    It's so outrageous these days. Remember when ears of corn used to be, like, 12 for $1.00? Those days are long gone, I'm afraid. But, let's look on the bright side--we do have food to eat, right? God bless, dearheart.

      Seventh day Adventist farming community in Castle Valley, UT used to sell us their fresh ears of corn and other veggies as well as fruit at that type of price, its been so many years since I lived in Moab,I wonder if they still take their fresh produce to town and how much its worth. But like ya say we have food to eat, reminded me of Mrs. Patterson telling my mom about frankfurters, this was back in the 70s, with things going as they are, we shouldn't be surprised if the weiner companies would just blow up gut with air and sell that as the yummy weiners.😅

    Hi, Tessie. When I went shopping yesterday, the cashier and I had a little conversation about the ever-rising prices and ever-shrinking amounts of food. I was getting some frozen vegetables, and bags that used to be 16oz are now 12oz-for higher prices. These days, I'm thankful for all we are able to get and to be able to keep up with getting 5 pantry items a week to stay stocked up. Enjoy your bagels, Tessie. It's good to have a treat or something like that you enjoy. ❤

    Maybe you can add salt to your bread flour to take out the bitterness. Cereal companies use salt to neutralize the metallic flavor in their corn flakes and stuff. Try some in your bread if you do already, maybe add a little more to neutralize the bitterness in your bread.

    Corn at the farmers market is 1 dollar per ear. The small local farmstand that I love goes up in price every year now since 2020. For instance, a large tomato is now a dollar. You can get a bag of tomato rejects though for four dollars. Their imperfections are not really bad at all so I buy those and they are delicious. Unfortunately people do steal from her so if I don’t have the exact change, I don’t mind leaving her extra. I really need to do better with my garden next year with no mistakes. This is my third year gardening and I am determined to get things right eventually!

    Bagels are expensive. I also need to learn how to make them.
    I planted a late crop of corn and in about two weeks I should be able to harvest it. You are right it has gotten expensive at farm stands.
    I bought garbage bags this week and thought they had increased in price. I bought a less expensive brand. I hope they work out.

    Due to heart issues, I can't have sour cream, so I have exchanged it with non fat yogurt. I suggest you try plain yogurt. Air popped popcorn is a favorite. I always shop the lost leaders from the store. Soon, people will be selling corn and watermelon out of the backs of pickups on the side of the road. Those are usually a pretty good deal. Blessings
    P.s. I miss bagels and cream cheese so much.

    I buy my bagels at the Dollar Tree. Four for 1.25. Not the best but it fits my budget and I only have half of one a day. I watch the sales ads and only buy loss leaders and necessary items. I buy trash bags at Walmart 12$ for 120. Corn has been 3/1$ here for two months but it has to be shucked. Fresh fruit isn't bought unless it's on a good sale.I go to up to four different stores depending on whats on sale. My income has to feed three adults and my cat so I make it go as far as possible.

