    Your husband supports a large family including a homestead on 1 income. He's able to do that because you put in the work to save money where you can! Your family values you being home more than extra money !

      I think you and your family is very wealthy. Wealthy because you’re , wise, frugal, loving, kind, generous and very good parents who love their family and friends. We could learn a lot from you Janice. Do not listen to any negative comments. You all have been doing fine before CZcams. We love you

      Janice you wouldn’t believe the prices we pay for food in Western Australia. A punnet of blueberries $9 same with strawberries. Grapes for that size bag $10
      Peaches about $15 to $20 per kilo. It’s so much more. Amazing. I love seeing your great deals 🥰

    Ignorance is running rampant in this country. You are extremely rich!!! Rich is having the intelligence to provide for your family by planning ahead and not caving for the convenience of feeding them fast food! Your hard work and love for your family, and faith in God makes you a success because you do what you love. That is why so many people love your channel! Best wishes and many blessings for your weekend. ❤😊

    Janice please don’t listen to unloving and people that say ignorant things.
    The prices in Canada went up terribly some months ago!
    Cherries 🍒 are $14 for a couple of pounds.
    Small pack of blueberries 🫐 are $5.99!
    Five pounds of potatoes 🥔 are $6-7!
    Butter 🧈 is $7-8 a pound.
    I’m 70 years old and it’s very hard to buy food.
    Your family is beautiful, I enjoy every single one of your videos.
    I love all of you. Thank you for all you do, you’re the best Janice. Bless you all 🙏🏻

    Idea: A frugal lifestyle choice is not the same as poor. Simple is wealthy. Wise is wealthy. God and faith focused is healthy and rich. Being well off is a matter of knowing what is important. I think your family is one of the healthiest and most wealthy I have had the pleasure of “knowing”. God bless!

    Life is not about money. Yes, we need to pay our bills, however, we do not need the expensive phones, all the cable channels, etc. I lived in Missouri for 21 years and know the area you live in, it is a wonderful place to raise children. I have now moved to North Dakota to be with my family. My grandkids LOVE to play outside in the dirt, and with my dogs, a simple life, they do not need to be entertained all the time. I am like you all.. older car, no payments, only the necessary. I am content and at peace. You are a wonderful family, your children are loved and well taken care of. I raised 5 children and was on a very strict budget. You, Shawn and the children are blessed with your life. Peace be with you.

  • @belindaalderson9341

    Choosing to live within your means does not mean one is poor, just wise. You have a better quality of food than others that spend way more. Homegrown and fresh foods are your staples.
    You also have a better quality of life by choosing a simpler life style than others.
    My husband and I choose to live debt free. Others may see us as poor but we do not. I work hard to keep our budget tight so we can save for retirement and such. There is so much freedom in a simpler life. A life that values things that are not materialistic.
    Love watching your family.

You have so much more than most. You are so smart to shop the way that you do, and I love watching. I've made a game of shopping now....how much can I save.....and put towards something else. I love you guys.

  • @chandraachtenberg3123
    @chandraachtenberg3123 Před 2 měsíci +20

    I have never looked at your videos and thought you lived in poverty. I have always felt you are rich in all areas that are truly important. You have a beautiful children who are so loving, well behaved and a a true joy to your life and your viewers. Not eating expensive processed foods does not make you poor it makes you rich in health and Mrs. Smiths apple pie can’t hold a candle to Sarah’s I am sure. Everyone drives a used car even if they buy it new and have a huge payment every month because once you drive it off the lot it’s used period. It’s more important you drive a dependable vehicle than a flashy status symbol. Your lifestyle brings you such joy and allows you to spend your time with your family and your children are learning so many important skills and are truly learning coping and thinking skills. They are independent thinkers with problem solving skills and creativity that other children no longer have. Clothes are the same as cars why pay full price for status when you can pay a fraction for nice functional attire that is clean, well kept, and lasts long enough you get your moneys worth from it. I imagine people who think you are poor are working themselves to death and missing out on their families to make another dollar to spend and then buying expensive convenience items because they do not have time to cook from scratch. Your treasure is in heaven and you are pouring your time, money, and energy into those things you can take with you to heaven, your family. No one is going to show up at the gates of heaven with a uhaul dragging their earthly possessions with them but you can teach your children and be in heaven together so your circle is unbroken. Priorities are different in each family and they each make a choice about what makes them feel good about their life. But why gain the world and lose your own soul. No when I watch your family I see riches beyond compare and blessings poured out that your cup can not contain. I think it is why your viewers want to bless your family with gifts and treats. I don’t think you are lacking I send the occasional gift just because I love your family they bring me so much joy and make me happy. Money is not the root of happiness, relationships are. Be joyous and be blessed your family is amazing.

