    Under the "are we poor" section, I LOVED it when you said you'd rather buy acreage ! You're a boss Janice 😊 I always felt rich. I had a mother and daddy who loved me and I always felt safe. I think you and Shawn are giving your children an ideal childhood!

      Janice you wouldn’t believe the prices we pay for food in Western Australia. A punnet of blueberries $9 same with strawberries. Grapes for that size bag $10
      Peaches about $15 to $20 per kilo. It’s so much more. Amazing. I love seeing your great deals 🥰

    Ignorance is running rampant in this country. You are extremely rich!!! Rich is having the intelligence to provide for your family by planning ahead and not caving for the convenience of feeding them fast food! Your hard work and love for your family, and faith in God makes you a success because you do what you love. That is why so many people love your channel! Best wishes and many blessings for your weekend. ❤😊

    Idea: A frugal lifestyle choice is not the same as poor. Simple is wealthy. Wise is wealthy. God and faith focused is healthy and rich. Being well off is a matter of knowing what is important. I think your family is one of the healthiest and most wealthy I have had the pleasure of “knowing”. God bless!

    Janice please don’t listen to unloving and people that say ignorant things.
    The prices in Canada went up terribly some months ago!
    Cherries 🍒 are $14 for a couple of pounds.
    Small pack of blueberries 🫐 are $5.99!
    Five pounds of potatoes 🥔 are $6-7!
    Butter 🧈 is $7-8 a pound.
    I’m 70 years old and it’s very hard to buy food.
    Your family is beautiful, I enjoy every single one of your videos.
    I love all of you. Thank you for all you do, you’re the best Janice. Bless you all 🙏🏻

    Life is not about money. Yes, we need to pay our bills, however, we do not need the expensive phones, all the cable channels, etc. I lived in Missouri for 21 years and know the area you live in, it is a wonderful place to raise children. I have now moved to North Dakota to be with my family. My grandkids LOVE to play outside in the dirt, and with my dogs, a simple life, they do not need to be entertained all the time. I am like you all.. older car, no payments, only the necessary. I am content and at peace. You are a wonderful family, your children are loved and well taken care of. I raised 5 children and was on a very strict budget. You, Shawn and the children are blessed with your life. Peace be with you.

    I always freeze berries, peppers, and onions if I don’t use them before they go bad. Great for cooking, smoothies and baking. I also make mashed potatoes before my potatoes go bad. They freeze well in freezer bags and provide a quick side dish. Like I said before, leftover cooked chicken and beef can be frozen for casseroles and pot pies. I try not to waste anything. It doesn’t matter how much money we make, we all need to be good stewards of our treasures.

    Choosing to live within your means does not mean one is poor, just wise. You have a better quality of food than others that spend way more. Homegrown and fresh foods are your staples.
    You also have a better quality of life by choosing a simpler life style than others.
    My husband and I choose to live debt free. Others may see us as poor but we do not. I work hard to keep our budget tight so we can save for retirement and such. There is so much freedom in a simpler life. A life that values things that are not materialistic.
    Love watching your family.

    I buy so much meat on sale and portion it and freeze it. Even if I find it in ‘poo corner’ (reduced for ‘sell by, use by date’, I mark it as such). We are only a family of five but my husband and I play full contact rugby and have to keep up our muscle mass so cannot cut out the protein. Sale meat and veggies and beans are cheaper than protein powder.

