DIY 2 Week Emergency Food Kit For $13...Cheapest Survival Meal Kit SHTF Prepping Price food Alaska
hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper are you worried about prepping for the future emergency
preparedness thinking food is too expensive maybe it's too late to be a prepper maybe you can't
afford food prepping supplies I've noticed people are leaving comments on my channel they can't
afford to do any prepping food costs too much that is a reality food is becoming more and more
expensive but if we don't scrape together a little bit of money today for prepping buy food what
are we going to do in the future if we still don't have any money but food costs even more
so that's one of the reasons why it's important to buy extra food today we can see food prices
going up if you buy stock up on food a little at a time keep adding a little tiny bit food at a time
over time food becomes a substantial stockpile amount of food you would be pleasantly surprised
on how many meals you can make out of that food stockpile if you plan buy food strategically I
just went to Walmart store I bought enough food to have 14 days worth of emergency
Basic Foods I spent thirteen dollars and 23 cents Walmart would you think you could get two weeks
of food for 13.23 it's probably not your favorite food wouldn't have the most variety food it could
certainly be enough food keep you alive if you had nothing else to eat we are still going to
be able to have something else more food you can add what other bits and pieces of food that you
can get maybe you can grow maybe you have other Foods on hand then you can make your meals bigger
and better let me show you the absolute Bare Bones five food items buy now stockpile that
could keep you fed for two weeks 14 days for less than a dollar a day Walmart I started with a five
pound bag of rice bag of rice has 115 servings of rice for a total of 8 000 calories that's a
fair amount of food that most of us could have but if you chose to eat less rice you could have
this food last even longer remember if you have additional food that you grow in your garden food
from a food bank or food you have in your pantry or you still can buy some food in the future you
can make this food last longer so the first item is a five pound bag of rice that I paid 3.82 cents
next food I bought a two pound bag of black beans this was the only beans Walmart that came in a two
pound bag all of the other Walmart beans came in a one pound bag except Walmart giant bags of pinto
beans but this was the only dried beans that I could find in a two pound bag and it was a much
better deal price black beans than buying a one pound bag it was a much better price per pound
the two pound bag of black beans has 26 servings for 2 600 calories so you can start combining your
rice and beans and not only are you getting all of the amino acids that you want you're
also getting a great combination of carbs and protein the two pound bag of black beans is 3.56
next I bought a bag of Great Northern beans it's nice to have a different
variety Great Northern beans has 13 servings for 1 300 calories Walmart Great Northern beans were a
little more expensive than other beans that they had Walmart shopping in Alaska at Walmart this
one pound bag was 2.57 do you remember when you could go into a store and you could get any kind
of dried beans for a dollar a pound those days seem to be long gone where I've been shopping
even when I look for bargains and discounts you may be able to find grocery stores with
less expensive prices than Alaska which would make your meal kit be even a better bargain
than Alaska grocery prices next I bought a bag of pinto beans pinto beans has 13 servings for 1 300
calories pinto beans are something you can find in a much bigger bag for more dollars of course but
a better price per pound but I just went with the one pound pinto beans try to get my kit complete I
paid 1.54 cents for 1 pound of pinto beans Alaska food prices you may be able to buy food dried
beans for less money than that next I bought a bag of lentils Walmart lentils have 13 servings
calorie count is 1430 calories the price of the lentils Walmart a dollar 74. lentils are a nice
option emergency meal kit lentils are still in the legume family but compared to other beans lentils
are going to cook much faster than dry beans you only need 30 or 40 minutes to cook lentils lentils
are loaded with protein lentils are going to give you a nice variety from other beans that you have
in your food storage stockpile prepper Pantry stockpile all of these Foods together equal
fourteen thousand six hundred thirty calories if you were in a survival situation you could have
1045 calories a day and these Foods would last for two whole weeks 14 days if you wanted more
food to eat a higher calorie count for each day this emergency meal kit could last for seven days
for 2090 calories per day if you wanted this emergency meal kit food to last for 14 days
you could have eight servings per day you wanted bigger meals over seven days you could have about
16 and one half servings of the beans rice and lentils you're going to need a lot of water to
prepare these foods but they're not going to be as boring as if you just had one bag of rice and
one bag of say pinto beans you're going to have more variety because every different kind of bean
including the lentils has a little bit different flavor profile so you're adding variety into your
meals just by having different types of beans almost everyone has some kind of seasonings in
their pantry and that can help make these Foods taste better and more delicious so if you don't
have any kind of seasonings or you're running low pay attention to what spices and Seasonings you
use most often and try to pick up a few extras so that you have those to go with your basic cooking
is this going to be the most nutritious 14-day emergency meal kit no but you can stay alive
just eating the rice and beans and like I said if you get other foods you can grow some maybe you
can forage for some maybe you can get some from a food bank or overtime time you can add a few other
canned and packaged items into your prepper Pantry food storage stockpile and then you'll be able to
make bigger meals stretch these emergency meal kit Foods out to last longer and feel more confident
about what you're doing it's not quite enough to just bring these five foods home and put them away
in your pantry you want to seal the emergency meal kit foods up store food the best you can so foods
are going to last the longest Foods need to be stored in a cool dark dry place in an airtight
container so what are some choices how to store food to last you could store emergency meal kit
Foods into clean empty jar put the lid on tight it doesn't have to be a brand new jar it can be a jar
that you recycle out of other foods that you have on hand clean those jars well the hardest thing
sometimes is getting the odors out of the lid Summer's here put the lids out in the sunshine
try soaking lids in vinegar put lids through the dishwasher a few times eventually a lot of those
foods you can get this scent and aroma out of the lids when you go to the store go over to
the bakery department ask them for an empty bucket they many times will give 5 gallon bucket to you
but not always ask politely I was able to get this smaller size bucket that I can put emergency meal
kit foods into the bucket this is a nice tight fitting lid lid has a rubber gasket that's going
to help keep the air out while it's great if you have mylar bags and oxygen absorbers to
help foods last longer it's not necessary for you to buy these foods and put them away the best you
can then if you have options of better ways to store it in the future you can always do that
but remember the point is to get some food and store it the best you can while you can and then
you'll have that extra emergency meal kit food and the time to figure out what you would like
to do next another option look in your cupboards and closets maybe you have a plastic bin with a
tight fitting lid you're not using it or you're not don't need the things that are in it anymore
and you can repurpose that plastic container you can load it up with your emergency meal kit beans
and rice put on the lid close it up and no it's not the most airtight container but it's
certainly going to be better than just a bag on the Shelf look over the food containers you have
be creative try to find hard sided containers with tight fitting lids and fill them up with some of
your extra food you can store emergency meal kit in the back of a closet under your bed in an empty
cabinet keep track of where you put emergency meal kit food that's one of my problems I don't have a
big house I don't have one of those giant pantries and I end up stashing food prepping supplies away
in unusual places sometimes food get lost in the shuffle I don't quite remember where everything is
that's one of the challenges of being a prepper so when we look at news it's so gloom and doom
and sometimes we let that get into our heart and we feel like we are defeated you can't do that
don't destroy your own hope for the future and suck the energy out of yourself with negative
thoughts figure out how can I plan for the future so that I'll be able to take care of myself and
make the best out of each day we want to enjoy the life that we have we don't want to crush
our own dreams we want to take care of ourselves and go forward trying to make each day the best
we can that's why I'm a prepper I want every day to be the best I'm not looking forward to
gloom and doom and I don't want to focus on those things I want to look forward that I'm going to be
okay because I'm preparing the way to smooth it out food storage is Lifestyle Insurance so that
