What's In My Food Pantry Room?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 вер 2024
- Today I walk you through my food storage room. Over the past week or so I've watched on social media the hysteria as people are stocking up and clearing the shelves of the grocery store due to the coronavirus. There is peace that comes in not being part of the madness.
I do believe this will pass and when it does that will be a good time to make a plan and build up a reserve that can fit into your budget and space.
There is always going to be the unknown and we simply can not plan for every type of disaster but we can all do a little toward being self reliant. #dothebestyoucan
You have such a comforting presence. ❤️
Kate Ponsar was just thinking that! ❤️
Totally. I've said before they could have their own show on HGTV..
Kate Ponsar that was my thought also...love her!!❤️
Kate Ponsar l
Seriously!!!
Please never stop making videos. I’ve got a 4 year old and a 2 year old and I feel like I’m just starting out my life and could use all the advice you have about literally anything
You are so sweet with me, thank you!
Hello Family Griffith! Thank you so much for everything you do and say! It is so good to watch your videos as characterwise you, Ms. Griffith, are really similar to my grandmum. Unfortunately she passed away in 2012 and I miss her dearly. You and my grandmum have/(had) really calming voices and listening to you tells me in times of sorrow that everything will be OK. Thank you so much for just being you! 😊
Just know you're doin great mama!! ♡
Omg so true. You do many things like my mom. And I love how you just post the essentials and i can look it up.
We learned from our mother too to do what you're doing.
A friend of mine during the pandemic ran out of toilet paper. I offered to help him but he refused?
I told him to buy extra when he found it but he's so stubborn.
Oh well.
I know you're a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing everything with everyone. G-d bless you and everyone. ❤
I would love to see a video on canning,love your food room.
Can you talk about expiration dates and safe keeping?
Although I am not LDS, I grew up knowing how to be self reliant and we always had stockpiles of basic goods, my mother canned fruits and veggies that were given to us or we picked, and learned how to live on less. It is a good way to live, to be prepared for whatever comes our way. Thank you for your videos, you are a good resource for many new homemakers.
You Not Need to LDS to Know how to store and organise your pantry...
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
The hate your family has been getting for being prepared is unreal. I think you're smart to have supplies on hand. I work in a grocery store in Nova Scotia Canada and our shelves yesterday were bare. Now imagine all these people who are mass buying did this. Thanks for sharing!
You guys sure are smart to have that stock pile because all the stores are sold out of a ton of stuff right now because of the Coronavirus
Thank you so much for highlighting the difference between doomsday preppers and simply having enough food to last a couple of weeks. It might not be a natural disaster but as you said, even something like an unexpected job loss can be devastating for some families, especially those who live paycheck to paycheck. There is absolutely no need to have 5 years of toilet paper but a little stocked bathroom will go a long way. This also prevents panic buying/hoarding and reduces anxiety during times of crisis. Huge kudos to you Jennifer!
I’m 56, my grandparents were pioneers and this was called food storage , we didn’t have a car to get to town, we always had cows etc , because we to had a farm, and a huge garden , huge garden ..taking care of your family, this is being responsible!!
I don’t have a relationship w my grandparents so I picture u guys as mine through these videos. 🥺❤️
Thank you ! In this time of crisis . I truly hope, everyone has what they need! Love from Ontario, Canada. 💞🌎💞🌎💞
Your videos make me feel like I'm sitting around a kitchen table listening to my great aunties. So comforting. 💕
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
Hey I can comment now!
People have been saying people who prepare are nuts or panickers. I call it being smart.
I thought it was nuts, until we started to need to prep here in Canada for COVID-19. Then I started to search UA-cam for LDS tips (I am not religious at all). Have to hand it to them, it's smart thing to do. My sister dated an LDS boy prior to his mission, she was also able to share some tips that his family passed onto her.
Honestly they r cause anything could happen and it's best to be prepared
Whoever sid you had a comforting presence was 100% correct. I was raised like this, as well, out in the country. My mother has been recycling and reusing plastics and other items at lest the last 5 decades of my life.
I was raised like that too. But most of all we trust the lord. But we are not to be lazy. Love your video. Thanks for sharing.
Your voice is so calming, watching your videos eases my mind a bit. Thank you for taking the time to send out videos.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
Great idea,.peace of mind that you can feed yourself and help others. We must remember the elderly and single moms at this time
Let the God in us shine at this time.
