#livingonfoodstorage #foodstorage #hugegroceryhauls - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
With as many freezer meal, crockpot, and just regular day in the life videos you do that show you cooking every meal... HOW IN THE WORLD CAN PEOPLE SAY YOU’RE HOARDING?!?! Some folks just have to be negative to nice people! I’ve learned a lot from you and have implemented a lot for my small family. Thanks for sharing yourselves with us ♥️♥️♥️
💜 I just wanted to send a little positivity and support your way. I could tell you were nervous. You are kind. You don’t hoard or brag. Your motives are pure and I support you.
Yes! She has always tried to have short term and long term storage! She is extremely considerate of others while maintaining what they’re taught (have a year at all times).
I'm building my food storage. Kimmie is my go to for sure on the how to's.
Thank you so much!!! ❤️
Everyone is building a food storage now! It isn’t a secret. I’ve been adding to mine since June.
You're not braggin. You're helping the young and old. I'm 65 and still learning how to keep some foods.
Planning ahead is not hoarding, it's being smart and prepared in these uncertain times. Thank you for a great video!!
Amen ta that! When Rona hit I was set bc I prepared for flu season.
In our family also I grew up with my parents having a sizeable pantry, root cellar, four freezers, and our basement to store canned foods. I lived on a working farm and stores were so far away. Everything we ate was home made. When I married I only knew about baking and buying to put away in case something happens. On the other hand my husband didnt understand until I taught him. By no means are you a hoarder. This is a working pantry and go to place. When I have to stock up, I go to my food storage to pull food. Then I keep a log with what is needed and used. Now days we are alot older and there are times our kids go shopping at our house lol. Its there to use. It works yet one has to know how to prep and use. For me its natural. Thanks Kimmi for sharing with others to educate how this works. 😊
Thank you!
It’s just smart to shop the sales. Knowing that grocery stores have sales that cycle 8-12 weeks, I purchase items that we use On Sale and I get what my family will need to last 12 weeks until that sale comes back around. This means I will purchase 12 weeks worth of this cereal, that mustard, those pickles ...to last us 12 weeks (on average) and this is how you can save up to 40% on your grocery budget without ever clipping a coupon. Add coupons and digital coupons and deals for even more savings. When I run out of that item I just shop my pantry and if I run out all together I know that sale is not far off where I’ll stock up again. It just makes financial sense and I’m quite happy to keep that extra savings in my own pocket and not the stores. This has helped us greatly when Covid hit and I didn’t want to go out as much.
Yep, exactly what I do. I'm getting green beans for $.50 a can right now and it's really the only canned veggie we eat. About two more cases and I'm set for the next year. Also, google the annual sales. Every month has sales on certain items. March is the annual freezer sales and great deals then. www.inspiringsavings.com/shopping-the-sale-cycles-guide/
@@rhiahlMT Excellent! I know about the sales, such great information to have. I follow a great blog called southernsavers.com and her information is great for my area but you can find similar blogs in every region of the US. Makes saving money so easy!
@@kristenevans4557 Yeah, I'm in Montana and there are a few here that blog. I usually spend winters in Virginia and Georgia the last few years, which I'm not this year, easier to be in the wilds of Montana than in Marietta, GA in a pandemic. However, we get some seriously great deals on potatoes in September going to local Montana farms, great apples too. I used to get a 100 lb box of potatoes for like $10 and they kept in the basement. There were 7 of us at that time. Only 3 of us left if the two kids are here, they do a lot of stuff away from home. I did can about 40 lbs in October for fried potatoes for the ones still here. First time I've canned them. It's working out well. I'm diabetic and done with that nonsense for the most part though.
I didn’t know about 12-week cycles. Thank you!
You're so lucky over there, we don't get sales like yours! And forget about clipping coupons cause we don't get them either ☹ I'm always stocked up though and I didn't have to leave the house for months cause I had everything in, husband would just pick up milk, veg and fruit. It was great
Grocery pick-up is a huge money saver. No impulse buys. Strictly sticking to the list. No more. No less.
For me too!! Love grocery pick up.
Nothing is wrong with food storage, I do it myself, I have recently lost my job, now I don't have to worry about not having food, other than butter, bread, cream and veg. You are trying to educate people, and we appreciate it. I started this
Laying low is a good idea, but don't deplete your food storage. Now is not the time. Keep restocking as you can. When you notice the store shelves emptying, you will still be fully stocked.