    You sound a lot better! It amazes me that people think we are on a budget because we don’t have money! I’ve been on a budget all my life, and still live that way. I was able to retire early and helped both my sons get through graduate school. Now it’s fun to visit my sons and take them to Costco and feel their freezers. Not because they need help, mom just loves to spoil them. I go to my sons in Chicago at least 4 times a year for about 10 days. Being frugal has provided me to be living my dream!

    WOW, that's a lot of savings! I am always amazed at how much you save! The people asking if you are poor are the same people who can't get by on much more money than your family lives on because they squander their money! Your groceries are chocked full of fruits and vegetables and mostly non processed foods and most of your meals are homecooked from scratch. Your family eats better than 75% of american households. The people asking if you are poor could learn a lot from you!!! I grew up poor and we never had all those fruits and vegetables and all the meat you serve your family everyday. My mother used to buy a gallon of milk, split it in two and use powdered milk to make 2 gallons of milk. If my mother brought home a package of cookies, It Was A Big Day for us!! I think you are wealthier than most, you know the value of a dollar, you are mostly debt free, you eat well and most of all you have a great family! What more can you ask for?!!

    Oh Janice please ignore any negative comments, it always says more about the person that posts than you and your wonderful family. I earlier watched the video that your children filmed when you were under the weather. How appreciative and grateful they all genuinely sounded with the natural beauty that they are surrounded by, the life that you provide. Making the best food buys and managing your budget is a perfect example to your children and they certainly don't go without. With much love from Gail UK

    I always freeze berries, peppers, and onions if I don’t use them before they go bad. Great for cooking, smoothies and baking. I also make mashed potatoes before my potatoes go bad. They freeze well in freezer bags and provide a quick side dish. Like I said before, leftover cooked chicken and beef can be frozen for casseroles and pot pies. I try not to waste anything. It doesn’t matter how much money we make, we all need to be good stewards of our treasures.

    Once again, your ability to budget for your family on one income is due to your outstanding ability to research everything you need before you shop and saving right down to the penny! I’m proud of you, Janice and the continued hardwork and dedication you give your husband and family by shopping deals and making meals from scratch from the boughten deals. Wish my son could see this but he’s on a fishing weekend vacation with his buddy from grade school. Alec is the Godfather to Rodney’s 2nd son, Asher. I should share the pictures of him holding a 6 week old baby but he’d be super upset. Love each one of your family members, Janice as y’all brighten up my day! With all the pieces of my heart ❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏📿📿📿

    I just got home from shopping the sales and am always excited to see the saved amount on the receipt. We are empty nesters and even though we don’t have to shop the sales, it is ingrained in me from when the children were home. My husband and I chose to have me leave my teaching career so that my children would be raised by us. Being home with them was a great blessing. 🥰

    Oh Janice, You and Shawn do a wonderful job taking care of your family. ❤ Please don’t feel pressure to explain yourself. Those of us who love you and always watch your videos would never even think to question how you raise your children and what it may cost. There will always be people who will question and comment negatively. It is simply not their concern. I, personally love how excited you get every week saving money! It makes me happy too. My husband and I are retired and we both worked very hard so that we could enjoy our Senior years! To this day I am a frugal shopper, I use Ibotta and clip coupons. I have learned even more ways of saving watching your videos. Because of all that we had a 2 week vacay in Scotland last year! We have plans for more!! Do what works for you and your family! We love you, sorry for writing a book 😂.

  • @marybrown6756
    @marybrown6756 Před 2 měsíci +1

    Janice, you handled that beautifully. I have to tell you that my back went up at the beginning of the video. I had to tell myself to slow down and wait to hear what you had to say. It doesn’t matter what your income is. You’re either responsible or you’re not. Have a very strict budget when I know I’m going to have a treat, I plan. My sister on the other hand buys anything that strikes her fancy. She doesn’t tell me how to do mine, I don’t tell her how to do hers. We’re both satisfied. But, since I’ve started budgeting for groceries, I am amazed at the amount of money that I can put in to having a trip, or a luxury that I normally wouldn’t be able to afford pre-budgeting. My sister always asked me how I do it. I watch what I spend on groceries and toiletries and paper products. Then I get to go out of the country ever so often.

    Ms. Janice, you do not owe that person an explanation! You are a good Steward of what the Lord has blessed you with. No, you are not poor! You have a beautiful family, wonderful friends, full bellies and a roof over your head. Maybe they are calling attention to you because they feel guilty because they are not being wise with what the Lord has blessed them with. I enjoy your channel very much and you are so sweet.

