huge prepping supply food haul Walmart stockpile hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper i was driving
through a different area today doing an errand and i noticed there was a walmart
i hadn't ever been in before and something came over me it's a good day to keep prepping
go into the walmart and see what you can find so i thought i would share
with you some prepping supplies some food and other items that i bought
to add to my prepper pantry food and my prepping supply stockpile but don't worry this little guy
also got a toy and i thought i'd get that out of the way because i know Teddy has some fans
he loves his squeaky toy so i got one they only had one of his favorite kind of squeaky toy and
i got it Walmart you ready to go play with your new toy you ready to go play here we go
not only did Teddy find some of his favorite items but i found some half
gallon wide mouth mason canning jars and boy was i excited to see that
they also had one box of the quart size mason canning jars with the wide mouth lid these are
my favorite mason canning jars i find them to be the most versatile the most useful they actually
had quite a few of the regular mouth quart size mason canning jars but i prefer these and i was
very excited when i found they had one lone box of wide mouth quart canning jars mixed in with
the regular mouth canning jars so i bought those too if you've been shopping for preserving canning
supplies you know that they have been very hard to come by for quite some time so always be on the
lookout jars lids when you see canning preserving fermenting supplies that you know you use even if
you're not going to use them today make sure that you add them to your stockpile if they're
at a price that you can afford i also picked up a fresh bottle of bleach one of the bottles of
bleach that i had in my stockpile wasn't any good anymore you can tell if your bleach is
still good for water purification undo the lid and smell it does it still smell like bleach
then it's probably fine and if things really go south Ukraine Russia war nuclear disaster you need
to use bleach for water purification purposes you need to have some fresh bleach on hand
and boy was i ever shocked when i saw that a gallon-sized bleach at Walmart was nearly six
dollars look carefully when you're buying bleach make sure you don't get bleach that's scented
do not get bleach that's splashless because those have different chemicals in them
that can change the nature of bleach and it was extremely hard for me to find bleach
that was just regular bleach and that's what you need for your water purification purposes
i have a butane stove i've been searching for the butane fuel canisters for quite a while butane
canisters have not been available anywhere that i have been and when i saw butane canisters today i
made sure to pick up six of them because they're extra handy to have on hand if you have a butane
stove you need to make sure that you have plenty of butane fuel canisters on hand because
many times you can't find butane fuel canisters anywhere and if you are really relying on that
to do some cooking whether you're camping or in an emergency you need to pick up those supplies while
they are available plus the price of these has just been skyrocketing i also was able to get two
of the small propane bottles i have some devices that use propane fuel canisters and they have
been impossible to find as well and man oh man propane fuel canisters were over five dollars each
so if you need propane butane whatever kind of extra fuel you need for any of your emergency
cooking or heating apparatuses pick them up when you see them propane butane are hard to
find the price is going up and who knows what's going to happen in the future we just don't know
and so it's better to have a few extra butane propane fuel canisters around because you can
always use them for camping you can use them in an emergency and guess what they don't expire so you
can have butane propane fuel canisters on hand store them in a cool dark place but don't store
them with your food always store chemicals away from your food another prepping supply i picked up
was a couple of small bottles of over-the-counter medicines pain relievers these were only one
dollar a piece and in an emergency this would certainly be something useful not only to me
but if somebody came who really needed some medical help you could give this to them or even
barter for something that you do need having just a small bottle over the counter medicines that
you could pull out if you wanted to help someone in times of emergency is way better than pulling
out your gigantic bottle OTC medications that holds a thousand because then they know you
have all kinds of other prepping supplies so having a few extra small prepping items around
are handy for your Bug Out Bbag or just for any kind of an emergency situation
the rest of my Walmart prepping haul items are food let me organize them and then I'll come
back and show you what are the food items that i bought to add to my prepper pantry food stockpile
i bought four pounds of spaghetti it was less than four dollars so that is always a good buy
pasta is getting harder to come by because it's made from wheat products made of wheat
are becoming more expensive harder to find and we don't know what the future holds because the wheat
grains the exporting and the crop losses will possibly affect our ability to have the grain
products that we want in the future now maybe you don't eat grain so that wouldn't matter to you but
it does matter to me and to a lot of other people but stirring spaghetti noodles can be challenging
because of the size of them and so i was looking over the containers and i found this banker's
box it has a little handle it has a nice fitting locking lid it's not airtight but it's certainly
more secure than a lot of other things and then i realized that the package of pasta will fit
right down inside i could put pounds and pounds and pounds of it in here add in a few bay leaves
