doesn't have a long shelf life anyway. I just went back to OLD SCHOOL COOKING making bread /flour tortillas .. And fry bread for tacos. 🌮🥐🥖🍞 🙂🙂🙂 I always keep dry milk for cooking & just for the kids in a pinch.. For there cereal .. 🥛🥛
I'm with 🙄🤦🤦🤦🤦u on the toilet paper & paper towels ..🤦 Hello people u can't eat them.. And if ur locked in ur home and RUN OUT🤷🤷 just wash ur BUM.. 😱🙄 this is a really good time to teach ur kids to cook all so.. And family Rebonding😀😀😀🙂
Just my opinion . Lol stay safe & healthy.. 🦎🌵🌻🐥🌻🌵🦎
God Bless.. Have a Blessed week

I love the recommendations you make. It always surprises me, all the options I dont think of. You remind me and help me so much. I am on a fixed income and wish I could afford you book, but I get many great ideas from your videos. Thanks to you and Mike.
We have most of the recipes and tips on our website also. www.LivingOnADime.com
If I had more money I would go looking for more things hard when on ss
Thank you for being a voice of reason in crazy times!
I want TH-cam's to make meals of what's left on shelves and eat it!!!
mary shaffer right? I would love that.
I’m in CA so loving those prices! 😯❤️
Try and save the gluten free stuff for us cursed with Celiac. Thx for letting us know there is some gluten free items left. God blessed us all and thx for being uplifting
yes! Celiac here, it's selfish to buy up GF pasta when you don't need it. We have NO CHOICE
Those were helpful tips thanks!
I made a double batch of your baking mix tonight then I made turkey pot pie with leftover turkey soup from tonight’s dinner.
Oh I made 2 pot pies. One is in the fridge for tomorrow and one is all wrapped up and in the freezer for another night
We have an autistic child in the family who only can tolerate one kind of a drink product (not milk). It is only sold in 2 chains here in Florida, Publix and Walmart. We (I am his aunt) have been scouring the local stores and thankfully found 3 gallons of this product the other night. He does drink water, but we will all continue to look for this product as long as it is something we can get for him. The real problem is that it is in the cold drink aisle only. Not like Hawaiian Punch which is sold at room temps.
What is the name of the drink? Is this an allergy or he just only wants this drink? You probably said, but how old? Should things go really south... & this is a health issue looks like only water. It might be wise to limit the amount in a day. If neccessary make little freezer pops with him helping and he can have one a day to stretch it out.
@tiger Davies doesn't work that way for autistic people.
@@edefyinggravity With autistic people (ours is 7 years old) they have heightened senses of some things - texture, taste, color, etc. and are very aware. Bubba is 7 and he is bright, but nonverbal. IF we could substitute chocolate milk or yoohoo or something like that, it would be done and the family would have choices as we enter this crisis.
Peggy Hall, they do limit the amount he can have in a day, but at the end of the day, or week or whenever what is on hand is gone, it's gone. And it makes a difference to him. You mentioned freezer pops - he just doesn't know what to do with them, and again, think texture and coldness - can't do it.
Tiger Davies - they transfer from the original container to his cup without him seeing what he is getting. It would be like giving me homebrewed ice (which is the only thing I drink) or Peak Tea or even Arnold Palmer tea (which I tolerate). I know the difference and so does he.
This reminds me a little bit of Twilight Zones episode of The Midnight Sun.
Yes me too. Try fighting
over a can of juice!
I love the twilight zone. Gotta check that one out‼️. Thanks Miss Bee🙏🏻‼️🤗
you know i dont understand why its so hard for people to listen to cdc and trump ? they have told anyone that is the age of 65 and older to stay home? but i have seen a lot of elderly people that are in stores and restaurant?
I live in the grocery-abundant region of Northern California-and I cannot find any flour or yeast in any stores or online. I try every day. Thanks for these great tips. If anyone has the skills to get through these times it is your family. Your videos helped me through a time of zero-income leave from work last year. Now back at work, I’m at home with a dwindling pantry, and I do my best. Has anyone made oat flour from oats? I’ve never tried to but am willing to test it out.
The microwave packages of pasta or rice are always there! Sometimes they’re 2 for a dollar or something! The pasta is really good, my husband likes those! The flavored rice packs are good too and those are always cheap! I can eat a bag myself if the Spanish rice, put some cheese and salsa on it and I’m super full!
P.S. People are buying the cheap pizzas but plenty of the more expensive pizzas I’d you can afford it. And you can go through to self checkout, Kroger will over ride the stupid alert over 20 items!
