it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper if you read the news it's grim today
Boris Johnson UK prime minister Britain is saying the covid 19 coronavirus pandemic virus
as on the upswing in the UK and their nixing cancelling Christmas gatherings
and shutting closing stores businesses a famous chef in Washington DC is calling on the federal
government to make sure that Americans have enough food he's been running an organization called
the World Central Kitchen he's proposing that the federal government do as much as the world central
kitchen feeding hungry providing meals collecting money donating it to restaurants paying for meals
allowing restaurants to remain open to buy food from farmers to keep the dollars going around in
a community and keeping people fed food bank lines are stretching at food banks it is estimated that
15 million more people will struggle with food insecurity this year 2020 compared to
pre-pandemic levels he is critical of the federal government's funding of food banks claiming that
the amount provided by the federal government to food banks equals only twenty dollars per hungry
American every year but this is the part that gets me he claims twenty dollars is two to three cans
of chickpeas to feed yourself for a year now I don't know where you shop but even if you go to
the Dollar Tree you can find a bountiful amount of food beyond two to three cans of chickpeas
to add to your food stockpile if the pandemic is spreading food shortages are high things
really are this grim I hope everyone will take a minimum of twenty dollars to buy up basic foods
that you can have in your prepper pantry long term food storage stockpile to feed your family
buy basic foods stock up now everything from canned foods to basic beans and rice
when cooked one pound of beans equals three cans of beans so if you went even to the Dollar
Tree for prepper pantry food supplies and got one bag of beans you could have the three cans he's
talking about for one dollar there are certainly ways to stretch your prepper pantry food dollars
so that you can have more food for the amount of money one dollar each the more you buy go
to single ingredient foods the more likely you are to find the better bargains on food
you need to store your food in a cool dry place you can put dry foods like beans rice in an empty
canning jar you can put food into a clean empty soda bottle store the food away in your pantry
and you can have pounds and pounds of food in your prepper pantry stockpile for the 20 dollars is
that enough food for an entire year no every dollar extra you add to your food stockpile helps
every package of food you buy helps build your emergency prepper pantry food stockpile store some
dry food away just seal it up so it's airtight look around for basic foods that you can find
canned packaged meals that are ready to eat meals that are simple to prepare so that you have some
food on hand you can also get a bucket and store up twenty dollars worth of food into your bucket
you can have beans rice lentils oatmeal pasta dried potatoes muffin mixes macaroni and cheese
you can even find some freeze-dried and dehydrated fruits even at the Dollar Tree that come in little
packets that add variety are very tasty and have an additional supply of food for your family
you want to get the variety that you can but only choose foods that your family is willing to
eat go for basic foods stock up on food the best that you can and make sure that you
have also stored some bottled water no one knows what the future brings but it can look very grim
food insecurity has been a real struggle for many Americans and many communities all around the
world we've had our stores restaurants businesses closed down food has been not available prices
are increasing please do what you can stock up on as much food as you can long-lasting food so that
you'll have the food and things you need no matter what the future brings if you liked my video I