you can seal them in a mylar bag use them in a foodsaver and if you don't have anything else at
least put them away in this container the better you store your foods the longer they're going to
last and some of the things can be challenging to figure out how do we store them the best even if
you don't have all of the state-of-the-art fancy gear you can store them the best that you can and
that will help them last longer if you find that you don't like how you did store something now
maybe you'll have the opportunity to store it better in the future but if you don't have it
you can't store it better in the future so stock up on foods not just the supplies to help protect
the food you need to have the actual food too i bought a bag of little tiny noodles these can cook
the fastest so if you didn't have a way to cook a lot of food for very long but you could heat up
water maybe over your emergency stove you could heat up some broth add in your little noodles
and then you have a bigger better meal think about the easiest ways that you can have food
for your emergency prepper pantry food stockpile because sometimes just having something to eat
that can get you through can really save a day from becoming an emergency when people are hungry
they need something and you want to be able to feed your family as quickly and nutritiously
as possible will every meal be the most delicious and the most nutritious no but that's okay as long
as you're still finding a way to take care of the things and the people that you need
i bought a five pack of Kraft macaroni and cheese that's the mac and cheese that we like so i don't
buy the generic macaroni and cheese anymore we ate it for years and nobody really likes
it compared to Kraft macaroni and cheese and so i'm to the point in my life that life is too short
and then i'm going to enjoy Kraft macaroni and cheese a lot more so to me it's worth
it to get the Kraft i also have made this many times without the butter or the milk the cheese
powder is pretty good with one of the things that i do is you pour these into a canning jar
add the cheese packet put in the directions and then you have that stored away in an airtight
container because the cardboard boxes just aren't going to last you want to make sure
you keep things so that nothing can chew on it nothing can get into it and contaminate it and
liquids or something can't spill on it which could also damage your stored food
i found some of the Bear Creek soups they were still like $3.69 or something for a package which
i thought was a pretty good deal because when i've seen Bear Creek soup online for example on amazon
they're up to nearly five dollars a package so i was able to buy Bear Creek tortilla soup
Bear Creek cheddar potato and Bear Creek vegetable beef soup of the other products that Bear Creek
has that i found recently are some packages of pasta with sauce which are really delicious but
i've only ever seen them at Big Lots that's a store that i don't normally shop at or is not
available to me and so i would be interested to find more of those because they were really
delicious so if you get a chance to pick up the Bear Creek pastas make sure you get those
as well because they're very good these are sealed up nice in a nice sturdy bag you only
have to add water to these but you do have to cook Bear Creek soups for i think it's 20 minutes
read on the back is that one or two of them it's a little bit different and you can always add things
into Bear Creek soup to make them taste better you could add broth you could add a cream of
chicken soup for example you could add a can of vegetables you could add a can of meat and
then you have a much heartier bigger better meal that could even serve more people you're cooking
for just one or two the whole package might be too much but you could only cook half of it and
then you have the other half put away for later i bought a few packages at Knorr Spanish rice this
is something that i had in my stockpile and i've been trying to rotate the Knorr Spanish rice i've
had for several years so this is to replace some of the Knorr Spanish rice that i recently used
if you're on the soup aisle you may see that the cans of soup are not to your liking but
sometimes you can find these little packages of soup they don't take up very much space if
space is a problem for your prepping stockpile look for these little packets of soup one of
them is by Knorr it's it's tomato based star pasta soup mixes they had three different kinds but the
only different i could see was the shape of the pasta and then i also found this soup packet by
maggi sopa sabor de pollo con fideo so it's chicken chicken with little noodles
and it's just a little packet soup mix they were less than a dollar you can make them
according to the package directions or add in extras to make Knorr Maggi dry soup packets
taste better and that gives you variety food stockpile without having to have a big old can
that's full of water on your pantry shelf just make sure that you're also including water in
your prepper pantry emergency food storage stockpile so that you can make the foods that need
to have water added to them another dried food that i bought is Pioneer country gravy mix Pioneer
country gravy mix are very good my family likes Pioneer country gravy mix you just add water
heat it up and you make some nice tasty gravy that you can serve over biscuits or other things
we prefer it over biscuits but you can put over mashed potatoes rice noodles anything you want
Pioneer country gravy mix are nice because i open these up and i measure out half and i just make
half at a time which is enough for a meal at my house so don't think you have to use the whole
package Pioneer country gravy mix on some of these things foods you can just use part of it
and then you don't have to worry about the rest of it needing to be refrigerated before you use
it up you can seal the package back up and put it back with your supplies just remember to use the
