My wife mentioned a January pantry challenge. Don’t go to the grocery store, eat only from the pantry in January. I said no. This is not the time to deplete the pantry. That’s crazy. Sounds like a set up for failure before the gardens resume production.
CORRECT! Do NOT deplete ANYTHING! Using what needs to be used is one thing but purposeful use is a very bad decision right now.
My pantry challenge this month is how much can I ADD to the pantry.
We're steady adding to our pantry.
Congratulations!!
@@MariinSC agreed 👍🏻
Hubby & I are paying our home off in 2024!!! Woohoo, so excited!!!!
Stick with it! The sooner the better. Leaned into it and lived like a poor person. Paid off 8 years early. Ohh... the freedom your going to feel. Congratulations!
Congrats!
Good job!! That’s amazing!! 😊
Congratulations! That will be a huge weight lifted off your shoulders
Excited for you. That is a great feeling.😊
Patara that's all I asked for this year for Christmas was food store gift cards. The best gift ever!!! AMEN
Just opened up an envelope from Synchrony Bank- take a guess! Increasing interest on their Lowes credit cards beginning 2/23/24 to 31.99%. We will be paying off our remaining balance of $666.54 by the end of January & not charging anymore.
Those babies arw just to precious 😊
Think about a way to heat those beans if there is no power or propane or butane. A rocket stove or an open grill cooking over firewood. Think it through now versus later
Happy New Year. Love ya! God speed.
2024 My year of risk reduction. Don't get to far out over my skiis. Worry more about return of money than the return on money. Slow down, breathe. When icy, put on stretchy, rubber shoe covers with spikes, gri pper gloves for stair rails, slow down. Make every penny count. Just " say, NO. "
Truck registration $126
Amazon prime $139
Eenie, meenie, minds mo ...
You and your family are so AMAZING. You inspire me to be better. Widowed with no children only 2 German Shepherds and 6 chickens. Big gardens and I’m excited to start planning this years gardens. Have 8 quarts of Beef Stew in canner right now. Always preparing. God bless you all and be blessed this new 2024!
Nothing more comforting than our dogs they do so much for us.
I pray it's not too late! I started today, Patara! I exercised. (I even did it outside and, boy, it was chilly! Woot! Woot!) I used self-control in regard to my eating. No junk! Thank you for the encouragement!
That's awesooooome!!! Way to go, it's never too late to start.
Never to late
You can do it.
@@mayhembeading3737 Thank you! I'm feeling better and more in control already!
I exercised today too, 15 minutes, but I did It nonetheless.....no cookies or other trash, YAY!
This morning I made a list of 10 things I intend on accomplishing this year. Those 10 things are my New Year's Resolutions....action orientated. We also have a cat named Sister, and every morning she walks with my husband around the pasture. This morning I took a walk later in the day and found 2 sets of footprints in the snow - one of my husband's and one for Sister. It made me smile.
😻❤️😻
Our cat Tommy patrols and protects our chickens!
How gorgeous
The last 2 weeks has proven to me that pantry and other supplies are invaluable. It has also impressed me how fast you go through things if needed. My husband and i were both sick and we relied on our stockpile. Now to restock!
We have had the same experience here. Taking away a few things learned for sure.
Saved us when we were sick
Me too. Finally felt human today!
me too.
Glad you both are better. Blessings 🙏
Hi parara❤ Im very limited to what I can do as in prepping but I’m doing what I can. However, I had decided a couple months back that I was going to read as much of my Bible as I can. Im on a Bible reading challenge:) I bought a used MacArthur study Bible for $20 and started at the beginning and I’m in Numbers right now. This has really helped my mind to not go crazy. I’m trusting in Jesus because he’s the one in control. Thank you Patara ❤
Patera, when my son was born my pediatrician told me take that child out everyday for 20min snow rain sleet and sunshine. I did and my children were never sick. Of course this was 62 yrs. ago.
Agree 100%
Mine did the same:)
Ditto. ❤
That was a Doctor Spock directive 🙂🙂🙂
@imaprepper1866, my Darling Daughter was born in 1984. Because I grew up in the 1950s/60s, outdoors a the time, I raised my daughter the same way. VERY, VERY Seldom did she ever get sick!!
I also raised her on healthy fresh fruits and vegetables, whatever was in season. Today, at age 39, she maintains our style of healthy eating for her and her husband. We all seldom ever get sick. The fresh air and healthy food really works!!
Our daughter moved from Washington state to South Dakota in August…they wanted us to follow.
