10 Food Storage Myths Debunked 👀 *Video Links* 👀

[carolynsinyard]

Thank you for sharing this very informative video on food storage. I rotate through our pantry all the time. I worked in retail for several years and I live by the motto: old to the front and new to the back. I also date everything that goes into our pantry so that I will know how long it has been in storage. Have a blessed day.

I have felt this way since I started prepping. Buy what you eat & eat what you buy.

I agree with you. I think it's a good idea to have some long term storage (dry rice, beans, etc) but i also like to have basic canned goods (soups, chili, pork & beans) in case of power outage which is more likely where I live and I can just heat them up on the camp stove. Great video. Thank you.

Thanks for the reminder to keep stock ever-moving!

I use a ‘float’ system, like in accounting. I invested in a 2 year food supply in 2020 of things we eat often, and continue to buy normal groceries but use the food supply and replace with the new groceries. Just normal groceries in the pantry or freezer. Of course everything you buy should have at least 2 years to the expiration date.

I don't have freeze dried food stocked up, to expensive for my budget. I do however have a stocked pantry that we rotate through, I don't think there is anything on my shelves that has come close to the expiry date. We don't eat out so that helps with rotating through our food as well.

Sounds like a good, flexible approach.

With over 30 years of food storage, you have come up with the same conclusion I have. Higher quality food. We eat out of our pantry. We do have FD foods.. but use the, and rotate, rotate, rotate.

I worked in retail in the past so I learned to always rotate your stock so I do.😊

We bought a freeze drier 3 years ago and use it rather than canning, freezing or dehydrating much of our annual garden harvests. Just personal preference for weight, appearance, and ease of rehydrating. We also have rise, legumes, and grains for SHTF storage. I'm OCD on freezing grains, legumes, pasta, and flours for 72 hours before vacuum sealing. We've never had bugs (knock on wood). Everything's in a dimly lit cool basement we call the dungeon. With 4 cats, there's been one mouse in 18 years - and it lasted less than thirty seconds. Two of the reformed feral cats living here regularly bring me mouse "gifts" from a field 50 yards away, but IDK if they catch them in the field or nearer the house, but no mice inside here! Now I need to go check my bucket lids. Thank you!

As seniors, it didn't make sense to me to have items with a 25-30 year shelf life. Not much point in having foods that will outlive us! Better for us to limit our storage to no more than 5 years shelf life & just keep rotating.
And after Prince Charming's heart attack 2 years ago that required quite a few dietary changes, we thankfully didn't have a huge supply of foods to get rid of in favor of more heart healthy options.

Freeze dried foods are expensive. I thought about a freeze dryer, but too expensive and it wouldn’t pay for itself.
Thanks for your tips of wisdom.
Have a blessed day!

All tips for proper food storage are greatly appreciated, thanks.

[monkeymommy]

Thank you, there is always something to learn or be reminded of when it comes to food storage.

[maryannbergeron]

This video is needed by so many in these days. I am definitely on the 2 year rotation schedule. I agree that I am not invest anymore money in freeze dried food. I’ll use what I have now. Thank you.

Fruit doesn't seem to store as long as other food items. Thabks for keeping us on our toes.

[Sajend]

You're very smart. I'm going to have some basic food and finding good storage or mini silo 😁

[debbiekiehl]

As always - another great video filled with good advice! We've all learned our lessons along the way if we've been at it awhile. Hope viewers learn from your experience. Thanks!