Thanks for keeping us entertained
You're at the supermarket twice in one day?
No wonder the virus is spreading so rapidly throughout the U.S.
Judge people much?
... as if your president Trump was not responsible at all, right? In Spain we were dying 900 people each day but for Trump it's just a flu.
Sometimes you have to drive around to find food
Just throwing out tomato juice can also be used in a pinch for soups etc. I was raised knowing how to stock up and to make substitutions. I also buy whole turkeys and hams
on sale--freeze them and then bake them during the year for meals and sandwich meat. Same for whole chickens on sale.
Thank you for your video! I am blessed to be on this NJ mountain where the water is from the well since the Indian tribes!
The Beyond Burger display was untouched at our Kroger as well ;)
Jessica Zaborski hope they mark it down cause I would make a run on it! Lol I have to eat plant based because of health reasons.
That LightLife plant-based "meat" is great, and allows us as vegans to eat "regular " dishes like sloppy joes and spaghetti.
Good suggestions! Thank you!
And freeze ur fruits and veggies that are freeze worthy - even frozen grapes are good
I am a guy and I have to say mind opened and blown at the same time. Very good advice will take it.
Luv you guys👍..bought a bag of frozen sausage patties for breakfast on sale got home made the mistake of letting the dog out while I brought in the bags. Didn't notice the bag had dropped out on the grass until I went back out...completely gone enough for a months breakfast...Lol. I may need to deworm the doggie. He did look guilty👍
Great tips!
We only import 10% of our toilet paper in the US, I don’t understand the rush on that either. Maybe people think that utility workers not coming to work will shut off the water?
I have not done that but I kinda see why folks are panicking ( a little bit ) in the event we're told we cannot leave the house at all. I don't think that's gonna happen everywhere but it's already happened a few places. I panic in normal times if I see a hole in my pantry shelves LOL. I've only had a pantry for 3 years now. I made a Mexican meal with NO BLACK OLIVES. Oh the humanity. LOL today my hubby hit Target early morning and as folks went in they were told, No running, no pushing, no shoving. LOL. hope it's over soon. As recent hurricane Michael post survivors ( we lost 200 bucks worth of food in fridge and freezer ) it's not fun at all.
I went to the store the meat section was fine today but, there was no pasta, paper towels or TP😳 also no tortillas but I have the LOAD cook book and everything I’ve made have been so yummy! Thank you Tawra! 😊❤️
The moving truck joke made my ice coffee fly out of my nose... thanks
This video was packed with info! Never thought to buy frozen hamburgers and mash them up for ground beef. Also to go to deli and bakery. All those bakery products could be frozen, muffins pies donuts and bread. Also the pre cooked chicken could be deboned and frozen. And your tip on bullion and cut up lasagna noodles... spot on! Thank u for an informative video!!!
Our local meat market cant even keep meat in stock each shipment they get they are out by the end of the day. We ended up finding other options as well for meat we went as far as buying a Turkey and plan to make meals out of it, its just as you said its just finding other things that will work just as well as the other. Thanks for the video and wonderful tips
I also shop around, since people clear out Fred Meyer, Safeway/Albertsons, Walmart, Winco, and similar stores, I find going to places like Grocery Outlet and Dollar Stores.
Thank you for your great wisdom.
Nice to see that Americans are just as crazy as we Brits....what are we going to eat when all the toilet paper is gone....oh no catastrophic!!!! 🤣🤣🤣❤️
Lol
😂😂😂
People are devastated here in NW Arkansas. The stores are wiped out still and this is like day 5 or 6 of no eggs, no toilet paper, no canned meat, no dried rice, no milk, no water, no cleaning supplies, no beans, no pasta, no soups, no bananas.
We have candy, apples, oranges.
Thanks for the video.
I found one package of RV toilet paper in the automotive section.
Freddy Hollingsworth it’s like that over here in England,not so bad where I live in Wales 🏴
I was at the Office Depot the other day in Fayetteville and they were even out of toilet paper.
New to your channel today and I've now subscribed. I live in WNC in a tiny town near Asheville. Our stores here are sorely lacking. Today is my 13th day at home, however, I have other friends that go to the grocery stores. No meat or dairy (don't think I didn't notice those turkeys in your video!) but a lot of fresh produce. No bread. No t.p., p. towels or tissues. Thanks for the update in your neck of the woods! E.
I went to walmart today to see how empty the store was, what surprised me the most was that our store was sold out of all the ice cream! Out of all things people stock bought, ice cream...