I really fought the Lord over this, as we love our Church. But His response was, “Step out of the boat”.
So we’re leaving California and heading to South Dakota this week.
We are in Washington state and looking at Kentucky. Its a mess here!
I was born in Deadwood and spent my early years in Spearfish! Such a beautiful state, especially the Black Hills! Spearfish Canyon in the fall is breathtaking! Best wishes to you all and Happy New Year😎🇺🇸
Prayers for safe travels
@@TerriPs91where in Kentucky it's my home state and I love it, I think y'all would too.
@@TerriPs91 I live in Thurston county Washington and was just looking at a Map of Kentucky and Tennessee yesterday! Were contemplating a move as well!
Paying off the vehicle next month, then paying off a credit card. During this month canning up meats in the freezer. I took on a part time job to boost our income and to be productive. Happy New Year to all and keep on truckin 😁
And Biden says employment is up. No, Joe. People need two jobs just to make ends meet. Best to you. Hang in there. I've been beaten down, but I'll never be broken. You do the same. God bless.
Yay Kenneth 🥳🥳🥳
Those lil wagging tails and floppy ears are sooo cute!
You are such a beautiful soul. I truly enjoy watching and supporting your channel. Happy New Year to you and your family.
A new year...work on your relationship with the Lord...hold tight to Him💜💜💜
Amen ❤
Thank you for posting this evening! Always glad to see your smiling face.😊
I was going to do the no spend pantry challenge, but our pantry is a working pantry and for me it would. be foolish not to keep my stock at the levels that work for us. I will continue to replace what I use. My goal is to keep a pen and paper list each morning of what I want to accomplish for the day. If I don't get it all done -that's okay too. I like old fashioned handwritten lists.
My friend just asked me my goals for 2024. I said canning more, bigger garden, more meat chickens, learning to milk my goats etc 😂 he looked at me like I was crazy. He said he meant if I was going to travel or buy something new. I said yes traveling to the amish store and buying more storage containers 😂😂
Love your priorities.
@azgardenlover370 I have a large family to prepare for so I'm not taking any chances
A great thing to start this year is read your Bible every single day. ❤
I'll never forget the 5 can challenge...you are well known for this. It was foundational to many.
Happy New Year everyone! Been sick for 2 weeks, but feeling much better for 1/1/24. I made hoppin John and home grown collards. No cornbread as I had a massive turkey in the oven. I’ll be canning it and making bone broth this week.
Glad your feeling better!
So glad you are better.🙏
50 cents a can of anything is a total score!
I am definitely doing the 10 can challenge! Our Savealot has canned green beans, corn, peas, and mixed veggies on sale starting tomorrow for .59 each. I'm getting a case of each. They also have sliced potatoes for .79 can. Thanks, Patara. Love all your babies. So sorry about the one that didnt make it 😢
Patera, your videos have taught me so much and your goat babies give me pure joy every time I see them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and animals with us. I am excited to know that you will be a part of my 2024🙏❤️
I haven’t told many about this but know you will all share my excitement. I answered an add on marketplace for free cans of freeze dried food. I had no idea what it was but only 20 minutes from my house so I went for it. It was an apartment clean/trash out. The service maids posted the add. I picked up 96 #10 cans of freeze dried foods expiring in 2051. For free! Keep your eyes open. Take advantage of any opportunities you can.
SCORE!!!
Wow that's like 3500.00 dollars maybe more
Eureka!!!
I totally agree. Depleting the pantry intentionally right now makes absolutely no sense to me. We eat primarily from our pantry all of the time, but also continue to put stuff in there all of the time. I'm not taking a month or two off of stocking.
I completely agree with you on the ‘pantry challenge’….now’s the time to inventory and fill the holes….not deplete….thanks for another great video Patara…..Happy New Year to you and your family….
Hey you dress like I do ‼️ Also a nightgown can be tucked down inside your sweat pants as well. Country life is grand ♥️
😂 it’s funny but true ✋👍👍🤓
That's what I call "hard working" fashion.
Did this for yyears!!! Pj's under insulated coveralls, thick socks, toboggan, and muk boots!!! Farm Fashionista
I have children older than you. You bring me a lot of joy , laughter & help. Caned beans are good. Some people don’t know how long they take to cook. Canned beans, a little hamburger,tomato sauce & spices can make a good pot of chili. Saves energy or if you’re cooking outside on something. Please advise people to buy briquettes if they have bbq’s. In no power times is how we cooked our meat. Have see 45 below & snow above our windows. Turkey was cooked on our Webber. Happy New Year. ❤️
Agree. I have a steel barrel full of of it.
