HI Barbara, I chose a CampChef butane stove with extra canisters of fuel. I gave all four of my daughters each a set so they could cook inside and crack a window.

I used those stoves when I used to teach inside stores. They work great for boiling water and the fuel lasts a long time. Good job! eating well from basics…….. Dry cream of soup mix, then add chicken flavors or mushroom bits Make own bisquick for so many uses, but we love a biscuit cheese loaf made with this, and sour cream muffins, and it is used for the magic coconut pie.

Hi Janet, I wish you were my neighbor! We would have so much fun trading ideas!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your comment!! If people stock their pantry the meal ideas are truly endless.

Good job!! Hi Linda, read all the comments and I know it was a long time ago, but my understanding is that peanuts grow one of the more toxic molds around. I am sensitive to them, so pb is just rat bait around here anyway… take care and thanks for all the info you share!

Hi Jan, I have heard that about peanuts and molds. I got the giggles over the PB as rat bait, LOL! I love it!! Thank you for your kind words, Linda. I have so many large cans of chicken and now only need small cans…so today I decided to allow myself to be shocked with the prices.

DG only had 3 cans 1. I went to IGA and the generic brand was. I bought several and as I was leaving, manager said truck was unloading.. gas costs made me not want to return tomorrow. It is a shock for sure to see the prices. also pet food is going thru the roof! so if find on sale grab it!

Hi Daphne, I have wondered about the flip lids! Pet food is really going through the roof on price!! Oh my goodness! I have forgotten about boxed milk from dollar tree—it has a great shelf life and about the same price as evaporated milk…mix one cup of water with a can of evap milk for real milk.

Great for backup. I wish my husband believed in storage for more than a month or two. I do get some here and there to make sure we have enough. I got them for nearly nothing and he complained we had 6 gallons of Miracle Whip.

He just does not understand now if it is something he likes well that is another matter. Go figure. Hi Jackie, we can only do what we can do. I love the 6 gallons of Miracle Whip he said!!

Sometimes it takes a major disaster to see why er stock, hang in there my friend. All is good, Linda. I have a bunch of old time cookbooks many hard bound or church cookbooks and surprisingly thousands of eBooks that I have gotten off the internet. One place I love to get old cookbooks in eBook form is the survival sites on MeWe.

They can go to mewe. Hi Jackie, thank you for the links to get the old time cookbooks and recipes. Those are treasures! Making home made Baking Powder Substitute is a great idea. Cornstarch or Arrowroot optional. This equals 1 tsp. Baking Powder. To make larger batches just remember the ratio is 1 part baking soda plus 2 parts cream of tartar and 1 part cornstarch or arrowroot.

Mix roll into balls and bake on a parchment lined sheet for min. Remove and brush with melted butter. Serve hot or warm. Makes 12 rolls. I just taught this last week at Church. The recipe is from Make Your Own Meals. Hi Cheryl, oh this is awesome, thank you! We need every recipe we can get our hands on in case we lose the internet for extended periods.

I love tips like this! This reminds me of the season the grains stayed in the silo bins too long, were already put up damp because of the weather engineering in those parts, and mold was a huge issue that was addressed by many farmers —advising buyers to beware.

We think of mold on food, but it can be on anything if the conditions are right or wrong. God bless us —what next?? I really wanted a white stove and fridge to match my year old dishwasher replaced last year…but NOPE!!!!

HI JayJay, I can almost smell the mold from my home just hearing this. I just bought a freezer and stove within the last month. They are so hard to get. Thanks for the heads up. I have a 55 lb border collie and I have noticed that she prefers the gravy type of canned food.

We feed her twice a day. My dog gobbles it down. We go through the 14 lb bag once a month and a 6 pack of the wet dog food in 18 days. But as far as the amount of food, your 20 lbs of kibble is about the same as our 14 lbs and the cans of wet food.

Hi Larry, great comment. Thank you for the links for our pets. I believe white flour might come canned in 10 cans, might be worth checking that out. That would be the most likely way, to get close to 25 years in storage out of it. BTW, if you have a cat, kitty litter is a vital item to store a bulk amount.

