Great video Kevin! Water is so important to sustain life. A hand pump on a well is an option for well owners if the power goes down. Praying for you and Michelle. Thank you for posting. Always look forward to your talks!
BEST-BY dates are NOT 'expiration' dates. My second son, with his wife and 4 yr old autistic son, is driving about 3600 KM because he got a job closer to us, which puts my mind at ease for when things go badly. Their house needs to sell,and they need to find a nice place to stay in the meantime before they can buy one here. Prayers appreciated for all of us, as you are in mine. Thank you.
Hiya Michelle and Kevin. When I get any sweets I will put a small amount in snack sized baggies and pitch, Yes Literally pitch, the bags into random places in my freezer. That way I either have to hunt for them or I get an occasional treat when I happen to find a bag while prepping dinner. I have a bag that any empty used baggies are stored until I need them or they rip apart
If you purchase your pop at Shoppers drug mart, they have the 18 packs for 8.79 and you can collect optimum points on your purchases that can be used towards groceries, gas etc.😊

Great job! I have a bunch of the "life straws" too. I have 4 adults and a young child in my family to think of. Water is what I worry about the most if anything goes sideways everything else is easy to store.
I shop a lot from Walmart and Have it delivered……I do this because I have a Severe Spine Disease and walk completely bent Over it’s very Hard to Go Out….I LOVE this so much it helps me & My Mom who is turning 81 on July 1st…. She also put in a Generator in Our Home so if the Power goes out We have this and It’s a Huge 1 so that everything in Our Home Stays on…..It’s did cost a Pretty Penny but worth it in the event We would lose power….. In Today’s World You Never Know….As U know the 🇺🇸 is going thru Hard times this coming Up Election Our Country is divided And We are seeing it being Destroyed….What We do have is a President with NO MIND and another President looking at Jail time… What a Mess We have…… Sending Love from Virginia 🌹
Hope you’re both well? It’s definitely very hot up your way and we’re in the cold now in NZ. Thank you for the emergency reminders. I have plenty of water but no life straws. I will have to look into them. Take care.
Awesome video Kevin and you got a really nice shopping haul with a lot of good stuff. And i have to agree with you about that water is crucial you will not last long without water. And those water treatment pills do not purify the water they disinfect the water and to purify the water you need a filter for that and that is what i have learned. Take care my friend and stay safe God bless to both of you.
Hi Kevin and Michelle! Good topic today. My water pump went out yesterday. I thought I had a good stash of water in the basement. Well we went through it pretty fast. With making supper, washing dishes and spit washes or all before bed, not to mention drinking water for dogs and cats. We have pretty much used it all!❤️🇨🇦
Wow! That sure is a wake up call eh? Hopefully you can get your pump sorted out asap and now you have a better understanding of what you need to have. I’m not sure if we could ever have enough though. God bless.
My mother-in-law one day brought up that she was watching your videos. She said you were in F’ton and she loved seeing prices of stuff in NB. I’m originally from Riverview and moved to Ontario in 2006. I love watching your videos just to see prices of groceries back home compared to the town I live in now. Your prep in an emergency videos are awesome too! Keep those videos coming!❤❤
Thank you very much. I used to deliver in Riverview all the time. I hearing from people who are from here. Thank you very much for watching and commenting.
Very good advice regarding water! We have a well and are looking at ways to pull water from it without electricity...but we also have a small lake and a Berkey filter so I hope we've got it covered...
hello sir, nice haul 😊 I totally agree with you water is one of the most important prepper items 👍we have a small storage space full to the brim. hope you guys doing OK. I'm checking your wife cooking channel. and wow I could listen to her talk for hours ❤she reminds me those lovely females narrators of the 80' commercials. please take care God bless us all 🙏
Hi there. So glad to hear from you. I am praying for you and your family daily. Yes water is crucial for survival. 🙏🏻🙏🏻. Thank you very much for your kind words about Michelle and her lovely voice. We are ok thank you. How could we ever complain when we know what you and your countrymen are going through. May the Lord bless you all. Don’t be a stranger.
I think that’s butter crunch lettuce, if I’m not mistaken. Good idea on the straw. I keep water in the house but it wouldn’t be enough for what’s going on in Calgary. Thank you so much for the special prayers - Tania
Hi Kevin, Check out the Water Bob. It’s a bladder the size of your bathtub that you can fill with water for an emergency. You don’t need to worry about the drain leaking.
Hi there. Thank you. I have never heard of a Water Bob. I will look into it. I hope that your water is sorted out soon. That is scary for sure. Thank you for watching and commenting.
A tip for filtering water that I heard on another video is to use ciffee filters to filter out large debris from your water before filtering it through a Life Straw of cup filter. It saves the filter from getting clogged up as fast, prolonging its life. Thanks for sharing your hauls and tips about water storage. ❤ and 🙏
Just a thought on the water: like you I have town water that is heavily treated. SO those refilled bottles can be used for cleaning - dishes, sponge baths, and yes you can even use it for cooking. For drinking - try leaving the cap off for a few hours. Supposedly the chemical taste evaporates? Dunno for sure but it can't hurt.
I’m in the process of looking for the life straws to order that you just shown on this video. Love your videos I always find something to order. So far I been loving the cookbooks that Michelle has shown on her channel and the egg cooker from your videos.thank you for the information that you provide to us. I Found this stuff and also found the poutine gravy mix on amazon plus the water purification tablets , I just ordered them .
I am very happy that I can be of some assistance to you. Those life straws are a very good thing. They will serve you well should you ever need them and the tablets work well also. I must get more myself. I am very happy that you are watching and enjoying Michelles channel. 🙏🏻
I have a well and am going to look into installing an old fashioned hand pump that mounts on top of the well head to pump water. It can be done, I'm just not sure if there is a company that does it in my area.
I love Poutine! I asked a Canadian friend a few years back about it and when she visited, she brought the makings for me.I have been using my own gravy to make it, but I have not made it in years. Your price is very good on potatoes. They keep rising here. We're in the 90s all week.
There are containers you put in your tub and you fill that with water. Now worries about the drain corrosion. Also your hot water tank water can be used 40 to 50 gal
M & M was always expensive, the portions are smaller now. I try to only buy what is on sale. I meant to ask if Michelle liked their Sweet Potatoes, I did not but I do like their regular potatoes. I have had problems getting good potatoes from our grocery store, so I depend on them for back-up. I am also in an apartment, I finally purged clothing "I will wear someday" to make room in my closets for storage. I have under the bed storage containers. I have a Zero Water container, boy have filters ever increased in price, but they do last 6 months.
Michelle, the ever cautious shopper buys most things from M&M on sale. But not all. Those sweet potatoes were a colossal fail. But most of their products are great. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Filling the tub works if you know ahead of time that your water supply may go out. But you don't always know in advance. We started getting serious about stashing water after a water line break. This has now happened several times here in the last few years. Fortunately water service was restored in less than a day each time. But the unexpected outages were easier to deal with when we had the extra water stored.
All your food, preps, and cans that you can open and ready to eat… Will come in handy if the power collapses from all this heat! Good on you guys for staying stocked up. On a sidenote… You’re looking thinner these days Kevin 🦋
32 in cape breton today we were cooler longer then you guys my cousin lives in oromocto lol and it was like snap of the fingers turned the weather thats typical of the island i got the ac in yesterday just in time i keep forgetting to chefk m&m flyers
Just thinking that I haven’t seen you in a while+ there you were this morning! Glad work is going well. Wondering if you are growing vegetables on the balcony again this year? It was 98 degrees in Boston yesterday! Blessings to you+ Michelle ❤.
The tablets you have to purify water cannot be used continuously because of the chlorine or iodine in them. You can start having health problems. I bought a bunch of bottles to have on hand until I learned this. I will still use them but not long term.
Thanks to you both, and God’s blessings 🙏🏻

