Walmart click list easy way to stockpile food for prepping long term emergencies walmart click list pros cons review
hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper channel if you've been reading anything in the news lately
perhaps you are concerned with the future of food grocery availability and food prices
have you gone into the grocery stores anytime lately and seen empty shelves or rising food
prices well that's something that I've seen and then when you read in the news
things like floods in the Midwest in America a huge percentage of our foods
come from that region so not only have the crops been destroyed that we're
growing this year but I read that some of the warehouses and storehouses of food
that was stored away from say last year that food has also been destroyed so looking
forward to food shortages seems to be a reality I also read that there has been
some sort of a swine disease in places like China where they've been destroying
entire herds of pigs we may not choose to eat imported pork from China but if
there's diseases in their pigs how long is it until perhaps we have those diseases in our pigs here
or Chinese importing the foods from our pigs to China and so then we have less
availability of food meats which means that the prices of food go up there are a lot of reasons we may
not even be aware of of why food prices are going up or foods are not available grocery store shelves are bare it
got me to thinking I wanted to really boost my food storage have more the pantry foods
the ready-to-eat foods that I have on hand going forward
how much food is in grocery stores realistically grocery stores have about three days worth of food in the best
circumstances because food is always being trucked in and brought in and
restocked daily but in the event of an emergency something interferes with the
shipping whether it's the trucks can't get through the weather delays there
could be a lot of reasons why the grocery stores would not get the food deliveries that they
want I've experienced that in the past go to the store and shelves are empty and so I tend to want to have more food
things on hand simply because you can go to the store and they're simply sold out
the products that you want are not available and they don't really know
when the next truck is coming in to resupply food stores can't control what's being delivered
they are just on the receiving end just like we are when the mailman comes we
get what he brings we can't control when it arrives and so stores are in the same
way they're reliant on their distributors to keep their shelves full
and they can't really control that they can only put out what food and supplies merchandise they have I
thought this was a great time to try the Walmart Click List clicklist I've never done it used clicklist
before my daughter has and she thinks it's great she has a baby she can leave
him in the car pull up to the store and they load the food groceries it in the car for you so it's Walmart click list
something that I decided to try I went online to the Walmart website and I
clicked on my closest Walmart store I only shopped for shelf stable long
life pantry foods because foods it can be stored for a year or two and they'll
last and last so I ordered approximately one hundred fifty nine dollars worth of
food from Walmart click list but when I went to pick it up guess what they were out of a lot of the items
that were on my list and my bill ended up only being $110 only had 2/3 of my order 1/3 of the food was out of stock I was really
surprised to find out that food is simply not available I had been to that Walmart
store about two weeks ago and I had gone through and looked at some of the
shelf-stable food how much are groceries does food cost in Alaska prices food loaded up some things for my pantry and
just tried to make myself aware of what other food prices what the long-term
type food storage items costs are for different food items and at that time I
noticed some of the food items that I wanted were not available but then when I went
to the Walmart click list OH click click click click I thought this is great I don't
even have to go in the store somebody is going to go put the food it in the cart for me
and bring it out to me so what foods did I stock up on what's nice about the
Progresso soups is that they're chunky soups they're full meal
type soups they're hearty and you can use them in addition to things like rice
mashed potatoes noodles you can add things to them progresso soups and make them a more
filling meal each of the cans of Progresso soup at the Walmart here in
Alaska was $2.00 I've made videos and some of the pantry clean out recipes
that I use myself with some of the Progresso soups look in the description
below and I'll include some of the links to some of the recipes that I've made
with some of the shelf-stable Progresso soups canned foods and pantry clean-out recipes the
next food thing I bought were some vegetables I didn't need a lot of
vegetables because I already have some on hand I ordered some tomatoes with
chilies and then I tried to order just the regular cans of diced tomatoes and
they actually were completely out and the gal who brought out my Walmart Click List order said
that there's an entire section in the store that is completely bare there's no canned
tomatoes in there at all I'm assuming that when I'm ordering something on the Walmart
click list that it's in stock since I'm selecting it at that particular Walmart store
