I'm single but shop joyously in Costco, LOL. Today I found a package of pot roast (2 pieces) for $19. I'm not a big meat eater, but every once in awhile I just want some chicken or beef. It was a good deal. In a few minutes I will divide this meat up into 2-meal portions, vacuum seal and pop 3 in the freezer. I plan to put the 4th piece in the crockpot with onions, potatoes and carrots for my Sunday dinner.
Yummy! A steak of a deal! At $19
I do the same thing
What a precious gift your mother gave you! What a wonderful blessing to have family who care so deeply for you and yours. I have that kind of support too and I understand those tears. Beautiful.
Amen! It moves you when it happens.
I was in tears at the end of the video. What an inspiration your family is to us. I don't feel safe living in this country anymore (at least the lower part) and I would love to work towards moving to Alaska where it seems safer. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and journey with us.
I’m so sorry you feel that way. It’s quite troubling as you are not alone in that feeling. Be safe as you can.
I lost my mom in 2000 and I teared up before you on you mom blessing you. Those random blessings are so missed and picking up the phone and hearing her at the other end. They make a huge impact on our whole life's we just never get over it. I am probably older than your mom LOL and have lived the country lifestyle always. I learned to cook from my mom and Home Economics in HS so have always homecooked. I've never not had a working pantry and when covid and the TX snowstorm hit us I chose not to leave my house for over 4 months and did not even need to. I believe Jessica at Three Rivers is such a blessing for younger women with the months in the winter where she does not go to the store and then the month where she puts something up every day. Once it's a learned habit you'll never panic if you can't get to a store. My parents met in Anchorage and my sis was born there. Thanks for sharing your little part of the world!
Regardless of age we also have so much in common. Thank you for sharing so happy to have you
I have been stocking up on paper products this month and on rice and beans. Buying 25lb bags and vacuum sealing as much as possible and putting the bags in buckets and containers. I really need more water but that will be done before the snow flies! i just started following you and will need to go back to follow this challenge. I am one of the people who will bulk shop and not shop for months, well except for produce and dairy. I am even getting back to baking breads and treats for fun. I do not want my family to be lacking this winter and do not want to have to spend nearly everything we have just to eat. If we remain diligent and faithful to the plan, (YES THERE IS A PLAN) we will make it and be fine. We even bless another family on our block when we need to step up. I am happy for you and your household. You stay blessed and continue to be an inspiration to the rest of us!💖
You are seriously exactly what we need more of, thank you so much for sharing
Great big thank you and shout out to all the new subscribers!
Becky at AcrreHomestead has a really good bbq sauce recipe. that shelf that buckled, if it's doing it a lot i'd consider replacing it with some plywood or boards. I'm in Atlantic Canada.. winter stockups are pretty much a given.. winter can be rough this year will definitely be
I couldn’t agree more. Thank you for sharing I’ll check her BBQ out.
The Kirkland brand bags are just as good. That’s what we’ve been using for awhile now
Great to know. We got that so I’m happy to hear that.
That was so awesome that your mom was able to help you with your stock up. I knew it meant a lot to you, because you got emotional about it. (It got me a little emotional). She’s still looking out for her baby.❤️ Thank you for sharing this!🥰
Ahhh I do I’m an emotional person. Good security is such a big thing to me.
@@modernhomesteadalaska I agree with you about good security. It’s very important to me too.👍🏻
What a blessing indeed thank God for mother's who are able to help when they can.
Yes! Exactly they are a give we can’t quite always understand. But a mother’s love is like nothing else.
What a blessing your mama is! ❤️
I agree thank you so much!
The little bit extra I get to stock up on each time I go to the store makes me so happy. There is so much peace knowing that we will be able to feed our family of 8 even if things get more crazy. Yesterday I canned 4 quarts of chicken and 3 quarts of pinto beans. We were really able to intentionally stop eating out last fall when I started canning. Having the quick and easy meals for us has been a game changer. I can put dinner on the table in 5 minutes if need arises. Love it!