Comfort food I guess. ~ Heidi
Good to have some comfort foods, too, in case you're stuck in the house for a couple of weeks (or longer).
Just when I thought most of us could stand to lose a few pounds during this hysteria...not happening 🤣🤣🤣
Well, if milk and cheese are gone, it can be a good source of dairy.
Stay home. Stay healthy.
Thank you!
Glad some one else is sane. Great video. You make good vlogs
Someday we will be able to tell the Great Grandkids about the Great Toilet Paper Famine of 2020! LOL
Thanks for the video. Our stores look the same. Crazy times. Yes, why people are getting water is crazy. All the preppers are really getting to use what they have on hand. I have some of that the large cans of 35 year foods. I can get into some of those for sure. I also have canned beans and potatoes and hamburger meat. I think this all may be a wake up call for people who don't stockup and may now after all this is done. Thanks !!
Buying/storing water is a part of self reliance. Unless you have a well, water is literally out of your control. Just a tid bit of logic behind water preparedness😬
Hopefully you buy enough water to flush all you hoarded toilet paper away since you are following that path of logic. City water and sewer will continue to operate in this situation...I’m certain of it. Earthquakes, floods and fires are not what we are dealing with at this time. AND the safety of the water supply is not in question.
D. Vaders luckily I haven’t had to buy anything. I’m from the country and maintaining sustainable living is just the way I was raised. No hoarding or scrambling. Ha just a person who believes in preparation to avoid the scenarios we’ve been witnessing in recent weeks.
My water was shut off 3 times this year due to water main breaks thats why i have a few cases of water
@@d.vaders1178 so what happens if theres a hurricane or earthquake during this?
@@inhawaii4941 We all should ALREADY have our minimum two weeks natural disasters supplies at hand. Living in Seattle it is always a threat so we have the 55 gallon trash can emergency kit ready but that is SURVIVAL level preparedness. Our families best friends are in Kona and Maui so I know that most Hawaiian people are serious about being ready to weather the storms and earthquakes also because of the very real threats every day there. This however is simply a shelter in place situation. My house has endured a 2week situation each and every year...typically snow or severe wind storms. In 2007 we went 15 days without power. Day 16 the power came back on and day 17 it went out again for another 14 days. We were buried in 4 feet of snow at 17 degrees and could not drive out for 3 weeks total. We were trapped, literally with no help available. We lived in the house until kerosene ran out then moved to the rv as it had propane. We now have generators and a wood stove and 2 cords too much wood each year. I know what country living is about. Too many have no clue and no backup measures in place. We are not SHTF preppers but are prepared to live in a tent in a blizzard if an earthquake happens during this virus event. We are country folks who have experienced it all and know that help will not come to us for some time. I just don’t see the need for an added large stock of 16 oz bottled water and a years worth of Costco tp. It has to come down to rationing in survival scenarios. If an earthquake happens, do people have a bucket and bags or a shovel to make a toilet? Do they have a camp burner and lp fuel canister to wash for proper virus hygiene? The answer is most likely no for 80% of Americans. What I hope is that this occurance will engage people to ACTUALLY make a 2 week survival kit (like they have been advised to do repeatedly) and discern the difference between survival and shelter in place. I have found our weakness...I am decidedly disappointed in our ice cream and vodka preparedness. I have two weeks ice cream supply left but NO toppings and only half a bottle of martini magic elixir then I have to drink scotch. That will change going forward. Blessings to all. I for one pray that no one needs the two week “survival” kit for any reason, let alone now.
Some people don't like tap water cuz all the floride, and chemicals in it, and if one doesn't have osmosis.
They need to get over it, now!
Distille it
Nice video. I wanted potatoes on Sunday. I had to go to the freezer section. Two stores were totally out of potatoes. It'll only get weirder. :/
I do want to say just one thing about the water. I agree completely, most people can drink tap water with no issue. In my house, however, we cannot - or at least my husband and a couple of our children can't. We live inside city limits, and the tap water is treated with chlorine, which causes them to have kidney and breathing issues due to being allergic to the chemicals. For this reason, we cannot use bleach in our home either. So I do buy bottled water for them to drink, or for the kettle or drink pitchers that they use regularly. I also buy bleach alternative cleaners, and we all tend to use gloves when cleaning with clorox or lysol wipes - just to be cautious for our skin. I love your tips though - you guys are amazing!
Do you live in the city?? I was at the store in my town 2 times this week and there was more than enough food on the shelves and plenty of meat. I did buy frozen dough last week just in case we needed it. We live in NH .