You are so ahead of your time with your food storage pantry! I’ve watched you for years and didn’t start a pantry until this 2020 situation;) I wish I had followed your lead a while ago. Thanks for sharing your wisdom! We are a family of 6 so this is definitely a long time coming for us! I have really been enjoying doing this. It makes me feel secure in these uncertain times💕 Stay Safe!!
Living in Ontario Canada we are use to eating and shopping seasonally as well as always having a stocked up pantry for the long winter months...snow storms, frigid weather, power outages, dangerous driving etc.., Is all part of life and this year has also showed us that we are living in uncertain times. I am a 55 year old old empty nester, living in a very small disability check...but I try to meal prep, shop and buy things on sale and always have extra in my pantry.... Beans, rice, flour baking items etc... I dehydrated over the summer when fruits and veggies were extremely cheap, bought in bulk and vacuumed sealed items, used Mylar bags for grains, flour etc... Bought a bread maker( my lupus and arthritis make it hard to use my hands) just basically did a little at a time... Dollar stores are great for paper products, spices, toiletries, bags etc... Great video Kimmie....thank you for helping people to not panick, just do a bit at a time and be a little more prepared. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
You sound super prepared :) I hope to be like that one day!
Look up no knead breads here on youtube. Artisan bread with Steve. I used a lot of his recipes when kneading got to be too much. Now, I'm diabetic and it's out of my diet, but they were easy and great tasting.
I loved your little story about your grandpa and his Hershey kisses. I have a similar memory of my grandpa and those little candied orange slices. Such a sweet memory.
Thank you for your help and support. I have been working with my daughter and 3 teenage grandkids on building our short term storage. We are on a limited budget, but she has learned this year just how much it means to have a backup. By increasing our buying just a little every grocery haul we are doing so much better. This is the first year that we not only are eating healthier and less processed meals, but also have been able to not go to the food bank in order to make it thru the month. We have been getting together to make menu and meal plans, inventory our pantry, and buy smarter. We have homeschooled for the past 2 years and that was a great time to adjust to the goals we chose as a family. We have been "laying low and keeping our distance" since before the pandemic, which made it so much easier. Bless you and your family.
I never thought to vacuum seal my fresh veggies....this is brilliant! Going to do this today!
You can use it to seal opened cereal and chips bags to keep it fresh! I want to slap my hubby when he uses clips bc it goes bad much quicker that way 😊
Ignore the people who criticise you for your pantry storage. You do what’s best for your family and that should be respected. You have a good heart.
It it your money, your groceries, your house! It does not matter one damn bit what someone else thinks. Even if you never eat any of that stuff it is not anyone’s business!
It never hurt anyone to mind their own buisness with that said I love you videos... May God Bless You!!!!
Buying product in bulk at a reduced cost is a smart thing to do, especially with a big family. It's not hoarding at all and you waste nothing! I think you do an amazing job and your family is truly blessed to have a mom so dedicated and driven. God Bless!
Thank you!
Please don’t apologize. Your heart is pure and your information a selfless act! I just started my food storage a little while ago. I am concerned where we are all headed and being able to feed my family. Thank you for your videos and encouragement to all!
You are a kind lady! It is hard for people to ask for help sometimes, which is good to remind people that anyone can go through food insecurity.
You are an incredibly sweet person and I have watched you. I know that you have a giant heart. You are never insensitive. You made me cry at the end. These will be challenging times and I pray that we look out for one another. I send prayers out to everyone.
I started my long time food storage several years back. For anyone to call you a hoarder is plain foolish. Mine was a life saver during this pandemic.
I hope the pandemic has brought a little more understanding to this type of storage. I was confused seeing the food storage that my Mormon friends had growing up. But now as an adult, I get it. Preparedness is so important.
Nope, not hoarding at all especially if you’re not leaving home. Very smart and I’ve been doing this a little at a time and buying canned goods and rotating my stockpile since March. We can go out and buy it all but we have such busy schedules and it’s hard to just stop what we’re doing. I’m a new RN on the frontlines so I face the scary virus almost everyday and I see what it’s doing to our people. May God bless us all!! Love you and your family very much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was a great video. Not sure why people would be against it. You are not hoarding. Just carefully planning.
Yes! But people always find something to moan about I’ve found lol
I think she didn't want to be insensitive to those who may not be able to afford to do this kind of stocking up. That may be why she asked.
