foods for emergency stockpile easy foods to buy for prepper pantry long term food storage hi
it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper have you ever been at the store and you thought what if this
was the last time I could go shopping what if SHTF happened today or tomorrow and this was the last
shopping trip what do I really hope that I have in my shopping cart or in my pantry at home so that
I know that I can feed my family no matter what tomorrow brings food to stockpile before panic I like to make sure that I have
plenty of canned and packaged goods in my pantry I want open and eat ready to go meals that you
can just open and eat or heat in the microwave all the open and eat cans of food that are ready to go
it's also a great idea to have some of the pouch meals they come in all different kinds of flavors
they're ready to eat out of the pouch or heat them in the microwave they're already fully
cooked there are also meals you can find like ready meals they're already cooked and they're in
a little like a tray or a bowl those are great too you can have lots of those on hand so all you need
to do is open one up and eat it in an emergency what if you don't have any power what if you don't
have any running water you don't have any way to cook or clean up or prepare things you have foods
that you can still eat then it's great to have all different kinds of canned beans there are so
many different kind of beans everything from the single beans in a can black beans kidney beans
white beans garbanzo beans there's all kinds and they're very versatile you can combine them
with many other kinds of foods to make meals make sure that you also have lots of canned vegetables
my favorite canned vegetables are canned corn canned green beans and mixed vegetables there
are lots of other kinds choose the ones that your family is willing to eat and make sure that you
have plenty of them then remember you can combine your canned vegetables with some of your other
foods to make meals next make sure you have lots of canned tomato products you can buy pasta sauces
that come in jars or cans you can have tomato paste tomato sauce canned tomatoes spicy tomatoes
there's all kinds of canned tomato products that are versatile they are flavorful you can combine
them with all different kinds of things to make a variety of meals stock up on pasta pasta lasts
nearly forever and goes great with so many of the foods that you already would have on hand
have a nice stockpile of canned meat America's favorite canned meats are actually tuna and Vienna
sausages I like to have canned chicken canned beef and there's all kinds of other cans that I found
that are good there are lots of different kinds of fish besides tuna pulled pork in a can which
I've tried before is very good you can get large canned hams or you can stock up on small cans have
a variety of foods on hand so that you're able to make all kinds of different meals and you don't
end up with food fatigue plus the more varied your foods are the more likely you are to be getting
a balanced diet because you're eating lots of different kinds of foods stock up on canned fruits
canned fruits are the one food that I am very careful of because I've had problems with them
not lasting past their best by use by sell by date it actually in my opinion is an expiration date
I've had the cans bloat I've had them leak I've opened up cans of fruit past the date
and the food just wasn't any good anymore it had deteriorated until it was no longer tasty at all
so I like to also have dried fruit and then my go-to is the freeze-dried fruit that you
can buy in number 10 cans at places like Walmart from Augason Farms and even from the LDS or the
Mormon church the freeze-dried and dehydrated foods that you can buy in the number 10 cans
are going to last from 25 to 30 years you don't have to worry about the food degrading
inside the container you don't have to worry about it leaking becoming spoiled you don't
have to worry about any of that like you do with regular canned foods many foods can last long past
the date on the bottom but you want to inspect it you want to see is it bulging is anything look
off is anything leaking or greasy then when you open it does it spurt or squirt give an off smell
does it look wrong smell wrong if you see anything that's suspicious then you need to throw it away
but if everything looks good you can probably taste it and if it's fine go ahead and eat it
don't eat questionable food it's not worth your health to try to get every last dollars worth
of food out of your stockpile it's more important that you preserve your health
next look at all the dried kind of packaged foods macaroni and cheese hamburger helper
stovetop stuffing mixes noodle mixes rice mixes you just add water maybe a few other ingredients
and they're so versatile they're easy quick to cook you could even make them over a camping stove
or an emergency stove if you didn't have a way to prepare them in your home say you lost your power
they're very versatile you can combine them with lots of your can and package
other foods so that you can stretch a meal and make the most out of your grocery dollars
when I go to the store I like to look high and low and look for different kinds of foods that
maybe I haven't seen before and if I see something that looks interesting I'll buy one and bring it
home and try it if I like it I'll go back and get more don't buy a bunch of things that you
don't know if you like them simply because they're on sale or somebody else likes them
because you may not and then you've wasted your food storage dollars on foods that no one cares
to eat you want to buy foods that your family is willing to eat that you're willing to prepare
and then you need to be able to rotate those foods look at all of the kinds of ingredients that go
with the foods that you need make sure you're looking at breakfast lunch dinner and snacks if
you want pancake mix have some syrups to go with it if you want to buy breakfast cereal choose some
powdered milk if you want to buy muffin mixes make sure you get the little paper cups to help
bake without having to clean up extra especially if water becomes in short supply you want to find
ways to have the things that you enjoy eating on a fresh daily basis and find a way to have it in
your food storage stockpile that's the best way to ensure that you're going to have plenty to eat
if you're on a special diet or you have food allergies it's even more important that you
find foods that can meet your needs because in an emergency a lot of people like me are willing to
eat almost anything but if you have food allergies or just for ethical reasons you don't want to eat
something then you need to make sure that you do have the foods that you want so you're not stuck
eating whatever is left if you have small children make sure you take their needs into account
if you have pets make sure that you have a supply of food for pets all of the canned and packaged
foods everything from peanut butter to crackers to cake mixes can last in your pantry for several
years but it isn't going to last forever you need to be rotating those foods and then replace them
then if you want foods that are going to last for the long haul that's when you turn to the
dried foods with the super long shelf life those are the foods that many preppers like to store
in jars and mylar bags and in buckets that's the foods like rice and beans oatmeal
pasta grains popcorn dehydrated and freeze-dried foods the foods that go in mylar bags and into
buckets are the foods that have less than 10 moisture in them foods that are great to use with
oxygen absorbers and mylar bags are foods that are completely dried less than 10 percent moisture
they would crumble and crack because they're dry the dried foods with the super long shelf
life there are all kinds of foods that we have in our pantry that we don't even think about but
we should because you want to make sure that you have an adequate supply of the foods that you use
from sugar to salt to spices syrups sauces condiments keep track of the foods that you eat
and then make sure that you have extras of those items in your pantry your prepper pantry can
absolutely be life-saving food that can sustain you in all kinds of situations it doesn't have to
be SHTF apocalypse end of the world it could be something as simple as you lose your job
someone gets sick and for some reason there's a winter storm and you can't make it to the store
knowing that you have the food that you need helps you have confidence that you'll be able to
get through whatever comes your way and that's all we could ask out of our life on a day-to-day basis
