Can I make a suggestion. Do not bring the boxes from the grocery store into your home. Take it from a licensed pest control operator. Bugs love to hide inside the cardboard.
Thank you, good to know!
Yep. The roaches. I have to constantly remind my bf of that!
After I had a bug problem over 2 years ago I bought PLASTIC SHELVES.
Bugs went away and haven't had a problem since.
Oh my. Thank you for the tip! 😳
100% True 😳 👍 🪳
I took our tax return this year and decided to start a running freezer and "pantry" but its really more like a store. After struggling last year when coronavirus started and everything in the stores was empty, i vowed to keep a running rotation. I made a list of everything we use the most often. Meats that i could buy in bulk packages at sams and break into smaller sets. I have kept up with it and i literally have everything we use at all times. The only thing i buy weekly is fresh fruit produce and dairy and different breads. I have everything from pantry foods, all person items bathroom necessities, cleaning supplies.. you name it. It's here. It's been great for meal planning too!
As for breads on You Tube there is a guy who has a no knead bread channel called Artisan bread with Steve. It changed the way we keep bread on hand. His parmesan Italian herb bread is awesome. I rarely have bought bread in three years. Uses 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of yeast and develops over 18-24 hours. Its so flexible. Those loaves are almost $5 at our local grocer now! Little Village homestead on YT has a Easy home made bread recipe that can be bread, rolls and cinnamon rolls. I save so much money making my own baked goods now.
Awesome job
Awesome! I started as soon as I could after seeing empty shelves. I reminded myself to keep a steady rotation and inventory.
Such a good idea for those who get money back on taxes instead of spending it on a TV or other non essential items. Kudos to you.
Remember to stock up on vehicle supplies if you own one
Motor oil fuel air oil filters good tires or a spare set antifreeze few bulbs power steering oil transmission oil you know
If you own a chainsaw the same game with parts chainsaw for me is heat cooking building shelter I live way north so 30 below is common take care be safe
We love Aldi. They have good products at reasonable prices.
😁😁😁
Stores prices are different per town. If you go to a lower income area, the prices are lower. Walmart does this.
I didn't know I could freeze hummus! I'm excited about that, thanks for sharing. Smaller family here but I've bought in bulk for awhile and that haul doesn't look scary or overwhelming- it looks wonderful and satisfying!! What is it about other people's grocery stock ups that are so fun to watch? I love them! 😄 Great video. You always have lots of good tips and advice without being panicky about shortages, just peaceful and wise. Thank you!!
Thank you, Erica!

May I suggest adding instant Jello to your inventory. Many just add water, others add milk. No cooking involved, cheap and lasts for years. Comfort food for all.
TOMATO PASTE SUGGESTION: Prep. tomatoes: remove skins and seeds. Place in a food processor and blend until smooth. repeat until you can fill a gallon-sized pitcher. Place in the frig. overnight and allow to separate. Drain off the "tomato water" -- save for making soup. Freeze the raw paste in the bottom of the pitcher in ice cube trays. Pop out and store in the freezer in ziploc bags. Yum!
The “tomato water” is also good for cooking rice or pasta in.
Fantastic idea! Thanks!
Great idea
Thanks for a great idea!!
I'm 74, my great grandmother taught me to cut up ur tomatoes, put in a pillow case overnight to drain. Doesn't take hardly any time with what's in the pillow case to make ketchup, tomatoes paste/ spaghetti sauce, etc. I also do this with cooked apples for applesauce, etc
Added plus is I can the drained liquid for soups, flavoring, etc. 👍
OMG! the amount of knowledge she knows about each item is mind blowing... its always best to 'home make' all your goods but when it comes to time and effort she knows whats up, especially when you have a big family and youre not in an emergency situation.... this is good info...
I use a bold Sharpie to mark the "use by" date in big font on lids or near the top of the items as I shelve them....so I can easily keep track of what I need to use up.
Very good idea!
I do the same except I write it right on the front label, that way I can see it without searching through each can. It takes a little time but it saves time when I’m shopping in my pantry.
I put the BBD and the PD on my items
*BBD = BEST BUY DATE
*PD = PACKED DATE
Excellent idea
Getting my Sharpies out.
Thanks so much
I’ve got a really good tip for you about hummus. If your multicooker has a dehydration setting or if you have a food dehydrator, you can dehydrate your hummus. This ends up as a powder which can be stored in a glass jar. You just need to add water when you wish to reconstitute it. So you might make up 4 tablespoons of hummus powder at a time. Brilliant!