open one first next time i found a can of Walmart Great Value country sausage gravy i haven't tried
this before so that's why i bought one if you buy one and you try it you don't like it
that's an experience don't have to buy more but if you like it you can go back and get more
and then you haven't wasted your money and your pantry space storing foods that people didn't like
you can store foods that you do like and spend your money on those foods instead
so try that strategy if you see something new keep trying new foods because not only do we
not know all the things we might like but we may not be able to get the things that we do like and
then you've already figured out a few foods that you can get instead and some of prepping today is
looking at it like a scavenger hunt you're looking through the Walmart store for new things to try
something if you can't get what you do want you still want to be able to get
something some of the other foods i got were butter beans brown sugar baked beans
red beans and rice in a can how handy is that if you like it but take one home and try it first
you may not like it but if you could just open it up and not have to do any cooking
that would be pretty nice wouldn't it i bought two cans of Read classic three bean salad
i bought tri bean mixture before and then i've added my own dressing to it Read classic three
bean salad already has the dressing in it so that's one less thing you need to worry about
having in your prepper pantry stockpile i bought three cans of mixed vegetables these are just
easy to add to some of your other prepper pantry ingredients when you're making a quick and easy
meal so they're handy to have on hand to use in your different recipes stock up on the vegetables
that you like we know that there's been a shortage of oil not only for our cars but also of
vegetable type oils i like canola oil so that's what i bought you get the oils that you like
and i also bought a canola spray because i like to use this on my cookware so it doesn't matter what
oil you get as long as you find one that you like this isn't about judging which one you should or
should not use the foods that you like to cook with and eat are what should be in your pantry
not somebody else's list the things that you enjoy eating i was glad to see the Hormel Compleats they
were only like $2.21 and they have the Hormel Compleats that i actually like the most the
chicken alfredo this Hormel Compleats is probably one of my favorites some of them are not very good
and a few of them don't even sound like i'd want to try them but they're nice to have
for your Bug Out Bag for an emergency meal you can toss them in your gym bag take them camping
you don't even have to heat them up if you don't have a microwave you could still just eat it as is
last time i went to the store Walmart there wasn't any alfredo sauce so i was glad to see it today
so i picked up three jars of Prego Alfredo Sauce one of the things that i like to do with Classico
Alfredo Sauce i take a container of Classico pasta red sauce i add in the container of the
Classico Alfredo sauce and then i warm it all up pour in a half a package of pastas and just
let it simmer together stir it a few times and you have a meal you don't have to have two pots
you can make it all in one i bought two packages of reduced sodium real bacon bits i found some
sprinkle bacon bits at Dollar Tree that i thought would add some flavor but when i saw actual real
bacon bits i thought that would be nice to add into my pepper pantry meat stock pile i also
bought two cans of Bumble Bee crab meat these are great to put into all kinds of different dishes
where you would use other kinds of seafood crab gives it a whole different flavor profile you
can stir Bumble Bee canned crab into salads you could add Bumble Bee canned crab into pastas
you could add it into even your Classico alfredo sauce and you have made your meal a little bit
different for just a few extra dollars i was glad to find the Great Value canned pulled pork
i haven't had a lot of it and i haven't seen it in a long time but it's pretty good and i
was glad to have Great Value canned pulled pork as another variety of meat to add into
my prepper pantry food stockpile i have a lot of just add water pancake mix and so i was glad to
add a few extra containers of pancake syrup and this pancake syrup is butter flavored so if you
couldn't have the butter that you want you can still get that flavor for your meal when you're
shopping for your foods you want to think of them as full meals if you're buying pancake
mix you want to make sure you have some syrup if you're buying something like gravy you want to
make sure you have some biscuits or something to go with it if you're buying some beans you want to
make sure that you have an idea how you're going to use them they are very versatile there's lots
of ways that you can combine your canned foods with your packaged foods try to plan it out while
you're shopping for your food so that you have an idea of how you're going to use the food and
rotate it it isn't just a matter of collecting food it's a matter of stockpiling food then
using it and rotating it and replacing it that way you grow your prepper pantry food stockpile
is when you use one you replace it with two and then your stockpile grows a little at a time
it was interesting to see how many people were shopping in the store and i was comforted a
little bit when i saw some people putting in whole cases of canned goods into their shopping cart
i have no idea if they're prepping or they just have 12 kids at home but it made me feel better
to see that people were buying larger amounts of shelf staple food so it makes me feel like more
people will be prepared for the uncertain future and the things we don't know that could come
the more of us who are prepared the better off we all will be then have confidence in yourself
that you did your best so that you could have the best outcome for as many days as possible
