30 Foods Seniors Living Alone MUST STOCKPILE Before Winter (They Never Expire!)

🔗 Everything to lay by before the snow — Ready for Winter, part of The Holler Winter Collection: https://www.OpalRowe.com/home Opal Rowe counts down thirty foods seniors living alone can carry home and keep, because every storm list she has ever read was written for a strong back and a full house. The first ten are as near forever as food gets, and the other twenty are foods to stockpile that will outlast any storm, from emergency food for seniors that needs no stove to power outage food you can open with cold hands. She says plainly which "never expires" claims are true and which are only talk, and she shows how a small winter storm pantry gets built the old mountain way, one trip at a time. And the whole while, one pint jar sits on her kitchen table with the lid on, nothing under it and nothing plugged in. The folks at her church have begged her for years to tell them what she keeps in a jar like that one. Until now. In this one, Opal covers: • The Appalachian pantry staples that truly never spoil, like honey, salt, sugar and vinegar, and why the date on them was never a safety date • Why a 25-pound sack and a 5-gallon bucket are wrong for anybody living alone, and how small bags and quart jars keep you on your feet • Power outage food that needs no stove, no water and no opener, and the order to eat things in when the lights go out • How to read a can, where a winter shelf belongs, and how much water to keep when the pump quits • The pint jar on her kitchen table, and the one thing she'd keep if she kept nothing else Tell Opal where you're watching from, who taught you to keep a shelf, and what they never let run out. She reads every last one.
