I appreciate your time Miss Lynda in teaching lots of your listeners no matter what age where they live or what stage of life children or not that we can all become more frugal. I have spent this winter doing exactly this practice by saving my other half for my area homeless. I take meals once a week and this week I have made little jam jars full of coffee, coffee cake in mini loaf pans, and boiled eggs to share! All of us can improve each day a little small thing.
I used to buy mom the oatmeal from Sams Club in the 5-pound boxes, I tried for years and she said it was too much, then one day at the grocery store I pointed out how much she was spending for one 1 pound container and we started buying it at Sams, it comes in 2 bags and she dumped it into cereal keepers and it worked out great. Growing up mom always portioned out our meals and when you were done that was it, but before bed, we would have a slice of bread and butter or peanut butter and crackers with a juice glass of milk, we never went to bed hungry. Look at the serving sizes on the packages, no wonder most Americans are fat, most of us can cut our meals in half and we would be better off. Thank You for another great video.
New subscriber here and I appreciate your wisdom! 23 years ago my life changed dramatically from being a married homemaker with 2 young children to having my husband tell me after 20 years of marriage he no longer wanted to stay married. I was now on my own with a 5 year old and 12 year old to raise, but how? I had to return to school so that I could financially support my children. BUT during that year, we had so little food that I only got to eat two meals each week otherwise my kids wouldn’t have enough food. I drank plenty water to tide my over and somehow I got through that year living to tell others about it! I was so embarrassed to let anyone know that I was literally starving, but I learned how to ration food and not waste it! Times were very good for most others, but in my house we had just enough money to keep the basics going and food on the table. We all will benefit from hard times such as these today and appreciate better time when they come again. Thank you for your channel!
Lynn I have really been enjoying your channel. You are very humble. I love how you do you and don't have to explain yourself. Thank you for all your encouragement to so many. Blessings to you and your family!!
Thank you, great advice 😏👍🏻❤ I know I had to quit listening to some peoples channels just because they was making me so anxious and afraid. I know God has put your channel in my life to calm my emotions in check. Thanks for sharing and God Bless 🙏🏻❤😊
I understand about fear and anxiety🤪 I have to keep myself in check all the time that I do not allow myself to go there. And I truly feel that breathing and staying calm and thinking rationally will help us get through situations like this. Thank you so much for sharing your heart♥️
My dear friend Toni… I’m so glad this was helpful to you. I have been in many moments myself where I had to breathe and remind myself to breathe and then remind myself to breathe once again and to remember it’s only for this time. Not forever.
I agree that portion control is key. Jill, Tawra's mom on Living on a Dime to Grow Rich is always saying that also. Look on your food labels if you don't know what a serving size is.
The first foods I would buy would be rice, pasta and beans. Next I would add soups: chunky soup can be served over rice and cream soups are a base for casseroles. Then I would add several kinds of canned meat: tuna, hash, chili, chicken, spam, etc.. After i I had a good supply of these items for main dishes, then I would add canned veggies, spices, baking supplies, cooking oil, shelf stable milk, etc.
❣️ love this. One thing I keep on hand is different types of lentil. I use them in place of hamburger in chili, pasta sauce and taco filler .... or in addition to bulk it up.
Great tip… So you mentioned you use different types of lentils. I’ve ever only use the brown lentils what would you recommend using the red ones and I believe there’s also yellow ones for? Is there a difference in the taste? Just curious for myself since I’ve never use the other colors.
@@allthinghomewithlynn Brown lentils are best used as ground meat replacement as they hold their shape. Also good in salads etc. yellow lentils are a bit softer and tend to be creamy in their finish- especially if they are split . Red lentils really cook up the creamiest….IMO Similar in taste, different in texture, depending on how cooked and for how long. There are also small green French lentils (du puy) and red… tend to be pricier Hope this helps.
I freeze leftover mashed potatoes and use them to thicken my stew, potato or bean soup. Just dump them in frozen just before soup is done. Some much better then flour and water.
I just made a can of corn beef and some left over cabbage and a few potatoes I needed to use up and added onion and garlic and tomato sauce and some bullion and put it over rice it was absolutely delicious. My grandma called it poor mans food and it taste like a gourmet meal. I’m so full from a very small portion and I have plenty left over for the next few days and I’ll give a plate to my daughter and son in law so she doesn’t have to cook tonight. 😉♥️👍🏻
Oh my… That sounds so yummy. Do you have a particular brand of canned Corn beef that you prefer? Just curious for myself… I love corn beef but I haven’t found a canned version that I like a whole lot as of yet.