Yes Grace, one of my prayers is that Christians would take some time out to pray specifically for this crisis, for wisdom for hospitals etc. This is our part right now, to pray specific prayers. 💗
I really appreciate your videos! I've watched Ellie and Jared and also Bonnie since the beginning of their UA-cam time and I always admired their home keeping skills so much. It really nice to see and learn where they get it from and it's really helpful for people like me that doesn't have this sort of role model to teach how to clean or cook or prepare for things by budgeting and creating a stockpile. So thank you so much for creating these videos I'm sure a ton of people find them just as inspiring as I do!
Thank you, that was kind of you and encouraging for me.
@@grandmaandgrandpagriffiths4715
Love this family and Grandma especially ty keep teaching us life skills
💕💖💕
I LOOOOOVE seeing storage rooms & food storage and things like that. Thanks for this video and all of your advice!! I am a young mom (my baby is only 2 months old) and I so appreciate all of your advice and helpful videos because it gives me somewhere to start! :) You are awesome!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
My pastor recommends 3 to 6 months emergency fund put away just in case. My parents farmed in 1960s and mom always canned so we'd have food to eat in winter months without making trips to grocery store.
Grandma Griffiths I am so glad you made this video, I was hoping for one from you as well. I have seen all your children’s posts or Instagram posts as well on their food storage. I am the same age as Bonnie, and I have food storage as well. I love the way you do these videos as if you were talking to your own kids. It’s VERY comforting watching your videos, please keep them coming! 💜
I’m glad you feel that way because that is how I feel when I’m talking to you
My 5 yr old saw this and said, "She is SO rich." And all my children gasped when you showed chocolate chips and sugar. 😂
I love the rain barrel idea. It's always a good idea to keep a couple of months supplies even when we are not having a pendemic.
I was raised by my great Aunt and grandmother. This is how they stored food and how they lived. I moved abroad and these people look at me like I'm crazy. Since this pandemic, my husband is coming on board with what I'm doing.
I Thank the Lord for our Prophets past and present. Their continued guidance in these Latter days to prepare us for needful times is so comforting. Love from Phoenix, Arizona
My nan always counselled us to keep up our welfare. Most faithful woman I ever knew. Always listened to the teachings of our prophets and now it will come in handy.
I have a food storage (nothing compared to yours & people I've seen, they'd survive for years lol) mine is tiny, but when this pandemic hit us it meant that we didn't have to go out & no panic buying & we never waste food. I've done a 'top up' shop once & that was terrifying so I was so, so grateful of my supply. We bake cakes & bread & we have a calm home which I know is not the case for so many people. Take care & stay safe 💗
I know this is a few years ago, but I had to watch and see your storage room! We moved to the PNW and we miss our storage room that we had in Utah so much. It looks like yours. 😊 It was cold in the winter and cool in the summer. Perfect for food storage! We use half our walk-in closet to store our wheat, beans, lentils, olive oil and sugar, now. Our son's bed frame is also made of buckets of wheat! We just put a board on top of the bucket lids, a non slip layer like gets used in cupboards, and a cloth to protect the matress from the board. The cloth also doubles as a bed skirt and covers the buckets on the sides. 😅
Thanks for showing your storage room!
I think it's wisdom. 😊😊 Not to live in fear but you never know what life will throw at you. It's always good to be prepared for anything.
During this tough time it’s so nice to watch your video and forget what’s going on around us! You have brought me some peace in this difficult time! Thank you for sharing 💗
Just wanna say thank you for all your posts on here. Its like coming home. I miss my mother, grandmother, and mother in law so very much and you help me so much. Love you guys!!!
In times like now with the Corona Virus going around, we are prepared if the need be for isolation 💕
As children we were brought up in Africa as my dad was an engineer. There were no shops, and it was a two day journey to bigger shops. We therefore always had a place in the house that was a store. This included food, bathroom stuff etc. So now with the Coronavirus it is great. Keep well. Love from the UK xx🥰
I love watching your channel. It is so nice to watch a christian family .
Thank you!
Love the video! I’d love to see a canning video too later this year. Thank you so much for sharing how you do your food storage.😊
I love all your tips and advice! And as a mom of 4, I am so thankful for those that have been there, raised their families, and that are happy to share their knowledge and tips!
I’m obsessed with your videos! I love to hear how you plan, organize, clean etc. I get so inspired to do the same for my family and my house! I’d love to see more of how you organize and also more recipe videos. Not just from the cookbook but in general, your take on stuff. Your tips and tricks on how you bake/cook to get the best out of something. Can’t wait to see your next video! Love from Sweden
Same! I started making sour dough again 2 months ago, I have 80lbs of flour. I make 2 loaves every other day. I have a pot of soup on. We will have a warm full belly no matter what.
