What canned goods would you go buy for canned goods right now? With $100.

I have started on rice, flour, sugar and salt. Have a handful of the canned foods we eat often.

 

[goose3]

Vegetables: Green Beans, Baked Beans, Corn, Carrots

Fruit: Peaches, Pears, Mandarin Oranges and the like.

I could tell you what I would buy, but I won't ... because you should buy what you eat/like ... not what other folks would.

Also watch for sales, most canned goods go on sale every so often.

Pretty much stock up what you like, when its on sale.

Anything you like, or eat on a regular basis should be stocked.

Also, if you eat/like pasta it stores well too

Definitely some beans at a wholesale store. They're cheap.

Something that adds flavor, like chicken broth or cream of chicken. You'll get awful tired of rice and beans fast.

 

[cgcs]

agreed,store what you eat. i personally started out the canned food with campells chunky soups,lotsa meat an veggies in there to make it balanced. then i got alot of chef B spaghetti..my hubbys fav lol.

 

[bltjr1951]

Bunch of soups and chili for the coming winter.
And some Bud light for the hot days left.

 

[maggie357]

Cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, cheddar cheese soups to put with the rice. Canned tomatoes and/or tomato sauce and tomato paste to make casseroles. A few cans of tuna or chicken. Assuming you like all this.

Spam-tuna-but like others have stated get what you like to eat. I have a good friend who purchased a bulk amount of freezed dried veg. tried them and they taste like hell, but I guesss thats better than not eating.

 

[Pegsmi98]

Thanks for the quick responses folks:thumb: School is starting pretty quick and needed a quick eye opener from my usual "can grabs"...

Prep what you eat and eat what you prep.

I try to make it a point to try one new thing every time I shop. We have our favorites but I tend to ignore everything else so who knows what as yet unknown new favorite is just waiting to be discovered. Canned meat-type things are an area I have to stretch and try new ideas in. We've found a few we've added to our preps and a few we were really grateful I bought a can instead of a case.

Canned meat.
Parboiled beef
Chicken
Ham

 

[charliemeyer007]

30 cans of chicken breast $60
1/2 gal of extra virgin Olive oil $15
several pounds of dehydrated onion flakes $10
Several 5 pound bags of mixed grain spiral noodles $10

After a year living on preps, I would say veggies and fruit. It was lacking and we NEED the vitamins they provide. If you catch a sale, that is 200 cans of fruit and veg. We did have meat but, if you don't have any stored, add some of that.

Outside of that add dried beans to your stores.

 

[bigislandhikers]

33 cans of fruit
33 cans of Veggies
33 cans of meat and carbs


That's about 99$


Don't forget water

plus several cases of tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes and LBS of pasta.

Tomato stuff does not have a long shelf life, anything with red sauce will go bad in 5 years, just my exp

True, get some tomato powder, it tastes better than any commercial product and lasts forever and is actually affordable, often times cheaper than stuff in a can or jar. Outside of home canned tomato goodness, tomato powder is the only way to go.

****Tomato products in glass last for decades.

read your labels on the canned fruit and veggies... some are lacking or have little vitamins, especially canned fruit with corn syrup. Adding a multivitamins to your preps couldn't hurt.

I have been told to think light and practical with dehydrated fruits and vegetables due to the space and the weight if you have to be on the move.
