It sounds like this whole crew likes buying food😉 Seriously, if you’ve ever been “food insecure,” there is nothing that makes you feel more wealthy than have a well stocked pantry, freezer, garden, and kitchen.
I just said that today I feel so rich to have enough to know that I can get through the winter without worrying this year. I feel so blessed.
Exactly! I am blessed with an amazing garden harvest this year that I preserved so I need to stop stocking my shelves from the grocery!
I am sad that anyone goes through that.
SAME, FIRST FOOD NOW FOOD AND OUY OF ROOM TO STORE IT!
Tessie they say groceries are going to double next! Of course hear say says
A husband and wife should equally share in the finances. Each should know exactly what money is coming in and where the money is going to.
In response to the call for no more spending, we stand in solidarity with you, Tessie. Over the past years, many of us have been diligently getting ready and safeguarding our possessions in anticipation of numerous uncertainties. Just last week, I decided to go through things and contribute items to those who are in need, things I haven't used in years. It's an incredibly empowering experience.
I am giggling with you, I am the same about food, and since husband died it is just me, and I am still buying cooking and freezing, constantly.
Brilliant minds, hahaha
I have been downsizing for over a month. Cutting at the excess and preparing for the hard times..
I justified spending because it was at thrift stores. I also have come to realize I used it as a stress reliever and a coping mechanism trying to fill the holes in my life ie emotional and communication anorexia in my marriage.
Wow that really hits home! I'm going to be sharing in greater detail so many personal things I decided it's time in my life and with a real strict budget showing everyone my receipts and everything I think it's going to be very helpful for all of us on this journey
You look great in your red and black flannel shirt.
Thrifting is my therapy too.
I always shop at thrift stores ,where I live there's plenty , Delaware I learned years ago to get things second hand
I’m so glad you will be doing more Tessie! I also love thrift store shopping but over time it adds up!
Tessie you are so not alone! I love food too! I am a total squirrel and have recently come to the same conclusion. Making meals with what I have squirreled away❤
Cameras and perfume is what I spend money on when I can 😊
I’m with you Tessie! My biggest spending problem is stocking up on food and I’m all by myself!!! it did come in handy to have all that food on hand when I lost my job though!!
I retired when hubbys business took off. So happy I had stockpiled food and necessities when he retired.
We all have areas in our lives we can improve on when it comes to money & living our lives daily! Blessings to all❣️❣️
@@wandafaulk3641 ain't that the truth!
I like buying food too, I love preparing it, shopping for it, gardening. Never really had enough to eat as a kid and it makes me feel in control to have a pantry.
@@virginiasummer2619 well, I’m so glad that you are able to have enough food now, so you don’t feel insecure! Nobody should ever have to feel insecure about food!
Tess for me I have been in a place in my life where I raised five kids on my own with no help. I owned my own home and cars and couldn't get help.. we had a hard few years.. and I grew gardens harvested neighbors gardens when they were finish putting up what they wanted. Bought sale items and stored it away... I have been where we didn't have food.. and I made a promise to my kids they would never have to live Thur that again... With all that being said.. I am a firm believer in food storage. I am a fire believer in having a well stocked house... But only things we will use... My pantry has saved us many times and when 2020 hit it saved family members as well... But like you I have to keep myself in check as I can go overboard... I believe it was because I know and have felt hunger.. and it's not fun..
Thank you so much this is just the beginning i'm going to be sharing my life in big details my total finances and everything I figure what do I have to lose and everything I have to gain by helping others through this journey with me
It’s so smart to “hoard” stuff during the good times so you’ll have something special in the lean times. So much better than enjoying it all up and then having nothing special when times are rough.
I'm a food hoarder. I grew up very poor and don't like to feel like I can't cook up a meal at any time.
Thank you so much this is just the beginning i'm going to be sharing my life in big details my total finances and everything I figure what do I have to lose and everything I have to gain by helping others through this journey with me
@@HomesteadTessie I'm a 72 year old women. My Facebook name doesn't match
🐯One of your best videos.Cos boy we all have those guilty pleasures. Mine is buying candy and gum. I have drawer completely packed. Love Ya Tess and all your friendly loving subscribers 🐯
Thank you so much 😀
Guilty 🙋🏻♀️ I totally can relate, husband retired in 2018 and I tell ya what, living on a specific amount of money every month…changes had to be made. We did the same, making our home our sanctuary, fixing up things here and there. We bought our home in 1995, paid off 4 years ago and we still have to be very careful with our spending. Love your honesty and content, and in my opinion, the only ones that have anything negative to say are probably jealous…I think you’re the bees knees!
