Never a dull moment for sure, and thank you for the kind words!! Always learning, always busy. 🙌🏻

It’s almost impossible to sneak in the kitchen without them! Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching, and the kind words! Hope to see you back soon!

That’s an awesome suggestion for most of the magazines that I read, although I definitely like Backwoods and Self-Reliance in print. There’s just too much info that I need to reference and keep for a “rainy day” in those 2 specifically! Thanks for sharing, and thanks for watching. I hope to see you back soon!

So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! 💖

Hand sealers are for dry goods only. Canning meals must be actually water bath canned or pressure canned.

Yes, the hand sealer isn’t suitable for all situations, particularly raw meat. Thanks for watching!

I actually have a series of videos on this machine showing and discussing my cleaning routine. It was above and beyond what the company stated was necessary. This is a design flaw, not a lack of care.

@@candacedavis5291 I can get months out of them normally, but somehow I’ve already used 2 entire strings of them. 🫣 It is a cooler space, but the idea is dark and cool. If you see that they’re getting close to the end, slice/chop and freeze them up. It’s an awesome meal prep at that point!

You’re welcome! Maybe someone will chime in with a local store, but I would suggest possibly contacting a wholesaler and asking where they send their damaged boxes. Maybe they could point you in the right direction.

They are awesome! We used them the other night and it made for a super quick and delicious dinner.

That’s a great idea, but with this being such a large box, I wouldn’t have had room to process that very well. We’ve just been putting them in that refrigerator and then they thaw to perfection by the morning. Thanks for watching!

@@SmokyMtn_homestead_dreamer amazing!!! My work here is done! 🙌🏻😆 And welcome! Hope to see you back soon!!

Just because a person tries to stretch their pennies doesn’t means their poor. Just because people have nice things doesn’t mean they’re well off and living fancy.

Hey Chelsea, thanks for watching, and I’ll take your criticism as a compliment! We work hard to have nice things, but I’m a hardcore bargain shopper. Hopefully you found some helpful tips while you were here, and I hope to see you back again soon.

@ why would I need to come back and watch a wealthy lady make money on RUclips off of pretending to be poor like me, a disabled senior on Social Security that gets $23 a month food stamps. And frankly, nothing on your channel is new. All of this stuff I learned growing up in the 60s and 70s from my mom who struggled to put food on our table. But I guarantee you that if my mom and her friends had seen you at the grocery store, trying to undercut them and buy those boxes of food from the back of the store that we used to get which was the only way we had food on the table, Well… Let’s put it this way, you would’ve needed to buy yourself a wig. There’s no way that my mom and her friends would have ever encountered a wealthy woman buying up boxes of food for pennies on the dollar to hoard in her fancy fake farmhouse luxury kitchen while smirking over her vacuum sealer as she squirrels away food that belongs in the mouths of hungry children in her region. The only thing I’ve learned from your channel sweetheart is that wealthy people these days have absolutely no conscience.

@ oh so you mean her advice to us is “come on seniors and poor folks try to beat me to the $7 boxes of meat patties if you can & if not starve to death after wasting your gas money, Nanana Nana Nana.” I get it now.

@@chelsea_1961 no. Quite the contrary. I’m a senior living on a very tight budget. I am always getting great money saving ideas from her channel to help me stretch my dollars. I suppose it’s all a matter of perspective and attitude, which yours seems like it could use an adjustment. But that’s ok. Because every time you comment it helps her algorithm, so there’s that. I bet she appreciates your helping support her lavish lifestyle. 😉

@@dianamilburn1743 you’re going to love it!

I agree. I’ve looked and can’t find any near me

I initially found this one through word on mouth. I would consider calling a local grocery supplier to restaurants and ask where their damaged and broken goods go and see if that might spark a lead. Other than that, I’d check FB and see if you can find any discount grocers in your area.

@@thehometownhomestead we have big lots. They sell non perishables. But not frozen items. That was a fantastic deal on the sausages.

@ yes! That was a major score, and so were the Steak Eze.

Yes.

It is the Pampered Chef original version of the instant pot. Now they don’t even sell it anymore, but offer an upgraded version. I got it on a screaming sale, but wouldn’t recommend it at full price. If I were to replace, I’d just buy the IP that I have in the links. This one is nice, but not worth the retail price. If you’re looking for one similar though, FB marketplace is a decent place to fine them!

Thank you so much! You will LOVE my upload this Sunday if you like budget grocery hauls. I scored some crazy deals!

@@dawnamama it can be a pain. People definitely need to know it’s there, and how to clean it!

You’re so welcome!! Thank you for watching and the Super! Best of luck with your laundry room!

@@paulatitus3197 the one is in description is the one I’d buy today. Mine is no longer made. It’s the older version of the Pampered Chef IP. The new one is nice, but the price makes it not worth it, IMO. If you’re wanting a new pot, I’d just grab the InstaPot. Option 2, check FB marketplace! Sometimes you can score some gems there:

You are so welcome! Enjoy!

@@The-Friendly-Grizzly that’s awesome. Read deeper into the comments and you’ll see repairmen that have had the opposite experience, so hopefully yours works well. Several of my friends had struggled also, but hopefully the have fixed the issue at this point.

@@thehometownhomestead I don't have one and never will as I have no use for such a thing. I had the latest conventional offering from GE (separate washer and dryer) and sent them back due to very early failure and strange screeching noises from within the washer. The only thing available was Samsung at the time so, fingers are crossed. So far, so good. My brand of choice is LG.

@ my guy said Samsung never last more than 5 years, so good luck. We tried a range and fridge. They both died at the end of year 5 also. Hopefully you have better luck!

@@thehometownhomestead I will be moving out of this place within the next year and the appliances will be sold in place. Now, with all the shortages behind us for the most part, I can be far more selective. Many years ago I was in a rented townhouse that had a complete suite of higher-end Samsung appliances. One by one they "went bang". I know better; I just had to take what was on offer at the time.

@@welcome_home_usa not everyone lives in an area where they can have a backyard compost heap.

@@Loveofdecorating thank you for the kind words, and thank you for watching! Hope to see you back soon!

@@ssrrocks22 I agree. I think they’ll be awesome in 10 years.

@thehometownhomestead : These machines are not that new. Back in the late 60s to early 70s, GE built a washer/dryer similar to what is on the market now. Unfortunately, that one didn't last either. The idea is there but I think you are right it needs a lot more work.

Thanks, Val! Happy Thanksgiving!

Same to you Rita! Hoping you have a blessed holiday!

I’ll work on that and get it for you shortly!

Here is the correct link. It's delicious! sosrecipes.com/chicken-pasta-recipes/

@@thehometownhomestead Thank you ever so much for the correction. I will definitely try this recipe ❤️

Same to you, and thank you for always watching!

Thank you, and thanks for watching!
