      Over 70% of all worker will take sick leave of more than 1 month and 50% will take 6 months due to illness. I sure pregnancy is included but if the number excluded pregnancy’s it would probably still be 20-33% meaning 1 in 5 or 1 in 3. Having emergency cash and food on hand just makes sense, common sense.

    I understand where you are coming from, right now I am struggling financially but if something was to happen, like losing my job or other price jumps I don’t have to worry because I have a good pantry. If for no other reason we should have a pantry because it saves money. I have soups in my pantry that cost 60 cents. We may never see those prices again. Even though I am poor slowly but sure I put stuff up, not just my house but my family’s houses too. I have a garden nowadays and am eating like a king for free. In my humble opinion having a pantry is a life skill.

    My parents were depression era babies. I was their mid-life crisis. Haha They had me in their 40s. So basically my parents were the same age as my friend’s grandparents. Now looking back I’m thankful. We had a food room growing up. It was a rule that the door always had to be shut. My parents grew up with so little that they never wanted others to see what we had as a surplus. When they were kids, people would steal food.
    My parents taught me how to garden and can. My husband accepted my “addiction” (as he called it)to canning and referred to it as my hobby. When 2020 came around and we didn’t have to go to the grocery store he finally saw why I did what I did. He now buys me canning jars and asks if I have what we need for the garden. When I tell him there’s a big bag of sugar or flour that needs to be brought in, he doesn’t ask why I bought so much. It might take a while for it to click but when it clicks they will understand and be thankful.

    Having a well stocked pantry gives me great peace. My life operates so much easier with a well stocked pantry. We lost power for 4 days one winter. Being prepared with a pantry, generator, firewood and propane means we were well fed, we had lights, fridge and internet, we were warm and could cook.
    We have a large garden. It is a blessing. I can, freeze or dehydrate the bounty my husband grows. I know whats in my food. I know how it was grown. No bioengineering or preservatives in our food.
    Keep doing what you’re doing. Its appreciated.

Now that I'm married with a family of my own, I continue to keep a well-stocked pantry/home. With God's grace and a well-stocked home, we didn't have to do any kind of panic buying during the pandemic, and we don't have to run to the crowded store when the weather folks talk about an impending snow storm. Keep up the good work!

I always look at the ads and get stuff on sale and I love when they do bogo on meats. I showed my ex's wife how to shop this way and she does it to! Saves us all a bunch at both houses. So ignore those people. You are amazing and do not think any different!

    When I was first married, we had a terrible crisis in our life which did leave me fearful of where my next meal was coming from to feed our family. So I did this, If I had $20 extra dollars or was blessed with a monetary gift I would buy $20 dollars of something to fill my pantry. I started with canned meats and fish, then added veggies and so on. It took almost 8 months but we had a growing pantry and I could relax for a minute. This changed my way of shopping for life. It was an amazing lesson. I love that you let us know the sale cycles as well. You have been a great help to many families. Thank you ❤

    Heck, when the covid shutdown hit, we all wished we had extra toilet paper etc. And if I do stock my kitchen out of fear (or common sense) it doesn’t matter to me if I appear over-prepared. I’m an older viewer and keep my pantry pretty full and I don’t need to run out for an ingredient at any point in time because if I don’t have something on hand, I’m substituting anyway. 🤷🏻‍♀️ No, I’m not fearful when someone is giving me excellent information the way you do!

    Before following you - your RUclips channel, I wanted to at least keep a 6 months food storage but we were walking into the grocery store 3-4 times a week. Since following your suggestions we have a basic pantry, a 6 month and a long-term food storage. When COV** hit, I felt overwhelmed (we live on an island and everything must be shipped in. Shortage means it could be 2 -3 months before seeing something.) My husband had me sit down and figure out how long we could go without shopping. Several hours later, I realized we had at least 3 months worth of staples. We had much more food and planned menus than I could have imagined. Throughout COV** we continued to shop smart and study trends, when the news announced rice and flour shortages we were able to plan that into our budget and stock up before the price hikes and product shortages happened. I can see why people feel scared, or feel like you are scaring them into action, I've been there. But I am grateful for all the tips and tricks, that you have helped me prepare my home. Thank you!

    I personally have loved your channel since I came across it. As far as shortages go, I spoke about this with friends. One of them made the remark, I'll just go to your house. Wrong! They have the same 24 hours in the day that I have. In fact, I feel they have somewhat of an advantage, they have two incomes coming in. We have one since we homeschool and my children are very young. I meal plan, we do not go out to eat, we have done away with vacations and use that money towards our garden and stocking up when we can. Like you, I try to shop sales and pick up two or three extras when I can. I have never felt fear, if anything it has made me pay more attention to prices etc. Thank you for helping me help my family.

    I enjoyed seeing a peek of your teenagers, grocery hauls, and especially your idea to make the food drive contribution a fun contest for the family. There are so many great reasons to stock up our food and toiletry supplies. and the best reason is to take advantage of good sales/coupons. Prices will continue to rise, so stocking up when the most money can be saved is winning. Food security for our families is priceless.

Now, I’ll be honest, I don’t have quite the stockpile Kimmy does, but I have a pretty good pantry. Why is it important??? Because last December I was living my life, and out of nowhere I was in a car accident and then in the hospital from an infection due to that accident for a month. I was out of work for three months with literally nothing coming in…..no money. Took me three months to get my short term disability. But, I had my pantry and made it through. I will always be a firm believer in a good pantry. Always!!!

