Thanks for watching! Love, Mary
,
I don’t usually comment, but today…I am compelled to. Thank you Mary for all your wisdom and helpful advice. Because of your channel-this is what I was able to do. I found a frozen 16# Turkey at a discount store for $13…..I used a coupon and bought it for $10.20!
I made 4 quarts of canned Turkey, 7 Quarts of Turkey Bone broth….and enough shredded Turkey for 12 Other meal servings ( 6 lunch/6 dinners). We had BBQ “pulled Turkey” Sandwiches, Tacos and salads). My grocery bill for 1 week ( to serve 2 adults) was $40.00! ( just a week ago! During this horrible inflation!). Thank you so much! ♥️♥️♥️
( oh…and fed the cat some too😂)
Hi Jenny, wow! Fantastic!❤️🤗❤️
Good for you !!!!
If everyone would take note, learn and do the work needed NO ONE would be going hungry !
Years ago when I was married and my kids were young we were dirt poor and I did the kinds of things you just did. I would (roughly) figure out how much each plate cost or how many meals I could make out of something, I would tell my kids and would get an eye roll. Now as adults when I hear them mention how many meals they get from something compared to eating out, I give them a little smirk…..I again get an eye roll when they realize they are like me !!! Heehee
Blessings
wow that's awesome 👌
lol don't forget the cat😺
I am so proud - with your help I now have 6-8 months of food stored for my family (which is hubby and then FOUR college student/yound adults) That has been alot of work and money but feel so much better and am so thankful I found you! You helped me feel competent and confident to do this. THANK YOU :)
Oh Kim, I am SO happy to hear this!! So glad you are here!! Love, Mary
Good job, Kim! And Keep Going! 💪🏻🙏🏻✝️
Prepped for 6 adults is awesome!
I am a living example of you CAN teach an old dog new tricks! I am 70 years old and am learning so much from you! I sure wish I had had someone like you early in my marriage when our children were young and our money was scarce! (Still is, many times!) Thank you for teaching us ♥️
This is really good management advice! Not fear based, just good home management skills that should be in play no matter what the economic situation. Thank you Mary, for providing this excellent channel which is a treasure of valuable information.
Oh Mary! I am so happy you feel this is good home management! I really do want to try and teach that. Love, Mary
I just came from one of those fear mongering channels. When I clicked onto it I thought it would offer valuable NEW information. Instead it rehash ongoing OLD conflicts to sell the world war 3 we are all going to die in a war with China, click bait.
Seeing this video in my queue was like seeing the sun coming out on a rainy day.
You are so sensible, sane, and helpful. I’m grateful for you and my clique of homesteaders like Jess from Roots and Refuge, Becky from Acre Homestead. And then there is time and money management people…
I wish I could have been exposed to people like you as a child. You validate the fact that I have the ability and RIGHT to control my own actions in reaction to all the things I can’t. And to make things easier for myself.
I like the idea of having food stored in an ORGANIZED matter even when there isn’t impending global strife.
You are definitely apart of ‘my tribe’.
I appreciate you. Just listening to you makes me feel calmer.
Thank you for being you.
😍🥰😘
She is just wonderful…in every way!
Because of you, I was able to send my oldest son back to college with a huge food supply. His college town is a food desert and he is always short on cash. I stocked up during sales and paid attention to prices, so I was able to give him some inexpensive, but high quality foods. He was so appreciative to be able to shop in Mom's pantry. ;)
Wow Katherine!! This is wonderful news!! Love, Mary
Just reading the comments makes me cry. I'm not the only one being blessed by Mary's channel. So grateful for all the wonderful wisdom and skills she freely willing to share with us and all the dedication and hard work she does in making excellent content. Thank you Mary, you are worth far more than rubies. May God bless you in abundance. Love from Sydney, Australia. PS: Today's content was one of my favourite and most helpful - no fear but just good old common sense and skills that have been lost in the past few generations of modern convenience and excess. Brilliant work, much appreciated, you are making a difference with your gift
Oh Vickie!! Thank you so much. Glad you’re here!! Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
I’m here because I trust Mary and greatly appreciate her suggestions.
