I am a longtime watcher but have never left a message… I adore your videos and think your family is terrific. They have certainly blessed me. Your children are so precious and well behaved. I am 73 year old grandma and you have filled many lonesome times. My kids are away from me. Again thank you for sharing your family with us. HUGS and Blessings to you!
Our water and electric bills have immensely went up the past few years. Our water and sewer runs 200 a month and was 800 when we started our garden last year😮. Electric has doubled, water quadrupled... Thankful we still can afford it. Pregnancy is so hard, especially as we get older...but keeping busy really helps and you are busy! May you have a healthy and peaceful pregnancy.
Enjoyed watching while making applesauce. Our local store had an awesome deal on apples so I got a bunch to make more applesauce with. The cashier was horrified that I'd turn such beautiful apples into applesauce! My thought is, they won't last fresh as long as my canned applesauce will!
Shops are having a lend of us when it comes to prices. They know that no one is going to pull them up on it so to them it is open slather to charge what they want. Think we just need to alter the way we do things and stop the reliance on the big stores. We have stopped using a lot of products because of expense. When prices go up we cut more from our list. Did not know people did not reuse candles. Gosh I have the same candles I purchased years ago. Nothing gets thrown out in our family until it is unusable or unrepairable. This is for clothing and shoes as well. When something wears out it then gets replaced. We only give one present as well. For Christmas, birthdays and easter.
Wow!!! Dollar tree going up so much. That's crazy. Ty for sharing that info. Momma bear, you must rest and take care of yourself. You can help others later. You grow that baby and take care of you! We will be here.
I told my 2 of daughters and they both said the same thing "I thought everyone did this! Lol that's why we don't lick the frosting off birthday candles so we can reuse them! 🎉
I always enjoy watching HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR DAUGHTER 😊❤ Wishing her many more Last week my Dollar Tree had any items with expiration date for .50 I stocked up on food cleaning supplies and other stuff I was truly blessed 😊 God Bless You 😊❤❤
Your videos always bless me. I'm subscribed but on my channel almost 90% of my viewers are not subscribed...which is crazy. Anyway I agree on trying to always stay stocked up. I'm just me in my household but I try to stay ahead of the inflated prices because we have no control & they could go up as much as they want. And products we use is a great investment because for certain it will go up...unlike interest on your money.
Dollar trees are adding $3, $5, and $7 items. Ours did it last year in TX. They raised the prices of the $1 items to $1.25 and then added more expensive items
Well nothing currently is $5 at dollar tree here everything is $1.25 but if we take the math from last year 5 $1 items cost $5 this year they cost $6 if we go up to even at min $1.50 that is a 50% increase in less than 2 years pretty high inflation. They are also being vague about a lot of stuff so if you are able and there certain items you buy there you may want to stock up.
Wow! Yeah, my daughter told me prices at Walmart are getting bad, just as high as our Safeway that we have in Washington State. It's getting so crazy out there. I'm trying to keep ahead of inflation too, by stocking up. We really amped it up during 2020 and beyond, because we could see what was coming ahead. My heart goes out to people that are struggling. We're not impacted yet, but it is definitely noticeable, and frustrating when you go to the store and you walk out with a couple bags of groceries and it's like $75 ugh. We do buy beef and chicken local, so we feel good about that, we're blessed that we have people to buy from that don't put all the crazy stuff in their animals. We're actually thinking of getting a couple of beef cows to raise on my mother in law's farm, she's got the barn and stalls. We only have a little over 5 acres, but she only lives like 3 minutes down the road. Yes, bills are going crazy too. I'm so excited (im being sarcastic) our property value went up another $49,000, so we get to see how that's going to affect taxes and insurance. Thrilling. On a happy note, loved the video as always.
Yes they used to actually have a list of people to call but something with corporate doesn’t allow that anymore. Which is good and bad. No one has a monopoly over cheap birds but it also may mean the birds sit longer. I tend to check weekly.
Thanks! I think I’m going try to avoid it this month. I have to be in town at 12 on one day then 3 another. I definitely try to plan around the music hours as it’s been so loud. Thank you!
Hi! Wow that is a lot of good stuff. I am from the UK, prices here are a lot more expensive than there. And we do not have deals like you, really love your videos ❤❤
I wish I would have thought of reusing candles. Kids are all grown now and hubby and I don't do b-day cakes. Usually dinner and dessert. I have a feeling if $ tree raises prices, they might close down stores. I use the same toilet bowl cleaner. We too have extremely hard water. I haven't noticed a difference in formula of this brand. I need to go get at least 10 bottles for my stock up before they raise their prices. You found a lot of nice stuff. Happy birthday to your youngest one :)
I love those pens! We also stockup and fill a future box from dollar tree for emergencies only...that way if real hard times come I have a special bucket of all the things we get a great deal on at dollar tree. I do a huge haul like you did every few months as well and feel better having a back stock. The works definitely works great here to. I put a half capful of bleach in my dishes as it seems to keep fruit flies at bay?.?. Congratulations on having a new baby!
Thanks for sharing. I love deals. I do enjoy watching you, especially where you are next door to New Brunswick, with the border between us. Like you guys, our power price has gone up too. Even the Carbon Tax has gone up. 😥
Thank you for sharing this shopping trip. I know this may be a silly question but I know you said you are planning a food shopping trip. How do you decide what to buy. I have been trying to get stuff for freezer meals but it cost a lot so I end up not buying anything. How do you plan for your shopping.
god to get things cheaper just in case , i was watching 'our small town life ' yesterday and tiffany asked if we knew any channels that want a shout out so i put you forward .see if boosts your subs :) ., the price here in the uk is getting out of control with everything , so i save where ever i can ,
The way to look at Dollar Tree pricing change is "How well could you feed your family IF prices jumped by over 500%" because going from $1.25 to $7 is larger than 553% ... but then Dollar Tree had been purchased by the Dollar Store, and it is adopting their philosophy to sales.
Yes I have them I alternate them with peppermint sometimes lemon. I’m really thankful I feel sick but I’m not vomiting as much as I usually do. Praise the Lord!
Nice video as always ❤😊 these inflation prices scare me a lot to even want to get a car or a house let alone anything. I’ve been baking more and cooking more from home thank to you ❤ I made sugar cookies that were divine and I’m trying to find a good pizza crust since I keep over kneading the dough 😭def trying to stay afloat cause times are so hard it’s like ugh when can we catch a break
It is only going up on food,& bringing in stuff from family dollar..Some things will still be $1.25. But you do just what you are doing .I stock up on laundry soap, stuff. We are hurting/ medical is terrible& our H.O.A. is going crazy..wanting to put in water meters, crazy trying to push us out of our homes. We love your content,it's fun& clean& down to earth.WE LOVE MOMMA BEAR& FAMILY& FURBABIES OF ALL KINDS. BY THE WAY,YOU ARE GLOWING!! DO YOU HAVE A P.O.BOX?
Yes it’s P.O. Box 51 Calais,ME 04619. I’m sorry about the HOA going up. I’m here that and taxes going up a lot lately. I hope they still have a good selection I guess the unknown makes me want to stock especially on things that are a lot more at Walmart. We don’t have a lot of selection here.
I’m surprised Dollar Tree is raising their prices instead of lowering quantity and weight giving the illusion that the prices are not increasing. Dollar Stores are opening in smaller rural communities so that’s why they may be closing some store in saturated markets. Many small downtown businesses sadly may have to close. When possible I do like to support ma and pa stores. I did go go a small town greenhouse yesterday and it is more expensive. I bought a few flowers to help support their business but will have to buy more at a cheaper price at a larger store.
Yes sadly this has mostly happened here. We go to a semi local hardware store. But most stores are gone. We see people try to rebuild then go out of business all too often it’s really sad. We used to run a roadside stand and people wanted homemade organic bread as cheap as Walmart. It’s a tough.
Those low income internet plans were only slated to last a period of time. Some states and companies (Florida is one) that offers other internet and even free phones or tablets for people on snap (foodstamps) ss, ssi, medicad etc. They have to apply.
Ok thank you for that information. I’m hopeful some local people might find that here. I know many here could not afford. Honestly we get it free or I would probably well we did go without for years. I hope there is something for seniors.
I will not be buying anything at dollar tree for $7. That Lime away toilet bowl cleaner is our favorite. My trash bill went from $105 to $128 since last quarter my cable is running $270 a month my electric has been running $130 but this time last year it was $73. I love all your videos and I pray you feel better soon.
Totally understand that. I need to go and get a few things I only buy from there because I’m getting low. I stock up on personal care items etc to so if I ever need to cut back we don’t have to worry about those expenses
I wonder if Dollar Tree cards will still stay at 2/1$. They have 5$ items, I wonder if those items are going to 7$. I don’t buy anything but cards anymore at the Dollar Tree. I’m so tired of this inflation nonsense. 😤

