AN OLD FASHIONED GROCERY STORE IN YOUR HOUSE | TRADITIONAL FOODS PANTRY| COPYCAT JIFFY CORNBREAD MIX 

Another tip, potato flakes are steller for thickening soups, stews, gravies, etc.. Better than usual thickeners, tastes good, no need to premix seperately before putting in as you would with traditional thickeners. Learned this from top french chef that top chefs like Wolfgang Puck look up to.

Hi, just discovered your channel, enjoyed your video very much. I live in Maine. I’m a widow after being married to my husband four 42 years. It has been a challenging time, but I am finally able to see the world in color not in black and white. My husband loved to cook and did almost all of the cooking. So I’m learning to cook and have a pantry at 68 years old! 😂. Just subscribed, and I am looking forward to viewing your other videos. Your warmth comes right through the screen! Such a pleasure to listen to you. Thanks! Looking forward to getting to know everyone. Be well, stay safe, Victoria.

I did an experiment with a bottle of olive oil and it was a success 😊 I put a full bottle in my freezer and I actually forgot about it for a couple years. Once the oil fully defrosted it was still in perfect shape and didn’t change the flavor or texture in any way 😃

I know this is a grocery store pantry video, but she is very pretty. She looks like one of those movie stars from the past.

I love that you turned the play house into your pantry that is seriously genius ❤

Great work! Yes, you do indeed want to keep an eye on tomato and pineapple products in the pop-top style cans. Very wise to have them up front like that. Also, I took to recycling those 2-liter soda bottles for storing legumes and grains long-term. I will freeze the item from the store for 72 hours, bring back to room temperature for a day, re-freeze for another 72 hours, then finally decant into the soda bottles along with a couple of bay leaves. The double freezing is to trick any critters into thinking it’s spring and hatching themselves off. They don’t get to nosh on my hard-earned money! 😂.

Love seeing people's home pantries. We make so much passata and whole, peeled tomatoes and pizza sauce. It lasts so much longer in glass. I would love to have a space like this for all the canning I do. Have a lovely weekend!

Thanks for taking us grocery shopping in your “grocery store”! What a fantastic space! Your videos are always refreshing !

Hey everyone! Just a tip for labeling glass jars and containers: I label my glass jars and containers with a black sharpie marker. It can be easily washed off with dish detergent. It's an inexpensive way to label. I often write the contents and expiration date on the glass.

Wow! So many mean spirited people in the comments! You give great ideas on how to stock up.

I am currently using tomatoes with date of 2017... I'm shocked how good they are.

Learned to make my own spices, started without dehydrator using lowest setting on my stove. Then kids gave me their old dehydrator to try. Loving it. Still use oven also. Mostly during winter months to keep warm

I'm so envious of the jugs your vinegar comes in! In the U.S., at least everywhere I've ever shopped, they come in more cylindrical bottles and the space they waste on the shelf is maddening!!

Awesome thanks! Our house is so tiny so we don’t have a lot of room for food storage but we need it! Now I want my husband to build a little insulated house like yours for our pantry because we can’t always get to town during our long winters.

Great inspiration! I store my seeds and grains in glass jars in the freezer, it keeps them from going rancid. I also store my brown rice and things like yeast and baking soda there as well. I also store spices that way if I find a great deal such as the buttery chicken rub I bought for just a dime per jar, (I bought ten!)

My MIL passed away last Nov at 99. Her husband the year before at 98. I think the reason they both lived so long is because she NEVER used store-bought packages of food. Nothing with preservatives like hamburger ******, etc. if she wanted food like that she just cooked it herself. She would use cans though. I think those preservatives are not good for you. I loved this video you did today. It was in the same vein of how my MIL used to cook. TY

Great idea's Lisa. I put my rice and flour in the freezer first to rid any bug's, then seal then in mylar bag's with O2 absorbers, then put in a 5 gallon bucket. Hoping it lasts.

This is the best how-to video on this subject I've ever watched. I can never finish these videos because I get overwhelmed by all the difficult sounding instructions. You make it simple, very informational.w8thout making it boring. You made it so that I look forward to and be excited to start my pantry!! Thank you for posting all this wonderful information. ❤ ps. I've made two lists according to all the info you've given, shopping list and buy in bulk list...

