Yankee Prepper - It will be interesting to see in a couple of years what the prices will be as compared to those you have videotaped. This will be excellent evidence of true inflation - especially considering how the "inflation rate" is fudged by authorities! In my heart of hearts - I am extremely worried that a day's wages will be worth a loaf of bread.
@washuism Ever heard of flouride? Its a heavy metal and its not good for ya. Cities around the US are actually starting to take it out of the water supplies.
@1TacticalMedic Do you have any information to support this claim? I only ask because I understand that Fluoride (an ion of Fluorine) is a halide pretty high up on the periodic table (between O and Ne). It is classified as a nonmetal and has many different ions, some very toxic, and some not.
I am an avid shopper of both. I spend a minimum of $150 per month every month though towards goods. I do not blame you, there is a relief knowing that this corporation is accountable for the products they sell so you won't get short changed
Great vid and excellent choices. Given a choice, I prefer Coscto because they carry a wider selection of healthy / healthier options. You can't find fish at Sam's that isn't from China (canned or frozen) and Costco carries a few of each. If you have a small business license, the Costco AMEX is great.. Cash back % on every purchase at year's end and discounts at partner retailers. $25 off on a laptop at office max at register for example. We pay it off every month and never pay interest
Wow. Looking @ prices a yr ago.... I could only DREAM of paying those prices again for STAPLES of "daily" living. Thank GOD for the banksters and eugenisists and their efforts to Cull the herd (SIC) Wished i was a yr sooner on prepping ..BUT i have my "secret veggie garden" cammoed up and hidden better than a so cal weed farmers stash. Pickles ant fried green tomatos and salsa for everyone!
Thats pretty sweet, I love costco. Like going on days just before the soccer moms get there because then they have all of the free samples out, but none of the waiting. Although with the sheer size of costco's you can only ever tell they are bust from the parking lot.
corn syrup and cane sugar are all in the same sugar is sugar please support American made products the more we buy foreign made stuff the more our economy goes down the drain the nutritional value is the same support our country and not the people against us.
@eosphorus904 corn syrup:( we are americans in america and we dont want stinking gmo corn any-fricken-thing.... corn syrup. They are killing us or trying to kill us with it.
items such as sugar, coffee, flour, pasta n such..will these items keep for years if in a mylar bag in a 5gallon bucket? Can you reccomend any books that list items to prep and how long they can be stored for? thanks for the vids, very helpful and informative!!
The booze? How about the meat, chicken, oil and all the rest of it? Its all about half what we pay in Australia! And the current exchage rate has the Aussie dollar worth more than the US dollar! Coles and woolies have got us by the short and curlies!
@kaveman35 I haven't found so. That is why these stores are so popular and successful. In fact that is why they clobber the competition. But hey, this only the way I shop, you are free to do as you please.
As a replacement for toothpaste, use baking soda. No more dentists...no more teeth decay...and plus doing some body alkalizing. Do some research on baking soda, teeth and health in general. I'm stocking 100 pounds of it for starters...
@18wheeler76 I have a family of three plus my wife and kids and have been practicing food rotation for over 5 years now and you can save a ton of money buying in bulk. Period, end of story, nothing goes to waste.
Sir. I have (very) recently discovered the impending economic collapse and am on a mad dash to buy everything from semi trailers to bury, tons of food, solar system, meds (patriot nurse has that covered!), etc. My list is long. You have taught me a lot in the few days since I discovered your videos. I just hope I have time to get this done. I am on 3 acres outside the city limits. I have neighbors. It isn't remote by any means but I am planning on goats for milk, chickens and bees..etc
some things alot of people might not think of for general health....facemast, might b alot of germs, hand sanitizer, bath and body wash.....tooth cleaning kit....razor.....so r u at a sma club?
Nice picks and helpful. I was kind of thinking about what a prepper tends to buy the most on their average trip to the store the other night--what timing!
Rule one from an outfitter, never depend on power to keep stuff cold. Dry meats and dry grains rice and instant just add water fancy stuff. Powdered milk etc. dry your own foods at 120-150f for beef.
@oregonnich Agreed. I have some ethnic asian and mexican stores I do go to. That would probably be a good video to. The asian stores are great sources for peas and beans.
@laddjm Ah, I've tried to avoid drinking soda mainly because it's so bad for you. That high fructose corn syrup is really, really bad. However, a friend of mine suggested to buy club soda and then to make your own simple syrup (sugar, drained fruit juice, and water boiled up). Supposedly it's a much healthier alternative to enjoy a sweetened carbonated beverage without the dangerous effects of high fructose corn syrup. Then again, I could always try to buy mexican coca cola lol.
