    💸💰💸For those of you that might still want to shop this week, this is the small list I compiled from the weekly sale ads:
    10 Box
    sirloin tip roast - $3.66 + 10% = $4.026 per pound
    80% ground beef - $2.98 + 10% = $3.278 per pound
    slicing tomatoes - $0.98 + 10% = $1.078 per pound
    Aldi
    mandarins - 3 lbs. for $2.99
    strawberries - 1 lb. for $1.99
    Kroger
    2x the Fuel Points on Friday, Saturday, & Sunday with digital coupon

    I would like to give a big thank you to Sam , for all his hard work and incredible attitude. I personally think he is a true gentleman and a rare treasure. Your parents should be extremely proud. I just love the way he looks at his mother with such love. I cannot say enough about him and my admiration of him. ❤

    Another thought- I grew up in the 1950’s in a semi rural setting living a simple life. We did not have instant access to news. We had an old dial phone on a party line with multiple families that was used by parents, not kids. The only advertisement we saw was the Sears Christmas catalogue. Our old TV got 2 channels with limited hours of being on the air and very limited programs. Etc Etc. Our simple life routines made for a stable ,self reliant , routine away from world chaos or agendas of pressure to be anything that the world creates. I think our modern world needs less input , slower speed and a simpler more human focus. I love today’s video! Peace be with you!

    Janice, I felt like you wanted to say so much more. ..... you bought groceries for the future this week. I loved this video. I would not have thought to do this. I prepare ahead but wouldn't thought about trees. Great idea!!!! That sweet Abigail. She's so precious.

    Janice, don't worry about what other people think. I personally keep a "26 week pantry" meaning I can feed my family for 26 weeks without a grocery store. Yes, we would have less fresh fruit and produce, but when times come up that I can't grocery shop (like now, I've had covid sine Jan 4th), my family still has homecooked meals. You do you and keep being the happy person you are ❤

    Sweet Janice, despite computer systems all over the U.S. hacked by an alleged cyber attack by the Chinese, you video came across nice and clear for me. You know how much seeing you radiant smile along with your super happy girl, Abigail, who I wish I could do something special just for her and that million dollar smile a lot like yours! Went to get bilateral knee injections today as both knees stricken badly with severe arthritis and I was a bit chagrined by my doctor saying I’m going too long between treatments, therefore, my next injections will be in 16 weeks. Still no inside running water, but friends from Church remain a source of graciousness and kindness in allowing us to visit twice a week for showers. I can’t shower until Monday per doctor’s instructions and take it easy. I’m beginning to major in easy. Anyway, I continue to pray for my favorite Missouri family for loving me and praying for me as God has been generous to me through your demonstration of grace under pressure. With all the pieces of my heart ❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏🙏😘😉😉😉

    I love your videos & how you explain everything! I'm 73 & grew up where I didn't know we were poor until I grew up & saw what other people had...BUT we always had a hot breakfast before school, snack after school & big supper....my single mom worked & my grandmother lived with us & she ALWAYS made sure her babies were well fed! We may not have had the most glamorous meals but they were simple, delicious & filing. As I grew up I always remembered how frugal she was & just only knew that way of surviving. I was divorced young with 2 kids in the 70's & sometimes only had $25/week for groceries, but I knew how to shop frugally & my kids always had a good meal.....Now retired, I have a VERY limited income & grocery budget, BUT I always shop sales & if it's a good one I bought as many extra as $$ would allow. I've always got a full pantry & freezer! My daughter laughs at my pantry sometimes, but I tell her if I couldn't get to store for whatever reason I'll be just fine for several weeks or months & maybe only have to buy bread or fresh produce....but if I couldn't get fresh fruits/veggies I have canned......it can be done if people would only learn how to shop!! Keep up the good work!