Patara, today on New Year’s Day I got up and canned 8 pts of chicken, 5 pts of pork loin, 5 qts. Of apples. Tomorrow is 11 pounds of sweet potatoes that I bought for29 cents a pound. Still stocking. Have a blessed day.
Great 👍👍
Those tasks are labors of love that will secure you.
I am in Indiana right now with my husband while he is working for a month and it’s like a Patara tour for me! I’m a New Englander and I found my way to my first Kroger! Saw my first can of Beenie Weenies!!! 🤩
Delicious! Get the Hickory smoked ones! I just wish the cans were bigger!
Welcome to Indiana!!😊
Welcome! Central IN here!
Welcome to Indiana
Welcome to Indiana. I love it here.❤
Our home will be paid off in a few months..
Good evening 😊
I'm picking out my seeds as I'm listening to this. Tomorrow is my trip to Dollar tree for soap shampoo/conditioner and toothpaste paste 😊
Happy New YearMs.Patera 🎉
Wishing America Gods protection from the evil in Washington DC.
Check those pantries or cabinets to see what needs eaten and replenished👍🏻
I went to Sam's Club & bought 4 cases of beans, vegetables & fruit. Also 4 cases of water. I love shopping there.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, DEAR PATERA!
PEACE BE WITH YOU!
I just turned 74, and I have planned a no junk January, and a get in shape January. Today I walked a mile. Tomorrow I am joining the local gym to do chair aerobics and start with light weight lifting. I will walk to and from the gym for a total of 1 mile. I plan to cut out all junk food, and will eat eggs, cheese, meats, veggies and fruits - sometimes I will have milk and I will probably have some whole grain bread once in a while. This is a new phase of my "prepping" - I am prepping my body for whatever 2024 holds. Thank you, Patara, for all the encouragement - you are very easy to relate to, and you make a lot of sense. God bless you in 2024!!
Depression can be offset by sunshine and movement.
we call it a honey do list or jar. we went for some preps and I looked at our silver coins that my father in law gave us for gifts through the years. I pray for all 473,000 people here and know we can help each other through the hard times .I had one of my credit cards at 29.9% interest loan go to a 0% for 21 months credit card. It will be paid off in 6 months. Also my a.c. with 0% interest at Lowes just got paid off!!! and onto the next credit card. I know this isn't a prep but I got some Christmas chocolates at 75% off for a nice Valentine jar and also took m&m's and vacuum sealed them for next year.
I did the same after Halloween.
I read the comments thoroughly. It is so nice to find that I am not alone in my perceptions. Thank you, folks.
You are the reason I made a pantry. Took a closet and turned it into a pantry. I love watching your videos! 2024 will be interesting, people need to prepare but most of all the need to know Jesus as their personal savior!! Keep shining your light Patara!!
I turned a closet into a pantry, too!
I will be canning sweet potatoes, carrots and applesauce this week and next. Got my seeds in the mail and planning the garden. Taking on 2024!
You go girl! Same here 💪🏻✋
I already got most of my seeds...I started early. I have the last few coming in this week. I'm starting my pepper seeds indoors in February. I have two Tabasco and two mild Jalapenos I'm overwintering inside. They are looking good thus far. I can hardly wait to start gardening!
Thank you! 3 of our home of 4 are sick with the newest NJ1. It ain't fun, but we're getting through it with no Vs! I have been getting the 3 of us up & moving daily. It does help. The only 1 who is healthy is our 9yr old. Kids just don't seem to get this!! Our teenager is less sick than my husband and I also. God Bless!!!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Happy New Year to your whole family. Your goat babies kiss you like my puppy kisses me.She doesn't stop! I decided this year I am taking just one day at a time.
Happy New Year Patara, Tennessee had a big win today Go Vols!! I love the real world I can't get with that fake world. God bless all if us in 2024 even the folks that don't want it.
The week before Christmas our Walmart had evaporated milk for 50 cents and pumpkin puree for $1.00. These were not in the clearance, just an end cap. Now they are regular price. Keep your eyes open for deals!
Happy new year all!
I canned 12 pints of baby carrots today 7 qts chicken vegetable soup, 7 qts red new potatos and have the snapbeans rinsed for tomorrow and hope to finish up4 qts taco meat and 4 qts chilli meat.
Good job!
Way to go!!!!
Busy, busy! 👍
Wahoo you go !!
