can't find meat choose these foods prepper pantry food stockpile stock up before panic hi it's
AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper are you worried about rising cost of food stockpiling food staying ahead of panic buyers
are you concerned that you maybe don't have the meat in prepper pantry food stockpile that you
want or that you can't find meat in the store well sometimes if you can't find the foods that
you want you want to think of grocery shopping as a scavenger hunt is what i always do i look
for substitutes food things that could help fill in those gaps yes maybe you can still find the
meats that you want that are fresh you can take them home put them in your freezer maybe can them
yourselves perhaps you're finding that meat is too expensive and it's not a wonderful option
for you anymore plus if your freezer is full or you don't have one or you have canned up every
jar you have or you don't do canning then maybe you have stocked up on all of the canned meats
that are available so what do you do next if the meat is gone or you can't afford to buy it anymore
you can still stay ahead of panic buyers by looking for ideas of things that include meat
that maybe are in a different area of the store that you didn't think about before
think about lunch type foods and you can find individual packets of different kinds of meat
i like to buy Bumble Bee salmon i like to buy Starkist tuna i like some of the flavored tunas
such as the lemon pepper but Starkist Tuna Creations Microwave Tuna Thai Green Chili not
to my liking i've tried them i don't like them and so i don't want to stockpile Starkist Tuna
Creations Microwave Tuna Thai Green Chili anymore individual packets of meat are great because
you can have a small serving of meat or you can put meat packets in your Bug Out Bag or your 72
Hour Kit you can have individual servings meat so it can help you plan how much food do i actually
have prepper pantry food stockpile for what i need in an emergency situation if you're one person and
you want to have a serving of meat every day you could buy seven Bumble Bee tuna salmon packets
you have seven days worth of meat they come in different meat varieties so it's giving you
options that you're not eating the exact same meat packet every single day
look for the packets of Dollar Tree Brunswick tuna salad Brunswick chicken salad that includes
little crackers and even has a little spoon in it open the little can tuna or chicken open the
crackers spread it i really like the Dollar Tree Brunswick chicken i'm not a big fan of tuna i like
chicken and so i prefer to stockpile more chicken than tuna so it's all about what you enjoy eating
stock up on those foods i think you can find these meat spreads in Underwood ham tuna chicken look
around maybe you can find other varieties of these little spreadable meats and what's surprising is
even with crackers in them they have about a year shelf life the crackers would be what would become
stale and then the can is a pull off the top like you find inside say Pringles potato chips it's not
a solid can that might last longer but these are really good these are handy to have they make a
full serving there's actually quite a bit of food that's filling in these plan to rotate them close
to the date simply because the packaging is not going to be the longest lasting they're a mixture
of ingredients plus meat you don't want your food to spoil before you have a chance to use it so
buy as many as you think you can use and then if you eat one then you replace it if you want
to build your stockpile when you use one by two and then you have more and that's how you build
up your pepper pantry another option look for Gallo Hormel sausages pepperoni salami you can
find Gallo Hormel meats in shelf stable packages they're quite good they're reasonably inexpensive
and you can have meat last quite a while plus if you want Hormel sausage pepperoni salami to
last longer try storing them in the refrigerator or the freezer look for varieties of jerky you
can find turkey jerky beef jerky pork jerky you can find jerky in all different types of flavors
and seasonings so that you have a huge variety you could eat jerky on the go right out of the
package or you could drop them into something that you're cooking and they would rehydrate
and be more like fresh meat you could add them into a rice dish ramen dish into pastas macaroni
and cheese there's all kinds of things you might be cooking you could drop jerky in while those
foods are cooking jerky would rehydrate and be a little more soft and more like a serving of meat
look for bacon bits you can find artificial ones in a little shaker jar give you a little
meat flavor or you can find real bacon bits which add real meat into a dish that you're preparing
look for bouillon you can find bouillon in cubes you can find bouillon in little powder
packages you can find it in jars find a brand that you enjoy eating and find it in a format that is
the size and serving that you would want you need to read on the ingredients some of these include a
lot of crazy ingredients like monosodium glutamate so if you don't want to eat modestonium glutamate