    Thankyou Janice I wish so many more would watch and learn from your videos. We have just replaced our 2009 Captiva (that was written off, no one hurt) with a 2010 Captiva for $4800, it had low mileage and is a 7seater diesel, I'm so thrilled with it. We grow most of our veg and fruit and buy specials on groceries and meat, mostly thrifted clothing and are very comfortable living on a pension.

    Good video, Janice! Good explanation too. We all have things that we prefer to put more money toward and things that aren't as important to us. We're like you guys on the vehicles. I could care less what it looks like as long as it's clean and runs, gets me from point A to point B. Clothing and household knick knacks are another thing I have very little interest in. Just more to dust. Our main priority is our house and land, keeping them maintained. They're paid for, but still have to maintain them. And our animals. I won't have an animal unless I can afford it's vet care, yearly vaccinations, food, flea and tick meds, etc. Thanks for another great video! Cheri

    It seems inappropriate that anyone would even ask if you were poor. You have a beautiful property with animals, a lovely home, and healthy food. You do a really great job researching and getting the best deals on your groceries and keeping to a budget which means you're wise with how you spend your money. People can learn a lot from you about managing a home. Sadly, too many people today don't know how to do that and get into unnecessary debt. Not only that, but you guys radiate the joy of the Lord. You have such a sweet, loving family and are raising really great kids that always seem so happy. I truly admire you and the way you're living your life.❤

    Precious Janice, so thrilled that you are feeling better ❤ How about freezing the turkey pepperoni, that way you can prolong its good by date, and get more for the reduced price ❤ If I was part of your family, I would feel RICH BEYOND IMAGINATION!!! Rich is when you have all you need, and some of your wants too, as you say ❤Poverty is a different kettle of fish, as we Brits say, and it entails going to bed hungry and having to wear worn hand-me-downs (maybe with a few holes in them) ❤I am certain that no one in your family goes hungry, and you are always dressed well ❤You are NOT poor, you are just WELL MANAGED, and you have my permission you use that saying, should anyone bring up that subject again ❤ ❤ ❤ LOVE, HUGS, PEACE, GOD BLESS & STAY SAFE ❤ ❤ ❤

    Janice, I am so proud of you. You do great with your grocery’s budget and how you take care of your family. Some of the people who criticize you need to take a lesson from you. My husband and I raised 6 children and feed them by using coupons and grocery sales. Keep up the good work.

    Dear sweet Janice! Sometimes others questions can needle us a bit, simply because we're human. But you beautiful, precious soul you and your family are richer then most could ever comprehend. Shawn, you and y'alls babies and the education both book, faith and hard work has made y'all rich, so rich I tear up. Cause my friend these riches are building your mansion across Jordan! Love y'all and as always Gods Blessings sent, Marilyn.

    Hi Janis, Sorry I couldn't comment on the children's "animal tour" so I am doing it here.
    My dear, you would never have to make another video except your monthly shopping and Your fan chats with Shawn. You have a Natural in the family. DAVID!!! His so natural and spot on when behind the camera...his demeanor, his use of language, his total ease is truly a gift. You could feed him the information and let him deliver it. I was beyond impressed with his poise and delivery. I hope you let him to to regular highschool when the time comes. He needs to be in Plays, Debate, Speech contests that I so hope leads to a career for him. He's got all the God given tools. Great Job David. A former Theater and Speech person.

    I never thought you and your family were poor. I always just thought you and the family had priorities to achieve your goals on a single income. Which I respect. There is nothing wrong with not wasting money on a fancy vehicle, I don't. I choose to invest the money into my property. I was always taught to get ahead. You must make scarfice. Obviously, I don't have all of those beautiful children, but the principle still applies. People who waste money without a second thought are only getting into debt, not ahead. Keep doing what you are doing. It's the best way to achieve. Your children will do the same, as I was raised similarly and I do the same. I'm across the other side of the world in Australia.

    Oh my! I have been following your family for a while now, and never once did I think of you as poor! In my opinion, EVERYONE would be living this way. Ok, not everyone wants a large family and a homestead, but what I mean is that everyone should be trying to stretch their money as far as possible and pursuing the best value to achieve their goals. Good job momma!

    This is how i have looked at things in the past probably 10 years. It's not about how much you make it's what you do with your money that makes the difference. Your family is not going to go hungry if something happened and you couldn't go to the grocery store for a month or so. I have been building a stockpile for a few years and it's a great felling to know you have food stocked in the event something happens and you cant do your regular shopping trip you have the food at home so you don't have to worry or stress about it you have food security that is a priority for your family and im sure many other families out there. Im also sure your budget has changed over the years to fit your family's needs. Just keep doing you and they can think whatever they want.
