      Both my grandpas and lots of other relatives were dairy farmers. When my grandpas retired from milking, they raised Black Angus. My mom had Swiss roots and there were many cheesemakers. I simply can not imagine life without good meat and cheese. My favorite dessert hang-out is Dairy Queen. I buy as much as possible from my Wisconsin farmers whether it be veggies or protein. God bless our farmers!

      I wish my picky spouse would eat more than baked chicken and Doritos. When I make OUR eggs for him for breakfast, I get a grudging nod, trying to give his day a good warm breakfast start, instead of Tim Hortons donuts. I get nothing but pushback on my gardening choices that aren't corn beans it the "right" kind of potatoes. I asked for a trial separation and he said he wouldn't leave.

    My dog's food has gotten way too expensive. I have found that, if I buy ingredients on sale, I can make healthier food for less. I bought chicken legs for 99¢, frozen mixed vegetables for 99¢, oatmeal for $3.29 for a big container, I boiled the chicken in 6 cups of water, deboned it and put the meat, gristle & skin in the blender and blended it. I used the water, which was now stock, to cook the oatmeal and frozen vegetables. Then, I added the chicken, put it in snack size bags and froze it. For less than $4.00 I made enough food for 3 weeks. I still have enough of everything to make 2 more batches.

      It's not that way the less mouths you have to feed, and the more you forcibly involve the rest of your family to participate in high stakes team based community survival skills.
      This should never be a "you" thing... it definitely should be "we/us" thing. If those around you are not willing to embrace these necessary skills and learning to survive and thrive- find other people.

    I pulled a lb of butter out of the freezer from 11-18-22, I had wrote the price on it for some reason. It was $1.89. I looked up butter from the same store today it is $ 4.19 a lb. I'm not 100% if it was on sale when I got it last year but even so that's a huge price difference.

No one came to visit, so some 2 inch × 12 inch boards on empty 5 gal buckets, stacked so I can reach the back row. Put up several LED grow lights, bought some started plants, but will also start seeds. I did buy 3 - 25 lb boxes of tomatoes to make my sauce and other stuff, but fresh cherry tomatoes would be nice for Christmas! The boxes ranged from $23 - 30 a box and I got 25 pints per box. Also planting cabbage, cauliflower, some herbs, cucumbers, and a fig tree.

    One more thing, when we cull our birds, we grind them up whole, organs and all, and add a few things, veggies, fruits etc. And that is our cat and dog food for the winter. We replenish our birds each spring, for egg layers, and the random roosters are broth. Its a cycle, but it works well since the birds free range all spring, summer and fall and the feed price is very low. Just winter feed. And of course the eggs they lay in abundance pay for that. So, just some ideas to consider.

      You live in the desert with population not much because it'sall you can afford and there's few (if any) major natural disaster threats, nothing grows in sand, it's 126+ degrees in the shade in July, viable water is not guaranteed to you, and you'll never have a cellar because it's very costly to dig deeper than the caliche bedrock (about 3-6ft down).
      Welcome to my world.
      It's at least somewhat affordable. Comparatively.
      Though it's definitely "Mad Max" territory.
      There's an increasing number of people who just can't relate to other than bare minimum survival based prepping.
      You have a homestead. Good for you.

    Hi Leisa
    Last week was a major disaster for us. We were burgled.
    Presumably looking for cash and jewellery, some of the first of which they found, but the latter we lost years ago to previous thefts and never replaced. Presumably because we didn't have enough of those, they turned on my pantry. Every jar we had was thrown and smashed, the Mylar bags the ripped with a knife and the contents thrown in top of the broken jars. We lost a two year production of canned and stored food. Even replacing the jars will now cost at least £1000, over a month's pension for me. Our place is usually very secure but we have scaffolding round it and we left a tiny window upstairs open. Only a kid could have got in.
    Well, the dog and cat food is OK! So the dog now stays home if we are both going out. He would have been the final deterrent as he sounds ferocious. I took the week off to mourn my pantry, but need to get back to it now.

    The Dollar Tree has 12 oz bags (Great Northern, Red, Lentils) and 1 pound bags of beans (Pinto) for $1.25 each. 2 pound bags of brown and white rice also sell for $1.25 each. This may be a good option for some who can't afford to buy in bulk or want to just pay in cash locally. We have beans and rice, oats, wheat berries, popcorn, flour, etcetera stocked up, but, I also stock up on these beans and rice to feed our backyard chickens. We don't buy feed from the feed store for them anymore because the price just keep increasing. No food goes to waste in our house! All the extra food goes to the chickens or gets composted to feed our garden. Our chickens also get greens, garden weeds, fruit, and veggies from the garden. We also give our hens free choice of crushed oyster shells. I soak their beans overnight and pressure cook them the next day just like I do for us. This is how we fed them back in the day and they were fine. They look happy and healthy. We still buy dog food for our 2 pups, but, if push comes to shove, they will eat whatever we eat.

