I said it before and will say it again. My prepper pantry got me through the panic rush of Covid without ever feeling the shortages.

[evershade.after.dark.]

As of this week, I am now living alone. My youngest child moved into his own apartment. Not only am I entirely readjusting my food budget, recipes, and shopping habits, but I decided to begin an emergency pantry. Today I purchased my first two items--a sack of flour and a sack of cornmeal. Both are sitting in my small chest freezer. I know a lot of single adults who suffer with food insecurity, and I don't want to be put in that position again.

I gotta say it...going into a store and slamming them on their prices and offering less expensive alternatives WHILE IN THEIR STORE is boss level brass cojones! 👑

[WinryLive]

Keep going on this list, please! I'd love to see it become a series where over the course of a year, you've done $5 a week for the prepper pantry.

[lyndamartin]

I would add powdered milk and peanut butter. Also canned veg and tomatoes. Pasta. Canned soup. Tea and coffee. Little by little, one item a time and it quickly adds up. Thank you for another fantastic video Christine.

The older my girls get the more they want to learn how to make things from scratch....makes me soo happy!

[sherryr]

I appreciate doing it at a ‘regular’ store. Much more inclusive. If someone is lucky enough to have a discount store they can buy more but it applies to a lot more people this way.👍🏼

[valerieoliva]

For pasta sauce, another route is to simply buy tomato sauce and season it with Italian Seasoning, season all and garlic powder...best stuff ever

[jacquelinek]

I think you nailed the first nine weeks. Week ten I'm buying $5 of canned tomatoes. I find diced the most versatile. Lots of flavor, vitamin C, lots of ways to use them.

[ardeahem]

I would add molasses to the list. It's great for making your own bbq sauces and for making brown sugar (I haven't bought brown sugar in over 10 years)!

Something to consider as an alternative for bread is cornmeal. Cornbread is made from a batter, and you can add veggies, meat, or cheese to it. You can even make it sweet. It's still an inexpensive choice, but it's MUCH easier to make than bread because you aren't guessing about the yeast or kneading or rising.

[RobinL]

I would add pasta, and a few cans of vegetables and fruit. For a while we followed 5.00 fridays, picking up a couple of sale items around 5.00. It could include tissues, dish soap, toothpaste or batteries. It was a nice way to put something extra away each week.

[susanpumphrey]

Several months ago I bought an electric canner (it was a little over $300 I think, so not super cheap but not like a freeze dryer or anything really costly) and ever since then I've been canning meat that we find on clearance. Saves the freezer space and it's wonderful to have ready-to-go meat on the shelf for the days that I don't really feel like cooking. 20 minutes or so to heat it up good, a couple of extra ingredients for a soup/stew or something for a side dish, and a from-scratch dinner is on the table!

If anyone needs another prepping/stocking up tip

My husband gets paid every Friday and I immediately have my grocery budget taken out into a different account. I then Grocery shop for the next week either Friday, Saturday, or Sunday depending how busy we are.

If there aren't any good sales, I sometimes take that money and go to somewhere like Aldi where everything is super cheap and use it to get stock up items like canned goods, salad dressings, peanut butters, jellies, etc.

OR if that stuff is all good, I'll keep that money in that account and accumulate it over the next couple weeks and then go to Costco or sams (or both) and get those items I get there in a BIG haul.

♥ I usually keep dried mashed potatoes (like Potato Buds) on hand for the times I run out of potatoes and don't want to go to the store. Years ago, there was a government surplus program, where we could get dried/powdered whole eggs that made good scrambled eggs, and you could use it when baking. I wish stores would carry it. I noticed some on Amazon, but it seems so expensive.

[ruthmanor]

Cooking oil (Canola or olive oil) is a must for a prepper pantry, I think. You need it for baking most breads and muffins unless you have applesauce at hand.

[annapower]

Christine I love how you are giving us these creative ways to feed our families on a low budget and showing how we can even build a pantry on an extreme budget. I’d add more spices to the pantry list - as little amounts are left over each month. Great job!!! These videos are really on point now with the high prices of groceries

[brendaleick]

With a food dryer you can shop the frozen vegetables when they are on sale. Come home, pop them straight on the drying trays. Once dry, pour into wide mouth canning jars with the sealing attachment. No need for freezer space and usually several bags fit in one jar. Its so cool.

[kalirussell]

Great list! If the item for the week is less than the $5, you could add some super cheap seeds (i see them a lot at the dollar store for 25-50 cents) for quick growing stuff like radishes (did you know the greens are edible? Best if cooked), lettuces, etc. Growing these in a windowsill will give you a little nutritional boost to your stored foods!
Canned tomato paste would be good too, to add flavor and nutrients, and is usually less than $1.

My mother went to the store every day. I became the opposite and now have to have enough food to feed the neighborhood at all times 😂. Thanks for the advice and help with what to cook from that. Love your channel!