It has some other uses too. In this Computer Age, Pharmacists cannot fill prescriptions without their computers. Humans or Pets. I like your idea of kitty litter as well. I stock it and I do not have a cat. It can be used in so many ways.

You are so right about getting prescriptions, so many can be filled for 90 days. Great reminder! Thanks for the list Linda especially the ones that we can use without electricity. If the power grid goes out we will still be able to cook without it.

I will put my cookstove up and will be ready for anything with these suggestions. Hopefully, everyone will be prepared for power outages.

I love your list, I think I would add brown sugar and chocolate chips 🙂. JayJay, the jelly, we all lose a little here and there. I put my peanut butter in the fridge when the date gets close, it lasts a lot longer that way.

Thanks Barbara. I keep boxed milk on hand for emergencies. You can get it at the dollar store. Freshly ground pepper is better in flavor and aroma which is important for a staple ingredient in so many recipes. Tomato paste is super concentrated and inexpensive. During my SNAP challenge week , the first thing on my list was a small can of tomato paste.

It can be made into pasta sauce or substitute anything that calls for tomatoes. Popular in Mexican dishes, cumin pairs with well with chicken and ground meat for a quick and easy meal.

Any soup, stew, casserole recipes that call for a splash of stock can be easily substituted using bouillon cubes which are small and do not need to be refrigerated.

Curry powder is a popular, all-purpose Indian staple. It can be used to make soups, stews or to enhance meat, and vegetables. I love Kraft. A delicious BBQ sauce can rescue many protein-laden dishes that call for tang and flavor.

Canned tuna is versatile and can be eaten straight from the can or made into tuna salad instantly. Best bang for your buck is a carton of jumbo eggs. Eggs may expire but it will take up to 30 days in the fridge which makes them great protein staples.

Freshly ground meat is also the easiest to cook and can be frozen for later. Make chili, tacos, rice bowls, hamburger patties, meatballs etc. I love the thought of fresh but not everyone can make consistent grocery runs. Frozen corn and broccoli make quick and healthy sides.

The shelf life of whole garlic bulbs lasts up to 6 months! Unpeeled cloves will last up to 10 days. Garlic is expensive and adds a lot of flavors, a lot of recipes calls for garlic. Garlic powder can be purchased as a lazy substitute. Onion has a month shelf life if left in a cool, dark and dry place.

They also pack a lot of flavor to each dish. It is the queen bee in our kitchen, along with garlic cloves. We have 2 spice carousels, one was a gift and the other one we bought second hand from a garage sale. The best place to buy spices is Dollar Tree. Rosler makes hauling back groceries less back-breaking.

We eat LOTS of pork in various forms in our family. When I was little, my parents used to make pork bone soup with potatoes and carrots a lot.

Great list! Canned beans are fine, but dry is definitely better and healthier. For example, green beans can be eaten alone, but also used in soups and casseroles. Remember, along with sweet treats like cookies, cupcakes, and cakes, baked goods are also bread, cornbread, tortillas, biscuits and so many more items that you can save money by making from scratch.

Oats are another great pantry item because you can use them for breakfast or dinner and they have several purposes — eating alone, binding agents for dishes think: meatloaf , baking and more! Can I be honest?

Good luck and God bless! I find that getting into a routine with cooking from scratch makes it less time consuming. Planning ahead also helps. I use to do all this bulk buying but as it's only me and now instead of a huge farm house i live in a tiny condo no point but I've always cooked fresh and have a tiny pots garden lots of pots full of fresh food and I never buy instant foods I make my own bread everything is home and hand made cheese also.

I buy short dated meat and cook it immediately or the next day or freeze it. Especially in hot weather, it is nice not to have to run the oven! Sometimes I love convenience foods and splurge when I want to, and economize somewhere else.

Couponing is harder now that kids are gone caz we choose to eat less processed foods but it does help, too.
