***** About Venison for Dinner *****
Thank you for joining us on this crazy journey! Our family- Kate and Marius plus our five kids, have always enjoyed living a homemade life whenever possible. Moving 1000 miles north in 2017 to Northern BC, Canada upped our game even more. We live on a 34 acre homestead and get a kick out of things like raising our own meat, dairy and vegetables. Theres plenty of failures, you’ll be sure to see those here too. We’re a homeschooling family who believes life is the best teacher but we do hit the books in winter. I’m so glad you’re here, I hope you stick around!
We put out a new video every Wednesday morning! We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

“I don’t think he quite understands how thrift stores work…” 🤣🤣🤣yes! Exactly what I try to tell my husband with summer garage sale season too!!!
Too funny!
Yes I laughed at that too
Not a thrift store buy, but a few weeks ago I advertised that I was looking for cowboy boots size 6 (not easy to come by second hand where I live). And the Gods smiled upon me!!! This woman tried to give me SIX pair of real leather, never worn, cowboy boots from top-price brands for FREE! I simply couldn't take them from her for free, they had to be worth a few thousand dollars all together, but she insisted she didn't want them and they were going to the thrift store if I didn't take them off her hands, so I persuaded her to take some hand pies. So I ended up with these fantastic boots in exchange for three fig hand pies! Like what?! Sometimes when you just reach out and ask, you get more than you ever dreamed of.
That is a truly amazing and uplifting story! Thanks for sharing it.
I recently was at a goodwill and they were putting out new items and they had a Presto pressure canner (with all the parts and pieces) for $7 and a 12” Lodge cast iron skillet for $4. I snagged them both!!!!
Oh my gosh!! That's unheard of!!
We are thrifting the decorations for my daughter's 16th bday party 🎉! We are having it in a small airplane hangar and we need lots of candles, string lights, serving platters, fabrics to cover tables (and hide work benches), and photo booth props 😊. It's been fun to find cool unique decorations that no one else will have.
I love that you are doing this for her birthday! You must be having lots of fun looking for all the decorations!! (more reasons to go thrifting).
Probably someone has already told you the drawer with the shelves are for typing paper and carbon paper from the old days of office work. I used them and the typewrite shelf when working at my first job in the 60's. Oh my, how I love my computer instead of those old-fashioned things. My next job was a keypunch operator which I'm sure you have no idea what it is but it was another 60's job. Lovely desk though!
Memories
I didn't know that about those shelf things in the drawers. You are right....I don't know what a keypunch operator is!! Thank you!
Thrift stores telling me what I need is my love language haha! Favorite finds are all my kitchen utensils & pots. I'm always on the hunt for sturdy wooden spoons and one piece stainless steel utensils as well as heavy bottomed pots.
Another favorite is wool leggings in black, white, and grey! And some linen dresses & shirts from crazy expensive brands.
love all your finds.....but especially the linen dresses and wool leggings....those can be unicorns. (hard to find)
My husband LOVES thrifting. It is best you two never meet. Lol.
We have been collecting older canning jars lately... too many new out of the box are damaged or break.... And i love the heavy old jars.
I thought I was imagining things with the newer Ball jars I've bought. They DO break more easily. I always look for old jars and Pyrex when I'm thrifting.
Also, you gave me a chuckle with your typo. My husband loves thrusting, too. 😂☺️
@@botanicalbecca8443 good grief. Fixed that. What is with auto correct?!
That is very interesting about the newer ball jars!! Kind sad I missed the "thrusting" although I still had a good chuckle
You guys are hilarious!
My hubby and I like to thirft shop when we are camping. It doesn't take much to entertain us! LOL The last time we went to a new to us thrift store and I found a really heavy large coffee much with a large flat bottom on it ( won't fall over)! $1.50. AND........I am always looking for a better bread knife to cut my sourdough bread. I love your soft dough bread and have made that but sometimes we just like the rugged bread. I hit the motherload of bread knives!!!! I bought 5!!! Yes, 5!!! and they are all great ones but the best one that can cut through anything and does so well with the bread is actually a frozen food knife!!! Much love to you and yours. Love your videos!!
That's a great way to add a different activity when you are camping! Love it! Thanks so much for joining us here.
Not a thrift store find, but did you know about the postage paid boxes with Canada post? Can ship anywhere in canada, how ever much you can fit in the box you purchase. Has the tracking number included. They may have a weight restriction, I’m not a hundred percent sure on that. When you shrink wrapped, the sweaters I was like oh that would fit in a small boxes with other things added. 😊
Very true!! I should be able to get them in there!
my daughter in law is a wonderful person,and she loves me lol. She heard me talking about food preservation and how I wanted equipment to aid in this. She got me a used Excalibur dehydrator in excellent condition!!
