First of all, many of the shelves, particularly in the canned goods area, we empty. The second observation, food prices, in general, are going up, and that includes some our your favorite soups, canned veggies, and the canned fruits you like.

As a prepper and one who likes to plan ahead and have food on hand under any situation, one of the best things about having canned goods in your storage stash is that they last for what seems like forever.

First of all, the stores must see a need for it or why would they order them, right? People must ask for them, enough said. I do not buy off brands as some store sells in other states. The prices on the case lot sales are cheaper than store brands per can. This is why these sales are so important.

People are buying cases if not more because the prices are the best all year. All you have to do is learn to have patience and be smart about when you buy them. Here are the best times and ways of saving even more money on canned goods the next time you plan on stocking up.

Here is how to save money on canned goods. Please stock up on these. The first trick to saving money on canned goods is to pay close attention to the ad flyers and purchase the items you like when they are on sale. Throughout the year most every store will have canned goods on sale at some point.

Their focus is not limited to your pharmaceutical needs in these tough competitive times. Stores like CVS and Walgreens have sales on canned goods at certain times of the year too. Sometimes grocery stores have great in-store price drops that might not show up on their ad flyers. Buying in bulk is also a great way of saving money long-term on canned goods.

Make sure you have room to store what you buy. Also, it only makes sense to purchase those cans that contain what your family likes to eat. If you buy a large quantity while products are on sale, you might look a little crazy, but who cares, you just found a great deal.

Just be sure to have a designated space to stash away your huge savings. Resorting to family-size cans on canned goods can save you a chunk of change too.

Most families need to use two cans for their meals, and smaller cans are usually pricier. If you have any leftovers, you can always freeze them. This will help you save even more money on loss-leader canned goods that require a loyalty card.

This is a helpful tool that the stores provide to help you take advantage of the best values. You can see the price on a per once basis and then compare that to other brands or can sizes.

It really helps with your decision-making while shopping. Believe it or not, in most cases, the generic store brands of canned food taste just as well, and at discounted pricing. While they might be preserved and seasoned slightly differently than Campbells, Dole, or Del Monte, you can always throw an extra dash of sugar, salt, or pepper to add flavor as needed.

Some grocery stores will even let you go as far as stacking coupons to have even further savings. This can be huge! You could end up paying just a few cents a can if you go to extreme measures on your couponing skills. You might also want to check up at the front of the store and see if they have any coupons in their coupons booklets that might help you even further.

This one you might just have to get lucky. Grocery stores change up their store shelving about once a year and get rid of any items that might be slower movers. Keep your eyes peeled for clearance or last-chance canned food items that will cost less than half or more of the original retail. Sometimes digging through massive carts piled with goods is like a treasure hunt where you might very well strike gold.

Another money-saver tip, you also want to be cautious when buying certain canned goods such as canned meats, sauces, stocks, soups, and chili. These items often cost more per ounce.

If you have extra time at home for meal preps, and if you have some experience in the kitchen, you can make these homemade yourself. Not only will you save more money, but it can also prove to be much healthier this way too. If you have a lot of leftovers, you can always throw them in the freezer for a later time.

How is this one supposed to save you money? This will keep you from throwing out cans that have long since expired. Preserving your own canned goods is one of the best ways to save you money. Yes, this requires some time and energy on your part, but you can make large batches for a fraction of the price and store the canned products on your pantry shelves.

I can remember enjoying canned fruits and veggies my parents provided as I grew up. My kids still talk about the peaches, pears, and apple sauce they enjoyed with breakfast, and it was fun doing the canning as a family. I highly recommend this USDA Canning Guide.

Which one on our list did you not know about before and will consider trying when you go to stock up on canned goods? May God bless this world, Linda. That said, undented cans potentially can last years past their marked expiration dates.

Of course, I try to make sure to use the oldest cans up first and put the new purchases if undented at the back of the system. Hi DMWalsh, great comment. If I buy a case of canned goods and see a can that is dented, I return to the store for a replacement can.