    Janice, it’s just my hubby and myself in our home, my 23 year old grandson works hard and has bought his own home at the age of 21 ( he is single ) the other day he was over, he stops by almost everyday to visit, he said grandma do you have any extra food I can have I said of course go look in the freezer in the washroom he yelled out. This is like going to Costco‘s. I had to laugh so I understand about stocking up and being prepared if anybody I know, need some thing are more than welcome to come over and get what they need out of the pantry or the freezers. We have been there hard times we know.

I’m thankful I’m able to always have stocks of foods for them when needed. Makes me happy as Janice says 😂

    When I was a single working mum, I just shopped the sales and the discount items. My friends were amazed at how I could feed everyone for so less. But my kids knew if they ate it all it was gone until it went on sale again. I tried to estimate how much would be consumed before it cycled back on sale again. You do a great juggling act of providing lovely meals and food experiences for your family. I had wonderful, beautiful, patient children who understood food savings meant more budget for fun. Everyone has different priorities, that’s the beauty of the world, everyone is different and unique. ❤

    You can never be to prepared! Most people don’t realize that their local stores maybe have 2-3 days worth of food. What happens if there is a flood or trucking issue that prevents the re-supply of the store? In my area we had a major flood to where my village was land locked for over a week. No getting “into town” for groceries. And we had no power for over a week. We got creative. Folks moved grills into a central location on main st. Food that needed used because of lack of refrigeration was cooked. Folks brought any thing that needed used up. Cops and fire dept went around to get folks to come eat and or share resources. We already saw trucking and supply chain crippled during the plague a few years ago. Never have I seen stores that were literally wiped clean of food. Even though I’m a prepper I vowed right then to have more supplies on hand. I easily have a year’s worth of housegood supplies - soap, laundry, cleaning etc. I have a good 6 months of pet supplies. And probably 6-9 months of food. And some long term food item basics. Folks don’t realize how much supplies and food a family of 9 can go thru plus all the farm animals. I’m all about buying items at the best price to stock my pantry/freezers then plan meals from my pantry/freezers. It’s the best way to beat inflation and save $. I say keep doing what you are doing. And make sure the nay-sayers know they are not welcome at my house when crap hits the fan and they weren’t prepared. 😳😃❤️

    There is nothing wrong with being prepared. I live in a big city and about 15 years ago our power grid went down. We were without power, water, and cell phones for about three days. The grocery stores and gas stations were closed, this taught me to be prepared and have a little extra on hand at all times. I understand completely the message you were sending and actually this message ties into your grocery hauls perfectly. Both you and Shawn are teaching us to be prepared and that it doesn't take a lot of money to do it. THANK YOU!!!!!

    Janice, you have got to be one of the sweetest, most understanding, and humble people I have ever encountered on TH-cam. I am a 68 year old widow and I shop the way you do, but on a much smaller scale of course. What a lot of people don't understand is the fact that shopping this way is more economical. I don't have the same stores you do here in North Carolina, but we do have a lot of discount stores and weekly sales at our independent grocers. Love your videos,and sweetie, you just keep on being you. ❤

My husband & I are close to 70 so it's a little too late for us but if we were young and just starting a family now, I'd love to do homesteading. We do try to stock up ahead on things we need in order to be prepared in case of sickness or any kind of unforeseen circumstances. I enjoy seeing how you live with your precious family!

    I sometimes wonder about people and the fact that they just don't get it and this includes some of my family members. These nay sayers or folks who criticize those who have a well stocked pantry are the one's that are gonna be hollering when they have a LCE (life changing event) and can't feed their families. There are only 2 of us in my house and we have a very well stocked pantry which includes garden produce and store bought items. It took me a long time to build this and I have been thankful to have it during stressful life events. I can happily say now I only shop sales and yes there are weeks that I buy nothing from the stores. So you do you and what is best for your family and honestly ignore the negative nellies. They honestly have no clue and apparently have no desire to successfully prepare and protect their families.

