Hi /ck/ I'm a prepper and a bulk purchase cheap bastard.What are some good canned products in flavor?Also ask me anything and share your prepper, cheap bastard, and bulk purchase stories.
>>20940103This year I got some free deer meat. I'm considering wild pig meat, it's invasive and free near here.Learned how to make my own sausages and cure meat this year.
I purchased a 50 lb bag of cus cus.Dirt cheapI cook it, add flour and run it through a pasta maker.Make raviolis, flavored noodles, wonton wrappers, lasagna sheets.
>>20940103you can useally find alaskan samon canned for pretty cheep and it tastes really good, it seems to retain its flavour too.
>>20940176NiceI like fish cakes and salmon spread
Food service size cans of roasted red pepper is cheap enough. Goes on sandwiches, can be stuffed, melt some cheese on em.
>>20940103beets
>>20940376I do love dates, I grow them so I have them whenever.
>>20940435*BeetsWhat thick thumbed abomination I typed that autocorrected into dates I'm not Shure
I couldn't find enough people to split the cost of buying half a cow direct from a local farm this year. So when I take my elderly parent to the store every week I buy up most of the 50% off meat. It costs about the same at half price as the bulk price would have been.
>>20940103is this fucking nutraloaf
>>20940637Roasted Pumpkin quick bread with hemp seeds and nuts.
Due to some weirdness, Safeway have me the ability to buy boxes of Kellogg's Extra for 50¢ each. They're expensive as fuck, $8 at most stores, $11 at Safeway but they were on sale 50% off one week and I happened to have a $5 off unlimited use coupon in my Just4U that same week so $11 ÷ 2 = $5.50 - $5 = 50¢.I bought every single box at my local Safeway, 14 total, and gave most to a local food pantry meant for people with disabilities.Does that count? If not, we recently bought 10lbs of carrots for $3.39.
>>20940103I've been thinking of doing a animal rescue called " the last 2 years"Where I rescue horses, pigs, and cows Get them healthy again, give them the best 2 years of their life. Then slaughter, butcher, and process them to give free meat to the community and myself.
>>20941371Being technically a rescue I wonder what charity tax shenanigans could save me resource money.Can I write off feed cost? Take donations for vet cost and dewormers?
>>20941390>Can I write off feed cost? Take donations for vet cost and dewormers?Yes and yes.I do some volunteer work with a charity. When I lived in a state with sales tax, we'd go to a retail store to actually buy things from time to time. We'd hand the cashier a charity ID form, the manager comes by and does a price adjustment to remove sales tax, so there's that, but whoever does the books then takes the receipts from the purchases so I'm sure they do write them off, as well, yes.
>>20940103Squirrels
>>20940103Cheap bastard tip of the day:Plant native fruit and nut trees in your local park and harvest.In my local park I have cattails, native persimmon, pawpaw trees, pecans, elderberry, Jerusalem artichoke, muscadine grapes, blackberries, arrowroot, and innoculated deadwood with lionsmane mushroom.Low effort, and in time more grows than you can eat. The excess falling attracts meat animals and improves the ecosystem.
>>20940103Closet meat rabbit farm? I've got a closet I don't use and I've been thinking of it. Low cost meat that can eat yard clippings and kitchen scraps almost exclusively ( I've just got to get more clover growing)Maybe I will get fur rabbits so I can sell the skins online. I know how to do brain tanning.
>>20941439Starlings, pigeon , pigs all are a invasive species and yummy. The grey squirrel are getting fat for winter and their chubbies give me too much joy to hunt them.Also it's roadkill season for deer so I might have a full freezer anyway if I see a clear eyed fresh kill.
>>20940108Wild pig is fucking riddled with parasites, so make sure you know what you are doing or you get brain worms and end up like RFK junior.
>>20941578So are fish. That's why they are cooked generally.
>>20941576>pigeons are an invasive speciesI mentioned this to someone years ago when I lived in Philadelphia and they said that the next area over from ours, Moyamensing, means "place full of pigeon shit" in nativespeak so they have to be native here. When I pointed out that it couldn't be remotely possible, they doubled down on the claim so I dropped it. Turns out, the original word, something like "mwimanimshink" or whatever, means "place full of cherry trees" which makes sense since that part of town had its own native soda at one point, Champ Cherry, which was discontinued despite being delicious.I guess peccaries don't count as wild pigs? Cuz those are native, even if old world pigs aren't.
>>20941721The two things could be related. Pidgeons are most definitely an introduced and now invasive species. It's not implausible that up till the 1500's it had been known as a place full of cherry trees. Then by 1700 when pidgeons were fucking everywhere it could have turned into a giant pidgeon colony who eat all the cherries and shit everywhere. I remember paddling across the water as a kid to this little island called cormorant island because from a distance it looked like white sands which I knew was out of place but seemed so mysterious. Turns out it's because the whole place was literally caked in cormorant shit.
>>20941750The native word literally means "place full of cherry trees" and makes no mention of pigeons. While there may very well have been a huge pigeon colony at one time, the etymology is still about cherries, not pigeons. Now, the area is mostly full of Cambodians, blacks and white trash.
>>20941762
>>20941867Exactly. It doesn't mean anything about pigeon shit.
>>20940103Something with low Bisphenol A content.
>>20941721>>20941750It was probably named after passenger pigeons. Which had massive flocks. And is native to NA
>>20942655Except, again, the word literally means "place with motherfuckin' cherry trees."
>>20943085I the spirit of the thread you might be interested to know the cherry in question might be the choke cherry or the black cherry native to the Americas. The cherry you buy at the store is not the same critter. Any forage is cheap bastard fare and they both make lovely fruit leather.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prunus_serotina
>>20940637Has anyone came up with a bachelor chow type thing? Cheap but healthy solid to consume?
>>20943606Some people are apparently buying monkey chow. Like bags of breeding mix chimp chow kibble for zoos.
