  • Learn about the Top 10 Foods to Stock up on Now for Your Prepper Pantry before they go up in price or go out of stock because of a food shortage! In our Four Corners Pantry, we stock both perishable and non-perishable foods for food storage. But in our Prepper Pantry, we stock only non-perishable goods for long-term food storage and preparedness.
    As prices are rising and various foods are going out of stock, what should we be buying now? Specifically, I focus on what we need to stock up on NOW for our Prepper Pantry, including our Survival Pantry or Emergency Pantry. You may have certain foods in your pantry, but do you have these specific foods which store the best?

    My mother was born in 1935, and remembers the occupation and rationing of the WW2. And she and my dad brought up a family during inflation in the 70s and 80s. She has always said, buy only what you need. The thought was to leave enough for the next family. However, she has seen my pantry, and I have told her why I am stocking up on foods. She is now in the Hospital with covid, (doing fine!), and I was cleaning for her yesterday. As I was packing away some food on the counter I opened her kitchen cabinet, and to my joy and surprise, it is filled with canned and dry foods. 👍

      I’m glad to hear that your mother is doing fine. I will play pray for her complete recovery. I understand completely your mom‘s way of thinking. I don’t believe in hoarding. And I believe in stocking up little by little so that yes, there’s always plenty for others to buy. So it’s an easy process to do so that everyone can be stocked up. It made me so happy to hear that your mother had a nice little prepper pantry going! Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️

      @@klg9127 But it's pretty bad I believe. Countries such as Great Britain are already putting alarm tags on groceries like blocks of cheese and milk cartons due to high prices encouraging people to shoplift. Our country's media is telling us we're experiencing an inflation rate of about 8%. If we just buy a random product from the store though and compare its price to pre-inflationary times, it's probably somewhere between 15-21%
      Our central bank keeps changing the calculation method upon with inflation is being determined so that the calculated numbers dont rise as fast as the real life numbers. Note that America does that too (!!) So dont believe the media in this case. Calculate it yourself.
      Also, our stores are slowly running out of staple pantry foods. Things such as rice and pasta are not being restocked even remotely as fast as they used to. People still seem to live in a dream state. They acknowledge inflation but not food shortages. This will backfire for sure.
      Keep prepping. The war with russia is definately going to affect us immensly this winter.

    Regarding Organics: "Intermittent Fasting" is said to be effective at detoxing food additives. My mother did this all her life, but it was called "no eating after dinner, wait til breakfast". Our family went for about 14 hours without eating every day. Mom lived to be 97, but always looked considerably younger. Think of fasting as another tool for your skillset, maybe worth learning. Buy organic if you can, as it supports our farmers. But Mary is right, obsession is not required for success.

    • @MarysNest
      @MarysNest  Před rokem +7

      This is wonderful advice. My mom too, eats nothing after dinner. She’s also 97. There’s definitely something very important about eating just 2 to 3 meals a day and nothing after dinner. Thank you so much for the wonderful reminder. Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️ PS… and she never snacks either.🤗

      I safely eat when I get hungry, due to diabetes. Pending on my morning numbers I don't start my food intake up to 4 to 6 hours when I feel hungry. I don't set morning meal times but I try to stop eating by 7 pm. I drink water all day long.

      Id been intermittent fasting for 20yrs, never knew it had a name until recently. I call it, busy working mom that can only tolerate coffee in the AM until lunch. Then so exhausted after dinner no more food. But it does keep the food bills cheaper, is excellent for those watchin weight (ive never been more than 140lbs (9mos preg)... i believe that type of "fasting" has kept me 110lbs for decades. Some find it difficult to go 15+ hrs without eating, and it may be smarter to go slowly, gradually extending to 16/8 schedule, but It's easy after the 1st week. Good luck all be healthy, be well✌️

    Mary, you're so right about keeping our minds open to try different foods. My mother grew up in England during WWII. She often told me stories about the food rations and how they coped. I distinctly remember her telling me about the American GI's dropping half eaten apples and the British children picking them up and eating them. My Nan would grow potatoes and carrots in her tiny garden to supplement their food. But, food was appreciated and they were thankful to have it.
    I keep all of this in my mind these days. I am consciously exposing my children to different foods and trying to instill gratitude for our blessings, however small. I feel that if we practice this now, when we have much, it will be habitual then, when we may have little.
    Thank you for all of your helpful content. I appreciate you. ❤️