@laddjm It's because the U.S. government taxes (steals) our money to subsidize corn farmers; causing them to grow more corn than there is demand to consume it. This makes corn products like corn syrup cheaper since they have to do something with all of that extra corn. Maybe if the government didn't take our money to begin with, everyone would have more money to spend on unsubsidized products.
Great video. I feel like I just went shopping in half the time. I especially like the Vodka, and JD bit. I'm gonna need a drink if.... scratch that... WHEN the SH hits TF :-)
@19ADC67 high fructose corn syrup is a VERY VERY VERY cheap sweatner that was introduced to the American food market decades ago. much cheaper than sugar. Problem is though....the body has a really hard time breaking it down. The explosion in obesity and diabetes can be tracked to the same time line as the intro of cron syrup into our food system. The side effects are to numerous to list, but you need to do research on this one. And avoid it.
I heard Later Day Saints(LDS) sells bulk foods for preppers and you don't have to be a member but donations are appreciated. They just have some staples,not sure exactly what but limited stuff like beans,rice,flour,dried apples,etc.
From what I understand $200 gets you 321 lbs of food.
I am going to check it out soon.
Google them to see if one is by you for those interested.
Let me know if they sell Denison's Chili there. It is by far the best canned stuff in IMHO. I usually avoid Cosco here in SoCal. The last time I used it was back in 2004 and I stopped because it was always so packed with people it was an awful experience. I may try again, with the economy down, it may be a little more "slow" to enable a reasonable peaceful trip. Not like the Oprah show giving away cars.....
I just found out that in Canada we can't do the group thing, apparently only the cardholder can use the Costco card, plus the system wont let you pay with debit or credit card unless you are the card holder.
@rooftopeagle I have a business card (it does not have anyone's name in it) and I have sent other people to the club to purchase items for me and they have never been asked for an ID. But at the very least, if you bought the cheapest membership possible and then had a main card holder take email orders from lets say 10 families and pick up the order. You could also buy a business membership and use click and pickup order to have big orders prepared for you!
@Yankeeprepper Very true, we could all go and shop and have the person who's name is on the card pay for it and get reimbursed. Good thinking man, I've also heard cash can bypass this little problem of cards not working without being a member. Depending how many families get in on this maybe a business membership will work, I do have a business...
4,88 four the water is real cheap. we pay over hire rufly calculating euro/dollar price a bout 18 to 22 dollar four that. you got to love america four that. easy to get big paks of food four real cheap! the chicken we pay a round 2.37 dollar per LB. and the best thing of america. you can bay ammo in a suppermarket. if thay find amo in your perzetion. even if its just 1 bullet. you can go to jail four 8 years
I buy some of those same items at the Sams in my area. I've made soup, re-fried beans as well as beans and rice from those pinto beans. I've vacuum packed 5 or 6 of those big bags of sugar into 5 gallon buckets & threw them in the storage locker, I make lemonade out of that lemon juice. Can't beat the price on those sams club batteries. I don't buy milk or eggs there though. I get those at an organic grocery co-op that I'm a member of. Can't beat the sams price on Toilette paper or paper towels.
Interesting. I pay more than $1 for that same milk package at my Sam's. Neither of my Sam's carries that big bottle of water,
Tonight, I made homemade chicken sausage with chicken thighs I bought from Sam's. :) That Riceland Rice isn't too bad and I'm saying that as an Asian but I use it mainly for non-Asian dishes. lol Nor do they carry liquor here, wine and beer but no liquor...I think I'm getting a bad deal! :p Well, gas is cheaper here... lol
@Yankeeprepper There's wide price range in different stores in even as few as 30 miles. I run through stores when travel takes me. If there is nothing to buy in and out in 5-10 minutes. I've gotten to know best prices in locations & I snipe loss leaders. Things I use at big discount, I'll fill my trunk with it if I can use it. I only buy veggies & fruit day to day & save big while stocking up. I have a massive chest freezer that holds more than 3 standing units. This I call ... hunting! lol
I think if you buy the cheap vodka and run it through a carbon filter a few times you will have something higher quality like absolute... I'm just saying lol.
Great info. We shop at Sams for all of the same things EXCEPT the toothpaste. Sams does not yet carry Toms of Maine toothpaste without the flouride. We started using this about a year ago and have noticed a distinct difference in how our teeth feel and how we feel now that we are not using the flouride. Of course, you could forgo the toothpaste altogether in a SHTF situation and just swig the Jack right? Thanks! Noreen
@atticus9799 Hi! Norren. Our Sam's does carry the Tom's toothpaste do I would guess it's coming down the pipe to you as well, the stores are pretty uniform.
I am very impressed with the size of that bottle of Jack, let me tell you.
