We have a fully stocked pantry too! Always be prepared! My gratitude today is I didn’t break any bones when I fell down the deck stairs!❤
Oh wow I’m so greatful you are all good too!
Happy Birthday 🥳 to your Daughter hope she has a great day
Thank you so much!
I am the exact same way when it comes to being aware, but not letting it consume me. I can't live everyday worrying about things I can't change. It's just too overwhelming. We live a somewhat prepared life to keep our family going and don't worry too much about the things out of our control.
This is exactly what I was saying! So happy to hear it! Thank you
Safe travels to Costco and home Jessica
I love your balanced approach and that's what I'm striving for too! You aren't blocking out the news and the possible threats, but are also breaking it down into just what you can manage and doing what you can! Sometimes the anxiety gets the best of me, but there is only so much we as individuals can do, and then we relax knowing we did what we could and leave the rest to God.
Thank you for getting it. Much appreciated
If it were only my husband and I, we’re set for about 9 months. If our elderly parents needed us, we could sustain everyone for 6 months. I’m hoping to get to the 1 year point but for now, I’m thankful for what we have.
That’s amazing! Way to go
😊Hello from Kentucky,it’s such a great feeling to know and nice to shop at home! Great video! I think God for this blessing and my Dad for teaching me to always have something stuck back!
I love it! It’s so amazing like you said! Thank you
My mom always have a stock pantry, and so do I. It was a great learned behavior.Also this past year, I brought a 1/2 cow, learned to canned and planning on a bigger garden this year
Wow you are doing amazing things. Way to go
Great video Jessica and Aaron
Love the show.
Hi thank you for getting us to thinking ahead.
Thank you for watching. I was just reading. It’s our job to share what we feel is our message. Even if others don’t receive it, we shared it.
Yes I worrie about my grandkids having food.i do stock up some things for my grandkids have food.thx.😊❤❤
That’s so great I love to hear that.
Fun! Howdy from Apple Valley Cali! Luv bonbon! Ur all always n our Prayers!
Thank you so very much!
I live in North Yorkshire in the Uk and slowly have built a pantry to last my family of 5 a couple of months. With the world as it is I feel it is important to plan for the worst. As long as the supplies don’t go to waste I think it’s a great thing to to. I have a veggie plot to so looking forward to the growing season ! 😊. The only thing I wish we had was a basement! They aren’t as common here in the UK !
Oh so wonderful! I hope my veggies grow this year too.
Prayers for UK
Thank you for sharing your day ,i always say to my Daughter`s "Be Good ,Be Kind, Be Respectful" And Your life will be good. Touch wood every day our lives have been Blessed and Perfect❤
You are amazing! Beautiful!
Concerned rather than worried. So many monumental changes in a short time that shouldn’t be ignored. I had to start over with it all, and I can’t prepare the way I used to but I can still do the best I can with the resources I have. Yes, we will get through it together and come out stronger!❤️
Good choice of words I like that. You are doing amazing.
Ooh Happy Birthday Kodie!
Thank you
Enjoyed this today.
Great I’m so glad
We are at peace from Mississippi. Very grateful for wisdom to be able to stock up!
Thank you I’m so happy for you
Hi sweet one! You are so smart to be prepared. I am not as worried about having so many weeks of food, but I do have fully stocked freezer meals and pantry goods. Since I live in a big city, it's easy for me to shop weekly. I love Costco!!!! Have a wonderful week and tell Codie Happy Birthday!!! Big hugs and many blessings!!
See that’s just wonderful! I love it. I am a long distance from shopping. I didn’t even say but filling up my truck was $108. So the less I travel the more I save.
Thank you for sharing. From iowa.❤❤😊😊
Thank you for watching.
Thank you! I’m so thankful for your *prepare with wisdom and peace* perspective. I share that view (although at times I struggle with anxiousness which is when I know I need to take a break from input and be still and fix my eyes on Jesus). Love seeing how you organize and choose your pantry/ preps.
Amen on that. I don’t do all that well with panic. I can tell you I feel very excited. Like let’s get cooking. I love to cook. So this did personally help me be at peace. Thank you for watching.
I agree with you, I have alteast 6 months worth of food for my family, as you never know😄❤️
Completely so important
Just the two of us…..but we are set for many weeks if needed. We both come from farming families and both clans were preppers before it had a title!!