Mary, your our National Treasure. Thank you for teaching so many basic and exceptional lessons that probably have been lost to so many people. Especially in these unexpected times of stress you are a calm delight. Thank you for all you do.
Wow, thank you!
Sadly this is a topic that we should still see on our schools. If it weren’t for those classes, I would not understand the importance of home cooking, food preservation and storing foods as I am today. Those classes set me on the right path. They are so needed today.
How true! I wish they would bring back Home Economics!! Love, Mary
Love the clean out the fridge step, I’ve saved a lot of money by reducing food waste.
I’m so sorry for the negative comments. I know it bothered you and I hate that. Please forget those who are critical and rude. I love your videos and appreciate your advice and information. You are a blessing to me! 💕💕💕
Mary you have helped me tremendously, you have no idea how all your hard work has helped and is helping us all. I now understand things that i never knew and my family will benefit because of you. ❤️💛❤️💛❤️💛❤️ I thank God for you 😁
I laughed...my big pantry is a huge, strange shaped closet built on top of the slant of the basement stairs!! The previous owners Mom was 4ft 11. She had a little tiny 3 step custom ladder that she could climb up into it! Yes..I need to do inventory. Your timing, as always..spot on.
My pantry has almost 8 months worth of food stored back and I've just been using some of it and rotating out old stock. Been preparing for something like this for 8 years. This isn't hoarding food, it is called prepping.
Hi Jack, yes indeed! Love, Mary
With the new madrid fault disaster pending this year, PLEASE make sure your glass jars are on the floor and protected with something, like bubble wrap top/bottom/sides so they don't knock against each other and shatter.
The initial earthquake is expected to be an 8 - 9 on the Richter scale. It will be one big jolt followed by smaller quakes. If you do not shatter proof your glass jars, you may end up with much less than 8 months worth of food.
If wrapped and on shelves, include guard rails so they do not crash on the floor. If possible, make sure the shelves are anchored to the walls so they do not fall over.
Have essentials, including mosquito nets, stored outside the home in the event your home is damaged. A single story structure will stand a better chance of not collapsing than a multi story building.
Have tarps/ tents also stored outside if your home is damaged. And start thinking on how to stay warm during winter.
Roads/bridges will be destroyed, and cities in shambles.
The question:
"Disasters are occurring all along the New Madrid Fault Line but still no break in the hard rock bridge over the little town of New Madrid. What is holding the finale back?..."
Answer - may twenty five, two thousand twenty two:
"As we detailed recently when the Antarctica Plate shifted, there is a domino effect that will bring on the New Madrid finale. As is clear from recent quakes around Hawaii and further tilting of the Philippine Plate, the Pacific is compressing.
The endless quakes on the Pacific side of the Indo-Australian Plate show this compression pressure, as does the recent quake on the Pacific side of the Nazca Plate. When the Antarctica Plate is pushed into the lower Atlantic, a void is created there that allows Africa to shift and drop into that void.
The dropping weight of the Africa Plate forces the rock hook that reaches under Turkey to snap off, and this allows the Africa Plate to slide down along the Dead Sea plate border.
The effect of this Africa Roll will include disasters all along the Mediterranean and a rupture at the Azores, creating a weakness there that will allow the N American Continent to straighten out, correcting the bow that was imposed on its western side.
This triggers the New Madrid finale. This domino effect of Plate Movement is in process, but at some point in the near future, within 2022, will create the New Madrid finale."
-----------------------
June fourth, twenty twenty two:
"Steady action on the two fronts to watch. The Atlantic at Antarctica border and at Iceland is pulling apart, top and bottom.
Africa is rolling and tearing at Gibraltar but most immportant the rock hook that extends from the Africa Plate under Turkey shows signs of getting ready to SNAP.
These quakes on 6/3 and 6/4 are at the point the Zs identified for the break that will extend down to the Red Sea. When it all happens it will be SUDDEN."
@@yesican2012 this is very interesting. Do you have a link to the source? Where can I get more detailed information?
@@mitooquerer
All links automatically deleted here. But sororities use their name. It starts with a z and ends with an a. Add the word talk behind, and you are good to go. Anything you want to know, add zt at the end of your queries. Do not forget to tap on images and videos. Thus, new madrid fault z...talk.