You are so kind I wish we could share a cup of coffee or tea together.
I always reuse my candles! I thought everyone did that, lol, all my family members do too!
Love it!!
Us too! I grew up doing that and only realized as an adult that not everyone does that.
My parents always reused candles and I do as well! Yes, I thought everyone did!😊
Our water and electric bills have immensely went up the past few years. Our water and sewer runs 200 a month and was 800 when we started our garden last year😮. Electric has doubled, water quadrupled...
Thankful we still can afford it. Pregnancy is so hard, especially as we get older...but keeping busy really helps and you are busy! May you have a healthy and peaceful pregnancy.
Oh my goodness what a jump in price!
Lol. We always reused birthday cake candles when we were growing up.
Yay! Glad we aren’t the only ones!
Enjoyed watching while making applesauce. Our local store had an awesome deal on apples so I got a bunch to make more applesauce with. The cashier was horrified that I'd turn such beautiful apples into applesauce! My thought is, they won't last fresh as long as my canned applesauce will!
Great work! I think you are wise!
I cut my soap pads in halves or fourths and store them in a plastic jar. You only need a small piece and you don’t lose the whole thing to rust.
Great tip!
That is a great idea! You can also save them by placing them in the freezer and they don’t rust.
SUGGESTION: Try using a used shampoo pump bottle for your dishwashing liquid. The children can’t accidentally use too much.
Ooohhh great idea!