Some folks are homebound or bed ridden and can't get to food banks or church pantries.. There are also folks that don't have internet service or phones. What would you suggest for them? Especially if they don't have anyone who checks on on them either.. Thanks for this video
Oh that’s a tough one… I can’t imagine being in that position with no one to help. I guess I would suggest the opposite of them reaching out to someone is that we all who are able to buy things, go to food banks and/or check up on our friends should be doing that. In that case I would say it needs to be the reverse and we who are capable should be looking out for our fellow neighbor indoor friends to see how we can be helping them.
Maybe you can help them by contacting 211 with them. That number 211 will put them in touch with the local service and help, plus church groups. There are programs that will deliver food to home bound seniors or disabled.
Great ideas Lynn, I would add oatmeal, and if they have Aldi in their area basic spices are under a$1.00. canned fruit are under 70 cents and canned veggies are 54 to 69 cents. For those folks in the south, grits would be on the list as well. (I know, some folks in the north like grits too LOL) Thanks for always sharing great ideas and ways to stretch the dollar. It is probably more necessary now than it has been for most of our lives. Have a Blessed day.
You know I was going to add oatmeal and canned fruit and then I hesitated because I didn’t want it to seem too expensive if you’re doing your basic one for $10. But I think I need to do a follow up to this anyway because it was a few other things I thought of after the fact so I’m going to add things such as oatmeal, grits, lentils and canned fruit as well as spices. Thanks so much for always sharing some great information.
Thank you Lynn. This topic bears reminding often. When I was a kid there was a long stretch of time we ate government surplus beef over mashed potatoes. Salty and fatty. But, we survived. I remember how excited we were the night a local couple from their mom and pop shop came to your house with boxes of groceries. We kids were jumping up and down ! Kind hearts. We can be those people now. Just went to a Spring Festival last weekend with $2 / or 3 food items donation for admission.. The food is going to the free fridges in town.
I would suggest beans,and oatmeal ,potatoes,cornmeal Dollar tree also has shelf stable milks or evaporated milk,both you can do alot with them and they are cheap and can be stretched out along with what your basic list is lynn to really make alot of meals.I raised a family with 6 children we lived on little as possible things were really tight back then.But my children are greatful and know all the skills of being very frugal with what they have to this day in there own families and children. I hope these suggestions helps someone you can make bean burgers,refried beans,a pot of beans and potatoes.
Good points about portion size. Using smaller plates would help since the dinner plates today hold about 2 times as much food compared to the dinner plates of 50 or 60 years ago.
You’re absolutely right some of the dinner plates that we’ve had over the years and that I see in the stores are humongous. If you’re not thinking about it and you feel the plate you’ve taken way more food than you need.
I've done this with my son (myself included, since It's just the 2 of us). My son suffered with failure to thrive for the first 5 years of his life and then all of a sudden, he gained 40 lbs within a 6 week period and has not stopped putting on weight since..it turns out that he has Pradder- Willie's syndrome...ugh. I can't even begin to tell you how difficult its been to manage this... anyway, I started using the smaller plates and it seemed to work for awhile... now though, not as much. He will find food, eat while I'm asleep, etc...I actually had to buy a garbage disposal to keep him from eating old food out of the trash can... I still use the smaller plates tho..
Oh my… You brought back memories. With autism especially in younger kids they are so literal if the kitchen table is where you eat food off of that means anything on it you can eat. Needless to say we had many situation where we almost ran into problems because of things left on the kitchen table. Myself and husband and older son knew better but my youngest did not. Autism has taught me a lot.
You know they’re not very popular in our area. We had one about 45 minutes away and they shut down. I wish we had more opportunities of that in our area.
We’re in one of those “seasons” - no $$ for breakfast or lunch. Only dinner and bananas or crackers for a snack if we’re lucky that week. Wish our food banks and church pantry had safe food for us (all family members have allergies & special diets for health reasons and none of the food they offer is safe). Hoping this doesn’t last long or that people will help us. When we were affluent we always helped. Funny how no one wants to reciprocate 😢
I've been wanting to plant certain items in different containers that I can keep in different spots on the ramp. Chronic pain stops me from a traditional garden. I'm just not sure if I'm going to be able to do it this year
Because I’m limited for various reasons last year I did Rubbermaid tubs and I planted in them and it worked out fairly well. This year I saw people use gallon milk jugs and cut part of it out and just kept it so that you could have a handle on it and move it from place to place. I’m going to be doing that this year as well as the Rubbermaid bins again. The bins have to stay stationary because they are heavy but I only have three of those were the other things I’m going to use were there portable.