Thanks Mary. No matter what our circumstances you are able to help us improve.
shopping the sales and clearance is a real money saver and I rarely look at anything else. Having a stocked pantry gives me that luxury. I recently opened one of those bricks of coffee with the air removed. Had overlooked it in my pantry. It was dated 2015! I made a pot of coffee with it and it was very fresh tasting. I was so surprised. So don’t just throw something out before giving it the sniff test. I use my older pastas without issue. I have a huge garden so I forced myself to pressure can this year. Now I can dried beans too which is a money saver and the quality is far superior to buying canned beans. I have so much more flexibility in what I put up from my garden and even farmers markets besides using the freezer or water bath canning. Amazing what we can make with basic easy crops of tomatoes, potatoes peppers, onions, berries and rhubarb and herbs!!
We’ve been so spoiled in the US with cheap, abundant food but I think that’s starting to change and we’ll have to learn new (old) tricks. Thanks Mary!
Thank you so much Mary! Our food budget has shrunk considerably with increased gas, meds, and other costs. In fact, we’re eating more vegan because of meat costs. Hope your doing well.
Oh Dana! I know what you mean. Hope this info will be helpful. Love, Mary
Be careful making sure you are getting nutrients needed or you could cause more health issues.
Hey Mary , you always teach or remind me of something , I appreciate you and all you do .. I am Latter Day Saint and from day one have been taught to have a years supply etc .. it sure came in handy like times of Covid , iemployment etc…thanks for all you do xoxo
My maternal grandparents joined the church in 1914 in rural western Louisiana. They had been married for 3 years, and had two small children (ended up with 12...my mom is the 10th of the 12). Clearly...they raised their children through the Great Depression...and were none too popular as members of the Church. My grandfather helped hide missionaries from being tarred and feathered...yes, really!!!
At some point around 1950, their branch president was visiting his branch members to see who was prepared via food storage. My grandfather kept a smokehouse and corn crib, and my grandmother's larder was jam-packed with home canned foods. The 2 acre garden was across the road in front of the house. After he stuck his head in the larder, he came out saying "I guess I don't have to worry about you!"
I was pleased to hear that my 91-year-old mother--who has always had food and supplies on hand--had gone shopping for yet MORE canned goods and other things a few months ago and was filling up a rolling can rack that my dad and uncle built about 1970. My siblings and I have followed in their footsteps...although I'm the only one who knows how to water-bath and pressure-can foods. That's what I get for being the oldest. 😀
Mary, you are a breath of fresh air! I’ve been learning so much from you. Thank you for all you do💗
We went to Costco yesterday and found an 8 lb. Pork loin for 1.99/lb.! I cut it up into about 12 3-4 oz. Chops and 3 1 lb. roasts. We won’t need to buy pork for months!
Hello Lori how are you doing
I never comment on channels, but I come to this channel to hear the kindness that Mary gives.
Oh Mary!! Thank you SO much!! Love, Mary
Hello Mary how are you doing
Great advice!! I'm 63, and started looking at my old grocery recipes years ago. There are items that even the home cooking home maker uses only on occasion.Its easy to forget those items. I also keep a running list, hung some where convenient, like frig or cabinet ,of any item I run low or run out of.
Hi Sweet Mary. I love how you always say, "But don’t worry." Watching your channel is like taking a college class. Lots of tutorials, lectures, printouts, and an easy-to-understand curriculum. You are so loved and valued. Keep up your grace-filled ministry of serving others and honoring God. Way to go Mary.
I so appreciate you taking time to thoroughly explain things, and that you put the timestamps in for us to move to various topics in each video. I also absolutely LOVE that with your thoroughness, you do not ever base this on fear, but rather on good home management.
Just watched your video on making sauerkraut (sp? 🤔🤷🏻♀️) last night and I want to give it a shot! Do you have a video on making your own kombucha? If not, maybe that's another topic you can cover.
Praying for you and your family for continued blessings! Thank you!! 💗💗 You are such a joy to watch!