😁
Tessie, don't be ashamed of the food issue. I'm 68 now and when I was a kid I was raised on a farm. We worked hard and always had what we needed but not everything we wanted. We were all used to not asking for much. I will never forget this..one year one of my Dad's long time friends came to visit us. They wanted to go to the nearest larger town about 17 miles away. My Dad told them I could show them how to get there. Once there they told me I could buy what ever I wanted! I couldn't believe it I had so many options so...my response was that I wanted to go to the grocery store! They thought that was so funny but I realize that after all the decades that have passed my response would be the same! Some of us are just plain and simple foodies!
We are all trying to save and live on a tight budget.
I have to agree with you on the food issue. We have two freezers, a pantry, and cupboards full of food that we need to use up before we buy anymore. I have always had plenty but stocked up even more with rumors flying around the past few years. After watching the news this week, I am glad to have a little extra to get us through these uncertain times. Providing for our family comes natural to wives and mothers, don't feel bad about that.
Food for thought Tessie. I'm guilty of thrifting and rummage sales. I've decided after watching this. No thrifting for a month, just to see if I can do it. God Bless
Tessi, you are not alone in this at all! When "the world is coming to an end" mentality kicked in a few years ago, I bought and stored a lot (it's just hubby and me). In the past 6 months or so I had a realization that I had too much. I also realized with just 2 people, we don't consume that much food. I made it my goal to eat down this hoard. I had frozen veggies and potatoes in the freezer that were getting severely freezer burn. I turned them into various soups and ate them. I had pork, beef and poultry that I acquired from my son. I just kept pulling out an item and making into something for dinner. I have also hoarded up toiletries and cosmetics and same thing, I just keep using what I have. I have only been buying fresh fruits, veggies and dairy. I was also loving the thrift stores for decor justifying that it's inexpensive. I recently realized I have a bunch of decor boxed in the basement of family things. So now I've been shopping my basement. I was mad at myself for letting it get out of hand, but am now just happy that I've turned this around. Even a couple times this week, after visiting family, I was driving home and thinking how some Panda Express would taste so good for lunch. Then I think about what that one meal would cost, and how I can eat at home. It's not easy as I still want that Panda Express, but I am not going to do it. So see, we all have a story.
Panda, is good but yes it's $10.00 to $13.00 a plate😊
He will be glad you stocked up.
You're just so sweet. Love when you smile and confess. We all have issues. I spend most of my money on food & home improvement. I bought a tiny cottage as is and boy it needed alot if cosmetic upgrades. After 10 years im almost done.
Food is my excuse to spend but mostly to get out. We don't get out to do anything much.
Hi Tessie! We are all feeling the pinch financially. I like buying food too! My daughter called me, and told me about her plans to step out in faith. I am very proud of my daughter, who just became an entrepreneur. She is working from home! She is creating journals and calendar planners. She is working from home! Well, her calendar planner included a section of spending and finances! I told here everyone needs that calendar planner! We all go through periods of excess and lack. Pulling back on spending is wisdom. Well, Tessie, you have prepared your household well, for the leaner times. You are indeed a Proverbs Woman. Here is the justification for you. You have known lack and thrive anyway. A wise woman rises early in the morning to prepare the meal for her family. She works with her hands. Her husband is blessed, because he lacks nothing and can trust his wife fully. Her children rise up and call mama, blessed. Tessie, you are worthy of such praise. Hugs!
What a beautiful thing to say!
If any of these people who have told you to " get a job", would do what you do, they couldnt do it. You HAVE some of the hardest work there is with a garden and canning, making soap, yard, ect. Thats work!!!! Theres no clocking in and out with what you do. It is a " real" job.
Thank you so much Diane that means a lot to me this is just the beginning I will have a direction on some of my videos not all that I'm going to be sharing my life in fuller detail in in order to help people
Diane, Your Comment Is So True!
So do I, especially canning! You are not alone.
This was a good topic. I used to buy a lot of food and can meats, veggies but its just my husband and I and now we have a lot of food and now I have cut back on stocking up and are now eating it. Good topic today. No, your not alone on this subject.❤
I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't colour my hair. I don't have false nails or eyelashes. I try to keep my spending to essentials only. But my guilty pleasure is spending way too much on my grandsons. They just mention something and I'll get for them. I have to cut back. My daughter said so 😂😂😂😂
Tessie -- I Love Your Honesty 😊
From The First Second Your Beautiful Smile Was Saying-- I've Been Abit Naughty 😅🤗,
I Love Your Innocence Tessie And If Loving And Buying Food Is Your Only Guilty Secret Then I Take My Hat Of To You Dear Sister!!!
