Prepping supply haul Alaska prices adding to prepper stockpile hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska
Prepper it's a great idea to always be adding to your prepping stockpile I thought I would show you
the prepping supplies and the prepper pantry foods that I bought today to add to my stockpile and
boy was I surprised at the prices of some of the items Alaska Prices groceries and how much things
are increasing there are shortages on the shelves and pretty much everybody is sharing that same
experience I thought I would share some of these prepping items with you and the price is what they
cost in Alaska simply because I think prices are going up I know things cost more in Alaska but I
thought I would share those prices just to see what they are in your area so you can compare
80 hefty bags were 16.49 which I thought was pretty expensive but garbage bags are
something that you absolutely need in your prepping supplies you need to be able to
take out the trash plus trash bags are also nice if for some reason you need to use a
portable toilet you're going to want to have tall kitchen garbage bags to line your toilet
these were good there's all kinds of things you can do with plastic bags so make sure that you
have lots of them and multiple sizes and different kinds I loaded up on kleenex tissues because they
had them on what they considered a sale but I thought it was a phenomenal increase it was
17.98 for a six pack of kleenes so basically the sale price of kleenex is now three dollars a box
you can sometimes pay less for generic ones but they're not always available so if having kleenex
is something that you want think about it while it's available now if you want to stock up on
your winter supply because not only are we still suffering through the covid coronavirus pandemic
but cold and flu season is coming sometimes it's also easy to grab a kleenex if you want to open a
doorknob or wipe up a small spill on the counter because we just don't know what all the germs are
out there anymore and sometimes it's helpful to have a few more disposable items on hand
so I stocked up with 32 boxes of kleenex it's always good to be adding to your
prepper pantry to the foods that you're using and so the other items that I bought were food
that I was just replacing items that I have used and I want to make sure that I
have one buy one so that I have a few extras I bought some heinz tomato ketchup one to replace
the one that we've emptied and then a backup spare so that I'm adding to my stockpile and remember
when you're adding things to your stockpile rotate prepper pantry foods first in first out how to you
want to reach into your pantry shelf push the old things to the front of the shelf
and then put these new food behind old food so that you're rotating first in first out and
you're not getting stuck with just pushing food into the front of the shelf pile and then finally
the food ones in the back have been there for 10 or 15 years and they aren't any good anymore so
always make sure you push the existing stockpile of food that's on your shelf to the front
and put your new stockpile behind it we finished a jar of peanut butter so I bought one to replace
it and an extra one for my stockpile so just the same thing put these in order on your pantry that
the older ones go to the back so that you're using and rotating your stock I bought a few
cans of sliced potatoes they're easy to add into recipes make into quick potato salads add into
all kinds of things they're already cooked and so if you don't have the time to cook potatoes
in a big old recipe these are handy to have a few of these in your prepper pantry I did buy three
of them but when I got home I realized one of the cans of potatoes had a big old dent right on the
seal and so I went ahead and used that up already just to make sure that I don't have a damaged can
in my prepper pantry it's one thing if they have a dent in the middle of the can but see this
one it was completely dented all right along the rim and so there's no way you want to put
that can of food away in your prepper pantry food stockpile look you can't even open it with the can
opener and so of course I went ahead and examined it to make sure that it looked okay it smelled all
right and then it tasted fine so I went ahead and I already used this can of potatoes that's what's
discouraging is we try to add to our prepper pantry stockpile but the cans are nowhere near
as sturdy as they used to be so yes that's nice that they're bpa free and all of that but it
would be nice if they were also sturdy look over the cans and make sure they're not damaged before
you buy them but then when you get home you need to look them over again because i've just found
nearly every shopping trip some can that wasn't damaged when I bought it was by the time I got
home they're just not made very well and the clerks tend to just throw things into the bags
I bought three packages of ritz crackers these are nice to have on hand I like the
little eight pack sleeves because it seems like you don't have to open a great big package and
they seem to stay fresher a little longer if you're opening up a smaller pack at once but
that's my preference and so I have three of these because these are crackers that we like
to eat with salami cheese peanut butter you know everything tastes good on the ritz and it's pretty
much true prices food Alaska the potatoes were 95 cents the peanut butter was 2.99 the ketchup was
4.99 and it's only 20 ounces I thought that was a crazy ridiculous and the ritz crackers were 3.29
the date on the crackers is february 2022 so I have a few months a few packages so try to
be rotating them within that point that time frame because these you just can't
you really can't prolong the life of things like crackers and cereal just because they
have so many ingredients and oil and things like that in them so it's nice to have extras
but try to use them before the date on the box simply so that they taste more delicious
so it wouldn't make sense to buy 20 boxes if you can't use them within that time frame so
get a few and then as you're rotating replace them so that you'll still have a fresh stockpile
we don't need to buy everything we need today for for the rest of our lives we want to buy
the suitable amount that we can actually eat and use it before it would not be any good to eat
canned foods last longer than packaged foods the better you store your food the longer it lasts so
keep adding to your stockpile look for interesting ways to kick it up a notch keep things interesting
but make sure that you have the things you need it's lifestyle insurance so that every day can
go as smoothly as possible if you enjoyed my video I hope you'll share it with someone else you think
