Fun fact about Aldi and Trader Joe: Aldi was founded by two German brothers who then got in a fight and because of that we have Aldi North and Aldi south in Germany. Now Aldi South opened Aldi in the US und Aldi North opened Trader Joe’s. 😊 But it’s basically all Aldi
Explains why aldi brand doesn't use bad stuff
Interesting
Aldi was already in the US in the 80"s and it was almost the first that I saw when I got to Ky.
Thanks for the interesting information.
@@mariedeyo7399 Wow, that’s pretty early given that Aldi was only founded in 1961 in Essen, Germany. 😲
Idk if anyone else feels this way.. sometimes I feel silly watching you do the things I hate doing! Grocery shopping and house cleaning! But it’s therapeutic watching you do it lol.
😆😆🤭🤭🤭
So true
Hey Becky!!🥰
I'm just thinking maybe Becky could come over to my place to clean & organize 😉
@@indecisivegardener best idea lol!!
Becky i also love grocery shopping my niece told me she never knew anyone who got excited about grocery shopping. I loved being a homemaker. When my kids were young they helped me grocery shop. My boys were better shoppers than thier wife's, even ironing for their wives. Being raised in a family of 10 you learn a lot. I love your enthusiasm in all you do, if you love whatever you do it's not a job you make life a joy. ALOHA
The magnesium that helps with sleep is magnesium glycinate.
I have been taking it for months with no improvement …. But every one is different and Becky a suggestion from me might be NO caffeine after 2 pm … I did that years ago. Glenda
Cal-Mag is also good.
Yes, I spelled it wrong. Lol
I take Ambien. Takes care of sleep immediately with no side effects for me. 💤💤💤
Yes, the one in the Trader Joe’s was Magnesium Oxide, not the best to take. Go with glycinate/bisglycinate or citrate.
Since you have a seed starting setup, you have what you need for winter salads. I grow lettuce and patio tomatoes under my seed starting grow lights. Fresh salad year round!
Hey Becky I made your garlic pull apart bread yesterday and it was great and gave me the confidence to make more breads for the first time. Thank you!
I just got a COSTCO membership..your videos inspire me a! My son is a chef professionally…he just turned me on to Skordo for spices… we are in New England and they’re located in Maine but the do ship. I’m not affiliated with them in any way but think you will love browsing their unique selection. The husband and wife source everything..very global.
Hi Becky. I don’t know how I found you on RUclips, but you have been such an inspiration to me. I’ve been hospitalized for almost 6 weeks after having emergency bowel surgery and a lot of complications that have followed. I’ve had NG tubes with no food or drink for weeks. You have pretty much been keeping me going these last several weeks! I haven’t grocery shopped or cooked in over 20 years after my first spine surgery because I haven’t been able to stand long enough to do prep work. I also have had a lousy diet the past 17 years after becoming 100% disabled. However, you have inspired me to want to start cooking again and creating a garden for myself. I can’t wait to feel better and get discharged so I can begin planting the seeds I purchased to prepare for my summer garden! I can’t thank you enough as I feel so rejuvenated when I watch you. Granted you are probably 30 years younger than I, but I haven’t looked so forward to cooking and eating what’s good for me in so, so long! I can’t thank you enough.
God bless you what a struggle praying
Becky I have used freeze dryer strawberries in frosting to flavor and tint. Works like a dream. I just used my ninja to make it into dust and added to my buttercream.
Yes, freeze dried fruit is fantastic for flavoring and coloring frosting. I used a spice grinder to turn it into dust.
JUst an FYI...Fennel tea is GREAT for an upset tummy with the littles. It's all I used for my son when he was little and 25 yrs later, we still use it when our stomachs get upset. Ginger is also great but fennel is amazing! A tsp of seed steeped to a medium strength tea in water is fantastic.
I love shopping and cooking with you!! Found your channel about 2 months ago and have even gone back to watch some of your older videos. I was so surprised when you posted about your recent trip to North Carolina…wishing I could have met you in person. I’m now also watching a lot of Hollar Homestead. I’m not even close to being a homesteader but I cannot get enough of yours and Hollar Homestead’s videos! You amaze me with everything you do!
I'm excited for what's coming up the next two weeks!