Awesome! Do you peel your potatoes before canning?
We will see major supply chain disruptions again with shipping being choked at the Panama Canal and ships forced to go around Africa because of the Middle East conflict.
Right now at Wal-Mart they have Keystone canned beef and chicken for 5.89 a can, it is usely 6* 7 or a small can. Its good for 7 years.
I got my 6 cans Keystone meats from Walmart pickup today. Expiration 11/28.
I love keystone beef. Makes great beef manhattans!
Is that for the big cans or small ?
YES The chicken is 4.87.@@letagaymagnuson8102
Most dog shelters are in need and overflowing, so blankets food, is needed and time if possible to show them some love or take them for a walk or outing🐶🧡
Absolutely!!! I am a huge animal lover and advocate!!!!🐾❤️🐾
Definitely get up and move. Im four years in on my cancer diagnosis and one dr about 18mths ago was mortified that i go, go, go.
I swear its why i am still here. Rest when required short term but go go go!
Agree!!!!🥰😘🐾
Most people don't realize you have to move the lungs to get better. If you sit or lay down while your sick all day long, the sickness sits as well. Move those lungs= move the sickness out. Cold weather helps open the lungs up even if it's just 5 min.
Happy New Patara🎉 Had a lovely evening lastnight with my husband and 2 labs. Went to bed at 9:30pm😂 We haven't watched the ball/peach drop in years! Today I cooked black eye peas with collard greens and cornbread. Looking forward to your videos this new year❤
Oh my goodness Patara where did you get your blue beanie at? I absolutely love it.
Yes where can we all get one??
For safety I exercise inside. Squats, modified jumping jacks, toe touches, and resistance bands they work. I've been at it for 7 months now but small steps make a difference. I'm older and couldn't do one small squat when I started.
Love it. Canning cabbage with carrots and taters as I listen to you ❤
Happy New Year from Washington state. I paid off my student loan in 2023. I can prep a little more now. 🙂😀
Good for you! You took responsibility for yourself and it makes you a better person. Well done! All the best for you!
Happy New Year from Whidbey Island😎🇺🇸
@@lindamyers953Happy New Year from SW Washington.
That’s great! 🥳🥳🥳 Happy for you! You get an A+ !!
Also, Hunts pasta sauce was markdown to 63¢. Bought a case- 12/2025 exp. Multiple uses.
I am of a similar mind when it comes to doing a pantry challenge right now. Yes, I am going to focus on using up things that have been in my freezer way too long, but I am also going to keep on looking for bargains every week to keep my pantry well stocked. It doesn’t save a person money to not buy something at 50% off today that they’ll pay full price for in three months when they need it.
Yesterday I wanted to get outside and DO something. I have always been a hard worker and being physically weaker now is so annoying. I'm not here complaining just wanted to share and maybe encourage someone else out there like me to keep plugging along. God loves you and so do I!
I have advanced osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease and 5 ruptured discs along with both shoulders and knees needing surgery, but I hauled my butt out there and worked about 3 hours. I paid for it with extreme pain last night, but God willing I'll get out there a little again today I hope (if hubby doesn't sit on me to keep me inside, lol).
2024 has already started out with an earthquake here in Maryland. Not a big one, but it works all up. I thought to myself, well, here we go!
Food City had heads of cabbage for 24 cents a pound. My brother bought 100lbs!!! They freeze dry it and eat it like popcorn! What a good snack! Healthy too! I love good canned goods sales. I’m shocked every time I go grocery shopping. It’s depressing. I always think of you when I find good deals! Blessings upon blessings!~Angie
cabbage 99 cents a pound and boneless chicken thighs $3.49 at my store in new england today! Susan
I freeze dried sliced beets using them as chips. 😋
another challenge: Use 1 can, buy 2. It's simple to remember and easy
Happy New Year Patara. I'm baking your no-knead bread right now. Going to try to keep out of the stores (aka: petri dish) this month but not doing any kind of empty-the-pantry challenge. If I find any canned good sales I'll tuck away a few more. I am working on using up things from the freezer and my oldest canned goods. We mostly live off our pantry all year long anyway.
My husband is a retired trucker and his friend who is still driving says there's not a lot of loads out there
I usually find some cheap case goods at Sams Club- I cleaned out my dresser drawers and my wall untit drawers and filled them with can goods because all my closets and kitchen shelves are full. I also vacuum sealed lots of dried beans, lentils, rice, orzo, pasta and sugar and filled up storage tubs with them. I started four years ago and am so glad I did.