You are a hard working devoted mom to do all that prep and put amazing food on the table. I’m trying so hard to get at that place.
How sweet of your mom ! God bless 🤗
Ohio 🤗🌸🤗
Texas Hill country here. Living alone but invested in canner & supplies, small freezer, food buckets & food saver this past year. Trying a small fall garden for first time ever. Canned peach butter & jam and tomatoes & salsa last week. Ordered from Azure. Believing in steps toward food self sufficiency.
Wow that is amazing! Way to go I’m so happy for you.
Today I have hit a wall. I have been prepping non stop. I am just worn out this week. I know I'll bounce out of this soon, but man, the hits keep coming. My mom was my best friend and I wish I could hug her one more time. We shopped alot together and had such s great time together. God bless
I’m so sorry. I feel you. The hubby and I went for a drive this weekend because I just couldn’t take it anymore. I’m sorry for you loss also.
I make my own bbq no recipe
Apple cider vinegar hot sauce onion powder garlic powder ancho chili powder paprika ketchup brown sugar molasses chopped onion ground mustard Worcestershire sauce and I use ground mustard I add about a tablespoon of spices about cup of ketchup when I use apple cider vinegar I only add about 1 tsp I let it cook on the stove for 20 mins on low then I taste it and adjust spices as needed
Wow that’s great thank you! I should also get the high bush cranberries (not a real cranberry) out of my yard and make ketchup with that. I hear it’s good! I have all these other things. I wonder if I could make it super Alaska wild BBQ! You gave me so many ideas. Thank you!
No problem i can’t wait till you make your own I will be watching.
I haven’t heard of high bush cranberries probably cause I am still new to everything and still learning before I buy a homestead
@@modernhomesteadalaska simple living Alaska you tube channel has a high bush cranberry sauce. Plus well heaps. I learn lots from them about gardening and preserving.
Awhhh you look like your mama, very very pretty. I love watching your videos you are all AMAZING family
Thank you for sharing your lifestyle 🙏 😊 🙂 God bless you all.
Wow thank you so much!
Yes that's a blessing.
Amen! Moms are the best
Aren't moms great! No matter how old we are, they still want to help us out. I am blessed to have a mom like that also. I enjoy shopping at Costco too!
Agree! Huge blessing!
So the white lid jar vacuum sealer works on all sealer's. The small jar has never been fixed so put two lids on and it will do small jars. Take off and the extra lid will be in the white lid sealer and that way all jars can be done.
Great information thank you for sharing.
You have a sweet mom God bless her . And God bless you and your family. Your videos are great.
Amen thank you so much
Mommas are the best! Love her up as often as you can. My sweet mother has been gone almost 12 years, I still miss her every day. As a mother every one seems to depend on us and I totally get that but my mom was always my soft spot to fall, to breath, and to charge up.
Thank you for sharing I’m so sorry for your loss.
What a great mom. I wish I had a Costco or Sam's close the nearest Costco is 6 hours and Sam's is 2.5 hours away. There is nothing wrong with being prepared. I processed 10 meat chickens today and have 10 left.
Way to go on the Chickens. That’s so much work. Worth every bit of it.
I love my battery keeper. I use it all the time
Agree
Your mom is so awesome! Bless her so much!!!
I agree! Thank you!,,
blessed, mom's are great, and sorely missed when their gone. I blessed myself today...feeling a little run done
Well I pray right now a blessing on you today!
Your mom is a treasure! I miss my momma😟. I took care of her for years. Momma had dementia but she is in Heaven now. Enjoyed your video.
I couldn’t agree more! Thank you so much! I’m sorry for your loss.
God bless you and your family!
What a blessing your Mom is and wonderful to lift your family to secure your staples.
So enjoy your videos!!
❤❤❤
Thank you I totally agree!
Hi Jessica, I think it is a wonderful blessing. I just came in out of my gardens. I pray y'all have a blessed winter season.