Hi Carol, thank you so much for all the kind words. Here’s my kombucha video: czcams.com/video/SnOyOo5fNj0/video.html Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
@@MarysNest thank you!
I love your show! I could listen to you talk all day!:) Your voice is so calming and full of so much knowledge and advice. So thankful for the time you spend in making such helpful videos!
Hi sweet Mary!
Just want to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. You are so knowledgeable and so thorough when you teach us. I love your energy and beautiful smile. Also, thank you for always providing us with all this information without charging us. So many others teach you one lesson and then want to charge for the rest. Just love you!
Oh Rosa! Thank you so much for the kind words!! Love, Mary
keeping a good eye on your pantry is a great tip. Today I remembered that I bought some rhubarb - just in time ...
I don't save all my receipts from the shops but I do write the price for all items on my shopping list. It's amazing how often a shop will forget that a certain item was advertised to be on sale ...
It is also a great way to get a good idea on what I pay for food. This summer I was surprised to see that spareribs that I used to buy for 5-6 Euro are now priced at 7-9 Euro for the same amount of ribs 😮
I have been doing this for years and I have been laughed at!
No one is laughing now. I remember there was a tv show a long time ago that highlighted a lad who would be today called a prepper. She also made sure to have plenty of medical supplies on hand. People called her crazy. Once the pandemic hit, no one was calling her crazy anymore! Love, Mary ❤️🤗❤️
Bet they're not laughing now!
I do number #2!! That's what's brought me to CZcams, so concerned that even basics have gone up by not cents but whole dollars at Sam's club. Thanks for your video!
Hello Laurie how are you doing
Hi Sweet Mary! I always put you on when I'm having trouble and you always make me feel better. 🥰 You have very reasonable ideas that a "doable" for many, many people! We love you and wish you and your family the best of good health and happiness! ❤
The advice to add rolled oats as a meal/meat extender is great advice; however, for those who may have never tried this technique, I wanted to add a quick note that some may find helpful to keep in mind. This is not intended to be a criticism nor should in any way be perceived as being a negative commentary. It’s just an FYI kind of thing. Individual experiences and opinions may vary greatly.
My personal experience with using rolled oats as a filler for ground beef (or any rich ground meat - lamb, bison, mullet, deer, etc.):
When I got married (the first time!) and was perfecting my cooking skills, my then-husband preferred his mother’s meatloaf recipe over my own mother’s meatloaf recipe. The main difference between his mother’s meatloaf and my mother’s was the binder that each mom used. My mother-in-law used rolled oats, whereas my mom used crushed saltines or toasted stale bread slices torn into tiny pieces. My mother-in-law added milk to her mixture; my mom used additional tomato sauce. Not a big deal. We are in Texas, but my mother-in-law was originally from Illinois. My mom was born and raised in Texas. Maybe the differences in the two moms’ recipes were simply a matter of geography and region. I don’t know. I never looked into it.
My preference was for my own mother’s meatloaf because that’s what I grew up eating. The same applied to my husband. Being a very young wife back then, I wanted to please my husband, especially in the early years of our marriage. So when I made meatloaf, I would basically cook his mom’s version, except I used more tomato sauce instead of milk (because I just couldn’t stomach that concept at the time). But I did use the oatmeal instead of the crackers or bread.
I could really taste the difference! I never really got used to it, either. I’ve never detected the taste of crackers or bread or bread crumbs in meatloaf using those as binders/fillers, but I could clearly taste the oatmeal in the meatloaf that I made back then. To me, it was a distinctly different flavor, and frankly, it tasted like meatloaf mixed with oatmeal!
I don’t know if I had inadvertently planted a psychosomatic into my mind at that time, and since he and I’ve been divorced for 20 years now, I’ve not made or had “oatloaf” in all those years. I’ve happily enjoyed my own meatloaf recipe that’s somewhat based on my mom’s since then, which does not contain oatmeal or milk.
I offer this much too long story to advise anyone who may be interested to know that while using oatmeal as a meatloaf filler/binder is a healthy, economical, and essentially great idea, some people who may be particularly sensitive to even subtle flavors, or southern people in general, might be able to detect the oatmeal flavor in the cooked meatloaf.
