That Grocery Haul Escalated Quickly! Stocking up on pantry staples! 

To skip the problem of stripping the leaves off thyme, just put the stalks of thyme in the freezer, in a plastic bag. Just crush the frozen stalks lightly and the leaves fall off into the bottom of the bag. Remove the woody stalks and it’s all done! Keep the thyme frozen in a jar and it tastes just like fresh thyme from the garden. I also dry some of the leaves and they have a slightly different flavour.

I think it's hilarious that you mentioned growing your own peanut butter. I literally harvested my peanut crop last week and have hung them to dry. I use my handy dandy Vita Mix and make my own peanut butter. Totally organic, grown in my own yard, lol... You should try it!

We love our heated mattress pad instead of a blanket. Turn it on 15 to 30 minutes before going to bed. Makes a world of difference. We also heat with wood.

I love everything about you. I am working towards a homestead and you are the most relatable person ive found on youtube. Thank you for being you

As for cider/hard cider - it’s not just overseas. I’m from Canada and didn’t realize the difference until a US friend mentioned her toddler loved ‘cider’. We refer to cider as being alcoholic and everything else as juice (filtered/unfiltered etc). Had a good laugh and discussion of regional differences at the same time! 😉😊

"$80 seems expensive for a blanket to me" The quilters, crocheters, and knitters in the audience: "AHEM."

I love grocery hauls. It's very interesting to me to see what other people shop for. And I have seen your appetizer video and they all look absolutely wonderful. Thank you for the work that you do to bring me videos to us for our entertainment and education. Be well, stay safe, love from Texas.

I've been using a Diva Cup exclusively for more than 15 years, and it's great. Comfortable, never leaks, not messy, and so much more convenient than any other option I tried. It's wonderful for travel and camping, and I've saved SO much money. The first time putting it in was scary, but after that it's easy. I love that I've had 15+ years of zero-waste period care.

I bought a heated mattress pad from Walmart several years ago and I am still using it. It is queen- sized and has dual controls. I use it daily. I love it because it was designed to be slept upon whereas many heating pads or heated blankets are not designed to be slept on top of. It was really great when I hurt my back.

You are an inspiration! This "old dog" is definitely learning new tricks from the young women currently homesteading full time or in concert with their day jobs/professions. Thank you for your positive energy output Ms. Becky. Keep on keepin' on! Happy Thanksgiving.

King sized blankets on queen sized beds are great. Less cover-yanking! Fun fact: in advertisements and catalogs they “dress” beds with blankets, comforters and bedspreads a size bigger than the mattress.

I absolutely love the heated blanket

Yes in Australia alcoholic cider is just cider and what you call cider we call cloudy apple juice 🍏😊

i love using a reusable cup, it makes me feel 100X better, my periods are shorter and i don’t cramp nearly as bad as i used to. plus it’s just better for the environment and for your body. i highly recommend it to anyone who is interested, but you definitely have to be prepared to see and touch more than you ever had to before 😅

We always wrap our dog tablets in cheese (cheap slice stuff in plastic) Ruffy loves it.

Becky - you should try flannel sheets. They make a huge difference I change over to flannel at the beginning of November.

It always amazes me how much embarrassed Americans are when talking about feminine igene products 😂 it's not TMI Becky, I love your videos!! Love from Italy ❤️

I came across your channel over weekend and now I'm binge watching everything. Love your energy! Also, I really like your hairstyles. 😁

I live in the UK and genuinely get so much joy watching your videos. I don't know what some of the stuff is. I've never heard of winco. But I'm here for all of it, living through you! Also I'm inspired to plant some veggies in my garden next year! 🖤

Thank you for explaining the difference in ciders. Yes here in the UK we get alcohol if we ask for cider. The other is just fresh apple juice. It makes the video of you and your sister processing all those apples and making cider much more clear now. I couldn't work out how you got it to the alcohol stage 😅😅

Canadian here: Heated blankets are worth every penny.

I’m obsessed with grocery hauls! I like seeing what others buy. Some is exactly how I shop and others are way different. I think it’s all in how we were raised or where we live. I like your grocery haul! ❤️

I love a grocery haul too! It is helpful when you say how you are going to use the items- so many new ideas! Thanks Becky

It’s a great day when I check RU-vid and see one of your new videos. I don’t know how you do it all ❤️🤗but I’m grateful you do! Lol

I'm a huge fan of my Flex cup! One silicone cup has lasted me years!

100% would recommend the diva cup!!! I've learned the hard way that not all menstrual cups are created equal. Diva cup is my go-to.

