Yeah, but you need to be in a country and culture that even allows you to make that choice. Homeschooling is illegal where I live and a woman who is not working outside the home is a pariah. Also - people are brainwashed against this lifestyle..
@summerlake356I think you have that wrong & misunderstand the law. Disapproval is part of life. You will never have everyone’s approval. Parenting is priceless. Expecting strangers to socialize kids to have respect for other people is turning out to be an utter failure fo modern society. Anyone who cares about their kids actually raises their own kids.
@chelsea_1961 yeah well parents are threatened with prison and losing their kids here, if they do not send their kids to school. We literally have families in exile, in Finland, so they can homeschool. Being ostracised from society as a housewife is also more than a lot of women can cope with. If you have absolutely no local support, orher than online, abroad. I realise that your comment and the video is from a US perspective though, so maybe it was meaningless for me to partuipate in the discussion.

Im from Ireland and I have lived this way forever. Im in my 60s now and I must be doing the Amish way, without realising this is a sustainable way. That neighbourhood community is still around. We look out for each other. So if my neighbour is unwell, then we are all ready to help with food or whatever. I am blessed to live in a community that looks out for each other.
You do it Irish way, which is more acceptable to me. Amish are not people to copy. Didn't watch the whole video but wonder if anything about inbreeding and abuse will be mentioned.
That certainly is a blessing. Where I am in East Texas it’s all angry Trump supporters preaching hate & racism. If you are peace loving & accepting of immigrants & people of different backgrounds then they hate you too… so I am shunned for being a nice person. I’m intolerant of hateful ways. Rather be alone than listen to it. You are so lucky.
@@annaal7480bigotry isn’t something to copy & neither is bearing false witness against your brethren. Exaggerating gossip & isolated incidents that happen in all cultures is the way of hatefulness. Shame!
I do most of these things. And I have only I, me, and myself to feed. I live an isolated life in a very small dwelling. Bulk items will spoil before I can use them, plus I have virtually no storage. As for a home farm or home repair, I have medical conditions that prevent me from doing many of them. I’ve never bought items like paper napkins, towels, tissues. I do a lot of mending and remaking of worn out fabric items. I don’t own a dryer. I have foldable drying racks and can string clotheslines. I don’t spend a dime at the hair salon. Fortunately, my hair is very easy to cut and style, plus I look best in a simple bob. Just wet it, cut using a simple technique, comb, let air dry. I have a slight natural wave that falls naturally into place. If necessary, with a little help, I can live off grid. I don’t buy new stuff. I go to thrift stores, estate and yard sales, even occasional garbage picking. Be sure to take care of your stuff and it will last.
Wow, I am the same. Apart from isolation living. I live in a city in a 2-bedroom flat which doesn't have much storage. Therefore bulk buying and keeping preserves is not an option for me either. But I rarely throw food away - I simply do a hash or similar the next day.

I think everyone after they detox from gaming would be much happier living a simpler life. I had to work most of my adult life because I didn't have the skills to cook from scratch, no one taught me how to be frugal.. I wasted so much money buying office clothes, jewelry to keep up with the latest trends of co workers, I was in my 30's before we were able to buy a home and I started learning skills like gardening and canning, still worked till I was in my 50's before finally figuring out how to downsize our lifestyle and live a more simple life.

Another nonsense hateful stereotype by someone ignorant of what the are speaking against. As a senior isolated with no family/kids/friends & having pain& disability, gaming can be a wonderful community of virtual family & friends & meeting people all over the world. My years as guild master were some of my best years of my life. I learned about other cultures, teamwork, developed interpersonal skills, & spent a lot of time helping young people with their problems relating to olddd folks especially parents. I learned so much about the digital age we live in that I’m now one of the cool old folks the kids like to hang out with. I shared all kinds of cultural values & crafts of my own. The pain relief of getting my mind off my pain & being able to sit or lay still for hours when I had neuropathy flare ups was how I avoided opioids. The community was always supportive & had tons of advice & suggestions that led me to some big advances in my health. They nagged me into yoga & mindfulness practices that actually worked so well I am free now from my walker & wheelchair. I never thought that was possible. While there is a toxic bunch of gamers… usually males & mostly young guys, I became a person who provided moral support & verbally assistance to their victims & helped police our servers . A few of us stopped a girl from being criminally abused & assisted in her healing from it. And I mentored an autistic teen in a game for two years while she learned how to effectively socialize in the MMORPG & I made sure no one was exploiting her in the game. She eventually was able to move out from her parents, meet a boyfriend, got a job & got married. All things her parents were told she could never do because her grasp of human interactions was. It adequate. Gaming in virtual reality situations gave her that experience in a safe environment. She became able to recognize good from bad people & develop a sense of humor & so many other people skills she was confused about. I consider it an honor to have taught her how to navigate society & I cried when we had to part ways online. She was like my virtual daughter all grown up & leaving the nest. I don’t think I would be here if it wasn’t for gaming when I was forced to retire early & faced such physical & emotional struggles. Every day logging on with my online community greeting me & doing activities together, achieving goals, facing battles, dealing with losses & planning for our future adventures was a blessing to me. I would even talk to them while doing my housework even while my character was just sitting in the game doing nothing. They were the best friends I ever had who truly cared about me & I them. I had some friendships in game for 5 years. I had rivalries & fights & problems too. So being shut in at home from health problems was bearable & I never gave up. I had a reason to get up, stay active, lose weight, follow doctors orders & when surgeries came I was never bored or depressed. I never needed a shrink or anti depressants. You simply have no idea what you are talking about with regard to gaming. Not all gaming is negative.