    I have never looked at your videos and thought you lived in poverty. I have always felt you are rich in all areas that are truly important. You have a beautiful children who are so loving, well behaved and a a true joy to your life and your viewers. Not eating expensive processed foods does not make you poor it makes you rich in health and Mrs. Smiths apple pie can’t hold a candle to Sarah’s I am sure. Everyone drives a used car even if they buy it new and have a huge payment every month because once you drive it off the lot it’s used period. It’s more important you drive a dependable vehicle than a flashy status symbol. Your lifestyle brings you such joy and allows you to spend your time with your family and your children are learning so many important skills and are truly learning coping and thinking skills. They are independent thinkers with problem solving skills and creativity that other children no longer have. Clothes are the same as cars why pay full price for status when you can pay a fraction for nice functional attire that is clean, well kept, and lasts long enough you get your moneys worth from it. I imagine people who think you are poor are working themselves to death and missing out on their families to make another dollar to spend and then buying expensive convenience items because they do not have time to cook from scratch. Your treasure is in heaven and you are pouring your time, money, and energy into those things you can take with you to heaven, your family. No one is going to show up at the gates of heaven with a uhaul dragging their earthly possessions with them but you can teach your children and be in heaven together so your circle is unbroken. Priorities are different in each family and they each make a choice about what makes them feel good about their life. But why gain the world and lose your own soul. No when I watch your family I see riches beyond compare and blessings poured out that your cup can not contain. I think it is why your viewers want to bless your family with gifts and treats. I don’t think you are lacking I send the occasional gift just because I love your family they bring me so much joy and make me happy. Money is not the root of happiness, relationships are. Be joyous and be blessed your family is amazing.

    Precious Janice, so thrilled that you are feeling better ❤ How about freezing the turkey pepperoni, that way you can prolong its good by date, and get more for the reduced price ❤ If I was part of your family, I would feel RICH BEYOND IMAGINATION!!! Rich is when you have all you need, and some of your wants too, as you say ❤Poverty is a different kettle of fish, as we Brits say, and it entails going to bed hungry and having to wear worn hand-me-downs (maybe with a few holes in them) ❤I am certain that no one in your family goes hungry, and you are always dressed well ❤You are NOT poor, you are just WELL MANAGED, and you have my permission you use that saying, should anyone bring up that subject again ❤ ❤ ❤ LOVE, HUGS, PEACE, GOD BLESS & STAY SAFE ❤ ❤ ❤

    Quick addendum: You and your family are in no way poor as you have all the treasures you’ll get in Heaven right now: Grace, Faith, Hope, Charity, Love of God, etc., unlike the Hollyweird crowd in general who promote a lifestyle to compete with each other, bigger houses, lavish vacations, confused and troubled children, kids unable to thrive after leaving home, turning to drugs….none of their, “treasure’s” will help them in Heaven, more than likely they’re on their way down the slippery slope to Hades. 🔥🔥🥵🥵still, we are called to pray for all. God bless and please pardon my addendum.😢😢😢😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏🙏🛐🛐🛐

No one is starving by any means...and when you do your what you eat for a week video's.. You have very filling meals... You also have alot of property, and that is something to be very proud of...

    People also need to realize that #1 you don't have to purchase eggs, milk, vegetables in the summer, and also various meats. Also #2 it's nobody's business if you are "poor" or not and what your grocery budget is. Sorry! Just my two cents! ;)

    I've never had a car newer than 10 years old, my $79 phone works better than my sister's $800 phone, I have free antenna tv, rarely eat out. People I had worked with are amazed I own a house on the small income I have. I furnished my entire house under $1500, going to auctions, flea markets, free items people put on the curb.

    Hi Janice I really like your videos!! I'm from KCMO and didn't even know we had Kroger's in this state. I know you don't like Walmart, but do you ever look at their sale prices to see if there's any savings, since you said you compare the sales to their regular prices? Also, have you ever thought about doing Walmart pick up so you don't have to go in? I don't like going in either, but I like the pickup, especially since you can pick substitutes if they don't have what you want.

    I got strawberries at Publix for 99 cents this week! We shop Publix a lot but purchase a lot of the bogo deals there. I do watch the digital coupons at the stores. . We do have Kroger, Aldi, Walmart , Sam’s, BJ’s and other stores close by.

    WOW, that's a lot of savings! I am always amazed at how much you save! The people asking if you are poor are the same people who can't get by on much more money than your family lives on because they squander their money! Your groceries are chocked full of fruits and vegetables and mostly non processed foods and most of your meals are homecooked from scratch. Your family eats better than 75% of american households. The people asking if you are poor could learn a lot from you!!! I grew up poor and we never had all those fruits and vegetables and all the meat you serve your family everyday. My mother used to buy a gallon of milk, split it in two and use powdered milk to make 2 gallons of milk. If my mother brought home a package of cookies, It Was A Big Day for us!! I think you are wealthier than most, you know the value of a dollar, you are mostly debt free, you eat well and most of all you have a great family! What more can you ask for?!!