    I enjoyed the video. I think it shows that every day, you can do something to make your situation stronger, even if you don't always get to the grocery store. I appreciate that you are telling people not to be fearful. We need to help each other keep their worry at bay.
    My local grocery store three doors down from my house is going to be shut down 5 weeks from now. Today, I sent in an order for some things from a warehouse sale they are having, which one of the staff brought over free of charge. (I gave him a tip, though.) Most of the items I bought were items I didn't manage to get in the fall, when I was doing a winter stock-up. Today, they were mostly large packets at about 50% off.
    Love to see your children's smiles, and hear your kitty purr, and your goat practice butting his head! Everyone is thriving there.

    Janice and family, I LOVE watching your videos! I love visiting your channel for encouraging, uplifting and helpful content. It's such an absolute joy to see people raising such kind, loving, patient, intelligent, thoughtful, and productive children who truly care for others. How refreshing and needed in these times! Speaking of that, your encouraging message today is just what the doctor ordered! I think the world is going to get more confusing, and if we don't have solid footing and direction, it will be easy to become more lost and affected by world happenings and the "spin" that gets put on them. Thank you for the encouragement and wonderful message! God bless and keep you!

    I read that some pharmacies closed in US. People couldn’t get their prescriptions. Very scary if you are dependent on a drug. Loved to see your cat. We had to have one our 18 year old cats put to sleep last week😢..heartbreaking. Her sister is howling.. it’s very sad. Good to see your video. Interesting. Thanks.x

    Going from one household to three separate ones our stockpile is being divided and making it so none of the three households need to spend much time getting set up. So thankful to be able to do that. Now I have to learn to buy and plan for alot less people but I know if I see a sale I'll still be picking up for the others too. Old habits die hard lol.

    I truly think the people whom do comment about "why do you get that many ..." really 1) never truly struggled 2 ) never went to store and shelves empty of needed items 3) wear rose colored glasses 4) probably don't have a family per say maybe just another in their household 5) don't cook from scratch 6) think the government will rescue them in a time of crisis .7) haven't noticed the quality of items ( food) has sharply declined 8) hasn't noticed and or cared about the nasty chemicals in food ( oats , cheerios I am calling you out now !) 9) if i think of any more i will come back edit this .. when times were going to be bad for us growing up mom and dad had big gardens and stocked up .. (weather , inflation etc )

    We grew up in the 50s too, in a northern suburb of Mpls. We had a party line too and 4 TV channels. They went off the air at midnight - no around the clock TV. But we had "Leave it to Beaver!" Mom cooked mostly from scratch all the time & we got our beef from the grandparent's farm in Wisc. And garden produce and pizza places sprung up in the 60s - wow! We never felt we were missing anything.

    Most of my groceries are sale items too Janice. I often buy 4-6 of each item and, like you, put the rest in storage. I don't begin to have what you have but there are only 2 of us. Our son and his family live close by so I somewhat stock up for them too. Living in Northern Iowa I can just sit back and wait for a predicted storm without having to rush to the store for milk, bread, etc. etc. Enjoyed this video so much. You will really be stocked up with fruit in a few years.

    I am so impressed with your food stock, it must have taken you hours and hours of hard work. to prep and organise. I guess when you have a large family you have to have a good stock in cases just like this. I really like watching your family homestead. In the UK we don't have food sale adds like you guy's do, we are lucky if you get a buy one get one free! What was it like during covid for shopping with your family? Have a good week take care .

    I have been storing extra food for years. It is just being normal and for those who buy only what they want to use for the week, they are wasting money 😢 You do what you want to with your family. If it's 5 bags of oranges, then it's 5 bags of oranges. I have also taught my children to do the same. And we will all go through a tough time and we know that we will be able to feed our family .❤

    The pantry principle has been a method for grocery shopping for many, many years and you are doing a great job with this method. It can save a lot of money and anyone who questions it doesn’t understand the benefits. Thank you for the work you put into finding the best deals each week and passing that information along to us.

    You are doing the absolute right thing by having a good stock pile! We never know when we might need that food. My parents always had a freezer full and a pantry also. I am by myself now and keep a well stocked pantry. My entire family laughs at me but I don't care. I can live off of it for 2-3 months if need be. The trick is rotating the food, which Janet does so well!
