im making a list of items and things to get as well as emergency food supplies. me and my family haven't been eating what we should have. i myself have been eating straight bread and pasta for months on end and its time to make a big change.
we got some of the basics like fresh veggies and what not but i need your guys help with items that we should get. my family knows of the supply chain and how its getting harder to get things so they are willing to make that hard 180 and get everything we need
I make sure to keep things like hot cocoa mix, sugar, honey, molasses olive oil, coconut oil, hot sauce, dried spices and herbs, salt, pepper, chocolate chips etc to flavor the long term storage we have. Also hard candies for the kids (young and old!), a moral boost.
Coconut oil and rolled oats have an incredibly long shelf life so my favorite things to store. Other oils and nuts can go rancid so be sure to rotate. Also tomato based food in cans sometimes go bad...I learned to only buy those in glass jars.
Cans with regular seals last longer than cans with pull-tops.