Thank you same for you too
Family is everything ❤️🏴
Thank you so very much my friend,
You are so beautiful. I love how genuine you are. I can tell you don't like asking for help but are very humbled by the innate generosity of others. Your mum is such a beautiful soul. The apple didn't fall far from the tree.
Oh w oh w that’s so beautiful and kind thank you!
I moved with my parents into an independent living senior community apartment. We moved from a 2800 sqft house to a 1080 sqft apartment. I just bought a one burner butane stove as we have an electric stove and if the power goes out, we won't be able to cook anything. Slowly stocking up on things.
Way to start getting prepared. That’s amazing. What a big move that must be.
You're mum is fantastic You're so blessed my mum is no longer here keep your mum close to your heart ♥️
Thank you so much. It’s a beautiful blessing.
What an awesome Mom, you are truly blessed!! I am in Northern Minnesota so I understand stocking up.
Wow thank you! That’s is very kind.
Hi Debbi! I am in north central MN🙂
Since the inflation hit, i have decided to do my costco and grocery only once a month. I can always grab milk and bread at the convenient store. It is saving me lots of money.
your mum is a treasure - what a blessing.
Amen! It’s so much help!
I went to the store today. I have a hard time getting out of the house. Being around people bothers me. I enjoyed wstch you for the first time today.May 7th 2023.
Thank you Ruth.
Thank you I’m honored you would spend time with me. Thank you
Your mama is precious 💗 I miss my mama. I seen your heart in tears. I am learning from your cooking. Thank you ma'am
Thank you sorry for your loss
Moms are the best! Congratulations on your journey and sharing it with us!
Thank you so much I agree.
Your mom is a sweetheart. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you I could agree more.
Thank you so much for the lunch meat advice! I shop at Costco and have been spending between 9,00 and 13.00 a pound for it! By buying it whole and slicing it, it will save me hundreds! Thank you!
Anytime. It’s such a great trick, not only that you can slice it anyway you want.
Moms are the best!!
Yes they are! Thank you!
I miss living close to a Costco, it made bulk purchases so much easier. Anymore, I order a lot of my non-perishable items online. It saves me a lot of time. I somehow became our family's designated jelly maker, so right now I'm taking a breather while the latest batch of blackberry preserves cools.
Nice I love jams and jelly so much!
Hello from Melbourne Australia , bless your mum for helping you and your family. Looking forward to watching your channel 😊
Yeah!! So happy to have you! Thank you so much!
I do the 50 gallon bags. However they are heavy but they are also great for bedding or large toy dumps.
Oh there you go! I agree if it’s light stuff I need the bigger bags
Bless your mom, that was a tremendous gift. I have to say you look so happy and relaxed with her there to help! Warms my heart. Oh my jalapeño salt, I am going to have to look into that, I have been blessed with an abundance of them from my garden. I canned some corn relish.
Thank you that’s so kind. I have the jalapeño going now I’m overly excited to try it.
Thanks for sharing. God bless you and your family. Prices are up everywhere. Hafa adai and love from the island of Guam 🌴💕🌴
Hello! Thank you for being here.
Wonderful job. The basement looks great. You give me motivation.
Thank you so much
I like different kinds of thinking 😊
Me too thank you!
it doesn't matter how old you are when your parents help you it is indeed a blessing
Amen
With everything going up.. eggs! Butter! IT SEEMS EVERYTHING is at least twice as expensive from 2 years ago. I went to groc store today.. didn't really need groc but went for a small haul of mostly digital coupons and checked out on sale stuff. I just scan isles for red stickers and ck digital coupons because they are significant savings. I shop totally different from how I used to shop. I now concentrate on sales.. and cook and make meals from those items instead of deciding on meals and just buying those ingredients.. since that's too expensive now.
I totally agree. And when I’m stocked I can slow back and just fill in from sales. But oh my the price goes up after then the income.
I loved this video. I really like Costco hauls. Your mom is a precious blessing.
Thank you so much I couldn’t agree more! Most beautiful thing still feeding her baby
Hi I'm a newbie watching from Scotland 💙 I absolutely love everything Alaska.
