FOOD SECURITY FOR THE TIMES WERE LIVING IN | PANTRY TOUR FOR OUR FAMILY OF 10

Published 2024-04-13
Hey everyone,
I want to share our pantry tour and the importance of having a well stocked pantry. There are so many issues right now with the economy, inflation, and global crises. Having a well stocked pantry can give you some peace knowing you can still feed your family in difficult times - whatever diffulties may come. I was sick filming this video and it took quite a bit of editing to make it look right so bear with me throughout it. Thanks for being here!!

    This is quite possibly the most beautiful pantry I have ever seen.

    This pantry is the wealth I aspire to have. Food security is higher on my list than monetary ❤
  • For anyone just starting out, buy what you eat! Also take $5 a week to buy items to stock up on and definitely don't forget the spices. Depending on the store, $5 can buy a lot of extras. And rotate it out.
  • I literally gasped when you opened your pantry door. Your set up is amazing! I was surprised to hear that the freeze dryer raises electric bill that much. No one is talking about that part. We will be empty nesters this fall so one would be overkill for us at this point.

    ""My can that I pressure corned" Angela I swear you're my sister. 😂

    Oh gosh, I have kitchen and pantry envy. Thanks for sharing
  • I've only recently started food preservation and backup food storage. It makes me feel good to feel prepared instead of scared. ❤
  • @J_LOVES_ME
    Wow, that is good that you mention the electricity when running the freeze drier! No one has ever mentioned that before.... that is a lot of money!
  • @lizshearer7846
    Put nuts in freezer. Can go rancid on shelf. I love your shelves and organization! Good job!
  • @susanb1843
    My best advice is only buy what you will actually eat. We learned this the hard way. I'm sure alot of people found this out also. Mac and cheese is a must. Not the powder kind. Variety of chips and crackers, all sorts of spices and sauces for tons of flavor, pasta, all our musts. We found out we don't use canned tomatoes, or canned beans except refried. That surprised us. Love your videos. Your pantry is great.

    I feel so bad and I am shocked your light bill is so high when you use your freeze dryer! I did not see significant increase over $30 a month when I use it regularly. Have you had someone look into this for you? Also, your pantry is so well organized, it is beautiful!
  • Beautiful storage! Be surento keep the temps low wherever you store longer term items. Great job!
  • I've been looking forward to this video, and it did not disappoint! Everything looks so organized and beautiful.
  • I absolutely love your pantry and the other spaces throughout your home kitchen where you have short term and long-term storage for food. The pantry that you redid is gorgeous can’t say enough about it. I love stuff like that. . That’s why I paused the video sometimes and just stare in aww! I can sort it out in my head and get ideas from what you’ve done. Their ideas not copycats because I don’t have the same space you do.. Hope you get to feeling better soon. Certainly no fun being sick. Take care of yourself and we’ll see you when you get better.
  • @ArkansasSquaw
    Yay!!!! I've been waiting for your pantry tour video❤❤❤. Thanks so much! Everything looks absolutely amazing.
  • @MGCMG980
    This is truly labor of love! You guys did very well, you can be proud of yourself, so much work! 🫶🩷🤗
  • @cherylmeeks2688
    Thank you for showing your pantry. It gives all of us watching different ideas. Love your videos.
  • I was canning peaches and mixed up my unlabeled salt and sugar. Thankfully, I caught it before I canned it. I had to soak and rinse the peaches. I was able to save them and can them just fine. My dad was staying with us and surprised us with French toast. He said I was lucky that he sniffed my unlabled spices because we almost got paprika instead of cinnamon. My husband put sugar sprinkles in his dad's coffee instead of sugar. I now label. 😂
  • The sweet tea story! 😂 I’m a Southern girl and I promise you, that has happened to the best of us. (It’s funny in hindsight, but not at the moment-especially for the person who takes the first “sip”!) Beautiful pantry!
  • @Steve-iw2ir
    You have a beautiful pantry, and with teenagers in the house all that food should last you about 3 weeks.😆Also, thanks for letting us know how much it costs to run the freeze dryer. I've been wondering about the cost for some time.