Also.. I'd sit and watch paint dry with Becky. I just love her presence and energy ❤
I grew 15 shishito pepper plants last year. They were very productive, no pests or disease and even drought and heat resistant here in Texas. One in 10 peppers was very spicy and the rest were very mild. I made a salsa with them and it was very mild, but so flavorful. It has become a family favorite. Good luck with your plants.
I grew one plant in Indiana. Grew well and tasted great!!
I paid a fortune to order a couple pounds of them. I tried EVERYTHING to make the big deal with blistered shishitos. Total fail. I don’t get it. I didn’t like them or I did it all wrong. I didn’t even like ONE of the five or six sauces everyone raved about, either.
I feel gaslit. 😂😂😂
@@drummerlovesbookworm9738 sorry, I made my salsa with roasted tomatoes, onions, garlic, shishito, and cilantro. Some batches I added extra jalapeno for more kick. They were good.
@@drummerlovesbookworm9738 I agree. They produced well, but I thought they had no flavor. The aoli I made was good, but not enough for me to grow them again. Glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't get it, lol.
Hope you have a spot picked out for that monstera. Mine was about 30" when I bought it three years ago. It's now over 7' and, apparently, loving an east-facing window.🌞
I was feeling down this afternoon and then you posted! You're so much like getting a letter from a friend. Your kindness and authenticity come across so gently that it eases a tender heart. ❤❤❤
17:30 😂😂😂😂😂😂 my brain! 🐿️❤❤❤
That was so sweet! Yes, she is!❤
It was fun to watch you shop. I’m an American living in France and our stores are so different!
Girl, you and me were on the same search… I was looking for valentines boxes like the ones I had for Christmas… I have done the Christmas boxes the past two years from there (Dollar tree) and I did look for some valentine themed ones. I am taking note of your Amazon find for the white boxes… Great for all year long and just use different types of paper inside for the theme of the holiday! Thank you Becky!!!
I buy bakery boxes for my treats and then I use themed tissue paper, bows and cupcake liners to pack the treats.
The crispy onion chips are great on a salad instead of croutons.
You are amazing! I just love watching your videos. We had a large garden as a kid in the 60's and 70's. We did all the canning and fruit preserves. Nothing like it! Great job Becky and Josh!❤
Hi from England. I have green fingers when it comes to growing things outside but inside plants was the kiss of death and I could never understand why. My husband is into Bonsai growing big time he has over 200 of them. One of my sons is also into them. It was only watching someone on RUclips that helped me and she saves the water from when she rinses the rice because it needs to be rinsed twice. She fills to big jars and uses them to water her house plants. I was sceptical at first but I now have a thriving lemon, chili, and coffee plant and others and they all now bare fruit. I do love your channel and we don;t have trader joes and you can only go into Costco if you are lucky enough to have one if your in business which is not fair.
I just saw this tip today on another FB post! I'm going to try it asap!
Becky next garden season after you dehydrate tomatoes, you should make your own shelf stable sun dried tomatoes in oil. Luke from Migardener has a video on this. i made a bunch of jars of it this last summer and they are amazing..its a water bath canning recipe.
Add a ♥ sticker to seal the boxes shut. Makes your packaging a little special
That's so cute gesture.
Almost all of my spices come from the bulk bins ! They restock very frequently so I think they are very fresh and yea you can save sooooo much even buying their spice bottles saves you ! Glenda
WOW Becky that color pink looks great on you. You look like a breath of fresh air or spring 🌷. So glad you guys made it through the water issues and pantry challenge. Congratulations 🎈
I also love trader Joe's. We had 64 degree weather here on CO. Last week and yesterday it snowed a foot. Up and down all the time. Thanks Becky
You can also check Michael's for gift boxes or even United Grocers for actual bakery boxes in bulk.. Also, if you like the Shishito peppers, save some of the seeds from the pack you bought, and plant those.
Becky, three years ago I grew Burpee's "Early Treat" tomatoes and I will continue to grow them forever!!! They are a large cherry variety that is prolific and has excellent flavor.
I hope you can tind the seeds and are able to try growing them in your garden.
Congratulations on a great pantry challenge! When you record this years recipes etc, be sure and make a note about the added roadblock of no water. Cant believe you worked thru that one. Now onto Costco!