    Ok, Tessie! I can help!
    1st, sour cream. I take greek yogurt and buy the big one, take out to use what I need, add a couple of frops of lemon juice to taste, whip it up with a fork. It almost taste the same and half the fat.
    You can put canned fruit in the yogert . We put yogert, a little honey, cinnamon, granola, rasins or dried berries in ours as a snack.
    Saves you $$ too.
    2nd. You can make cream cheese and butter out of whole fat condenced csnned milk.
    3rd. I buy corn Tortillas (the 50 count pack). Next I put a little oil on each side, put on a baking pan, cook at 450 for about 13 to 14 mins, until golden and no oil still wet. I cant get salt to stick to them. I break them up and make chips, or leave them whole for tostadas. I put a moisture pack in them and reuse my bagel bags. Save you $$.
    ( My moisture packs are made of cheese cloth, baking soda and raw white rice. Add a dash of salt if you like.) These do last several months when using sealed jars or not.
    4th. I buy jumbo eggs. Most will have 2 yokes in them, so I only use one egg.
    Saves you $$.
    5th. Frozen vegetables.
    I buy broccoli etc fresh, bllach it , chop it up and freeze it. You can use the stallks if you cut the thin, and the leaves are good in soups.
    Again, saves you $$.
    6th. Egg shells.
    I use the grocery store ones to scrub stubborn stuff on my pots pand and stove. ( they can scratch , so do a test first.) I put them in my Nutra Bullet and grind them to a powder. Then use as needed.
    I take organic wgg shells and wash them, dry them, put them in the Nutra Bullet, grind them to a powder. I use the in soups. Just add a little and let them cook down in the soup for about an hr. Rhey shouls almost disolve. They are good for your hair, skin, nails and bones. They have a lot of collagen in them. Dont use too much (2-4 tblspns) or you will taste them. Not a great taste.
    7th. I make my own Hydroxycloroquine.
    Wask and peel off the skins ofany of these. Oranges, lemons, grapefruit.
    Must use the lemon peels in each batch. 1 batch is 3 lemon peels, and 3 of any mentioned. 6 peels total. Boil on medium for 3 hrs. Chill or freeze for up to 3 months. I triple the batches. Its bitter, but remember, your liver love bitter. Serving size is 1/2 cup once a day in the morning. Best served cold. You wont get sick in the winter, helps to detox the body too. I hope this helps. Soory this was so long! My dyslexia wasn't so bad today. Lol! It took me a long time to type this, but I really wanted to share these with you and all who read this. I want to learn to make bagels too! All I know is you have to put Molasses in them for them to come out shiny. Hubby is getting way better too! Love you! ❤❤❤ p.s. i had 6 children.

    Bagels are super easy and frugal.. The recipe i use is just water yeast salt lil sugar ( or honey) and flour. You can add seasoning or whatever toppings. Rise boil and bake. I freeze them before they go bad. Im with you bagels are a must for me and my kids

    I fill my cart with what is on sale. Kroger has weekly deals, usually on a rotation. Some are pretty good for today's standard. Aldi shopping too. Sam's Club for some items. I just hate having to go so many places. I'm lucky to live in close vicinity to many stores.

    The expired food places used to be able to get it super cheap but now they are paying more so have to sell it for more. Many big name grocery stores would toss stuff. Many now are selling food in their stores but some stores the deals are not as good. After the lockdowns 4 years ago when it started it hurt so many businesses. we have to be real creative with shopping. Or we plant our own gardens or when someone is on sale get as many as they allow you to and freeze the stuff.

    I've made bagels once before. I also like to make English muffins. I am not aware of any discount grocery stores locally. Aldi and $ Tree plus several local chains. Is there much research on the dry/oven canning you do? It would cook the contents of the jar and that might change the taste. I use a vacuum sealer myself. Flour in 5 gallon food grade buckets for year's with no problem in going bad. I try to buy powdered milk in sealed containers as I don't use it often and it will go rancid/off when old.

My husband and I have to cut our expenses down too and we have sure done well at it but one thing that we need that we just can't stop doing without is papertowels! I use them for the Cat and we use them alot for our dinner napkins, well I remember when I was a little girl, my Mom would make our napkins out of the remnants she would find at the fabric store, and she would cut them and hem them up nicely on the sewing machine, I told my husband I could sure do that so all I need is a sewing machine, so I'm looking forward to that and so much can be done with one! I am not a seamstress of any kind but I do know how to use one, so I even know that I can make some tote bags from the large empty bags of the Cat food, so that is one thing I can also make and sell with our home made stuff that we do, folks love that so every penny counts! We are fixing to move from the big city (yay!) to a small town in just a few months and I couldn't be more excited I have been ready to leave this huge city for years! I love your videos!

I got the mayo on sale for $3.48, 7 packages of 1 pound pastas for .99 each, a cranberry grape juice for $2, a frozen package of 10 chicken breasts for $4.99. 3 pounds of hamburger for $8.99, a Pork butt roast for $5.22, some kale for $1.49, Canadian bacon for DIY pizzas $2.49, 4 herbal essence shampoos and 3 conditioners for .99 each. I got enough meat for at least 11 meals which is fantastic. The shampoo and conditioner was extra but I couldn't beat the deal. The cranberry juice was in the mark downs with the shampoo and conditioners. And the Canadian bacon was also marked down.