This Video Was Adorable,
Blessings,
Andrea
So good to see you here, dear Friend! It's a chilly, rainy night here in Ohio, but being able to stop by here at the Homestead makes it feel warmer!
Blessings to you and yours and to all the HT community! 😀

Oh dear, I am bad at stocking food and books.I have cut way down on spending because I had too. Things are tight and are going to get tighter. With your help I have a good pantry going now. Preserved some food from my garden. Thank you very much. Blessings 🙏🙏🙏
I squirrel things away as well Tessie. Fabrics, clothes food.. . This is just being responsible in my opinion 🤷. I like to cook and eat lovely food as well. I used to be v overweight but I managed to lose 4 stone about 10yrs ago and I've kept to a normal weight . I still love to eat ,I don't eat between meals and this is how I reduced my weight slowly. You are a great lady Tessie and I bet your children were always fed and dressed adequately. A lot of people today can't cook,sew,knit .... They suffer now as times are very hard world wide. If they watched your videos they'd see how to pull through 😊. Please keep making 🙏 your beautiful ,enchanting videos 😍 Thank you from 🇬🇧 ❤
I’m guilty of stockpiling food, and my other habit is buying books too. It comes from a need for security. You are sweet, and work hard. Thanks for sharing.
Yes✔️
RobiniL4715 what kind of books do you like?
Book hoarder here too! I love recipe books!
My problem is food too! I am afraid I won't be able to get food...I don't drive and someone takes me shopping once a month. You are not alone.
I love food too. I love to cook and I love to grocery shop. I don't know where it came from but if I hear there is going to be some kind of shortage, such as in 2020, I go out and stock pile. I haven't stopped stock piling now. Well I have cut down but I just bought a 50lb bag of potatoes and one of onions. Lol
We have a nice family here ❤. God bless everyone here.
You are absolutely not alone! I am addicted to clearance sales. I'm getting better. I also did not grow up handling finances. My husband paid all the bills. I don't have to watch my spending, but that does not discount the fact that I am required, by God, to be a good steward of what He has blessed me with. I'm also required to be disciplined and have boundaries in every area of my life. When I get out of control with my spending, I feel God take my face in His hands and turn my face to His face and say, very sweetly, very gently, "You need to stop." Stopping is not easy. It does not feel good. But what I do is put some guidelines in place and with the help of God, follow them. Thank you for this video. Thank you for all your videos!!!
I really enjoyed this video, I am a food over buyer!
I love canning, freeze drying, freezing, we need a weekly live video as a support group, if someone came into my house and saw how much food I have, it would be embarrassing!!
My sister closed her camp and gave me so much food it's embarrassing. My little freezer was almost empty and now it's filled to the brim! All kinds of breads and soups, too.
What a blessing, you have a good sister 👍
Hi Tessie! I think these times in the world right now gives us an urgency to buy extra food. Have a blessed night!
Good Evening Tessie, Sisters, Brothers, and Friends, Be sure to hit that like button Tessie will appreciate it Greatly also be sure to watch all the ads :-)
Good Evening Owen 🤚

Your food pantry is amazing.
Oh how I smiled at this video…so much of what you said is true for me. I love buying food too! Thank you for being honest and sharing! And I need to be more of a tightwad, I am a numbers person so I track what I spend…but tracking doesn’t mean I spend less…it just means I know what it is ;).
Im guilty also Tessie😬
Food, books, magazines and blankets! I always tell my family I have no bad habits like smoking, drinking and gambling or traveling so I have to have my simple pleasures😊
I am the same. I have wayyyy too much food stored. I got part of that from my parents who were in the UK during WWII. I have taken it to a point where Im no longer sure of what I have. Time to sort, organize, uae, and get a grip on it all.
Late again. Cooking dinner and getting more yard work done. Now I’m cleaning my pool before I close it out for the season. Looking forward to this cause… books and mark down food we don’t need cause we already have everything we need. ❤❤
Hi Tessie..my biggest hoard issue is clearance food 😊 I grew up in a prepper household and it's just ingrained in me. I plan on using my current supply, which is massive 😂, over the winter months and replenishing it as I use it with a new supply while keeping a good inventory of it so it doesn't get out of control. I do meal plan based on my at home grocery store 😂 . I really love to cook and bake and honestly it brings me joy. 🩷🩷🩷
This is me as well.
