I was just telling my friend this a few minutes ago. I am staying home today because everytime I leave the house it costs money. So today, I'm making jams, cleaning house and watching videos on youtube.
I can relate!!!
Making jams, great idea
I am going to a chiropractor appt at 10 am, stopping in at a discount grocer called Freshco here in Ontario, royal gala apples on sale only 88 cent a pound we are almost out, want to get some bananas, then go to my parents and spend time with their new puppy.
Time out of the house at hopefully a minimal cost ❤, seeing the chiropractor doctor is a must for my back
Smell-o-vision!
I never spend $200 on any day. People with children can do that but it has always been that way the last 30 years I can remember with my 3 kids.
I started driving in 1978 and remember gas doubling overnight from 60 cents to 1.20 a gallon. Then rationing! Long lines! Heating oil was absurd. So we’re not even close to that. Food and other items go up in price every few yrs since I’ve been alive. Lots of ways to beat the inflation. I’d like to see you show folks how to do a budget, reconcile to each month end and they would be pleasantly surprised at what is spent and how much they could save! Let’s see what you can do!
Totally agree, very disheartening..
Prices will never go down and food packaging will never get bigger.
Yesterday I left my house for a 107$ grocery pickup and with coupons paid 21$.
I make about 50k a year, after taxes. I do not eat out, use as minimal power in my house as I can, make all of my food at home so I wont have to buy something on my way to or back from work, flip old books and stuff for cash, go for long runs with a simple shirt and running shows and pay cash for everything. I'm out of debt but still do not have much to buy my own place. But I think I live much better and calmer than most of my friends who constantly use credit and take loans. It's hard, definitly, but it taught me how to trust myself and build myself slowly and consistantly.
You’re calmer because you have financial independence/security and that’s a wonderful feeling. I feel the same way. Even though I have worries, thankfully it’s not centered around finances.
I knew someone that got married when they’re were young and their husband invested the $16,000 life insurance policy from their father‘s death and they never touch the money and when they died in their 80s the stock market had turned it into $3 million!
I spent 221.00 today. I made one mistake I left the house!!!!😢
For me, it's $300 😢
I had to leave my house yesterday for doctor’s appointments; cost me 65 bucks in co-payments!
In news today I read that an assisted living business in Ontario is increasing their monthly costs to the residents by $1000 a month. Yes, $1000. How on earth can you be prepared for that kind of increase? One of the residents affected is 93 years old and has to move, she has no idea to where. It scares me to death for those folks and for my own future.
Let’s hope she has adult kids.
No one can afford assisted living. Some insurances are just dropping away, leaving the field.
@@unixman1891lots of very rich kids.
@@susanangelo7737 🥲
The cost is terrifying for Assisted Living. In the U.S. the alternative is to “spend down” your assets to get approved by Medicaid, but you have to be in a place that accepts Medicaid which is not Assisted Living but a Nursing Home. I know someone in a private board & care home that pays $8K/month. She’s out when her money runs out unless I can get her into a place accepting Medicaid before she runs out of money. They take everything from you in the end of your days if you don’t have Long Term Care insurance.
You know what I think is sad ? What happened to going over to visit friends at their house and having a cup of coffee and visiting or maybe play cards ? Remember on the show Desperate Housewives they used to that ? It seems like right after that show ended it all changed. We all need to make an effort to do things like that again. I grew up with parents having people over all the time. Having a night of playing Uno is a super fun time.
Love this idea!!
Agree!
Ask your parents about life in the 70s..backyard gardens, weekly rotating card or boardgame parties, carpooling, bartering and just helping each other with tasks like painting or wiring or plumbing when there was a competent person in the clique . Friends are the answer to many of today's problems. The phone does not help when it actually keeps people apart. You can visit virtually now without making the effort to entertain, in the old days the only option for a group of people to all get in touch at once and share thoughts was the aforementioned rotating 'party'. That was a great way to cooperate when money was scarce and so we're resources.
There were, and probably are, so many ways of entertaining ourselves without spending a ton of money.
