Foods I won't buy again prepper pantry food storage stockpile Campbell's chunky soup review hi it's
AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper as preppers we want to keep adding to our food stockpile and it's nice
to have a variety of foods so that you can have different flavors and mix it up so you don't have
food fatigue you don't have to eat the same old foods thing day in and day out but if you aren't
sure about something just buy one and then maybe you have bought one and you've set it aside and
you're like i'm not sure if i even like it should i keep it in my prepper pantry and maybe you keep
pushing it aside because there's other things you know you like during this ongoing pandemic
there have been times when we can't find the foods that we actually really want but we know it's
important to keep adding to our food stockpile and so sometimes i will buy things foods that i'm not
familiar with because say i want to buy a can of soup and the type i like isn't there so i'll pick
up something that sounds like it might be good but then when i get home i already have a few
of the other soups that i actually do like and so maybe i don't hurry up and try the one i'm not so
sure about sometimes we need to go ahead and try that food so that we know is this food worth the
space in my pantry is it going to be good should i go back and get more or do i need to keep looking
for something that my family will enjoy so if we find something we like we can go back and get more
but if we don't like it then we're not stuck with a whole bunch of something we don't like different
varieties of soups were something that i bought during the pandemic because i couldn't find soups
that i like and that i wanted and so i figured it was better to get something rather than have
nothing but they sort of languish for a little while so i finally decided it's time to get them
out and see if they really did deserve a place in my pantry and should i keep looking for it or not
the first one was a Campbell's chunky soup chicken tortilla doesn't it sound like it would
be delicious it says it has white meat it should have some tortilla strips it should be delicious
so i finally opened it up heated it up it doesn't look anything like the picture on the label
it's very soupy brothy and i don't see anything that looks like a tortilla i see a lot of rice and
i actually am having a hard time finding anything that looks like white meat chicken well and guess
what the flavor is not any good at all this soup to me is terrible and i don't even want to try
to figure out what i could mix with it to spice it up and make it taste better and so i'm glad
that i finally tried it get it out of my pantry and I'm certainly glad i didn't buy more so the
Campbell's chunky chicken tortilla soup isn't one that i would recommend or ever want to buy again
the next soup i tried was a Campbell's chunky chili mac which it's easy to make chili mac but
i thought okay maybe this will be a nice variety to have as a soup so i opened it up i warmed it up
and i would rather be eating a can of chili this just doesn't even have a very good flavor
you can make a box of macaroni and cheese and top it with a can of chili and you'd have way more
food and more flavor than this stuff so Campbell's chili mac chunky soup isn't something that i
would ever buy again either the next soup that i tried was the Campbell's chunky soup minestrone
with sausage yes look at that it has lots of little sausage coins floating around in it and
i like minestrone soup however the combination of minestrone with sausage is just not very flavorful
out of these three Campbell's chunky soups this one is probably the best but they still are
something that i don't want to eat ever again and so i'm certainly glad i didn't buy more of these
there are so many soups that are good that we do enjoy but sometimes we can't get them and that's
what happened to me i had to find something so that i could continue to fill my prepper pantry
i am glad that i tried these so that i know it's not something that i like and no one in my family
would probably be willing to eat it and so there's no sense in stocking up on this soup to keep in my
prepper pantry food stockpile it would be easier for me to put together something that i know we
would like and i'd rather have extras of those foods in my pantry than the variety of these
foods that nobody likes one problem that i did run into with some fruit that i bought at Dollar Tree
Nature's Garden tropical fruit trail mix these are absolutely delicious they come in a nice sturdy
pouch and then inside there's four little pouches they come in four smaller size wrapped packages
which are a nice serving size it's a very sturdy package and these are fantastic to have in your
food storage however they haven't been available at the Dollar Tree for a while so i've sort of
been holding them back because they're so good and trying not to use them up the best buy use by sell
by date of this Nature's Garden tropical fruit trail mix packages they've all gone out of date
in October of 2021 and that's a few months ago so i thought it's time to pull them forward and try
them out and make sure that they're still lasting well they're beginning to taste a little bit stale
i think it's the coconut in them is beginning to taste off a little bit these are still very good
but i need to rotate these out of my pantry now before they become degraded so that they're no
longer good to eat almost no foods last forever and so that's something that we
need to be aware of when we're building our prepper pantry food stockpile that you're
buying foods that you're willing to eat and you're rotating them within a reasonable amount of time
many foods will last longer but this is one of them that is not very successful
lasting past the day when i was able to find them though they did have a nice long shelf life of a
year or two but they're now at the end of their shelf life and i need to make sure that i use them
up and find something to replace them with since i can't find these anymore and that's one of the
challenges of food storage is making sure that you continue to try new things so that you find out
what do you like what do you not like what can you still get and what can you add so that you
can continue to use rotate and replace your foods and sometimes the challenge is finding new foods
that your family will be willing to eat and that you enjoy eating so leave us a comment on what
foods you're finding that you like to eat and you never want to buy again and what foods that you're
finding that you need to rotate and find a new replacement because those are no longer available
and maybe some ideas of how we can continue to add variety into our prepper pantry and our long-term
food storage if you enjoyed my video i hope you'll share it with someone else you think might like it