I sincerely want to thank you as I put in my delivery order from our local Kroger’s this morning, as I watched you shop I had forgotten a few things you picked up!! So I had to amend my order! We are 10 miles from our main shopping area and they have extended deliveries out this far!! Blessings for a disabled lady of age!!
I saw the picture of Kodie’s celebratory table full of friends and food! It looked like a fun time was being had by all!!
Until our next visit…..❤Momma G
I love it! Thank you so very much
Jess, I feel the same way. I just completed my basic pantry for 1 yr. I am now canning convenience foods and specialty foods. I am grateful for the guidance you've provided as it has been the motivation to get my pantry organized and my cooking style honed in. Now I am on a similar schedule as the one you've created. It makes shopping and meal prep much easier and more streamlined.
Thank you 😊 and Take good care.
Love it! We see very much eye to eye
I always like to have a stocked pantry and freezers it has very little prepared food as it's healthier AND cheaper to prep your own. Having just done a 2 month pantry challenge with my friend it was deeply comforting to have easily done it while eating well!!! For me a stocked pantry is a blessing ❤️❤️ Love from the UK x
I love love love this! Thank you so much for sharing
@@modernhomesteadalaska You inspired me to get back to cooking from scratch again. Love your videos ❤️
Loved this video! The chat on the way to costco was great! Love hearing your thoughts. Our family is in a different position than yours. Just hubby and I (empty nesters); but we are food organized; budget conscious; and mindful of food security. We have 6-8 weeks of sustainable food at most times. I utilize the double up method of cooking and freeze portion size meals (or portions of) i have an organized freezer system and use and replace. I personally think being organized and knowing what you have AND menu planning is most of the battle. I love how organized and thought out you seem to be. I use my crock pot a lot because I work outside the home - it's a great safe item I can leave cooking all day!
This video was great! Happy birthday Kody-ann
You are doing so amazing way to go glad we got to hang out
I AM 80 YRS OLD AND HAD STARTED OVER TWO YEARS AGO TO STOCK UP ON FOOD. I NOW HAVE AT LEAST ONE YEAR OF FOOD STOCK UP IF I EAT SMALL AMOUNTS. I AM ON LOW INCOME SOCIAL SECURTIY AND GET $23.00 of FOOD STAMPS -A MONTH--I HAVE TO WRITE A CHECK FOR ANYTHING ELSE, SO CAN NOT BUY MUCH EACH MONTH NOW. I CAN NOT PAY MY BILLS COMPETLY EACH MONTH BUT LIFE IS NOT EASY FOR ANY OF US. THE LORD IN MY SORCE AND I DEFFERENTLY AM NOT LOSING ANY WEIGHT. LOVE LISTENING TO YOU AND WATCHING HOW YOU THINK WHEN BUYING FOOD. LOTS OF LOVE AND PRAYERS.
Oh my goodness I’m so very sorry first of all. But you are beyond an inspiration the fact you stocked up a year of food off $23 is proof anyone can do it! Im beyond amazed by this!
Hi Jessica...I love your Costco shopping hauls. To be honest, I don't have enough to last for a long time if something were to happen. I love the idea of preparing for the unknown. Just don't have the room right now. I do, on the other hand have friends and family who are well prepared. Thanks for the great video 😊
That’s perfectly fine in my opinion. As long as you know your whys as to what you do. I support you.
Good morning and Happy Monday
Good morning! I just called Aaron to see if he could see the sky. It’s the most beautiful shades of pink and blue!
Thank you.
Thank you
Hello I'm from Pennsylvania. We have enough food for 6 weeks. But we are moving soon to a better home. And for us to have a better pantry. Thank you for all you help showing better ways to live. God bless you and your I'm praying that your family has a good hunt.
God bless my friend! Happy moving!
I have finally got my husband on board to buy somethings in bulk. I do all of the cooking and it's just so much easier to have things in bulk. He's like we will never eat all that and I just look at him like😂 Great video as usual!
My hubby got on board when I said it makes me feel more secure to have the things I can use to feed us and our grandbabies and kids
lol I’m with you I just told someone on another video I use 1&1/2 gallons of dry pintos in the last week between canning and eating. So yes I 1000% agree with you we use it. Lol but that’s why we get along and already knew we agreed
It so true. The mind can focus on other things when our food storage feels secure
I am an hour north of New Orleans in Louisiana. I stock up at Sam’s club. Can you post your 6 week menu so we can get ideas or kinda make one for ourselves. You look great in this video, glad to see you are feeling better!!
