How and Why I Buy Bulk Food | Organizing My Bulk Food 

Who ever gave her thumbs down is absolutely nuts. She is the best meal prepper, homesteader I have ever found on YT. Plus she cooks like my Nana used to. Because of this young lady here, I've been able to meal prep and start my own gardening and canning my fruits of love. That's what I call my fruits and veggies that I grow myself. Thank you so much, you are an inspiration to me. Much love to you and your four legged babies. ❤😋😀

I like your three "supervisors" as you were pouring into the buckets. 😍👍

My husband gets on to me. He says I have “hoarding ways😂”. #1 thing I always have lots of is butter. I hate to be out of butter!!! When you said butter I had to 😆 laugh

Three suggestions: - for folks planning to buy Delta lids, they are available in packs of multiple colors. If you don’t like to label your buckets, you can remember the oats are in the bucket with the red lid, etc. - consider using one-piece lids for mason jars you use for dry storage. They’re so much easier to use than the two-piece lids. - consider covering the windows in your food storage room. Light will damage food especially if it’s stored in clear jars.

You are so quickly becoming my FAVE! I tell my husband that you're my spirit animal 😅 so please don't be offended when I say that you should use up the old items first, without putting new on top (like when refilling flour bins). When I was a lot younger, I worked in a large kitchen and they drilled the acronym FIFO into my head (First In First Out). Food rotation is important! Thanks for another great video. Definitely pantry goals for me 💚

I just found your channel and I have been wanting to make a change in mine and my husband's routine. We have conflicting schedules so I am never able to cook at night and your freezer meal videos have inspired me to start trying! We have 4 dogs and no children so seeing that you are in relatively the same boat it makes me want to go forward with this project even more! My dive into the world of "meal prepping" or "freezer storage" started with the run of the mill videos where the creators always had big families with children. I understand that is why it worked for them but seeing how it is only you and your husband and you are doing it this way makes me feel very encouraged!!! Thank you so much for documenting your life and showing the way for wanna-be homemakers like myself!!

We live out in the country. I too shop at Azure Standard. Love everything they have. And I use the same gamma lids and do long term storage for all of my essentials. I do freeze all of my grains and rice for a week before I put them into buckets to prevent weevils. We are prepared to have enough food to last several years. I just found your channel. Great Job!

Three advantages to sun-blocking window treatments in your pantry room: Cooler rooms extend the life of both dry goods and home-canned foods. Ditto for UV exposure as it’s not just heat that causes degradation. Also privacy and safety. You may love and voluntarily feed your neighbors in emergency situations, but there are always those who will take forcibly and feel justified. Just found your channel and am enjoying catching up with your videos! I am going to make your baked oatmeal breakfast dish! But onto today’s topic… My pantry room serves a variety of functions, so I protect my home canned foods with black construction paper sleeves around the jars or to top the new open-top jar boxes. I have also hung nice light-blocking curtains across the front of the double closet converted to shelf storage and in front of the back wall of shelving units. What surprised me most with these curtain walls was how much it cut down on dust on my jars! Plus, when I do have the window blinds open, my foods are hidden from outside view.

Your storage room with all of that space and shelves are awesome. You probably know this but I just thought I would tell you anyway if you are going to put canning in there with glass jars you need to block the sunlight out of those big beautiful windows because that will damage your canned goods.

So fun to re-watche these vids from your old Homestead. Love you Becky!❤❤

Have a suggestion for you to consider. Split the room into two, and since you also use the space for growing keep the window side for buckets and growing stuff. Then get plenty of heavy duty sets of blackout curtains to section off your pretty canned goods. Voila! Problem solved.

I cut the colorful labels off the bags to label my bins and jars

Watch your babies lick there tongues is adorable. Wow didn't know about your adorable third baby is priceless 😍

I use a sharpie to label buckets. I erase the names with nail polish remover if I need to change the name. Much easier for me and I actually label them.

I wish that I was HALF as organized as you!!

It is so helpful to know what size bucket holds what size of bulk bag!