First thing on Tuesday morning, January 2nd, I am going back on my diet that I have half-heartedly done for the last year. I lost my sister December 29, 2022 and it just left an empty void. I have tried to avoid the wrong foods, but it didn't work. I lost 33 pounds up to last December and have gained 4 pounds. Tomorrow I will exercise. Thank you Patara. Happy New Years.
Praying with and for you. I lost my younger sister this year on July 30th. 10 weeks from date of dx. Grief sends us reeling! Grace and determination are our new way of life. 💔🙏
@@vickimontgomery5271 Thank you. I know that both of our sisters are happy without any pain and in their Father's arms. They say that time heals all wounds,
Today I cleaned out my cabinets where I keep my can goods, I knew I used a lot of items, so I knew I needed to restock out of my prep stock. So now I know what I need to restock. Great idea to always rotate.
I have started a list of goals and ways to improve myself. First, I am going to read my Bible every day. I have neglected that in 2023. I am going to put my health as a priority and tighten up the budget and really work on stocking up pantry and working on our well water filtration! Thank you for all you do. You have inspired me to do so many things!!
Happy New Year everyone, Time to get Right with Jesus. Keep Praying, Planning, and Prepping like no tomorrow 🙏 🙌
We got a freeze dryer last year. We have done over 90 batches. When you hit 70 batches it pays for its self. When rotating if we haven't eaten the foid yet we will freeze dry use by 2023 canned food now. Canned soup cream if chicken, cream of mushroom, chicken noodle whatever needs to be saved so we don't waste.
Paid off 5 bills and working on pantry rotation and downsizing a house full items.
Happy New Year Patara ❤ 🎉 and All the community. 🎉❤🎉 I pray God will comfort and bless all to know what to do and when to do it. Things are getting crazier by the day. God bless America 🇺🇸 🙏❤
Prayers to you and for you as well
Happy new year everyone!! I'm running errands tomorrow so I'll be on the lookout for some bargains. If I find any deals, I'll add to the preps.
I canned 14 quarts of potatoes last night .still have more to do . I had a good crop last year but they are starting to sprout.
Our well pump went out, and we've been without water for 6 days. Thank God we have home canned soups, chili etc. So less cooking and cleaning but we are still eating nutritious food. Also thankful for the rain barrels. All the animals have what they need and there's enough water to flush the toilets.
Patara I would love to hear more of your recipes for dinners that use pantry staples, cooking with beans, canned veggies, etc!
The other day I went to Sam's, I was so hungry for a steak. I found 3 sirloin for $40.00!! Oh my, that was expensive! They were thick steaks over an inch thick. I bought them, took them home, and sliced them to 3/4 inch. I got 6 and broke down the price. Each steak cost me $6.66, and vacuum sealed them, I then put them in the freezer. Win win!!
I also did my pantry inventory as well. Looking good. Thank you Patera!
1-1-2024 I pot up 20 quarts of potatoes. 40 pints of 4 different types of beans. Beans cost me around 30 cents per pint and they are full.
YES to commercially canned stuff at great prices!!!! I've pretty much sworn off of most grocery store stuff other than getting fresh milk or a big chunk of cheese... I see most grocery aisles as nutritional wastelands, filled with boxed things containing a load of GMO garbage plus God-knows-what in terms of bug-based ingredients. I recently learned that most pigs have received mRNA injections beginning about 2019 so I'm not buying any more of that to can. We have a GREAT chicken producer here in NC that I buy from (120 lbs last March!), and all beef that I buy from here on out will be from local producers who adhere to clean practices. I buy frozen veggies to dehydrate, and I do still trust most canned veggies to a point. I know neither is "cleanly" produced, but I also know that most nefarious things won't survive the commercial canning process. Thank GOD I have lots of home-canned meats and a load of dehydrated veggies!!!! (I truly dislike most canned veggies, but dehydration is the bomb.) But commercially canned beans? I'm ALL OVER that one, will stock up on those in a heartbeat!
Oh - I would have added grocery store produce to the "okay for now" list, EXCEPT that I went into a local store (Food Lion, Roxboro NC) a few days ago to find ROTTING pears on display for sale! I don't remember the price - wouldn't have bought any for more than 20 cents a pound anyhow (for pear butter) & they were priced at close to $2. Yeah, I'll buy taters, carrots, & some other hardy stuff, but only until I can get into the garden in a few months.