great vid! Killer prices on some good things in the vid as well. I know this adds a little cost but my food storage is down stairs and my kitchen is small- I take the bigger bags- like sugar ,rice, etc. and I use my foodsaver to package up smaller bags- rice I'll put in the foodsaver bag what I use for a big pot- etc. I don't use the milar bags I see some use. I am soooo jealous- we don't have a Sam's Club here but we do have a Costco. You're eating good!
everything you just bought is bad for you and your family......box them all up now and ship to me in nc and i will despose of it properly....especially the jack daniels and cola......you can keep the gasoline, it taste like crap with cola......lol......
Yankee, loved the vid, once my new van is insured I'll hop over to the Costco!!! One quick bit of advice is to slow down the pans of the price tags, some the camera couldn't even catch a clear shot of the item so we missed it.
I always start off with "this is what I do", but it doesn't work. I was thinking about changing my channel name to "this is what I do", what do you think?
I took the time to make this to help others compare prices. As we dip further into this economy. People will have to look at this closer. Teaming up to buy a card together, might be a great option as well.
@Yankeeprepper Teaming up to buy a Sam's club card? Hmmm now that is a good idea. Especially with members of your group or family. That is the reason that me and my wife stopped our membership. We did not use it enough to take enough advantage of the bulk purchases.
You could also share other membership costs. Cool!
I agree completely with the vid and comments! The hippy food nazis don't understand that starvation will kill you a lot quicker than the miniscule amounts of chemicals in that food. "Organic" is a BS government label. I don't have a problem with corporations on any general principles either, especially after reading "Atlas Shrugged."
Oooooh, $34.67 for that big ole bottle of Jack Daniels? I gotta find one of these stores.
If I didn't use some pesticides in my garden, I would never get the yields I need. If the SHTF and it's still hitting a year later. You will be able to trade a can of spam for a bar of gold. But maybe that is what is going to need to happen to wake up the food nazis. Going without food for a while might warm them up to a good bowl of Rammen noodles.
What do you think will happen to the worlds population when the bees are all gone? Which is happening at an alarming rate due to the pesticides? And, you don't have to yell. I like most of your vids. They are very informative. Just trying to help the masses, as are you.
Well, I'm not a hippie and I'm not a nazi. I'm 50 years old, so I'm not an ignorant child either. Poison by any other name is still poison. Now, I saw the video of your garden and that is quality food. It looks like you also fish and that is quality food as well. I only commented because you stated that the food at Sam's and Costco is "quality food", which it is not. No offense meant, just wanted to let others know who may not know that the majority of the food you showed is crap.
Hey YP, I know your a business owner as well so this applies to you: with a sams business card you can use there click & pull service online, which is basically you logging on there website shopping for everything you need and them having it all waiting for you up at customer service the next day!! Saves a TON of time!!! Also as a business customer you have access to extended Sams Club hours. Regular customers can start shopping at 10am while business customers can come in at 7am!!
on any of the food you did not look at the ingregients. a lot of stuff has high fructose corn syrup which has mercury in it. also some salts they use are extremely dangerous. you seem like such an on top of things guy. all the food you bought is really bad for your kids.
@cucumber202 Well I was going to do 55 hours of video of me reading the ingrediants but I decided to keep it under 10 min.
There is NO HIGH fructose corn syrup in any of the foods I purchased. I really hesitated to do this video because I knew I was going to get the hippie food nazi's. That is why I said "this is what I do".
I noticed the tortillas you purchased... at costco they sell un cooked tortillas in the refrigerated section. Name brand "Tortilla Land". They last 3-4x times longer in fridge than the pre cooked ones, and taste so much better. Our family loves them for enchiladas, burritos and especially for cinimon sugar and butter deserts in them.
Parboiled rice, spam?!? Bleached sugar and flour?!? Imitation vanilla, what the heck is that? Bullion (msg)?!? Gosh, I sure hope you didn't actually buy that stuff! Great deal on the tp though!
sorry, but the meats are filled with pesticides and antibiotics and are not good for your kids. The vegies aren't organic, again filled with poisons (pesticides are meant to kill living creatures) and not good for your kids. Have you done any research on large scale chicken farming? I know you mean well, but most of the foods you show are not really that good for you and especially not good for growing children.
You can find great deals at these places. But be wary and be smart! Not all items in these stores are truly better because they are bigger! God bless you yankee prepper. We love the vids!
I would rate it 5 stars but the new you tube set up only allows me to thumbs up ya.
That is one quite sam's club. I get beat up everytime I go. It is literally shoulder to shoulder shopping here. And that is only if you can find a parking spot to park and go in.
Yankee Prepper - It will be interesting to see in a couple of years what the prices will be as compared to those you have videotaped.

