Unlike last February when I started getting ready for the end of the world, kek, this year to repopulate my shelves I have been more selective about what I buy. I have 3 criteria:

  1. It must be shelf stable

  2. It must be something that my family will eat on a normal non SHTF day

  3. It must be at least 40% off

Every Wednesday when I take my boys to Kung Fu practice I have an hour to visit the big store there and walk all of the isles looking for stuff that meets my criteria, the loss leaders that these big retail chains offer just to get you in the door has been very helpful. I don't buy any of their other stuff just the cheap good stuff that meets my needs so fuck them.

For example today I picked up 27 juice boxes (right section, 3rd shelf down, blue box) at a 50% discount; I got 12 bottles of Heinz ketchup (same shelf) at a 45% discount; 12 cans of hot dogs at a 69% discount and a box of Oreos for 50% off (right section 2nd shelf down). Today was a good day.

We will be rotating all of this into our normal food plans and will be saving an actual bundle; if SHTF we should be fine for about 4-5 months.

So niggers, give it to me straight, what am I missing and what am I doing right?

The only thing that I personally would change is to put your dried goods in food grade 5 gallon buckets. You can easily get them from your local bakery for free. The buckets that their frosting comes in are air tight and they will gladly give them away just to get rid of them. Otherwise, it's perfect. Mine looks pretty close, except I can a shit ton of meals like soups and stews, fruits and veggies from my garden.

An excellent point since you can see by looking at our basement walls that we do have moisture issues. Fortunately I addressed that today by taking anything that isn't sealed in plastic and putting it into a vacuum sealed bag (commercial grade thick plastic).

If you look at section 2, 4th shelf down you will see some Barrilla pasta that formerly lived in a paper box and if you look at the bottom container on the right closely you will see that every 1kg bag of flour has also been similarly sealed. It took about an hour to do it but was well worth it, I grabbed a bag of sugar last month that felt like a rock from not being in a watertight container.

Being able to make your own food for your shelves is the absolute best, I gave it a go last year but since I didn't have any curing salt it only lasted about 6 months. Still some of the best damned jerky I have ever had. https://poal.co/s/BBQ/156515

That jerky looks delicious. I'm going to give your marinade a try as it's different from mine. I buy my meat and eggs directly from farmers. I have two large chest freezers and I buy half cows, and whole pigs and chickens. It's nice and they will butcher it any way that I like. When I do have to go to the store, I do the same as you do, I buy in bulk on sale.

Damn it, I really want some homemade jerky now. lol

For my BBQ I also have a direct line to a butcher who works at the farm to part out the animals to retail butchers. Farm direct is the best. Period. Freaks the Mrs. out though sometimes since I generally get the goods in plastic trash bags rather than hygienic vacuum sealed cuck bags. Lots of blood around too, I like it.

For my smoker I don't generally ever use a marinade or even inject, good beef really just needs salt, pepper and IMHO a bit of paprika on occasion.

Pork and chicken on the other hand are a different story.