This is a great concise video for beginner pantry preppers and your personality is lovely! I freeze my grains and beans and let them come back to room temp before putting them in jars with a bay leaf. Also if I vacuum seal in plastic, I get those big holiday popcorn tins from the thrift store to store the bags in. Keeps out light and rodents.

This is the same thing I do and have done for 25+ yrs. I prefer to store whole food ingredients vs a lot of processed/prepackaged foods. I can make a variety of things from it and will definitely survive in a disaster just fine. I've made homemade Bisquick, jiffy mix, hit choc mix, brownie mix, dry cream of chicken, chicken and beef broths (dry and liquid), and other things. Great video!!

Honestly I asked th universe what should I do to be prepared cause everything seems to be going up how can I help my family even more and I was quickly drawn to your chanel,love the name the content,and mostly you genuine kind spirit,thank you for making a fun informative video,I will use it all,God bless!

You are a very smart lady! Thanks for this great information.

Over the past three years I have changed the way I shop. I bulk shop a couple times a year, then weekly go out for dairy and produce. Saves a lot of money and time!

Dry bay leaves also help prevent weevils. I have stored dry goods for over 3 years without any issues.

Another wonderful video! Thanks for caring and sharing sweet friend❤. Love your pantry!!!

You have PERFECT skin! Also this video was very inspiring.. I have a downsized pantry with lots of these supplies that would last a couple months at most but I’m trying to get on your level!

I have built a similar pantry in my garage!! I call it my panic pantry, buy my items on sale and with coupons, and have been able to use it as a ministry, making up food boxes for relatives (mostly the youngun's just getting started) that have run a little short of groceries well before the next payday.

That soup mix sounded great, I have never seen that before. Thanks for the copycat jiffy mix recipe.

We are seniors and shop once a month so buy bulk. Frozen stuff we dehydrate and vacuum seal our own meal kits to save our jars for meat. So all month we are canning and dehydrating. Even canned products out of date, juices about to expire dehydrate and vacuum seal. Fits in the under the bed tote. Small closet totes, shoe boxes that can be marked and stacked in the corner of my closet

My grocery store consists of home canned stuff. Spaghetti sauce, stewed tomatoes, canned veggies, pickled red beets, canned fresh peaches, canned apples, homemade peach preserves. I live in the mountains, and we usually grow a huge garden each year. You did give me some good tips about flour though. I freeze my flour.

the potato flakes give a wonderful thickening and flavor to potato soup, some rivels makes an amazing comfort food

For tomato sauce or paste I buy large cans of dehydrated tomato powder and mix it up as needed. Doesn’t take up much room and do easy to use for chili, spaghetti, or thickening salsa (I make from scratch) instead of having to cook it down!

Im in the deep south so an outdoor shed wouldnt work but i love the simple transfer to a glass jar for storage ideas. I may start transfering my pantry items to jars

Love the way you get right to it and present things touched one just about everything so somebody just said one of your videos they get a lot of information in a short amount of time thank you so much

Thank you! Wonderful pantry ideas!

Thank you for this sweet and inspiring video. Lots of good advice and tips. 🌸 Michele

LOVE LOVE LOVE your grocery store!!! Fantastic tips Lisa! I have a larder where are store all my canning in but haven't quite transferred over my rice and flour!!! I have the buckets and mylar bags.... I just need to get it into gear! Thanks for the great info!

Even if your maple syrup goes mouldy, just scrap off the mould and heat on the stove. It is fine to eat again.

Your pantry is very organized for easy use and access. Good, helpful tips. Thank you!

great tips, and I just love your channel, just recently found it, but you live the way I mostly do, but give me even more tips and ideas. Can I just say you have that 50's bombshell housewife vibe going on.

I love potato flakes. Good tips, thank you!

Another timely informative video. Thank-you.

