I appreciate your calm and thoughtful tone. No need to panic but be prepared. I live in California where earthquakes are common so I have emergency freeze dried long term food (for 2 weeks) and plenty of water on hand in addition to a working pantry.

The velveeta Mac and cheese comes with the liquid cheese. You don't need milk or butter! Its actually a good item to have.

Hello, I'm a new subscriber here. I love your positive attitude. I have stopped watching a lot of my regular channels they are over the top on doom and gloom. This kind of negativity doesn't help me at all. I need helpful information and your channel is spot on so thank you 😊

Our local Walmart has been out of Ramen for nearly a Month. The No Sugar Added Cans of Fruit are hit and miss. Green Beans in cans has been hard t come by. Rice is available but in short supply. The Toilet paper has been in the store, but it's new Brands I have never seen before. I've stocked my family for 18 Months out, just in case.

We love Coconut-Peanut Butter-Vegetable curry with cooked chickpeas, over Basmati rice. I've been buying the organic coconut milk for $1 a can from Dollar Tree whenever it is available. I start with chopped onion, carrot, and garlic sauteed in coconut oil, one can of coconut milk, Thai inspired spices, a half cup of peanut butter, cauliflower, green beans, and chickpeas. Simmered for about an hour then served over rice with a squeeze of lemon, green onion tops, and sometimes a dollop of plain greek yogurt.

New subscriber here. I have been stocking up as much as my budget allows. I love these videos because they help me when it's time to go to the store and different storage options being that I live in an apartment. Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed day!

Wow! What a fabulous job you’re doing in planning your pantry. It gives others a few good ideas to work with and think about.

You have a soothing voice. I could listen all day!

I made your leftover oatmeal muffins today & they came out fantastic! Thank you!

what a lovely pantry ! we often don't have a pantry in the uk . iv been stocking up for about a year. iv filled all my kitchen and dinning room units I'm on to my sitting room sideboard just a few bits every week . it makes me feel so much better knowing its there

I work at Walmart stocking overnights. We have everything you need just lack of workers. Just know if you see gaps it’s because someone called in or got pulled to another department. ❤️

Go to Aldi for spices. They are great quality made by a major spice company in their own private labels. Excellent price. Dollar Tree also has spices.

Your pantry looks amazing. I’m in the process of bottling my dry goods. Oatmeal in the box has an expiration. If you repackage it..it lets for decades! The same way with other boxed goods, pasta, etc..

This is the most aesthetically pleasing stocked pantry I have ever seen. The Jiffy cornbread caught my attention immediately as I had notice it had gone up five cents overnight at my store. For such an affordable product that is a big jump.

Alaska Granny just posted about how the canned pineapple leaked onto the items on the same shelf and the items below. She had to throw away alot of products. Be sure to use pineapple within a year or so and don't let heat get to pineapple. A family member also had a large can of pineapple that went bad and ruined the carpet.

I just found this prepping channel very useful and you showed me how organize my food . Thank you and God bless.

You are my kind of girl! I'm a very positive person too. I have been stocking up more than I used to, although I have always stocked up. I went to Aldi today and bought some things for my pantry.

Safeway, costco and winco are well stocked this week in Seattle area.

Very nice stocked pantry! 😊👌 I've gotten a lot of canned goods at Aldi since my Walmart has raised their prices again. You have such a lovely soothing voice to listen to. 💗

I appreciate that you aren't fear mongering. You present a calm demeanor.

Make sure to watch the experation dates. I usually try to get them for at least 2 years or more out.

wow. wish I had that much room. our preps are in 3 locations but it works. I need to organize better. prep on.

Love the organization in your pantry!

I really like using cranberry sauce like regular jelly. We are only two people, so it was going to waste after using only part of a can for dinner a few times. Now I use it for breakfast toast and PB& J! It is actually my favorite jelly now!!!!

I love optimism and glass half full! That's totally how I think. New subscriber!

I can't find wide mouth canning lids anywhere, they are never in stock. I have SO many jars already that I don't want to buy more jars just for the lids. Your pantry is a dream, so organized. Because of your videos I found several things that I need to get in my storage including salsa , crackers and salad dressing

Love your pantry! Nice and spacious!