You are not alone. I am guilty as well. After toilet paper shortage of 2020 I hoard that as well. I am now trying to cook from my 3 freezers, 2 refrigerators and big stocked pantry. The only things I buy now are eggs, milk and cheese as we need it. It was a real problem for me for awhile but I am getting a handle on it now. I’ve been saving a lot of money doing that. Thank you for talking about this. No one wants food insecurity.
I am guilty of the same thing!😅 I realized the other day that I do not need to buy ( or make) any more condiments, beans, rice or spices or tea or coffee for at least the next year!
You had me smiling through the whole video. You’re funny.
Me Too Norma ☺️
I must confess I spend money on unnecessary food too. If times got really bad I don’t want my family to starve. I told my husband just the other day that we didn’t to go grocery shopping for a couple months besides our raw milk runs. Oh yeah and on seeds!! I am forever buying seeds! Thanks for sharing!
Tessie, I have seen your pantry and Larder. It is impressive for sure. It is time for you to take all the prep work you have done, sit back and enjoy using all the prep pantry stuff. I have a channel that covers using what you have. It is going to be interesting to see you use the stuff you have preserved and prepared throughout the winter to keep you and your husband fed in the cold winter coming. See it as a challenge like everything else. In the cold winters of the 1800's they lived off of the storage they had all winter long. There is your challenge in my humble opinion. Happy cooking by using what you have!
So glad you get to keep Thrifty Thursday! I don't get to go to thrift stores anymore due to my health, so going with you makes my week! Will look forward to your videos about food you already have. I'm trying to be honest like you were. Trying, not there yet.
Challenge...dang, we are all there!
I think getting through stressful feelings is a challenge.
Thank you so much this is just the beginning i'm going to be sharing my life in big details my total finances and everything I figure what do I have to lose and everything I have to gain by helping others through this journey with me
HAHA LOVE U because me and hubby do the same thing. I buy food too!! ❤❤❤ that what make a good marriage working and helping each other. ❤❤❤❤
Tessie, I think that was one of your cutest, funniest videos yet. The expression on your face while “confessing” was priceless! Thank you so much for your honesty. Times are getting harder but we can do this. ❤❤❤
Well I’m guilty of spending way too much money on food preps also Tessie 😅 But it never goes to waste. Food donations if it doesn’t get used in the proper amount of time. Take comfort in the fact you are not alone! 😂
So true! 😂
My husband has been out of work for over 2 months because of health issues so I am always looking for frugal ideas and love watching your videos. Food is definitely a high cost that I need to work on. I think you must live near me (I'm in Lancaster county) and I hope i can run into you one day! Thanks for all you are willing to share to help others.
Tessie, my problem is being at home all the time and getting tired of looking at my decor and always wanting to change things up and get something new to look at lol, I love to decorate
I enjoy others sharing their budgets and money savings. It encourages me to save more. I hope you share more about these things.
My guilty confession is... I need to stop buying clothes that I don't need. I spend more money on clothes than anything else. As of right now I quit, no more clothes! I will never wear all the clothes I have in this lifetime. No more
I’ve now have a only food area. This means I can only buy what will fit in that space. Makes me think and plan. Only been using this method a couple of months but so far it seems to be working. Thanks for the video.
I like buying food too! I thought I was the only one! Smiles :)
P.s. this was such a fun video with your personality coming through so naturally. And it’s completely understandable to be concerned about food. For many people that’s a core part of their mindset. It is for my older daughter because she spent the first five years of her life in an orphanage in Ukraine. So it doesn’t matter that she’s spent a dozen years now with an abundance of food- it’s always a concern for her.
Praying for your oldest daughter. She is blessed to have you
Please don’t feel bad we all are all feeling bad about something 🥰
Yep, guilty as charged. My one sister and I got it honestly from our dad. We can't pass up a sale on food! If it's a great buy, it's not one or two extra, it might be a case extra. Meat? Several packages! And yes, I have been dehydrating since I discovered your channel. Now I make my teas that I grow, seasonings, etc. Plus, I dehydrated vegetables for soup in the future. Thanks, Tessie! ❤
Good Morning Tessie, Sisters, Brothers, and Friends, Wish you all a wonderful blessed Sunday filled with Gods Joy and Happiness :-) Remember to pray for one another and for all around the world :-) God Bless You ! Love you all :-) Keep smiling be safe :-)
I'm right there with you. I hate "shopping" but live the grocery store.
