Don't overlook the "community" at work too. My boss has chickens and will bring eggs to anyone who hands him an empty egg container. One of my co-workers is friends with a merchandiser for Peets coffee and gets cases of coffee for free that he brings in. In the summer people with gardens always bring extra produce to work. And those that hunt will bring venison steaks to share. We also share old clothes we don't want anymore and kids toys. We can learn to build community wherever we want to.

Mindset plays a huge role in the way we look at our current situation. I am old enough to have inflation happen several times during my life. People forget that this isn't really new. I am thankful that my "glass is half-full." I can buy food, but I might not get exactly what I want, or I might have to cook from scratch. I can still buy gas, but I plan my trips. I live in a more rural area, so going to town takes more gas. I don't go for one or two items. I make several stops. It makes me plan better. We are having to do what we should have been doing all along. Sorry for the long speech, but I have always had to watch my pennies. You're lucky to be able to experience true survival traits from family. ❤ I wish I could tell my younger self to be even more vigilant about my choices because I have had my fair share of wasteful choices.

@joniahaworth Месяц назад

@malcommitchell7748 Месяц назад

Yes, many have depended on the stores for their food. When I tell people in the city that I have a vegetable garden, bake my own bread and preserve my meat and vegetables they think I am weird. Hard times ahead and I wonder who will do the laughing when things become even more unaffordable or run out and that applies to all the take outs from the food outlets that some rely on. They have my sympathies.

@tamaraliscia3408 Месяц назад

Mindset and being willing to change is everything. I, too, and old enough to remember years of inflation and shortages. Statistically, people spend their income, without planning savings. They get a bonus at work or receive a tax return and they spend it. They get used to living, and spending in certain ways. When that no longer works, instead of "getting real", they complain; they want someone else to fix their life so they can continue living as they have. That just doesn't work. And, racking up debt in order to avoid changes is counterproductive, in my opinion. It's more practical to make changes, in my opinion. Prices are high, as they have been before. We all see it and they aren't going to go down by much. Recently, I read the a few corporations are reducing costs so consumer costs are lower. Since they've been amassing high profits since 2017/2018, it's a good thing. I'm a widow and my adult son lives in an attached studio but we share the main house. We share most of the budget and have a saying, "we use what we have". We never talk about higher prices because it won't change a thing, except our attitude and we don't go there. Today I made a sort of trellis with a couple birch branches my son had trimmed off our trees and a piece of wire fencing we bought at a resale shop. I'm looking forward to the runner beans and sunflowers that will climb up. My son put the DIY frame and netting over our blueberries; the raspberries are looking good, as do the herbs. We have just enough space to put in some food plants so we can pick tomatoes or cucumber or peppers for dinner. Any other fruits and vegetables to eat fresh or can will come from u-pick farms in the area. Life is good.

@baus7 Месяц назад

Mindset is everything. That's why "they" work so hard on programming us, marketing, advertising, algorithm, etc. They try to keep us fearful and depressed because then we're easier to control. Thus allowing them to essentially do whatever they want.

What I find extremely useful is to make my own ready meals. Cook a large casserole or stew (which also makes a smaller amount of meat go further) add lots of veggies and freeze into individual portions. Then when you have been busy and don't want to cook you always have a healthy meal available.

@SlowLivingWithAutism Месяц назад

We (me, my adult children, and their spouses) do our best to be as self-sufficient as possible and started that about 25 years ago. Now there are lots of grandchildren to help out, and they are excellent helpers. This morning, I harvested strawberries, asparagus, the first raspberries of the season, and clary sage flowers to make clary sage essential oil and hydrosol ... both will be used in the next batch of homemade soap. We have cows for milking and for meat, goats for milking, sheep for meat, chickens for eggs and meat, and lots of gardens ... we share what we can. I think one major area we as a society need to be mindful of is electronics and all the subscriptions and other costs associated with them. These things did not exist "back then," but now most of us can't imagine life without them. It's actually a luxury, not a necessity. We could also save money by dressing for utility instead of fashion. Just a few ideas.

@Michelle_Emm Месяц назад

Another reason that Americans thinks food prices have gone up so much is that they have always been artificially low. For years I watched in amazement at the crazy low prices and wondered how on earth it was possible for food to be less than a quarter the price of Australia. Now your food price's are on par with ours.