    Mary, you're my favorite 'prepper'....you come to us with great ideas and tips, but without fear-mongering. You're helping many people. We're being financially squeezed from every side these days and I believe we're going to have to be mindful of every way, both large and small, of reducing prices and making money stretch. I appreciate that you make a point of saying it's best to eat whole foods versus processed foods~~even if they're not top-notch organic quality.
    I tincture the green hulls of black walnuts because they contain a lot of iodine. This could be used as an iodine supplement in times when fish/sea products are unavailable or too pricey.
    You informed me of kippers a few years ago. I had seen them, but had no idea what to do with them and had never bought them. Now I keep a supply. We're not fans of canned tuna, but we like canned salmon, which can be pricey, but I buy a few cans when they're on sale. I think we're going to have to learn to be less fussy and eat with open minds, not just mouths. lol

    When I want beans as a side or main dish, I've found that when I cook them in a crock pot, they come out fantastic. I now cook them 1 or two hours on high then 14 hours on low. You have to add more water than usual but if you flavor them well, the extra broth is worth saving and can be reused for a fantastic base. I just did pinto beans like this w/garlic, onions, peppers and spices. Sometimes, I'll add a can of stewed tomatoes Black beans come out well too. Sometimes, I'll add curry spices to the black beans.

Back then, the farmers had canning houses where the women would bring their jars with them to work and at the end of the day they took their food and they all canned it before they went home.
    All these people not eating things unless they're organic.. you will find out when your children and other loved ones stomachs are growling, you will eat what you can get.
    I see ladies changing recipes to make them fat free all the time. You can't watch a cooking video without some chick commenting about how to replace this with that to lower calories and make it fat free..
    If you are in a situation where you aren't getting enough calories, the last thing you need to be worrying about is making everyone eat fat free because you're worried about your waistline. As for making things nonfat ... your brain is one big lump of fat. You NEED fats to help keep your brain healthy! Stripping away all fats out of food is nuts.

      @@hmartin751 I wasn't talking about eating unhealthy in a shtf scenario, I'm talking about trying to keep up your calorie and fat intake if and or when food is scarce and you have to keep your energy up and stay focused. Have you ever tested yourself doing things around your home all by yourself with no one helping you say for one week?
      If there's no power, no gas to cook your food, you have to cook so you make a fire, no charcoal, no lighter fluid, you gather up dry wood from your yard.. oak, hickory.. things that won't pop out all over the place as it burns. Soak some beans and put those in a pot on your fire. You're going to have to pay attention to them, liquids boil out fast on a fire and you'll burn your food so you will have to stay close by.because that's the only thing you will be eating that day and for breakfast if there are leftovers. You will need to heat up some water on the fire to wash your plates and utensils
      The next day, gather up a big laundry basket of clothes and a couple of sheets. Grab a big wash pan and take it all outside with your laundry soap. Walk around your yard and gather up some more wood and build another fire so you can heat up some water. Don't use the water hose... get a bucket and fill it up then walk around your house with it as if you had to walk to get water somewhere. Do that a few times to fill up your wash pan then heat up some for hot water.
      Put your clothes in the wash pan and your soap and begins hand scrubbing each piece while your sheets soak at the bottom for last.
      Blankets are a real treat to wash.
      When you get through scrubbing wring it all out and lay it to the side while you dump out the pan and go get water to fill it up again just like before by walking around your house for each bucket then pour your hot water in there to heat it up, you might need another so put another bucket on the fire.
      You also need a way to hang your clothes out to dry. You had a light lunch of maybe peanutbutter crackers or cheese and something you made to drink. Unless you cooked something on the fire..but that's going to take you a couple more hours to do.
      Now it's time to gather more wood and cook again and half the day is gone already and you and your family are pretty hungry so make chicken and dumplings this time from scratch and over the fire.
      Boil your chicken, pick the meat off the bones then get a good broth going. Next you're going to have to make the dumplings, roll them out and cut them. And you're going to have to stick close by or you might burn your food so you run back and fourth taking down what clothes got dry and fold them up while watching the food.
      That third day.. let's pretend you have to walk to a persons house to trade something with them and in return they give you a hefty hogs hind quarter and a pork belly for you to smoke and make bacon..
      To expend that kind of energy in this heat right now, now your lawn with a push mower and if you have a small mower, do it twice with weight from a backpack on. The neighbor you're trading that kind of thing for lives 2 miles from you..
      Pretend you get home and you're pretty tired from the heat and all that walking with that weight but you can't sit down because with no power, you have to process that meat by setting it up to smoke or cook it for your supper.
      This is the type of thing I'm talking about, all that energy and time doing mundane things we take for granted will keep you on the move with no time to sit or days off unless you do more ahead of time.. one day for laundry, one day baking bread, gathering wood that you may have to go farther out to get to store it up for later.
      You can prep and have a pantry set up but when you don't have the luxury of power and running water, you're going to get fit real quick but you're going to need calories and those fats to keep your energy up.
      Lot of people out there I've spoken to that are all prepped up think it's all you need to do and they live in this fantasy thinking it's all they'll have to do, but in order to utilize what you've gathered, it's a lot of time and work put in, in a day that runs by fast.
      All the old people I've talked to have told me no one in their family was fat because they had to work. One 89 year old told me they would sit at the table and you might have a drop of grease run down your chin but not one person in her family eating that greasy pork had heart problems because they stayed on the move..