I’ve long used bread crumbs in my meatloaf. I prefer seasoned bread crumbs and I typically use Progressive (Progresso?) Panko Italian Bread Crumbs, or the store brand equivalent. I’ve also made my own seasoned bread crumbs using leftover French baguette, ciabatta or focaccia.
If this helps someone, I’m glad. If it was a waste of my time to write and your time to read, my apologies. 😊
Cheryl, this was so interesting & made me chuckle. Yrs. ago I read the book "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn". The mother, Mary Nolan, early 1900's made a baked loaf from damaged bread that the bakery gave away free at end of week. I made it for the family in hard times. Added egg and whatever was left in the icebox. Baked with catsup on top. We called it Mary Nolan loaf and when it had onions, powder or dried granules in it, smelled sooo good baking, to 3 hungry little people. 💖
@@dustcloudfeatherstone8195 Thank you for your comment! 🙂
I have that book, and have read it several times. I LOVE that book! I certainly remember Mary Nolan’s recipe, and I can certainly appreciate your clever use of her recipe for your own family! That’s a nice memory to have in the memory bank of your life’s journey! 😀
@@Cheryl_in_TX thanx. It was a wonderful book. Then there was a movie. God bless you!
Hello Cheryl how are you doing
Mary, you helped me a lot!!! I read several comments that stated they too were so so impressed and helped with the information you share. I’m in agreement with them too. You are a blessing and a breath of fresh air!
Sometimes transitioning to a traditional kitchen can be a challenge for me because organizing is not my forte 🙂. That being ,said I find your videos inspiring and full of great information. It helps me to not give up on my goal to have a traditional kitchen. Thank you for sharing with us 🙏🙂
I have been watching and using so many of your tips and knowledge in the last year since. I started watching you to help feed economically and nutritiously my 4 kids. Feeding 3 teenage boys and a little one can be a struggle on the budget. I grew up an only child who ate mostly processed foods and fast food. Learning to cook good homecooked food has become a necessity but, turned into a huge joy! I love knowing I have fed my kids, family and sometimes friends something that was economical and really good for them! What a wonderful resource you are! Thank you so much!! In these struggling times, I find it soooooo encouraging to know I have Mary in my back pocket of tools to figure out a way to make things work! Just the other day I stretched 1 lb of meat over 6 people and everyone was full and satisfied! For pennies!
Some of the most economical foods, like pork, turkey, potatoes and oatmeal, either my husband or I cannot eat, so I really have to use the pepper pantry to have enough foods in stock so that we can always buy everything we can eat on sale. Thank you and your followers for all the great tips and encouragement.❤
So many great ideas to help us when feeding ourselves and our families. When you were talking toward the end about using any chicken still on the bones, it reminded me of a ham bone I used just this week. I had frozen the bone left from a ham we had a few months ago. This week I used it in a pot of pinto beans. My favorite way to cook pintos starts in my pressure cooker. I simply put in the unsoaked beans and a few seasonings, added the still frozen ham bone, covered them all with water and pressure cooked them on high for the recommended 22 minutes. Once they were done, I put everything into my slow cooker, added more water, and continued cooking them on low for about 5 hours. It is amazing how much creamier that extra time in the slow cooker makes them. Anyway, back to my ham bone! As I was removing the bone from the beans, meat began falling off of it. I used a fork and began to scrape off the remaining ham. I originally meant to just use the bone as flavoring since I thought I had cut off all of the meat before I froze the bone, but I ended up with almost 2 cups of delicious ham to add to my beans. What a wonderful surprise.
Wow!! That is fantastic!! ❤️🤗❤️
You will never know how much I appreciate all the work you do for us to help us keep within our food budgets. I have learned to shop long term pantry items from sale flyers as well as regular weekly groceries. I used to shop groceries once a month but have started to shop weekly since prices are fluctuating week to week.
Hello Sandra how are you doing
What great, inspirational teaching, Mary! Thank you so much! God bless you and your family!
Mary, you are a plethora of information. Thank you so much. I've followed your advice many times and so enjoy your videos.
You are such a treasure! Your videos are not only extreamly informative, but so encouraging and inspirational. And all in one neat package- Mary's Nest!
