I live alone now widow with my sweet chihuahua and I decided to use my chest freezer full of veggies, meat and homemade casserols. I have gone almost thewe months without shopping. I had a bad fall and was unable to drive to the store, but I was so proud that I actually made it by eating out of my pantry and derp freezer. Really missed fresh fruit the last couple of weeks but ate frozen instead. Christmas was very quiet but pleasant. My daughter in law brought me all their Christmas dinner and that was so sweet. This month I have to replace my pantry and freezer. Taking my granddaughter along to help me as I am still using a walker for support. You are so very organized....It's terrific.I have lost pounds but now must rebuild my muscle strength. Not easy when you are almost 74. But doctor tells me it can be done still waiting on word of my 23 year old knee replacement revision and having both hips replaced. Hope you have a wonderful and happy HAPPY NEW YEAR. Sincerely, Debbie and Dexter-Dog 🐶🐾🙏 my sweet tiny rescued Chihuahua companion living a quiet crafty life in southern California l.
Oh wow what a blessing that freezer and pantry has been for you in this season! I hope you recover well and are able to rebuild your strength quickly! 🙏🏿
Wishing you a good recovery.
Wishing you a quick recovery.
Wow that's an amazing job!! I hope you continue to heal ❤
Love your attitude! You are resilient, you’ve got this. 💪🏼
Proud of you!
Use the burnt lard to season your blackstone and cast iron. Make suet feeders for the birds/chickens/ducks.
We did this growing up with bacon grease, it's easy for small children to. Participate in as well
I was going to say suet blocks too!
Also could use it for making soap
Honestly 2k might sound like a lot, but for a family your size that is very reasonable! You do a wonderful job!
It is!
Specially as the kids are growing & eating more!
Yup
It's still Alot of money. It's about 500 a week. But put out that much a once is Alot if money.... I don't know how people do it.... This economy isn't doing us any favors at all....
@@debbiebousquet5677,
People have learned to shop wisely look for savings and deals instead of just grabbing stuff here and there not paying attention to prices. People are now planning their meals and using up what they buy shopping this way can be affordable
My husband and I made a New Year's resolution to actually eat the food we have here rather than just keep shopping for more! Yikes! We are empty nesters and we still shop like all 4 are living at home!
Good idea 👍💡
Same here. No kids at home, but still shop like I'm feeding an army. I have hideous amounts of waste. I'm trying to be more realistic, and intentional in my spending this year. Old habits die hard. I'm used to keeping 3 freezers full, and a pantry full. Ugh.
Luckily one of my daughters and her family live close and appreciate it when I make too much. I just can’t make a small batch of anything yet.
I’m struggling with the same thing. I have trouble passing up a bargain so I need to stay out of the store and eat from my full freezers and pantry.
Me too. I’m an empty nester with three deep freezers, a full pantry and full cabinets. This year I’m staying I’m cooking from my supply even if it has freezer burn.
Burnt lard, add bird seed then freeze and put out for the chickens or wild birds.
If the lard is toomburnt to eat thaw it wrap in newspaper and put it on top of the wood in your fireplace. Makes a nice firestart
That lards not burnt, I cook mine down much more than you do, if you feel it is cooked more than you like, just use it like you would bacon fat. If you really don’t want to it can be used for soap, or put some in your chicken feed when it’s cold out, they will love it! ❤
Sarah…
I am overwhelmed by your pantry/food supply.
I have read quite a few comments…
So many people have positive and encouraging and helpful advice.
I am sure you do what works for you. Your family appears healthy, so enough said.
Thanks for sharing.
I need a nap after that exhausting video😂❤
Use the burnt lard to make wild bird homemade suet.
Your family is well fed all the time!! Blessings
Happy Saturday! Thanks for sharing. Your post is a great reminder to eat what we already have.
Sarah, having a lot of groceries on hand is a great idea. My husband and I have been stocking up on groceries for a while now. My husband retired last year, and I will be retiring in a few years, so we need to save money any way we can. In the spring we will do another garden which is a great way to save money!
Always thaw meat in the bottom shelf in a Tupperware or pan. No cross contamination love your family 🥰
I just love your pantry it like you could lasts for a year at least with everything that you have .
Burnt Lard = Have you thought about making bird food pine cones with it? Lard, birdseed, peanut butter packed into pine cones to hang for birds. Love your show! Beth, NC
Your family is healthy, home schooling helps. I hate it when the grand kids come home sick from school. Your are very organized.