Thank you!! I appreciate every single video you have out. I'm so thankful you turned on comments so I could tell you how much I appreciate you! But I totally understand why you had them off, or at least imagined your reasons. I enjoy your channel so very much!
Oh Jennifer! you are so great at encouraging everyone. I'll tell you right now that we, me and my sisters and even brother were not taught to have this mind set of having enough on hand. we could have afforded to, but my sweet Mom was a live in the moment kind of woman. Of course now she has lots of food but that's a good thing. I have shared this video with many women because I don't think there is enough of this mindset. I'm going to clear some spaces for a different kind of storage now! and also I loved the fact that you encouraged us to have enough to help out others. That is what we are taught to do! Thanks for a great video!
What a comfort you are. Please continue to make these videos. I grew up hungry and as an adult I have stocked the essentials. I am not a good cook but your belly will be full and warm.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
Please make a video about canning! I want to start but I’m clueless! Thank you!!!
You bring me a lot of peace Jennifer… I’m your age but was never taught this way. I grew up in Scotland so maybe it’s the culture. But everything you say in your videos makes so much sense…🥰
I think you are very comforting as well. I’m not Mormon, but I grew up with girls/families that were, and they always kept extras on hand, to be self-sufficient. They could also help out others. I try to keep my pantry the same. Not nearly as well as you with flour/wheat, etc... but it has come in handy helping out my sister. The Lord has given me a giving heart, and I love being able to help others, as well as able to fix suppers for my family.
A giving heart is a wonderful gift.
I learned to do this when I lived in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan as a single mother. Living in the rural areas we were the last to get plowed out during a heavy snowstorm. Thankfully it didn't happen to often, but it did teach me to prepare for these times. I now live downstate and my family and friends would laugh at me for my food storage. Today, they are thanking me as we deal with the panic of today's virus. Thank you for posting this! This is very important for everyone to know. If everyone used your advice, we would not have shortages in the stores like we are seeing today! I love your videos and you and your family are amazing! Keep up the great work!
DeeLynn Ratliff so true!
Yessss love living in the UP but 80 miles to the nearest walmart/Meijer/aldi is a trek! I try to stay prepared for times like this though by canning and freezing meals.
I always appreciate your videos. You are a mom to many! God bless you!
You're so awesome, I'm grateful to learn from your experiences. Thank you!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
I really love this video because, so many people live for today and never think about a hardship that could hit tomorrow. They would expect the others to feed them if they lost their job or became ill.
I would love to see a video about canning. I don’t have anyone in my family who knows how and I would love to start 💗
Just do a search for canning here on YT! Tons! But make sure to watch someone who cans the proper and safe way according to the proper guidelines!
Georgia Peach314 thank you!
@@Georgia-WRBNS I watch the Kneady Homesteader on youtube. She has excellent canning videos. Hope this helps!!!
@@joannemacgillivray8196 I'll check it out, too! But one question:
A lot of people who weren't taught how to do it while we were young, feel like there are common sense things about canning that they DON'T know. I feel like sometimes those things that others would assume most people know are glossed over.
Can you recommend a channel that talks about canning "for dummies"?
The Kneady Homesteader is a good canning lady :)
Thank you for keeping traditions alive. We tend to live going to the store as we want and buying what we need for when we need it rather than buying for the future.
You have such a calming presence. Thank you for making this video- makes me think to be more prepared
The way bread, toilet paper, and paper towels it is always good to have a storage closet or two (depending on size) to store food and household supplies.
Thank you for sharing this. I am disabled, by fighting and now living with kidney cancer and stage 4 kidney failure with remaining kidney. I made your bread and it was a big hit with my family. I couldn't afford your cook-book a few months ago and now I had the money and they are sold out!! I am so disappointed. Hope you do anther printing. Thank you for your posts. I truly enjoy them.
Thank you Nina, I'm glad your bread was a hit with your family and I'm sorry we are out of books. I'm sorry to hear you are fighting that awful cancer I hope you have a good day and I wish you well.
I just found your channel today 😊
Very cozy home and very nice pantry!! I love that you and Chad are so sentimental because we need that these days 💜
Thank you for this! Having extra so we may help others is truly a blessing. ❤️
I love your videos, they're very helpful. I never knew either of my grandparents so it's nice to watch your videos imagining they were like you :) Like another person mentioned, we would love a video on expiration dates on home made sauces, etc. x
Hi Jennifer! I am so glad you have comments turned on!!! Thank you for sharing your storage, tip & tricks and positive words. It means a lot. I have always admired how the LDS church educates and takes care of it's members. Over the last few yours I have watched Jordan Paige and Kimmy from She's in Her Apron. Both are LDS members and they have always recommended building a food storage a little at a time for the exact reasons you described. I wish I had followed their advice more. It's never too late though! I'm now going to slowly build a stockpile of food and essentials as I see sales.