Bruh! Someone said “hoarding “ in relation to this video? 😂
Being prepared is NOT hoarding. Make no apologies for taking care of your family. Haters are always going to hate no matter what.
I agree I call it family insurance. You have house, life and car insurance, why cant you have food insurance. You can only count on yourself in a emergency, weather that be, illness, loss of job, emergency or the weather.
I know so true. Yet, when you and your family are hungry, they are going to be nowhere around. Take Care of Yourself.
@@samstevens7888 Well said, that makes complete sense, it is Food insurance. No one should be food shamed no matter how much or how little they may have.
@@A2thaLO No one starts out with a cupboard of kitchen full of food. It takes time to build it up. I have been doing this for 10 years or so, it has saved my life a few times and has made life easier for a couple of other people I care about. You do what you can when you can. I had someone ask me why I prep once. I asked do you keep a spare tire in the car and extra top up fluids. They said yes, my answer was so why dont you save alittle extra food as a just in case like you do for you car. They understood then.
@TravelerPat Best buy dates on alot of foods dont mean anything. They just mean the maker of said food guarantees it to that date. Most foods can go alot longer, some can go years . Do some research you can find it out on the great and masterful GOOGLE lol
I'm a college student, so I can't really do a lot of food storage prepping (small apartment, student budget, etc.) but I have started my water bottle storage under my bed! Being in FL I should have water for hurricane supplies anyway lol. Thank you for the inspo! It's so much less daunting when you focus on just one extra item to store per shopping trip. It's slowly adding up and making me less anxious for sure. Love your videos and spirit!
Maybe get a cabinet you could put some food in? See what Ikea has for storage for small space.
I am currently living in an apartment with my family of 5. We have had to get really creative with the food storage. I got the bed frames that can have a full size Rubbermaid tote under them and we put a lot under each of our beds. We also are thinking of switching our coffee table to a storage one so we can put things in it. Good luck with your food storage!!
Oh here’s the best thing I EVER did for under the bed food storage: bed risers! You put the bed frame, each of the four feet, into a riser and you have just doubled the number of storage totes you can fit under! I get the storage boxes from Walmart, the longer ones (about $9.88) and two stack under the bed on top of each other! I can fit six totes under each bed.
Storage is a big issued for a lot of people! I utilize under sink cabinets, a visiting friend was surprised to see cans of veggies under the bathroom sink! A tv cabinet had doors hiding dry goods, sugar, flour.
There is a troll/bot movement discouraging food prepping for this winter. Don’t fall for it. We should all be preparing, even if it’s just mentally, for the next 6 months
Thank you so much for covering this, Kimmy!! We are living in such uncertain times, it's very scary! Ignore the haters, you & Derrik are just taking care of your family. Good bless you!
We really don’t know what’s coming, but we all sense something is. It’s not too late to begin food storage. Just begin.
I long and short term storage when I started people did not understand but now it's not so many things being said. I love canning freezing and dehydrating thanks for all your information you and your family are a blessing to all who watch thanks so much
Kimmy, you have such a beautiful heart ❤️ You genuinely care so much about helping others and I appreciate so much the help you have given me and my family with food storage. Before this year we would have about a week's worth of food and that was it. I just shopped week to week and didn't like having extra on hand. Earlier this year I felt God leading us to start preparing more for our family's needs. We bought a freezer, joined Sam's Club and Covid hit. It was so crazy and all God leading us to be prepared just before it all hit. This has allowed us to stay out of stores when needed, not stress shortages and allowed us to be prepared to help others in need. Thank you so much for sharing all your tips and teaching people like me to just be a bit more prepared ☺️
I feel you're wise to prepare for your family as you have. It's a loving thing to do.
I like that you put the prices on the screen! I bet that is a lot of work... So thank you
I have to tell you that shortly before the pandemic I watched your food storage video. I stocked up. When the grocery stores had bare shelves mine were full. You are doing a great job. Thanks!
What the heck is wrong with people...why is it that keeping a good amount of food in your food storage is bad. My mother had one ,and that's why I have always have one. It's cheaper to buy in bulk or when on special.
I don't smoke,rarely drink, don't get my nails done every 3 weeks and I don't need to go on a trip in the Bahamas every year. So my money goes for the needs of my family.
When you judge and point a finger at people, 3 more are pointed at you! Be kind,happy and giving.
GREAT JOB KIMMY!