Kids still get sick even if homeschooled.
Hi Sarah. I am also doing a no spend January. Except for fresh stuff. It’s good to do it at least once a year! Have a great week ❤
Oh my goodness Belle is your mini-me. What a beauty!! ❤❤❤
Wow, Sarah loving the storage pantry! Looks great! ❤❤❤ can't wait to see future videos !! Can't wait to see your new chapter of you guys building your dream home!
God bless ❤🙌🏽 🙏🏼 ❤️ 💖
Thanks for showing and sharing your pantry with us! I love how stocked you are! It's an accomplishment to say you could feed your family for 6 months!
I hope you are so very proud of yourself! Can't wait to see what you come up with!
I'm doing the pantry challenge on my channel as well! It feels good every time I use something up that has been hanging around for awhile!
I used burned tallow or ghee for animals in the winter. I melt it over dog food and I mix it with bird seed to make blocks for the birds.
It’s interesting that your birthday food budget is different from the food budget. A video idea might be to show how your family budgets. I don’t think you’ve gone into the details before so it wouldn’t be repetitive. Thanks for sharing! Great video!
A great video, thanks Sarah,Happy New Year
Blessings Upon Blessings!!!!!. Blessings!!!!. I love the grocery hauls. I love it. It's a store!!!. Blessings!!!!
I’m doing a pantry challenge as well! Something about coming off the holidays makes me not want to spend any money 😂 my motivation is saving up for our next bulk meat order, we’ll see how it goes!
Blessing Mwana family and happy New Year 🎆
Sarah, you amaze me. Your Mom and Dad did a great job!
Love from Michigan ❤️
Thank you ! God bless your family!
Sarah,
Growing up drinking raw milk was great for me and my siblings. Being exposed unknowingly to a low grade form of TB meant we developed strong antibodies to TB and other illnesses that normally need a vaccine to prevent. NONE of us ever got sick with the potential illnesses and the herds were all considered safe. It might pay to look at whether this happens to your children, too! It was discovered when we were given the precursor to the actual vaccine and failed to respond as expected, so blood work had to be done to find out why; they thought at first that we might be carriers, then on investigation discovered that consuming raw milk was protecting us more effectively than any vaccine could!
Cool!
Raw milk is so unsafe. Pasteurized milk does not destroy anything, and it’s much safer.
@@nancyfarkas3592 Each to their own. I'd rather have real, raw milk than the rubbish we get sold where I live, which is reconstituted dried milk, sold as fresh. (which is why I don't touch milk now, because it has been tampered with so much) I grew up in the UK on raw milk and it gave me antibodies that vaccinations don't. My sister in law still drinks whole, raw milk, straight from her small herd - and she has never been in hospital in her life - she'll be 80 this year. Informed choice is what I advocate for.
@@nancyfarkas3592 Pasteurizing does destroy bacteria, that’s the whole point. It destroys any harmful bacteria as well as beneficial bacteria. Raw milk can be unsafe, but where I live it is routinely tested for harmful bacteria, so it is very safe, and healthy.
That is very interesting. I dont doubt that yall were better protected. Could be one of the reasons they try to outlaw it. Ya know big pharma doesnt like it when we're healthy on our own
I appreciate you Showing us the food pantry that is a lot of food. You have A amazing family.❤
You have great pantry's Sarah. Good job!
I’m looking forward to seeing what you make! That looks like a grocery store to me! 👍🏼
Great idea! I'm also trying to reduce my grocery shopping this month and use up what we have. I really like your shelves and wooden baskets in your storage.
Your videos are Awesome,, Happy Birthday Luca🎉🎉🎉
Good Afternoon Sarah and family I always look forward to your videos. These videos are always interesting to me even though we only have 6 people in our family
Thanks Sarah for the Pantry update. As far as the Burned Tallow goes you could add it to your dog food for your dogs .Take care and Happy New Year and God Bless all 13 of you.
Thank you so much for sharing. You seem to be a great mom and you have a beautiful family too. ❤Best of luck on the new home you're building. It's going to be simply majestic overlooking the pond. All good things take time....and patience. You'll be ok!
That seems a lot for raw milk compared to here in New Zealand. Maybe shop around and see if you can get a better deal on the milk to save some money
Wonderful video, enjoyed every moment of it
Awesome grocery haul, thanks for sharing .