Growing up in Bosnia we did so many things that Amish do. During war we even didn’t have electricity which we live fully like Amish. Even now I implement so many things that are in this video. ❤
Wonderful lessons on how to live sensibly and help save our planet. Perhaps we should go to Amish School for a year. It takes courage to live this way. But let’s do what we can do. Don’t forget the spiritual side. Love your neighbour and help each other. But Technology used sensibly is also a huge asset.
My German grandparents lived this way. I remember helping them in their garden and my 80 year old great granma who still worked hard . After harvesting prepping the vegetables for the cellar and the preserves and canning . They had their own pigs and chickens and got their milk fresh from a local dairy farmer. They used to take their churn over and get it filled daily and made their own cheese.
I bought a cheap Westbend double paddle bread maker from Amazon and I love it so much I bought another one that is still in the carton not opened because when this one finally gives up on me, I have another one. It makes a 3 pound loaf in one hour and 28 minutes on the quick bread setting that tastes as good as the long setting. I don’t know how many hundreds of loaves I’ve made now because this is my third year with it and it’s still going strong. I make at least one loaf per week. I had other bread makers before that were much more expensive or smaller and I was OK with them, but the super expensive one never really worked right and the cheap smaller one made a loaf that was an odd shape and tiny. This makes a standard looking loaf of bread. I now buy 25 to 50 pound sacks of bread flour from Amazon and I vacuum seal it and put it in 5 gallon plastic pails. I buy bricks of bulk yeast of the instant variety and just keep them in my refrigerator and put one in a quart jar so I always have one open and several of them stored in the back of the refrigerator. Recently, someone asked me how much an average loaf of bread cost me to make and compare it to the standard loaf of bread at the dollar store. She was getting the white or wheat bread at the dollar store for $2.65 per loaf and didn’t think I could beat that price.😂 after I dragged out the calculator and did all the calculations I am making a 3 pound loaf of bread for $1.45 and she’s buying a 1.25 pound loaf for $2.65. Of course my bread tastes wonderful and her bread taste like fluffy air nothing with a lot of chemicals. I’m using whole wheat or unbleached white whole wheat flour. If I switched to organic it does jack up the price to about $2.25 per loaf and that’s still 3 pounds not 1.25 pounds. And then when I did cross comparisons for cinnamon rolls and raisin bread and so forth as well as dump cakes.., where you just take a cake mix and dump all of the ingredients in the bread maker and put it on quick bread setting and you get a perfect loaf cake… you just can’t beat it! And if you’re that kind of person that has arthritis and you like to make your own homemade bread and you wanna bake it in your own oven and form dough in different ways and make fancy dough… You can still do all of that by just using your bread maker to knead and rise your dough so you don’t hurt your hands. I’ve had thumb reconstructions and carpal tunnel surgeries and I still have arthritis so it’s a blessing. I will never be without a bread maker for the rest of my life if I can possibly help it. ☮️✌🏼
Grew up this way .Waste not want not.Gathering together at my granmothers for Sunday family meals.Growing veg and fruit making butter bread.Istill do .
Excellent, comprehensive list of how to live frugally. The Amish do it all. We might do a few nowadays. In years past we did more of these because there was no competition by manufacturers to make life, what we thought, easier and easier, yet less content sometimes. I enjoyed this videos very much. I live in Amish country. If one goes up Amish, that’s fine, if not, growing up in the modern era makes it difficult to live quite like that because of competition. They probably save themselves in many other ways also, with less stress and living simply. Thanks for the video.
This is common sense that generations all over the world have being doing for decades (including myself), not just Amish. Which is why frugal people don't have debt, don't rely on credit and we live within our means.
Don't use plastic bottle though. I never pay for coffee or tea outside as I discover that the quality is not there. I use a travelling cup and make my own.
Obviously this dude doesn't live in holmes county, ohio. Amish capital. I live here and i know amish that eat out much more than i do. Lol My husband grew up Amish and we have lived here 25 years. Amish has changed so much in the last 25 years. Some don't even do gardens anymore. A lot of them have electricity from their generators and they use vacuums, washers, mixers, freeze dryers, and on and on. Ride around on electric bikes and golf carts. Have internet in their business offices. I grew up conservative mennonite and make my own breads. A lot of my amish nieces don't even know how. Soooo not all amish are so old timey anymore. 🌞
My walking group stops at McDonald's once a week for coffee. I always get a small seniors coffee...$1. Last week the couple in front of me in line ordered lunch. Just a basic burger and fries meal with a drink for each of them. It was about $35! A terrible price for terrible food!
I'm 48 years old and do all of these as much as I can. I get cranky at those who just throw away. What a waste! They laugh at me constantly but in the end I laugh because they are asking me for money. I have been a stickler for reuse and waste little for as long as I can remember.
Boy, do I miss my clothesline. And don't forget the yells we used to get as kids about turning off the light when we left the room. Shoot, I need to send my grandson there for a while.😊😊😊
This is the Amish way, as you say, but it’s also just common sense for many people around the world. I do all that here in France and I’m just plain Christian with a bit of common sense...and no money to waste.
