This is what I love here. Being frugal, homemaking and preparing. It’s not the only parts of my life but those things help me to enjoy the more expensive things I love like trips to the beach and the mountains. Valerie in SC
Btw. I do NOT have a premium version/an upgraded version of RUclips, and I have never been overwhelmed by ads / by commercials. So I am not familiar with the situation that people comment on here? or else where? concerning RUclips. Thank you for sharing some of your time with us, Kate.
The depression book looks like something I would love. “We had everything but money” Reminds me of my great parents who went through it. My mom until this day keeps a really full cupboard because of their life example. It’s so lovely to see so much open space up where you are. They keep knocking down strip malls and putting on condos. It’s very compacted down south. Walking in your town with no people and pigeons is awesome. I’m all about no people. I love your porch! I’m watching these videos all out of order😂 I like you so much I sit through the commercials. ❤
Another wonderful video! We got one of those compost containers when our garbage company started accepting food scraps . We would put the food scraps in the container then place it on a trash can for pickup. We now are putting all food scraps in the green waste container which I prefer. Once a year you can get I think two free bags of compost.
I think it is great you and Bali have committed to paying off the mortgage. And that you are talking about it on the channel. You will inspire others to do it and to quit being in debt. I am going to do a no spend January and February to get my budget back on track after all the birthdays and the holidays.
Hi Kate! Catching up in these wonderful videos! You truly inspire me We have a full pantry, frig and freezer, and my plan is to use what we have (plenty!) before grocery shopping at all. Also not planning on buying anything other than food and necessities (shouldn’t need t/p as we also have a bidet, stocked up well on toothpaste, soaps, etc)… I had already told you I purchased the vacuum/carpet cleaner on Black Friday and I love it! Bought myself some new phone chargers ($.34 for two with my cash back on the vacuum!), new pots and pans ( also Black Friday sale), and need nothing. Just plan on paying down these stupid nagging credit cards in 2025. Thank you for sharing your life with us Enjoy it so much Hi from SC😊💕🏝️
Love going to the Asian markets. I have a couple of those bowls and those steamer baskets are nice too. The hummingbird that visits me ever leaves. I see him all Winter.
I don't mind the commercials, Kate. I lived in the Greater Sacramento area for a lot of years. I left CA in 2019. I miss the area and I miss WINCO. We usually shopped at the one in Roseville. We went to the one in Antelope and the one in Orangevale a view times. I didn't have as much luck at Grocery Outlet as you do. The dish you put your hand on was so pretty. I had some blue and white dishes when I lived in the Sacramento area and a friend gave me a couple here. I finished my popcorn shortly before you said to get your popcorn.
Good morning Kate I am roasting a turkey. Going to make many meals one thing is shred turkey add rice and cook dried blackbeans and salsa but in a wrap yummo. If you have shredded cheese that's good too on top. So many things to make at home and good not added stuff.
I appreciate your content and all the hard work that goes into producing these videos, I am grateful you share your life with all of us. Buy a book, coffee or watch the commercials, it's a low effort way we can demonstrate support for your efforts!
So smart to have the fertilizer spread and ready for the winter rains. Doesn't it feel good to live with the seasons? Paying off the mortgage sounds like the best plan.
I find it soooo hard to shop local. I think I'm spoiled to the vast options online. If you can imagine it Amazon probably has it! Gone are the days of being g satisfied by a handful of retail stores. I'm addicted to instant gratification! 😩
Sam is getting to be such a young man! I remember him when you lived in the blue house, and he is so grown up now. And how is Mariaha (sp)doing? Peace to everyone 😊
@@CoffeeWithKate4ahhh..isn't it lovely? They reach an age where you can actually go to the bathroom without them on your heels.. too bad they literally all but abandon us at this stage 😂
I really hadn't noticed more commercials than normal and I am on RUclips ALL the time. Seriously. I also let them run as much as I can b/c I know it helps the creators I'm following and it seems like that's the very least I can do since they're spending their time and energy to create content for me to enjoy and learn from. 🤷🏼♀
@@CoffeeWithKate4 Not yet. I took such a long break and am only just getting back into it so it's a growing process. Right now it does seem true that tiny channels are getting more reach than before, so I'm hopeful it won't take too long.
I could not agree more with your purchasing plans. I want local equal trade folks to have my money. And, this year must be frugal. creative. and as frugal and interesting as I can imagine. Each day I want to plan my food and tasks for the day, complete thw work, and then engage in something uplifting, enjoyable, and productive as possible and think of little else. I have some reading, indoor gardening goals, knitting. and, of course a ton of reading. And, I am determined to be happy nd positive despite what is happening in the country and world.

Winco is employee owned, it's a good grocery store to support.
I agree, thank you for confirming that.
Don’t be scared, be prepared. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

Hi from SC😊💕🏝️

Us too! We go every couple of months and stock up. Local owners/small business too!😊💕🥡🥢🥠🍲
I am happy you are making money to pay off your mortgage and if I have to watch the commercials that’s fine by me.
After Christmas the commercials calm down for all of us.

This is one of the best Grocery Outlets around. They are rarely great in the produce department. Or with specialty items.
Good morning Kate I am roasting a turkey. Going to make many meals one thing is shred turkey add rice and cook dried blackbeans and salsa but in a wrap yummo. If you have shredded cheese that's good too on top. So many things to make at home and good not added stuff.
Turkey, 🦃 the bird that feeds for days.
Oh I did the same last night. I can’t wait to stretch that turkey 🤣

BTW I'm in your commercials I just prance around ...Who cares
Blessings to you ✨️
Bring it 💥
I too am committed to paying the mortgage down in 2025 as well as increasing my emergency savings. Good goals
Good morning ❤

Really enjoying your videos
I am glad you are.❤️

Mariah is thriving and having a full life, but doesn’t go anywhere with us anymore, is entering teen land and doesn’t want to be filmed.

Please don't complain. I'm loving your content. I love to put Kate on while I cook . Let them play 🤷♀️❤

Perfect 🤩 if we do this, follow this formula, we will have a good year/years despite what is happening out there.