If you have a Dollar Tree in your area they carry alot if spices I've noticed Dollar Trees shelves are usually stocked cause people flock to the big box stores first

San Francisco herb co is my go to for bulk spices. Good prices and great quality.

Most of the stores in my area in NC are pretty well stocked so far but I have stocked up on a number of items. I do know a lot of the stores are struggling with not having enough employees. I picked up pizza the other night and there was a flyer attached to the box offering $100 if you referred someone, they were hired, and worked for 30 days. For some reason the candy/gum aisle in Walmart is always wiped out🤷‍♀️

As far as hard to find spices you can try “My Spice Sage” they have just about anything you could ever want. You can buy it in sizes from 1 ounce to several pounds. I’ve ordered many times from these folks. Always free shipping. Really enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing!

I bought large two gallon food storage bags to put some of my dry foods in like pancake mix,etc. I also like to keep tomato paste on hand, very versatile, thin it for sauce or juice, etc, and takes up little space

When I try and store my appliances on a higher shelf my arms are not strong enough. I don’t have children and I won’t want to wait on help 😊. I’m glad you have thought through your alternatives.

Appreciate the optimism

Love your channel. Thanks for sharing.

If you have all purpose flour and gluten on hand you have bread flour. Simply mix in one and a half teaspoons of gluten for every cup of regular flour. 👍🏼😊

Another youtuber had problems with canned pineapple. I love how organized you are. I keep dried fruit and lots of spices. Our main snack is homemade popcorn. Tina

HAVE A BLESSED DAY FROM POCAHONTAS ILLINOIS. GOD IS GREAT.

What a very nicely stocked pantry.

I see you're fairly new to making videos. Awesome channel!

Way to take care of your family!

Will you do a video on making your egg noodles? I would love to learn that.

Eternal optimist ...yes girl!!! 💕💕

Such a nice video you posted, I’m about to watch part 2. I love looking at other ppls pantry just in case there’s something I don’t have. Also, can you share your lentil coconut soup recipe?!

Sorry for the second post but I just saw your applesauce. I have apple trees and picking will begin next month mid September through October or when I just can't stand it anymore. This looks like a really good year. I normally make and can applesauce but I decided I'd do apple pie filling this year because I have so much applesauce left from last year. Now it looks like I'll do both. I'm 65 years old and new to your channel.

What a tidy pantry!!!

If you're not too far from a large city, it'll be worth finding the local Chinatown. I live in my city's international district, and their supply of things like rice, beans, spices, and so on have stayed fairly steady. They're falling down around the edges (drinks, frozen, extras).

Thanks for this helpful info. 😊

I have so many bags of that pancake mix. Love it 😌

I love your attitude and I am looking forward to more of your videos!

Not sure if anyone has mentioned is, but you can order oats, wheat, wheatberries, etc. from Azure Standard.

i recommend adding walden farms products; they are amazing and most are zero sugar and zero carb; walmart carries most

Loved seeing your pantry! And I'm pretty sure we would be very good friends if we lived near each other - so many similarities in how we think about things!

We recently started using the GH sugar-free brand. I was surprised at how good it actually is.

If I had a pantry this size I'd slowly do the same thing, but I dont. But at least I have a pantry, a dehydrator, and vacuum seal machine with many bags. So that's cool.

Yes, no panic. it’s definitely better to get as much to limit your time in the grocery store. I stocked up before our lockdown in Ohio in 2020. if we did have to go to the store. It was in and out.

I open my Walmart cart and add things as she mentions them. Just added applesauce. Have only been to grocery a couple of quick trips since pandemic started.

I appreciate your calm and informative video on prepping🪴

Would love a video on your master meal list!

Excellent video! Love how organized your pantry is. Do you also have a long term pantry?

I have such a hard time prepping without waste. Under normal circumstances, we eat almost nothing packaged-all fresh meats, fruits, and veggies. I know that won’t be an option in an emergency situation, but if I buy a bunch of oats and rice and beans (which we don’t normally eat), it eventually goes to waste because we don’t have constant turnover in our pantry. But we can’t stock up on fresh stuff. I guess a freezer is our only option? That will work in a food shortage situation, but not a SHTF situation, so it still seems prudent to stock the pantry. I just don’t know how to do it without being wasteful.