Thanks for the tip!
Always enjoy shopping along with you and seeing what’s new out there ! 😊
Hi. You could always put stickers or a themed bow on the bakery boxes!
Valentines idea- get a Dollar store small shovel- wrap cellophane around the shovel filled w candies and a card saying “I dig you.”
So cute 😊
Cute idea
I made your lard flour tortillas yesterday and they were delicious. The softness of the dough just made we want to keep handling it. I’ll try the corn ones next time but tomorrow I’m making pita bread. Have you made this before? If mine turns out, I’ll share the recipe❤. Love your channel. Love the idea of Valentine gifts. I’m going to do that too. We will combine Super Bowl Sunday with Valentine treats with the kids and grandkids. Thank you again for all you do. ❤️❤️
Yay! I love your shopping videos. This was great, thanks Becky!
My husband got those same boxes for his Christmas cookies last Christmas. They worked out really well and he even mailed some to his cousin. Didn't get damaged at all.
Warmed my heart to see you grab that Monstera w/o hesitation! I love my "swiss"....it is my favorite houseplant now. It is outside my livingroom window under a huge tree for most of the year. Everyone compliments her huge leaves. Happy houseplant day!
I love your videos. Becky, there are apps for your phone that are great shopping lists. You can put in the price, and if it's taxable and you have a pretty good estimate of your cost before the checkout stand. Best of all, you don't lose the list.
Becky, try growing cilantro on a windows sill or in your sun room when it'sto hot to growit outside. I have hot dry summers, and growing it indoors allows me to have it when my tomatoes are ripe. I grow it outdoors the rest of the year.
I can't go to Trader Joe's because I physically CANNOT stick to a list 😂
They have so many good things!!
You're not supposed to take a list to Trader Joe's. It tells you what you need 😂
I can’t stick to a list no matter what 😂
Ha, i bet. We don’t have one yet, ut it’s coming, as they added a distribution center about 5 Mike’s away. We are getting Costco on Feb 22 or so. Huge too, now we need TraderHies. I have your same problem at Home goods, just ask my hubby! Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My chickens started laying again back in the beginning of January, which I was surprised. I’ve been getting an average of about 8 to 10 eggs a day right now. I also water glass a couple dozen just in case that’s a fluke. I only have 18 chickens.
Ribbon is a fun touch to make it defined as whatever holiday it is!
I went to Costco yesterday (Saturday) for one item. The parking lot was totally full. I had to search for a parking spot. I will definitely shop during the week next time. Crazy busy.
We went early, like literally when they opened. It wasn’t too bad when we got there but as we were ready to leave it got super busy
In our area, we have learned that the first Saturday or weekend of the month is the busiest and avoid going then.
Wild Frozen shrimp is fresher as it is flash frozen on the boat!
Hi Becky, I enjoyed your video today. I can’t wait to see what you are doing for Valentine’s Day. I also wanted to thank you for shortening the time on the advertisements. It is so much easier to sit through the shorter times. I really appreciate that you obviously read your comments. Thanks again!🤗
I never like shop with me videos on RUclips but I really enjoyed this! Thanks for taking us along Becky!
Happy I found your channel!! Its been 50 here all week in Wisconsin ❤ much love to you
I buy the crispy onions at the grocery store and I use them for breading on my chicken. It’s delicious.
My mom ordered the large greenhouse and it will be here tomorrow! So excited ❤ They lost everything to a massive house fire last spring so I am rejoicing that they are both still with us.
I am still in pantry challenge and we had an emergency last night with our dog. HUGE bill so I’m glad we can skip the grocery for now.
I love your channel. You do a great job. Just wanted to say it was nice to see you in the color rather than black, white or gray looked good on you.
Onion chips are a yes !!
I’d put them on a baked Mac and cheese! ( after the oven )
Sounds delicious
Bananas in Australia cost $6.50 in big shop and around $3.50 in vegetable shop. I paid $.019c 43 years ago.🌞
Becky, pretty sure that plant you got is a Monstera. I'm not sure which one, but you're going to need to support it with a pole or moss pole. Just something to plan for in future
That was fun thanks for sharing 😊 one thing about fennel, it's nice to mix it with sugar lumps as pallet clenser, breath freshner after meals, and I enjoy it grounded and added to coleslaw, a little bit goes along way, adds liquoricey flavor to it 😋
Becky good job on sticking to your grocery list. I hate grocery shopping but I do love Trader Joe’s. You are so good at talking yourself out of buying the things you really don’t need, wish I were better at that. We don’t have the nice choice of stores to shop in like you do as we are a little tiny small country town, I envy you there.