I learned too much at my Master Canning class about botulism. I feel so good knowing I have some cases of canned food because I can eat them right out of the can if I had to. Great comment, Linda. Hard for me since I like to cook from scratch; made a coffee cake yesterday…pretty good.

One thing I have noticed about stocking up if there is a can limit is that using the store rewards card is not always the best idea! I purchased the limit during a sale and decided to go back to get more a few days later.

When I checked out, I used my store rewards card both times. On the second trip, the checker told me that I had already purchased the store limit on that item. Just an FYI, be sure to check your store policy.

I agree with dmwalsh on purchasing marked down cans. This can also apply to the normal stock on the shelves. I have seen these sales primarily for boxed goods but this is a way to save big money!!

They are great to supplement our storage. I always repackage these for longer term storage. Also, if you do purchase these types of meals, they are a great way to support your local food bank at a reasonable cost to you.

It feels so good to donate to the food bank because there are so many that need the food we give to them. This product is sold under the name "solid white tuna. Albacore is a species that features on Greenpeace's red list, a group of species that the charity believes should not currently be commercially available.

In albacore's case, population decline, poor fishery management, and impacts on the ocean's ecosystems are the reasons for the fish featuring on the red list. Each of these is exacerbated by increased consumer demand.

Fortunately, Aldi shoppers don't need to steer clear of all canned seafood. As previously mentioned, the grocery brand has drastically improved the sustainability of its seafood in recent years.

As such, consumers should consider replacing the white tuna with alternatives like Aldi's Northern Catch sustainably caught pole and line chunk light tuna. This product is made from skipjack tuna, is MSC certified, and uses sustainable fishing methods.

All of which make it a sustainable choice. Aldi's range of canned products includes a number of ready meals. These are sold under several private-label brands including Bon Italia. This particular brand specializes in canned pasta meals and one of its products is beef ravioli in a tomato and meat sauce.

This product, like Bon Italia's other offerings, provides customers with a cheap, quick, and simple meal. Unfortunately, this convenience comes at a cost; the beef ravioli contains significant amounts of saturated fat and salt.

A single ounce can of Bon Italia beef ravioli contains over half an adult's recommended daily intake of salt and over a quarter of the recommended daily intake of saturated fat. What's more, the product is highly processed and includes artificial ingredients such as caramel coloring.

All of these features indicate that Bon Italia's canned beef ravioli is not a healthy choice. Customers who are seeking healthier options should consider switching to Aldi's canned pasta products for dishes that are cooked at home.

The store stocks a vast array of pasta types, including varieties made from beans, meaning every shopper has access to healthier options when it comes to pasta. Brookdale is another private, canned goods label that is owned by Aldi. One of the Brookdale products sold in Aldi is canned Vienna sausage which is made from a mixture of chicken, beef, and pork.

As with many other products on this list, the nutritional aspect of this product is its shortcoming. One 4. Eating these sausages is not an enjoyable experience.

They have an overly soft texture and are incredibly salty. The unpleasant texture may arise due to mechanically separated chicken being used to make the Vienna sausages. According to USDA, mechanically separated meat is the scraps of a carcass that has been forced through a sieve at high pressure.

The resulting meat takes on a paste-like consistency which consumers of this product will recall. Again, convenience and cost are the two main attractions of Brookdale's Vienna sausage. That being said, Aldi has a fantastic range of fresh and smoked sausages, including Polish kielbasa which is also cheap and ready to eat.

With such a solid range of fresh and smoked sausages, we believe Brookdale's Vienna sausage should be bypassed for healthier, better-tasting options. A lot of people shop at Aldi because of its cheap prices. As previously mentioned, canned goods are often amongst the least expensive products in the entire store.

This, however, does not mean that buying canned products is always the cheapest way to shop. Take potatoes , for example. Aldi sells canned whole potatoes through the Happy Harvest brand.