Nice to see a well rounded pantry with fruits and veggies and not just cases of spam, mac and cheese, and white rice like other channels

I don't want to be "that person", but had to mention your home-preserved food... It's not safe to stack them like that. =( However, you can safely stack them with the bands loose on the jars (not tight; that's a no- no too) to give a gap so there's no pressure on your lids on your canned goods. =) I learned that last year from Heidi from Rain Country homestead on youtube. I know all the work that goes into canning and would hate for you to lose your food! I enjoyed your video and subscribed. =) We have a big family, too, and it's nice to see others out there!

You can order spices from Penseys.

Your pantry looks better stocked than Kroger!

We don’t really have any food shortages here in Florida but from what we know there is going to be cyber attack creating a shutdown of all power and water now that is something that is going that has my heart about to explode if it’s not one thing it’s another

Love your pantry,, it is so neat without baskets.

Our Wal-Mart is fully stocked and huge bins of various spices

Please do not take this the wrong way , I Love you!!

The date on those corn muffin mixes is no joke. It will not rise if expired.

I would dehydrate some of that canned corn. Grind it up to a powdered form. Corn meal to make your own corn bread. It is much better tasting and healthier to make your own cornbread mix.

Did you know that you could get powdered cheese (as in mac n cheese powder) in bulk? I've also scored some dehydrated heavy whipping cream powder in bulk. I was able to find both on amazon.

Just found you today! Beautiful pantry! You are correct when you say space can be an issue. Do you have a master food menu you have shared in the past that we can follow?

Cut up some potatoes cube them or wedges wash pat dry put a couple tablespoons of olive oil on them then sprinkle one package of lipton onion dry soup mix . Mix well spread on parchment paper on a cookie sheet pan cook at 400 degrees check at 30 minutes flip them then cook anther 15 min . Everyone loves them they are like home fries

The pictures are so confusing in the beginning. But, thanks for sharing. Your pantry is beautiful

Pancake mix is not a good long term storage item. It has a leavening agent in it and will go bad relatively quickly. Good idea if you will use it in a couple months…

Smaller mayo, mustard containers mayo does not last long. Most other condiments do but....just a suggestion. Love your video's

Try going to the Dollar store for spices if the main box stores are out.

Im new to you. Prepping is crucial atm imo

I wish I had a bigger pantry. I struggle even putting a couple weeks worth of food in there.

Costco has so much more than Sams.

Have you ever considered dehydrating fresh veggies and fruits? You put them in Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers and they last for YEARS! Take up little space and you just rehydrate when needed. This is a lot of canned food taking up a lot of space.

Wow How many kids you have? I always get bread flour at Walmart. Sam, Costco and BJ have been affected by the lack truck drivers. So their supplys are low everywhere.

Caution when storing pineapple..... the high acid content can cause cans of pineapple to go bad very easily, some times even before the expiration date. I have started storing mine inside of a plastic container just in case it should leak at least the liquid would be contained and not leak out causing damage to anything else. It made me grinch when I saw those huge cans at the very top of the pantry.... I would hate to see them leak down onto the shelves below.... 😕

You are correct, what lead you to do this stocking up of food , the news ?.

Went to bass pro shop yesterday. A mason jar quart of peaches was $11.99

I’m near Houston, Texas our Walmart is full. Where are you that you have shortages?

I’m constantly reorganizing everything!

No shortages in my area but I'm fully stocked.

Those pancakes are the best!!!!! Add a touch a cinnamon and oh man takes them over the top

I have to repackage everything for my pantry into glass jars or tins because we get mice in this old farmhouse.

Brown sugar 1 cup sugar 1-2 tablespoon molasses Store in closed container

Oh my goodness first off I have to say thank you for not being Doom and gloom channel. They are so many of those and if this was going to be one I would click off right away. This is my first video I'm watching of yours so I hope it's great I'm only a minute in!

In the state of Florida there's a shortage of baby formula.

MERCI DE VOS PARTAGE. SOYEZ PRUDENT . AVEC INTERNET TOUT CE SAIT. ARRETER . PLUS TARD IL VIENDRONT VOUS CONFISQUER .

What will you use the #10 cans of corn and pineapple for?

Wow. Impressive! Do you coupon? My life goals! 🙃

Awesome video

Can you show how to make homemade fresh pasta?

The Mac and cheese will go rancid after a awhile. I bought a big box and they did not last after expiration long