You could also buy a business membership and use click and pickup order to have big orders prepared for you!
Yankeeprepper 1 year ago
@Yankeeprepper Very true, we could all go and shop and have the person who's name is on the card pay for it and get reimbursed. Good thinking man, I've also heard cash can bypass this little problem of cards not working without being a member. Depending how many families get in on this maybe a business membership will work, I do have a business...

I buy some of those same items at the Sams in my area. I've made soup, re-fried beans as well as beans and rice from those pinto beans. I've vacuum packed 5 or 6 of those big bags of sugar into 5 gallon buckets & threw them in the storage locker, I make lemonade out of that lemon juice. Can't beat the price on those sams club batteries. I don't buy milk or eggs there though. I get those at an organic grocery co-op that I'm a member of. Can't beat the sams price on Toilette paper or paper towels.

Interesting. I pay more than $1 for that same milk package at my Sam's. Neither of my Sam's carries that big bottle of water,
Tonight, I made homemade chicken sausage with chicken thighs I bought from Sam's. :) That Riceland Rice isn't too bad and I'm saying that as an Asian but I use it mainly for non-Asian dishes. lol Nor do they carry liquor here, wine and beer but no liquor...I think I'm getting a bad deal! :p Well, gas is cheaper here... lol

@VivianRinSC That is interesting info. How could you be paying more for the same product at the same store chain? transport?
I pack riceland rice away in 5 gallon bucket for preps as well
Yankeeprepper 1 year ago
@Yankeeprepper There's wide price range in different stores in even as few as 30 miles. I run through stores when travel takes me. If there is nothing to buy in and out in 5-10 minutes. I've gotten to know best prices in locations & I snipe loss leaders. Things I use at big discount, I'll fill my trunk with it if I can use it. I only buy veggies & fruit day to day & save big while stocking up. I have a massive chest freezer that holds more than 3 standing units. This I call ... hunting! lol

Great info. We shop at Sams for all of the same things EXCEPT the toothpaste. Sams does not yet carry Toms of Maine toothpaste without the flouride. We started using this about a year ago and have noticed a distinct difference in how our teeth feel and how we feel now that we are not using the flouride. Of course, you could forgo the toothpaste altogether in a SHTF situation and just swig the Jack right? Thanks! Noreen

@atticus9799 Hi! Norren. Our Sam's does carry the Tom's toothpaste do I would guess it's coming down the pipe to you as well, the stores are pretty uniform.
I am very impressed with the size of that bottle of Jack, let me tell you.
Yankeeprepper 1 year ago
great vid! Killer prices on some good things in the vid as well. I know this adds a little cost but my food storage is down stairs and my kitchen is small- I take the bigger bags- like sugar ,rice, etc. and I use my foodsaver to package up smaller bags- rice I'll put in the foodsaver bag what I use for a big pot- etc. I don't use the milar bags I see some use. I am soooo jealous- we don't have a Sam's Club here but we do have a Costco. You're eating good!