Many of my families frugal ways were ingrained into me - so that now as my hubby & I live on a retirement income (2 for hubby & 1 for me) I still use the frugal ways to keep our budget in line, cook well for us & still enjoy life (some eating out, trips,...) Being frugal is not a disgraceful things, its being a good stewart of what we have.

    I have never felt that you instilled fear into anyone. Emergency preparedness is such a good idea and I appreciate how you try to encourage people to just be prepared should there ever be an emergency. I can remember in my own life when my husband was out of work for about four months. It was then that we started thinking about our enormous debt. We never went without and all our bills were met - only by God's grace! We are now debt free and are putting back for that time when it might be needed most. I'm even learning to can in the event of losing electricity. I rely on my freezer and and second fridge for a lot of stuff! I wanted to do a garden, but I admit that at 65, I wasn't sure I would be able to keep up with it and it was really hot here in Texas this year. I do wish our stores had the sales/bulk sales that yours do. So, I'm trying to do what I can. I look forward to your next video - I think "raw" is not a bad thing if one takes it with the right attitude. So bring it on! Thanks for all your videos.

It’s unfortunate that someone would try to create such a narrative…..you’ve learned helpful skills and are willing to share what you’ve learned with this community. I was raised by my grandparents and always knew about the importance of stockpiling and being prepared…that’s not fear, that’s working a reasonable system that maintains you and your family through all times in life. Thank you for being a blessing❤

    I've watched you for a long time, and you have never instilled fear to your viewers! You have taught me so much over the years. We live in a rural environment and don't have a grocery store right around the corner. I LOVE having back stock of the items I use all the time! No matter what, bad weather, illness, unexpected guests, I'm always prepared to prepare a meal without having to go to the store! Thank you for everything you have taught me!❤

    Since i had my own apartment at 17 in college ,i have always stocked up on food and everything else. I had like 3 jobs and brought a little more and only went to the store when i went to work. Sickness or an weather emergency can put you in a tight spot when you have no food in the house. This time of year is the time to stock up on turkeys, hams, baked goods, etc.

    Been following you for a long time. I was a grocery store shopper every day or so. I now have created over time a pantry I am thankful and proud of. I shop the sales, stock up as I can. Thank you for your knowledge and suggestions. I now bake all our bread products. It is such an amazing feeling to shop knowing what I have at home and do not need to buy anymore.

    Like you said, have a back up plan. When I was unable to go to the store and my kids were working, all I had to do was go to my pantry or freezer, and I was on a walker and get what I needed. They didn’t have to worry about my meals. I’m retired CNA.

    As someone who has a storm stash I keep all year because we have had power outages for 2 and 3 days just because of thunderstorms dropping branches on power lines it's just smart to be stocked up.
    It's better to be ready for what ever may happen than end up panic shopping just as somethings going down.

    Started watching you a few years ago and your the reason I started my long term pantry. I can’t tell you how many trips back to the store it has saved me. It saves money in the long run. I’m not doing this out of fear nor did you put that notion in your videos. It’s called being prepared. There is a difference. Thanks for all you do to teach us how to shop better and save money for our families.

    I am so grateful for your videos. Since we moved over to Bear Lake area it is a minimum of 25 minutes to get to the closest store. It isn’t even a large store with fully stocked shelves. It is an hour to Cache Valley to shop. Sometimes the weather is not good enough for us to go through the canyon. I am grateful for fully stocked shelves and never once did you imply a fear factor in your videos. You just encourage smart shopping. ❤️

    I have watched you for several years. You give good advice about keeping a stocked pantry. There have been times the past year when I didn't have it in me to go grocery shopping because I was dealing with mental illness - having a stocked pantry meant my family could be fed when I couldn't do it. Keep sharing your wisdom.

  • @karenchandler8325
    @karenchandler8325 5 месяцев назад

    I grew up with grandparents, parents, extended family, neighbors and church leaders all having and encouraging food storage and self sufficiency. I have had my own storage for years and constantly work on it. I don't do it from fear, but rather because it's wise. Old timers used root cellars. The principle of setting aside during abundance is pretty old. I've gone through lots, as we all do from time to time, and been grateful to know I had what I needed in my basement. You are not spreading fear. You are sharing your way of life and I have been grateful for the things I've learned. Bless you and your family! ❤❤

    I only shop enough for 2 weeks at a time. Limited fixed income, and YES, sometimes, I've had to choose between food and my medications. So BRAVO to the person who called you out. HOW can you afford to buy so much food at once when the rest of us cannot?! Do what my uncle says to do (Marines 2x in Vietnam by the way), MAN UP! And do what you're supposed to do in our stores - 1 or 2 of each item on te floor. NOT the whole store.

    The pantry stocking videos are my favorite! I've always stocked up, but your videos made the process more functional, even with home canning; if I make chili every 3 weeks I need at least 17 jars of tomatoes just for chili. I realized that I had only gone to the store once in the past 2 weeks and I'm a stop at the store everyday person, I had everything I needed here to just keep making meals. So much money saved.
    Also, in western Canada there is a strike at the sugar factory, I'm reading that there is no sugar to found anywhere and it made the prices jump in Ontario. Having a little extra, bought on sale would have helped a lot if people

    While I know you aren’t trying to come across as trying to scare ppl into buying food, I had to stop watching your videos for awhile because it was putting me in a panic mode of trying to make sure I had food stocked.

    People really need to get in on these holiday sales. If you can get cheap turkeys, do so. Folks some times forget that turkey can be used in place of chicken in many many recipes. You can also make a ton of turkey broth to can or freeze. This is such a great time to stock up!!