I hadn’t thought of doing that but I certainly can… I’ll actually be putting my garden seeds together this week so I can start that ball rolling and get a quick video put together.
Check out Robbie and Garys channel, I have learned so much and I'm going to try to grow in cardboard boxes, they only need to last a few months, I am so excited to give this a try.
I love the Temptations dinnerware and I absolutely love the green. Unfortunately when we moved the hutch we were a little overzealous and I lost three pieces.
As of late I've found we've stocked up on cream of mushroom soup do to mom love it when I slow cook roast or any other meat then mix in the soup and onion. She can eat on that for days 😋
I think that’s where I’m falling short right now… I’m overloaded on many items and there’s a few things I’m under load is done. Got to get it balanced out😎
It's a cardboard box with plastic bag in it. Holes for drainage. Fill with soil. Plant your potato/pieces with eyes in it. Very diluted fertilizer. Can try same with carrot seed. But germinate in trash plastic containers. Lettuce heads, can sometimes restart . Thin slice off root, rusty part where it has been cut and the oxy has gotten to it. Then take off 80% of your salad green. Put in a temporary container, damp soil. Very diluted fert. Same for green onions, celery stalk(?). YT is great. DIY container gardening.
Hi, Lynn. No judgment on my part, but I was wondering about the viewer who said moving her pantry was too overwhelming. I don’t understand. If she’s packing anyway, what was the problem? Again, no judgement, just…confusion, I suppose? Thank you for sharing. Blessed be!🙏🏽
I don’t know the full extent of her details… But I can only imagine just trying to pack all the food up in addition to everything else was maybe just a lot for her. It might’ve been also going from one place to another and there was just not enough room for all the additional food. There was More than one viewers it has said this throughout a couple of the videos.
Mrs.Lynn we are in the process of packing to move my huge pantries make up the bulk of what we have it is becoming a bit of a headache but I know we will need it for our family of 7 thanks for another great video❤
We use to eat a lot of cheap meals during hard times. I could list several. Some we still eat on a regular basis even though we can afford more things now. Back then we were a family of 3 living on $150 for 2 weeks and that included any household items or personal care items. My husband was to proud to ask for or let me ask for any help of any kind so I made it stretch. We ate bologna sandwiches almost daily. I hate them now but if it came to it I would eat them again. My current fear with shortages is for my daughter she is autistic and has severe texture issues with food. She will starve. We have tried to starve her out to get her to eat different things. Nope she broke me. I gave in after 48 hours. Almost everything she eats is cheese related or like a potato product. The only thing I can stockpile that she will eat is mac and cheese. If anyone has any suggestions on shelf stable cheese please let me know. I looked into the freeze dried cheese but it's so expensive. I'm sure most of us know cheap meals but maybe we could get a thread going so everyone list their favorites and basic instructions so we can compare and get ideas. I'm from Arkansas so all I know is country cooking.
I totally understand about special needs and special diets and special foods! We dealt with this for years and years. We tried introducing food in every which way possible and there was no way he was having it. I can tell you the first thing and the only thing that has made a difference is re-enrolled him in a cooking class. I told him he didn’t have to eat anything he made but I wanted him to at least learn how to cook. Through that after two years of a class he is now trying things that I am shocked at. We are certainly not a entrepreneur a Food… But he is definitely changed his pallet. I would love to see you thread get started on cheap meals during hard times.
Shania Hinds my 12 yr old daughter is also autistic one of the best things I found is called food chaining, you add a small bit of a new food that is like a favorite food- texture and/or color. I started with her mashed potatoes and added a mashed cauliflower the following month I tried a mashed carrot. She likes mac and cheese, I have to cook noodles extra soft, I tried a different shaped noodle, and then another time switched out the cheese for a homemade white sauce, another time a butter sauce
I have picked up liquid Velveeta from DG in the foil packets, you don't need to use the whole packet, just squeeze a little over the pasta and mix, Creameet is .88 a box at County Market if you have their card, you don't need to buy the Mac and Cheese together, buy it separately, plus I always boiled some extra elbow mac because a packet was to much cheese for the amount of pasta they have in the box, I have saved a lot of money that way plus I don't have to use milk and butter. Does she like cheese whiz? You can freeze cheese. It is difficult to handle people with texture sensitivity, I am one of those people, there is just food I cannot put in my mouth, like cooked oatmeal, I gag every time and I'm almost 60 years old.