It feels so good to donate to the food bank because there are so many that need the food we give to them. I take out the expired cans and put several of them in zip lock bags, seal and freeze.

Storing them is no waste and it makes room for more in my pantry. I know to use them 1st when cooking. Just my tip! Happy freezing. Hi Brenda, when you do this are you taking the food out of the cans, right? I love it! Yes mam. I usually put 2 open cans to a bag in case company comes and then discard the cans or save clean cans for storing things later!!

Linda, With your Store rewards cards you can stock up on other things too. I bought Red Barons Pizzas for 1. True not as good as homemade but awfully good. I looked in another store I shop at and they are almost 5. Also our local store has a app and I buy the sale items.

They had 4 pound bag of sugar for 99 cents with the app. so I got it plus I got some other sale items. Walmart carries several canned items, for 50 cents. Love finding these win-win deals! Our store reward system also gives us points for money off gas per gallon.

We can also use it for money off our grocery purchase. We save it for gas though. We usually fill up once a month or longer. In fact, we filled up right after Christmas and still have almost a full tank.

All are within miles from home. Hi Deborah, wow, we can use ours for gas which we do but not food. I love the rewards system, thanks for the reminder!!! I love these tips Linda, thank you! Many stores in our area have purchase limits of 4 canned goods. Things are getting very scary at our stores.

I pray for us all. Hi Amy, thank you! Things are so crazy, grab what you can! My mom used to take us to the grocery store with her when there were limits.

My brother and I would get the limited amounts too — so 3 times the limit. I shop with friends so they get extra for me and I get extra for them. Hi Jennifer, I do the same thing. I remember someone telling me he was making some chili that called for 5 cans of beans.

The limit was 2. He went to multiple stores!! Dollar General and Dollar Tree can be reasonable as well. Coconut milk is more expensive at our Aldis. Juices are lower priced at Walmart, but lately they are out of stock most days. I have bought frozen, juice concentrate as an option because it takes up less storage space in the freezer than large bottles of juice do in the pantry.

Our local grocery stores often have good sales on dried beans and lentils so I take a pass by those each time I am in just to see if there is a sale on. We really do need to be diligent about looking for buys at different stores.

I love my case lot sales, they are priced way below the normal prices. Or olives. I believe things are going to get worse before they get better. I hope people have the food they need. We just bought 8 more lbs of pinto beans and 10 more lbs of white rice. I have all kinds of seasonings for them.

We are having an encore meal left overs tonight. We like to cook enough for two meals. That way all we have to do is reheat. One of my favorites is soup or stew.

I love soup and stew all year. I think I could eat soup every day. I like a lot of juice, hubby likes the veggies and meat. Good team we have. Hi Deborah, oh I love hearing this, squeal! No beans were on the shelves this week in my area.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your encore meal idea!! LOL Linda, we only use our points for gas, too. I will probably be using some toward groceries toward the end of the month though. Waste not, Want not! Just returned from a 70 mile round trip to the nearest IGA Independent Grocer.

Try adding spices, pressed garlic, or fresh herbs. Or, stir in a handful of shredded cheese, leftover rice, or fresh protein, like tofu or shredded chicken. Our favorite add-in? Swirled into almost any canned soup, pesto adds a dimension of flavor that's hard to beat. Making chili from scratch has a level of enjoyment and satisfaction.

But if you're short on time, canned chili is a delicious, affordable alternative. It's a meal-in-a-can perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. You can serve canned chili in various ways, including straight from the can. Enjoy it warmed up with cornbread or smothered over a steaming baked potato, crisp nachos, or golden french fries.

If it needs some pizazz, add homemade chili seasoning to give it the upgrade you want. Remember, chili also makes a superb, satisfying filling for tacos, burritos, and hollowed bell peppers. If canned chili on its own doesn't float your boat, use it as a base and add fresh ingredients — like cilantro and jalapeño — for bright flavor.