You have well balanced meals. Plus, your dedication to UA-cam is outstanding. Keep up the good work, and may God bless you and the family.

    I don't understand why anyone would have the nerve to ask if you're poor. You don't look poor to me. Your kids look well fed and taken care of. That's what's most important. I guess that some people have nothing better to do than judge others. By the way Janice, you DON'T owe them an explanation.

    When a child at school told my son he was poor, he came home and told me. I told him we were rich because when a house has a lot of love in it, you were rich. He told my dad that they were rich, my dad says, I wouldn’t say that. He said, yesterday grampa, of you have a lot of love on a house you were rich!

    I never thought you and your family were poor. I always just thought you and the family had priorities to achieve your goals on a single income. Which I respect. There is nothing wrong with not wasting money on a fancy vehicle, I don't. I choose to invest the money into my property. I was always taught to get ahead. You must make scarfice. Obviously, I don't have all of those beautiful children, but the principle still applies. People who waste money without a second thought are only getting into debt, not ahead. Keep doing what you are doing. It's the best way to achieve. Your children will do the same, as I was raised similarly and I do the same. I'm across the other side of the world in Australia.

    Your family isn't poor - in what - poor in spirit? No. Poor in terms of money? No. You have chosen to spend whatever you have in ways that benefit your family. Do you sometimes do without - not necessarily - you choose to substitute what you consider "more wholesome" than what others might choose. Poor in terms of what you and the family eats? Absolutely not. You are able to "source" the raw ingredients (most of them are), and make delicious, satisfying meals. And you will never be poor with all that love that's in your family.

    Good video, Janice! Good explanation too. We all have things that we prefer to put more money toward and things that aren't as important to us. We're like you guys on the vehicles. I could care less what it looks like as long as it's clean and runs, gets me from point A to point B. Clothing and household knick knacks are another thing I have very little interest in. Just more to dust. Our main priority is our house and land, keeping them maintained. They're paid for, but still have to maintain them. And our animals. I won't have an animal unless I can afford it's vet care, yearly vaccinations, food, flea and tick meds, etc. Thanks for another great video! Cheri

    So really what people who might want to call you poor are noticing is your minimal convenience items. You buy whole packs of chips instead of individually packed for home use. You buy larger packs of dried fruit and split them on trips instead of spending insane amounts at a convenience store. This is smart not poor! I pity those who think spending at least twice as much on chips makes them rich just because it cuts out the pre planning. Kids are 100% fine with already having cheaper items and fruit available. Also I overheard a man arguing with his children about how much the items that they wanted at the circle k cost as they were leaving the store. It wasn’t the kids fault that he stopped at the wrong store! Dollar tree is next door! Imagine how much he would have saved if each kid got two things there. That’s just good stewardship!

    Your family is rich in love you don't have things just for the sake of saying you have things just to show things off. Your family just oozes love and respect for each other. You have plenty of what you need regarding food clothing shelter. My husband and I are considered poor according to the world's standards but we can have plenty to eat drink we have a roof over our head we have a nice apartment and we have love and a wonderful family and to me that makes me Rich as it makes you guys rich. Much love Monica and Heath no we are not millionaires we don't drive Lamborghinis Porsches and have tons of toys and extra video games and whis and Xboxes and all those things that kids play with now your kids get the pleasure of The Great outdoors and learning how mother earth works and how to be self-sufficient that's rich in my eyes. Will you do choose to have an older Xbox and a very very extensive movie collection and we choose to spend our money on streaming services which provides us with plenty of entertainment since I am mostly homebound now we just love watching your channel as it provides us with lots of recipes and entertainment from watching your Littles my daughter's 22 now so I don't get all the entertainment of the littles which bring me great great joy and entertainment and smiles all your daughters are beautiful but little Rebecca is a gorgeous little girl. Also I've never seen any of your children drive I was just wondering if you choose to let them drive at a later age or if they don't choose to drive I was just wondering I don't mean anything disrespectful or hateful by this comment just curiosity❤