Mine would be vitamins and supplements! I guess that's not a bad thing, I just want hubby and myself to be healthy! And we did go to $general this evening and got some canned food items with the 5.00 off 25.00 coupon.
Hurrah for you Tessie. I am not one to go cloths shopping or shoe shopping but let me loose in the grocery store and I’m in heaven! Bahha my husband is always thrilled when I wanna set in the car when he runs into the store 🤣🤣because I’m like you so much joy! Tee he I found this video fun honesty is good for the soul and when your about the father’s business it’s even more satisfying!
You make me laugh! You are as cute as you can be! It's your money, you buy what you want! My guilty confession is spending too much money on my grandkids...and I aint sorry! I love it, it makes me happy!
Tessie, you are not alone I am a stock up person as well. Food, toiletries, cleaning products, otc health and first aid supplies etc. I'm a mom, grandmother and great grandmother so I have a lot of people to look out for is my mentality. I do it on a budget of $50 a week and over these past yrs since the pandemic I have a nice stockpile.
Oh Tessie you really crack me up sometimes! I got a kick out of this video and you're confessions. We do all I guess have our weakness points and even at almost 84 I still haven't mastered mine all the time either. Mine would be I can't pass a book sale be it at the library book store, or the senior center here in town I always find a book and I really don't need anymore in the house. Mine you these are really cheap books too but I have to bring one home. Honestly I don't know if I will live long enough to read them all but there you go! Also I love to buy the Hershey bags of miniature candy bars especially the Mr. Goodbars in the bag. Snacks too. Not one for clothes and things for the house unless necessary at my age I think I can treat myself don't you. Fun video look the other way when you go by a grocery store for awhile. Thanks for the fun video.
Tessie Good afternoon and every video is such wisdom and insight. Finances is tough for so many to talk about but ever so important. You work very hard, I remember hearing those words when I did creative jobs at times. Glad you don't let people shake your boat. Love to you.
Good points! I've noticed that if someone is employed by a major tech company or financial institution and they work from home -- that's supposedly fine. But when Tessie does it -- for some people -- well that's "different"! I'll never know why that is!
@@kesmarn good point!🤔
@@kesmarn That's An Excellent Point Kes,
Blessings To You,
Andrea
I like food too. I love knowing that I have food. I love growing food, and seeing how much food I have. You’re not alone.❤ food is such a precious and powerful resource- yet, hoarding food is not being a good steward of the resource, in my opinion. I’m working through this myself, Tessie!
Tessie, I have tried to spend less these days too it's hard I love to get food too as well as other items I rarely go any where any more and mostly stay at home doing many things it can be hard at times to not buy things I have been good on this I am learning as I go :-) Love you my sister :-) God Bless You and Ken :-)
Thank you so much this is just the beginning i'm going to be sharing my life in big details my total finances and everything I figure what do I have to lose and everything I have to gain by helping others through this journey with me
Yes mine is food too. I need to stay out of the stores and quit looking at the sales flyers. I have two chest freezers and the freezer over my fridge that are stuffed to bursting. Freezer meal for supper tonight. Crock pot Crack chicken and it was delicious. Everyone said they would love to have that every week.
As soon as you said, "food" I said "bingo." I have exactly the same problem. I don't have as much stocked up as you do, but I really have to watch myself. For more than a year now I have taken a picture of every receipt, totaled monthly and other amounts, and have made extensive notes about food. I have worked really hard not to "hoard" too many of one item, and have worked hard at rotating my stock. Even as I sit here right now, I realize that I just told my hubby that I want to can some beans this week. And then someone gave me some lovely canned beans. Are they like the ones I can? In my mind not, but I am right now telling myself that I don't need to can more beans this week because I have enough right now. Let's use what we have. I'm with you, Tessie!
I'm going to really share so much my background fundamentalist teachings and some of the things I never knew about life it's going to be so interesting I'm going to step out boldly like I never have before I don't have anything to lose then I have a lot to gain by sharing my life with people

Hi

@@foreverlovely2580 Hi There Forever Lovely 🤚
All the time!