Ms. Ruby
Having watched the video I'm not worried anymore😅 I think you have enough.
I see a Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing, Fish Tacos, Filet o Fish burgers, Salmon Cakes & Fruit Smoothies in your rotation this month :)
👍
You are just incredible in every way.
Thanks for sharing 💪❤️.. blessings to you and your beautiful family 🤗
Sarah, you can use the burnt lard for the chickens make them suet with it for the winter months
Burnt Lard.. taking up valuable freezer space. Thaw and feed it to your chickens. If that isn't a good choice, get rid of it. Sams Club sells some wonderful freezer containers Hefty brand 30 in a pack I believe not counting lids. All the frozen fruit? Put in the containers and then in the freezer much more tidy. Freezer tape is a great item to have for labeling things in the freezer and it peels right off. Having a more tidy ( not shaming ) will help in knowing better what you have. I buy those bags of frozen fruit from Sams Club a great resource especially in the winter. Anna In Ohio
Mix a liitle burnt lard into your chickens feed or some oats for your chickens. They can use the extra calories in the winter.
amazing pantry🌷love the wooden boxes🌷
Thank you for the video ❤
You and the family have a relaxing Sunday 🌈🌈
My NYR is to use more of what we have in our home before going to the shop to buy more food. We spend roughly £1,000 which is almost $1,300 to you guys for my family of 4, 2 adults + a 15yr old and a 10month old (£80 of that is formula) so I think you’re doing amazing!
Sending love from the UK
Wow am impressed great job
Can you show a video of you making noodles (or link a prior video of that)? Love following you and your family! Peace has the sweetest smile!
Wonderful Sarah.😊
Hi Sarah ,why dont you have a freezer for fruit/ veg and a freezer for meat and one for diary makes life so much easier and things are never missed .I know your a busy household but might just work.
Happy new year ,really looking forward to the house build xx
Cave wait to see that pasta machine in use in a video :) thx for sharing!!
You can keep cans past the date on them for years there shelf safe according to USA food standards agency ! ❤
Love your family! The burnt lard could be used to make lard and feed treats for your chickens. Mine love it!
Wow, that’s a job keeping track of all the good and not letting things expire.
If you forget to thaw meat just boil it for 20 to 40 minutes depending on the amount. Add your spices too. Since it is pretty much cooked you don't have to fry it in oil very long. My mom didn't like to thaw meat. I think she would have been a closet vegetarian, but she made the best fried chicken ever.
Pork neck bones are very tasty. You can boil them and then use the broth to make rice and it’s a delicious meal. You can smoke the pork neck bones and use to flavor field peas, black eyed peas, etc. smoked pork neck bones are good to flavor collard greens, soups , stews, broths etc. the meat is so good! Thumbs up!
You could use some of the burnt lard for feeding your chickens. Little bit at a time. Help them during the winter temps.
You can take the burnt taro or fat and make bird seed feed balls kids might like to do that as a project
This is my first pantry challenge, I intend to go through see what I have and do a weekly meal plan for all 3 meals a day and then only buy something if we’ve ran out and absolutely need it before the end of the month is up. Then if come February we still have a good stock I will continue going week by week until the supplies are pretty much depleted. Then the money we save I will put into bulk buying meat etc and refill the freezers with freezer meals so life’s a bit easier to feed the family and my brain doesn’t have to work out what to cook each day 🤣 happy new year to Solo, yourself and the rest of the family. Here’s to hoping 2024 is a great one for everybody xx
🎉 happy New Year to all.
Happy Birthday Luka
I would love to see how you use your pasta maker. I got the same one from FB marketplace to go with the grain mill I got for Christmas 🥰 love your channel and your family.
Hey fave UA-cam Fam💯...HNY & HAPPY BDAY 2 LUCA🎂🎉🎈...ENJOY!!