I made a 12 x 9 pan of lasagna today and the pound of ground Chuck was 3.99 for the pound, 2 jars of spag sauce were 3.00, box lasagna noodles 1.29, mozzarella cheese that I shred myself 3.20, cottage and one egg mixed in for between layers 2.30. This pan of lasagna is two meals for our family.
Yummy
I have been saying this for years. I used to say it costs $100 to leave the house. But you are right it is more now!
I will be morgagefree in 3 years. I'm working a lot right now. You are a blessing in this proces!
I'm a 62 year old guy living alone, and 2 or 3 years ago every time I went to Walmart for food, soap, cat food, maybe socks or a tee shirt it was right around 100 bucks. Now it's 150 bucks if I'm lucky
It's ridiculous isn't it?
@@iraeaglemind Yeah and I'm careful too. I buy all store brands when I shop anywhere unless there is something else on sale cheaper. Everything is up like 50% in like 2 years time. 100 pound propane tank to run my stove went from $50 to $75, coal for my boiler went from $200 a ton to about $300, heating oil is crazy too or I would burn that (I have a dual fuel boiler, coal or gas). And when there is something I use that is on sale I stock up on it. But still the cost of living is crazy
@@joecummings1260 I'm a 70s kid and an 80s teenager and I'm here to tell you something you already know.Everything has quadrupled in price and it never stabilizes it shoots up pretty darn quick every year it seems like.
@@iraeaglemind I feel like I'm living in Weimar Germany's hyperinflation
@@joecummings1260 😊
2 bags of groceries…cost me 71 dollars today..unbelievable and sickening
Enough is having my stomach full and a roof over my head. Im continent
I'm continent too!
I really enjoyed this video, PP! It was just as if I was sitting in a chair in your yard listening to you chat. Several good chuckles, as well! I could almost smell the delicious steak. Have a blessed day - from Canada! ❣
When I was growing up my mother thought gasoline was expensive. Therefore we hardly ever went anywhere. We stayed at home And we're always busy working in our vegetable gardens taking care of our chickens mowing painting scrubbing this scrubbing that, baking cookies and taking them to the neighbors etc etc. On Fridays we would go to the grocery store to get the things we could not grow ourselves. Run a few errands and then on Sunday morning we went to church. That was pretty much it unless the school year was in of course. My parents spent very little money and I think a lot of it has to do with.....just stay at home and take care of your stuff.
Do u regret not going places and experiencing more things when you were younger. My fear is day comes when you physically cant go anywhere and are stuck inside that window -it happens!!
@@anoodono1841 good question. You know at the time i really didnt think i was missing out. I didnt mention that we did go fishing and have picnics and our vacations were usually visiting cousins. But i do think theres a balance. Since leaving home, i have traveled quite a bit and truly enjoy it. I see families doing the same and i often wonder, i hope those kids appreciate this.
We live below our means, no debt. I know food is expensive but eating good food, unprocessed should be a priority for everyone. Cheap processed food is full of additives/preservatives/sugar that makes us sick.
Your not babbling at all. Your visiting with us.
Haha Soo true,was just saying this if you go anywhere or buying anything, you are dropping $100 the least smhhh
Inflation is 100 dollars in 1977 is now 600
I bought a small amount of deli meat yesterday and lady asked me if I wanted anything else…I told her no, I have to get toilet paper. I feel like I’m a prisoner in my home but truly thankful to still have a home.
Honestly if everyone just bought nothing for one day all the prices would go down. And fast!
I have been very frugal these past years to put my son through university. The thought of him having £80,000 debt at the age of 22 was horrendous to me. Him starting life like that. It was the incentive I needed. It’s worked.😊. I actually enjoy the way I live now. I don’t feel like I miss out at all. I just realised I didn’t need a lot to be happy.😊
I've been using all leftovers I can I just make them into burritos and egg roll wraps.
Pets are the family we wish we were born with. ANIMALS Welcome-PEOPLE BY APPOINTMENT!❤❤❤❤
My wife and I make $3800 a month from social security, I also door dash and average around $1400 a month! I keep hustling! Lol
Hello :) I don’t think I ever left a comment on any video, so sorry if it reads awkward, but I really wanted to say that I really like this type of chatty videos, these are not only informative but also show your lifestyle and personality a bit , and you are lovely person ♥️ would love to have a friend like You, and watching these videos I feel like I kind of do , so please make more of these ( if You can and want :) ) thank You !