Thanks for sharing these true words of wisdom. I started my urban garden during the pandemic. The Lord spoke to me about starting a garden one day after coming home from the grocery store and the entire produce section was wiped out. I haven't looked back since. That was before grocery priced had even started to increase. But toilet paper was no where to be found. I'm blessed to live in SW Florida where I garden year-round. 😊

I grew up with a lot of these principles. I had a huge garden when raising my children and learned to cook from scratch. This was so I could stay home with my children. We didn't run all the time. I learned to can and pressure can. I am so glad because now I am just picking back up those habits. My children were raised that way and I am so proud of how they manage and cook whole foods for their family. They do not have gardens, but I am happy to share. They understand buying in bulk and when it is on sale. We need to learn all of this now.

My parents grew up during the great depression in the southwest part of Virginia, mom near Dublin/Pulaski and dad near Wytheville. You talked about potato candy at Christmas. My mother would always make this at Christmas time when I was growing up. She would make two logs of it, and she would use food coloring and make one log red and the other log green, then slice it. I think she used peppermint flavoring in it. This was my father's favorite candy at Christmas. I wish I had watched her make it but I'm sorry to say that I didn't. This candy is one of my favorite memories of Christmas when I was growing up.

@robintaylor1084 Месяц назад

One thing you want to watch though in purchasing vegetables and fruits that you want to preserve from the grocery store is that these come from large sometimes extremely large industrial farms who spray industrial chemicals. It's so much better if you can find a local person in your town or a farmer's market with local produce and fruits to purchase if you're going to put them up

@free2roam492 29 дней назад

I have never learned to cook the 'normal' way. I cook like what I call, 'an old fisherman's wife. Not sure where I came up with that saying, but when I cook from scratch, depending on what is on my shelves and how much I need to cook that day, I take a look at my canned goods and what ever looks like it would go with what I am cooking, I add it to the soup or casserole I am making. One time, I had left over mashed potatoes, a little ground beef, a handful of kidney beans for some reason and lots of canned veges, so i made a casserole out of all of it. It went over so well that i started making it on purpose. Boil some water with whatever fresh veges are in season, adding hard veges like carrots first, then any raw meat, then softer veges and if I have leftover beans, I'll throw in a handful of those as well. At the end I add milk and enough instant potatoes to thicken. Add some salt, pepper and butter to taste and it is done! I rarely measure ingrediants and rarely have any waste. BTW, it used to be that instant potatoes, and frozen orange juice was cheaper than fresh and the orange juice at least was as healthy as fresh, maybe you could compare different options of healthy foods to find what is cheaper, fresh, frozen, or canned. I can't garden because our entire 10 acres are full of walnut trees, and walnut trees kill almost everything within so many feet. So i have to buy most everything, though we do have chickens for eggs. Thank you for your videos, they are intersting and informative...

@mightymommom5888 Месяц назад

I don’t really meal plan. I use what I have to make a casserole or stew. I make my own tortillas and am making my own bread. That’s what takes creativity and planning. I am a nurse so I make meals with planned leftovers for my meals and my boyfriend’s. It fun and like a little challenge.

I’m trying to learn how to cook using basic shelf stable food from the food pantry. My biggest issue is that making things from scratch is very labor intensive. I have a disability that causes fatigue and is made worse by exertion. I would love to learn how to prepare some simple meals for my family without blowing the budget or wearing myself out. Disabled folks often face a double edged sword in the kitchen because they must balance low income and low energy.

I couldn’t agree with this more! Looking at our current situation has made me make these changes naturally. As I began purchasing longer storage pantry staples, grinding wheat and making homemade sourdough, growing a garden etc, everything has changed. No more medications, no cravings and feeling so much more satisfied after eating a meal. The interesting part is I always ate healthy but now everything is a whole food and it’s made all the difference in many different ways. Staying ahead of inflation, having better food security and overall health. Getting back to the ways of our grandparents is a huge step in the right direction and I for one, wish I’d done it sooner! Thank you for your content, it’s so enjoyable and needed.