Yankee, loved the vid, once my new van is insured I'll hop over to the Costco!!! One quick bit of advice is to slow down the pans of the price tags, some the camera couldn't even catch a clear shot of the item so we missed it.
thanks! You're an inspiration!

I always start off with "this is what I do", but it doesn't work. I was thinking about changing my channel name to "this is what I do", what do you think?
I took the time to make this to help others compare prices. As we dip further into this economy. People will have to look at this closer. Teaming up to buy a card together, might be a great option as well.
Yankeeprepper 1 year ago
@Yankeeprepper Teaming up to buy a Sam's club card? Hmmm now that is a good idea. Especially with members of your group or family. That is the reason that me and my wife stopped our membership. We did not use it enough to take enough advantage of the bulk purchases.
You could also share other membership costs. Cool!
TheGrayman1234 1 year ago
I agree completely with the vid and comments! The hippy food nazis don't understand that starvation will kill you a lot quicker than the miniscule amounts of chemicals in that food. "Organic" is a BS government label. I don't have a problem with corporations on any general principles either, especially after reading "Atlas Shrugged."
Oooooh, $34.67 for that big ole bottle of Jack Daniels? I gotta find one of these stores.

If I didn't use some pesticides in my garden, I would never get the yields I need. If the SHTF and it's still hitting a year later. You will be able to trade a can of spam for a bar of gold. But maybe that is what is going to need to happen to wake up the food nazis. Going without food for a while might warm them up to a good bowl of Rammen noodles.
Yankeeprepper 1 year ago
What do you think will happen to the worlds population when the bees are all gone? Which is happening at an alarming rate due to the pesticides? And, you don't have to yell. I like most of your vids. They are very informative. Just trying to help the masses, as are you.

Well, I'm not a hippie and I'm not a nazi. I'm 50 years old, so I'm not an ignorant child either. Poison by any other name is still poison. Now, I saw the video of your garden and that is quality food. It looks like you also fish and that is quality food as well. I only commented because you stated that the food at Sam's and Costco is "quality food", which it is not. No offense meant, just wanted to let others know who may not know that the majority of the food you showed is crap.
moonshadow93924 1 year ago
@moonshadow93924
In my opinion it's very high quality food. I have eaten alot of food, and I think I know the difference.
I think for 50 years old, you don't know as much as you think. But hey that is just my opinion.
Yankeeprepper 1 year ago
Hey YP, I know your a business owner as well so this applies to you: with a sams business card you can use there click & pull service online, which is basically you logging on there website shopping for everything you need and them having it all waiting for you up at customer service the next day!! Saves a TON of time!!! Also as a business customer you have access to extended Sams Club hours. Regular customers can start shopping at 10am while business customers can come in at 7am!!
mindyabiznez 1 year ago
on any of the food you did not look at the ingregients. a lot of stuff has high fructose corn syrup which has mercury in it. also some salts they use are extremely dangerous. you seem like such an on top of things guy. all the food you bought is really bad for your kids.
cucumber202 1 year ago
@cucumber202 Well I was going to do 55 hours of video of me reading the ingrediants but I decided to keep it under 10 min.
There is NO HIGH fructose corn syrup in any of the foods I purchased. I really hesitated to do this video because I knew I was going to get the hippie food nazi's. That is why I said "this is what I do".

I noticed the tortillas you purchased... at costco they sell un cooked tortillas in the refrigerated section. Name brand "Tortilla Land". They last 3-4x times longer in fridge than the pre cooked ones, and taste so much better. Our family loves them for enchiladas, burritos and especially for cinimon sugar and butter deserts in them.

sorry, but the meats are filled with pesticides and antibiotics and are not good for your kids. The vegies aren't organic, again filled with poisons (pesticides are meant to kill living creatures) and not good for your kids. Have you done any research on large scale chicken farming? I know you mean well, but most of the foods you show are not really that good for you and especially not good for growing children.