Yeah I started recording what we are eating for the next 6 weeks I’ll post it soon
❤Hi Jessica, You explained that so well! Thank you so much It does weigh heavy on our minds. We should always prepare if we can. Our children are all grown now, so its my husband and I. We would be fine for 6 weeks. Except for milk etc. I better freeze some! Thank you as always Jessica. Stay safe
Wow thank you so kind of you
I could go 6 weeks if not longer. I've always been that way. Even when it came to the toilet paper shortage..I was well stocked for me and family. Beautiful day in Michigan high of 50's most of the week. My hands are itching to get in my garden, but we know that'll be awhile.
You are doing amazing! I too can’t wait hit dirt to play in
I only have to take care of my beagle plus myself. She loves anything I cook. Plus I was at Costco this morning. The ground beef went up a dollar, and everything else was on sale. Have a great day Jessica. I change up my meals everyday.
Oh wow! My puppy’s are my favorite children, we can’t forget about them! Thank you for sharing good things I got done h my eat when I did!
There’s nothing wrong with being prepared,especially this day and time!
Agree! My thoughts too!
Great video. It's just a good thing to be prepared for anything. You never know about sickness, job loss, disaster. I'm like you just try to have enough for a month when something does happen. I'd do lots more if I lived in Alaska.
It does give you peace to have things we need.
I love this. Thank you for sharing!
For the avocados, you can put them in a glass container and cover them with water, and they will last for weeks. Place in fridge or another cold place.
Oh wow I had heard that with other things. Thanks fir sharing
Hi Jessica. I think we are good for……at least six to twelve months, because of our remote area, we only go to town every two months. I make almost everything from scratch….with a few exceptions. I think of it all the time, but not in a stressed out way. I love knowing my freezers and cold room are full. Thanks Jessica for talking about it, you always give me new ideas for food and meal planning. Hugs Lyn 🇨🇦🌷
Love it!!! You are already so well prepared for long tones.
Northern Indiana. I don’t worry but I am prepared. Just my husband and I could last about a year on what we have stored and what we would grow in the garden. However, we have 2 adult sons with their family’s that we have put extra away for them and our grandchildren. We have been helping them learn new skills and establish their own homesteads. Garden, chickens, etc.
I love this! So happy to hear it reaching out kids too!
I just brought 1/8 beef from my farmer and half pig. I do love Costco
Oh nice that’s amazing
We are in Kingman Arizona we have like you have stocked up on food. We started just before Covid. Thankfully ❤️
Love it we are still working on ours. COViD has sure taught us some lessons.
It is a very good feeling knowing we have a well stocked pantry. It's been in the making for a few years now. We have a good 2 year supply of dry and canned goods including pressure canned meats, poultry and ham, veggies and fruit. Same with toilet paper and hygiene supplies. There are only three of us but we have family members who are not on board with the idea of longterm storage so we keep adding a little more each time just in case. You are certainly on the right track. Keep up the good work! We should all be bracing ourselves for a financial collaspe or the next Great Depression.Many blessing to you and your family.
I love it! You take seriously doing the best you can do. And being prepared no matter what comes next
Wow I am so impressed by how you have really thought out your pantry and meals. I'm definitely trying to do more meal planning like the freezer meals, (make 2 freeze one)..I am watching from New Zealand & don't have easy access to Costco, however I'm always fascinated by what you can purchase from there.
Oh I love that. It’s so fun learning from other parts of the world. I’m sure you have lots I could learn and see differently, thank you so very much
Totally at peace. Stocked pantry, stocked freezer, laying chickens, this years meat birds will soon be in the brooder, we cook from scratch so we have lots of “ingredients “ that we can turn into food! Great job!
Perfect woman after my own heart! I love it
I like the way you think Jessica! I always appreciate what you share.Thanks for these morning videos I can watch with coffee...inspires my day!Have great week🦋👋🍁
Yeah thank you o love it!
