They are actually discount grocery stores. They can save you a bundle, if you shop there first! Then, when you see something for $1.29 that would have cost $2.79 even at Walmart, buy a couple extra to tuck back in your pantry.

I started canning in Oct. of 2019 because we were moving from WA. State, clear over to PA. I just bought a TON of meat and frozen veggies from Costco, and I didn't want to lose all that food I'd just bought. . I started doing research on RU-vid, and came across some amazing ladies that had been canning for years, so I started doing it myself. I ended up with about 6 or 7 cases of ground beef and chicken, frozen veggies, and I was so glad I did. . When we got to PA, we didn't have work, we didn't have means to go to the store, so we at least had what I'd canned up before we left. . It was THEN that I started baking my own bread, my own rolls, and so on. . I've since then added more and more jars to my collection, lol. . . and I can all year round. . If I find something on sale, I grab it, and can it up. . when the holidays are here, and they put all the turkeys, and ham's on sale, I buy extra so I can make turkey through out the year. . I make all my broths, my bread crumbs, and now even English muffins myself. . I'm an older woman, (64) but I don't plan on stopping anytime soon! thank you for ALL your videos! They are so inspiring!! :) xox

I want to share a tip; at my local grocery outlet there was a sale of grass fed Irish butter, $1 for 8 oz , the reason it was going on sale was because it was approaching it’s “best by” date. I bought a lot of them, stored some in the freezer but most of them I turned into ghee/clarified butter which extends the life from 6 months to 1 year more.

Becky - thank you!!! you helped me avoid a total food-loss disaster. I saw your pantry challenge and decided to join the “event”. For the month of Feb and part of March we lived off food in the pantry, refrigerator, and garage freezer (bought during the pandemic). We made a SIGNIFICANT dent in the garage freezer- it was super exciting! Last week our refrigerator died. We don’t have a spare fridge. Our mini fridge has just enough room for what little produce and bread we have. Because of the pantry challenge 85% of the refrigerator contents was able to fit in the garage freezer and our neighbors have just enough room to store the rest. We’re living off a cooler with ice with just the essentials until our new fridge arrives. Were it not for this challenge and us eating the majority of the garage freezer contents (thus us making room) we would have lost A LOT of meat (and food) from the refrigerator because it would not have fit!!! Girl! Because I was inspired to do this pantry challenge, we avoided a food-loss disaster!!! So thank you! thank you! thank you!!!🙏🙏🙏. Love ur videos! Keep up the great work and inspiration!!!

Next thing will be some walkie talkies. 💙

An alternative for hydrogen peroxide, depending on what you're using it for, is hair developer. I use hydrogen peroxide to whiten animal bones and for several months all the stores near me were out of it but I was able to use hair developer instead.

My husband ridiculed me for even gardening last year! Thought it was absurd. The first thing that I harvested was radishes which he “hates.” He asked what those things were that look like radishes? “They’re called…radishes, but not from the store.” He pushed them aside uneaten. It was his turn in the kitchen and after a while he came in and said, “I was wrong. I had no idea it would taste so different. They’re amazing.” From them on he started bragging about all the produce and was helping everyday in the yard.

Hi Linda! I’ve been married 47 years & had to fight my husband every time I bought groceries. Makes no sense, bc he eats EVERYTHING snack wise in 3 days! 🥴 He works 2 jobs, age 66, kidney transplant recipient, & fit & lean. He never thought we should buy extra when on sale. No sense, bc he grew up starving in Kentucky, having a single Mom & 4 kids. Dad left when he was 3. I only shop once a month, then make fill in trips. Never food stamps. I hate shopping! I always keep 4 loaves bread, each wrapped in a grocery plastic bag & frozen. When Covid lockdown hit, he went to grocery bc I was ill, (not Covid). They were OUT of bread, flour, sugar, snacks, fruits, Toilet paper, meats. Out for several months. Flour cost rose to $18 5 lb bag. My husband WOKE UP❗️ He is hilarious now. He’s become an amazing bargain shopper. Garbage picker. If someone has something sitting outside for a while, he stops & asks about it. He’s found amazing bargains which he’s made 100’s of 💰on. I’m amazed that he actually learned what I had been begging him to do for 47 YEARS ❗️🙄 Think of all the fighting that shouldn’t have happened. 😡 MEN‼️

I live by myself in a one-BR apt with little cabinetry space, and one helluva dinky freezer. I also have a small budget, even with SNAP benefits. So bulk buying like this is a "someday" thing.