Thank you, Catherine!
That sounds awesome! I'm the only one in my household who will eat it!
Super idea! I would never have thought to do that. I've recently been dehydrating eggs and celery.
Wow! I'm amazed. I'll have to try this.
This is a beautiful reminded that as life changes no matter the hows or the whys , being prepared can bring peace
I have been stocking up over the last month also. It’s just me and my husband, My current plan is each time I need something I try to buy at least double and put the extra in the pantry storage. If it’s shampoo, buy two bottles, if it’s kitchen staples buy the one you need plus one or two for storage. I’ve built a nice supply of items for cushion in harder times.
Very wise indeed! Slow and steady 🙂
Single senior here - I stock up on Freeze dried foods (not military rations) example: 1 gallon size can of corn (no additives) I get fruit, veggies, proteins, then can make soup with a cup of water, and tablespoon of each veggie I want, some bullion, protein - no waste, in lightweight cans easy for me to handle. Tastes like fresh I can use in casseroles or salads, even pizza. Shelf life up to 25 years, once opened 1 year shelf life. Love it. Note I can't find your pizza sauce recipe ... help
I believe they have a tomato sauce recipe included in this video on making pasta: ua-cam.com/video/WkKKQadzAmI/v-deo.html
It's for spaghetti, but I think it is the same sauce they use for pizza?
Hope that helps!
Our washing repairman told us to use just 2T. of liquid detergent. I always watered ours down but still used too much. I started measuring and now i can eyeball it. It’s a huge savings if you tend to be a bit heavy handed.
Love hauls! Thank you for sharing!
Yes, great advice. With a family of 8 on a homestead I'm doing laundry all the time. This works definitely stretch it. Thank you ❤️
Agreed! I use about 2 tablespoons.
My washing machine repair man said to use powder it saves your washer for yrs longer..I had been using liquid but with what I’ve read after he said that,I switched back to powder
@@cheriwhitley8385 did he say why the powder was better?
@@dontask3528 something about liquid left behind after u wash can cause mold.it starts in the drawer and spreads through the the pipes and into the drum..they both work but the liquid can cause damage more than powder will.my mom had always used powder and she had one machine for 25 yrs before she got a new one.so I switched back to powder after he told me that..if it ain’t broke,..as they say..new may not always be better lol
Never heard of putting mustard in tuna salad, but love the open face on crusty bread idea. My mother , God rest her soul, used to make our ketchup and spaghetti sauce, I LOVED helping her! One year she realized we had planted too much cabbage in the garden so we made and canned so much sauerkraut , we gave some to aunts and uncles and a few favorite neighbors , they loved it. Thank you for what you share, it means alot especially now. I come from a family of 8, the oldest of 6, so I learned alot from my sweet mother. You're doing such a great job. 👍
Try subbing avocado oil for the veggie oil... Mild flavor like the veggie oil but healthier. Also has a high smoke point so it's good for sauteing. It's great in baking, salad dressings and more! Nice haul! -Melissa Keith 💖
Yes, absolutely. We love avocado oil too:)
Can i use avocado oil in cake mixes?
@@floridastitcher1 yes, sure can!
@@honeybeems Thanks for that answer! I. Don’t bake much anymore but it’s nice to know. I did wonder if it was a bit too heavy for cakes. 😃
That’s what we use just for baking! 🙂
Thank you for your channel. I'm new to stocking up on supplies. Now, it's a necessity. You have wonderful ideas for our changing world. God is good and I'm grateful for your channel. Bless you.
I had such a hard time getting my stocking started, I felt like I was so late getting started that anything I did wouldn't be enough. I tried several things that different videos suggested but IDK why, I just couldn't get started. I finally just took $100 and went to Sam's and got 100# each rice, beans and flour, a couple large 3# shortening cans, 50# sugar, 25# salt, a large jar of baking powder and a large package of baking soda. That would probably be $200 now. And I slept well that night. After that I was able to get the "other" things, no problem. Everyone is different, for me, I needed something more to start with than a week's worth. If you haven't started, I hope this helps you.
So glad you got started on stocking up. It literally makes me smile when someone starts stocking up.
@@NorthnSouthHomestead That was over 10 years ago. I keep adding, and I eat out of my stash.
@@kyfarm Same here, We've had a working and storage pantry since 2011. I love that I can just goto the pantry and get what I need, when I need it. I don't know why everyone doesn't do it. lol. It's like having a grocery store in your home. Takes alot of stress off, knowing its there.
