hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper if you've been to
the grocery store lately you realize
that the price of groceries is rising
dramatically make an emergency food kit
not only are the prices going up but the
packaging is getting smaller
so even if the price appears to stay the
if you look at your package you'll
see that there is less in it which is
the same as things are costing more
at food banks
the most requested foods that people without enough to eat asked for
full serving meals in a can so you
can just open the can have something
like SpaghettiOs chili ravioli beef stew
ready to eat meals the next thing is tuna people are always
asking for tuna peanut butter
everybody likes peanut butter even if
you don't have bread or crackers you can
have some on a spoon you get some
protein you get some instant energy get
your tummy full granola bars or the next
thing that people requested the food
bank and they're so easy to just rip one
open and eat it they come in all kinds
trying to find ones that are not desert
or sugar oriented look for ones that
have fruit nuts fiber things that are
actually good for you read the
ingredients next thing people ask for is
fruit there are all kinds of fruits you
can get choose the varieties that your
family likes choose what you like
because that's what you're going to eat
the next thing is soup find soups that
are wholesome whole meal kinds of soups
shelf-stable milk this stuff is
brilliant I can see why they would ask
for that because you need milk for so
many things
cereal we love oatmeal so we always have
plenty of that if your family likes cold
cereal buy cereals that they will actually
eat and usually cereal will stay good
six months three to six months past it's
expiration date to the next thing people
request is rice you can get brown
rice white rice white rice last a lot
longer than
brown rice brown rice as natural oils in
it and so it does go rancid so don't
buy foods you won't eat or buy so much
that is spoiled before you eat it up
and the next food people like is pasta
everybody loves pasta don't buy
something you won't eat then once you
get your basics and these would be
basics that every family should have on
hand and you should have a couple of
weeks supply of food so you don't worry
that you don't have enough to eat then
fill in with things that you actually
enjoy
these Trader Joes shelf stable
meals they come in a little foil pack
you throw them in boiling water and five
minutes you zip open the bag and eat it
and they're good for shelf life of practically two
years if like spicy indian food
look for those get some creamy mushroom
soup to cook with your rice and your
pasta and your tuna gift if you're going
to store pasta you need some pasta
sauces it's easy to find it in a jar or can
can get some canned tomatoes and beans
packages of instant potatoes
there's instant quick-cooking Rices and
then prepackaged meals like pasta roni
macaroni and cheese stock up on these
basic essentials and the things that are
most requested of food banks and then
fill in with things that you like so
that you know your family will eat
you will know that your family is well taken care of

food so that your family will not go
without going forward