Hi Suzanne, Wow, thank you! Love, Mary
@@MarysNest ♥️♥️♥️!
Thank you!
You are unbelievably helpful and kind Mary. Thank you so much, so very much. 💜
Thank you, Mary another wonderful video. You always have very helpful ideas. I have always raised gardens and herb gardens and canning, freezing, fermenting, making sourdough. I have also raised pastures chickens for the last 48 years. I love the way you meet people where they are and understand that not all people have enough in their budget to buy all organic. I myself found leg quarters on sale for $.49 lb and bone in chicken breasts for $1.35 lb. I bought 40lbs of each to pressure can . I myself are on a fixed income due to having cancer and by buying my chicken on sale was much better for my budget than butchering some of my own right now. My parents were in their late teens during the Great Depression and my mother had to deal with food rationing and not to waste and how to stretch food and money. You are doing very important work by teaching these spoiled generations how to stretch their dollar and food because what most don’t understand about how many people were starving because there was very little to be had. The comments toward you have been ugly today and they will have an understanding of how just how hard things are in a very short period of time, especially when stores no longer have that $25.00 chicken on the shelf. Thank you again. I really needed your help on the grains.
Hello Joyce how are you doing
Thanks Mary this is a great video. Lately it seems harder and harder with gas prices on the rise and food prices as well. I find meal planning works great to save money. I also pick up any food thats on sale and a great buy to stock up. I try to make everything from scratch as well. You have taught me a lot Mary . God bless you🌺
Mary, I was wondering if you can give us ideas for meals when it is VERY hot outside & we are trying not to use the a.c. & don't even think of using oven. Very low income families. Thank you so much for not forgetting us.💖
Back in the day, my momma would wait for specials and buy extra for our "stash". 🤣
Hi Tracy, Love that! Love, Mary

My mom used to give us all money and send us into the store to buy whatever were the loss leaders in the sale ad to stock the pantry...but that's been 50 years ago now.
Love Rocky’s sweet face and his gentle nature. Brought me smiles and smiles. ❤️
Mary, in your teachings and sharing your wisdom it is so apparent that you truly want to help people learn and that your beautiful heart truly wants the best for others !!!!
So many people just don’t know these things and with your gentle kind nonjudgmental spirit you are able to teach those willing to learn, much needed survival skills !!!
May our Lord continue to bring blessings upon you !
Thank you Mary- you provide so much information on nutrition as well as budget and pantry supplies. As always, I'm sharing this with my daughters. Also, I have just started my first batch of pineapple scrap vinegar! 🍍🥰
This is so generous of you to share your great ideas and inventory lists with us. Thank you.
Wow! You are preaching! Back in the olde days this is what both my grannies and their friends used to do.
Thank you!! Once again a great video. It was a reminder for me but a great one to share with my grown children and their children!!
Fantastic! So timely and packed full of excellent info! Thank you for putting it all in one place!
Thank you Mary, for sharing all your wisdom and ideas for home management. So many great ideas!
Thank you, Mary! Super-helpful, as always. I am buying cabbage and trying out your homemade sauerkraut for the first time, using the apple method you recommended. I hope I have your magic touch!
Excellent video Sweet Mary! You wrapped up everything in this one. Thanks for challenging us.💖
You are such a blessing! You should write a book!!!! I'm working on these things. Hearing you go over the list makes me feel good-- like I am making progress. I'm going to check out your playlist on storing food. That is something I still need to learn so as not to waste food. I agree with everything you said in this video!!
Dear Mary, thank you so much for your wisdom. These tips are really helpful! Love from Tunisia ❤
I heartily approve of the concept of "multiple streams of food." This is wonderful. I follow this but have never heard it put into words like you did. Having multiple streams of food really reinforces our food security. There are times when the main cook of the house is tired, ill, or unavailable and this extends her (or his) efforts in the kitchen while keeping within the budget.
Always a good idea to have multiple ways of accomplishing the same goal. I am now focusing more on adding more fruit trees and bushes to the garden. I cannot believe how expensive fresh herbs are nowdays, $5.99 for a two inch pot at my local nursery, glad I bought a lot of seed packets.