I feel the same way. I am on disability and can't afford to even get a real pantry going. How do yall suggest I could start one cheaply and should it he just shelf stable or get freezer things? I am lost and in tears reading everything. 😢
Watch Appalachia Homestead with Patera. She is very good at showing you how to build up your pantry. She is super sweet and funny too.
Firstly, I'd love to see how you make your homemade dishwasher soap. Secondly, I absolutely love your channel! I've meal planned and have had grocery hauls just like this for a few years now, but I still love watching your videos to get new ideas, and take in your words of wisdom.
Thank you, Lindsay!
Do you have receipes for dishwasher and washing machine detergents? I am a newbie here but love what I have seen so far!
Just found your channel...awesome stockpiling video. Unfortunately, I'm getting a real late start in doing this...being 65 and on SS I'm limited on how much I can afford plus I no longer can drive and have to have someone to take me to the store. I will get there slowly by God's Grace. He has blessed me this far and I know He will continue. After all He is in control. God bless and stay safe 🙏❤
Really appreciate your wonderful presentation. Thanks.
New to your channel. We love ALDI’s. We shop ALDI’s once a month. We don’t have a ALDI’s near us, we drive 45 minutes to the nearest store. Thank you for sharing.
I can’t imagine stocking up, cooking and cleaning for 8.
I can 8 ounce jars of meat and veggies in pints. My cupboard is looking pretty good. I am blessed to be able to share with members of my family. The Lord is good.
I would like to have your laundry and dishwasher detergent recipes please. Good video today, thank you, Linda
For tomato paste, I dehydrate my tomatoes and any of the skins I would toss. Grind into powder. When I need paste just stir water and the powder til right consistency. Basically free and takes up less space!
Also a great idea. Tomato powder is overlooked by alot of ppl.
I had to put a bunch of mine in the freezer. Can I take the tomatoes out and thaw them and dehydrate them to have the powder like this?
Thank you for sharing your supplies and why you stock up, helpful information.
I am blessed to have a sister who picks up my groceries and supplies for me as I heal from heart procedure and recovery. You are a blessing, God bless
Thank you, Kathy!
Fast Forward to 10/22. I am thankful that I started prepping for the what-ifs. Tough times on the horizon. Be safe and God Bless
Great video. I always enjoy seeing ppl be responsible and making sure their family wont go hungry. Keep it up sweets.
I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU!!!FOR SHARING YOU LIFE HERE ON UA-cam WITH EVERYONE HERE IN THIS AT THIS TIME OF DESTRESS IN OUR COUNTRY!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT TO PREPPERING FOR EACH OF OUR OWN FUTURES!!!! THANK YOU FOR SHAREING!!!!! BE BLESSED ALWAYS!!!
Thank you, Terry!!!
Also, just a thought on stocking up: the barter system is amazing! I would trade home baked goods for firewood. Learn to use your your skills to obtain things you can't produce.
For tomato paste I just dehydrate my tomatoes and then rehydrate at a 2:1 ration. Makes perfect tomato paste. 😊
I'm probably watching this program very late I just came by this channel by accident but I'm glad I did ask you're asking for recipes for ketchup all you have to do is follow what they have used as ingredients and then sweeten it up a little more it works just fine I have not tried it myself but I do know someone that has and I've tasted it and it is great.
Yep. Get it now, eat next month at last year's price.
Picked up almost 24 canned hams at Aldi's 3 weeks ago. Definitely not the healthiest, but , oh so tasty.
Cooked our turkey this week. 60% in freezer, stock for soup, and holiday dinner in my belly.
Once I’m done canning tomatoes I dehydrate the rest and make tomato powder .. it can be used to make sauce or paste and takes up very little space
I love your videos. I’ve been stocking up for a while and have questions on storing rice, beans and pasta in jars. Please do a video
It does this Gramma’s heart good to know you are fully supplied!❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks, I like that you show people that can buy store-bought as well as can/freeze and dehydrate.
Tell Annie that before freezing butter to put it in a ziploc or some such freezer bag, lasts longer and won’t pick up other odors
I find it fascinating to see grocery/stocking up videos. Only two of us and I can’t imagine buying that much at one time! Small space for storage so I might have three months of food. When I shop I get 3-5 items for future use.
I am visiting my mom in Houston and she lives 1 mile away from Aldi’s. I went two weeks ago, bought some items but tomorrow gonna shop again.Can’t wait.
I completely agree with the prices continually going up! We feed seven and had the same weekly budget.
