keep stacking food Dollar Tree prepping haul world situation shortages get food now hi
it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper I've been to Dollar Tree it's a great time to keep
adding to your prepping supplies food stockpile stack it to the rafters is what some people say
but you want to continue to build your stockpile of prepper food and prepping supplies that you
actually use you want to add some food to your prepper pantry stockpile
then shop around Dollar Tree look things over and see if there's any supplies that you want to add
to your prepping supplies things do cost a dollar 25 now Dollar Tree but let me show you that the
items that i bought that i thought were certainly worth it if you've been to any other store prices
are going up everywhere it's simple to shop at Dollar Tree if you have them in your area
they're smaller stores they're easy to get in and out they're organized in a way that
you can find the things food prepping supplies you're looking for it's always fun to treasure
hunt find some surprises and you know you're not going to spend more than a dollar 25
on any single item at Dollar Tree let me show you first the food items that i bought Dollar Tree do
you remember the little boxes of cereal we used to call these camping cereal because that's the only
time we were ever allowed to have them was when we went camping and they were just very expensive but
they were very fun to have i was able to pick up this box of five different varieties cereal
i'm going to share them with my grandchildren who have never seen the little boxes before
and what we used to do was cut it like a capital i and then you would fold it open cereal box was
lined with wax paper so when you poured your milk right into the box eat the cereal out of the box
now i'm not sure if these little cereal boxes would have that perforation of the capital i
to slit the box open but i'm certainly going to try opening it that way for them and if it's not
lined with a wax paper i'm going to put some in it so that we can pour the milk in and they can try
eating cereal the way AlaskaGranny did when she was a little girl on camp outs next i bought
a box jambalaya this was less expensive than Zatarans jambalaya which i have some of those
but it's still a nice way to have a flavored rice for not much money there's a lot of spices in
box jambalaya some people think they're a little too spicy when you're preparing it you could stir
in some plain white rice and allow it to cook together just increase your water if you're adding
extra white rice and there are a lot of things foods that you can serve with a box of jambalaya
the jambalaya mix already includes all the spices so you could add any meat or vegetables that you
have on hand to box jambalaya that you enjoy eating and make it your own way to make it
special to what you like and what your tastes are i found the packets of Bumble Bee lemon pepper
tuna I've had these in a different brand before and i felt like they were very tasty
and spicy Bumble Bee lemon pepper tuna are nice to put into your Bug Out Bag 72 hour kit Get Home Bag
any kind of an emergency kit because they're very sturdy pouches tuna the food has a little spoon
included in the top of the pouch so that you could eat Bumble Bee lemon pepper tuna out of
the container if you needed to they're also great because you could stir them into Suddenly Salad
and help make a bigger better meal the best buy sell by use by date on
the Bumble Bee lemon pepper tuna is September 2023 i have opened Bumble Bee lemon pepper tuna past
that date and they were still fine as long as you store them in a cool dry place and you keep
the packages safe so they don't get a puncture on them then they're probably going to last for quite
a while not as long as say a can of tuna but they certainly can last past the date and still taste
fine i bought another package of the Hungry Jack cheesy scalloped potatoes because these are just
delicious while it does require fresh milk you could put it with a can of evaporated milk or
a can of media crema or stir in some of your powdered milk you don't have to have the fresh
milk on hand to prepare Hungry Jack cheesy scalloped potatoes i think they're pretty
good Hungry Jack cheesy scalloped potatoes make a lot of food and you could serve them with any
kind of meat and vegetables and you have a full large meal for your family i bought a package
of the Himalayan salt it was a dollar 25 yes that's more than it was when it was a dollar
but i recently saw the exact same package at walmart it was 3.98 so this is still a great deal
if you haven't stockpiled enough salt in your prepper pantry there's a lot of ways to use
salt besides just in your food you can sprinkle it down your garb disposal you can add a little
bit of it to be an abrasive when you're cleaning things and they're just salt is just a inexpensive
item that you can easily store with your prepping pantry and even your prepping supplies
i have a lot of just add water pancake mixes and waffle mixes in my prepper pantry and so i thought
it would be a good idea to have an extra bottle of inexpensive pancake syrup an extra bottle a
pancake syrup will be great to have on hand for a quick and easy breakfast or even when
you're having breakfast for dinner make sure you have some syrup to go with your pancakes Dollar
Tree had a little bottle of Kraft mayonnaise for only a dollar 25 this is a perfect size
to put into your shelf meals your pantry meals i like to put meals together in a ziploc bag i put
all of the foods together so that i can easily make a meal just grab the ziploc bag and i have
a prepper pantry shelf meal a ready to make meal whether it's an emergency or just a quick dinner