It's not an expiration date it's a best by date. Big difference. Many canned items can go years beyond the best by date, but be careful with dented, rust cans and do the look at and sniff test especially tomato products. Use common sense.
These are all things Farming families like my Aunts, Uncles, and Grandparents practiced. Our last few generations have lost touch with sustainable living. Guaranteed that most of the people watching your video don't even have a panty! FEMA says every American should have a minimum of 72 hours of food and water and preferably up to 3 weeks. A full ingredient household, Canning, a pantry, food storage, sewing & etc used to be taught in Home Economics in the Public School. I bet they aren't anymore.
Government schools haven’t taught any of that in decades. Luckily, there is a small yet growing interest in reviving these skills and even in homesteading to improve families’ resilience and lives.
Much of the extra work to be frugal is done by women. But most of the women -unlike the Amish women- also have a 9 to 5 job. But yes I also like doing a lot of the things recommanded in the video
It’s not hard to figure out, but as a Truck Driver. Bottles of water, frozen pizzas, chips, etc. They’re all made in the same places, but different packaging… The price is cheaper usually for the store brand because they don’t pay for advertising like the name brands do.
Most tips are amazing, however time or time management is a key factor. Another thing that restricts most of the tips is space. I need my dryer in the apartment. I'll throw my fridge and washing machine out, but not my dryer
@one-step-at-a-time-curiosity in tropical countries, with indoor drying, it causes a lot of indoor humidity, leading to a mouldy smell on any wood or particle board furniture. Leaving windows open attracts mosquito and other bugs/insects, one family member already had a bout of malaria. That mouldiness in turn triggers breathing issues for many people, including my husband. And I've lived with lines of wet clothes indoors, wet clothes on chair....it's a life I'll never go back to given a choice. If I had any possibility of drying outdoors in the natural sun, or even balcony drying, it would be so nice. But the one balcony the apartment has, is utilised for other purposes. Leaving me with no option but to be heavily dependent on the dryer.
Someone has to cook/bake those meals, breads and pies. Women used to be the cooks but now they are the CEO's. A better use of their time. Amish women have to do this and have agreed to do it. Other women, not so much. Other suggestions, like sharing bulk purchases, learning to pickle and put up preserves and growing some food can be done by most.
Amish women have the skills to raise children and take care of their homes. They don't need to be a CEO. The value they bring in time and talents is immense.
@@cicibogdziewicz5735 I agree our world would not be in such a mess if women were home with their children instead of letting outsiders influence their children. I know many young Mom's right now who are not happy they are out in the work force while their children are being raised by others, they would much rather be able to afford to be home with their children, cooking their meals at home and being with their husbands.

I noticed, besides the use of electricity, I live quite a similar life to the Amish lifestyle 😅. Just here in good ol‘ Germany, well, at least what is still left 🫣
Crushed egg shells will eliminate restless leg syndrome. Go visit some latin countries. I've learned more from watching huge communities interact. The addiction to modern conveniences is the biggest battle, and a very difficult challenge.
@@Freiya2011 I clean/rinse them leaving the white inside flesh intact. (the inside skin contains stem cells.) Then crush them then grind them in a coffee grinder. I personally just put a tsp of the powder in my mouth, take a sip of water, swish it around my mouth with my chin down and swallow. If you do this you have to be careful not to breath in the dust. Add them to a drink or smoothy if you like.
" make food yourself" i was raised with an off grid community. I have been making my own foods since i could mix a bowl. NOW? its to expensive to buy the supplies i need to make my own bread products. Even with all my chickens, ducks, and garden. I cant grow/raise enough in my suburban area to supply my kitchen.
Check and see if you have a Azure Standard Drop off in your area, some of their bulk products are reasonably priced. Also check if you have any Amish stores in your area they sell in a town about half a hour away from my house in bulk. Anna In Ohio
Hi, I am IDA is he sick? We in New York State PAY approximately $25 for a large bottle of TIDE detergent. Many of us don’t know how to use it. I can make it last six months and my clothes looks GREAT but most YOUNG women that I’VE MET lately that below 30 YRS. think they have to put in 3 cups per load, which is ridiculous SO OF COURSE every week they need a brand new container of Tide detergent because they don’t know how to use it.
All these tips are mighty heavy on females working darned hard. They don't have outside jobs and then a second shift at home. How many of the vaunted Amish live in apartments or row houses? I suspect the Amish community is another name for a less formal corporation. Trouble is you can't easily quit and get another job elsewhere.
Have you ever been behind an Amish family at the grocery store? I have many times. There are many Amish families living in my area. And they buy the worst highly processed foods. Shopping carts full of unhealthy food. The cheapest flour and hydrogenated shortening. I would never buy baked goods from them!
I found women doing the majority of the frugal tips. The communal way they live in large groups allows each female to have a specialty like baking, sewing, gardening etc. They have one duty typically. It’s not possible for most families who don’t eat in communal dining rooms to save that much money either. They even have women who do nothing but wash dishes or do laundry etc. It’s just not achievable for most people. I grew up with a mother who did most of these things alone! Gardening, canning, laundry etc. The Amish don’t work outside the home while doing these things. 😂 Oh , I can just imagine bartering or borrowing in my neighborhood. It’s a different world in 2025 if one isn’t living a slow fantasy life while the rest of us keep the country going. 😊 Honestly, I find them users of the non- Amish society in order to live the way they do. 😂
If you work 8-9 hours a day, when are you going to have the time to bake 3 times a week? A loaf of bread takes 1 1/2 hours just to rise twice, much less mixing, baking, and cooling.