On your Azure order - those mixed vegies from there are great too - big box of them. I reorganize the bags and freeze as they are all in one big bag. Love Aldi too :)
In baking, any recipe that calls for vegetable oil can be switched out with shortening or pure lard.
Personally I use lard and warm it prior to mixing in.
And applesauce! Many times applesauce can be subbed for butter. (Depending on the recipe, obviously.)
If you have a cake mix that calls for 1cup of oil you can use applesauce instead.
Thank you so much. Start small.
Great advice. A few extra items a week, eventually is a blessing on how high food cost and gasoline is currently. Thank you.
Just found your channel. I wanted to say that it’s super easy to make your own brown sugar. You just add molasses to your granulated sugar. Less for light, more for dark.
Thank you for this, very interesting planning, very helpful. God bless you and your family!
Have you ever consider making a trail mix with the nuts and raisins? My husband and I have a large size container from Walmart that we put a mixture of nuts, dried fruit and raisins in.
Yes, definitely. I keep it separate for storage but definitely throw together trail mix from time to time.
I often make a trail mix for my hubs too as I can control what goes in as if I left it up to him he grabs the one with lots of chocolate in it. I will put a few bit of chocolate in for him but not as much as a commercial blend would have but I also put in his favorite cereal for snacking those strawberry or blueberry shredded wheat bites. He likes those better than granola.
@@Emeraldwitch30 c-
Totally feel ya! We are a family of 6.. I shop Doller General and Save a Lot every other week.. And spend about 300 every other week.. And I struggle to keep that budget. We grow a large garden and husband hunts.. Hoping to get animals soon to help. But I feel ya! Your doing great! Sending love from Michigan ❤
Had a bumper crop of tomatoes a few years back & tried making ketchup. Still have a few 1/2 pts sitting on the shelf. I occasionally
Yes, please share the recipe for the laundry soap
I buy those mixed veggies and dehydrate. Perfectly easy and last so long and are so convenient.
Canned or frozen?
@@michellerobison7954 Frozen. Since they are already blanched, one only needs to put them on the dehydrator trays and let it work its magic!
Thank you for the kind words/reminders at the end of your video! It brought a lot into perspective! Well said!! When I go to the store to pick up extra items, I will hear your words! Thank you again! I would love to see how you make homemade butter!
3 ingredient ketchup… all natural and plant based: 3 dates, 2 tomatoes (preferably Roma or Plum), 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes, and sea salt to taste… process: soak dates and sundried tomatoes in warm water for 10 minutes. Then blend all ingredients until smooth, store in glass jar and put in fridge … hopefully you’ll love it
God bless you and your family! Keep shining your light!!!
❤️❤️❤️
First time viewer and I really enjoyed this Aldi Haul, I am a family of one, so I don't buy in those quantities but Aldi is my go to store. Thanks for sharing and I will subscribe so I can also catch some of your recipes. Have a Blessed day.
Will you share the homemade dishwasher detergent!
Amen 🙏 I am new to your channel and really appreciate you helping us! We are seeing prices soar in Texas as well as hearing other people out of State commenting! My husband works retail and IF you can get the food items they are going up and up ! God Bless you and your family 🙏🥰
I once heard a pastor say “follow your peace”, and I try to use that wisdom in my prepping.
I admire your wisdom! I don’t feel peace, I feel urgency. I have had that feeling for years…since about 2012, maybe before that. I know I have enough for us but I never feel like I have enough!! All I can think of is God is putting it on my heart to do more, so I do. 😊
@@laurenandreas5950 I totally understand and I sometimes feel the same way. I have to remind myself that when God is leading me, He is never going to bring stress or panic in His leading. He is always way ahead of us and even if we miss His leading, he is merciful and gracious and will get us through every time! I hope this helps you.
I would love to hear how you budget … i am finding it hard to really get our finances under control lately ! God bless x
Great haul, but do u have a video on homemade laundry detergent. I’m wanting to start making mine
You are blessed with your stockpile.
It's going to get tough this summer and worse in the fall. It is all by design. Get busy before panic buying sets in. God Bless us all.
I get the butter thing! I do the same with eggs kinda. I buy organic brown from Walmart or target for eating daily but then some cheap eggs for baking and some cooking for a binder-like meatloaf-it makes sense to me!
I would love to have an Aldi in our town. Maybe some day. Until then, we'll keep shopping the sales and keeping the food storage stocked.
I love watching your channel and seeing the different ways and items that we can store.
Thank you, Connie!