We got our flex cards so we went to Walmart and bought all of the OTC meds we could. We were very happy to add to our stock. I also went through all my meds and have a new list for next mth.
Got my first seed catalog on Saturday and I’m so excited to sit down and plan out my garden for this year
Can't wait for mine to arrive. In Wisconsin, so have a few more months.😢
@@georgemarcouxjr6192 Hi! I’m in southeastern Wisconsin! I usually get about four or five of them. Gurney’s arrived first. Maybe yours will start coming this week 🤞
I got 11qts & 1½pts of beef stock done today & tomorrow ive got a big pork loin to can as Mississippi Pork Roast for easy meals. As Patera says, "Never Stop Preparing!"
We were at Walmart and they had Jiffy cornbread mix. They must have had too many but they were on sale for 10 cents. My husband asked how many I wanted. I walked to the shelf and picked up a whole box and threw it in the cart. 19 boxes for $1.90! Dates were end of 2024.
Surprising what you can get done in PJ’s.
My baby boy now 20, the last of 3 is moving out as I’m here at work. My heart is hurting 😢. I try to tell him and the middle son both to be prepared.. they don’t want to listen. My husband don’t mind me stocking our pantry, but he still won’t shut off lights he’s not using to help cut down on bills. I’m tired of working 50 plus hours a week, but I need to, to make ends meet and pay a little more on my debts.. but I’m sharing your videos and warning as best as I can Patara. I wish I lived next to you, I’d love to get all of those kisses from the baby goats ❤
Eat more SOUP people !!! Sunday chicken or turkey is gotten meat off of it then Cook that BABY IN BIG POT of water it will be great for you 2 lbs of carrots peeled and sliced on up with a spud or 2 in that pot with celery that will be GRAND for you all to drink that liquid !!! Take Half of it to thicken on up for pot pie or Chinese stir fry over rice !!! Sounds great it is for you !!! Get some cornmeal also for yourself a bag of flour what you can afford !!! I canned 100 pints of beef for myself !!! Got chicken canned also got about 50 pints done with 30 turkey pints done also !!! Come on people canning is great !!!
Is anyone having a problem with Ball canning jars purchased this past year. I had 3 quarts and 1 half gallon jar stored on back porch they were empty. I am wondering if they are safe for canning. They cracked for no reason except freezing Temps.
Definitely need to reassess my bean situation as we have gone through a lot of our older supplies. Canned are convenient, especially for just 2 people, but I do like to soak my dry beans overnight. Walmart has been low on the bagged dry beans lately. I tell everyone i know to stock up on beans for the shelf life and protein value.
We went through one of our deep freezers tonight to find the fat from a 1/2 pig we got last year... rendering a lot of lard tomorrow, along with processing almost a bushel of tomatoes that had gotten buried in there and we found. This year we have a gut feeling needs to be about taking care of fixing things around the house and paying off debt.
We paid off the last of our small credit card debt. Received a letter property tax here in Appalachia is going up 23% this year 😡
We have a small home on a small lot that we turned into a small "homestead" (literally) chickens and garden engulf the entire backyard with fruit trees planted in the front.
We're concentrating on any structural maintenance on the house this year.
Pray up and keep on keeping on 😊
Making my list right now. Thanks for kicking my butt into gear. Love you 😘
So very true about moving . When I got Covid I could not walk so I crawled until I could walk. We are meant for motion .
Love the hat❤😂 Absolutely,if you get the"vid" move.Its imperative.Keep your lungs working💯 So so important.Your right Patara.Something I saw online was pickled sausages.Omgoodness.Huge jars.Would last a long time.I bought five dozen eggs after Thanksgiving for 7.50now,17.00I was like,what the heck.Also,new laws took affect in California today.That pig farmers have to provide so much more room per pig.Liberals have to have happy frolicking pigs.They fail to understand that food is what makes pigs happy.So get ready for pork to go up and California pig farmers to go bankrupt.Insanity.There is no surrounding farmland to buy,China already bought it.
Im with you on the pantry challenge. About the time I’ve used up my preps we’d have an ice storm or my garden wouldn’t grow or my apple tree would die! I’d rather have my food waiting for me on the shelf, just in case
HAPPY NEW YEARS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND EVERYONE IN THE CHAT GOD BLESS AND STAY SAFE ❤🙏
Evening. Always makes me smile. They are so dang cute
Markdown section at Kroger had green beans and sweet corn non-gmo for 56¢. Always looking!
Love the clearance area at my Kroger. Very hit or miss, but can find some great deals! Always checking!!!
