    Janice, these people are ridiculous! You are a fabulous mother, and your family is wonderful. People are sending you gift cards because they see the goodness in you and want you to succeed. I enjoy your videos because this is how I was raised. I, unlike Sarah, didn't want to learn how to grow, process, and make food from scratch. I also wasn't interested in learning to sew. Now at 57 and disabled, I am relearning these skills from you all. You are so loved and thank you for sharing these things with us.

    Regular people don't understand a well stocked pantry, short and longterm. It took me years to build mine and I'm super proud of it. I could go months without going to the grocery store. It's stocked with ingredients, not convenience foods. You're absolutely precious and deserve all the good that comes your way. There will always be folks that have unfounded and misguided things to say. Ignore those people. ❤

      People that don't understand the importance of food storage and security. The majority of households in the US have less than a week's worth of food in their homes at any given time. Those same people don't understand that grocery stores have about 3 days worth of food on their shelves. If something were to happen and there was a supply chain breakdown or natural disaster that stopped shipments people would panic and the food would be gone in a matter of hours. If I learned nothing from 2020 it's that things can go from okay to fist fights over toilet paper in a matter of days. @@kathybannister656

Your family reminds me a lot of mine when I was growing up. I was one of 7 children and we raised our food with a large garden, canned and froze food and raise our meat. just like you are doing. We never went hungry and ate all we wanted of homemade dinners, bread etc. Keep up the good work, you are doing fine!!! God bless you and your family!!!

I am 66 years old and consider myself to be a gentle person who wouldn't hurt a fly but when I see you cry over the comments that some nasty people make, I really get the urge to slap someone. I cannot believe the lengths some people will go to just to cause another person pain. Your family is like a breath of fresh air! Please don't take what the rotten people say to heart. For every nasty person out there, there are hundreds of people who look forward to your videos. Your children are such shining examples of what kids should be and they are blessed to have both you and Shawn as parents. Focus on the happiness you bring to all of your fans, and we will keep watching you and your lovely family.

    My parents instilled in me that a party should be built to, at minimum:
    1. Feed the family for a month if financially necessary.
    2. Allow for feeding a neighbor's family for a week if an emergency occurred. There were many times when a weeks worth of groceries were taken to a family who suffered a house fire or job loss.
    At times my parents would also invite a young person or couple just starting out to come and do a small "stock up shop" out of our pantry and freezer.

    It hurts my heart to know people are making such cruel comments to you. I, for one, have learned a lot from your channel. I have been saving hundreds of dollars per month following your example of shopping, saving items to reuse in a different manner (ie: Shawn's upcycle of dog food bags and pallets for structures), prepping and maintaining for a down time or issue (We had a hurricane coming through this Summer and while others were losing their minds racing to the store.. I had everything in my makeshift prepper pantry I started and didn't need to run to the store for anything). You and your family have been a huge blessing for me and mine. I don't have grandchildren so I enjoy giving to your children. Giving is my love language so it makes me feel good to see their joy. Most of us know that you're an honorable family that would never "beg" your subscribers for anything. My prayers for your family for peace, Joy, and good health. Thank you guys! ❤

I'm not like you in many ways. I left my church because it changed into something I can't handle,yet by watching you it helps me get rid of some of my negative thoughts I have right now. We don't all have to be the same. We can come together based on our compassion and empathy for our fellow Americans. We should not be at each other. I bet those people who leave hateful comments are just jealous. Having a You Tube channel is WORK. Whatever blessings and money comes your way through your channel you are earning! I wish I had what it takes to run a channel, I would! If people don't like it they should just not watch. I envy many things about you even though I'm so different. You are there for your family every single second of the day. I like to see what others send you. I'm on a fixed income right now so I can't, but I enjoy giving and I enjoy watching others receive.

    I don't know you in person but I do think I know you. Your children are very well cared for, you would never mistreat your sweet treasures from God! Spending responsibly, budgeting is smart and a great example for your children and the adults that watch! I love the budgeting/sales videos. Our Kroger sales items were not great, hope this week is better. I'm so sorry that some comments are hurtful! I think most of us are inspired by all you do and love you guys! Love & prayers!❤️🙏

    I hope you enjoyed the meet and greet and I wish you and your family blessings beyond measure!