That is awesome! What a lovely gift!
Great desk! Love thrifting. I found 2 beautiful skirts, blouse, belt, & a very pretty planter for one of my houseplants! So much fun! Your children are going to be so warm with the awesome winter gear you got for them. ❄️💖🤗
It's true, thrifting is a lot of fun!!
Kate I really like seeing your thrifty finds! My latest fun find waa set of Correll dishes for $20. These dishes are lighter and thinner so they take up less room!
Nice find! Thanks for watching!
I got a double B.O.B stroller for $40! The color was just faded and it was an older version.. but still runs BEAUTIFULLY! Never in my life would I buy an $800 stroller unless it’s for $40 lol
That is such a great find!!
Your living room rearrangement looks great! We do a lot of looking at thrift stores and have found many things necessary for homestead living. No one of them is what I would call a favorite.
Thanks for joining us here. True enough some things are just "things you need". But that's great too.
My favorite finds recently were a whole bunch of nursing tops for me for after baby comes! I love finding them secondhand and not paying full price!
Great find! And Congratulations!
One of the local thrift stores is funding a rescue mission homeless shelter, and they have a few days every month where all clothing and shoes is $1! After having kids it’s been the perfect way for me to build back up my wardrobe and to find the kids new seasonal clothes!
Wow that sounds like a win win!
When that typewriter tray popped up it scared me to laughing! 😂 you had some awesome finds this past month!!!
Me too!! Wicked strong spring!
Love your channel. I only shop the thrift stores, every week on wednesday i go to 2 Goodwill stores in Calgary AB. All my clothes and shoes are thrift store finds. 6 years ago my husband needed a printer, I found a Brother toner printer for $20 and it was a half price colour so got it for $10, two years ago we had a fire at our store and he was going to through it out, I said no and cleaned it up, the first few pages came out dirty but it is still working like a charm. Happy thrifting everyone.
Love hearing about all this thrifting!
I love to upcycle! Thrift Stores, Garage Sales, and Marketplace is a great way to find some good deals!
I totally agree!
The desk is SO cool!
A recent thrift store find for me was a pile of Pyrex pie plates for $1.50 each. I like to make extra meals that go from freezer to oven easily. Pie plates make that happen for us. Who says Shepherd's Pie has to be in a casserole dish?
That's another brilliant idea!
LOL I love that "I don't think he quite understands how thrift stores work". My husband likes cruising the thrift stores with me, but I am generally a responsible shopper...he does seem to impulse buy occasionally though hahahaha
It's great fun to do together!!
You found some really good bargains. I recently found at a yard sale a brand new in the box Lagostina Enamel Cast Iron 4 quart dutch oven for $15 Cdn. It literally made my day!!!
Oh wow! That's a brilliant find!!
I picked up a nutribullet last year for under 20 dollars. Best buy ever. I dehydrate lots of foods and this is used weekly especially during garden season. 😊😊
Wow that is just awesome!!
i found a linen cotton blend shower curtain for $3.00…. it is going to be a summer skirt for me😊
The best thing I can suggest is take a REALLY GOOD look at what you eat weekly, double that then add extra, to make it for two weeks. It just might take you a bit to get it figured out. And sometimes you just do without to make it to that two week mark. And maybe there is the component about breaking a habit as well? Good Luck! You can do it!
My last great find at the thrift store was 4 kitchen cabinets (lower) for $90 They need some love but they are all oak construction which is never the norm. Most cabinets are part particle board. I think these were home made. To buy new here in Colorado USA the would be around $1000
Wow that truly was a great score!!
Great finds! The best finds I’ve had were at our local “next-to-new” store were work blazers (jackets) that I wore daily for nearly 30 years. I usually paid $2. each & the wool ones would’ve been $200 each. I did recently get a newer looking bed quilt for $15 & I love the cotton covering on it! Enjoy your new desk! Blessings to everyone 🤗💗🇨🇦
It's crazy how many blazers are always in the thrift stores!!
A lady after my own heart. ❤We love a great used treasure!
Beautiful wood furniture, and that velour dress is perfect for the colder months! I've found everything from my vintage Singer machine to our favorite corn husk Christmas ornament at the thrift stores local to me. My favorite barter item I own, is my clothes dryer that I traded childcare for. Best way to live, in my humble opinion. 😊 Thank you for sharing your lovelies, Kate! Your family is truly blessed! 🙏🏼
Thank you so much! I love hearing what treasures people find and how they come to own them.
lmbo Kate that desk will put you into next week if your not careful. little man haha wasn't liking that whole contraption. You really get a lot from that free place I'm jealous that laundry basket would go for like 25.00 up geez. My thrift store finds that I look for are baskets an oil lamps hehe. have a good week family
Yes, Amos was not impressed with that scary contraption! Thanks for joining us here.