My husband and I made this promise to always have a 1-year supply of food. Then we asked ourselves "how in the world are we going to do it?". I took a cue from my grandparents who fed 11 of their children, plus other family members, through the depression. Granted, my grandparents had a farm, but if they didn't raise it or grow it, they didn't eat. We are in the 'burbs but our entire back yard is a garden. We take advantage of local farmer's markets to get the extra produce we need and the meat we can't raise. Then we come home and can, freeze and dehydrate. We also shop Costco and local discount grocers for canned goods and grains. It has taken us over 8 years to meet this goal. It was hard at times, but SO worth the work. We did a little when we could, and it turned into a lot. I have peace with our pantry. Recently, our pantry has been able to bless family that were going through health issues and could not work. This is the REAL reason we do it.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS and ALL who watch your videos.
You are so amazing and quite an inspiration thank you for sharing!
Hi I am from Australia, we live in the North in a tropical climate. I by groceries every fortnight, but I do have enough in my stock to live for proberly 6 to 8 weeks, including toiletries, dish and washing liquid, toilet paper, shampoos etc..we live on 20 achers have 120 mango trees, many varieties of citrus, avacardo, paw paw, as well we grow vegetables...there is just myself and my husband but I often have my grandchildren
Thank you for sharing! Hello from Alaska
First I great coat. I really like the color. You did really great shopping. We are in Arlington Texas and prices in Costco are less. Are four kids are grown so it is just the two of us. My husband has always been an eat to live person. He doesn't eat cheese, Italian(no garlic), very few spices.He eats chicken and very little beef. I have had gastric by-pass and was a real foodie. I do think about the food because lots of times the shelves are pretty bare. I am a Christian and everyday I tell myself God is in control and I ask Him to take care of my kids and grandkids.
That’s beautiful I love where you went with it. God is so good.
You are such an inspiration!!! I had a fully stocked pantry and then went thru a divorce so having to start over. Now just two of us so having to start over. Need to buy a freezer but slowly but surely beginning. Picking up extra canned food here & there. Am going to try to be better about meal planning. In Southern Oregon & love your channel!!! Thank you.
That’s the way todo it a couple here and a few there. I’m sorry you had to go through the loss nonetheless. Thank you for watching
Love Costco! 😜
Agree!
Sadly I it is a hr drive to Costco
@@robinholbrook8296 yeah over an hour for me too. That’s why it’s not a regular thing.
I finally got hubby back on board with bulk shopping with pantry staples to offset inflation. After the craziness of the pandemic we’ll always have a good supply to get us through. I have noticed in our neck of the woods the prices of some things have come down and I’ve used what we’ve had on hand to not have to pay crazy high prices, eggs in particular. Everyone has different circumstances and we all have to do the best we can for our households and loved ones. Bartering has come in handy as well.
I love this! It’s the lifestyle I aspire to have! Thank you for sharing!!
Never ever assume you are immune ,at any time,any place. You prepare, stay private in majority decisions, don't seek approval by. Anyone, only your immediate family.. we do not share any aspect of our private lives,never seek approval by any outsiders. You are individuals with individual survival ways. Stay that way,life is so much easier and peaceful
Amen! Perfectly said!
I’ve seen comments on some threads where people are like what? Do you expect to never go into a grocery store again? Hahaha. Not funny because those are the people that will be running to other houses begging for help and I’m sorry I’m not giving my preps to people so my family can run and die just so you can live longer ! I will help all my friends and family I can BUT not at the expense of my kids! I have aboig 6 months worth of food but I’m really trying to build that up to a year and then 2 and beyond. I store beans rice Oats noodles in 5 gallon buckets plus I’m canning chicken duck etc …
I live in sweden...i have grocerys for maybe 6 month ...i think i prepared enough😅 food for the chickens for maybe 4 to 5 month😊now i will stock up fuel for the car,chainsaw and others
That’s amazing way to go!
I really need to better organize and to make a list of what I actually have. I’m bad about sticking things in the freezer and forgetting what’s in there.
It’s ok we all do it! I had to stop myself from buying yet again another ham! I know I have one but forget I have one and buy one. Cycle keeps going.
Jessica can i come next time when you go to costco?? You did good girl... thanks for sharing. My gratitude today is i'm thankful for the food in my cupboards.
Come on over! Let’s shop!