this is going to be an easy way to have Kraft mayonnaise into a recipe that would call for that
next i found these 10 little tiny snap lid containers these are going to be perfect to
add any spice mixes or dried onions garlic that would go into a shelf meal a prepper pantry meal
that i put the ingredients together into a ziploc bag if i wanted to make something that required
taco seasoning i could measure taco seasoning into the container snap on the lid and put it
in the prepper pantry shelf meal emergency ziplock bag with the other ingredients these
are actually great because then you can wash them and reuse them having 10 spice containers gives me
the opportunity to have a lot of prepper pantry shelf meals and the spices that they would need
and then just like i reuse the ziploc bags i could reuse these little resealable spice containers
and they're not going to break hopefully they're not going to leak i'm not going to put any liquids
in them this would just be for dry spices that can live in your prepper pantry food stockpile
Dollar Tree is also a great place to pick up prepping supplies so think about all of the
areas of prepping supplies where you might need things look up and down the aisles at
Dollar Tree and see what you can find one of the prepping supply areas i was looking at was hygiene
so i wanted some extra hygiene items i bought a package of five disposable razors i bought
a package of feminine hygiene products i bought two little packages of Secret deodorant which is
a deodorant that i like and maybe you've heard me mention in other videos Secret deoderant is
one that i used to buy all the time and suddenly i couldn't find it and then there it was at Dollar
Tree so it's a nice size Secret deoderant to put in your suitcase gym bag and just to
have in your stockpile over-the-counter cold and flu medicines especially those for children have
been extremely short supply if you've been to the regular pharmacy or the drugstore you may notice
that over the counter cold flu remedies are hard to come by so i have been trying to add a little
at a time I picked up a couple little bottles of cough syrup at Dollar Tree these cough syrups are
great to have on hand because if you get a cough you may want to have some syrup but you don't
want a gigantic bottle because then once you get over your cold or your cough you don't want to
save that for the next one and it's really not a good idea to share the bottle between people
a good idea to have a different bottle for say you have two people in your family are sick
here's one for you and one for you and then we make sure we don't have any cross contamination
i was glad to see that the Dollar Tree chapstick now comes in a three pack it used to be two for a
dollar and now it's three for a dollar twenty five so that's actually a better buy than it used to
be Dollar Tree chapstick is nice you can use it not only to rub it on your lips but you can rub
it on say a sore spot on your foot if you're out hiking and it can help protect it so you don't get
a blister and you can also use it to start fires in an emergency a tube of chapstick is on my
must-have list whether i'm at home or i go out even just for the day always be adding to your
battery stockpile i've had good luck with Dollar Tree batteries so i continue to buy them they're
only in six packs now for a dollar twenty five it was nice when you could get eight for a dollar but
those days are over if we look to the future we know that there are challenges to the food supply
and people are trying to get more into gardening the seeds from Dollar Tree seeds are out seeds
have been out for a few weeks in most areas there's still only four for a
dollar seed packets so you might want to look and see if you can find some garden seeds at Dollar
Tree what i found in the seeds was something i'd never seen before Dollar Tree which were micro
greens and it's a nice big package of micro greens seeds so you could easily grow these on your
windowsill you could even use them in like a jar with a sprouter top you can have some fresh greens
in just a few days that you can add sprouts microgreens into any of your prepping meals
if you look on the package it says in as little as 10 days to harvest microgreens you can see it
includes a variety of seeds two to five days to germinate space them a quarter of an inch
and when they grow to one or two inches they're ready to harvest
you could snip them off and they'll continue to grow and you can continue to harvest them again
so something like this might be a easy way for you to start gardening if you haven't tried it
yet if you store your seeds in a cool dark dry environment they're going to last for many years
stock up on seeds that you know that are foods that can grow in your area and also varieties
of seeds of foods that you're willing to eat i can't forget my dog Teddy look at
this cute little toy it looks like a bottle of hot sauce it has a nice rope pull on it
and a squeaker he loves to squeak toys i love this dog toy from Dollar Tree i thought it was cute
it's called spots sauce the future is uncertain we just don't know and the more prepared you are the
better able you will be to face the uncertainties and the challenges that will come to all of us
no matter who we are or where we live stack it to the rafters keep stocking up on prepping supplies
prepper pantry food items but then make sure that you're also using these items and rotating and
replacing them if you use one replace it with two so that you are building your stockpile
or if you have enough and you use one just replace it with one only you know
how much you need to make sure that you have the things that you need for your particular family