Yassss I love seeing your thrift store hauls! My favorite finds at our local consignment store this fall was a Columbia snowsuit for my one year old ($20), a Columbia jacket for my 5 year old ($10), and a pair of Muck Boot Company boots and a pair of Bogs for two of my kids! Still keeping my eyes peeled for any wool this season.
Oh wow you really scored with those!!
I use to have a desk like that. I put my printer on the type writer shelf and always let it down low.
That typewriter shelf would work for a computer printer or scanner.
My teenage daughter wanted Nike Airmax shoes, found at our thrift store for $3. A dollar magic eraser from the store and they looked like brand new!
Wow, you made them even better with such a cheap fix! I'm impressed!
Cool you got it all arranged.Thank you from Arkansas. Have a nice day.
Thanks for watching!
That desk is fabulous I love it, plus the rearranged room looked really nice too, PLUS, sleeping Amos hanging off the couch was gorgeous. I always look out for old Australian made pottery coffee mugs.
Thank you!!!
Hi Kate and family! I've got a few really thrift stores near me, latest good find was a screen door for my chicken coop😊still hunting the coffee pot😉have a good night ya'll.
Love that everyone on the farm gets to benefit from your thrifting!
Yes, I agree. Sometimes the thrift store tells you what to buy :)! Two weeks ago I picked up a new small couch in pristine condition for $20 at my fav thrift store. I had been on the hunt for this exact thing for close to two years. Patience pays off when thrifting. Also, my family is away on vacation this week and I failed to pack my tennis shoes! I found some brand name and new in my size at a thrift store for $6 which was totally worth it for the hiking we did later that day. I was singing God’s praises all the way through the trails!
PS I love these kinds videos :)
Don't you love it when patience and persistence pays off!?
You have great thrift / treasures stores
I love thrifting! Recently found an eddie Bauer down filled vest, brand new for $16.00.
Wow!!!!
Recently I purchased a FisherPrice toy pirate ship for $7. Same toy pirate ship new is $165 on Amazon.
Whoa! That's amazing.
I mentioned that we wanted to send you some winter gear for the kids. We have some awesome winter gear showing up at the thrift stores but I can't remember the sizes. i still have to figure out the shipping cost.
That is so incredibly kind of you, but I think we are set for winter gear for this year. Thank you for thinking of us and for joining us here!
Just went thrifting two days ago! I also had a list and found a few things but the best find was a brand new shirt for my husband that wasn't iny list! So much fun!!!
Oh don't you love those surprise finds!
I hate not being able to thrift furniture at the moment (no space). But I have scored some decent wool sweaters recently.
Oh lovely!!
I love thrift stores my latest best find is 1 litre canning jars
That desk is awesome!😍
I think so too! Thanks!
Just bought a beautiful new sweater with all of the tags 12.99
I found a brand new pair of geans for 9.00 dollars at one of our consignment stores they fit pretty good.
Oh can't beat a new pair of jeans....great price!
Amen sister!! Thrifting treasures lol
The best!
You scored!
Love this video idea.
I’m hoping to find a newer looking slow cooker, because the crock inside mine cracked yesterday while it was cooking soup beans. It was such a huge mess. We use the slow cooker multiple times a week.
Ohhhhh no that would be messy. Fingers crossed one turns up soon for you!
@@VenisonforDinner Yes, it leaked all over the counter and floor within just a couple of minutes. Thankfully I heard the popping sound when I cracked and decided to go check it out.
Brand new food processor $50 value for $9.99! I’ve been looking for one, for months because my son burned up the motor in our old one.
I found an old canning jar opener for $1. :)
Found a beautiful Eddie Bauer bedspread half off $15. 😊 Val C
Nice!!
Nice “the floor is lava Gymn space Kate! Can I come and play!!??!!❤😂
Typewriters were extremely heavy, so it would balance the tension of the spring and it would pop up like that! That’s a nifty feature though - I initially thought it was for a printer! 🤣
That would make sense why it's sooooo hard to spring!
My sister found my daughter a winter jacket for half off making it like $2.05. An elderly friend at church was telling me that she was wanting to buy a food processor and the next day at the thrift store, I found a brand new older style complete food processor with all the attachments for a little of nothing! Little pair of boots for my daughter just like her old favorite pair that we thought we could never find another like!
Such lovely finds with great stories attached. Love that!
Great thrifting. I love your new rug🎉
Thank you!! 😊
Can you share the brand of your vacuum sealer?