Must admit, the idea of making my own brown sugar is very appealing. 😁

Thanks Becky! Love your videos. I had my first baby 3 months ago and since then have been very interested in scratch cooking and building up my pantry. Your videos are wonderful!! I have family down in Oregon in dexter (I live in British Columbia) that have a gorgeous ranch and garden that we cook from when we visit. All local meats and dairy from surrounding farms - the food just tastes different! Hope you’re having a great weekend

This is how we could afford for me to stay at home..... I cooked.... canned... made my own baby food...was luckily able to breast feed....and cloth diapered ( I had 20 all in one adjustable ones... it’s super easy now to do this) ) it was actually cheaper for me to stay home this way... if I used formula; reg diapers; daycare; gas etc I only made 200 a month.... but then that 200 plus some got eaten up with the extra convenience groceries and eating out since I didn’t have time or energy to do scratch cooking

I LOVE Gamma Seal lids but the price for me is an issue. My work around is to have a lid for every bucketed item but not for every bucket. I only have the Gamma Seals on my OPEN/in use buckets. Thanks so much for your time and enthusiasm it makes it so much easier to not get bogged down trying to keep up.

Fresh yeast is my favourite and very low on price here in germany (42gramm/1.45 oz =0.20 Eurocent /0.22$) and I buy it every now and then and frezze it. So I have always upt to 10 packages in Stock and there are easy to use - just thaw them and go baking or cooking - they act like fresh yeast. I love your channel and althoug I Iive in the city just with a balcony I will try to harvest some potates in the bucket this year. Sorry for my english I hope you can undestand it.🥰💗💗

Great video Becky! I've always kept a stocked pantry but it's helpful to see what others stock and how they use the items. Sometimes there are things I have not thought of. And I do agree we need to be paying attention to what's happening right now and prepare just in case. This community is great that we are like minded in that way and always willing to share knowledge. I've adding a few things to my shopping list so thank you so much for doing this video.

My mom was a child during the Depression, but she also came through the time when frozen foods and "easy" processed food was introduced as a help to the harried housewife. My mom also worked a full time job as a bank teller so the only time she cooked anything close to scratch was on the weekends. She was in her mid 50's before she and dad planted a garden and she started to can things. I was never encouraged to be in the kitchen as I was growing up, so I'm a self taught scratch cooker. I started adding to my pantry because I was a single mom, working full time, and money was tight. My first husband fought me tooth and nail in putting anything extra in the pantry, preferring to go out to eat all the time. It took a little convincing with my current husband to show the benefits of having a stocked pantry, but in the last couple of years, he has totally embraced having a little more than what he considers necessary. Now we only go to the local stores if they have a good sale on meat or fresh produce. Otherwise, we go to Sam's once a month and stock up. I love it and he loves my scratch cooking!

@maehsweet 2 года назад

I love your channel and I really appreciated this video. For me, yes it is so important to be stocked up because I love to play in the kitchen and there’s nothing more frustrating than not having an ingredient on hand when I am able or want to experiment. But the more important point - which I love that you shared - is having enough so that you can help others. We have six children, with five out on their own. I’ve been able to give them items from our stocked pantry to help them out when things got a little tight. I have also had health issues which don’t allow me to work at the moment, so it’s been a blessing to be able to still eat well on a leaner budget. I save my grocery dollars more for fresh produce and some meat items for my husband and son because we have grains and other things stored so I can round out the meal. Can’t wait for the rest of your series!