Hey Becky! Just a suggestion about the chicken wings…check the size of the wings. The ones I buy from the bulk store are way smaller than the ones I get from the regular grocery store. Chicken wings tend to shrink as they cook. 😊 Love your videos! 🙂
Thank You Becky for taking us shopping with you, all my favorite grocery stores😃
Joann’s would probably have the boxes you’re looking for they usually have everything!
You should price what you need and see if it’s cheaper to build it your self. They always make greenhouse higher in price than what you can build them for.
That was so much fun Becky, you’re so funny😀🙏🏽 Looking forward to the cookies and candy extravaganza because I maybe just do the same for my love ones.
Becky, When looking for boxes for cakes or cookies look in the wedding/party section of Walmart or Hobby Lobby. I've found all kinds that were worth while. I lobe shopping as well, when the stores are not so busy. Usually I'll go bright and early.
I got those Amazon boxes for Christmas baking (in white) they work so well! Very good deal. I have enough to last a few years!
Hi
Happy new year
Happy Valentine’s Day
Thanks for the tip of bakery boxes
I never knew these boxes were available.
I see you keep your raw milk on shelf inside the door.
Did you know the door of refer is the warmest temp inside refer.
You might want to move your milk closer to the back wall of refer. Or not
I love your shopping trips, I am disabled and I don’t get out much.
Becky had to chuckle when you were in Costco, I don't need much oh look candles. Homemade chicken wings are the best.
Cilantro loves cooler weather. It's easier to grow before the heat of the summer.
Hi Becky. Walmart also sells those bakery boxes, however, not at Amazon "bulk price"
Have you considered themed muffin papers for your holiday boxes. It helps separate the selections.
Yay, so happy to see you. It's so fun hanging out with you and your family.
Hola ❤I’m a sleepy mother in some challenging times with Perimenopause. The Tart Cherry juice on its own is pretty amazing for sleep without the magnesium if you want to try it like that first. I use Reeds ginger ale if I’m feeling fancy or a Splash of fresh pressed apple juice for added flavor. It’s help me so much with rest at the night ❤I do take a magnesium calm gummy sometimes but not often ❤️
How much tart cherry juice do you drink to help with sleep?
@@amykat5 I just did the 8 ounces it recommend on the serving size of the bottle, some people do a shot glass amount but with all my evening hot flashes and night sweats, I aimed for a full serving lol
@@DistractedByHumans Thank you! I need some help sleeping. I’m post menopausal. Haven’t had issues with night sweats, etc., but the insomnia 🙄 I’m going to give this a try!
Thank you for this . My husband is having a home time sleeping lately. We will give this a try.
@@michellegoodwin8258 you’re welcome ☺️
Hey Becky! The green goddess one is good, too! Can't wait to see the Valentine's day treats come together. :)
What a great video and watching you put me in the mood for my grocery shopping tomorrow! Great video Becky!
I grow shishito year-round on my towers. I love to dip them in sourdough disgard and lightly fry them. So delish!!
I can't wait for the Valentine's Day cooking extravaganza. You do such a wonderful job of motivating me. Thanks for sharing. Oh I sure hope our Costco has that cookie.🍪😆.
Love the shopping vids, keep them coming !
Heyyy! Becky!
👏🏻yay! Shopping day! I love shopping! I don’t like to put the things away though. Lol
That lavender sweater looks pretty on you.
I thought about you today while I harvested a whole bed of Cilantro. I know how much you like it. Then, thoughts came rolling in, like 🤔 how did cilantro become so popular in salsa when tomatoes and cilantro are harvested in different seasons? Maybe other areas can grow Cilantro anytime, but it bolts in my zone during Summer.
Anyway. Who cares? It’s all delicious, and my Cilantro is preserved to go into some fresh salsa when tomatoes ripen this Summer. Can’t wait!