Looking forward to catching up on all your videos 🥰
Wow hello! Thank you for being here.
I love watching your Costco haul- what a Blessing for you & your Mother for her to be able to help you out with the cost! This past week my daughter & I have been price matching & ordering paper products! 😜. We will buy our pet products & stock up closer to winter! I am disabled & I rarely go outside in the cold. God’s Blessings! 💜
That’s great! I even checked for sales on the things I do have. And thanks to you I did grab some tissue and paper towels just in case a rainy day. You just never know. Thanks for hanging out with me!
Mommas bless us for all of our lives. May your sweet Momma have a safe trip home.
Yea thank you! All these momma comments have me in tears it’s a beautiful blessing.
Family is such a blessing! God has blessed you have so much to be thankful for . Now you get to have fun and organize everything!
Thank you! God is so very good to us. I’m beyond blessed.
WOW...that was quite a haul! I do love watching Costco runs...am I weird or what?? Your Mom is such a sweetheart! I am so glad you got to spend time with her. Cherish every moment, because she won't be here forever! I know about having to buy when you can afford things, but we all do the best we can do! Great big hugs and continued blessings!
Thank you! Not weird at all they are quite popular! I think we all like to see what or how others do things. Always do the best you can do and at the end of the night hang your hat on that.
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing how your mom blessed you. ❤️It’s such a beautiful encouragement to be reminded that the Lord provides for and cares and sees what our family needs, and desires. What a blessing! Today I’m canning mulberry jelly from the MANY berries we foraged this year and I stuck in the freezer. Free berries are such a blessing! Nothing wasted 😊
Ps I love our battery daddy more than I expected 😂
I agree with you. That's very humble and honest. Looking forward to seeing more as I am new here.
Wow thank you! I agree it’s vulnerable to share when helped. But it’s also like you say a testament to how great our God is at supply for us. So thank you so much for being so kind!
Wow thank you so much. And welcome to the channel.
I picked canned pears today-and will again tomorrow-till they are all in the basement!
That’s great so much work way to go.
You are blessed with such a sweet mom. I'm still playing catch up on your videos. And I'm from Duncan Oklahoma.
Completely agree thank you
The Kirkland vacuum seal bags are great. We love them! We love our battery daddy, too. Also, Duracell makes Kirkland brand batteries. Our Costco doesn’t carry yellow mustard and ours stopped carrying the freeze dried Idaho spuds!!! I love those! We’re in Connecticut.
Oh that’s wonderful thank you fir the information! Have a beautiful weekend.
A brake bleeder kit works great with the lid that goes on the jars to vacuum seal them. That’s what I use and it was only $20 from Amazon. I’ll see if I can find the channel where I heard that tip.
Oh my goodness now that you said that it’s @raincountry I watch her and remembering! Dang it.
Also Rose red Homestead has a video.
Yes that’s it!! She’s awesome. After watching some of her videos, I was able to store up some of our favorite simple mills snacks and treats by vacuum sealing them in jars. They go stale pretty quick on their own I think because of the almond flour. It’s nice to know we have a few comfort foods stored away for long term.
Hi from Wisconsin. Its a great feeling to be stocked up and ready for emergencies. We tried to stock up when covid hit everyone. We burn wood so i made sure we have 3 years supply cut and ready! I did major orders on line mostly with Walmart. Also i stocked up on venison as we can take extra antlerles in my zone. Keep up the good work and good luck getting the Caribou & Moose this fall!!!
You are doing amazing!
Hello from Lincoln, NE! Just found your channel and am loving it! I am slowly working my prepper pantry and this has been inspiring to get my butt in gear! I have the added bonus of trying to keep my items safe from two nosy cats! ;p
Oh that’s so fun. Thank you for being here.
How wonderful to be able to visit and shop with your mom! What a blessing for you and your family!
Thank you so much. Such a huge blessing.
I also love the battery caddie. I have two. I heard and experienced the Kirkland batteries tend to leak and get corroded. I no longer go for the cheaper brand of batteries. My favorite store is Costco. It is my retail therapy and exercise regimen. I live in Colorado Springs, CO.
