Rebel Canning Baby Carrots in Onion Soup Broth 

When my children were growing up, we were struggling to live for awhile. My husband worked two jobs and I worked part time. I would go shopping at the local Kroger in the evening. Most days I would go in the morning when they opened and the elderly would be there waiting also. The doors would open and they would run to get the marked down food and bread and fresh veggies. I would let them get there first and usually I would miss out. Kroger would mark down veggies and fruit in bags when one went bad. One night I went there just before close and saw the young lady marking the produce down. She said it was her job to do this every night. After that I would shop in the evenings so I could take advantage of the discounts. I would take surplus home and can it up. You do what you need to make it in this world.

Heather I adore you babbling on, it’s like hanging out with a good friend. Thank you for the great video ❣️🥰

hello there. Im from michigan also. i was in a vehical accident 5 yrs ago causing an early retirement from EMS by 2 yrs. So i needed to figure out how to live a frugal life on a tight income. i came across your site and i have learned so much from you and verrrry thankful for that. I was laughed at by a couple of my family members because of my pantry that ive been working on for the last two and a half yrs. since the lockdown, they're not laughing any more, and yes i helped my family i would never turn my back on them. they have asked how i learned about what i have been doing, told them about your site, and some others that have taught me. i made my last trip to country view store in the thumb 2 wks before the lockdown, love that store! well, just wanted to say thank you!

Ha! 10 bags of baby carrots at 50¢ each this week. I shop what is on sale. My cart gets some odd looks.

This is exactly how I’ve shopped for years. I meal plan from my full stocked pantry.

I love to listen to you. I shop the same way for the same reasons. Blessings !!!

I always look forward to your canning videos. They are so comforting.

I don’t see the issue with the soup. You could easily say you can in water and add a ton of seasoning.

What a great idea Heather! Love the idea of canning the carrots in onion broth!😋😋

Your life story and journey is not boring. It is what made you who you are today and since you are happy where you are then it's worth sharing with others who may still be where you were and trying to get to where you are. Your story can encourage others to keep going even during the bad times. Many blessings to you and yours. Thank you for sharing.

I have to share something with you! I watched Stivers Homestead You Tube recently and was amazed at a cost savings they shared. They don’t eat beef. They had raised turkeys, but this could be done by purchasing turkeys from a farm or when on sale at a grocery. They butchered, cut all the meat off the bone and ground it, cooked it and canned it. I had never thought of doing this, but what a cost savings, and super quick meal prep item. Can make turkey tacos, chili with turkey, anything you would make with beef. I have two turkeys in the freezer and really anxious to find the time to do this. Happy canning!

Oh yeah, onion soup mix, I need to try that! Thanks sissy

I asked “living on a dime” if she changed her mind with what is going on now, she said no. She thinks canning is not worth the cost, which I don’t understand. I think you are right on, I have so much GOOD FOOD on my shelf. Including this! Thank you so much.

Prayers for you and your precious family. ❤️

Gonna have to try it with the onion soup

Heather you are a great instructor for doing the methods that work for you. I like that. I also like you sharing whats on your heart that day...💕real life. Pat from Oregon.