Tmi. I was TERRIFIED of the diva cup. I had one for 6 months before I got brave enough to try it. I have now officially been 14 month waste free periods. And it's just so much better then I thought!

Glad you said about cider. My Welsh friend went to Florida, and couldn't understand why she was given apple juice when she asked for cider 😂 A bar worker helped her out, so she was able to order alcohol cider the rest of her holiday.

I always like watching grocery hauls. I love to see what others buy. Sometimes I get inspired!

I have wanted to buy a pressure canner and try preserving for the longest time but I was too nervous! You have inspired me to give it a go. I’m going to treat myself to a canner and 2022 is going to be the year!!! 🙂

Love love love your channel! I am leaving my full time job to stay home with little ones and looking to become more self sufficient. Your videos have been so inspirational! Thank you Becky!

Switching to the diva cup made my cycles so much easier to deal with.

Heated blankets are great! My parents used to heat primarily with a wood stove. I understand the cold bedroom situation.

Go for the king bed oh my gosh when I upgraded I started sleeping SO much better - you don't realize how much your partner wakes you up. Also just upgrading your mattress generally is so under-rated.

Happy Thanksgiving 😊 Becky. I'm praying for your fur baby. Thank you for your hard work on the videos.

Flannel sheets are really nice during the cold season.

Good Morning, thank you sharing your grocery hauls with us. Just want to recommend these 3 Gravy mixes that I use and it just requires adding water. I always pick these up at Walmart. Morrison Country Style Peppered Gravy Mix, 24 Oz -$3.97, Southeastern Mills Onion Gravy Mix, 1.70 oz - $1.24 and Southeastern Mills Brown Gravy Mix, 1.70 oz - $0.93. So easy to make and would go great with Instant Mash Potatoes. The Country Gravy is a winner on breakfast biscuits or, with any meal. I am looking into buying more “just add water” items on my next shopping trip. Oh, also.. the Zatarain’s Rice Dinners are a great side or added to canned beef or chicken. ( tacos or casserole? ) We really love their Cilantro and Lime Boxed Rice.

I love watching your grocery hauls! I don't buy organic normally, so not sure if this pertains to organic, but please make sure your peanut butter you are giving the dogs doesn't contain Xylitol/Xylitol Gum. It is extremely toxic for dogs. I give my little dog an acid reducer pill every morning and that's how I give her the pill as well. She loves peanut butter. lol It must be a mom thing! When I go shopping with my mom, never fails I always end up getting things I didn't know I needed. lol

I always love your haul videos because they are always so relatable!

I love grocery store hauls! Gives me so many ideas! Keep them coming ❤️🤩

Ta;liking about menstruation products is not TMI as far as I’m concerned. They’re a fact of life, and having people like you talk about how you feel and what you like or dislike about these products is very helpful for the rest of us. I love watching all your videos. Thank you for sharing.🌹Rosie of Oz🇦🇺 & 🐶Omega the Cavalier🐶

Lastly, I use a menstrual cup & cloth pads. If I *had* to use disposable products, finding organic tampons with cardboard would be my go-to option as well!! I normally have one box in my closet just in case I need it or a friend over needs it.

Fun to see your grocery hauls, Becky. You must be a great chess player. Always thinking many steps (meals) ahead. Thanks for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving to you and those you love.

I can not tell you how excited I was to find out that Azure delivers to Phoenix. We have a hard time growing some things here so it’s amazing to be able to stock up on things from them that I can’t grow myself.

Great job Becky! Loved the pantry and food room tour and the grocery haul. My issue is my house is sooo small I am having trouble finding space to put my stock up items. I can't use the garage, even using toats. Winter would be ok because it stays cold but summers are 3 digits! I use bottom of closets, under beds. Moved appliances to shelves in garage and used their space. Now they are sitting in milk crates in the living room floor!

Deva Cup is life!!! Highly recommend it!

What a great idea to use ginger snap cookies for crumb pie crust. Can’t wait to try this!

We best our house with a wood stove as well and absolutely love it! Our bed is also farthest away from the stove and it gets cold but it feels so nice once your in with all the blankets lol

I love, love my heating blanket! I turn down heat, and crank up the blanket. It works for me...☺

Thanks Becky! Love your explications for us in Europe! Your videos are great and inspire me to cook from scratch! Hugs from France 🇫🇷 !!

