4 prepper pantry hauls $20 meal hauls ideas recipes SHTF food stockpile hi it's
AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper i've been working on my prepper pantry and my food storage stockpile
i came up with a few food haul ideas on how you could add seven meals to your prepper pantry
so that you are growing your stockpile for approximately twenty dollars a week
it's getting harder and harder to find food that's affordable and so the more you can stock
up now add to prepper pantry stockpile while we know prices are going up the more money you're
going to save in the future you'll also have peace of mind that you have food for your family
here are a few meal idea suggestions cooking with prepper pantry foods first how about breakfast for
a week you could buy a box of oatmeal maybe some raisins or craisins that's how i like to serve
oatmeal along with oatmeal buy the beverages that you enjoy serving for breakfast maybe you like
hot chocolate maybe you like coffee maybe you like tea or tang juice for approximately twenty
dollars you could have breakfast for at least a week depending on how many people in your family
are going to consume it a box of oatmeal has 30 servings so you could really get a lot of meals
out of a box of oatmeal what about lunch cans of chunky soup here's a variety of
seven different kinds of chunky soup and then the accoutrements that you could serve them use soup
as a topping you can find soups in all kinds of varieties flavors chicken beef vegetables
minestrone spicy soups then you buy extra prepper pantry foods to bulk up your meal
you can heat up your soup and pour it over instant mashed potatoes stir in some pasta you could serve
chunky soup over rice i've been storing a lot of Idahoan instant mashed potatoes i like the idahoan
instant mashed potatoes you only need water i've been storing lots of packages of instant potatoes
I store them away in an airtight container like a five gallon bucket or a plastic container
and then i've had Idahoan mashed potatoes last several years past the date on them it's a good
idea to continue to have a plan to rotate stored food i prefer to buy Idahoan mashed potatoes baby
reds because the fewer extra ingredients in them the longer they seem to last if you have
things like bacon or cheese whatever they put in them they don't seem to last as long because those
additional ingredients in mashed potatoes tend to become rancid or spoiled and that's been my
experience so i prefer to buy Idahoan baby reds if you want the other kind go ahead and get them but
just rotate them sooner date on the package store your pastas and your rice in an airtight container
pasta rice can last for many years as well with seven cans of soup some mashed potatoes some pasta
some rice you could have a meal on the table every day for seven days you would have a week's worth
of food $20 how about the Knorr sides you can have Knorr pasta sides you can also find Knorr
rice sides and they come in all different flavors you can get butter and herb pesto creamy chicken
red beans and rice teriyaki look through the variety at the store find flavors that you enjoy
look for Knorr sides that have pasta some that have rice and i discovered they don't put them
together in the market they put the Knorr pastas on the pasta aisle and they put the Knorr rice on
the rice aisle so sometimes you may think they don't have as many of a variety and they do you
just have to look for them in two different places then you can get the small cans of meat you used
to be able to get a small can of meat for about a dollar but that's getting to be harder and harder
just like you used to be able to get Knorr sides for a dollar and now i think they're a dollar 32
or 38 or something so it's getting harder to buy food that you could have a meal every day
for twenty dollars but you can keep trying add some extra vegetables maybe you even want to add
some spicy tomatoes into some red beans and rice and then you can have a bigger better fuller meal
and so that's a suggestion of choose some Knorr sides get some cans of meat and a side
of vegetables and then you'll have seven meals put away in your prepper pantry $20 you could eat one
of meal a week and then you have a meal for seven weeks or you could use them every day for a week
and you would then have with the combination of these three breakfast three luncheon three dinners
don't forget your Bug Out Bag you need some grab and go meals that require absolutely no cooking
look for Hormel Compleats or some of the pouch meals i have seven Hormel Compleats and then
you can grab a box of granola bars or fruit and grain bars maybe a package of applesauce
and then you can have a granola bar some apple sauce and a Hormel compleat it's not going to fill
you up for the whole day but it would certainly be a nice meal to keep you going in an emergency
situation plus i like the Hormel compleats my favorite is this chicken alfredo and they come
in different varieties so try them i found that no one really likes the meatloaf but we had to
eat a few because we had a few so you can get beef turkey chicken pastas with mashed potatoes
dressing there's all different kinds buy one and try it see which flavors you like keep adding to
your prepper pantry food storage stockpile every time you go to the store try to pick up at least
one extra item it is getting harder and harder and we do need to really pinch our pennies and look
high and low in the store so that we can find less expensive options there are a lot of times along
the bottom shelf so you have to make sure you look high and low because food along at your eye level
tend to be more expensive it's also becoming more complicated because when you go to the store
sometimes either the price is missing or when you go to ring it up it rings up at a different price
because the stores are short-handed they don't have time to be replacing all of the prices and
updating them in a timely manner so that we know how much we're paying so you really need to pay
attention and if you find that something so watch when your food is being rung up even it rings up
and it's too expensive you can't afford it you can say hold it that's supposed to be 55 cents
and it rang up at 1.98 and then you can always say i'm sorry that's too much i'm not gonna pay
that you need to take it out we can't blame the clerks and the checkers because they are just
doing what they're told and they are scanning things and it's the computer and the people
above them who are programming the computers who are determining the price and so you can't
get mad at the clerk they're doing the best they can leave a comment if you have some other ideas
on how we can stock up on food so that we have varieties of easy meals in our prepper pantry and
other ideas you have that could feed your family for about 20 dollars which would really help us
all learn to be better prepared for an unknown future if you enjoyed my video i hope you'll