Number One: Make sure you have a Lifetime Cook, Housekeeper, Gardener, Canner, Seamstress, Launderer, Baker, Farm Hand, Child Care Worker, Educator, Brood Mare and all-round Servant (a Woman) chained to your house. Especially, your stove. And make sure you don't pay her for any of her hard work. Otherwise, this "money-saving scheme" doesn't work.
I noticed that too. But in the average american family some of this could be done, I know families where all members cook together and make all food from scratch and still have 2 carreers
In the men's defense the men build the homes, raise livestock, raise crops, barter services, and sell goods and services, so carpenter, livestock raiser, butcher, meat processor, handy man, etc
We live like that in Europe and we are not Amish. We hardly ever go to eat out, maybe for someone's birthday but not more often. We drink tap water - it's perfectly drinkable and safe. In my family, we hardly ever buy drinks from stores. I mean - why should we? We can drink water, or put a little bit of (home-made) fruit syrup in it, we can drink tea or coffee... So why should we pay extra money? We make coffee only at home. I never buy it anywhere as it is overpriced. And mine is better. I have bought myself a little thermoflask so when I go to work, I just make myself a coffee to go. I don't eat or drink sugar, I just put a little bit of cream in it, and that's it. I also cook from scratch. No cans, no tins, no ready-to-eat meals. Not in my home. Those who order food from restaurants or go to restaurants can't save money. Definitely not as much as I can. Then I hear them complaining how little money they are left with each month. That's unbelievably irresponsible and lazy. Also, if you have a garden, you can grow some of your veggies, too. And keep chickens for fresh eggs.
The chickens, cow, and goats won’t work for most city apartment dwellers. The neighbors will take care of the eviction before the landlord gets to you. A fair number of these can be adapted by city folks. Simple mending, meal planning, using the basics for cleaning, look for free entertainments, cut down on use of electric, avoid convenience foods, etc. Can you use public transportation, walk, bike, scooter, or carpool?
Good tips if you have time to follow them. But if you work all day, when will you have time to make soaps, sew your clothes, make preserves, bake your own bread, grind your coffee beans etc?!
Hi, I am IDA YOUR CHANNEL SHOWS THINGS, that MOST OF US KNOW of ESPECIALLY US OLDER ONES. WE KNOW HOW TO SAVE MONEY, EVEN IF WE NEVER WERE PART OF THE AMISH COMMUNITY OR THE COUNTRYSIDE FOR THAT MATTER, and furthermore HERE IN NYC the bedbug infestation we have had a for over 10 yrs. there is no way in hell that I will ever buy something used because even furniture can come infested with bedbugs in NYC and abroad!! ✋🙄
Those piles of clothes reminds me of my 27 year old twin daughter buying sheen throwing piles of clothes out wich i pick up and donate to theift stores
Yep all of that is spot on.... the issue is most people who have the energy to do that are younger and DONT have the time. When you have the time do all that work is for the birds lol One of the biggest area's where people spend money without thinking about is food. The amount of money you can save on your food budget by doing a little work and planning can save you a ton of money. Crock pots are your friend. Stews adn soups turn into multiple meals that are healthy, taste great and over 3-4 days save you a ton of money. Bread makers are a wonderful way to make bread for about a buck a loaf.

... no one has time anymore to cook from scratch. ... they r tooo bizzy working to cover the cost of all the taxes/extortion which, when u include hidden taxes, eats up 80%+ of ones income
@wandapowell4003 True. And I used to. But here I'm off-grid & have no oven. I also used to make my own hummus and tofu (I'm vegan) One day I'm going to get a pizza oven. Yum
This kitchen tips is a full time job. And that is on top of the full time job a lot of women are already working. Come on! Need some tips that works for a working woman.
It isn’t just the Amish that do that. I grew up in this early 60s and that was a normal way of life for most Americans.
Seriously, not sure why the OP decided to give the Amish credit. I grew doing all of these ‘ and I STILL do them all.
In Poland as well.
Same mate for the Australians in the 60s.
My mother always canned every summer. I’ve always regretted not learning how, but as the youngest I was out helping my dad.
I put cereal, oatmeal, pasta , grits , cream of wheat, rice.etc. Then I seal the jars.
Homeschooling family of 10 here. We already do these things. This is just "living" for so many families.