@@modernhomesteadalaska Love too, unfortunately long way from sunny Weston-super-Mare England to come! lol
Hi Jessica, as you know I’m in wales 🏴 uk, my husband and I are stocked for 6 weeks, and in the next couple of weeks we will be growing our own, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers & peppers, i can’t get over the price difference in our countries, although your products are bigger in size/weight, I always enjoy our chit chats with you, hope your all well, and your enjoying your gardening course xx
You are doing amazing! Way to go!
Fully stocked pantry here! We are a bit north of you and only do town runs about once a month for stock refills and fresh produce in the winter. Cannot wait until this snow is gone and we can get things out in the ground to cut back that grocery bill even more!!
That’s amazing! Way to go!
I’ve been stocking up from Azure Standard on dry goods. Haven’t really been in the grocery store for a couple weeks. I feel I need to do a small grocery shopping stock up soon. With all the craziness going on in the world.
That’s great I love Azure also. I hate the drive so I do far less Costco. But I can’t get frozen from Azure so I do have to hit Costco for certain things.
@@modernhomesteadalaska on the east coast sometimes the frozen from Azure thaws way to much, so I don’t order frozen items.
Hello from Illinois. I do meal planning 1 month at a time and have worked up to a 3 month rotating pantry on stuff from grocery store. I do have a full year of canned food from my garden. Hoping to get to a full year rotating pantry this year. I do worry about the world also. ❤
Perfect! You are doing great.
Hi Jessica and sweet family! Happy Birthday Kodi, hope you had a wonderful day. My sentiments exactly. I can’t forecast the future, but it doesn’t hurt to prepare just in case. If nothing happens, then I would have not lost anything.
I’m guess what the cost would be, maybe $225.00. This was just at the point you asked what the amount was. I hope you and your family have a blessed day!
It was already $450 at that point. It was all that dang meat!
Thank you so much for the kind words
@@modernhomesteadalaska I was way off, lol.
I have made Azure, Costco, and Sam's hauls over the past three years. I am pretty good on the pantry supplies. I need to stock up on some more meat. I am going to try to plant some veggies. I am waiting for the cold weather to leave Oklahoma! Ugh! (Of course, nothing near as cold as you guys! LOL!)
Love it! You are doing great!
I will be going to Costco this afternoon. I’m north California. Also have never seen cabbage at Costco. There seems to a better selection in Alaska. Prices are mostly the same. I am getting good tips for organizing and planning from you. Thank you.
That’s so funny someone else said the cabbage thing too. It’s strange what we can and can’t get. Happy shopping to you
We live in Kentucky and we’ve been worried actually for a while. Since early January, the prices of everything ,it seems, jumped drastically. I mean we have six in our home and I shop for us once a month, it’s a very tight budget. I really just don’t like going to the store anymore because the prices have yet to stabilize, they continue to rise, and that’s where the worry is. Seriously, how are people able to budget for their families when we aren’t sure what the prices will be when we get to the store?? That’s the uncertainty and the stress and worry and so every month we’re getting less and less food. We will definitely be fishing a lot, that’s at least one way we can try to gain some food security. Anyway, great video Jessica and have a blessed day and wishing Kodie a very happy birthday 🎉🎊
I have to tell you not being dramatic. But I honestly keep having panic attacks when shopping. I have to stop 1/2 way through and just breath. I don’t know if it’s I can’t take the prices so I have not gone back since the last video or if it’s the realization of the prices. Can’t say for sure. But it’s having a real very real devastating effect on people. Thank you for being here anyway.
I am from SE Kentucky and shop at Aldi. The prices are coming down. I got butter for $3.12 and eggs for $1.99? Was over $5 for butter and $4 for eggs last month. Nice to see that. I only have $100 a month for groceries
Thank you. We are in Western Australia, just coming out of a long dry summer. Butter here is $6/pound. We keep a stocked pantry that would see us through about 6 mths. I like the security.
I love to hear it! Way to go!
Located in Upstate New York and we keep a stock for several months. We were unprepared in the past when my husband was laid off due to the economy. We learned then how important it is to be prepared.
Oh yeah we just in the past year went through my husband switched jobs but went months without pay. Had we not started stocking before I don’t know how ugly it would of gotten for us. I’m in your camp. You just never know.
We went through a prolonged period of unemployment when my (now adult) kids were little. I was already storing staples so we were okay but my kids really wanted tortilla chips and yogurt, which is hard to store. It was really hard to tell them we were out every couple weeks.