Yes I Love this! Is so hard here I wish I could buy local only but there’s no one. So I guess my goal is grow as much as I can.
Wow!!! Dollar tree going up so much. That's crazy. Ty for sharing that info.
Momma bear, you must rest and take care of yourself. You can help others later. You grow that baby and take care of you! We will be here.
Thank you! Have a blessed day!
Happy birthday little one. Great haul. Yes food is not the only thing to be prepared for.
Thank you 😊
You got a lot for your money at Dollar Tree.
I buy regular mouth canning lids at DT. Right now 10 for $1.25. Great seal rate.
Wow I wish ours had lids that’s a great price!!
Great deals! I love a great deal too! We've been resting candles for years! 😂🎉 Happy birthday, baby girl!🎉 🎂🎈
Thank you! 🤗. You are the only other person I know who does this!!
I told my 2 of daughters and they both said the same thing "I thought everyone did this! Lol that's why we don't lick the frosting off birthday candles so we can reuse them! 🎉
I’ve read of you freeze candles they last longer.
We reuse ours too. I buy the number ones and use the combination we need 😊
@@LuckyDucky312 those ones last forever! Great idea!
I hope you feel better soon. Great haul. Id love to see you help us stretch the budget. I do love your videos.❤😊
Thank you! Will do!
I always enjoy watching HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR DAUGHTER 😊❤ Wishing her many more Last week my Dollar Tree had any items with expiration date for .50 I stocked up on food cleaning supplies and other stuff I was truly blessed 😊 God Bless You 😊❤❤

I hope you start to feel better, Mommabear2many. ❤ hugs from Michigan!!!
Thank you!
The article I read said the 7.00 increase is on 5.00 plus items, and that most things will stay 1.25, with some 1.25 items going to 1.50
Well nothing currently is $5 at dollar tree here everything is $1.25 but if we take the math from last year 5 $1 items cost $5 this year they cost $6 if we go up to even at min $1.50 that is a 50% increase in less than 2 years pretty high inflation.