make sure that you're reading so that you're not getting more than what you want there are all many
different brands and concoctions so likely you can find one that would be nice to have in your pantry
and these take up way less space than having cans or boxes of broth look for something like
Loma Linda products they're plant-based foods but they're quite good Loma Linda foods very
nutritious and they're designed to be meat replacements you can find Loma Linda taco filling
Loma Linda fishless tuna and even packets of Loma Linda sloppy joe Loma Linda also has some just
full meal type grab-and-go foods that are quite good and they are really top quality Loma Linda
is part of the Seventh-day Adventist church and they are vegetarians Loma Linda has producing top
quality vegetarian type dishes since 1890. don't panic yet you can still find canned foods that
include meat as part of their recipe you can get Dollar Tree Walmart chicken a la king chicken and
dumplings how about sausage gravy you can find sausage gravy in cans you can find different
manufacturers you can also find a nice sausage gravy by Pioneer Gravy that i think is quite tasty
it's in a powdered sausage gravy it takes up way less space in your prepper pantry food stockpile
but then you need to actually be able to add water and prepare pioneer gravy so sometimes having
something you can just open it that's already prepared sausage gravy in a can can be a benefit
look for different kinds of stews you can find beef stew you can even find Juanita's pozole which
is a pork stew that's commonly found in Mexico so look for that on Hispanic aisle if you can't
find it on the regular canned food easy ready to go meals look for different recipes of chili you
can find chicken chili you can find beef chili there are different varieties canned chili you
can find different manufacturers Wolf Hormel Dennison's Walmart Dollar Tree have
different flavors you can also find chili with no beans which tends to have more meat in it and then
you can add a can of beans and make it your own kind of a recipe chili with no beans is also a
nice sauce maybe you want to serve chili no beans over pasta look for Hormel tamales they come also
chicken tamales or beef tamales when you open a can of Hormel tamales they're wrapped in paper
so pour out the sauce unwrap the tamales before you prepare them in your dish look for some of
the pasta meals like by Chef Boyardee you can get beefaroni spaghetti and meatballs how about
ravioli Chef Boyardee come even mini ravioli extra over stuff you can find Chef Boyardee with sausage
beef and they're all a little bit different one of the items that i found was the lasagna
doesn't have any meat in it anymore and it is not very tasty so if you were looking at trying the
canned lasagna i would steer away from that one still looking for meat flavor how about some gravy
you can find Campbell's beef gravy chicken gravy turkey gravy or even Campbell's cream of chicken
soup then this gives you the flavors of meat you can serve it with your other foods with
your noodles Idahoan mashed potatoes with rice and if you have a little can of meat this can stretch
it farther and give you a bigger fuller meal that spreads out that meat flavor throughout your meal
check out the soup aisle find canned chunky soups that include meat i think it's getting harder to
find soups that include meat everything seems to be minestrone or tomato with something else in
it or just vegetable or vegetable with noodles they don't seem to have the chunky soup options
with meat they're much harder to find since the pandemic but you still can find them something
besides just chicken noodle soup look for Progresso Campbell's chicken cheese enchilada
flavor or pub style chicken pot pie i've also found a sausage gumbo which is pretty good
if you see something you think you might like it buy one and take it home and try and if you
don't like it don't buy anymore stock up on foods that you enjoy eating rather than just foods that
were on sale or nobody wants to eat you can also find beef kinds of soup Campbell's chunky sirloin
steaks sirloin beef i think they even have beef stew types of soups and you can find
beef with vegetables and barley and you can buy the little cans or the big cans i was surprised
that these little tiny cans are now 1.79 the chunky soups are nice you can serve them over rice
mashed potatoes noodles biscuits serve them with some toast and you can make a big meal out of some
of the campbell's progresso chunky soup the little cans of soup tend to be more a bowl of brothy soup
the prices are really going up as the varieties are going down and we're having a harder time
finding the selection of foods that we want at prices that we can afford when you go to
the store and you're looking for meat don't panic if you can't find the meats that you want
look all around think creatively find some foods that include the meat flavor that you want
and then find the ones that you enjoy eating and stock up on those for your prepper pantry
get there ahead of the panic buyers that's for sure we don't know what's coming but
it's going to be a bumpy ride ahead i'm afraid if you enjoyed my video i hope you'll share