I am going tomorrow to get some groceries for my mom and dad. Hope it is better than your area. My parents are not leaving because they are in the age group that is having the trouble. So the rest of us in the area will deliver to the front porch if need be.
I know one thing about self check out (at least ours here) they won't run WIC cards. You are required to go through an actual register.
Your husband has a beautiful smile.Very handsome couple.

Keep up the good work, we have a surplus of non meat in Montana as well! Tons of gluten free as well.
You two are so cute...thanks for your channel and tips. Stay healthy
I live in Northwest North Dakota tap water is polluted. So we have 6 of those 5 gallon refillable jugs makes life easier.
I said the exact same thing about the grocery store. I'm so stinkin curious what it's like 😆
That's funny what meat was left in your store, I live in Alabama and went to the store today and found frozen turkeys at $1.49 lb and corned beef briskets.
I don't know about everyone else, but I buy water because I take two or three bottles of water to work a day. There's no room in our fridge for me to fill reusable bottles, and that's just something else to wash when I come home tired from a possible 10 hour shift.
I’m in Missouri. Schools closed til Aug, restaurants closed except for drive thru, churches closed only streaming, no more in Than 10 people can gather, many many businesses completely closed. CRAZY!!!!!
Why is school closed until August? Isn't Missouri just have 6 cases of Covid19?
But necessary.
@@suong534 they won't if the schools stay open. They'll have 6000 cases.
Love your sense of humour, you guys are great! Love all your ideas so helpful.
Having stocked up as the virus news got worse, I have restricted myself to my home as of about a week ago. I am not seeing anyone, and have to stay away from everything. I did place an order online for pet food and pet supplies. Fresh items are the hardest, as they cannot be stored for long periods unless you have a very large refrigerator, and I don't. I have a teeny one. I wish there were some outdoor farmers markets so I didn't have to go into the stores and risk getting infected. I wish I had a burka with wrap around goggles.
That turkey at $1.49# made me jealous. That was a great buy and could feed a family of 4 meat for a week. We went for our regular shop 8 days ago and I was laughing out loud the whole time at what products were bare shelved. I even had to say out loud “Are you #$@&’&@ kidding?” Kraft Mac and cheese, chef-boy-r-dee, Compleats and top ramen offer NO nutritional support for ones body to prepare to fight an illness. Crazy. Absolutely Cray-Cray!
While I love your humor and do agree with almost all you say and am thankful you're putting the information on here, in answer to your question as to why some of us buy bottled water, some of us do it *because* we use our brains. Some of us have wells and that means if the power goes out, we have no water (well pump runs on electricity), I started a month ago gradually collecting about a 2-week supply of water and a month or two of food, supplies, and the medications (90-day supply of prescription meds plus some over-the-counter ones) that we may need in case of quarantine or disruption of various services. It was easy to see a month ago that this would become widespread and then to understand that if Italy and China needed to be shut down, it could happen here, too, and that we would ALL need to stay out of public as much as possible and/or be quarantined at home for 2 weeks at a minimum. At no time in my fairly early preparations did I panic or take the last or almost the last of anything like people are forced to do now. As soon as we can, we'll get a generator for future outages/crises. I will also use the couple of empty containers I have here that would work for bottling our tap water for future use (after boiling it, letting it cool, and adding a couple of drops of regular unscented bleach). For those without a Bible, biblegateway.com is one of many web sites where they can read it, and they can also listen to it via many TH-cam sites if they prefer those ways.
As stated in the video MOST not ALL water is safe to drink in the US. If you need it get but if you don't you're being ridiculous.
I thought since you asked the question, you wanted an answer. You're welcome.
Auntie Gliz , Of course you need to store some water, especially if you have a well! 👍
O pot roast I would definitely use thatand I will take a couple of those turkeys to if I had the room or do cruiser outside that would be good thing to use
I bought yeast and flour making my own
😀👍
Yes me too Flour is going to be very expensive soon see iceage farmer
You two are the best, so funny 😂 Tawra I would kill for your complexion.
This is happening here in the UK and its got to the point where essentials are now rationed
As for the plant based substitutes not being bought well needs must at times, I like them myself as I'm not a big meat eater, I eat meat may twice a week.
Bloody madness if you ask me!
Panic stopped last week in Norway. All is stocked up again.
A light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks.
AWESOME !! Could you guys float us some toilet paper?
my stores dont even have a bag of potatoes , i buy water cause it smells to strong of bleach , and TP i guess people are afraid it will be quarantined and want be able to go out and buy TP.
If it smells like bleach let it sit out open for 24 hrs. and the bleach will evaporate.