lol! Sound like you are on top of things as well! That’s really so good to hear!
I missed those bubble things last time I was there! I'm glad you were able to get all those chicks. I worry about what happens if no one buys them
Yes they used to actually have a list of people to call but something with corporate doesn’t allow that anymore. Which is good and bad. No one has a monopoly over cheap birds but it also may mean the birds sit longer. I tend to check weekly.
Our Walmart has no music from 8:00 am to 10:00 am.
Thanks! I think I’m going try to avoid it this month. I have to be in town at 12 on one day then 3 another. I definitely try to plan around the music hours as it’s been so loud. Thank you!

Thank you! Thanks for the tips as well.
Happy Birthday to the baby!
Thank you!
The prices aren't going to $7 for their stuff. They will just carry items up to $7, eventually it will be items up to $10.
Dollar Tree is going to price itself out of business!
Yes
Thanks for sharing. I love deals. I do enjoy watching you, especially where you are next door to New Brunswick, with the border between us. Like you guys, our power price has gone up too. Even the Carbon Tax has gone up. 😥
I think we actually share electric. The both come from the St. crook river if I remember correctly.
@@mommabear2many I didn't know that.
Great video! Praying you feel better❤ Your. Video ideas sound awesome🎉
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for sharing this shopping trip. I know this may be a silly question but I know you said you are planning a food shopping trip. How do you decide what to buy. I have been trying to get stuff for freezer meals but it cost a lot so I end up not buying anything. How do you plan for your shopping.
Great question I’ll see if I can get a video out over the next couple days explaining this.
Not all items will go up to $7.00. They are going to have items from $1.50 to $7.00 depending on product.
Yes I understand this but they will be going up so I would rather be stocked before they go up!
I also heard over 300 items are going down to $1.00. The higher priced items are more like five below.
That garden shovel is a great price. I just ordered one on Amazon.
Yes I was glad to get a couple!
god to get things cheaper just in case , i was watching 'our small town life ' yesterday and tiffany asked if we knew any channels that want a shout out so i put you forward .see if boosts your subs :) ., the price here in the uk is getting out of control with everything , so i save where ever i can ,

Very interesting! I think some of these companies are just feeling it and they need to raise prices or go under.
Have you tried I think they are called ginger drops or something like that helps with the nauseous feeling
Yes I have them I alternate them with peppermint sometimes lemon. I’m really thankful I feel sick but I’m not vomiting as much as I usually do. Praise the Lord!

Love Dollar Tree. You must have a birthday every week.Question? Why do you always wear something on your head? New to your channel.
Hello not every week almost every month. That’s for joining us.
I’m surprised Dollar Tree is raising their prices instead of lowering quantity and weight giving the illusion that the prices are not increasing.

I know!! Crazy how the bills are going up! I keep hearing this from lots of people. It’s really sad.
If You had gout is there a herb tea you would use.
I’ve never dealt with that sorry.
Not being able to find a place to rent.
Walmart music has been SO loud here lately to when they restructured it.
YES like you can’t talk to the person next to you. It’s crazy!
It not even worth for dollar tree any more. I love there cleaning supplies there I might stock up with that.
I thought they are going to now include items up to $7 like there 5 dollar section?
I’m seeing mixed things so wanted to prep things I usually buy there.
Totally understand that. I need to go and get a few things I only buy from there because I’m getting low. I stock up on personal care items etc to so if I ever need to cut back we don’t have to worry about those expenses
We actually don’t have a $5 section. Just realizing through the comments some do. Interesting.
If dollar tree goes up to 1.50 -7 bucks not worth going there anymore they won’t stay open if the quality of their products stay the same
I agree.
That’s a 50% increase in two years.
Yes exactly!
I wonder if Dollar Tree cards will still stay at 2/1$. They have 5$ items, I wonder if those items are going to 7$. I don’t buy anything but cards anymore at the Dollar Tree. I’m so tired of this inflation nonsense. 😤
We actually don’t have any $5 items we only have $1.25 the whole store except for card 2 for $1
Only the item that are $5 will be going to $7
We don’t have any items that are $5 all items currently are $1.25