Those of us who have been following you for years know you have always Shopped what you store, and Store what you shop - is that right haha Was always your catchphrase 😂😂👏👏👏 we love you Kimmy 💖
I love when you post video's like this. I am a huge advocate for food storage and preparedness. I have been trying to encourage family and friends to do this. I have a good amount of food stored. And just a week ago when I was putting some stuff away in my kitchen pantry I had the prompting to fill my pantry as full as I could with food as well. I was blown away at that prompting because I know I have a good amount of food. But, I definitely follow President Monson's advice to never postpone a prompting. I know I have a lot but I just slowly add more as my budget allows. Plus I don't go super crazy at the store because I know others need it too. But, I also don't have to since I have been doing this for years. The earthquake we had in the Salt Lake Valley this past march also got me in gear to prep my medicines (over the counter) hygiene products, laundry soaps and such, house hold cleaners which now I have a good amount. Next is emergency equipment. Everything I do I have done in order of importance to me. And I am so grateful to Heavenly Father because he has guided every step along the way. And I am super grateful that you are doing your part in teaching all of us and inspiring all of us to continue to work on preparedness. You are definitely a light in so many of our lives!
Kimmy, I would love a follow up video showing what you learned during your no grocery store time. What did you go through quicker than you thought and what were you left with a lot of? I haven't stepped foot inside a grocery store since March. I do a pickup order once a week and alternate between my local grocery store, Walmart, and Sam's. I've actually been able to stock up even doing pickup orders. For example, every Walmart pickup order I purchase a 6 pack of toilet paper. If I need ranch dressing, I'll buy 1 to use now and 2 for my food storage. I try to only spend about $20 each week on stock up items and it adds up quick. So glad I have those packs of toilet paper now that I see it's running low again. And if any family or friends need some I'm glad to be in a position to help them as well.
Good idea on a follow up video!!
Those claiming you're a "hoarder" have no clue. As you mentioned, things happen with jobs (lived through that in the past and so wish we had had a stock of food!). Winter's also coming and try as they might, the weather experts don't always get it right and things (blizzards, ice storms, etc.) pop up. Medical crises also come unexpectedly (also been through that :( ) Personally, I just hate to grocery shop so I stock up because of that. Keep up the great work young lady. You're doing an awesome thing by sharing your experience.
@Ashley Slack 1. Thanks for your "concern". 2. I don't "hoard" as I use everything or share with our local food pantries. 3. You have absolutely no idea what my monetary situation is so stop assuming. 4. How is buying a few cans of food causing a supply chain disruption?; and 5. I don't obsess over anything other than my grandchildren. You have a wonderful day judging people you don't even know.
This was a great video. We started stocking up a few years ago just for an occasion like this. I love my "store" it's so nice not having to go out all of the time for something. I need a food saver though! Fresh foods just don't last long. With all of the sickness around I like to stay in. Stay safe.
Can't believe I've been watching this video of yours over and over again, more than 10 times now. It's just so satisfying.
❤The last two minutes literally brought me to tears❤
You are so genuine with a clearly beautiful heart. I’m not even sure how I found you but I’m so glad I did. Thank you for all that you do. Sending love and gratitude from Bakersfield California.
You are so kind, I'm so you glad you found my channel.
You are the most precious person Kimmy. Just watching you and how you are with your family, how kindly you speak to your audience, and at this end of this video when you teared up it just shows what a kind and amazing person you truly are.
Thanks for always bringing education to videos like this. Thank you for praying too!! Lost my job at beginning of this and still hunting for job. So life has been tough. Praying for everyone else too!! ❤️ Happy Thanksgiving
We have a food saver and we freeze our meat with it. Never did I think to do my fresh veggies. We throw away so much fruit and veggies cause it goes bad so fast!! This is genius! Also, I have been watching for a couple years now, this by far is my favorite video.
Thank you!
This is a great idea! I’m not sure now is the time to deplete your supply though. Good luck. Thanks for sharing!
I had the same thought!
Thank you so much for this. You brought me to tears at the end. ❤️
If this is hoarding sign me up!! I'm more prepared for this wave of this virus....I spent the summer creating my food storage. Thank you for encouraging and showing by example how to do this.
For years I have stored food, kept my freezer stocked for 'an emergency '. Well, since our nation is in 'an emergency ' I needed to change my thought process to living off what we have to preparing. Now is my time to actually use what I have. Thank you for sharing your plan.