Hi Michele!! Thanks so much for visiting and the vote of confidence!! Love you, Mary
Never hurts to have extra, just in case!
@@MarysNest l
This is the first video of yours that I've watched. For a video that's almost an hour this was really informative and at no point did it feel like I was watching a video for that long.
Thanks Mary! You’ve got our backs 💕 God bless you
Hi, Mary…I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻❤️ Regarding saving grocery receipts…I have saved them for years. Every year is a new file for that year…everything from food to medicines, etc. Especially prescriptions, or anything medical per their lists…our medical insurance will reimburse up to $1K a year. The reason why I save grocery receipts, our family has gone through a major earthquake here in California…and once, a freezer that went out caused by contract workers replacing our wooden floors, etc. Regarding the loss of our freezer goods…because I had receipts of the contents, we were reimbursed $600 at that time. Our homeowners insurance company will replace these things of loss. A lot of people do not realize this if you are a homeowner or apartment dweller if you have insurance for your house valuables.
Hello Mary- You are amazing! I am so grateful to have found your channel. As a farm wife, I can follow along with your whole foods videos and refresh my memory regarding the skills my grandmother taught me. You helped me round out my cook book library. I have some pantry items put away by your suggestion. Items I hadn't thought of. Thank you for all the dedication, love and hard work you put into your channel ~ Diane
Oh Diane!! Thank you so for the kind words!! Glad you’re here!! Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
Before even watching your video, I LOVED getting the email pop up (since YT notifications don't work) AND having the topic being so relevant.
Hi Alexis, So happy the email arrived. Not sure why YT doesn't send out notifications! ugh!! Love, Mary
Dear Mary, I just wanted to say thank you, for your educational videos and website, and not charging money from the downloads. Especially in times like these. When I can, I will support your work. You are amazing. All my best wishes. Inger from Norway. 🇳🇴
Thank you so much. Yes indeed - I want to share this info with everyone so please share with family and friends. We all need to really help each other now...and always. Love, Mary
Amazing amount of helpful and much needed info. Thank you so much!
You’re an ANGEL, Mary!
Seriously.
Bless Your Heart & Home ~
I’m sure you didn’t realize what a Devine appointment your channel would become when you started it but God knew! Your wisdom and teachers heart are a blessing to so many. Thank you!
Oh my goodness!! What a sweet thing to say!! Thank you!! Love, Mary
I love how you always smile it bring joy to watch despite the inflation topic, God bless you Mary.
Another excellent video. Your detail and presentation is very easy and enjoyable, even those of us that have been preserving for years. What a wonderful teacher. ❤️
Mary, thank you for your knowledge and wisdom! We certainly love your channel. ❤
Love your channel. Thank you for all your hard work putting this together for us.
I appreciate that you share all the details we need to know! Things like keeping grocery receipts and looking at prices over time - that helps us determine what is REALLY happening with grocery prices. Love your printables - forms are so handy for getting info out of my head and down on paper so I'm not trying to remember so much. Bless you for making this valuable video. ~Michele
I found your CZcams channel. Bosch Universal Mixer? Wow. I want one of those now.
Thankyou for sharing that info.
Mary, I tried growing vegetables scraps and it didn’t work to produce any fruit. However, I would like to say, the scraps did produce seeds. I just let the carrots 🥕 grow and grow until it went to seed!! I had tons and tons of seeds!!!!
I purchase a few things each week, and I have been stocking up since 2021, that way I only buy what I run low on, don’t run out, I also buy materials to make, my own foods using your videos, and freeze. Also found videos on depression cooking, to extend food. I’m a diabetic so I stock up on sugar substitutes.
Love your video’s, thank you for sharing..💕
Thank you! I am learning so much.
This video has inspired me to learn and stretch my food even more. It’s challenging as someone who lives in a small apartment and limited storage, but some of your tips are definitely doable for me, and I can’t wait to work on improving my meal prep and grocery shopping habits.
Thank you so much Mary! This is really helpful. We are hopeful things improve in the world soon but preparing for the opposite just to be safe.
Have a blessed weekend.