I just love homemade Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies. Plus I like cookies on the soft and chewy side
I saw that you bought a Monstera plant. They are amazing! 💚 With a bit of plant food and enough light, they will grow these leafs with splits in them.
But I have to warn you: they grow quite fast and become huge plants.
Four years ago, I bought a Monstera about the size you've bought now. I've already had to change the plantpot twice, and they grow air roots that have quite a length.
I love my plant, but if I knew it would grow that big, I would have bought another type of plant.
I will keep him for now, but in the foreseeable future, I think I will give it to someone with more room for it.
Saying hi from the Netherlands. 🤗🇳🇱
I can't wait for the garden season to begin!
As soon as i saw you pick up the wine after saying it was Sunday I had to remind myself that you are not here in the south. Those tulips were absolutely stunning. If dollar tree doesn't have what you need, if you have a dollar general there i would suggest checking there because they carry a lot of the same type items.
I do enjoy a grocery store video. Thank you for this one!
That was really fun to watch Becky! I enjoyed seeing the variety of products in the stores, and especially all the plants and seasonal items that are already in your Costco! Certainly not in ours YET in eastern Ontario, Canada! :) ~~M~~
@Acrehomestead I hope you enjoy the small gift that was delivered to you yesterday. I've loved seeing your videos on being more organized, especially in your growing room. You've been such an inspiration.
Hi Becky, just a little information. My sister planted the black eyed Susan and they just took over her whole yard. She planted them in one flower bed, the next year they came up everywhere.
Plant City Florida STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL time.
Yes! Great festival!
You should take one or two of you sweet potatoes and put them on their side in the garden as an experiment to see if they will grow. I tried several times to do the toothpick and glass of water thing and it took too long or didn’t work. Another long time homesteader said no need to do all of that. Just direct plant them in the garden. So I got a few organic Japanese ones and tried it. That was three growing seasons ago and they continue to come up year after year.
Closest Trader Joe’s to me is in Cleveland,OhioBecky once you get your Green house. Also get a shed for the tools,extra chicken feed. This way it’s close for you to get and a safe place for them.
I paused when you were in TJ's and ran my own errand to the store! Thanks for giving me the push to get it DONE!
Thanks for the heads-up on Costco's chocolate chip cookies!
Hey Becky! Not sure if you have a craft store nearby you, like hobby lobby or Michaels. They usually have alternating sales and/or coupons. I get my bakery boxes from those places if I can’t find any at dollar tree!
FYI Dill loves cooler weather, I let a few plants go to seed and they self seed for the next year. Also the white coneflowers for whatever reason are tough to grow at least for me. I have a about 5 other colors and white ones never do well. I live in Massachusetts which is zone 6
I love spending time with you, each and every day :) You are such a joy! I wish I lived closer to you than Ontario, Canada. because you would be a great neighbour to have. You inspire me to cook,bake and be organized.
I cook chicken wings in my air fryer; I don’t put anything on them other than salt and pepper. I spray them with oil. They get so crisp! Then we can dip in whatever each of us want.
I’ve never been to any of those stores but I love going through your videos ❤
Please read the labels make sure you buy US wild caught shrimp. Shrimp from China is no bueno. I’m so lucky I live in Louisiana & it’s easy access.
The pantry challenge went by fast. Restocks are always good. Happy New Week! 😊
Wonderful shopping with you; thanks for sharing! You would be fun to take along on my shopping trips! Blessings to everyone 🤗🇨🇦
I love my Monstera deliciosa plant! They grow fast, and the more mature they get the leaves start fenetrating, which is fun!
I know the feeling.! I'm planning on my second year of gardening.! I hope to get more than I did last year.! We are in zone b6
I had to giggle at your productive comment. Geez!, you have to be the most productive person on the net! I pop in from time to time and you are cooking up a storm to either give away or store, even both many times!! I don't know how you do it, you are a dynamo plus you have such a sweet personality. Always fun your visit your channel. 😊
That cookie looks delicious, now I need to make some 😊. Excited to see the grow room makeover!
We FINALLY got an Aldi in Hattiesburg,Ms. and I love it! HATED having to go to Walmart!!!
Hi! I haven't been yet. I hate the traffic and have had car trouble. I hope to get a new car soon and make it out there ( I live closer to downtown).