This is so necessary in our society today. Every faith and every household should teach food storage. In United States we have food lines that span miles long. What if those people practiced food storage? what a blessing it would be now in there time of need. Thank you for enlightening us and teaching us this valuable skillset.
Kimmy, you have such a kind soul. I was choked up at the end today. And you’re an inspiration for food storage!
I have been watching this channel for about 2 months and I watched the past videos to get caught up. I am totally hooked! And todays filled my heart with so much love. I love how much you care about humanity. YOU ARE A TRUE BLESSING TO THIS WORLD
Thank you Sarah 🤗
My father taught us all how to do this growing up. He had a whole room that he called "our store" which was our storage room. He lived through the depression and thought that this was a great idea so no one would ever go hungry. We also helped those less fortunate. Don't forget to rotate your stock. My husband and I do this and probably could live for one year from our storage and freezer. We do not have any "fresh" foods except what we have in our fridge. We have seen so many empty grocery store shelves during this pandemic on the news and in person. We have given food to our adult children and grandchildren so that they could feed their family. God bless.
So grateful for this video. Hubby and I just started storing food this year. Long-term storage is a new concept to me.
I am better prepared than ever, videos like this, help me. It is not hoarding, it is planning smart.
Great video!
We have food storage and it's amazing! My husband was laid off and it took six months before he found a new job. We were so thankful for our food storage and being able to provide for our family. I do shop our storage and restock each grocery order while we can.
Thank you!
I live alone and find myself composting too many whole vegetables, especially cakes. Now I know that can buy for two-three weeks by using a vacuum/sealer!
By showing this I think you will help a lot of people. Thank you for sharing.
You are not hoarding at all!! I love the ideas that you give, and I am using them in my own grocery plan now. My family isn't as big as yours,( it is just my husband and I and I am retired now). It has helped me do groceries for 3 months at a time. I am still learning and love all the information that you give. I look forward to new videos in the future. Thank you for all your help! You have saved us quite a bit of time and money😉❤
It's smart to plan ahead and stock up, especially during these uncertain times. I enjoy your videos so much and look forward to seeing every one.
You don’t need to defend yourself! You are doing what you can and what you think is best for your family! I have learned so much from you over the years and really appreciate the information! I have added those books to my Amazon cart and will definitely order it. Do you have other books you recommend? I often think about how would I survive without google? Like books on basic medical, appropriate cooking temperatures, gardening etc. there are a ton of books out there but don’t know where to start.
Personally, I would love to shop your storage room. Lol We are stocking up on important items too. You know, animals tuck food away for the winter, there's no reason why we humans shouldn't. Yes, the job market is scary. We've had very close calls with my husband's jobs. I say jobs because he's had to start new ones and at our age, that isn't easy. It's scary times. You have a beautiful, giving, caring heart Kimmy. Big Hugs!!!!!
Thanks to your videos on food storage I spent the last few months building our food storage. My husband thought I went crazy. We live in a small apartment and I made room in our walk in closet that doesn't have any heat so it gets cold in there. One day he went into the walk in closet came out and told me there's food in the closet.. 😂 In August and September every time we went to Costco I bought peanut butter, my husband complained we would have too much peanut butter. So I stopped getting him peanut butter. The other day he said he was out of peanut butter, I was going to Costco anyway and I couldn't find peanut butter. I felt like saying this is why I wanted to stock up, but I didn't. I went to our local grocery store and got him a large jar. The same store has peanut butter on sale this week so I'll get him more. I've been able to reduce our weekly grocery bill. So thank you!
That is so great!
Kids broke into the cereal, hehehe, my son is the same, he rummages through my haul and breaks into food that he likes
I think you are doing well and I’m doing the same thing. I have always had a little extra and cook out of my pantry, but I added to get through the winter. To many unknowns. Better to have and be all set, rather then need and can’t get, just because it is not available, shipping issues, farm to store to consumers, or loss of job. Never mind if any of us got sick. I also keep loved ones and friend/neighbors in mind. You never know when someone may need a little help and this way we have a little extra we could share, or make a meal and drop of to someone who needs it. Be well, stay safe.
