    I love this! It's another wholesome family saying, "Hey, it's ok to buy things from the store, to eat what you can, when you can. Sometimes during the busy seasons, just buy food, and enjoy the time together." Also I love to see what are some other options at Costco 😉. Thanks for another great video!

    Can you show your outdoor building pantry? I just had your video pop up and I clicked on it. I have considered doing that but how do you handle excessive heat or humidity with an outdoor building holding groceries?

    • @BetterTogetherLife
      @BetterTogetherLife  4 месяца назад

      Hi Jamie! Thanks for the comment and question.
      We might not have explained it well. We don’t have an “outdoor pantry”. We have an additional office space that has some storage that we use for our food storage.
      Sorry.

    I wish my town had a costco. We only have a Sam's. Nice haul. Amazing that it takes a thousand dollars today for what cost a hundred dollars 20 years ago. I wish my pay would have went up 10 fold over the past 20 years.

    There is another clean marinara sauce at Costco we started getting when Ras was bought out, it is Paesana brand. Ithnk it is just as good. We get the Seite chips for nachos because they are gluten free and fried in avocado oil, and joy, joy, they have sweet potato chips fried in avocado oil that are so good, like a kettle style chip. I love the Mateo salsa too. Since we are much older than ya'll and had health issues before we started eating clean, we do avoid seed oild and sugars. It has paid off big time in the last 2 years, I have lost 70 pounds and quit all my drugs store meds, no more BP pills, no more statins, (stroke in 2918), no more high colherestrol, no more prediabetes. my hubs lost 120 pounds and is off all his meds too. Feels great! I do grow a garden but we can't grow all the onions we eat so every month we get 3 bags of their sweet onions, I get their brand butter and organic half and half for my coffee. I also found a golden munk fruit sweetner that has a similar taste to brown sugar that I also love in my coffee. Do the best you can with what you have and buy the best of the rest! No shame!

    • @BetterTogetherLife
      @BetterTogetherLife  Месяц назад +1

      Oooo, we need to check out that other sauce!
      Yes, we do “like” the seite chips but the kids don’t love them. But we really like that company and get their smaller bags of flavored seite chips as special treats at our local grocery store. They have some YUMMY spicy chips! 😁

    life is about doing the things you love. I will continue to try to grow great vegetables instead of picking what makes more sense. I can grow and sell flower plants well enough that I can buy the greens and fruits. but I WANT to grow what I eat. I can bake bread but I love the sourdough from the supermarket so why bother. spend your time and energy where it matters.

    Will they really make there own corn chips,we shall see🤭.

    I guess it's social media that has brought homesteading up to a "prestige" way of living, all home grown, made from scratch. If you aren't not eating organically, then you are not doing what is healthy etc... I'm 59 and grew up on margarine, white bread, etc. I was probably 33 years old when I started thinking about food in a healthier way, like real butter, whole milk. Food that is grown organically, I just came aware of in the last few years and I see how beneficial that can be. But, I wouldn't sweat it, if you can't eat that way all of the time. Just do the best you can when you can.+

    I personally love canning but my garden skills suck. I purchase my vegetables and stuff from local farmers. I will get seconds and then can them. I have a local farmer that I get milk from and my cousin raises beef on grass and I get meat from her.