I learned about other cultures, teamwork, developed interpersonal skills, & spent a lot of time helping young people with their problems relating to olddd folks especially parents. I learned so much about the digital age we live in that I’m now one of the cool old folks the kids like to hang out with. I shared all kinds of cultural values & crafts of my own. The pain relief of getting my mind off my pain & being able to sit or lay still for hours when I had neuropathy flare ups was how I avoided opioids. The community was always supportive & had tons of advice & suggestions that led me to some big advances in my health. They nagged me into yoga & mindfulness practices that actually worked so well I am free now from my walker & wheelchair. I never thought that was possible. While there is a toxic bunch of gamers… usually males & mostly young guys, I became a person who provided moral support & verbally assistance to their victims & helped police our servers . A few of us stopped a girl from being criminally abused & assisted in her healing from it. And I mentored an autistic teen in a game for two years while she learned how to effectively socialize in the MMORPG & I made sure no one was exploiting her in the game. She eventually was able to move out from her parents, meet a boyfriend, got a job & got married. All things her parents were told she could never do because her grasp of human interactions was. It adequate. Gaming in virtual reality situations gave her that experience in a safe environment. She became able to recognize good from bad people & develop a sense of humor & so many other people skills she was confused about. I consider it an honor to have taught her how to navigate society & I cried when we had to part ways online. She was like my virtual daughter all grown up & leaving the nest. I don’t think I would be here if it wasn’t for gaming when I was forced to retire early & faced such physical & emotional struggles. Every day logging on with my online community greeting me & doing activities together, achieving goals, facing battles, dealing with losses & planning for our future adventures was a blessing to me. I would even talk to them while doing my housework even while my character was just sitting in the game doing nothing. They were the best friends I ever had who truly cared about me & I them. I had some friendships in game for 5 years. I had rivalries & fights & problems too. So being shut in at home from health problems was bearable & I never gave up. I had a reason to get up, stay active, lose weight, follow doctors orders & when surgeries came I was never bored or depressed. I never needed a shrink or anti depressants. You simply have no idea what you are talking about with regard to gaming. Not all gaming is negative.
Growing up in Bosnia we did so many things that Amish do. During war we even didn’t have electricity which we live fully like Amish. Even now I implement so many things that are in this video. ❤
These are just everyday things you should already be doing.
Wonderful lessons on how to live sensibly and help save our planet. Perhaps we should go to Amish School for a year. It takes courage to live this way. But let’s do what we can do. Don’t forget the spiritual side. Love your neighbour and help each other. But Technology used sensibly is also a huge asset.
I have done all these things for over 40 years. Im pleased that my children do it also. 🥰
My German grandparents lived this way. I remember helping them in their garden and my 80 year old great granma who still worked hard . After harvesting prepping the vegetables for the cellar and the preserves and canning . They had their own pigs and chickens and got their milk fresh from a local dairy farmer. They used to take their churn over and get it filled daily and made their own cheese.
My Russian grandparents were the same. They never even had a waste bin because they never had waste - they recycled everything.
There's nothing like home canning. You know exactly what is in your jars.
Thank you so much for sharing these amazing money 💰 savings ideas 💡 and tips. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Hi. I make my own breads, cakes etc. I Cook all my meals at home. I preserve my veg. I save a lot of money doing this.
Tastes a lot better too!
Bread is easy to make & way cheaper. I bought a bread machine at the thrift shop. It makes excellent bread.
Without all the chemicals.
I bought a cheap Westbend double paddle bread maker from Amazon and I love it so much I bought another one that is still in the carton not opened because when this one finally gives up on me, I have another one. It makes a 3 pound loaf in one hour and 28 minutes on the quick bread setting that tastes as good as the long setting. I don’t know how many hundreds of loaves I’ve made now because this is my third year with it and it’s still going strong. I make at least one loaf per week. I had other bread makers before that were much more expensive or smaller and I was OK with them, but the super expensive one never really worked right and the cheap smaller one made a loaf that was an odd shape and tiny. This makes a standard looking loaf of bread. I now buy 25 to 50 pound sacks of bread flour from Amazon and I vacuum seal it and put it in 5 gallon plastic pails. I buy bricks of bulk yeast of the instant variety and just keep them in my refrigerator and put one in a quart jar so I always have one open and several of them stored in the back of the refrigerator. Recently, someone asked me how much an average loaf of bread cost me to make and compare it to the standard loaf of bread at the dollar store. She was getting the white or wheat bread at the dollar store for $2.65 per loaf and didn’t think I could beat that price.😂 after I dragged out the calculator and did all the calculations I am making a 3 pound loaf of bread for $1.45 and she’s buying a 1.25 pound loaf for $2.65. Of course my bread tastes wonderful and her bread taste like fluffy air nothing with a lot of chemicals. I’m using whole wheat or unbleached white whole wheat flour. If I switched to organic it does jack up the price to about $2.25 per loaf and that’s still 3 pounds not 1.25 pounds. And then when I did cross comparisons for cinnamon rolls and raisin bread and so forth as well as dump cakes.., where you just take a cake mix and dump all of the ingredients in the bread maker and put it on quick bread setting and you get a perfect loaf cake… you just can’t beat it! And if you’re that kind of person that has arthritis and you like to make your own homemade bread and you wanna bake it in your own oven and form dough in different ways and make fancy dough… You can still do all of that by just using your bread maker to knead and rise your dough so you don’t hurt your hands. I’ve had thumb reconstructions and carpal tunnel surgeries and I still have arthritis so it’s a blessing. I will never be without a bread maker for the rest of my life if I can possibly help it. ☮️✌🏼
Grew up this way .Waste not want not.Gathering together at my granmothers for Sunday family meals.Growing veg and fruit making butter bread.Istill do .