but she said that isn't how it works the next thing I ordered were some
canned beans I have lots and lots of dried beans but it's nice to have canned
beans on hand canned beans are great for food storage they're easy to open them up combine them with a few things other canned foods and
it's easy to make a meal quickly and easily it's filling and beans are
nutritious I ordered some jars of salsa I like the Herdez green salsa Verde I like to combine herdez green salsa verde
it with a can of white beans a can of chicken a jar of Herdez green salsa verde and you have a nice
spicy white bean chicken chili I also ordered Pace red salsa and unfortunately they
only had one bottle of Pace red salsa available so that's all I was able to get I bought a 4 pack
of canned chicken breast I was surprised how big these were I thought it was ordering
the small cans of chicken because it was only nine dollars for all four cans I like to eat
oatmeal for breakfast so I ordered two big boxes of that I
prefer the Tetley tea so I ordered two boxes of the Tetley teabags 80 tea bags
in a box next I ordered the Chef Boyardee mini ravioli in 4 packs it was far more expensive
to buy them individually so check to see if they have a multi pack it isn't
always cheaper but sometimes it is I tried to also order some Chef Boyardee Beefaroni but
they didn't have any in stock I stocked up on Kraft macaroni and cheese it's the
only kind of really care to eat you don't actually have to add the milk and
the butter to Kraft mac and cheese you can cook and drain your Kraft macaroni noodles add the powdered cheese sauce
and it tastes pretty good I tried to buy a stockpile of the Knorr noodles they
had one all I could get was one package of Knorr noodles asian sides when they came out I was so surprised
she's like this is one we had one the Idahoan mashed potatoes are delicious you
just boil water add your potatoes and stir Idahoan instant mashed potatoes these are great whether you've
cooked some fish you had in your freezer or in a hurry grab something like a beef
and vegetable soup serve it over the mashed potatoes it's really quite good
it's filling and it gives you an affordable meal with very little
preparation the thing that surprised me the most Walmart Click List was I ordered a 20-pound bag of
rice and they were completely out of rice so I didn't get any I was shocked
that they don't have rice and the clerk told me they're out of things like rice
they're completely out of things like canned tomatoes the shelves are big and
bare and don't expect to see those foods things in the store for two to three
more weeks how can you not have rice that's like the beginning prepper food I
just was looking to have an additional 20 additional pounds of rice on
and just because I was concerned about the future and it turns out maybe I had
the right idea and that little voice in the back of my head that said get more
food stockpile now it's a good thing I was listening because some of the things food shortages
are not available and I was completely surprised by that a disappointment with Walmart Click List that
I had was that five of the cans are very dented and to me this is something dented cans I
would never buy dented cans and I wouldn't store dented cans it away in my food storage because when
cans are dented especially around the seam or the rim they could easily be
compromised and your food then is not being stored properly I don't know that
that's a typical of Walmart click List that they would deliver to you dented up cans they already had
to have been dented before they put them into the bag when you shop at the Walmart
clicklist they don't give you a receipt they show you they go through the walmart clicklist list
with you and tell you what was not available which I was surprised when she
started going my walmart click list this and this and this and this so between a third and a fourth of
the food that I ordered was not available and I was pretty disappointed
about that Walmart clicklist pros cons but it didn't cost me extra to shop with the walmart clicklist
at Walmart and some stores I know that they charge you extra and I would have
been very disappointed if I had paid extra and I didn't get the food things that I
wanted if you're looking for a simple way to stock up on your shelf stable
long term emergency prepper pantry survival food there's all kinds of ways
we refer to it go on your computer check out your Walmart click list choose the things food
you want and then you just pull around at Walmart look for the signs pull around to the
side you call the number they bring it out and they put it in your car for you
and you can drive on home you don't have to wander around
the store you don't have to take your kids and if you don't want to you could
even go in your pajamas if you dare it go out in your pajamas my disappointment
with the Walmart clicklist is they didn't have so many of the items that I
wanted but would I do it again the answer is yes it's an easy way to shop
check your list at home drive up to the door they load it in and you're on your
way that's pretty simple if you ask me leave a comment below if you have an
experience with a click list whether it's at Walmart or a different store and
please be stocking up on foods while they're readily available food prices are
going up food things are becoming scarce and we don't know what the future holds but
we know that we want to have as much as we can the of the food things that we rely on having