PP, One of my favorite things to do lately is watch Bob Ross paint. It’s such a relaxing way to wind down the day. I recommend it to everyone. Especially watch these shows at night.
I just have to say it wasn’t this hard 4 years ago
Facts
Love how natural you are no falseness just you keep rambling we love it
5companies own 60% of the food. They are billionaires. Greed kills.
Please shout this loud enough for those in the back that think the president sets the food prices.
We’ve been meat free/ dairy free/egg free for 6 yrs now . Crazy how much it costs everyone now to get those particular things. Getting things on sale and sharing with my parents while visiting and having tea is also helpful and costs very little .
I enjoyed this video so much. It’s like sitting with a nice neighbour. Enjoy your company with all your videos (and the info of course).
You are absolutely right every time I leave the house it’s $100 so I try not to leave. I am a widow and on a budget I do very well with my budget.🎉
might as well call me a homebody. I never leave my house much anymore. Go to a few car shows to film. My car gets over 40mpg. and I still have an 400 a month gas bill.
I'm trying to survive but I feel like I'm treading in quicksand...
We all feel like that right now
I don’t know if this allowed on this site, Julia Pacheco has a family cooking YT channel and a website. She has some very inexpensive recipes. I know it would help. Very similar to when PP goes shopping and cooks to show us inexpensive cooking.
I just stopped at Dollar General for wound care supplies. I saw a woman with a cart full of cookies, cakes, cases of soda and snack foods. $137 food stamps. Makes me think...called a transport place to price taking me to an appointment for specialist at University. 52 miles is $320. If I never worked could get free.
The only way we've been able to keep our grocery costs under control is to do the following: no meat, no processed foods/snacks (chips, cookies, etc), meal planning, eating less food, no food waste, and making everything at home and by scratch. Also, we don't go out to dinner anymore unless it's for a very special occasion. Four years ago we used to go out at least twice a week! That would be utterly ridiculous now. I truly don't know how people who have low incomes are getting by! They are the ones that are being hurt the most with this runaway inflation.
Yes, even when my 2 children and I go out for lunch maybe 1x a month it’s $40-$50.
Nothing wrong with staying home and that's what I do too. I go to church and the grocery afterwards and try to do multiple errands if I have to go anywhere. We have to stay on top of spending as best we can and we can always do a little better!
I’m retired on a fixed income and I stay home or I’m at my allotment. I record what I spend everyday and when I stay home the record shows $0. Who needs to spend when there’s cuteness ?!
Every time social security goes up everything raises in price. SO what is the point in getting a raise. I'm 77 and live on $1225.00 a month. Not easy but I can do it.
I'm on SS and get 960 and am barely making it even with housing assistance.
Nice passing the time with you. You are one of us, we all think alike. Same boat so to speak. Have a great day!
We truly appreciate you! It was fun to just hear you thinkin out loud while grillin your steaks. I was even crackin up here and there. I watched during my late lunch break and it made my afternoon! “You put a little love in our hearts!”❤
I used to say: It cost me $100 every time I went out.
😅I try to stay home. I have been retired for 3 years, I had no idea what retirement would be. I use to go clothe shopping, thrift stores, movies. Now when my husband goes food shopping, I stay home because I am a impulse person. I am not unhappy but finally settled into what it is not what I thought it would be. I planted a garden this spring and I will enjoy watching it grow after I pay for the seeds and dirt
Once you have enough.... each day I eat and have clothes and a roof is enough. Most people expect fully loaded 401k and retirement and fully funded college for their kids. That's not reality for me. Probably never will be. My husband and i Will work until the very day we die. And that's ok. It's going to have to be ok.
I love your dogs, I can see how happy and contented they are, bless them!
Babble away, I love it. You are very entertaining and I love your wisdom. Yes on the artichokes!