Excellent, comprehensive list of how to live frugally. The Amish do it all. We might do a few nowadays. In years past we did more of these because there was no competition by manufacturers to make life, what we thought, easier and easier, yet less content sometimes. I enjoyed this videos very much. I live in Amish country. If one goes up Amish, that’s fine, if not, growing up in the modern era makes it difficult to live quite like that because of competition. They probably save themselves in many other ways also, with less stress and living simply. Thanks for the video.
Lol😅EVERYONE did this back in the day. No need to give Amish all the credit.
This is common sense that generations all over the world have being doing for decades (including myself), not just Amish. Which is why frugal people don't have debt, don't rely on credit and we live within our means.
Excellent thoughts given with an excellent presentation.
Don't use plastic bottle though. I never pay for coffee or tea outside as I discover that the quality is not there. I use a travelling cup and make my own.
Obviously this dude doesn't live in holmes county, ohio. Amish capital. I live here and i know amish that eat out much more than i do. Lol My husband grew up Amish and we have lived here 25 years. Amish has changed so much in the last 25 years. Some don't even do gardens anymore. A lot of them have electricity from their generators and they use vacuums, washers, mixers, freeze dryers, and on and on. Ride around on electric bikes and golf carts. Have internet in their business offices. I grew up conservative mennonite and make my own breads. A lot of my amish nieces don't even know how. Soooo not all amish are so old timey anymore. 🌞
My walking group stops at McDonald's once a week for coffee. I always get a small seniors coffee...$1.
Last week the couple in front of me in line ordered lunch. Just a basic burger and fries meal with a drink for each of them. It was about $35! A terrible price for terrible food!
I'm 48 years old and do all of these as much as I can. I get cranky at those who just throw away. What a waste! They laugh at me constantly but in the end I laugh because they are asking me for money. I have been a stickler for reuse and waste little for as long as I can remember.
If you grew up in the poor south, you did most of these things, except for the Amish clothing.
Boy, do I miss my clothesline. And don't forget the yells we used to get as kids about turning off the light when we left the room. Shoot, I need to send my grandson there for a while.😊😊😊
I always wanted to live like the Amish ever since I watched that movie, 'For richer or poorer' . 😌😌😌💐💐💐♥️♥️♥️
This is the Amish way, as you say, but it’s also just common sense for many people around the world. I do all that here in France and I’m just plain Christian with a bit of common sense...and no money to waste.
❤
The Amish immigrated from the Alsace region, so you'll fit right in 😮
@@MarksPhoto I think not.
The Amish Ive lived around had plenty of money. They charged handsomely for their goods and services and had plenty of customers. They buy land.
Invest! Hurt up front for tomorrow's bounty. Like the cast iron skillets!
@karenbourgeois7957 what? Read your comment back to yourself. Its incoherent
@@Jughead24 not overly. He talked about upfront costs for benefits overtime.
@karenbourgeois7957 wow....be well Karen
@Jughead24 wow what?
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for making it.
I live in a senior home apartment very difficult to do most of these things good ideas 💡 though
These are all good ideas! Thank you
It's not an expiration date it's a best by date. Big difference. Many canned items can go years beyond the best by date, but be careful with dented, rust cans and do the look at and sniff test especially tomato products. Use common sense.
The Amish know how to live in tune with nature.
...ask their horses
These are all things Farming families like my Aunts, Uncles, and Grandparents practiced. Our last few generations have lost touch with sustainable living. Guaranteed that most of the people watching your video don't even have a panty! FEMA says every American should have a minimum of 72 hours of food and water and preferably up to 3 weeks.
A full ingredient household, Canning, a pantry, food storage, sewing & etc used to be taught in Home Economics in the Public School. I bet they aren't anymore.
Government schools haven’t taught any of that in decades. Luckily, there is a small yet growing interest in reviving these skills and even in homesteading to improve families’ resilience and lives.
No home economics classes in schools now.
Much of the extra work to be frugal is done by women. But most of the women -unlike the Amish women- also have a 9 to 5 job.
But yes I also like doing a lot of the things recommanded in the video
... for candles, bee's wax only
The nanopartivles from scented candles go into yr lungs.
I do these things all the time and we are wealthy people
Great show...last secret is best!
Buy yourselves a piece of land to save on tumble-dryer bill... What an excellent idea, I would have never thought of that.
Yes, clueless comment there.
I admire amish lifestyle...wish i have a garden😢
When if you had - gardening isn't that easy!
Great video! 🌟 Wishing all the viewers happiness and success! 🎉✨
When you work full time sometimes difficult to cook this much.
Good video-thanks
... grind ur egg shells to a fine powder as otherwise it takes yrs, even decades, for large pieces of shell to dissolve.
Not what google says, and not my experience. Ignorant claim.
... due to all the chemtrail spraying one must also purify rain water.
... RO is the best
they even sprayed us on christmas yesterday! wtf?!
Really? You worry about chemtrail in the scarcely populated US?😂
It’s not hard to figure out, but as a Truck Driver. Bottles of water, frozen pizzas, chips, etc. They’re all made in the same places, but different packaging… The price is cheaper usually for the store brand because they don’t pay for advertising like the name brands do.
Most tips are amazing, however time or time management is a key factor. Another thing that restricts most of the tips is space. I need my dryer in the apartment. I'll throw my fridge and washing machine out, but not my dryer
What is so special about a dryer that you'll have it before a washer and even a refrigerator? Cloth can be hung even inside a house if needed.