Or, sauté those green peppers in your vegetable drawer that have been creeping past their prime, then mix them into canned chili for some serious crunch. With a few simple additions, you'll have a nourishing weeknight meal that tastes homemade. There are many canned chili options for all sorts of diets: vegetarian, meat, and no-bean, to name a few.

As with other canned items, consider buying low-sodium. We get it. Canned luncheon meat isn't for everyone. But if your bank account is the lowest it's been in months, this affordable, shelf-stable food might be what you need.

Luncheon meats contain meat, water, and curing ingredients salt and nitrates. Fat, spices, and additives are sometimes also present. As you may have guessed, luncheon meats are high in calories, so eat them sparingly.

Nevertheless, keeping a few cans in your pantry is worth it for creating cost-effective meals. There are some fantastic ways to use luncheon meats. Because it's pre-cooked and a breeze to slice evenly, luncheon meats are great for layering in sandwiches or cutting into cubes for ramen soup, fried rice, and stir-fries.

We love it cut into strips, pan-seared, and wrapped in soft tortillas with a chipotle cabbage slaw for epic tacos. And it's the perfect salty protein needed in our weekend morning hashes.

We couldn't talk about luncheon meat without mentioning Spam. It's one of the most polarizing brands — people either love or detest it. But, whichever side you're on, its cultural status can't be denied. Hormel Foods introduced Spam to the masses in as inexpensive meat, a much-welcome product during the Great Depression.

Spam continued to grow in popularity during World War II because its long shelf life allowed it to be shipped to military troops across the country. To this day, Spam remains a budget-friendly food worldwide and a staple in Hawaii.

Pasta sauce is a handy food to keep in your pantry so you can enjoy quick and easy Italian dishes. Heat the sauce in a pot while your pasta cooks, and you'll have a tasty meal in less than 10 minutes.

And though it likely won't win a culinary award anytime soon, canned pasta sauce has its purposes, like feeding hungry kiddos, taking on RV trips, or stocking up for emergency preparedness.

We're aware that canned pasta sauce can be pretty bland. Fortunately, there are easy ways to improve its flavor by adding other ingredients, like fresh basil, red pepper flakes, and fresh garlic. Or, stir in some dried oregano and a pinch of sugar and use it as pizza sauce.

Pro tip: Allow the pasta sauce to simmer on the stovetop for 5 to 10 minutes before tossing it with cooked pasta. The added cook time allows the sauce to thicken and flavors to concentrate for that same richness found in homemade sauces.

A pantry essential for home cooks, canned broth is a savory base used in countless dishes. You can steep broth with herbs and white wine to use as a flavorful poaching liquid for fish.

Or, turn the broth into a satisfying soup by adding a protein and grain, like chicken and rice. And when used to scrape up browned bits left in a pan after searing meat, broth makes a superb base for pan gravies and stews. Canned broth is a terrific source of vitamins, minerals, and fluid to fight everyday ailments like colds and flu.

Nothing soothes a sore throat better than a cup of warm broth, don't you agree? One of our favorite immune-boosting soups is egg drop, and canned broth makes it so easy to prepare.

Drizzle whisked egg into a simmering pot of broth for a nourishing soup sprinkled with lots of fresh, minced garlic and sliced scallions. While both animal and plant-based broths are available, many are loaded with salt. High-sodium broth not only leads to high blood pressure but also affects the flavoring of your final dish, so always choose lower-sodium options.

If you need a quick and easy lean protein, canned chicken is an excellent choice. Because it's fully cooked and ready to eat, canned chicken is great for last-minute meals. Mix it with some mayonnaise and spices for an easy lunch, or use it in salads and sandwiches.

If you're a fan of BBQ chicken pizza, having canned chicken in your pantry is a must. You can also use canned chicken in more elaborate meals to reduce prep time. For example, next time you make pot pie, go with canned chicken — and while you're at it, use a store-bought pie crust we won't tell.

We're confident your guests won't know the difference, and you'll be chuckling all night. Butterfield 1. Campbell's Carey 4.