I am happy to hear that! If for nothing more than peace of mind right? Thank you for your comment!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
I love watching everyone’s vlogs on food storage. It gives me so many ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
I would love some videos on how to can food and how you do it safely because it seems very intimidating. I didn’t grow up around any of this stuff but I am planning on raising my family with food storage, baking bread, and canning food.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
I’m happy you have enabled the comments!☺️ please stay safe during this time! Much love from California 💛
I already commented but I forgot to add that all your videos inspire me to do better in my home and sometimes just give me the inspiration I need to just do it! Every single one I watch, there is something in there that motivates and inspires me so thank you for that too!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
Yay comments are on!, your videos are so comforting. TY.
Glad you like them!
I’m glad you are prepared!!! Growing up and now we were raised in the lds church!!!and were always taught to put away for such as a time like now😳but my faith is in our savior!!!p.s love your channel!!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity to learn about that is true and important!!
I like having some extra things on hand too. Yes, if we’re in a pickle, get snowed in or, heaven forbid, we have another pandemic and the grocery store shelves are a bit bare we can all eat whatever is available if hungry enough. But, it’s nice to have some variety in your diet if it’s possible. It’s also nice to have some chocolate chips, vanilla, brown sugar, or maybe just a couple extra brownie mixes on hand too. 😊 That’s very nice. It’s also great to be able to share with others.
That's what my grandmother always said. Maybe you save for a rainy day. I always hadve a well stocked pantry and my husband make me some cupboard in the basement, so I always packed can stuff there. So, you never have to worry about food. Especially when you have young kids and they get sick you don't need to run to the store to find things all the time. YOu have very sound advice. thank you for your wisdom.
You know what Grandma , u are sooooooooooooo amazing!! 😊 🤝🏿
Thank you for taking the time to do the video and sharing information.
Woohoo I can comment now. Thank you! I just wanted to tell you that I think your family are such amazing, lovely people. You have raised beautiful respectful children and have such gorgeous grand babies. I live in Australia and found you guys a few months ago and have had a lot of health challenges but your family have cheered me up when I watch your videos. Always make me smile. Thank you for that. I also got a lot from your cleaning and house maintenance tips too. God bless x
God bless you too!
You are very comforting, thank you for this and your channel!💕
I just wanna say, I just always feel so encouraged at the end of any of your videos. Thank you for always sharing, and sharing more lately!
You are adorable and sweet! Thank you for the video💜
I just love your videos! So warm and comforting! One of my favorites was the Sunday pot roast dinner. I wanted to go over to your house for dinner! You and Chad are just wonderful people!
I would love to be able to do this. I have some storage space under my bed and after watching this I think it would be good to get an airtight container and fill with some good emergency basics. I'm stocked enough for the next few weeks of this pandemic stuff but I would really love tohave a storage room like this one day too. My Grandma always had one but she didnt really teach us how to do it. This was helpful!
I am going to revamp my supplies. New sub here and wanted to let you know that this has been very inspiring for me at this time. Thank you so much for this video. I will show my little area on my channel as soon as I get it done! My husband and I have some, but it definitely isn't as organized as it should be! Again, thank you so very much for the inspiration,and happy Easter to you! Love, Jeanie xxoo
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
Oh my gosh! Comments are open! So happy you shared your tips!! ❤️ love watching your videos GmaGriff!!
It is comforting to know you can cover your family’s basic needs. I was able to walk friends through near-empty grocery stores and show them how to use little make filling meals. I grew up in a farming community, so we joke that a little flour, salt, and shortening is all you need. Truly, I pray that when things get better, we can focus on teaching families how-and -what to stock in their “food rooms”. (That is what we call ours.) Blessings!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
Can I just say I was never so glued to a video as much as I just did, I live in Ireland in a small two bedroom house with a garage made into the house, the garage has tools and a work bench my chainsaw and a push bike and lots more, we are both 60 years of age and just passed 40 years been married, we like yourselves are going through the Coronavirus 19, never again will I waste good storage space, I am now starting to clear the garage out and make shelves, so I can buy that little extra each week to stock against what just happened, people panic buying and not much left for me and my wife Jean. I will start this from tomorrow thanks to watching your video thank you so much, you made me open up my eyes.
