Besides prices, it's the old and rotten food we are getting in our grocery stores, so vegetables are better bought frozen or canned. Yes, food prepare takes time and such for us all.
❤🎉Happy Birthday to you Kevin!!! I hope you had a blessed day. Prayers for kitty and prayers for you both. I keep you both in my daily prayers. It’s been a tough four months for me. I can sense things haven’t been easy there either. Bless you both.
Our minister's sermon today was on fruits of the spirit and patience was the highlight. I know that I needed to hear it! I find myself talking about the cost of things😊
Happy Birthday! I hope you enjoyed your day. Prices here in New Brunswick are crazy on everything. I feel blessed to have food, a place to sleep and enough to get by. Blessings to you and Michelle
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEVIN! thank you and Michelle so much for the time and effort you set aside for these videos. It is a joy to see how life in Canada compares to life here. Praise God for giving us energy to accomplish all we can each day. :)
What I need the most is easy to prepare meals that are healthy and affordable. We're doing it but meal prep and clean up takes a lot of time and energy. It helps some to cook family size meals and freeze the leftovers.
Happy Birthday Kevin 🎉. Prices r high wherever u r, but if we can still buy groceries we r all Blessed no matter how we r struggling. Love n hugs to u n Michelle n kitty 😊🥰🤗🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hi from PEI Canada,u have a great channel,yes the prices are completely gone nuts,hubby and I both work seasonal so we try to stock up a little bit,where we can,
Hope you had a wonderful birthday. Can't wait to see your pantry tour. I love those. I think everyone is finding it hard. I know we had to increase our grocery budget twice in the last year in half. We are three adults and I try to keep it at 500.00 Canadian a month. This month we are way over because of a Costco haul those always cost more and the sales on Hamburg and chicken breast. I like to get enough for at least three to five months. That way when there is a good sale that is when we buy it. I really don't know how anyone can pay full price for meat. It's just out of our reach at that price. This way we can still eat meat everyday or at least most days.
Happy 57th Birthday🎉 Wish I was 57 again. I'll be 71 next month and another Powerlifting Meet. I dont got time to get old. Inactivity is the enemy. So start moving. I lift Hard & Heavy. Live Long👍🏋🍻
Happy belated birthday!! 🎉 Hope you got a chance to rest at some point! As for the kitty in their later days they might benefit from there kibble soaked in chicken broth (msg free) in connection with the pate. My poor one was down to just broth and pate in the final days. But she was hydrated and well loved. I'm sure yours is perfectly spoiled in love as well 🤗
Kevin, my kitty likes to drink her water out of a plastic solo cup. She wasn't drinking a whole lot until I started pouring it into the cup. I just stabilized it so it doesn't fall all the time and she drinks her water happily. I still keep her water bowl cleaned and filled so she has two places in which to drink her water. I have been giving mine only one of the wet packets in the evening and I keep her dry food filled continually. She gets treats as well every day, and occasionally, cat nip. Maybe a little cat nip would make your kitty feel better.
Happy Birthday! 🎉🎉🎉 I have a plot in a community garden and frankly I don’t know how I could manage without my garden. Prayers that we all get a break, soon. I meal prep on Saturday morning (it takes several hours) and then again on Wednesday. I make ingredients that I can mix and match. If I make a casserole, I try to freeze half for another week (helps with the meal fatigue)
Happy Birthday 🎉 and yes, you all pay more in food prices. I will be 57 in October to bad we didn't live closer you and michelle and my hubby and I my become good friend's ♥️
Happy (belated) Birthday, Kevin! I'm sorry to hear thay Miss Twopea is having problems. Maybe her thyroid med needs to be adjusted. Good luck with the squash plant! ❤ and 🙏
Laughing as you take about time consuming cooking as while I read this I have bread doing it's second rise, tray of cupcakes, cooling, and a tray of butter shortbread for fingers and a second tray of butter shortcake for millionaire short bread. I have plans to make a batch of pasta to make lasagne some for tonight rest for freezer and I forgot the traditional scotch broth already in instant pot for lunch along with the wholemeal bread tomorrow. I've literally spent the entire morning from 7.30 this morning. Things are the same here in Scotland rising almost daily I'm so grateful that I'm able to cook from scratch as I general batch cook and freeze. Like yourself we have an elderly tom cat he's a 19years old Ginger Tom who fortunately is healthy. Belated birthday wishes prayer for your family. Love from Bonnie Scotland my friend
Happy Birthday to you. You are not going to believe this but my Kevin and you share the same date only he is much older. lol. I hope it was a beautiful and blessed day.
Happy belated birthday! Hope you had a great day! I like your attitude about your age & only going backwards if you could take certain things with you. I feel the same - I wouldn't go back, there are some things I would do differently but I also wouldn't be where & who I am if I had. I enjoy being in my 50s - though (like you I'm 57) - it's hard to believe that 60 is so close - definitely don't feel anywhere near to that! Blessings to you all!!
