    The “complete” pancake mixes can make some sense for people without a stable living condition because they are shelf stable and just require water. I sometimes buy them and donate them to local food shelves.

      Flour and milk are pretty much shelf stable if stored right, the only thing that isn’t are eggs and those last a month or so.

        Milk is shelf stable? Maybe some sort milk can be, but not the type that people typically buy. I’ve stopped buying it entirely unless we have a specific recipe because it tends to go bad so quickly.