Hi Jimmy. I'm in Co. Meath! Awful seeing what the virus is doing!! I always had extra in my utility room - buying a few extra bits on each shop so lucky that i have quite a bit now (i have 3 children aged 2, 5, 17 so always wanted to have enough to feed them) Stay safe and be very careful going out!!
I would like to say on behalf of those panic buying....I’m sorry for what it’s done to you. This is who they are harming. Those who are older, or can’t afford to stockpile now, health workers who can’t get out to buy because they’re working, those on government assistance, etc. Their selfishness has been astounding. I wish I could be there to help you all out ❤️❤️
YAHOO...I CAN COMMENT! Christmas came early, lol! Love watching your videos...you make me happy. I agree with you about having a few "long shelf life" items always in the house. You could do another "make your own bread" video....that would be so helpful for people that have to stay home due to the coronavirus..or for people that are just doing their bit by only going out if necessary. Just a thought! Bread and pizza dough...two things I make almost every day and I love it. Makes me feel like no matter what happens I can keep food on the table. Sorry. I'm yapping away...just excited to be able to talk with you. Finally! 😍
I have a video called "How to Make Bread Step by Step Instructions" check it out;)
You are so calming and peaceful. Thank you
I think Grandpa Chad will be designing Ruby's storage room ❤️
Hope you guys will be doing canning videos this time. I love to see whole family together.
I watched one of Ellie & Jareds videos years ago where she showed her food storage & it was eyeopening . My Husband is in the military and we have been through a few govermnet shutdowns that didnt last long but we have had to dip into our food storage from time to time . Times like this we are so grateful for it we were in and out of the stores in 30 min two weeks ago just getting a few things we needed to tide us over & the amount of peace as Dave Ramseys says has been amazing . Thank you for all you & your family share you truly have impacted lives for the better I think more than you know.
Thank you, that is so kind of you to say.
Thank you for this video, Jennifer! I love all your videos, you do have a calming presence and such wisdom!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
I think what you’re doing is wonderful & very helpful! God bless you & your precious family.
Thank you so much,, that’s very kind of you to say.
What a wonderful family! So glad I can across your stories ! God sent you guys my way ! God bless you
This is so common to me that I thought everybody had this. Good to know everyone can still learn
We live in a hurricane prone area so every summer for several years we have made sure to stock up on certain items. We carry that idea through the year so we do have a pantry of goods built up now. And when we use an item from our stockpile, we replenish. I guess I kind of consider myself to be a bit of a "prepper" because I think it's a very wise idea to prepare for whatever might come. I even have some freeze-dried foods on hand. It certainly doesn't hurt. Thank you for sharing your ideas
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
This was great! I am not LSD, but I do believe in stocking up and being prepared. You never know what tomorrow holds and you do not want to be sorry for not preparing.
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing!! God bless you and your family.
You’re so sweet to watch. Love watching your daughters’ videos too!
Our family is the same way! I married a farm boy and he thought me to stock up when things are on sale & we have 2 deep freezers full of meats & lots of chocolate chips! ❤️
This is my FAVORITE video. For so many reasons. Not just the awesome bread ♥️😁
Thank you for the video. Also, can you please pass the message on to Landon... Congratulations on his speech and I thought it was great. I love all of your family. ❤️
I will! Thank you he will be happy.
Wow....wish I had seen this a month ago.. With the pandemic going on today, I am sure you are all set. Last night I watched your video on making bread....you made it look so easy....I thought I could handle it. Now, I am looking for yeast and cannot find it anywhere. Just love your channel. Thank you for making them. BTW. Happy 40th Anniversary! Well done.
Love alllll your videos! Thanks for sharing your food storage. I’m a young mom and wife and I just recently put together our family food storage and I never, in a million years, thought I would be this proud of it! I even took a picture and sent it to my family! It’s a good feeling knowing we will be prepared for whatever comes. I appreciate your advice and letting us into your home. Be safe and healthy! 💕
You too!
I love it when we can comment on your videos. Thank you so much for sharing this video!!!
I have needed advice from a Mom figure through all this craziness and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate and love this video!!! Thank you for sharing your sweet life!!♥️
Thanks for sharing your storage area. I remember vaguely hearing stories of my grandma surviving the 1918 epidemic. She was sick, but survived!!!! So, hopefully we inherited her good Gene's. Sending prayers for everyone to be healthy ❤🙏❤🙏❤
Absolutely!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
I always enjoy your “bits” of wisdom ❤️. Tfs