I couldn't make it without Aldi! Hope you get one soon. Their chicken and beef is the best also💛
You did great for that price,some talks about us couponing but when the pandemic hit,the stores was empty,some cried & then wanna know if we selling,times gets hard,you definitely gotta budget prices going up.thx for sharing
Do you have recipe for the clothes detergent and ingredients? Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Always interested in seeing homemade cleaning items, dishwasher and laundry soaps. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you, Tina!
I agree
I made homemade dishwasher tabs and where we live it just didn't clean the dishes. I had to go back to store bought. I also made my homemade laundry soap for YEARS. However, in the last 6-9 months, the products I have used to make them just do not seem as good as they used to. My clothes didn't come clean. I had to switch to store bought laundry soap and it was a remarkable improvement. I don't know if it is the last two years that changed things, but it had become a waste to make my own because it just wasn't cutting it. Makes me sad, making homemade was very economical and i liked to do it.
@@shannonbrice8012 I haven’t tried the homemade dishwasher detergent, but I totally agree that the laundry detergent didn’t clean as well. Our clothes got dingy and it didn’t remove stains even with pre-treating them. We are on a well but we have a softener and use the potassium salt in it. I am stocking up on store bought detergents…what ever is on sale. They can keep the zote soap & washing soda!! 😃
For tomato sauce and paste, I have decided to buy freeze dried powder instead and mix it according to what I need. Dehydrated would be good too. I will have some cans, but not going to can my own probably.
I would like to have while and chunky tomatoes canned though that I have not cooked down.
I would love your dishwasher soap recipe please! Thanks!!!!

I would love your recipe for dishwasher and laundry please.

You can dry tomatoes in oven and when dry can use as tomato paste
Living traditions homestead has a homemade ketchup recipe she made in one of her UA-cam videos. Sarah said she is a ketchup snob and her recipe she uses is better than Heinz ketchup. I have yet to make it but will next year!
I tried it & love it
I will definitely check it out. Thank you.
I agree, Living Traditions ketchup recipe is great. I split the batch in 2 and made half sugar free by request. Most liked the sugar free best and some who don’t like ketchup even liked it!
@@ellaschrock476 is it super sweet? I hate Heinz, too much sugar. It taste funny to me
I was going to say the same thing. Sarah said she’s tried a few and this one is fabulous
It would be nice if you’d share your homemade dishwasher recipe! I’ve tried many and haven’t been able to find a good one!
Great stockpile vid! I personally don't stock brown sugar. Instead i store white sugar and molasses and make brown sugar as i need for baking.
Yes, definitely
How?
Just mix sugar with molasses and use it right away?
@@tammyste1 1 tbsp molasses to 1 cup white sugar, mix until fully incorporated. In theory you could store in an airtight container but i find it easier to just make what i need as i need it.
By storing them separately you don't have as much risk of it going hard, as well as increase the versatility of your pantry.
We invested into a freeze dryer to help with our stock up, it will help so much highly recommend
Im jealous. lol. Oh how I want a freeze drier. lol I'd be constantly freeze drying things. lol.
Would love to see your dishwasher detergent recipe! This is a very thorough haul! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏼😊
We love the Skipjack tuna from Aldi! We are a fish loving family so it's a good quality tuna at a currently affordable price. We've only had an Aldi avaliable to us since August, however it's really helped in my budgeting.
Awesome!
This is great. I will give the aldi tuna a try then. I usually buy tuna in olive oil as I need the calories and the oil helps you absorb the omega benefits better. Plus im kinda gross and will fry a couple eggs in the tuna oil.
I have no clue where I got the love of oily little tins of fish from.
But for my emergency stash we like the chicken noodle soup from Aldi. There are times when even waiting for my homemade from frozen isn't fast enough and popping open that .49cent (usd)can and heating it just hits the spot. Usually its because I'm the last one to get sick and I'm home alone lol.
@@Emeraldwitch30 one thing I really love about the skipjack tuna it is low in mercury. Since it's line-caught we don't have to worry about there being anything but tuna and water in the can. If you find you miss the oil you could always try putting the tuna and some olive oil overnight in the fridge and then using it for your eggs.
@@kristydechant7120 thank you. I buy line caught tuna too. And that's a good idea.
Skipjack was rated the best of 15 brands of tuna. price & taste.
For a healthier mild oil for baking, try avocado oil. It is perfect.