What a great video! Because you are a very young person, I am sharing this with my grandson, nieces and nephews, who will likely listen to you a bit more intensely than they will to my 69 year old self. LOL! I'm hoping to get them interested in canning and other forms of food preservation, too. I made a sweet potato pie for our family Thanksgiving dinner from potatoes that I grew in 16-gallon storage containers! Another benefit of the garden are the psychological benefits. I have a sign in a memorial garden I made for my late son that says, "In my garden, the answers come". The sign on the 'farm' gate (that's what I call my vegetable garden and apiary) says "garden: a place to lose yourself when you need to find yourself". I even 'eat the weeds'! I forage Lamb's Quarters, Poke Weed (both of which I have canned), dandelions, berries, and even things like plantain and mullein for medicinal uses. Two years ago, I planted a miniature orchard of dwarf apple trees and a Kieffer pear, all of which are actually producing fruit. I live in a subdivision on about a third of an acre, so it doesn't take much. I'd have chickens if the city ordinances allowed it. Thanks for posting this!

All those premade pie crusts and grand biscuits in the roll have it in them. I have also noticed that the bread I got from the food pantry and still have from 2 or 3 months ago has not molded. It is so weird. I know that the breads I make mold if we don't eat it fast enough. What are they putting into the food.

I am also a member of the share freely group and buy nothing community groups on FB because I live in an apartment that encourages us to put stuff in the laundry room that we don't need to share with others. I wait and before it goes to a charity, I will put items on the sharing community sites and people will come and pick it up or someone will volunteer to deliver it to them. people also share surplus food items from their gardens with others in the community. There is no buying/selling allowed. People can also put up in search of ( ISO) items they need and many people either donate but sometimes someone just needs to borrow an item. The odd time someone will be short on food and members will either let them know the local resources, deliver food to them, take them shopping and pay for it or even give them grocery gift cards to see them through. It works well in my community.

I have a bread maker so I just throw the ingredients into my bread maker and it will mix it knead it and raise it! However I use my loaf pan to cook it! We have six 1 month old chickens and I am looking forward to fresh eggs everyday! We are also looking into getting rabbits to use as food as well. We don't have a huge amount of land not quite a 1/2 acre but we are trying to make the most of what we have to be self sufficient! My husband is making a she shed for me but it will have many uses. We will be able to hook it up to solar and heat it with wood plus have the gutters to catch the rain water. These are all in case of things happening that is out of our hands like a storm making the power go out etc. Especially in the winter! I find it baffling that the average American household has less than a weeks worth of food on hand. I think that is really scary!

Free kitchen have a really bad habit of pushing non healthy food in this country. Over feeding pasta and bread. Lack of protein and nutrients. It fills your tummy for a short time but still leave you lacking for real substance.

Got space for a few pots? That’s how I’m doing sweet potato. Get a few tubes and a lot of leaves. The leaves are edible from the Sweet Potato

With respect, I agree with the principles behind this video...I don't agree with how you are defining "calorie dense" foods. Calories and carbohydrates are generally cheap and over abundant for most modern energy needs. That is not the same as wholefood and nutrition. Low glycemic index foods are good generally because they help people feel fuller, longer, and they keep a steady energy supply....unlike things high in ultraprocessed "food" , sugar etc. Avoiding ultraprocessed"food" and "drinks" means you cut out the middlemen and marketing budgets...you pay for the food itself, not the advertising or the packaging or the CEO etc Your money goes to the farmers, butchers, bakers etc. And the transport industry that helps ship those items around.

Unfortunately I live in an area where people have more money than sense. I’m out in the country but NO one immediately around me homesteads. It’s insane.Even most of our families offers no help or wants to learn much of anything. It’s just our tiny family of 3 trying to do it all and one has to work a full time job on top of it. Exhausting but it is what it is. I’ve even offered plant starts, offered to help them learn how to garden. All I hear is, no, it’s too much work. No, I’ve got a busy summer ahead. And most people use their “livestock” animals as yard ornaments instead of what they are actually for.🤯

Grocery bill? Whats that? I raise cattle, chickens & meat rabbits, eat (usually 😂) one meal a day of meat & eggs. I eat ZERO plants. I'm 75 and enjoy robust health. I have a greenhouse and grow herbs (mostly cayenne peppers & mint) for "medicine) & have fruit trees. I barter with the fruit.