I've been debt-free for a few years and in the process of becoming financially secure so I'm obsessed about my finances. I check every account daily, constantly look for ways to save and meticulously plan every expenditure. But I never ever talk about money with family, friends or co-workers. I also don't discuss religion or sex. Some things are personal and best left that way.
Here in New Zealand gas is nearly $3 for 1 litre!
A cheese burger is $9. I’ve made a conscious decision to not give my money to as many businesses as possible that includes the government.
Me too. Here in the Far North of NZ, i try to keep my money in my pocket. Family screw their noses up at my op shop buys then realise how little i spend.
American here and gas is around $3 too. I agree with you about not giving money to fast food places! Saving money is my hobby and it really is fun!
I average $200 NZD week for groceries for 2 plus 4 dinners per week for flatmate and we have 2 dogs. We eat pretty well. I do budget, meal plan and we have a vegetarian dish each week. I suspect that's pretty average in NZ
@@quailqueen6530 You're doing well! We will keep doing what we need to do to survive this and we will!
@@51Springfield Except 4 litres are just over 1 gallon! So $12 NZ, way higher than U.S.
my coworker, young guy said he went on a date to the movies it was $52! like WHAT
Geez. I’m a matinee only girl and always bring your own snacks and drinks! But if it was a date I bet the girl just got whatever she wanted without thinking about the price because he was paying for it. Dating is expensive
@@PrepperPrincessOR. two tickets on a Friday night, two buckets of popcorn and two drinks equals $52.
Actually I just looked. It’s $22 per ticket for a 7pm weeknight ticket. So $52 is not anyone buying whatever they want cause someone else is paying.
@@christinacorbin615 local people know all the prices dont they in all 50 states for movies
If you like the taste of asparagus, it can be planted once and it will produce every year and slowly spread.
Yup... it will take a few years to get established but then... it's like magic & keeps on giving.
You are so good with animals! Yes, I like a video like this. Makes me feel like I'm listening to my best friend talk. Happy Leap Year Day! 😊
It costs me $300 minimum when i leave the house to go to town. I'm so remote i wait until I'm out of everything to make the trip. By then I'll have 5 or 6 errands also so it takes a full day.
IMO money CAN buy happiness, despite what the world says. When lack of money compounds other life problems and creates high stress levels & anxiety & constant fear it will eventually cause serious health problems that eventually will kill you. Having enough money means not having to live on that hard edge all the time and being free to think about the things that really matter in life.
.. just my .02, i could be wrong.
Ps We love you too!!
♡♡♡
I have the same stomach issues. It is brutal! But I am grateful my body tells me what does not work! It is also processed food. I do not eat out ever.
What a peace of mind you get when you are debt-free!
That grill is so cool with the animal details on the sides.
Yes, so many people feel they need to spend every cent they have asap. I literally know people who might still have a $20 bill in their pocket and have to find something to spend it on... Insane.
My dog loves Rocky and Nala.
I have had a hard time watching your videos because of her She loves them so much she barks through the whole video and I have to wait till she goes outside. She recognizes your the voices of my favorite UA-cam people who have pets. Have a blessed weekend
I could listen to you talk for hours‼️ 🤎 your videos ... 🐶🐕 are too cute🐾
I haven’t read the post yet…but you got that right! I try to stay home as much as possible.
I enjoyed the rambling; it was like a nice visit with a friend ❤
Yes, I enjoyed the conversation. Thank you.
I love your video, Your so down to earth. Love your singing. Yes every time we leave the house we spend money
Artichokes last for five to seven years, so propagating from your existing plants is good, but the old ones will die. I love to let them go to bloom - bees love them.
been living in hawaii for 30 years now it's been $300 everytime you leave the house for awhile now...
My friends were there on vacation and they said everything is double what it costs in Michigan 😢

...the price of paradise is still worth it - helps keep "things" in perspective...🌈💜
Like this style of video. Love your outlook on life. Youve got common sense. Keep the videos coming!
Prepper you're very humble and I appreciate your content. Thank you!
You are wearing the shoes you said you were gonna throw out last week 😂
Gotta admire PP for squeezing that absolute last bit of life out of her shoes !!
That is no JOKE.....it is so expensive in CA.....