    My husband farms and raised cattle. We have extensive family around us that farm and raise livestock as well so we are fortunate to have our own source of meat and grain. The most common response we get from first time direct buyers is that it isn’t the same as what they’re used to getting from the grocery stores. The meat cuts aren’t as big, they have more color and much stronger flavor. It’s crazy how many people are put off by that. We don’t direct sell crops, but I know there is a big difference in quality there as well. I have to remind myself as to the extent of how processed and synthetic the typical American diet is. Most people aren’t familiar with what real, natural food is.

So just a warning if you guys like almonds, almond flour, etc. watch for sales.

    Really good advice. - I don't own a car, only a bicycle. (Dane living in small Denmark). But this means I cannot normally go out of town to local farmers; instead, I only buy organic. Not much meat and poultry, but of good quality which I prepare with lots of seasonal veggies. And I stock up on stuff which is long lasting. Lately, I bought about 30 cans of sardines at a very good price and quality. Plus other long lasting food items, and then I found several TH-cam videos showing different recipies with sardines.

    I’ve done so many of the things you suggest for all of my adult life (over 50 years now), but I have gotten a great deal from your videos, too. I had never ground my own wheat, until I saw a video where you were talking about it, which prompted me to buy over 200 pounds of wheat and a grain mill. My pantry has tripled in the last 3 years, and I have rediscovered my love for canning. I am lucky to live in an area of NW Illinois, where I have been able for most of that time to live near a local butcher. I had a conversation with the owner of the one who is only a few blocks from me, and he tells me that he sources his meat from local farmers, which makes me very happy. (My Dad and my Grandfather were farmers.) It is so easy to order a ¼ or ½ a beef. He even offers monthly bundles. We grow most of our own tomato products, too. There are some things that I don’t (or can’t) produce, but that is ok, too. I am very fortunate to have the abundance that I have, but you have played a big part in making me aware of what is going on with our food supplies, and I thank you for it very much. ❤️

    YES on all accounts of what you are saying!! I moved back to Sweden to be closer to my kids when/if things "go south". Originally from the US but, have lived here, there and everywhere before my kids were born and, after they'd moved out...
    Anyhow, I'd like to push the benefits of animal fats even further... Animal fats and especially lard has so many uses, other than just for food. Making something more resistant to water, boots, jacket, tarps, etc... Greasing moving parts such as hinges, machinery and more. Protecting metal/iron tools and other things outside against rust. There are so many things you can use pig lard for. But yes, food is the main reason I'm stocking up on it.
    However, there are many even us preppers that don't know that solid animal fats such as lard, tallow and other fats that turn solid when at room temperature, including our old bacon grease, is renewable... Or, better said, washed if smelling off, rancid miss colored etc. All you need is a large cooking heavy bottom pan/pot, water and a means to boil your water/fat.
    How to... empty/pour your not so good or nice fat into a pan, add water about 3 times the amount of fat and bring to a boil. No need to stir since the fat will always float on top of the water. Just make sure your pot doesn't boil over... Once you've let your fat/water boil for about 5 minutes, which also melts the fat , turn off the heat and let it fully cool down. I usually do this during the winter if needed, since I can put the whole pot out on my back porch and the cold temperature out there will cool down the water/fat faster and also make the "fat lid" harder.
    When your fat layer has solidified, remove the whole "cake" from your pot, turn it over and scrape off whatever residue if any, that hasn't sunk to the bottom of the water/pot. Pour out the water and wash the pot, put your solid fat cake back in the pot and fill with clean water again, repeat above procedure until fat is nice, white and sweet smelling once again. I do this also with the cans of bacon grease I tend to collect/save. I take that brownish smelly gunk and boil the daylights out of it, until it's pure, white and doesn't even smell like bacon anymore...
    Once you've determined that your fat is clean, put only the fat cake into a clean pot and slowly bring it to a simmer. Not boil... Keep an eye on it and you will see tiny bubbles rising from the bottom of the pot. That is the water bubbling off/out of the washed fat. Make sure to only simmer and watch. Stirrig is ok but, I prefer just watching it so not to disturb the bubbles and thinking it's done. Once it has stopped bubbling, remove the pan from the heat right away and pour into clean, dry and hot caning jar/container. Put on lid, ring and let sit. If using a caning jar/lid/ring, it will seal due to it's hot. Also known as open kettle caning. If you accidentally scorch your fat while simmering/boiling out the water, repeat the "washing" again until clean.
    Sorry this is so long but, this is how I do it...

