    Here's an easy way to cook pasta. Boil water, put pasta in water, bring back to boil, stir, cover and let sit 15 minutes. Comes out perfect every time! No need to boil for 7 or 8 minutes like the package says. This works for almost every kind of pasta out there except perhaps angel hair. I would let that sit longer.

    That’s an impressive stockpile. Well thought out. I really don’t prep but I have started buying extra staples. And I have always put out a decent sized garden. My thought is that having all of what you have is great. But if we are talking survival, we don’t need a stockpile of every food item that we like. I’m not criticizing. I’m just saying that having all of our favorite sauces and dressings are really just a bonus. And if we have peanut butter and jelly and bbq sauce etc, we will be getting more than enough sugar for energy.
    I’ve not been watching for very long so this may have been talked about already, but I think a great way that all of us can be saving money on food is to start fasting one meal a day. Most Americans are overweight as it is. It would also condition our bodies and our minds to live on less. One thing I did during the pandemic was to walk 3 miles every day. I kept my immune system up and my mind clear of all of the stress. I know that’s a bit off subject but I is a way to keep us from needing so much medication by keeping our bodies healthy.

    Prep up on jarred bouillon (all types); Stock up on salt/pepper and honey (honey is a natural anti-inflammatory, many purposes); limited storage space: empty the bottom of EVERY drawer in your house-condo-apartment (clothes dressers, home offices drawers, kitchen cupboard drawers, storage closets drawers, etc.) and STACK IT UP. For storing multiple packets of dried soup mixes, gravy mixes, sauce mixes, spaghetti sauce mixes, any packaged seasonings, packaged dehydrated food products, etc.:: empty all shoe boxes to store said goods and label boxes accordingly. Line up the packets in shoe boxes as if each box were a file cabinet drawer, label accordingly, and STACK IT UP! Finally, do not discard glass jars with lids, of any type. You'll need these to fill with essentials to help others. Peace be to all.

    I am in Florida and don't want to stock food in the hot garage. I put extra foods in bins. I number each bin and write down on a sheet of paper all that is in the bin and tape it on the lid so I know what each bin contains. I also wrote down each bins contents on a sheet of paper and put each bin content copied into a dollar store three ring note book with all the contents of what bin it is in and what I have stored. I store the bins in my closets . This works for me in the heat of Florida as I rather store in the house where it is temperature controlled. Paper products and cleaners such as bleach, soap products etc are stored in the garage.

 honey powder, peanut butter powder, shortening powder. They are longterm preps I include and have several of each. Off the shelf is great but powdered is a great back up for extended longterm and is a hedge to the predicted food shortages and famine.

    No bugs? I keep a freezer for dry staples..flour, cornbread mix, pasta, rice, cereals, etc. I ditch the boxes and cut out cooking instruction and place in the baggies.
    I keep my floor to ceiling shelf units for canned meats, beans, seasoned veggies (Margaret Holmes) fruits, dried beans. I estimate at least a years worth of food for me. I also cook once a month for an outreach group.
    I lived in the mountains for a few years and winter could be tough..so I got in the habit of keeping a stockpile of food.

    Good choice with the alcohol. You can also use it to sterilize surgical equipment and your hands. You should also consider over canning with your rice. Only white rice though because brown rice has oil in it. You can do the same with your dry cereals too. Dry beans can be oven canned too. They shouldn't be stored in their plastic bags.

    Great stock up. I was able to get 5 gal. buckets from the flower store I work at. I will use them for storing foods in boxes or bags, like you use the litter containers. I stock up on pasta sauce and tomato-based items as we eat a lot of that. I don't have cereal because we don't eat it, but I do have quick oats. That's a good filler and if needed, we do like that and will eat it. I have our favorite ketchup, spices, that sort of thing. Great job. I'm looking forward to Wednesday's show!

    Yes, you can cut the firestarters to make them go further, my mom used to do it. I make my own firestarters with shredded paper in wax paper cups that I add melted wax in. Your wonky soap shreds might be usable for dish water washing too. When I have a lot of soap slivers, I "melt them" in a jar with water and have washed dishes with the melt water. You have done really well for having recently moved, starting the pantry again. You might look at the thrift or garage sales for a chafing dish holder to put the sterno cans in that has a base for the pot to sit on top or have a safe method already to go for use for safety. I didn't see any water stored? Extra supplies for the oil lamps are a great idea, I will get some. I hope we get another tour when the new shelves are in. I would store more milk powder/creamer to use with the cocoa powder to make hot cocoa as in winter if there is no electricity I think you will be wanting more hot drinks. Those cheap spaghetti sauces in the can work great as a soup base for ministrone. Love what you do! Thanks for sharing.

You see so many lists of store this and that, but when a real emergency happens you don’t know what to do with all that stuff. My motto is “store what you eat, and use it and replace it”. I know someone that has started a pretty good stockpile, but is eating out so they don’t use it. It’s going to spoil, if you don’t use it!

    I live in Hawaii where earthquakes of 2-4 magnitude happen frequently and sometimes we get hit with hit with 7-8 mothers that are able to rock homes off its foundations. Ask me how I know. So my storage pantry shelves should actually be strapped to the wall. I haven’t done that yet but to be safe until then I am very careful to put heavy items like cases of canned food on the lower shelves. The middle shelves are where cans of coffee and canisters of oatmeal are and the top shelf has light things like powdered milk, baking mixes and dehydrated potato things. If I had glass jars they would be close to the floor just in case the shelf went kaboom. Hopefully less to clean up. Just something for some of your followers to think about.

    Golly, Your choices look so much like my ideas of a prep pantry - only yours is so much neater and I have kitty litter in my kitty litter buckets with black plastic bags for people litter when that stuff hits the fan.
    You know that garlic has medicinal benefits. So does my other must-have, cinnamon.
    If I could, I would eat only the highest quality organic food, and still have my 18-year-old figure and pearly white teeth in my head, not the drawer...
    - But, laughing my socks off - I have to be real. A canned veggie or a box of dry cereal is so much better than a sorry organic fruit or a sugarless 25 whole-grain slab of bread with mold. When the power is kaput - I choose to eat what I can gum that is not completely poisoned than starve or kill somebody because my blood sugar is on the floor at 30.
    I bought Sterile or cheaper plastic totes to stack since I have no shelves in my tiny home. Then I tuck blankets, adult diapers or bowel management meds on top to disguise
