I'm inspired to try this for next February ❤❤
Start planning now. Figuring out what your love, and planting accordingly, makes all the difference. Having animals sure helps too! Let us know how we can help. It's a great challenge! Cheers!
Salt and Pepper, Butter 👍👍 milk 🥛 is definitely something I would have hard time doing without. 2 weeks without buying any food is amazing.
Salt and pepper is allowed. Milk is tough! That might be my only expense this month! We'll see how far we go. Cheers!
Great job guys! Nothing like homegrown chicken and beef! The best!
Nothing better than homegrown anything!! So much flavor. Have a great week Lisa!
Great job guys the halfway point is almost here. We took a slightly different approach to some things this year but it really makes you think and what we learned last year has helped a lot with planning this year
It'll be fun to watch your progress and the thoughts you have to share. You all do such a great job of canning and preserving that I doubt you'll have any issues. Have a great week!
Nice job If everyone ate like this all year, we’d be so much healthier.
I was so sick the beginning of Feb I didn’t video anything. Looking forward to more updates
Absolutely! We're definitely getting more veggies!! I hope you're better Lisa. Take care!
That’s awesome!!! Better tasting food AND no money spent on groceries! Can’t beat that!! 😊👍❤️
You are correct on both accounts! It is amazing that we're still living on produce from 2022! Cheers Tammy!
Have an awesome day.
Thanks for stopping by Dave! Have a great week!
Sounds like it is going well!
We did spend money upfront this year. Our month has been so busy with farm work that we knew time was limited. Inside of grinding our wheat this year we bought flour. We also bought a “luxury” vegetable item….. I grew a lot of these but they were all gone. 🤔
Take care.
Sometimes you just need to spend to make the month work. We will see if we can go all month just on what we have canned, preserved, etc. I hope you'll do a mid-month update so we can see your progress. Cheers Annette & Glen!
Goodness Holly. I love squash. Thank you.
I know. I can't understand why she doesn't like squash. The bright side? More squash for me!!!!
Just not something I've enjoyed, other than maybe pumpkin cheesecake!
@@hollyshannon5487 Mom made squash pie. Similar to pumpkin pie.
My Mrs called it cat poop pie.
Great job you guys! To spend nothing is perfect!!!!! Amazing!! We didn’t do it this year, but we are still eating squash from the garden and enjoying all the preserved veggies.
I'm trying to enjoy as much squash as I can. I love 'em. Holly, not so much! Thanks for stopping by to watch!!
I'm here from your ham playlist. I use the term "as self-sufficient as we can be." Just my wife and I grow all our veges on a close to 3000 s/f garden (about 25 kinds not including varieties). We have chickens for eggs and some eventual meat. Buy local grass-fed beef (a half every other year), a local pig (pork) and organic raw milk from the farm around the corner ($4/g.) Wife shops very little for food and she makes all kinds of things herself (soaps, shampoo/conditioner bars, laundry detergent, toothpaste, cheese, infusions, salves and more). One of my major parts in the game is cutting all our wood (heat) from taking trees down, limbing, winching, bucking, stacking etc. Thankfully all available on our property. Earliest seedlings already started indoors. (We're inland Maine). It's a lifestyle of work, but we feel blessed.
You're doing a great job of being self sufficient! I need to find a source of milk. We've got the pork, beef and chicken source. I need to look into cheese and other things. Thanks for stopping by! Cheers!
Way to go Rich and Holly! Congrats on all y’all’s hard work! Looks like y’all have learned quite a bit from the last year-lacy 🤓
We thought we'd be further along but the storm really knocked us for a loop. Thank God we had filled the pantry so well in 2022! That has saved us! Thanks for stopping by!
My hats off to you both, couldn't do it myself!! Sounds like things have been tasty though!! Congrats on the success again this year!! Cheers Mr Rich and Mrs Holly !! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
I bet you could do OK with this challenge. Thanks for your support (as always) and cheers to you and your family. Take care Nelson!
I've spent $12 on cream so far...not too bad. Your menu sounds delish!
Milk is the toughest for me. I know that was a good chunk of our money spent last year. You're doing great Sarah! Keep us posted!!
This year is flying isn't it! Wow that's so amazing that you haven't spent money! What the heck how cool ❤
Mid-February?! It really is going fast. We're amazed at how well this is working. We know our routine now. Thanks for stopping by!! Cheers!
Doing just fine despite Alex making that Alfredo the other day. I’ll have some in March. I did spend $6 on celery and fresh mushrooms the other day.
If that's all you need, you're doing great! Get ready for Alfredo on March 1st!! Keep us posted on how you're doing. Cheers Jen!
That's amazing! $0.00 Expenses up to now!! Hope to be able to do the same one day!😊❤
I hope you'll join us next year. Keep track of what you spend this year in February. Grow a lot of produce this summer and see if you can cut your February bill in half next year. Cheers Juani!
It sounds like a plan 😊❤
Sounds like fun! How about baking bread with your own grains, maybe next year? 🍞
Not sure we'll get into growing grains. We don't have enough room. Maybe find a place to trade eggs for grains! Cheers!
