There are lots of supermarket sale items this Thanksgiving week, so it is a good time to stock up. You can easily supplement your emergency food supplies by picking up a few extra cans or boxes of the following:
- canned corn
- canned green beans
- instant mashed potatoes
- canned cranberry
- canned mandarin oranges
- canned peaches
- gravy packets
- pumpkin puree
- flour
- sugar
- yeast
- baking powder
- baking soda
- bread mixes
- canned evaporated milk
- canned condensed milk
Make sure you check expiration dates before you buy. Don’t pick the items from the front; those usually have the shortest expiration dates. Reach way back in the shelf. I realize some store clerks don’t like this, one pointed out there is no difference in reaching way back. The stores usually keep the earlier expiration dates in front, so I reached to the back of the shelf anyway.
These deals won’t last. Last year I waited until after Thanksgiving, thinking the low prices would continue. But I found out that inventory gets really low after Thanksgiving, and prices go back to normal levels. This time, I am not waiting around. If I had more space, I’d have picked up more.