That is freaking amazing

You’re poor dogs look so hopeful that they’ll get a scrap of food. 😢🥰😋

Freeze rice to kill bugs before long term storage🇨🇦

You are gracious in showing your pantry items……myself I’m trying to keep mine hidden as much as I can…….if there is shortages people become desperate and they could seek you out……if you have a basement I’d be putting your items down there …cooler and out of view,,,, I remember my grandpa hid their cow and he sat on his back porch with a gun to protect his garden and his live stock…. During this past shortage local farmers had animals stolen, barns broken into and equipment taken. Especially gas cans….people to lazy to prep but have no problem taking from others.

That was fun. Love your little helpers too.

Wow, you go girl 💞

This was so satisfying to watch.

Love your videos. You're a very clever lady with boundless energy. Noticed you used 2 buckets to fill with the white flower. Here's a hack to make sure you use the oldest flour up first: Fill the empty bucket about 2/3 full. Then dump the older flour in on top. Then fill the other now empty second bucket. Obviously use the first bucket first. 😘

I’m so glad to see you just dumped the bags. No stressing over bugs. I’m in my 50’s and have yet to see one. By the way., you’re cute as a button. Great video.

Great job Becky. You are so inspiring!

I applaud 👏 you for being self-sufficient and teaching us too. Wtg Becky ❤

Just love it!

Thank you Becky! I loved it as usual. Your videos are just so fun to watch and actually they are kind of therapeutic for me. Take care and God bless

I love your helpers!🐕

Great video and your pups are adorable!👍😁💖

Wow, you are so organized. Love watching you.

I am loving your channel!

Thank you! This is so helpful. I love your videos!

I love those buckets. Pretty handy.

I love your dogs!

Enjoyed the video

I’m just as mesmerized by the fur babies as I am with your organization lol

You did a great job!!

If you are going to store long-term food storage in a room with big windows and want to use it as a pantry, you need to IMMEDIATELY hang up blackout curtains. A pantry with canning jars should be dark 99.5% of the time. the other 0.05% when you turn on the light to retrieve something. The sun coming through those windows will "cook" or warm your canning jars and food storage daily. PLEASE put up blackout curtains. Another tip, purchase mylar bags for your buckets. Good luck!

I love your videos, seeing you process things one at a time makes me a lot less nervous about becoming a home owner

I dtarted watching your videos a week ago and it is so cool to see that your channel is growing so much e quick 😄 Lots of love from Brazil

I just found your channel and I'm loving your authenticity!

You are amazing. Thanks for sharing your recipes and techniques.

Thank you for your videos they help me a lot

You are fantastic! You need to put some of this in to a book. I have learned so much from you.

This was a ton of wonderful information! Thank you for sharing!

I enjoy when you do longer video’s :) Well done on stocking up 😀

Your dogs are so cute!!

Hello! You just made my day when you introduced your doggies & gave them hugs!! I would also like to get a few of these buckets too. Love & Hugs

Love, love, love an organised pantry.

Awesome video!! I’ve started this and it has made me so happy !! I love seeing all my bins full and knowing I’m stocked up especially since fall and winter are around the corner. Thank you for all your tips!

Your dogs are so cute! Such good helpers!

I absolutely love, love your kitchen!!!. What a wonderful place to create so many amazing things. I love your channel. I just recently found it and I am hooked. Been binge watching all of your episodes. You are an inspiration. Thanks Becky!!

Thank you for this video! You have been such an inspiration! I started my bulk buying a couple of weeks ago. So thankful to have this, now that prices are skyrocketing!

Just discovered your channel yesterday and been watching around 20 videos now...you are such a wonder woman❤

becky you so inspire me to keep on gardeing ....i love your videos

I love your videos. We are soul sisters in food storage, gardening, and homesteading! Your videos are great. :)

I love your energy. People need to know what your doing is important, especially in today’s society. I’m glad and appreciative that your parents taught you things and your responsible. I like that you think ahead and are responsible for your family. I’m proud of the things you are doing.

OMG your puppies are soooo cute!!!

I love that you don’t just talk and talk and talk, but you do and do and do. I appreciate that you edit and fast forward through repetitive stuff, but we still get to see what we need to see! These are great!!!!

Everytime you open a bag, your puppies come to check it out! I love dogs!

