Hiding Things In Plain Sight

Our house is way too small. I have had to come up with different ways to "hide" things around it. One of the ways is to use trunks! I have an antique trunk that is out coffee table and it is full of food storage and stuff. I also have wicker trunks that are stuffed full. Trunk at the end of the bed that is stuffed. Just trying to come up with ways to put more things in this house is a full-time job. Our shed is full. The closets are full. Under the beds. LOL I have rubber made totes that I just throw fabric over to hide them as our night stands. When you have a small house - you have to come up with ways to store items that does not have them out in the open. So I hide it all in plain sight.

Homemade Whipped Cream

Oh boy! I guess I made the worst mistake on Saturday that I could have ever made. At least that is what my husband told me. I FORGOT TO GET WHIPPED CREAM TO GO ON THE STRAWBERRIES THAT I BOUGHT! WOW! I just forgot. I let it slip my mind because I really do not like whipped cream on anything. Well, our son had the car and was out of town so we had to come up with something. Hubby was crying like a baby. So I had to get into my food storage and make some whipped cream. The photo is when it was about halfway done.

It worked great.

Keystone Canned Meat - Finally Got Some...

To Try!! And I have to say that it is not too bad. I really liked it a lot. I got 4 big cans for $6.48 a can at Walmart and each has 9 servings. 2 canned Keystone Ground Beef and 2 canned chicken. I also got a smaller can of the chicken to try out. We just opened the can, I drained the chicken stock into a freezer bowl to save for soup sometime, and added BBQ sauce and we had sandwiches. YUMMY!! I will be buying more of this. You can do so much with this canned meat. Make soups, casseroles, etc. Possibilities are endless. Great way to add to your food storage and give you something good to eat.

Trip To Walmart - Bear Creek Soup Mixes!!

We finally got to a Walmart this past Saturday. Have not been to one in almost a year. We were wanting to get some of those cans of Keystone Canned Beef and Chicken to try out. ( Post about that tomorrow!) We found these Bear Creek Soup Mixes that have 8 servings and are only $3.00!!! A lot of the food storage places online have soup mixes like this and they offer less servings and are about $2 - $3 more than this. So, if you are looking for a low cost way to build up your food storage this would be the way to go.

We made a package of the Creamy Potato soup for dinner that night. I have to say - IT is awesome. I have tried some of the food storage companies online and this is better than those. Creamy, thick, and really filling. It was full of diced potatoes. I loved it and so did hubby and the kids. This is a winner. I have other flavors to try out also and a couple of other brand of the soups that look good. Walmart have a huge selection of these. We will be going back and getting them all!! This is a great way to frugally add variety to your food storag

WAIT

Just wait a day. I have a ton of stuff to write. Made some additions to the stockpile, went to a yard sale, tried out some soup mixes, and more. Soon!! My son is out of school today and I just now have been able to get on here for a couple of minutes.