I enjoyed watching your grocery haul and you explaining what you do with different things you bought. 👍🏾❤❤❤

I absolutely adore you. Peas were my husband’s favorite. 🥲 Thanks !! Love living vicariously through you. ♥️🥰😘❣️🍁🦃

You’ve gotta try a cup!!! They are so much nicer! Less cramps, less changing, never smells, no chemicals, no plastics! It did take me a few periods to get used to inserting but now it’s very simple and quick! Only change morning and night usually!!

I'm on month 3 of using a diva cup. It takes a bit to get used to but I'm loving it so far!

Hi Becky - just love your channel and content. You are so much like me it's ridiculous! I have 24 yrs. on you, so I cannot and do not accomplish what you do these days, but your videos motivate me to do more than I have been! Just wanted to say, I had a fur baby with epilepsy (he's passed from old age last year), but anyway, he developed it when he was 1 and he lived to be 2 weeks short of 13 (best guess because he was a rescue). I had to give him medication 2 X per day precisely every 12 hours. Once we got his seizures under control and his medication at the therapeutic level (within a month of the first seizure). He never had one that I'm aware of again. That's 11+ yrs and he was a big boy (German Shepherd). I started giving him his meds with peanut butter, but the day it got stuck to the roof of his mouth with the pill, was the last day he would take peanut butter. I had to become very creative and some other things that work are: cream cheese, liver sausage and hot dogs. I wasn't crazy about giving him processed food bites 2 X a day, so I started making 'mush'; which was lean ground beef or pork (cooked) and ground in the food processor with either cooked carrots, peas or green beans. This makes a somewhat wet and moldable consistency. It freezes really well too. Just thought that I'd share this information with you. Please know that your little friend can live a seizure free life as long as you are diligent about not going over 12 hours between doses as anit-seizure medication doesn't have a half life. Happy Thanksgiving and many thanks again for your channel, content and simply being adorable you!!

I love my heated blanket! So worth the investment. I really loved this haul. You go slowly enough and explain why you bought stuff which I appreciate. Also your TMIs are funny and cute.

Hey Lovely..Hope ur well…love all of your vids Becky..u always amaze me at your shopping hoards/haul & tht u make it look so very easy..Thanks huni keep them coming xxx ❣️❤️🥰🧑‍🍳

I am blow away watching all you do. A true inspiration.

Fairly new subscriber and I’ve been binge watching the HECK out of your channel while at work. I have a desk job and watching your videos just makes the day more enjoyable! I went to culinary school and love cooking and food in general, it’s my biggest passion, to find someone else who is just like me in that sense and loves being in the kitchen is just so refreshing. Your channel has given me so many ideas and has just re-inspired my passion and creativity with my food. Now the main reason for my comment…..try the menstrual cup…..LIFE CHANGING! I put it over for 3 years now because honestly they scared the bejesus out of me. I made the switch to organic cotton tampons but still felt very wasteful….not to mention I have really painfully and heavy periods and I heard the cup is supposed to help reduce those symptoms….so I bought one last month and it has really changed my mind. Don’t get me wrong, a little tricky the first time, but once you get the hang of it it feels so liberating lol. Love your channel, truly obsessed! Can’t wait for more gardening content as that’s something else I’ve been Interested in trying 😊

I love watching grocery hauls! I am always learning new things from you. Really sorry to hear one of your fur babies is having some health issues.

I love Mae Ploy chili sauce and use it on so many things. One of the favorites is with fried/scrambled eggs. So good.

Love grocery hauls! Hope you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Love your grocery haul. For my coleslaw recipe, I use a package of coleslaw, but I shred it smaller. Then I add Miracle whip, & Splenda. When you use the Splenda, use 1/4 cup to 1 cup of regular white sugar. So it is 3-4 tablespoons with the 1/4 cup of Splenda. When I make & serve this coleslaw, this doesn't last long. This is delicious.

Growing up dates were only available during the holidays. My mother always stuffed the date with peanut butter and rolled in powdered sugar. It was a treat. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

You are so real my dear. Really chuckled about your story with your hubby and then bed. have a wonderful Thanksgiving at your moms home!❤️💙💜🥰

I love your videos! So interesting to see what other people buy especially as I live in New Zealand!

We, too, love Garofalo pasta. Something I learned from my big sis after she was stationed in Naples, Italy…in Italy, pasta is extruded through bronze plates which gives it more texture to hold the sauce. US made pasta is extruded through stainless steel plates and is very smooth resulting in pasta that sits in sauce instead of holding the sauce. After she said that I realized it was something I had noticed between authentic Italian restaurant pasta and my cheaper store brand pasta I used at home, but never knew why. Fred Meyer (Kroger) has a Private Selection (I think) that is labeled as bronze cut and it is my go-to when I run out of costco pasta.