You are adored sweet lady and those folks as I said just need to stop running from Him! God Bless y'all!!

That’s just called planning ahead and being prepared to be able to do extra things such as having a party. I applaud you and think you are doing a wonderful job of preparing for your family and training your children for their future life.

Unfortunately we can not always understand. Hard to see it hurt you but let it go if you possibly can and pray for them.

    Janice, I hate that people feel the need to make nasty comments. Please know that that is about them and not you. If I was you, I would not even mention them because seeing that they have upset you feeds their negativity. Most of the people who watch your channel understand why you do what you do, and appreciate your ingenuity. Your children are obviously well cared for and loved. Let the haters move on and don’t give them another thought.💜💜

We used to travel with our kids’ sports. I would make tons of food and we would take our travel trailer instead of staying in a hotel. I am a medically retired educator. Our family helped with beef as they were ranchers. God provided for us.

    Oh Janice! Seeing the emotion in your face when you mention gift cards being given to you! These are given for the reasons other folk have said but I think the MAIN reason IS that we all feel the love and care you have for us your online Family! This is so obvious in the way you take so much care in researching the deals not just for yourself but for anyone who wishes to improve their situation. You would hug each of us if you could. The gift cards are a way of people showing you that they appreciate you and your love for them. Love and hugs, Granny Meg from England! Xxx

    Janet - going through your pantry with you is like walking through my daughter's pantries! She too has 'stockpiled' much via many methods from freeze drying to canning including grinding her own grains, and they too, have a large family even though their 5 children are grown and have young families of their own, but she is their 'personal store to 'shop' at as needs arise. 🙂 Everyone calls her the 'Armageddon Prepper' she is so well stocked. I grew up with my mama doing the same thing so love it when I see others on board with this way of life. I am sorry for the ones who criticize and try and lay guilt for how you & Shawn live & raise your family. There seems no end of such people and I say don't let them make you feel bad or like you are bad parents. Such people must have much lacking in their own lives to have to turn to being nasty to others. Just keep doing what you are doing! BTW: I am one of those women viewers Shawn mentioned, and I live on the west coast of British Columbia (southern Vancouver Island) but I do not comment very often, but I sure enjoy each video you post....so thank you. 😀

    • @ozarkfamilyhomestead

    This was very interesting, Janice. I just have myself and my cat to stock up for, but I found it helpful to see the range of food you have. I am a careful shopper, but I have learned a lot from each of your shopping haul videos. Seeing some of your inventory now gives me some ideas about what I may want to add to my freezer. Some viewers have a misunderstanding about your situation. They think that you are frugal because you are poor. What you and your husband have said many times now is that is not the case. You want to share what you have learned about stretching a dollar. Thank you for doing that.

    Viewers are sending things to your family because they want too, and they love your channel..Please block these negative people...They are everywhere, and they need to be ashamed of themselves... If they are not ranting at you, they will be ranting at other channels. Unfortunately, some people just thrive off of making people upset. Don't let them steal your sunshine... As you say Janice... "it makes me happy"..well I can tell you, your family makes me happy, and many, many others...Don't let them steal your sunshine. Wow, that is an amazing pantry.. That is a lot of work, and love put in there. You do not need to prove to anyone, that you are not feeding your family. You can clearly see how loved and well looked after they are. Just enjoy making your video's that we love, and try and ignore the negative.. There is much more love than negative..

    Good job, Janice! Somehow I had a feeling you were a strong woman. Well said and I'm glad you said it without Shawn even being present. We all know he can handle rude people. Now we know you can too. You didn't birth and raise 7 children by not knowing how to deal with different personalities, differences in opinions, fusses and squabbles and downright disrespectful behavior at times. I'd give you an A+. By the way, pretty sure your tax guy would consider that little "party" a business expense. But what do I know. Not just a party, but a meet and greet where members can get to know each other and you guys as well as promote even more closeness among viewers with the livestream you did while it was going on. I'll bet none of the naysayers were there to see what was going on... or before or after to help with all the hard work that went into it. No, they would rather sit back on their tails and criticize. Well, bless their lil hearts! A bunch of baffoons. There's a word you can have your children look up. lol Cheri