It hard being a mom when struggling for sure, I’m impressed with you doing what you could before hand and doing the best you could through tough times.
I’m good for me, my adult kids, and grandkids. I am canning and dehydrating food as well. I have stocked up for 12 months as far as soaps etc. go. I was a single mom and have been doing it for years. Tax refund season was our stock up time. Cases of ramen, Mac n cheese, socks, undies, shoes for kids one size up. I’ve also lost my home in an earthquake, lost power for almost 2 weeks for a tornado, and been evacuated for fires. Always be prepared.
You rock!
You are doing some amazing things way to go!
My parents think I’m borderline craZy I put 4 five gallon buckets of oats rice beans and noodles in their spare closet with a tag that said only open in SHTF energy. It’s not much but it’s something
Lol I love it!!! You did what you could and it’s the reminder we deliver the message they take it or leave but at least we did our part! Way to go
Hi Jessica. I have a stocked pantry and a full freezer, I started caning last summer, and plan to do more this summer. I buy things on sale, and also have “ cheap” meals when needed in an emergency. That being said I do not panic or worry for several reasons. 1.. God said he would supply all my NEEDS according to His riches in Glory.. 2… in the book of psalms David said he has never seen the righteous forsaken nor His seed begging bread. I trust God’s promises 💕
Amen just beautiful
I am not concerned in the LEAST bit about the two bank "failures." it doesn't effect me at ALL. They're all still FDIC insured so no one lost anything. Mostly people causing panic and runs on banks for absolutely no reason.
Good good! I’m so happy you feel secure. It’s what I want everyone to feel. No matter how a person gets there. It’s a beautiful thing yo not have fear.
Sorry, but I'm praying for the moose! LOL
Thank you
Have you thought about making each member of your family a disaster preparedness backpack? Should contain a water bottle.enough shelf ready meals x 3 days,change of clothes x3 flashlight,books to read,handheld puzzles.sketch pad/crayons,paints,persona hygiene such as deodorant/comb/brush./ disposable
toothpaste and. floss etc
Mom/Dad - meds,first aid,tools,matches,-etc
Yes great point we do have emergency supplies per person. I have shared that in other videos.
I have about two months worth of food stocked in my freezers, daily pantry, and long term pantry. I shop every paid period for my family of 4. I alternate my paper and cleaning products every other trip in order to stay in my budget.
You are doing amazing way to go
I will admit, I am over stocked, but if things go south I will be very happy to help others. My biggest goal would be to help my 4 children and their families. 15 grandchildren is a lot of mouths to feed, but with the slow and steady process of stocking through the years I can truly help my family. Glad you stock but don't panic, that is the best way to do it.
I agree feed all the people. Way to go
Yes I love this!
I have been prepping for years, so I only have to replenish what we use and rotate through every few weeks. It took a long time to get to this point. We have at least a years worth of food stored. We may not always get to eat exactly what we want to if things get tough, but we won't go hungry.
This is amazing! Beautiful
😊
Wow, so glad we live where we do. I just bought 50 lbs of TX sweet onions and getting them in the freezer and dehydrated for $15.00. that's a years worth us.
Wish I were in Texas,being a born texsan I can smell and taste those onions. . Eat them like apples
Oh that’s wonderful
I do wish I had 12 weeks of menus! But I do have a well stocked pantry and freezers.
Oh that’s wonderful
I'll usually buy the best deal, but when it comes to butter-it's always Kerry Gold....I'm a butter snob...lol. Our larder is full- My pantry is a rotating pantry and I replace what we use weekly.
That’s such a perfect way. You always know what you have rotate and know how long you have food for. Love it
❤❤❤❤
One of the other channels I watch shows their grocery hauls and Azure hauls from the back of their truck. They are similar to your situation where their freezers and main storage are all in the basement. Just a thought.
Oh that’s cool! I love the idea! Maybe when the truck is not full of snow I’ll do that!
We are a family of four! In our household! That includes our Kimmy, my Service Queensland Heeler! We all buy extra dry goods ,,when we do our biweekly, monthly shopping! I have a Lil share Garden & I can & dry our foods ! Our other children also store & have there emergency food supplies! T.y for all ur kindness & love towards everyone 💖 The Share Garden in High Desert Cali!
