I've always wanted to be able to go to the grocery store and get what I needed without having to worry about spending too much. I don't think it is going to happen since I'm 71! Loved this video.
I’m sure this is far more time consuming for you to do this format thank you for taking us along with your process!
I really appreciate your work 🙂
We are a family of one income with 6 people so utilizing everything is important to us as well!
I hope it was helpful 💕
I love your videos. You and your family seem like such a genuine Christian family. Thank you for sharing these glimpses into your life. Y’all the best!!!
Feeding a large family is a bit of a job!! I love your system!! I love shopping at Costco and there is only me now. I miss those days, Julie!! ❤️🥰
Split pea soup is a good hearty soup if you add ham, potatoes, carrots and celery.
Mmm yummy! I haven’t made that in a long time
Your wood pantry looks just like my Cowboy made for me ❤ love it excellent ❤
I liked the video! was cool to see in your store room and pantry stuff.
Homemade dehydrated banana chips, yum. I don't like the brittle texture of store-bought ones. I think they might fry them in oil first? Homemade is better. That's great your kids are into dehydrating.
Yes the nice thing about the dehydrator is that you can stop it at any time. So you can take your banana chips out softer if you like them that way. We’ve been having a lot of fun making things!
This was EXTREMELY helpful! Everything that you showed us will work for any family. Thank you so much!! ❤️
I’m so glad to hear that!
That well house is huge! I’ve never seen one that is larger than hobbit house size 😂
Your doing a fantastic job Julie!!. I do similar list it helps stay focus especially when I get in the store lol
Haha that was hilarious with the curtains.. I love my boys helping with shopping helps save me a lot of lifting too.
my boys are going through a stage of taking leftovers for their lunches and spaghetti is their favorite and sometimes chilli. It's a nice break from sandwiches for a bit.
My kids say warmed up leftover spaghetti tastes better than fresh 😆
Love your videos! God bless!
I like to add a can of baked beans into my chili too! We have leftovers for lunch lots of times! Haha bring the muscle but then you have to feed them! I would have gotten them each a hotdog from the food court cheap snack! Hope they could all agree on something!
They’re fun to shop with 😆 Kept me laughing on the way home too
OMG, i found the most delicious sourdough recipe that is perfect for sammiches. Multiple names, it's called sourdough cloud bread, or sourdough milk bread or shokupan. It's so easy to make too.
We just did a pantry refreshing haul at Aldi's. About the only store we need to shop at now. Our garden gave us so many vegetables this year and we still have quite a bit of meat in the freezer. Hunting season now so we're filling it up with venison now. 😁
Hahahaha, i tend to grocery shop when I'm hungry too. So bad. 😂🤣😂🤣
I’ll look that up! Thanks!
I get avacado oil in 1 gallon jugs on Amazon and just refill my glass bottle in the pantry with it. I do the same thing with honey. 1 gallon jugs from a local bee keeper and refill my little squeeze bottles. I tried, and don't advise a 5 gallon bucket of honey from Azure. Even with a pour spout lid, 60 lbs of honey is too heavy to slowly pour through funnels. Maybe I could do it if I separated the 5 gallons between 2 buckets to begin with. I love bulk buying and having food storage on hand.
I didn’t even know Azure sold 5 gallon buckets of honey! Wow! I really need to go through their site again.
Last year we had bought 5 gallon buckets of honey from a local guy. They had a spout drilled in at the bottom of the bucket so all you had to do was lift a little cover and the honey would pour out that way. It worked really well, although by the time we got to the second half of the bucket the honey was starting to crystallize and wouldn’t go through the spout. So we ended up having to scrape it out with a spoon! 😆 It was still delicious!
Love how you include the children when you dehydrate foods. It’s probably controlled, fun chaos.
There are so many great ways to meal plan that take into account different styles of thinking 😂. When I meal planned, a popular week was chili week. Usually 3 nights that week.
Main chili night with veg (corn) & cornbread
Chili & Macaroni with veg (salad)
Chili on hotdogs with buns & chips or Chili with corn chips and cheese, you pick night
Great during a busy week.
