AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper it's not too late to get some of the best budget survival
foods long term food storage money is tight for a lot of people we've had a lot of hardships in the
last year covid19 pandemic where people have been laid off food's in
short supply crops have been failing and food is just rising in cost we've had a lot of problems
in our country and around the world with having enough food many of us are concerned going forward
it could be worse so it's only prudent to stock up now because if for no other reason then food
prices are going up the food that you stockpile today then in the future you'll be eating it at
a less expensive price than if you had to go to the store and get cheapest food you've stockpiled it when
it costs less so that it makes it even worth more in the future plus if food becomes less available
you want to ensure that you have the food you need to provide the meals for yourself and your family
think of long-term food storage as prepping insurance that you will have the things you need
start with the cheapest basics of white rice choose white rice over brown rice simply because
it has a much longer storage shelf life white rice can be stored and last for 30 years brown
rice has oil in it and so with oil it will spoil it's not going to last nearly as long
if you want to have extra food on hand for an uncertain future choose foods that will store
the longest another best budget survival food long term food storage is oatmeal oatmeal is versatile
you can prepare it just as oatmeal you don't even have to cook it because they make overnight
oats you can just soak it overnight in a jar with either water or milk depending on how you like it
and then it can be ready to eat the next morning you can also add it into a lot of recipes oatmeal
can last for decades so it's a great basic food to have in your budget survival food
stockpile long term food storage pasta is also a wonderful versatile food pasta is long-lasting and
versatile not just in the shape but how many ways you can cook it and all of the different things
you can add to pasta to make a special meal beans are basic best budget survival food the problem is
a lot of people say I don't eat beans or I don't know how to prepare beans I'm not sure I want to
store food that I don't know how to prepare and I don't want to eat it then don't get it
just like anything else choose the foods you're willing to eat you know how to prepare them and
then you need to rotate them but it's good advice to get some dried beans store them in an airtight
container and put them away for 30 years if in 30 years maybe you've changed your mind and you're
willing to prepare them and eat them then you'll have that food on hand you can also get cans of
beans they'll last for many years in a cool dark dry pantry and it's easy to open up a can of beans
and add it into something next look for easy to open already prepared canned and packaged foods
meals that are open and eat you don't have to do any cooking whatsoever except maybe to heat them
up but if they're already prepared and you have no way to cook you can still open the container
and eat that food it can be everything from chili to tamales to ravioli beef stew meals that are
ready to eat in little dishes and pouches look for a variety go through the store look at the foods
that are just tear open and eat or heat for 90 seconds those are great foods to fill your pantry
because then you have some short term and some long term foods those foods can last in your
pantry for several years and they're a great way to keep yourself and your family filled
up in a hurry choose canned soups soups are a great way to have a fast and filling meal
if you don't have a lot of money you can pour a can of chunky soup over rice over mashed potatoes
over some cooked pasta and you can have a more filling meal to serve to your family for not a
lot of money stock up on canned meats that you enjoy eating maybe try a few new flavors to have
on hand i know i was recently in the store and there are getting to be shortages of fresh meats
so it's a good idea to have an extra supply of canned meat so you can still have the foods you're
used to eating it may not be exactly the way you used to eat it but it's still going to be more
familiar than if you have no meat at all if you see a food you think you might like buy one take
it home and try it if you like it go back and get more then you won't have wasted your food storage
dollars on foods that you're not willing to eat next get a selection of fruits and vegetables
look for some canned fruits and vegetables look for some dried fruits and vegetables you
can even find some freeze-dried they're a bit more expensive but you can get a big package
of freeze-dried vegetables that you can put away in your long-term food storage with your rice and
your beans they're dried foods that are designed to last for up to 30 years get a variety of spices
they're very inexpensive you can get them for less than a dollar choose the spices that you like
everything from garlic onion oregano cumin cinnamon the flavors that you like to add
into your recipes those are the spices that you should have extra on hand I like to buy them in
the smaller containers because once you open them that's when they begin to lose their freshness
and their aroma if you buy a great big package of spices and you don't use them all up within say a
year the quality and the freshness the flavor is just not as good and nice so I like to buy spices
in small bottles and then open a new fresh bottle when I need more stock up on some of these best
basic survival foods so that you'll have what you need no matter what the future brings if you liked
