Let me come right out and say this; we are in very uncertain times in this country.

Recently I heard the pathetic treasure secretary attempt to “calm the people down” and convince us the banks are safe. The illegitimate puppet leader said the same thing too, basically, everything is fine, go back to your devices, nothing to see here.

However, the banks are vastly undercapitalized, FED reduced the reserve requirement in 2020 to zero %. The BRICS nations are trading without the dollar, OPEC just cut crude oil production by over 500,000 barrels per day for the rest of 2023, the border is wide open. Suffice it to say, our republic is quickly falling apart.

So on to the bundles…..the idea here is to get inexpensive and related items that can be made into simple meals that will satisfy and keep you from going to stores. These simple ideas and strategies are aimed at those of you who have not started storing food yet.

Think about this, if you have a can of tuna, a jar of peanut butter, some bullion, and a jar of BBQ sauce what are you going to make? On the flip side if you had a can of roast beef, a box of potato flakes, some bullion, and a can of vegetables you could make a beef stew. The idea is to make sure these bundles or kits are built with related items that go easily together into simple meals.

Pasta Bundle, Buy:

• assorted shapes of pasta

• small cans of tomato paste

• 28 ox cans of tomatoes, petite diced are my favorite but whole peeled are good too.

• Parmesan cheese-good stuff if you can afford it and have a freezer, or green can if not, better to have than not IMO

• Italian seasoning

Rice and Beans Bundle, Buy:

• black beans, I buy at Costco

• rice, I prefer aromatic rice like Basmati or Jasmine but long-grain or brown rice is perfect too

• organic if possible, onion and garlic powder (keep frozen)

• full-fat coconut milk, which I buy from Walmart or Amazon (links below)

• Chipotles in Adobo

Tuna Casserole Bundle, Buy:

• your favorite tuna

• egg noodles or other shapes like farfalle or even pinwheels

• cans of peas and carrots or bags of frozen

• cans of cream of mushroom Soup (I eat this stuff once per year, but in a pinch, I’m fine with it)

• bags of powdered milk (see below)

• containers of cheddar cheese powder (see below)

Roast Beef Stew Bundle, BUY:

• cans of roast beef, which I buy from Costco

• cans of green beans

• cans of peas and carrots

• Better than bullion beef base or cubes you like

• 1 Potato starch

Chicken n Dumplings Bundle, BUY:

• cans of chicken breast

• cans of green beans

• cans of peas and carrots or frozen

• Better than bullion chicken base or cubes you like

• all-purpose flour

Morning Coffee Bundle-MOST IMPORTANT ITEM!!!!!!!

• your favorite whole bean coffee-you know what mine is!

• freeze-dried instant coffee, yes I keep this stuff too (see below)

• half & half or other creamers or 2 cases of Evaporated milk (unless you take coffee black)

• packets of sugar in the raw

Fat Bundle (I prefer To Keep these Frozen if Possible)

• butter

• extra virgin olive oil

• coconut oil

• lard

• beef tallow

• Duck fat?

These bundles can be customized with dried spices, dairy, seasonings, fresh vegetables, etc. These are examples to get you thinking of buying bundles so all items are in-stock and ready to go should the day come you need them.

Storage:

I think these bundles or kits could be ticked into a flat plastic container and slipped un a bed, or stacked together on top of shelves or just about anywhere. I also suggest placing a simple label on the front so they are easily identified. And lastly, these should be rotated thru every so often to ensure they stay fresh.