That is a great idea, although I'm not sure i would wanna live in this house after we've ate chili all week. Hahahahaha
Pew.
@@minnamae25 haha, so true. However, the more you eat beans, the more your system gets acclimated and less gas is produced. By the time day 3 rolled around, not many beans left, if any. If you soak the beans 12hrs, and are sure they are well cooked, that removes most of the gas causing phytochemicals. We ate a lot of beans - bean dip, chili, hummus, bean soup, etc.
@@kenyonbissett3512 thank you. This is very good to know. How's the heartburn? Lol
@@minnamae25 ? 😃no heartburn
That’s a fun idea!
Great video!
Blessings to all of your beautiful family 🙏🙏🙏💕💕
Love your system! I’m one person now and still shop Costco. ♥️♥️♥️
When you were talking about your soup making abilities I thought you would say you have souper power 😀 yes I know corny
Haha 😄
thank you for sharing all your food pantry! We eat all organic. Looks like you do too! So glad you as a family focus Upward each day! He is the most important Person in our lives as well! We also dehydrate our nuts. Might try your applesauce idea!
Thanks Donna! 💗
Grew up with 4 brothers & 1 sister. From experience I know it is impossible to fill teenage boys legs when feeding them!!!👍👍
LOL so true!!
I actually miss the days when I would shop for my big family.
I used an organizational system in my pantry shopped 1 time per month as well. I went Sam's Club and our local butcher for most everything. Our local butcher has really good deals on meat and other items at wholesale price.
I couponed when i had all my kiddos at home. I saved a lot of $ .
I miss all mine being home but i honestly don't know how some are able to afford a big family in these days. Prices are crazy!!
This type of video is always so helpful. I learn something everytime. Thank you for taking the time and effort to share!
I’m so glad to hear that! 🥰
I make beef jerky with 93/7 ground beef -it is wonderful!!! We also like pineapple and apples
That’s good to know!! Dried pineapple also sounds delicious. We haven’t tried that one yet!
My husband makes jerky out of deer every year. You can make jerky from any meat. Be sure you get your spice/marinade mix right, I suppose you can Google different recipes. Everyone loves it.
This is good to know. I’ve never made jerky before. Someone else said they even make it from ground beef.
I’m getting inspired to give it a try!!
@@jasonandjulie my family tried the ground meat recipes,and it goes through what looks like a caulk gun, but they weren’t impressed. Who knows, your family may like it. Experiment 😊
It's amazing, lately been thinking about getting a dehydrator. London Sunshine sounds cozy. Thanks for the great info Julie!!!
We’re having so much fun with it! 😁
👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Once you butcher again, I'd love to know what kinds of meals you make with different cuts. My husband has butchered 3 times now and some cuts I'm not sure what to do with and always feel bad trying something and it being a fail with such good quality meat! Don't want to waste any🤣 we have a larger family like yours! Thank you for sharing and making these videos!
You should try the azure standard Mayo, it blows primal out of the water imo
Nice! I’ve never looked into their Mayo. I used to just make my own but my handheld food processing stick thing broke and it was the only way I was getting good Mayo easily.
What are wheat berries
Used to make wheat flour by grinding. You can cook as is to make a cereal, though that is not as common anymore.
It’s what flour is made from 🙂
Julie you are so organized ! I love the video.😄🥶❤👍
Thanks!
Do you save more at Costco vs Aldi outside of paper products? I’ve never seen savings (and we live an hour away from the closest Costco) when I compare. A friend grabs a case of PTs and TP from Sam’s for me once in a while and it’s the same price as Walmart per roll. And then the membership fee too. Not arguing just talking shop 😁
I’ve actually pondered that thought too. But a lot of it for me is convenience. Aldi’s products are just so small that I have to buy a ton a little packages to feed the family, where one bag of something from Costco lasts us several meals. Thankfully I’ve only had to pay the membership fee once… when we signed up we did the executive level which means you get cash back at the end of the year. We buy enough that it’s always paid for the next year‘s membership plus some.
The best deals for me are found at restaurant depot, but it’s an hour away and although the products are cheap they don’t have all the things I need so I rarely make the trip over there.