Your fur babies are so sweet

Cutest dogs ever❤️❤️❤️

Your puppies are so cute and 'helpful'! ☺ I've ever seen mini Aussie Shepards before! We just had the standard size. Sweeties, but they dug the heck out of my backyard, little rascals!

Very organised!!🙂

Thanks to your parents running out of butter like most of us do lol it is wonderful it inspired you enough to start bulk buying. Awesome

Brilliant ,loved going along with u , So jealous really need organize myself better

2020 definitely changed how I think of food. I canned food to avoid BPA but now I'm doing more and bulk buying too.

I just love watching cook and organize. I wish I was so organized like you.

Hello, I'm a new subscriber. I'm so grateful I found you. Thank you so much for showing us how to do this. And Thank you for giving the links to everything.

I have just discovered your channel and have been binge watching your videos all day 😆 love it!

I love your dogs. And, of course, I appreciate all of your videos.

I love watching your videos and you are such an inspiration to me and I’m 57 years old (never too old to start a new chapter). I will soon be quitting my job so that I can begin homesteading on our property in SW Ga. and I will do the meal planning bc I will be busy. Thank you for sharing your life with us!

The pink salt has such great flavor ♥️♥️♥️

Thank you, I appreciated your informative video and bulk buys. I especially love seeing your dogs! :)

Oh my goodness. We must be related. I do the same things you do with pantry items, plus canning all the foods I can. I started doing meals made ahead in jars, I used to keep everything separate. Love watching and learning from you!!

Oh my I love all 3 of your fur babies they are gorgeous

Light bulb moment- print all the words on 1 label. Brilliant! I stopped using a label maker because I was frustrated with the waste blank labels at both sides of the actual typing. Thanks so much for the idea!

The puppies ❤️😍🥰

Awesome!

Loving every video you've posted! #pantrygoals

You amaze me with your organization! I absolutely am in love with your cabinets! They are to simply die for!! Ty for sharing this video

Since starting to watch your videos over a year ago, I've started making my partner the oatmeal bake every week. He now requests it when I forget! He's not an easy man to please, food-wise, so this was a real winner.

Youre my inspiration...😍

LOL!! I am the same way with the pet peeve! Idk what it is, but omg it felt so cozy seeing everything get a home lol ♥

Awesome video as always ♥️ I buy in bulk as well. In the long run it saves you money and time.

Ma’am this will change my life thank you so much am learning every day on how to save money and be better prepared for life.

THANK YOU for demonstrating how to put on a Gamma lid!! LOL, I was struggling with that. I’m such a newbie at having a bulk pantry!

It was nice to see your official package inspectors helping out. My dogs, especially my Border Collie, love to thoroughly sniff every new package I bring into my house. I'm just about to get started with bulk buying, storing and canning. I recently had to change jobs and now work remotely from home. I was able to trade in a forty mile round tip commute for a zero mile round trip commute. :-) With the forty mile commute I was in the habit of stopping at a store between work and home fairly frequently and just buying a few things at a time. With my new routine, bulk buying will be a better approach. And if it saves money in the long run it's a win/win. That's especially true since the nearest grocery store to me is a small town grocery store with a smaller selection and larger prices.

This was a great video. You have so much energy! I noticed that you store your jars without the lids on. I hate taking the time to clean spider webs and gross stuff out of my Jars when it comes time for canning, so I turn a clean, used canning lid upside-down (so the gummie stuff doesn't stick to the jar) and put the ring on to store clean empty Jars. Saves a lot of time during canning season. 😊

I am so jelly of the label maker! Label everything! I would use that for my canning stuff too!

I loved this! I have been wanting to do this for a really long time. I am really loving your channel. I would love to get the recipe of the baked oat bars you make for your husband. 💜💜

You get a big work out just moving the bags & buckets around... bless you for showing how to do things in bulk

I love my Gama lids too. I get them at Tractor Supply Store. They will last for years !! I am a member of Azure and highly recommend them.

I love baked oats. I don’t tend to eat them when it’s hot outside. Today is actually cooler summer day and is making me hungry for some. Will be baking it as soon as I finish this video.

Nice to see someone else using azure As well!
