    The longer term stuff that I shy away from is plastics – if we ever need to dispose of our garbage (by burning), plastic will be a nightmare. Now I do have plenty of plastic garbage bags, but for food storage, wraps, plates, etc. I'm buying more compostable, wax paper, white butcher paper, foil, etc.

    I wash ALL fruits and vegetables in vinegar. With all the recalls on vegetables because of bacteria that causes stomach probs. I soak them in vinegar water for at least 30 min or more. Rinse, drain then store. I also use vinegar in dishwasher and spray diluted vinegar water to clean food surfaces then air dry. So many uses for vinegar it is essential. Helps unclog drains as well with baking soda. So many uses.

    Hey Steve,
    My problem is, I have too much food if nothing very serious happens, but not enough if something does.
    I think that's the dilemma of every prepper.
    While I have a very good amount for my husband and myself, I have adult children and grandchildren to think about.
    The same family who thinks 'we're a little nuts', we need to prepare for if we can afford to.

    I grew onions last year, and did pretty well. I have room for improvement, but I was pleased at how I did. I'm trying to learn how to grow potatoes, I feel like those are filling even by themselves.

    As for the storage of bulk foods such as rice, we go through it regularly as the DW has an allergy to wheat, we use the containers that the nuts come in. Wash them out with a small amount of soap and water and rinse. We do not put the containers through the dishwasher figuring the exposure to the heat is not good.

    We make our own meat stocks, as well as soups when it looks like some of the pantry items are getting close to the "best buy" date. When cooking bacon we keep the fat for when we make soups including ham and some of the vegetable soups. For years I have had to get the DW to understand that the layer of fat on top of them is important for flavoring and she finally agrees (reluctantly) to keep the fat based on last year's shortages even if we remove it when reheating the soups.

    Canned Ham WARNING:

    Wouldn't slice, dice, or brown. I put the crumbled mess in my beans. It was like someone vomited in my beans. It smelled like dog foods and made my cats beg &climb up my leg trying to get it (as I mangled it in an attempt to dice it.

    TRY IT BEFORE YOU SPEND ALL THAT $$$ ON IT. I do have quite a few tinned hams for trade goods…