@jeanniecollins3332 2 года назад

Another good source for food grade buckets is to go to your local farm store. The food grade 5 gallon buckets at my local Tractor Supply Company were about $3. Hardware stores often have the Gamma lids, too. I get mine at our Menards for between $5-$6, depending. They also have food grade buckets in different sizes (3.5 gallon can be helpful if you don't need 5 gallons worth stored!). Always check that the buckets are food grade, though.

Since having kids, I feel less anxious knowing that I have enough food to keep my family fed for at least two months in times of crisis. My pantry was put to the test when we didn't have water and electricity for one week and everyone was panic buying. I was also able to stay out of the grocery store at the beginning of the pandemic and when I had Covid. Learned to definitely have extra propane to cook and wood for heat.

@beverlybenson9981 7 месяцев назад

Becky, it's so encouraging to see you at your age doing stocking up. I had learned to do this when I was first married in the mid-60s. In the 70s, when I was raising a family, prices were high for everything compared to income. Beef prices were out of site. I bought a lot of chicken. We had a vegetable garden and I canned. I also took advantage of canned goods sales. I still stock up for my husband and I. Blessings to you. ❤

Hi Becky. I am from the U.K., retired and love watching your videos. I actually bought a couple old storage buckets with Gamma lids for my bread flours as I buy them in bulk. It was an expensive way of doing it but I love the storage and lids and I cannot find anywhere in the U.K. with food safe bins that can use gamma lids. They are a very good idea. Today, for the first time ever, I have tried canning. I must admit that I was very nervous but I was so excited when I actually managed to get a seal on my jars first time! I canned stewed apples with no sugar added. I made mistakes as I can see air pockets in the jars so I will keep an eye on them. I make apple chutney and jams which I’ve done for years but I’ve never tried canning. I have an induction hob that turns itself on and off so I was a bit worried that I wouldn’t get the water to boiling but I used my jam thermometer so I knew when it had reached boiling point. I only did three small jars - about 4oz as I don’t have a pot tall enough to place bigger jars in. If this apple stew is successful then I may invest in one and can stewed fruit that my husband and I eat a lot of. If it hadn’t been for you, I would never have tried doing this so thank you.

@synnveskaaheim8283 2 года назад

I am so so happy you clarified that this video wasn't to instil fear and promote stockpiling! Not that I thought that was your intention, but it's so easy to trigger those things in people with all the crazyness going on for the past few years. I have never had room in my house for a proper stocked pantry (UK houses are quite a lot smaller than US ones) but I completely resonate with your reasons for why doing it, and in my new house I will now be looking into in what that could look like in my small space kitchen :) You're amazing Becky, thanks for all you do!!

As an older mother of six, we kept some staples in our pantry. Our staples were different than yours, but keeping a stocked pantry is a wonderful idea. For us back then it was white rice because brown rice goes rancid in 6 months, dried beans, powdered milk, canning salt, sugar, baking soda, vinegar, and spices. As long as I had a very good garden and chickens for eggs, these basics were enough to feed our family of 8. The only addition was 50 pounds of oatmeal annually for winter breakfasts. I would buy soybeans and make soy milk and tofu to put in our stir fry. Mung beans are sprouted for bean sprouts. Salt and vinegar were used for pickling everything from eggs to cucumbers. Flour goes rancid, so it is better to store wheat berries and get a grain mill.

Your story about baking with friends and running out of ingredients made me laugh. My mom had just enough and we often were short flour, sugar, crisco etc and would have to call a neighbor (1960s). Our neighbors 2 doors up were Mormon and had the most full pantry I'd ever seen. Once I was on my own I always had an extra can or package in the cupboard for backup. By the time I had children Price Club/Costco was growing and I absolutely loved stocking up. Having two jars of mayo, back up olive oil, ketchsup, mustard, coffee, garlic salt, sugar, pasta, canned goods... it's just my way of life. Today it is just me but my pantry has expanded to include mid to long term storage to save both money and time and to have peace of mind. In tough times I have enough to help my adult kids, close friends and neighbors