@one-step-at-a-time-curiosity in tropical countries, with indoor drying, it causes a lot of indoor humidity, leading to a mouldy smell on any wood or particle board furniture. Leaving windows open attracts mosquito and other bugs/insects, one family member already had a bout of malaria. That mouldiness in turn triggers breathing issues for many people, including my husband. And I've lived with lines of wet clothes indoors, wet clothes on chair....it's a life I'll never go back to given a choice. If I had any possibility of drying outdoors in the natural sun, or even balcony drying, it would be so nice. But the one balcony the apartment has, is utilised for other purposes. Leaving me with no option but to be heavily dependent on the dryer.
Very nice n useful, thank you😊
Nothing new here. This is how I live (off-grid with solar power)
Someone has to cook/bake those meals, breads and pies. Women used to be the cooks but now they are the CEO's. A better use of their time. Amish women have to do this and have agreed to do it. Other women, not so much.
Other suggestions, like sharing bulk purchases, learning to pickle and put up preserves and growing some food can be done by most.
Amish women have the skills to raise children and take care of their homes. They don't need to be a CEO. The value they bring in time and talents is immense.
Men should provide for family essentials..women should stay home and take care of the kids and husband
The most important job in the world is raising a family; all other jobs exist to support that, no matter how they are packaged.
@@cicibogdziewicz5735 I agree our world would not be in such a mess if women were home with their children instead of letting outsiders influence their children. I know many young Mom's right now who are not happy they are out in the work force while their children are being raised by others, they would much rather be able to afford to be home with their children, cooking their meals at home and being with their husbands. Anna In Ohio
@@wrenjacobs9392 if you choose to do so do it! But don't force people to do that against their own plans!
I noticed, besides the use of electricity, I live quite a similar life to the Amish lifestyle 😅. Just here in good ol‘ Germany, well, at least what is still left 🫣
Crushed egg shells will eliminate restless leg syndrome. Go visit some latin countries. I've learned more from watching huge communities interact. The addiction to modern conveniences is the biggest battle, and a very difficult challenge.
What do you do with theegg-shells? Put them into your socks? Add them to the food????
@@Freiya2011 I clean/rinse them leaving the white inside flesh intact. (the inside skin contains stem cells.) Then crush them then grind them in a coffee grinder. I personally just put a tsp of the powder in my mouth, take a sip of water, swish it around my mouth with my chin down and swallow. If you do this you have to be careful not to breath in the dust. Add them to a drink or smoothy if you like.
@drewweselak8032 thankyou!
8:23 that store or kitchen's cupboards look like an earthquake hit and all that blue glass and valuable food look ready to cave in.
Can you teach us canning on here please?
I live like this every day…always have.
" make food yourself" i was raised with an off grid community. I have been making my own foods since i could mix a bowl. NOW? its to expensive to buy the supplies i need to make my own bread products. Even with all my chickens, ducks, and garden. I cant grow/raise enough in my suburban area to supply my kitchen.
Check and see if you have a Azure Standard Drop off in your area, some of their bulk products are reasonably priced. Also check if you have any Amish stores in your area they sell in a town about half a hour away from my house in bulk. Anna In Ohio
I save my vege peels and make vege broth.
Hi, I am IDA is he sick? We in New York State PAY approximately $25 for a large bottle of TIDE detergent. Many of us don’t know how to use it. I can make it last six months and my clothes looks GREAT but most YOUNG women that I’VE MET lately that below 30 YRS. think they have to put in 3 cups per load, which is ridiculous SO OF COURSE every week they need a brand new container of Tide detergent because they don’t know how to use it.
I drink tea. 🤔☕
Fifry tips fifty chapters. It's a no brainer.
I get Free Casino Buffets every month. 45 Years at the same tribe. You can be well know VIP without wasting money.
So you eat on other people's expenses? How do you call that...parasitize?
Amish women don't work in demanding professions/careers outside the home. Baking for example is not something people in full time jobs can do.
You people act like only the Amish do this.I was raised this way, and Amish bakery buy bread dough at Walmart and sell them for $6 tp$8 a loaf
I never knew that the Amish are the source for commonsense thinking and its aphorisms..LOL
Sun light dried clothes sun acts as a bleach
All these tips are mighty heavy on females working darned hard. They don't have outside jobs and then a second shift at home.
How many of the vaunted Amish live in apartments or row houses?
I suspect the Amish community is another name for a less formal corporation. Trouble is you can't easily quit and get another job elsewhere.
And the males work darned hard working the land and, Building. Success is a team effort.
Do you have Amish recipes for cookies or cake
Have you ever been behind an Amish family at the grocery store? I have many times. There are many Amish families living in my area. And they buy the worst highly processed foods. Shopping carts full of unhealthy food. The cheapest flour and hydrogenated shortening. I would never buy baked goods from them!
I found women doing the majority of the frugal tips. The communal way they live in large groups allows each female to have a specialty like baking, sewing, gardening etc. They have one duty typically. It’s not possible for most families who don’t eat in communal dining rooms to save that much money either. They even have women who do nothing but wash dishes or do laundry etc. It’s just not achievable for most people.