Happy new year maybe you could use some of your chocolate chips for a fondue and your fruits it’s very delicious to dip in and you can use your coconut oil to thin it just a little bit. Well just an idea kids love fondue, you can dip pretzels also in it like stick pretzels
Tallow and lard....once they are rendered, if you put through a fine sieve or cheese cloth to remove bits and pieces. You can store them on a shelf in the basement. You do not have to freeze them. I take out of the pan, while hot I strain it into canning jars. Place my lids on immediately and place on pantry shelves. They will last well over a year or so. We have done this for years
The burnt lard is great for seasoning cast iron, or even your grill. Chickens love it too
Also, if you core the tomatoes before you freeze them, the skins will literally slip off as they defrost
Sorry, please don't store the apples with other fruits, especially bananas will ripen too quickly and turn brown. Many greetings and a blessed new year, Ulrike 😊
It’s great that you’re able to do this for your family. In Canada, groceries are significantly more expensive than the same things in the states, when I’ve gone there. Last week I bought primarily just the basics of groceries for my daughter and I, with only two meat items (1lb of ground beef that was $9, and one five-pack of sausages that $7) and a couple of splurges such as Cliff bars, so we’ll have some protien when the power inevitably goes out over the winter from storms. Just to buy for myself and my daughter, it cost me $460, which is more than half of my monthly rent. I was in shock!
Melt the burnt lard and mix it with chicken feed or bird seeds because the the chickens and the birds need extra calories during the cold winter. Then put the seeds back in the freezer to make easy blocks to give them. I really enjoy feeding the birds in the winter. The kids and grandkids love to watch them
Our New Year’s Resolution is to eat what we have in our pantry and freezers. I also write down everything thing we have in our freezers so we know what we have. It’s a life saver.
Use the burnt lard to make suet cake treats for you chickens with your littles.
Love seeing Solo be affectionate with you. It’s so important for children to see their parents showing affection to each other. Wow, I’m exhausted watching you explain all the food it takes to feed the family. You all are very blessed ❤
Wow! Lots of food
Happy New Year to you & your family, I can't wait to see the new pantry in the new house. :)
Have you considered buying steers? On the hoof is a new level of food security. You might need to grow them out for a year or 2 depending...and find a butcher first. You are already raising dairy cows. You can make sure they get to full size and fill those freezers. (Steers had had their giggly bits removed. There would be no dairy cow mixed breeding issues unless you intentionallygot a bull.)
Great video.
It amazes me how you stay so organized, purchase healthy food with some snacks ( have to have some yummies 😀) and the kids are so sweet and mannerly. You and Solo should be so proud. Hugs. 🤗
I’ll be happy when the cows starting producing milk!
That’s awesome. ❤
Hope it all works out!
I am a house of one. However I still try to have things on hand that I can make a meal, no matter what. I am also going to purchase a smaller upright freezer to have more freezer space, because I want to grow some food this summer & freeze for later. That is my goal. I am almost finished with home projects & then I want to see how much I can save this year.
Im trying a low spend 2 months. Bulk meat goes on sale locally here just before Easter so im hoping to clean out atleast 1 freezer and equivalent to 2 shelves of canned food. Going to try getting back into making bread again when that freezer goes down a bit and some freezer meals. Your family is much bigger then my average 4 peeps so I love watching all the things grocery. Lol.
You are amazing
Awe!! You need some baskets so you can organize your freezer!! Wish I could send you some 😢. Tallow in shelf stable for a year so if you need freezer room some can come out and be on the shelf for a year. Frozen indefinitely
We’re doing a no buy January and February. Good thing too because our dishwasher just broke down so now we have the $$ to repair it. Truck needs some repairs also.
2k a month is so reasonable. I budget 800 a month for us two empty nesters. We haven’t bought a. Half a cow for years, but I do use that money for my dogfood too.
I would love to see some videos of the pasta you are making. I just started making my own!
I need to make my own mayo and salad dressings. I'd love a on how you make yours.
Love your grocery hall , and yes I have really been digging into my pantry because it really helps to save money 💰💰💰🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Feed your burnt lard to your birds. Maybe melt it some and mix in some scratch or whatever you feed them.
Seasoned steak in the airfryer is amazing! I just season mine and will put it in for 8-10 mins . (depending on size ) Let sit a min then slice for total munchable med rare pieces of heaven!
You can try washing the 🔥 lard a few times using salt and baking soda. Just wash it till the water runs clear. It still have a stronger pork flavor but it’s still good to use for frying.😊
Happy New Year
Enjoyed the video
🙀🙀I can’t imagine spending that much on milk. What benefits do you get from raw milk. I really don’t know. Not judging just curious.
Burnt Lard suggestion. You could use it to make Cold Process Soap!
I just love watching your grocery hauls, even when you are skipping Sarah, Thanks for sharing with us
