Small or thin pastas require considerably less time to cook. For instance: Orzo, angel hair, very small macaroni. Angle hair cooks in 4 minutes vs. spaghetti which takes 9 minutes. That could stretch out fuel quite a bit.

I got snowed in at 8,000 feet in the family cabin in 2015. Was stuck for a week and a half and exhausted my food in two and a half days. I had no idea how long the storm would last or how bad it would be. I ended up eating 25 - 30 year old food including a can of Van Camps beans from 1991. That food kept me going. One thing about the old noodles, mine were stored in sealed glass jars as well, and they tasted like cardboard, still edible but a bit like getting nutrition from eating your shoe. Flavored oatmeal packets were the clear winner - maple and brown sugar stored in waxed paper. Most everything I ate was expired two decades before but I didn't get sick, just a little anecdote for a case-study.

@@skr8674 That's a sad story, but I'll tell it. My parents got divorced when I was 6. I re-united with Dad and his side of the family when I turned 18, and the cabin had been neglected since I was young. Dad used to take us up there in the snow for vacations when we were kids but lost custody. In my twenties I was hired by my Grandparents to renovate the place and that's when the storm came.

I would store fettuccini before macaroni. Macaroni holds too much air taking up more space because of it's shape. Fettuccini's shape would also allow you to use Mylar bags, which are much cheaper than jars, and hold a lot more food. Take the savings and buy more food. Reserve your jars for canning high dollar stuff like meat.

@BluegrassBarn Жыл бұрын

If someone has space but not much money, elbow mac is better. If someone has less space and more money, the smaller but pricier pasta is a good option. Use fuel to cook each the same amount of time, then let the macaroni soak in the boiled water longer until soft to make cooking costs comparable.

@shannonwolff2599 5 ай бұрын

It really is a lot easier than you think and a lot cheaper to start prepping. I am on a fixed income due to disability and I was very worried about how much it would cost. I always did shop the sales and I simply increased that to start prepping. It did cost a small amount more at the start, BUT once you get going it actually SAVES money, and I'll explain how. First of all if money is a concern then shop the sales!!! Every week I go thru the grocery flyers online, and I make a list of items I am interested in from each store. Usually it's 6-8 items from each one. Then I figure out how many of them I need for my regular groceries, and add a couple to that. Now grocery sales tend to rotate aprox every 3 months with super sales every 6. For example spaghetti sauce. When on sale I buy what I need for my family for 3 months and add a couple for my stores. If it is a super sale I may buy enough for 6 months and add as many extra as I can. Once you have been doing this for a while you will discover your grocery bill actually goes DOWN because you are buying everything at the SALE price. Using the same example, the type of spaghetti sauce we like is usually $2.99 (Canadian dollars here). One of the bargain grocery stores had them on sale for $1.25. I bought 16 jars. 12 were for our regular use, and 4 were planned for prepping. I kept a couple in my normal pantry and the rest into the overflow. Now the next time I see them on sale I will do the same thing. That way it never costs me $2.99!! If you don't usually shop the sales very much this can save you money AND allow you to stock up using less money than you did for weekly shopping before!! As for the tools you need or are helpful, check out the thrift and second hand stores in your area. I have a lot of mason jars I have bought at a Salvation army thrift store for $0.10ea, and I got my vacuum sealer at one as well for $5 I believe. Thrift stores are a great place to get a lot of prepping items at a low cost!!

Great tip sister, another good tip is buying the supermarkets own dirt cheap products instead of any famous brands, like in Aldi or Lidl their own pasta sauce costs only 89 CENTS while same size jar from D0lmio exact same ingredients costs 2,99 euro. So along with chasing the sales try hunt the store brands for stuff u can't find at farmers markets. Large jar of olives in brine store brand 80 cents while a tiny jar of olives with a famous brand name 4,99 same with everything else. Also stock up rice, noodles and potatoes in bulky bags from Asian stores etc. Fruit buy frozen bags outside their season (if the can be frozen, pricey fruit like raspberries or blueberries especially. Bon appetite and happy prepping

I do this with my leftover 2 liter soda bottles. I fill them with beans, rice or pasta. An oxygen absorber in first them fill with dry food of my choice and add another oxygen absorber toward the top. Fill as full as possible then add the cap.

I agree, I have been storing pasta for over 20 years in large 1 gallon containers that I pick up from restaurants, containers that they had got their bulk basil, garlic powders, etc in.... I love rice too, but pasta just hits the hole in your stomach😊

Thanks for sharing this tip. I'm recently widowed and was prepping for 4. Now that it's just me I've got a lot to get into long term storage I've been vac sealing mine because I already have the equiptment and 02 absorbers for other things. But in a grid down situation it can still be done.

Honestly I’m glad you’re getting back to basics because not everyone has “pay day prep money”. Everyone who started out with these prepper videos is now only doing it to get the money not to help the people.

I always vacuum seal with an o2 absorber with them. Great idea. Thank you

Hey Rudy...something you might want to try. I have a Foodsaver with jar attachments to vacuum seal in jars. But because I like to be able to seal jars of dried goods without electricity, a Brake Bleeder (like you use on car brakes) and the jar attachment works better to vacuum seal than the electric foodsaver - It works great

Save your pasta sauce glass jars. Don't ever get rid of a glass jar. (Regular mouth Mason jar lids will fit some of these.) Put an Oxygen absorber in it and even the original lid that comes with the jar will reseal.

I use a lot of medicinal teas. I have saved all of my Classico pasta jars and they are full of tea bags . Probably 25 different types. These jars also have the measurements on the side if you need.

Also, I buy powdered and dried herbs by the pound and these are stored in quart (Ball) jars.
