AlaskaGranny is all about simplifying, prepping for the future, and sticking to your budget. Living a life of deep resourcefulness, she loves a good Dollar Tree stockpile as much as any other person. But she has some pretty unique tips on creating a Dollar Tree prepping strategy that works well for your family, and her tips are all based on personal experience.

When it comes to things to stockpile at Dollar Tree, AlaskaGranny says the key is to look for what she calls, forever foods. Forever foods are any items that are long-lasting, often with a shelf life of 30 years or longer, and can easily be turned into nutritious meals for decades to come without a lot of effort.


Forever foods include whole foods like beans, rice, pasta, and oats. Plus, any prepper pantry needs items like baking soda, vinegar, and pure vanilla extract. However, she says to skip the honey, maple syrup, and imitation vanilla a Dollar Tree because it’s not pure and won’t last forever.


Other Dollar Tree preps AlaskaGranny recommends include perusing the aisles and seeing what long-lasting items your Dollar Tree has on hand. Stocking up on items like sugar, salt, and quinoa, when you can find it, is always a good idea.

Once you make your purchases, it’s time to make these items last even longer. And AlaskaGranny says that the best way to do this is to transfer everything into airtight containers. From repurposed plastic containers to glass jars with sealable lids, you have several options for free and affordable long-term food storage in your prepper's pantry.

    It’s too bad that everything recommended to stockpile are carbohydrates, as a diabetic I seldom eat carbs.

    I've never seen Quinoa at a Dollar Tree. What Dollar Tree do these people shop at.