Valetta cheese in the big rectangle box is shelf stable until you open it and refrigerate. Make sure she will like it before you stock up. It's good on crackers and grilled cheese sandwich.
@@32Donna Do you know if once it's opened, does it freeze well? Those are pretty large blocks of cheese and I would break them up into 1 pound pieces and freeze if that is the case.

@@allthinghomewithlynn I use the red and greenish brown ones.
P.s. I find they taste pretty much the same.
To my taste buds, the brown lentils always have a spicy sausage taste.
Bet they could be mixed with sausage meat to extend it.
@@allthinghomewithlynn Brown lentils are best used as ground meat replacement as they hold their shape.
Also good in salads etc. yellow lentils are a bit softer and tend to be creamy in their finish- especially if they are split .
Red lentils really cook up the creamiest….IMO
Similar in taste, different in texture, depending on how cooked and for how long.
There are also small green French lentils (du puy) and red… tend to be pricier

As Americans we do overeat. I use a small plate and still overeat. 1 or 2 cans, or items is a start on a full pantry.

@@JC-rl1vd Agreed 100% I am moving mine for the 3rd time in a year
Mrs.Lynn we are in the process of packing to move my huge pantries make up the bulk of what we have it is becoming a bit of a headache but I know we will need it for our family of 7 thanks for another great video❤
Oh boy sounds like you have a huge task ahead of you. But I definitely agree a good Pantry as well needed for yourself and or your family.
I just love you my stockpile ish but I don't go without I don't ask for help I just have to work harder love to all
We use to eat a lot of cheap meals during hard times. I could list several. Some we still eat on a regular basis even though we can afford more things now. Back then we were a family of 3 living on $150 for 2 weeks and that included any household items or personal care items. My husband was to proud to ask for or let me ask for any help of any kind so I
made it stretch. We ate bologna sandwiches almost daily. I hate them now but if it came to it I would eat them again. My current fear with shortages is for my daughter she is autistic and has severe texture issues with food. She will starve. We have tried to starve her out to get her to eat different things. Nope she broke me. I gave in after 48 hours. Almost everything she eats is cheese related or like a potato product. The only thing I can stockpile that she will eat is mac and cheese. If anyone has any suggestions on shelf stable cheese please let me know. I looked into the freeze dried cheese but it's so expensive.
I'm sure most of us know cheap meals but maybe we could get a thread going so everyone list their favorites and basic instructions so we can compare and get ideas. I'm from Arkansas so all I know is country cooking.
I totally understand about special needs and special diets and special foods! We dealt with this for years and years. We tried introducing food in every which way possible and there was no way he was having it. I can tell you the first thing and the only thing that has made a difference is re-enrolled him in a cooking class. I told him he didn’t have to eat anything he made but I wanted him to at least learn how to cook. Through that after two years of a class he is now trying things that I am shocked at. We are certainly not a entrepreneur a Food… But he is definitely changed his pallet. I would love to see you thread get started on cheap meals during hard times.
Shania Hinds my 12 yr old daughter is also autistic one of the best things I found is called food chaining, you add a small bit of a new food that is like a favorite food- texture and/or color. I started with her mashed potatoes and added a mashed cauliflower the following month I tried a mashed carrot. She likes mac and cheese, I have to cook noodles extra soft, I tried a different shaped noodle, and then another time switched out the cheese for a homemade white sauce, another time a butter sauce
I have picked up liquid Velveeta from DG in the foil packets, you don't need to use the whole packet, just squeeze a little over the pasta and mix, Creameet is .88 a box at County Market if you have their card, you don't need to buy the Mac and Cheese together, buy it separately, plus I always boiled some extra elbow mac because a packet was to much cheese for the amount of pasta they have in the box, I have saved a lot of money that way plus I don't have to use milk and butter. Does she like cheese whiz? You can freeze cheese. It is difficult to handle people with texture sensitivity, I am one of those people, there is just food I cannot put in my mouth, like cooked oatmeal, I gag every time and I'm almost 60 years old.
Valetta cheese in the big rectangle box is shelf stable until you open it and refrigerate. Make sure she will like it before you stock up. It's good on crackers and grilled cheese sandwich.
@@32Donna Do you know if once it's opened, does it freeze well? Those are pretty large blocks of cheese and I would break them up into 1 pound pieces and freeze if that is the case.
A good place to get mumber 10 cans of food is the latter day Saint cannery. They are very reasonable. On prices.
