Dollar Tree Last Chance to Stockpile 2021 What Did I buy at Dollar Tree last chance survival shopping spree
hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper last call shopping Dollar Tree I'm heading back to
Alaska whenever I go to the lower 48 I love to hit up the Dollar Tree store because they have such
great buys and you just can't find those prices in Alaska it costs too much to ship everything up
here to Alaska we don't have a Dollar Tree store and so it seems like bargain hunting whenever I
go to the lower 48 I take a suitcase that I leave plenty of room for my treasures from the Dollar
Tree what did I pack this time let me show you the treasures that made it into my suitcase for
a trip back to Alaska from the Dollar Tree in the lower 48. the first few items I bought were food
I bought a package of the plain pancake and waffle mix yes I can get that in Alaska but
this is a nice small packet and at my house I have all blueberry with the addition of a beer which
no you can't get that at the Dollar Tree you can make a nice loaf of bread you just need three cups
of pancake mix a beer two tablespoons of melted butter stir it all together and bake it you have
the easiest loaf of bread you could ever want I bought two packets of the protein blend and energy
blend imperial nuts these are great food choices for your Bug Out Bag your Get home Bag your 72
Hour Kit for snacks for your hiking bag and they're great long lasting packets of food they
have several years shelf life on them and they're great delicious nutritious snacks
they look like they'd be one serving snack packs but guess what there's three servings of nuts per
container if you read on the back and so it gives you three times the calories this is 140 this is
160 calories per serving. so there's three times those calories if you're looking at nutrition for
your calorie count for your emergency gear or if you want to make sure you're not eating too much
the quarantine 15 has been a problem since this pandemic I found some veggie chips that
are just carrots so they're dehydrated carrots it's hard to find small packets of dehydrated
vegetables for your prepper pantry the dehydrated carrots are a product of Mexico they have nearly
a year's shelf life on them and they are just carrots in the package great for food storage I
have two packs of granola bites different flavors one is chocolate one is cinnamon these are also
great for your prepper pantry food storage Bug Out Bag your Get Home Bag your hiking gear snacks in
your prepper pantry granola bites are low sodium dairy free gluten free they're made in the USA
but once again it's 2.5 servings of 125 calories per serving so there's more calories in one of
these little packs than you might think these have a best buy sell by date of almost a year
so they're great to add to your prepper pantry food storage and your emergency supplies
these tropical fruit packs I bought a bunch of them because when it says delicious taste they
really are I bought one to try it each big bag contains four servings of dehydrated fruits and
they're already individually packed in four little containers so you have four servings of fruit of
110 calories each that are pre-portioned so say you have kids you're traveling with a friend
you want to have four days of snacks in your Bug Out Bag this is a great product for a nice
tropical fruit trail mix they are really delicious and the Vigo saffron yellow rice it's good and I
hadn't seen it a long time great for prepper pantry food storage so yes I made room for it
in my suitcase it's an authentic Spanish rice it's great you just need to add water a splash of olive
oil it makes a nice big pot of rice you can add a can of chicken add some vegetables and make a big
old meal out of one package of yellow saffron rice from Dollar Tree something I'd never seen
at the Dollar Tree before was 100 pure refined coconut oil comes in a nice little container
the shelf life is two years coconut oil it's by a company called Butcher Boy but it's a woman-owned
company so I thought that was pretty funny next I bought the little jars of coconut oil moisturizing
cream lotion this product is absolutely delicious smelling it's a nice lotion it works great on your
skin and I made room for three of them in my suitcase I also like the Dermasil lotion
but it's not as convenient a container I like reaching into the little coconut dipping jars
and when you get about twenty percent left in the Dermasil lotion tube it's hard to get it out
I noticed this seemed to be a last call on the eight ounce size of Dermasil I went to a different
Dollar Tree store when I first arrived in the lower 48 and these Dermasil were half this size
so I thought I better snap up a few of the large ones it's a last call on the big ones I'm afraid
I bought a few cotton rounds these are great for removing your eye makeup they're also good in
first aid because they don't leave any of the little fibers that you get with a cotton ball
they're great for fire starters you can dip them in wax and make a fire starter you can
rub them in some petroleum jelly or you can turn them into char cloth all of those are
great fire starters with cotton rounds I bought an all-purpose scrubby sponge yes I know you can
get other sponges but at the time I saw these I thought they're a good quality so I'll get them I
like to use them to clean the filter on my Berkey water filter system they make great DIY ice packs
freeze them in a ziploc bag and they're great in your cooler keep everything cool for a long time
and when they thaw out they're not going to drip all over like a baggie of ice cubes would
antibacterial wipes have been hard to find these are great travel size I put them in
my purse used them on the airplane you can take them to the store use them on your grocery carts
and it's nice to have the ability to have an antibacterial travel wipe two packs of 15 each so
you get 30 antibacterial wipes in the one dollar packet head to the kitchen department and get the
Betty Crocker white scissors these work great they last and last they're super sturdy they're great
for kitchen shears they have the little teeth here that can help you open a jar and they're
sturdy I love them can't have too many pairs of one dollar sturdy scissors that's for sure
bottles of hand sanitizer this covid coronavirus pandemic seems to be going on and on so if you
have run out of hand sanitizer this might be a good time to pick some up at the dollar tree
I like the sandwich size and the snack size zip top plastic bags and maybe you've seen in another
video where I take two packages and stuff them in the box together they take up less room in
my pantry and in my suitcase I do that with the baggies and I love Reynolds foil wrappers so it
looks like I have four boxes but I actually have eight because you can fit two packages in a box
these Reynolds foil wrappers are great for covering baking sheets for making foil
packets cooking in the barbecue cooking in your fire pit they're great if you run out of water
you can line things dishes with foil and then you don't have as much cleanup if you don't have water
for sanitation purposes it's been harder to find just plain paper plates I like to put these over
something in the microwave as a splatter guard and I love to use straws with my diet Pepsi
I didn't forget my dog Teddy I bought some of the chopping mats these are great to put under
the pet food water bowl it's easy to wipe up the floor you can also put these down and put them
under your muddy snowy boots when you're coming in the door or you can use them as a chopping mat I
thought about trying to use one of these for one of the pandemic PPE face shields but you can see
it's not clear and you can't really go shopping looking through a sheet of wax paper face shield
i bought a couple of the squeaky toys for my dog Teddy he found another one in my suitcase
he loves those he already found the other one in the suitcase and claimed it for himself
I got him a nice soft baby blanket you can see he chewed on that already it'll be nice
to wrap him up in the cold winter and some Healthy Max dog treats I've had some different
kinds varieties Healthy Max dog treats before the Healthy Max dog treats these are for skin and coat
and hopefully he's going to enjoy those
yes it's dark winter in Alaska UV zero but the sun will come out again spring and summer
will be here so I stocked up on some Dollar Tree sunglasses and some dollar tree readers
Teddy already chewed up this pair good thing they're only one dollar I found this really nice
binder pouch it has two pockets and it would be great for storing your important information in
something like your Bug Out Bag one of the things you should do this year is make sure that you have
the information your identification your insurance cards all those kind of things put with your
emergency gear in an emergency if you need to bug out evacuate leave your home you're going to
need to have your id your insurance papers your emergency contacts written on a piece of paper
all those kinds of emergency information can be stored in a container like this Teddy got a little
chew on already I got a three pack of athletic socks I've gotten socks at Dollar Tree before
and I thought they held up really well so I'll be interested to try this one
and then I found an infinity scarf that's fleece warm and it'll be cozy