I grew up with a mother who did most of these things alone! Gardening, canning, laundry etc. The Amish don’t work outside the home while doing these things. 😂 Oh , I can just imagine bartering or borrowing in my neighborhood. It’s a different world in 2025 if one isn’t living a slow fantasy life while the rest of us keep the country going. 😊 Honestly, I find them users of the non- Amish society in order to live the way they do. 😂
8:25 Except they will start a job and not finish it and then u have a house in disrepair
Im apparently Amish
Pies:Artery clogging trans fats.Same goes for the cookies
my mom just took all my scrap lumber to the dump! she didn't even ask me! >:(
$250 on a single restaurant dinner for a family of four? Where does this number come from?😂
Just an fyi, a lot of your footage does not match what you are saying, for us visual viewers its conflicting, great information though. Thanks
If you work 8-9 hours a day, when are you going to have the time to bake 3 times a week? A loaf of bread takes 1 1/2 hours just to rise twice, much less mixing, baking, and cooling.
Number One: Make sure you have a Lifetime Cook, Housekeeper, Gardener, Canner, Seamstress, Launderer, Baker, Farm Hand, Child Care Worker, Educator, Brood Mare and all-round Servant (a Woman) chained to your house. Especially, your stove. And make sure you don't pay her for any of her hard work. Otherwise, this "money-saving scheme" doesn't work.
I noticed that too. But in the average american family some of this could be done, I know families where all members cook together and make all food from scratch and still have 2 carreers
In the men's defense the men build the homes, raise livestock, raise crops, barter services, and sell goods and services, so carpenter, livestock raiser, butcher, meat processor, handy man, etc
At least ONE person realized the "flaw"!
We live like that in Europe and we are not Amish. We hardly ever go to eat out, maybe for someone's birthday but not more often. We drink tap water - it's perfectly drinkable and safe. In my family, we hardly ever buy drinks from stores. I mean - why should we? We can drink water, or put a little bit of (home-made) fruit syrup in it, we can drink tea or coffee... So why should we pay extra money? We make coffee only at home. I never buy it anywhere as it is overpriced. And mine is better. I have bought myself a little thermoflask so when I go to work, I just make myself a coffee to go. I don't eat or drink sugar, I just put a little bit of cream in it, and that's it. I also cook from scratch. No cans, no tins, no ready-to-eat meals. Not in my home. Those who order food from restaurants or go to restaurants can't save money. Definitely not as much as I can. Then I hear them complaining how little money they are left with each month. That's unbelievably irresponsible and lazy. Also, if you have a garden, you can grow some of your veggies, too. And keep chickens for fresh eggs.
The chickens, cow, and goats won’t work for most city apartment dwellers. The neighbors will take care of the eviction before the landlord gets to you. A fair number of these can be adapted by city folks. Simple mending, meal planning, using the basics for cleaning, look for free entertainments, cut down on use of electric, avoid convenience foods, etc. Can you use public transportation, walk, bike, scooter, or carpool?
No, those led light bulbs catch fire. We stick to old reliable light bulbs
I didn’t know that. Thanks
Good tips if you have time to follow them. But if you work all day, when will you have time to make soaps, sew your clothes, make preserves, bake your own bread, grind your coffee beans etc?!
Hi, I am IDA YOUR CHANNEL SHOWS THINGS, that MOST OF US KNOW of ESPECIALLY US OLDER ONES. WE KNOW HOW TO SAVE MONEY, EVEN IF WE NEVER WERE PART OF THE AMISH COMMUNITY OR THE COUNTRYSIDE FOR THAT MATTER, and furthermore HERE IN NYC the bedbug infestation we have had a for over 10 yrs. there is no way in hell that I will ever buy something used because even furniture can come infested with bedbugs in NYC and abroad!! ✋🙄
In E of Europe îs the same life style...
Those piles of clothes reminds me of my 27 year old twin daughter buying sheen throwing piles of clothes out wich i pick up and donate to theift stores
What a rich community
$250 for 1 restaurant trip.. good gif where are these people eating??
What does they use for toilets tissues
haystack or used fabric cloth
Water + handwash is all a human being needs.
You show toilet paper; are the Amish using cloth toilet paper too?

The Amish use elect coffee makers?
Vivo praticamente come un hamish, ( tranne la carrozza)e poche altre attività e non lo sapevo 😅
Yep all of that is spot on.... the issue is most people who have the energy to do that are younger and DONT have the time. When you have the time do all that work is for the birds lol
One of the biggest area's where people spend money without thinking about is food. The amount of money you can save on your food budget by doing a little work and planning can save you a ton of money. Crock pots are your friend. Stews adn soups turn into multiple meals that are healthy, taste great and over 3-4 days save you a ton of money. Bread makers are a wonderful way to make bread for about a buck a loaf.
... no one has time anymore to cook from scratch.
... they r tooo bizzy working to cover the cost of all the taxes/extortion which, when u include hidden taxes, eats up 80%+ of ones income
At one cord of wood per winter that’s 340 million cords of hardwood per year. Where is that coming from?
Bread is $4 a loaf there?
I have to pay $8-$11 in New Zealand.
Oh my. That's awful.
It will pay to make your own. The u.s.a. has gmo flour,so I get my flour from Canada.
@wandapowell4003 True. And I used to. But here I'm off-grid & have no oven.
I also used to make my own hummus and tofu (I'm vegan)
One day I'm going to get a pizza oven. Yum
@ I use a small toaster oven to bake my bread.
@@wandapowell4003 that's a good idea if you have electricity ✔️