I just discovered your channel, and I have really enjoyed this video. My husband and I are empty nesters, but we still buy in bulk. And we freeze a lot of produce and homemade sauces for the year (from our garden.) Like you, I save every jar and container to use for food storage. We live in the country, so we have little visitors from time to time who can nibble through most of the packaging from the store. I like to make cute labels for each jar!

Thank you! Love the addition of the recipe👍

I’m glad I found your beautiful channel and thank you so much for sharing this beautiful information with us cause I learned so much 🥰. Now I know how to gave some food fresh and for a long time.

What a beautiful pantry! That gave me some ideas.

We have a very similar pantry, except mine is in our basement. :) I do love watching your videos, many thanks for the info and sheer homemaking comfort you share, it's very much appreciated. My husband's half Italian, his mother was from Brindisi. So I have a few good Italian recipes. Italians certainly know how to cook delicious meals!

I love the pantry - sub'd when I saw all the cat treat containers!!! LOL

Thank you for the video of your store. You have the perfect size space for your grocery items.

This was great, we have to be prepared. Thank you!

Your pantry is quite a lot like a root cellar although it probably doesn't maintain the cool temps all year. It looks wonderful! Great job!

So glad to see a fellow Canadian!

Canning jars are the best for food storage. You can see what you have at a glance, and as you stated, the food lasts a very long time. 🥰🌱🌿🌷💐☔💗✝Happy Easter🥰🌱🌿🌷💐☔💗✝

Wonderful video. I’m a first time viewer and have subscribed. Your pantry looks much like mine, but it’s fun to see how others store their food items.

I love your pantry! I used to grow everything and put it in cans or the freezer. I moved and my land is all shade, and the land is total rocks. I can only grow herbs, due to veggies needing 6 hours or more of direct sun. I miss that. Your video is giving me hope for an alternative type of pantry. I’m really excited. Here, fresh foods and veggies are really high priced, especially at Farmers Markets. You can buy enough to eat, but it wouldn’t make it financially worth it to can. I’ve subscribed and I love this video!

Awesome content - my kids often drop by to shop my store! I love getting things we are going to use on sale or even free and canning/dehydrating/freeze drying them for later use. It is such a downer to run out of something and have to buy it at the inflated retail price. Love seeing a pantry of real foods. I’m also on Vancouver island but on the northern end of it so grocery options are very limited and a deep pantry is essential. I’ve subscribed and have no idea why it took me this long to find your channel !

Great practical tips! More applicable for my lifestyle! Thank you! New subscriber!

Very informative! You’ve got quite the pantry! I’m big on repurposing things and happy to see you recycling containers for your food pantry! I don’t know if Canada celebrates St. Paddy’s Day 🍀, here in the states we do and every year I make the traditional Irish meal with homemade Irish soda bread. Last year I used half flour and half oat flour with oats I ground up in the blender and it was the Best Irish soda bread ever! Huge hit with my friends.

Dear Lisa: Thank you for your wonderful videos. I´m from Argentina. God bless you and God bless your lovely family

wonderful video. Thank you Lisa

this is the most sensible advice i have seen ...thanks for sharing the cornbread recipe ,i have some 25 year old cornmeal to use (was properly stored=haha) ...Yah bless...doug

Thanks for the storing tip for potatoe flakes!❤ I also use them as you do and I use them for making potato bread 🍞 😊

Awesome thanks: this reminded of our father;. Always had a shed full of food storage!!

You are gorgeous and have validated me and what I have put away in my 720 foot apartment. God Bless you!

We keep bulk items that we use regularly in the large screw top animal cookie containers that you can buy at Sam’s. We have 6 children, and collected quite a lot of these containers when they were all little.

I just learn a lifetime of information. THANK YOU ♥︎

Hi, I've just discovered your channel. Loved this video so much, I've already subscribed😊 Very much looking forward to watching your other videos too. I'm in England so I guess some of your ingredients may not be available over here, but that won't stop me from enjoying your content. 🥰

Absolutely Love your Channel..and you!. You're a beautiful lady inside and out. You remind me so very much of a Dear wonderful Friend of mine. My name is Kathy.