Hi Rob, yes indeed! Hope you and the family are doing great!! Love to all, Mary🤗
Thank you for all you do Mary!! You are a wonderful teacher and help me from being overwhelmed. I greatly appreciate you!!
Hello Rose Mary how are you doing
THANK YOU MARY, YOU HAVE HELPED US LOTS.
Hi Mary, it was one of the best days of my life when I found your channel! Thank you and God bless you for being you and sharing your knowledge with us.
Oh Kris!! Thank you so much!! Glad you’re here!! Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
I LOVED this video, Mary. I gleaned some wonderful tips from you today, though I consider myself a very thrifty shopper and home cook. Thank you. I think it's especially helpful to those who are just beginning to become more thrifty and less wasteful. It is skills like those you presented today that will be so very helpful and possibly necessary with the way things seem to be headed. I know that this video will be a huge blessing to many. Again, thank you! 💗
Yay I was just thinking about you and awaiting a new video! You did not disappoint! Great video!
Yay! Thank you!
Listening to you makes me think of something I have done for years. I do what’s called a price diary. I only buy when it’s at the absolutely the lowest price I can purchase a product for. This is how I know I’m buying at the best price possible while stocking my pantries. Thanks for your content.
Great tip!!
Thank you Mary! I really enjoy your videos!
Mary I have learned so much from you! My favorite thing is bone broth - I have become a weekly bone broth maker - I just love the process. Most of all, I have such admiration for you - the amount of excellent content is just mind boggling and you provide it with such love. To dedicate all your time and care in teaching us how to become traditional foods cooks is just the work of an angel. Thank you so much🙏🏻. Lucky world that you’re in it❣️
Hi Paula, Thank you so much for the kind words!! I am so happy you are here with me on this traditional foods journey!! Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
Mary, I love your channel! Thanks for all you do!
This is an excellent list, and I think we're on the same wave length. I think the months to come are really going to be interesting, but we're ready.
Hey Mary, I didn't know I had the makings of a traditional foods kitchen, but I'm happy I was well on my way. I have a freeze dryer so that has helped me a great deal. I have learned so much and shared your videos. I've saved on space too. Growing my own herbs from an old carriage wheel has been my latest fun project. Many thanks for you gentle teaching mannner. Grace and peace to you!
Hello Jana how are you doing
One little tidbit I’d like to point out on the picture of the shelf label at Walmart. Pay attention to the number in that bright orange square in the upper right hand corner. That’s the “unit price” ( cost per ounce or cost per pound etc.) and will help you determine the most cost effective brand and size. Most people just look at the larger printed overall cost of the product. When I first found that out years ago it really did change how I shopped.
Great tip❤️🤗❤️
This is true BUT be aware that most stores are inconsistent on how they calculate the unit price. One item might show cost per ounce and a similar item right next to it will be cost per pound. It's best to calculate unit price for yourself.
Really good advice. I like the idea of having multiple streams of food. Thank you.
I might suggest that homesteaders like us have a fifth corner, and that is our root cellar. This is more challenging, as we are constantly trying to manage humidity, temperature, and rotation. Some years are better than others, and we might have to combat vermin, etc. I appreciate your videos and knowledge! I wish I had someone like you to talk to when I first starting homesteading decades ago. Back then it was all word of mouth and scouring the library and bookstore for ancient knowledge long forgotten, and of course Storey's publishing was the main contemporary source. Thank you.
Oh my goodness!! Yes, Storey Publishing - They were the best!! And I agree, if you can have a root cellar… That is fantastic! So glad you’re here! Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
I am sure that gratitude comments are overwhelming yet normal for you. But Mary, your videos got me water bath canning and now I am pressure canning at 60! I want to rely on multiple streams too 😊
Hi Wanda, Wow!! This is fantastic!! Love, Mary🤗❤️🤗
Hello Wanda how are you doing?
What an enormous amount of GREAT advice! Thank you so much. I'm passing these great ideas on to my daughter. You are such a natural born teacher. All excellent!! :)
This is great Mary! We really need to inventory and organize our pantry and this will be so helpful. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
Thank you Mary for sharing.
How is this Long Island friend of mine? I was waiting for this video so so much! Hugs to you all the way from Utah. 🤗