That’s beautiful it take a family! I love to see and hear it!
today is 1 of our daughter then 2 more days another daughter's lol today making stuff porkchops asparagus n mash taters gravy n choc cake n yes all home made. I baked 2 loads if reg bread n will make that crusty bread u gave me recipe for
Oh yummy. Happy Birthdays
I would be interested in your 12 weeks of meals. Sounds like something I would like to do for us. Thanks.
Yeah it’s so easy recording now.
I have always had a stocked pantry for decades almost all of my life,.i grow my own food, and today is the first day of spring ,yet i have food growing inside waiting to go outside here in the south. I am good for a year, it didn't happen overnite.
I love it! You are sooooo right didn’t happen overnight we have been working on this specific pantry for a year. And 1000% realize we had funds todo I didn’t have even 4-5 years ago. I couldn’t of done what I hade done just a couple years ago. It’s a long game for sure. Thank you for sharing!
I love beans. I soak mine overnight and then cook low in beer.
Oh nice I have not tried that.
Here in France the food prices and energie prices keep going up. I like cooking and it's a big help, it's also a big help to have a good homested channel which shares nice recepies with us all. "War" is just one day away from us, I try not to think about it too much, but the european goverments don't stop kindle the fire instead of insisting on negociations .......... have a very nice day everyone and take care ! hugs from france
Oh wow my friend. I’m going to pray for you right now.
My husband and I probably have 2-3 months of frozen meat, etc. plenty of toilet paper. What I worry about are the daily prescription medication that both of us take. I try to be a good steward of what we have. I loved your video
Oh yeah o get that. I only get one month of scripts. I can totally understand
I have prepared a little at a time for quite some time through Azure Standard Monthly orders, and stocking up with Butcher Box. We have a woodstove in our garage for emergencies. But, honestly I don't let myself get into a fear mindset and have learned to just go with the flow. I certainly do not believe the military would let anyone starve that is not awake and hadn't stocked up.
You are doing amazing I love to hear it!
700 not bad!!
I agree it was higher then I wanted but when broken out not bad!

I'm in Orewa..Auckland..New Zealand.
Groceries and produce here at the moment is so expensive. Mainly because of the recent cyclone which wiped out the produce growing area here. Luckily we don't get snowed in like you but prices are awful. I've definitely cut back on meat and seafood. I home cook so save heaps
That’s so hard, it’s wild how much this issue is actually world wide. Not just one location or country.
i lived on my own and i have started to stock pile pantry items a little at at time... I am scare like you what might happen to our world... But even if it doesn't we have storms and fires to think about too...
I am with you 100% you just never know.
Just me. Live in lg city. I say with a wink, if bad happens my two cat's and one dog would eat better then me.
I shop at a Fred Meyer, close to my home, about once every couple of weeks. Have soups, frozen meals, get fresh organic veggies delivered once a month.
No garden, don't like meat, some chicken but do buy fresh frozen Alaskan salmon, cod, halibut twice a year from a family that comes to my town fron SE Alaska.
I'm retired out if Alaska and do miss the moose, caribou, fresh fish we had all the time.
Just not into cooking much either since my husband passed. You have a beautiful setup are young and living the dream that I lived with my family. ENJOY❤❤❤
Oh that’s beautiful. You know what you like and make it happen! Perfect!
I am single but I can feed my entire family within a two hour drive for 6 months. I only shop from my pantry. During Covid, I was able to provided so many goods/products that could not be found in stores to family and friends. It also allowed me to shop for others (example: spent two full days trying to buy formula for friends with little ones) knowing I was not trying to secure my own supplies. I am also a huge Azure user.
I aspire to be like you! Thank you for sharing and all the beautiful things you do
That is wonderful that you are so thoughtful to your family and others 👍😁
Although we always have a good pantry, last spring I started doing more long term storage including water.
Right now we in mexico for a few months so our long term storage is a little ways away. 😃
Oh nice I hope it’s a beautiful trip. I need to think more on water.great reminder
6 to 12 months. Hard to define when it is only one person. My mom told me once that I was the only of her children that would survive another depression.
That’s amazing. My moms are Jess says I’m the only one who takes it seriously so we are in the same camp
@Modern Homestead Alaska unfortunately I had some rough times that caused me to be very frugal. My son laughed the other day after telling he and his wife had made hamburger helper for the first time in years. He said it didn't taste right with all that meat in it. Stretch out that protein. Lol