A heated mattress pad is amazing too. You can get them with dual controls. Here in Wisconsin they help keep toasty.😊

Oh Becky, just saw the heated blanket comment from my fellow Canuck - they are worth their weight in gold. Also, try an electric mattress pad. Heats you from the bottom up. Most have dual controls & more wiring down around the feet. Toasty.

I can't wait for the grueye, mushroom, onion Puff pastries! They sound amazing!

Love watching all your videos! If you decide to get a new bed, I highly recommend getting a Purple mattress. We’ve had ours for about 5 years and it’s fabulous! Two of my daughters have had theirs even longer and still love them too.

Your videos are a mini mental vacation for me ❤️

Sweet chili sauce is absolute life! You’re gonna loooove it🥰

I like Woodchuck pear hard cider. So good!

Love all your hauls. Thanks for sharing them. 🤗

Just love all your films thank you so much from Aberdeen Scotland

We too live in Washington and I also bought that blanket. I absolutely love it. So nice getting into a warm bed!

I made the carmelized onion dip for a work thing and it was FABULOUS! Everyone was in love with it! Thanks! Doing the Dates next!

The Ace Pear Cider is a favorite at our house. The Pineapple is amazing too!

Cloth pads are awesome. I buy mine from sellers on etsy and facebook. All natural and so comfy. Works well with my sensitive skin

I Love your energy!! Glad I found your channel! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

Pressure canning meat is so easy and rewarding! You'll do great!

I highly recommend a heated mattress pad vs the blanket. The heat transfers so much better from you laying on it vs it being on top of you.

Give the menstral cup a try! I was scared too, but a good friend convinced me to try it and I’ll never go back! The first cycle I used it I was kind of uncomfortable it, but after that I got the hang of it. It doesn’t go in as far as a tampon. I think my symptoms are not as bad now either! It’s a great great thing!

I have both an electric heated fleece blanket and a electric under blanket to go on the mattress under the sheet! It’s the best. I use that for the bed (obviously lol) and the heated blanket for the sofa when we are chilling. We actually use a duvet more often as it’s free but if it’s really really cold the heated blanket comes out.

Hi Becky, I am watching your previous videos to catch up. Your grocery haul is very interesting. There are items I have never heard of before so I need to check them out. Take care.🌞

I love you!! I could watch your videos all day lol!! 😊🥰

I love watching your channel, and I"m able to watch it around my kids (which is a big plus!). My youngest child loves seeing your chickens and my older one and I like to talk about what we would plant if we had a garden like yours. We live in the Portland area also, so its fun to see the places you go. We always buy our mayo at Costco because they have the Primal Kitchen mayo made with avocado oil, just FYI. Thanks again for making all of your videos!

Thanks for sharing you grocery haul always fun to watch 🥰

First- I love all your videos and it’s so exciting to see how your channel has grown! Second- so sorry to hear about your fur baby having seizures. I also have a dog that suffers from seizures and when your baby gets tired of the peanut butter try Liverwurst. Literally the most disgusting meat paste on Earth, but it works like a charm. Just a tiny bit because I know it’s not the healthiest, but it does work. Just wanted to give you a tip since I was scrambling when my dog got tired of all my other tricks. 🤣

Becky I loved the onion dip I’ll make it for Xmas. Love your hauls and all your videos happy thanksgiving

Loved this! *we have a queen bed also but always buy king linens...just extra blanket to keep down the tugging back and forth 😉

Thanks for the haul video and for sharing info on personal care products from Azure. I had no idea they had such diverse products. Hoping they'll add some drop off locations near me someday. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Great haul becky! Enjoyed u talking about all of it!

I just made the carmelized onion dip and cranberry salsa! Delicious!!!!

loving your nails, becky. congratulations on your channel doing well enough to help you start buying the things you've wanted, but couldn't justify buying. my husband would love a dual zone heated blanket. i keep our room cold and he freezes. so he throws extra blankets on.

Your tea thingy looks like the bur holder that you throw in the ultrasonic cleaner before autoclaving 😂

I lived in a rv for several years. We used an electric blanket and it was a life saver. Low amps, lightweight and warm

I do believe your grocery haul is the biggest I’ve seen so far! I love that May Ploy chili sauce with my Thai soup. A must have. 👍

🤣love heated blanket story. Nice to have dual zones. Your videos rock by the way