In our areas, almost every school offers meals for people who need it. In the past our family needed the help and were grateful for these services. Please reach out, every one needs help sometime in their lives, and most people I think want and are willing to help
Basically in the most indirect way she made this video.. put herself out there because she knows things could get hard and she is hoping to inspire as many of you as possible to start building your food storage so your family doesn’t have to go hungry. She obviously understands not everyone has the money. There is places that give food boxes. You can build your pantry that way and spend $5-$10 a month per check whatever you can afford and buy grains. The dollar store has 2lbs of rice for a dollar, a pound of beans for a dollar, oatmeal. Nobody is saying go spend thousands now! Store them in air tight containers. Glass or food grade buckets whatever your budget allows. I re use the glass jars my pasta sauce comes in. I store rice, beans, sugar, flour, pasta.
I got a number of food grade buckets from the bakery dept. at my local grocery store for free, just ask them. Some may charge a small fee but some don’t. I was able to get two sizes and now have my flour, sugars, rice and beans packed up and ready for winter. A great idea for those of us on a tight budget.
Stay well everyone.
Can’t wait to see more videos like this! I really
appreciate the ideas!
You are so genuine!! You can tell in your videos that you truly care. Putting yourself out for the public takes courage and you do it with such grace. Your family is in our prayers beautiful❤🇺🇸
I enjoy watching your videos. I to have started gathering food to have on hand. Thank you for sharing your information and your sweet family .
I like videos like this . Another you tuber I watch does mostly sponsored vlogs now I used to like her vlogs now its just a money grab channel . So it’s nice to watch a interesting vlog without sneaky ads in the middle. I don’t keep as much food as your family but we are only a family of three and we live within walking distance of 3 supermarkets and a few butchers and greengrocers and bakeries.
I do do sponsored deals once in a while.
Kimmy,you are precious!! Thank you for your videos but more importantly for sharing your heart and your faith!! You never know who needed to hear it. Blessings to your family.
You are amazing! Love how informative your video is along with comparison prices . Thank you also for sharing resources people can go to if they are in need of food . Your emotional ending was so comforting and made me emotional as well. You sense the need in your spirit, for it is real . Many people are struggling. I’ve been stocking up in my apartment, so loved your mention of storing water in Shaylee’s closet . God bless your Sunday .🙏🏽🙋🏻♀️🏡💕
I have always stocked up in supporting my family. Never anything wrong with that. Love your video’s. .
I can tell you are kind and care about others. God bless.
Thank you
I have been prepping for 3 years now. Don't stress. Thats my biggest tip.
Hi Kim my husband and I have also started eating out storage goods only also numbers are so high here we just feel safer doing this for now and will restore later.
I love your videos especially the food storage ones cause you explain it so well. You aren’t a hoarder. You encourage many people.
This video is very helpful! You don't have to explain yourself and how you take care of your family. These are uncertain times and we've seen we def have to be self reliant. Kudos!
You do what's best for your family that's all that matters
Thank you, Kimmie. Very informative. Looking forward to the food storage video later in the week. You put a lot of thought, time and energy into making the videos for us. It’s GREATLY appreciated. 😃
Thank you so much for all of your videos. You are pouring a lot of love into this and I am just starting and find it extremely useful.
I'm not a creator of content, but I hear it is a lot of work!
You are AWESOME! Thank you for using your voice to help others prepare for the days ahead. God bless you and your sweet family. ❣️
When this pandemic hit my husband finally listened to me and we started to get our pantry in order. We are now somewhat prepared and have most of the basics. Thank you for the video and introducing me to those books. I’m headed to Amazon to see if I can order them.
Wow, so true! Your food storage is awesome! Peace of mind is an amazing thing in these trying times. Great job Kimmie!
I really appreciate the bit at the end. The covid relief free food giveaways have really saved my family this year. I do have a job, so I'm not able to make it to my local food banks hours. Earlier this year we were cut from three incomes to just me for our house of 4. Stress really set in hard for me especially when I made the least amount of money and was already not doing so hot financially. Right before the shutdown in March I started losing my ability to walk. I was already struggling to make it to my desk every day and being sent home to work remotely was actually a blessing for me. I was able to schedule in my physical therapy, and I'm not back to walking for 10+ minutes at a time with no pain. I'm able to stand again without having to sit after 2 minutes. The covid shutdown has both helped and hindered me personally. Physical therapy comes with a hefty price which frankly seems unfair 😂 the people and resources that have been offered during this time of food insecurity are super valuable, and we couldn't have gotten this far without them
Random tip: If you have a stand mixer, try making your own brown sugar. It’s just white sugar and molasses. You can find the “proper” ratio online - I just eye ball it. It’s really easy and tastes great.