I’m guilty of the food buying as well. In 2008/2009 when things went south, we lost money and were strapped. I’ve always had a full pantry, and it got us through. From that time on, I’ve build a bigger pantry and garden, learned new ways of preserving and ways to purchase more food cheaper. But I must stop, we are out of storage space. I think it’s just a woman’s instinct to be this way. Read Proverbs 31. ❤
Making this public will keep you in line for sure! We all have our vices. Ok for most of us here it’s food! Us women we like to nest!!!😅😂
🙏🏻❤️
I have food insecurity , I grew up being hungry roo many times , and when the C hit we got very low and I panicked and whet out and Spent over $300 . but I have since then I have started an emergency Pantry , that is how I found your Channel🙏❤
I like your shirt Tessie ,that colour looks good on you. Yeah we all need to watch our pennies now a days.I spend to much money buying used clothes at second hand stores. I’m working on it. It sure is fun though. Have a great evening everyone!
Hope That You Have A Great Evening Too Julie 🤚

You as well, julie!
❤❤❤ ya Tessie
Your channel is so comforting, and you are not alone. God Bless you my friend 🙏🏻
Don't ever feel alone. I am so like you. You are blessed with many friends. You are in my prayers daily.
Each time you say 'tightwad,' I think of the library books I have checked out right now, The Tightwad Gazette volumes 1 & 3. There is a 'Complete Tightwad Gazette' which contains 1, 2 & 3, plus another section at the end.
I'm with you on that one. Food is a thing for me too.
This subject has been on my mind today too.
I have my kids and grandkids over on Monday night's and I over do it. They all go home with enough for another meal and often plates to drop off with Great grandparents.
Like you I love shopping for food sales. I need to cut back as well. Most of us probably have the same thought of stocking up a little extra and canning and preserving also.
I enjoyed your sweet video.
Good evening to you Tessie❤ 😊
Good evening and happy Saturday
@@marybethsmith6458 happy Saturday to you Marybeth 💕
Tessie, I have the same guilty confession! 🥰❤️😉
You are so normal,be proud.
Amen To That Deborah
Darling Tessie!!!! You definitely are not alone!! Food is one of my problems! Thrift Store another, lastly Books! I have a love of books cookbooks, gardening, fruit trees, many many more!! Now I am trying very hard to do better but geez it’s hard! I fall off the wagon quite a few times but I keep on trying! I’m doing better but definitely not there yet!! So we will all back each and give encouragement! That’s what family and friends do!! Loved this video
I love having a large stockpile of food. If it doesn't get used by a certain date, it is either put in our blessings box at our church, or I let people I know who are struggling, come "shopping" in my pantries. Everyone is a winner!
Nothing wrong with loving food and preserving food etc. Things could be a lot worse lol I am guilty of being frugal however. If I find clearance sale etc. Sometimes I buy items because it's such a good deal but I don't really need it. So this is something that need to work on. Example I have measuring spoons. I found a sale on them and bought two more sets. Did I really need to no but I bought them anyway. So this is something I need to work on. I don't need to buy it just because it's on sale. I'm on a limited budget being retired. And is do good with budgeting most of the time . But there are times I fall short so we always have things to work on😊
When I blow the budget it is because of food. Thank you for speaking up about this. Great video!
Matthew 6:31 says,Therefore do not worry,saying, what shall we eat?or what shall we drink? Or what shall we wear?🙏❣
Tessie sis, I had a very difficult time financially when raising my son as a single parent. Food insecurity was definitely an issue. Overtime I was able to recover from it. It does feel good to be able to stock up, but not go crazy.
Tessie can relate to this on so many levels ! I squirrel as well and have had hard times now I have the luxury of being in control of my own money. I also support my children in nz who are developing a homestead property I consider that an investment 😂 I also like buying food 😊 I like a variety in my pantry fridge and freezer 😀 Okay confession if I see a nice dress I buy it but it has to be on a sale 😅
You are so real....I appreciate you dear
Thank you so much !!
Hugs to you Tessie🤗

I love the $100 per week challenge. I’m in!!
God bless you. I have a freezer in my kitchen I need to eat out of. Peaches, for pie. yum. Luv ya, deborah.
Lol I have a friend who literally cooks and posts her dinner meals every day and she is the same way. She passionately said I love food, the textures, cooking, etc. I really felt and appreciated her passion lol
I like buying food too, Tessie. When I feel stressed out or anxious, being able to open up the fridge or pantry and see food stacked up is so comforting!
I have only been watching you for a few weeks but LOVE the joy and lightness you bring. Cried with laughter with your admissions on the stairs 😝
I LOVE grocery stores Tessie. In my mind, I can justify spending money in a grocery store but feel guilty spending it in a department store.