Oil and shortening is the big dilemma in healthy cooking/baking. Avocado oil works for frying but it’s high in omega 6, coconut oil foams when you put enough in the pan to fry. Sometimes you just want to make real French Fries or maybe a real Fried Chicken ! I was very sad when we learned how bad Canola Oil is. It was so much less oily tasting than vegetable oils. I have threatened to buy some and keep it in the freezer since it doesn’t have a rancid smell when it goes bad….ingesting that is highly inflammatory to your body. Needless to say, it’s impossible to find a healthy oil to deep/pan fry with.
Aldi rules! And I so glad they carry organic products. I have around 300 cans of Aldi organic chicken noodle and tomato soups.
Thank you for showing your haul and ideas and tips for how to start.
Thank you, Robin!
Try apples in your tuna, instead of pickels. I was raised on eating alot of fruit and my mother always put apples in our tuna.
Our grocery bill has doubled. I’m so glad to say that we have a 3 year supply stocked up on food. I do love my homemade laundry detergent and bath soap. We can and freeze dry. We are blessed. These are things anyone can do. The money we save on just the soaps goes to other prep items we want. Thank you for sharing. I would love to learn more about your chickens.
Hi Denise. 3 years...that's amazing. So inspiring ☺️
Where do you store it? I have no basement and live in warm area
We have a basement and a newly renovated root cellar that we will be doing a video of ;)
That is wonderful Denise. We are the same way here. Our shopping lists are just replacement items for years now. Makes shopping so much easier.
When I check "use by" dates, the most I can find is 2 years out. Where are you finding 3 years?
I’ve been stocking diligently spending double what I did a year ago; just trying to purchase as much as we possibly may need. I finally realized an easy way for me was to think “12” months of what item. For instance we eat pasta of some sort typically at least once a week. So I needed 12 spaghettis, 12 elbow noodles, shells, rotini, lasagna, etc. Then I make our sauce for some meals but thought I would like “convenience sauce in jars” too. Like you I’ve just purchased enough items to make homemade powdered laundry detergent to last a year. That’s my fall back plan as well.
Get a bottle of molasses and add a spoonful to white sugar, voila, you have inexpensive brown sugar whenever you need it.
I have been stocking up lately and go to different food stores to look for sale or clearance items. I go every couple of days.
Yep!!! We love butter( lol) and stock it up the same way!! I love not running to the store weekly!
I love bulk buying a lot! Happy thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving 😄
@@anniemcelroy2812 living traditions ketchup recipe , she said it’s amazing
I love butter too! X
Yes please share the dishwasher soap recipe. I make my own laundry soap. Also I put the laundry soap into old store bought containers to make it easier to pour into the washer.
Hello there. I watched you the other day. It was interesting to see what you buy from ALDI over there. Wow, if we could get Cashews like that here in the UK. Anyhow, I was interested in what you said about price rises. Seems like we are not the only ones and buying in bulk at one price, stands you in good stead financially. It's good to be as self sufficient as much as possible and you know what the ingredients are so I really enjoy watching your channel. Elaine
Thank you, Elaine!
Just went to Aldi this morning and grabbed a few of these things but you reminded me of some items to put on next week's list. ✌️☺️
Awesome 👍
$5 for 4 sticks of butter at Walmart this week. Video was 10 months ago. You were correct on the escalation of prices
Thanks for the wonderful video. I have never seen this Walmart brand of laundry detergent but the next time I go I'm going to look.
Yes on the dishwasher soap recipe please! 😋
I miss Aldi and it was great to see what you can still get there. Thank you, Annie!
Thank you 😊
I tried making it with a bag of bagged whole spices of ginger ,cinnamon,cloves and a half medium hot pepper.
I don’t consider you hoarding you have a big family which is terrific. I love your videos.
Hello Im a new subscriber LOVE what you do as a person in Chicago yes you better stock up when it snows you WILL GET SNOWED IN !!
I make bread & butter green tomato relish for tuna salad
Great video! This video did not shock me when it comes to price. I have noticed our groceries slowly creep up😒 I make homemade ketchup but cringe at the amount of sugar goes in the recipe. I use it just for meatballs, meatloaf ect... my kids like store bought better for dipping ect. I have to check out the recipe I saw alot of people suggested👍
Wen just upgraded to a "zero water" filter system. It filters out all impurities. I still have the berkey for backup, but I really like the zero water.
I'd love the dishwasher recipe ❤ And have you made a video of what your stock pile actually looks like? I'd love to see that for sure!
Yes, coming soon. We are currently renovating our hundred-year old root cellar. Video coming soon!
@@anniemcelroy2812 yayyyyy!!! I can't wait for that video ❤