Edit: I usually make about 5 cups at a time and store in an airtight container.
This works well and molasses and sugar have a very long shelf life. And I eyeball it too!
For some this makes sense, but I have never found it to be less expensive for what molasses cost me. I keep molasses for homemade BBQ sauce but it is less expensive for me to buy the brown sugar.
@@baillysmom how much is molasses in your area? The molasses I use is ~$3.24 for 12 ounces. It makes a lot of brown sugar for me; whereas, a 2lb bag of brown sugar is ~$1.62 where I live. It does work out cheaper for me to make my own, but others should definitely weigh the cost first and see which works out cheaper. Homemade BBQ sauce sounds good too. I’ve never thought to try that!
@@annajackson2239 around 5 to 6 for the same size jar. So I save it to make my bbq sauce. I can buy brown sugar for about $4 (maybe a bit less) for 8 pounds. It would be less if I bought in larger quantities, but this size works for us.
Love this video!! Kimmie thank you for taking the time to do this!!! I think its great that you are stocking up!! Being prepared is the way to go!!!!
...and this is why I watch your videos. Great video and message Kimmy. We love you too!
I really got motivated years ago, when I saw your first food storage room tour. It seemed like, all the others I saw online were all home canned goods, bulk items for long term, or massive coupon stockpiles, that were unattainable, for regular people. Yours was "normal". More the way, I had always shopped, just a little extra. I really appreciate this video, I would only suggest, you not stop buying in general. We are seeing so many food shortages across the country, that it would be awful, to have to dip into long term, unless you absolutely have to.
This may be unpopular but I believe as wives and mothers it is our responsibility to take care of our families. To me, that means keeping a good stock of food, household goods, toiletries, and any other supply we might need. We never know when there might be a job loss, natural disaster, and now the possibility of the country shutting down again. Don't ever let anyone make you feel anxious or hurt you because you are doing what God has put you here for. I know your husband and mine as well are helping with all of the things we do, I know you don't know what all I do but it is similar to you if you looked at my grocery hauls on my channel you would see lol. I even have videos scheduled about vacuum sealing, without a vacuum sealer for part of it. In the end, we are the housewives and keepers of the home. That means we keep what we can afford in our homes for hard times. We keep our children fed and clothes. We keep medical things on hand that we can. We learn skills to help in every situation we feel we may face. We don't clear shelves, we don't buy more than our share, we have enough to help others in our family that aren't quite as prepared if we find they are in need. We are the keepers of our homes and if someone else doesn't like how we keep our homes they don't have to visit. I know that sounds harsh but we have to take care of our families. I love you and thank you for your prayers and you are in mine.
I like to do the same thing with groceries and always have had extras for uncertain times. God Bless and Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you for sharing! Love seeing info on food storage as a new mom making sure we have enough for food for our family especially are little is so important !
Thank you for doing these videos Kimmie! Love them.
Good morning Kimmy! Great video! If there was ever a good time to be testing out your food storage, it’s now. Just the fact that you won’t have to be going into stores as often during this pandemic, is fantastic 👍🏻. This is all great planning on your part (and Deric)👍🏻😁. Right from the very beginning when you guys first started doing this. It all starts with a plan, no matter what the reason ☺️. So 👏🏻 to you!!!!! Love you and have a wonderful day! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😘
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Donna!!
I definitely want to try this! We always shop our pantry and freezer first when meal planning so I think this would work out great! You seem to have all the tools you need, and I’ve learned a lot since finding your channel!
Kimmy!!!! Wonderful informative vlog, you have inspired me-
Thank you as always.
I absolutely love watching you. I've gotten a lot of good ideas from you. You have a kind and loving heart, don't let mean spirited people with hateful comments get you down.
Thank you so much Kimmy for sharing this,you are such an inspiration to me and so many others! Because of you I have built a 6 Mo food supply for my husband and I and our furbabies! Having a long term food storage has been such a comfort to me as I also suffer from anxiety. Thank you for the book recommendation,I have it in my Amazon cart. I love your freezer meals,slow cooker recipes and sharing your struggles with anxiety. Keep up the good work and have a blessed Thanksgiving!
I am a "prepper" of sorts as well. When the country closed back in March, I had supplies for my small family. We didn't need much. We moved in October and again I used up a lot of what we had in the pantry so we didn't have to move it. It saved money so we could buy things for the new house. Taking care of our families is a good thing. I like these videos and I'm glad you share with us.
