When I was a kid my grandmother had a HUGE pile of canned goods that had expiration dates on it that had expired 8 years before. I would always get into it and chow down. Not once did I ever get sick from it.
If you really want to stick it to "the man" don't eat the corporate crap "the man" is selling!
It's the end of the world and I am living on Shasta Cola, Top Ramen and Tostitos dip! Who needs the world to end to kill ya when your eating that stuff?
Then my other daugher's husband lost his job and they all moved in with me for 3 months there were five of them plus the two of us. I thought OMG how will I feed all of us since I live on a fixed income. Thank God I had stockpiled food! Now I wonder how silly they think I am?
I started my stockpile about 6 months ago I had about 3 to 4 months of food stockpiled and also was dehydrating food. My grown kids teased me and made fun of the doomsday stuff. I started second guessing myself and thought I must look pretty stupid so I stopped doing it although I lstill had my 3 to 4 months supply. Then all of a sudden I realized my daughter that lives next door kept coming over to borrow food and also my dehydrated onions etc
Thanks! I do not keep track of canned exp dt; i rotate through them quite often and move old cans forward, I have a few candles and oil lamps. Maybe i should learn how to make candles :) I am trying to find DE locally, folks look at me cross eyed when i ask abt it...
@ArkansasWindy20 Candles: the drugstores, like Walgreens, have holiday candles for 1/2 off and 75 % off after each holiday. I scoop up on those after each holiday. My feed store here in Arizona sells food grade D.E. by the 50 lb bag full. I bought one bag several months ago, and am still using it. I doubt they ship, but you don't need very much.
@ArkansasWindy20 hey dont worry about how people look at u...remmeber noah and the ARK? YOU ARE THE aRK FOR YOUR FAMILY....IF NOTHIN HAPPENS, NOTHIN WASTED, IF IT DOES....YOU JUST GAVE UR FAMILY A CHANCE TO SURVIVE
my question is I read on one website that canned food can last for 10 years past experiation if it is below 70 degrees stored...and doesn'thave any bulging. what have you guys found?
I have been curious about this as well so i did a little experiment a while back..I had a can of chef boyardee ravioli that went out of date so i held on to it for about 2 months after that date before i ate it...it was edible...but...it didn't taste very good...the sauce had gotten extremely thick kinda like tomato paste..i think the pasta absorbed the moisture from the sauce...this can had been kept in a cool, dark cabinet...I think 10 years is probably not likely....just my opinion
Also, I highly recommend getting a Vacuum sealer. I have so far, 3 large plastic tubs filled with rice and beans that I bought in the 25 lb bulk size. I vacuum sealed them into 2 lb packs. As soon as I can make more room I will be filling more tubs.
Yes, don't forget ammo. You have a good start on your food stoage. I have already filled up the pantry in the kitchen and have had to find room elsewhere in my home. Since I can't store in my garage due to the extreme heat here in the desert I have to store indoors. I have chosen to throw out as much crap that is just sitting in all the closets in my home to make room for food etc. You will find food stored in bedroom closets under the beds under desks anywhere I can fiind a whole to fill.
I think you have a good start..I am doing this too although i dont have much storage room...I also like the idea that you are paying today's prices on something that will cost more a few years from now
I'd also start preparing for trading (barter), so you wanna buy 1000 of those match boxes, as well as alcohol, cigarettes... and other things people will always be hooked on.
cigarettes go stale rather quickly, get tobacco seeds and store em. Along with pot seeds. because hemp is easy to grow and its a fiber(rope, clothing etc.) Plus its a natural remedy.
Medicine also, especially if your life depends on it.
I have watched YT vids on vacuum packing, right now, for what i have, i think it is rotated enough that I haven't had bugs etc... About the soda...LOL, my food storage is not just 'end times' storage. If we have an ice storm, or are 'snowed in' I want to be prepared. Also, i do not buy groceries for next wks meal plan, i buy to replace what we ate last week. That way i always have the stuff i need for all the meals in our regular rotation.
I agree... you know I thought how folks used to have more food stuff on hand as the market wasn't close or they could only go when they had cash from selling crops. Good luck on your food storage!

nice start, but you need more. And half these food's look open. How can they be food for storage when they are open?

Do you keep track of expiration dates? Food grade D.E. will help keep the bugs down in the bulk grain and beans.
How about adding some candles to those matches?
Nice pantry. Keep up the great prepping!!!