Wow! I so much enjoyed this video! I keep extra foods around…and bought a small extra freezer and an extra small refrigerator….because I use so many different ingredients when I cook. Thks for talking about ‘timely storage’ of things. I subscribed. Ahna. Atlanta Georgia 👏👏👏👏

I love your video. Excellent ideas. Thank you.

Love your pantry! I will have to look for those strained tomatoes & the soup mix. I agree about the honey, so important to have stored, is a miracle food! Thanks so much for sharing!

I agree I always have them hand !!

Great information. New subscriber so I don't miss that tuna recipe that you mentioned...lol. Sounds delicious!

I keep my flour, sugars, cornmeal, etc in half gallon jars fir my daily use. To store those things in my stockpile I will use brown paper lunch bags labeled with the date, the product and weight. I usually weigh out 2# since that easily fits in my half gallon jars. I then add the product, roll up the bag, cacuum seal and store in buckets with gamma lids. I do package some in 1# portions in case family or a neighbor needs some. I made a lot of jam and jelly and almost depleted my sugar supply so I'm starting to rebuild it. I have a large freezer that I've been going through. I vacuum seal meats that go in there. When it looks like the date is getting close I pull it out, thaw it and can it. If it's Italian sausage, I'll raid my tomato stockpile and make pasta sauce for canning. I try to use everything and if it means making it into something else and canning it, I'll do it. My Mama always said "waste not, want not".

Greetings from Chickamauga, Ga. U.S.A. ! I've just discovered your channel ! LOVE IT ! Thank you Soooo Much for the Jiffy Mix Hack !! I've had a pantry in my basement for about three years now, but I've only recently started doing the glass canning jar storage, and you are so right, it Really works. Also, I buy shelf stable milk from dollar tree and keep plenty of it on hand. I don't have little ones at home, so I mainly just use it for cooking/recipe's etc. You have a New Subscriber! 😀❤

Potato flakes also make a good soup thickener.

Thank you for the Jiffy recipe! I would love to have your tuna pasta recipe if you get the time!

Except of the very useful info you gave us, you are a very sweet and beautiful lady with a warm smile.

New sub here! 💫 Just found your channel. You make an excellent quality video; you also have a great on-screen presence.😊 Italian here; would love some authentic recipes or cooking videos! 🍛 Thank you & good luck on your channel!

These are great tips, I have just started to save large salsa and pickle jars. I enjoyed your video!❤

Great info. Love seeing other people pantries and ideas

Regular cans without the pull top, can last 3 or 4 years past the best buy date.

This recipe is so perfect and such great ingredients over the Jiff mix. Thanks for sharing Lisa, love all your videos and hope you're well!

This is my first time on your channel. Your Great Value soup mix looks great. I'm sure that my Walmart doesn't offer it. I even checked online and I couldn't find it. I really like the idea of those ingredients so I might just add the ingredients together. Thank you!

I store both versions of white table salt (with iodine and without) because I was told the iodine makes the salt go bad eventually. However the non-iodine salt will last forever.

Wow I wish we had such lovely pack food can food... In India we don't have these options....

Thank you for this video!

Thank you so much for the copycat jiffy mix. Everything was helpful but the last time I bought the mix I was shocked at the price jump.

Great tips! I can tell you aren't a Southern -raised girl -- you forgot to mention the mayonnaise in the mashed potatoes, LOL!

What a great idea for a home for the groceries

Ok, tbh, I’m heading over to your house for dinner tonight 🙂

I've been adding potato flaked for years. Never knew when there was going to be extra people.

New sub - great video thank u! (u remind me of madeleine stowe🙂)

I used soda and water bottle for storage of grains

Unfortunately that building outside wouldn't work in my part of Texas. It gets way too hot.

I'm on a very limited food budget. Rice is an extremely more budget friendly option than potatoes. It's also more versatile than potatoes. I love potatoes, but can't find bulk dried potatoes (for hash browns or augratin potatoes) in my area.

Started making my own vinegars.

As far as sardines go , opt for the ones with skin and bones. Higher in omega-3’s and an excellent source of natural readily absorbable calcium.

Wow, that looks great. I love the supportive comments but some of them are very negative and unnecessary. 😢