      I was fortunate enough to get to know a sweet elderly couple when I was younger and I loved going over for visits, and helping them out whenever I could. At the same time, literally soaking up as much "old knowledge" as I possibly could. They soon realized that I was very interested in learning how things were done way back when and, made a point of teaching me as much as they could, before they passed on.
      They also gave me quite a few of their old worn out books with detailed instructions on how to do so many things. Things that we as "modern" beings haven't even thought of something one could do, or even the use of many of the handcrafted items. Same with the howtos, when you can't just go to a store and buy what you need.
      I am so happy that my 3 now adult children have followed in the footsteps of their at times "crazy" mother and that my wonderful daughter in-law comes out here to the homestead for a few days, at least twice a month to both learn and help me out with whatever I need help with. She calls it a "break" from her hubby (my son😁) and my 1 yr. old granddaughter but, I know that she really wants to learn as much as she can while I'm still around...
      I'm the one out here that is "prepping" for the whole family. Kids, partners, an old male friend of mine and one grand-baby. Kids and my friend pitch in when they can or, give money if they don't have time to come out to help, so that I can buy the things and food items, that we'll most likely need "in the future".
      My homestead is where my kids grew up and they all still have their bedrooms upstairs on the second floor. It still looks exactly like when they flew the coop. I just shut the door to the stairs leading up to the second floor, since I don't need that much space for myself, my dog and cats. Plus, it's just more to clean and more expensive to heat during the winter... 😉

    Maybe it's different for you folks in the States, but here in Canada the MAJOR factor in our food prices going up is the cost of fuel. Farmers need fuel for their equipment. You need fuel for the trucks to pick up the ripe produce and deliver it to factories for processing, or to centres for cleaning and packaging. Then the goods have to be delivered by trucks to the stores and outlets where we can purchase the food. And with our smaller population, many of our remote towns and villages pay a hefty price for goods. Luckily most of them, like you, can produce a lot of their own fresh food and will can it themselves, but our growing season is a lot shorter, so we have to rely of imports which are trucked in. And with so many being out of work for so long, times are very tough already. And we are facing more tax increases on our gas and oil usage. Most of our politicians have never had to shop for food to feed their families, and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, but the road to hell is filled with good intentions. You cannot save the world by starving people.

    Coffee, I'm learning to appreciate instant. It lasts forever especially if you buy it in a glass jar or a mylar bag. Some brands actually sell it in mylar bags here in the UK. I think the trick to instant is to try a few different brands until you find one that you actually like. (My favorites are Taster Choice and Nescafe)
    Beef is pretty much out of our budget here in England. We can afford ground beef about once a week, but unless it's on sale/offer or I find it in the reduced/clearance section, we don't buy actual cuts of beef. It doesn't help that a lot the beef here is aged which makes it even more expensive. I'm keeping my eyes out, I'd love to get some beef into jars to put in my pantry.

      @@angelal6700 In the UK, restaurant supply stores are not open to the public. The tax that is paid on what is bought there is different, so you actually need to be able to show that you are running a food based business to shop there. Even Costco is limited to certain trades (types of businesses) so costco is out too.
      It doesn’t really matter, I just try and do my best with what is available.

    My local Ingles combined 3 aisles worth of shelves into a single side of one aisle. Crazy.

    We switched to the Great Value brand of coffee years ago. It ain’t the greatest of coffees but it’s cost effective and does the trick. I usually only have coffee in the morning and my husband takes some to work but that’s it.

    While the government has been gaslighting us regarding the actual inflation rate, some of us have been quietly stocking up and learning new skills to make the best of our food produced at home. I bought wheat last year before the spike -$30 for 50#. Checked the price and it's now $48 for 50#. Gonna keep going up, in my opinion.

    Thank you for getting into the details of what pantry building is, our best hedge against inflation. We have never experienced the cost of groceries dropping hugely in price. Buy extra on sale, and stocking up gives you the best savings for your future food budget. I don't go down the rabbit holes, I just listen to farming news, and I pay attention to the extremes in climate change and realize that food can't optimally grow there. So when they can't grow bumper crops, costs go up, so plan. I am in the Manistee area and my tomato crop was horrible, too hot, not enough rain, and despite all of my best efforts and irrigation I only got 1/10 of what would be a normal harvest for the 84 plants. But I put up every bit of it. Last years harvest was bumper crop, and I still enjoying those products. I have bought from local farmers, although one scolded me for wanting to buy a total of 12 dozen ears of corn. So we just went to the next farm down the road, who was happy to sell me as much as I wanted, and smiled and thanked me. I will always support my local fellow growers, because we all need to help each other, always.

    Lisa, I just bought chuck roasts for $4.99/pound and I canned it. I've been waiting for a more reasonable price at my local grocery store. I got 20 pints of beef out of it plus I put a small roast in the crock pot. I'm in Wisconsin. The normal sale price was $3.99/pound. I'm thankful that I could get it for a dollar more per pound.

    Your channel has been sooooo helpful! I’m a mom of two under two and have started my prepper pantry. It is my obligation as a mother to ensure that my family is fed every single day, and by starting my prepper pantry my heart is at ease. Thank you for your insight, it truly helps! ❤️❤️

    Another idea about meat...I buy a lot of clearance meat. If I don't use it that day, I freeze it. Thank you for the updates and ideas!❤