I normally keep 10 case's of 40 count of water and 2 gallon jugs for cooking and coffee. Prayers and hugs and belly rubs for the kitty ❤ .
Good idea. We cannot have too much on hand.

Thank you and you are welcome.
I have a Seychelle survival bottle. Will filter any kind of water except salt. Filters 100 gallons.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. I’m always looking for more options.
Nice haul! Hope your all well! Be safe out there! God bless! ❤❤

Thank you. Your welcome.

Hello Michelle and Kevin yes Calgary is in a real mess these days
I’m hearing that. What pray tell has happened?
I love Poutine! I asked a Canadian friend a few years back about it and when she visited, she brought the makings for me.I have been using my own gravy to make it, but I have not made it in years.
Your price is very good on potatoes. They keep rising here.

Being prepared is a must. Thank you very much for watching and sharing your experience.
Kevin that head of lettuce looks to me like "watercrest" as we call it here in the states.
Thank you. It may well be. I will just call it yummy.
It’s plain old leaf lettuce!
All your food, preps, and cans that you can open and ready to eat… Will come in handy if the power collapses from all this heat! Good on you guys for staying stocked up. On a sidenote… You’re looking thinner these days Kevin 🦋
32 in cape breton today we were cooler longer then you guys my cousin lives in oromocto lol and it was like snap of the fingers turned the weather thats typical of the island i got the ac in yesterday just in time i keep forgetting to chefk m&m flyers
37 today. It was hot really. Good job on the AC. It’s that time of the year. Thank you for sharing.
Poor calgary is going to have a wster shortage my sister lives there and a main line broke and its 3 to 5 weeks to fix
Yes they are in a mess. Praying they get that sorted out quickly.
Just thinking that I haven’t seen you in a while+ there you were this morning! Glad work is going well. Wondering if you are growing vegetables on the balcony again this year? It was 98 degrees in Boston yesterday! Blessings to you+ Michelle ❤.
I’m fairly new to your channel & enjoy watching your videos so I just wanted to say hi from British Columbia 🇨🇦
Welcome!! 😊
The tablets you have to purify water cannot be used continuously because of the chlorine or iodine in them. You can start having health problems. I bought a bunch of bottles to have on hand until I learned this. I will still use them but not long term.
You’re turning into a prepper Kevin
The French fries are crazy cheap esp in canadian dollars. Over 4.00 here on the states if you can find them
Oh my! That is a lot.
Thank you.
Where do you live that you can't find frozen french fries?
You sure could stack a bunch of those 4 liter bottles of water above those cupboards behind you.
My weakness is Lays Baked Chips !
I understand believe me.