Canned baked beans this year from dried beans with it. I go through a pint of raw honey in two weeks. Fortunately, I have a local beekeeper. Yes, the grains are getting ridiculous. Last years' harvest wasn't good and this year farmers can't afford the fuel and fertilizer as you referenced. The meat in the stores is from last years' animals. A record number of cattle are being taken now to auction because the hay hasn't produced due to the excessive heat and drought conditions. The ranchers have to downsize their herds before they starve to death. The same thing is happening with hogs and "surviving" chickens. Feed has risen 300% in the last year. Laying hens that produce eggs have to eat too. Many independent truckers can't make it with the fuel and DEF prices. Some of the large trucking companies have several trucks offline waiting for parts, mainly from China. We're in for some very hard times ahead.

    Loved this video. I have watched dozens of your videos and loved them all but I have to say this is easily my top favorite. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your videos. Short story my mother was a child in Jamaica during the depression. One of their traditional dishes is called ‘rice & peas’. Usually pinto, small red beans or pigeon peas are used. During the depression rice became scarce on the island so they would use spaghetti, breaking up the spaghetti into rice size pieces.

    They are rabbit trails that I like Mary I love the old stories and almost wish you would add more into them even if the videos are longer people can skip that part or go to the next section. You make it very easy I look forward to your videos on my Saturdays and try to watch the whole thing if I have time I'm going to be moving in the very foreseeable future and may not have time but maybe able to get up with this winter. This is not an ideal time to be moving and I realize it and my pantry is lower than it's ever been in my life and it scares me to death. Not exactly sure where we're going to land it's not necessarily going to be better but we need to move from here so it will be better we'll make it better.

I love this FIFO system because I know how many cans each row holds and I can see clearly at a glance if I need to buy more to fill it back up. Mine holds about 1000 cans.. Just shy of it.

    Sweet Mary, I live in an apartment complex for formerly homeless families. So often I see people hauling up bags of just absolute garbage they have bought for their families to eat. They parents say, O my kids won't eat those foods YOUR kids eat, yet THEIR kids come to MY HOME to eat what their kids call "REAL" food. Yes, It does take more planning to make ahead and freeze the healthy wholesome foods I make and put in my freezers for later but, really not that much more time. Thank you for the heart to heart message you started your video with. I wish more people would let people know that it is okay to get what you can within your budget.

I heard you say you didn't like the flavor of Avocado oil, there are a lot of fraud oils out there where they mix it with other oils. I use a brand called Chosen that was recommended. It has almost no taste at all, unlike Olive oil. If you haven't tried it you may find you like it. Walmart and Target sell it. I also use it to season my wood cutting board and cast iron.

    I have been trying out some of the things that might be less expensive, have a longer shelf life, or are non perishable compared to the things I eat now. I do keto but know that may have to go in the future. I do plan to stay away from sugar and I don't think that will be a problem. My parents lived through the depression and she didn't want to waste anything. We had cottage cheese made out of sour milk ate beans and cornbread, and ate from the garden. I have stared using evporated milk in soup and my coffee instead of expensive cream. I may still may buy it sometimes but I know I don't have to have it. I have allot of coconut oil on hand. Check the dates on the olive oil. If you can find it that has the date processed on it not exp date.
