I store most of my food at the supermarket. It never seems to go bad there?
And when I go to pick something up to eat. It always seems fresh.
Yummy!

Been prepping for over 25 years so not only have I learned these lessons I
have lived them.
Buying these type of canned goods are a great idea and I keep a very, very
generous supply of Spam, corned beef hash & Tuna in my stores along with
canned veggies & fruits. In addition you need to keep lots of dry goods
stored. I prefer dry beans, rice, pasta, rolled oats and wheat (which I
grind myself for flour). Also should keep salt, spices, honey and sugar.
DO NOT just buy these canned goods in a huge supply and hide them in your
closet or basement for 20 years…they will eventually go bad or at least
to the point you don’t want to eat them. BUY WHAT YOU EAT DAILY.
Lets say you like Spam and eat it at least once a week. Lets say you stock
up 104 cans, that would give you one can a week for 2 years. Keep eating it
and when you buy new cans to replace just rotate and you will never have
anything over 2 years old. Your constantly eating it and replenishing it
with new cans. Don’t buy and stock stuff you do not eat normally or tyou
will be throwing your money away eventually.

This is a good video this, a lot of truths in here. You don’t need to spend
a fortune on MRE stuff to be able to have some emergency rations in, if you
understand the dates and best before dates well.
Imagine how pleased you would be to open a tin of pink salmon if you hadn’t
had a decent meal for a while and had spent a lot of time worrying and
looking after yourself.
As a person in the UK I am genuinely wondering just how many US citizens go
to this kind of lengths though? You guys have a massive country and are
super powerful yet you seem more edgy about the future than a lot of people
I know here.
If it was a war with Europe, The middle East or Russia it’s likely that
they would have to defeat Britain before they could access the east of the
US in a meaningful way so we, here in the UK are strategically probably in
a less defensible situation than the US is but i don’t think there is much
of a British ‘Preppers’ movement.
I’m genuinely interested, what is it that preppers think is going to happen
in their lifetimes? I like to chat with people who have interesting views
and you said to leave a comment so . . . .
Peace man. :-0

Don’t believe the expiration dates on cans. Last week I opened a can of
Del Monte green beans I had for 14 years (I always write the month and
year with a sharpie on the can lid) and it was still good. It tasted a
bit like tin, but I threw in some spices and it was good. I rotate my food,
but I somehow missed that can. Did you know a can of food from WWII was
found in England in 1980? It was tested and the nutritional value was 93%.
Cans are not as thick today as they were in the 1940s, but they have a
much longer shelf life than the stamped expiration date. Also there are
foods that have an indefinite shelf life. They are sugar, whole wheat (you
must have a wheat grinder if you store whole wheat), and honey. Jams last
forever too (probably because they are loaded with sugar). Don’t forget to
store water, too. Dry beans have a minimum 5 year shelf life, you will
have to soak in water longer before cooking. Beans are an excellent source
of protein and they are the musical fruit. LOL Don’t forget dried milk.
If living from paycheck to paycheck, take little steps toward food storage
– water is the most important item to store. Clorox is a great water
purifier, primarily because it is inexpensive. Make a goal of $10 to $25 a
month toward your food storage and only purchase sale items or bulk items.
No room you say – how about under your bed, in your suitcase, be creative.
Do not store in attic or garage in hot temperatures. Nothing destroys food
storage faster than heat. As Survivalist 2012 says, if can has a bulge or
swollen or leaking – toss it. Keep your pets safe as you may not eat your
dog/cat, but someone else, who is hungry will. Review YouTube video
Strategic Relocation – Joel Skousen, then invest in the book $35- it is a
wealth of information. All the best.

Simply Learn to pressure can your own food, All the store bought cans are
full of salt and preservatives and are not really good for you. Unless they
are low Sodium.
Pressure Canning Meats, Soups, Fruits and Vegetables at home is easy and
cheap. Also the home made product is free of preservatives and far more
nutritious. I have been home canning for many years.
It’s fun and easy.
I will never run out of wonderful home cooked preserved food. The jars do
tend to pile up!! I can make many more than I can eat so my pantry is
stuffed to the gills. Which is fine,, The food lasts forever as long as the
seal is unbroken. I stopped for a year and never even noticed.
Chicken Dinner tonight??
Say no more..
In fact almost anything is available…

Maybe it is below in comments so sorry for the repeat but it is worth
mentioning.
Canned food lasts ‘indefinately’. Period. You’ve seen the stories of 100
year old shipwrecks
found with edible canned goods. That is with 100 year old can technology
folks.
The thing to remember is taste, texture and nutritional value does diminish
with time.
As long as the can is not bulging (and I haven’t seen that in 30 years) and
the seal(s) are intact it is ok to eat.
Is it going to look like dog food? Maybe, will it have lost half it’s
nutrional value? Possibly.
10 years past and hungry; if it doesn’t smell after opening, I’m chowing
down.
Additionally, sometime ago I was reading about canned food shelf life and
the author of the article
contacted Hormel for comment, especially about the old standby Spam.
Spam has a confirmed shelf life of 25 years! The rep chuckled they put a
few years out date to get you to buy more!
As far as the high sodium content some folks worry about; if it is SHTF and
your working to live, sodium levels are your last concern.
Prep up!

Pretty much any low acid canned food will last quite a long time if stored
properly. The issue with canned food (and most long term storage foods) is
sodium. It would be wiser to establish a garden and food storage. Have your
SHTF/Emergency food storage and your “regular” food storage (canned from
your own garden). Occasionally rotate through the emergency store. This
setup would set you up to have food for life with a little extra security
on the side. At some point in the future (probably early 2015) I will be
making videos concerning establishing a food garden.

very good, throw some canned chicken in the mix, and dry rice is good
forever…and… can be used to dry out electronics if submerged in a
flood, highly concentrated protein foods then highly concentrated carb
foods.

Simply because a can has a dent in it,it still is OK.
A leaker is the one you want to throw away.
A dent does not mean the contents are bad,no matter what you are told.
Now, a can lid that is bulging, is not good.
Look at your canned veggies and fruits.The lid will look like it is sunken
in. This
is good. Why ? It shows a vacuum was created at the cannery.
And if done properly, canned fruits/veggies should last for 5 to 7 years.

Go to Costco. Find all of these products on the shelf. Including Mountain
House if you want. Cruise the food section slowly and use your imagination.
Freeze dried fruits, jerky, beans and rice by the 25 pound bags. As he
says, don’t try to do it all at once….just do it once a week

Good info! You can add chopped or shredded chicken to this list. My plan
has been to purchase Dry beans (pintos, navy, black etc.) store them in
sealed 5 GA. buckets. Buy restaurant container size spices. Bulk wheat.
The canned meats will help with the protein and wheat for fresh bread!