Walmart today... $260
It isn't as costly here in southeast Iowa, but it does still cost plenty of money to leave home. I am perfectly happy here on our homestead, so I drive to town twice per month plus we drive to church on Sunday mornings. My husband drives a Prius to work and back (52mpg) so that helps a lot. I work from home because I have a woodshop here on the homestead.
Everytime you buy food, prices are higher......I'm not kidding.
I enjoy the casual tone of your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Every time I go to Walmart, seems I spend like $75. Tired of it so now I put blinders on and walk directly to what I went in there for and get right out. Those look like strip steaks. They can come with a bone in or boneless. Great price. Cheapest here are 5.99/lb. We all love you too PP!
I seldom shop anymore - I grow food myself and I go to farmers markets so I stay out of the stores. The last few weeks when I have gone into a store, it's to get 1 or 2 things I "need" - that's it! What I have Noticed is How EMPTY the stores are!
More fireside chats please!❤
Yes I love this ❤
You are an inspiration. I’m 35, I have my own house but still on mortgage, I’m single and I wish to retire comfortably. I don’t like spending money. Finding ways to invest more.
To use less wood, you could place some bricks below your wood to elevate the fire, or lower the grill closer to the wood. Either would use less fuel and time.
I like this type of video and the concert 🎶 was a great bonus. Have a great day!
It might sound boogie but I do Wal-Mart delivery for groceries. If I go to the store I tend to spend more. I make a menu and only order what I need. It helps to be old I have a Humana card that pays $200 toward groceries.
I left the house today and spent $150 on misc.
I have been following you for over a year and appreciate your words of wisdom and wish everyone would listen to you. Keep it up!
Pease, never be sorry for the amazing videos you make .We love your videos . Just make more .You are my favorite person on UA-cam who have logic and are fearless enough to say the truth.
Is it weird that I can suddenly smell steak cooking while watching this?? 🤣🤣
Our president passed the inflation reduction act. This is not happening.
😹😹😹
It's all the chemicals in the flour for your breads and pastas that make a lead type feeling in your guts. When I was in Europe I ventured to eat what ever they had and had zero negative after effects from the breads and pastas.
There is something better than money. Just having my mind back to protect myself and survive all this. I've listened to most of your shows. You have no idea the difference you have made in people's lives
I enjoy videos like these! And you’re right, every time I leave my house it costs at least $200! Scary!
I stay home most of the time and enjoy it. You keep your videos real life. Thank you for the video...Love you and hugs.
I happen to like your ramblings, cooking, grocery talk, and all that junk. God bless.
We live well on retirement. But no big items purchased. Steak is a special occasion. We never had much money, and so its easier for us to live on a lot less than some.
I really never understood inflation. Is it just that one day a greedy person decides they need more and then everyone else eventually follows suit?
Nice comfortable conversation video thanks
Nice relaxed (and relaxing) video!
It sounds like a problem with ultra processed food ingredients which basically we all have but if you eat them all the time you get used to feeling rubbish! You are used to eating natural, healthy food so you notice the difference.
Ultra processed ingredients are basically anything on the ingredients list that you wouldn't have as a normal ingredient in your cupboard. Our bodies aren't designed to deal with this stuff so it takes it's toll.
Went out today- spent $70
Loved this chat!! Love the fur babies too!!
Prices will not go down the way they were pre C. Add the wildfires in Texas now and we will see more increases. This is the new norm
Agreed…
I love that your cooking for free. That's the content I love to see. Would love a video of menu plan or grocery shopping
Under the Median UA-cam for food
Was just talking to my sister today about how in the US we don’t have a lot of 3rd places, let alone free ones
I really enjoy the freestyle, commentary type videos.
I like it very much when you talk about your backyard garden. I normally eat frozen or fresh vegetables. I don't buy canned or glass-jarred vegetables anymore because I don't like the taste; and since I don't eat as much salt anymore, highly salty foods give me a headache. I really like artichokes. I tried cooking artichokes once, and the outcome was both a sad and laughable experience. Prepper Princess, will you please consider doing a cooking video on how you prepare your home-grown artichokes?