Happy Birthday Kevin! 🎂🎈🎊 I love your videos. I agree about the prices of food. Here in the United States a lot of people are struggling because of the prices. The only thing that seems to be going down is the price of gas for the cars. Have a great week. 😊
Prices are climbing EVERY TIME we go to the store. We make sure that we hit every sale. Again, you have to understand that working families have high healthcare costs; it is the biggest reason for foreclosures and bankruptcies. I was just told that neither my PAID FOR insurance, and the Medicare that is TAKEN OUT of Social Security, will cover whatever they did for me in the recovery room after a procedure,(which I have to also pay partially for). I have no idea what or why; they did nothing really for me, I just laid there and was not allowed to leave, so what? I had given up buying eggs as I have beef, but hit a special sale and grabbed 43 dozen. Potatoes have been very high; zucchini and squash never went down all summer, which is very odd. I bet it goes sky-high this winter. Happy Birthday to you,Kevin. God bless you. Prayers always for y ou both.Please remember us,as there is so much going on in my family. Thank you. ♥
Happy birthday Kevin! 🥳🥳 It was my birthday recently as well and I had a good friend make me my birthday cake for me so I didn’t have too as I need gluten free. I was just about to start baking with my youngest son when she knocked on the door. I hope you enjoyed your cake. 🎂
At one point, my adult son and I worked in different buildings on campus. As soon as we both got in and settled, I'd call him up, "What do you want for dinner?" "I just got here." "I know, but I'll be thinking about it all day if I don't settle on something now." Yes. Making food takes up a lot of thought and time. 😄 Can you make two batch meals at once? Or even three? That way you can have #1, then #2, then #1 again, etc., without eating the same thing every day. As much as I enjoy my own cooking, I still have to switch things out sometimes and it's nice to have something already prepared. Happy Birthday! 🎂
Good haul! Happy birthday to that nice person! Lol always good hearing from you both! Prayers for kitty! Been nearly a yr, since my 16 yr old cat passed with hyper thyroid! Miss him still! But have a sweet dog now! Take care, God bless us all! ❤❤
I spent less where I live in Quebec at one of the traditional store this weekend but must admit I had less processed food and more great local veggies and fruit . Check the ingredients on those pillsbury items u will be surprised . I am lactose intolerant so I eat lactose free yogurt, butter, sour cream, cheese and milk.
There is nothing surprising. Every thing in the store is compromised in some way. Unless food is completely home grown no one is escaping what’s in or done to the food. Lactose free products do not stop symptoms for Michelle.
@@thehomemakerhusband sorry the lactose free products don’t help her. Her case must be worse than mine. I do grow many veggies in the summer as well as various berries and buy locally grown veggies and fruit I don’t grow so that helps. I also have several friends and family that grow large gardens and share their bounty with me so I try to either freeze or can or dry the stuff I get to use throughout our long winters. I don’t buy any processed food as I try to make most everything from scratch. I try to only use maple syrup or honey that a relative gives me from his bees so that helps ensure I am getting pure honey. The flour I buy is from Italy where they don’t use the pesticides we use in Canada. I noticed that when I travelled in Europe I would not have the same issues with bloating etc as I did here so I researched it and a lot of what we allow in North America in our foods is not allowed to be used in Europe. It’s unfortunate that manufacturers get away with it.
@@thehomemakerhusband yes it is a shame. I truly believe if we had more safeguards and restrictions on what manufacturers could put in food people would have fewer health issues associated with consuming toxic additives
As a Canadian, I can relate to the cost of groceries. You are in tough in the Maritimes. Pretty pricey. I'm on the prairies, which costs between Ontario and your prices. I hate to compare US and Canadian prices because we have universal healthcare in Canada. It skews everything out of proportion. From watching your videos, I find that you buy a LOT of convenience foods. I think you could lower your costs by googling low cost homemade copycats. But who am I to impose my values? I do find that it is worth my time to do so, because no one is paying this retiree to do anything else!
We make almost all our food from scratch. Because of working 50-60 hours a week, that’s when other stuff comes into play! We also do not show all of our grocery hauls either. You’re just getting a snapshot.
Happy Birthday! We live in Downtown Toronto Prices are outrageous our cat eats $167 (wet dry vet food needed to keep her off of medication) a month our Dog $181 (Bassett hound with a protein allergy also needs vet food because of her allergy). For us we are eating $140 a week for two adults we don't have snacks other then some air popped popcorn on the weekends and never buy drinks like pop or drink mixes something like $2.50 on a drink mix can buy you a pound of dried beans which is the protein you need. We try to get a frozen pizza on sale as a treat once a month but other then that we now make everything from scratch which takes so much time too. Eggs, dried beans, tofu and potatoes are really good affordable options still and the summer was nice because produce was much cheaper like lettuce etc. Consider dropping all the processed food you have there for a bag of flour cheese is a treat for us. You can make tofu into a vegan bacon using just some soy sauce and maple syrup it's better for your heart and wallet! Toilet paper, cleaning products, cat litter, doggie bags and personal products which also have gone up in price. Toronto provides free sunscreen dispensers on all of our beaches and this year I took the city up on this and tried to make one bottle of sun screen last all summer. If we were to go over $140 a week on groceries we would not be able to meet our Savings goals for our portfolios for retirement. It's rough. We both make above average income for downtown Toronto and own our home and it's still rough.
Happy Birthday 🎂🎉🎈 I find as I get Older That each day is a Gift From God
🎶🎶🎁Happy Birthday Kevin!🎂🎶🎶
I pray things get easier for all of us❤
Happy birthday. May God Bless you.