My whole family loves the battery daddy!!! Great organizational tool.
I’m so happy I’m not alone!
God bless your Mom! That was a really nice thing she did. Thank you to your Mom.
Love this channel ♥️
Thank you!,, that’s amazing so happy to have you around.
New to your channel. You made me cry in your gratefulness for the blessing from your mom.
Oh hello welcome! Thank you so much for watching and the kind words.
Boy, I’d LOVE to do as much shopping at the store as you do. That’s fantastic!
Oh we have filled as best we can and finally can cut back
Love the shopping videos Costco items are very different from what we can buy here in Coventry, England. Keep on posting🙏
I’ll bet it is crazy how different things are around the world
Hello, I'm from southwest Missouri. I just found your website, and love it. I to shopped for the winter. I look forward to seeing more from you. Take care and be blessed.
Wow WELCOME! It’s a variety channel of out life here all the things. Hope you like it
What a sweet mom! You are blessed beyond measure!
You got that right thank you for saying so!
New sub here from Phoenix, Arizona. Love your channel!!
Hello in Phoenix AZ!
Jessica you are a great source of Information on lots of things 9-12-2022😊 and your MoM., I am from Southern NJ Hello 👋🏽
Hello 👋 thank you
HELLO, I understand.. My name is Becky, from North Central Texas! Big Howdy! From our family to yours! The struggle is real! Many blessings love, and hugs!
Wow! Howdy! I can say Howdy I was raised in part in Texas! Welcome!!!
Hey first video watched. I had to subscribe. I am from WV, I call it the rainforest. 😆 👋
I had an issue with some comments not being published. You got caught I. That group. Hello thank you for being here.
Love watching you channel you family so very sweet and very kind love your channel so much
Hi from New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤ just found your channel. What a beautiful area you live in. ❤
Wow thank you! Hello welcome
We don't have a Costco in West Virginia. I have been putting things back. I live alone I have a year food on hand have for a long time.
I’m am so proud of you! I love it that you take caring for yourself seriously. What a great thing that is thank you for hanging out!
Just came in from mowing yard with a riding mower. You don't give up.
Hi Jessica! New sub here! I’m binge watching your videos. I’m originally from SE New Mexico, but live in the Texas panhandle now.
I am stocking up for my husband & myself, my disabled son and his family of 3 and my father in law. Today, I stocked up on laundry detergent, beans, baby wipes and toilet tissue for my son, daughter-in-law and precious granddaughter.
Wow you have your work cut out. It’s wild but I thought what a blessing to have so many around you to care for.
I just adore your channel. Thank you for saying it's ok to just do your best when stocking up. I find alot of channels tend to act like if its not the best of the best, then your failing. Its nice to just have encouragement.
You seriously made me emotional. I try my best for my family. I was remembering today the time I went to the food bank 4 little babies on my hip and hand Aaron was working 60-80 hour weeks and we just weren’t making it. That week it was food or gas but we could afford both. I went through the shelves I didn’t read a single ingredient, I didn’t ask where the hamburger came from. I didn’t look at how much sugar was in the peanut butter. I took what would get us through and nothing more cried the whole time. I did the best I could that day. I saw it break my husbands spirit. So when other are like “only organic crass feed butter for $17.99 it makes me cringe. Sure when that day comes I also like the best of the best. But right now I need to fill a pantry in short order that most take YEARS todo. So you are alright around here if all you do is the best you can! Thank you! It’s good emotions snd lots of Thank you Jesus that I’m not there. But thank you even more for supplying for me when I was.
@@modernhomesteadalaska Yes amen 🙏
My mom and I cook in bulk and split a lot of things. So here is our BBQ recipe that we absolutely love ❤️
1 Lg Onion - grinded
Garlic 12 - grinded
Roaster pan:
- let onion and garlic dry out in big pan on med/high heat for 10ish minutes with a lid... turn down to medium heat and cook for 10 more minutes without lid.
3 big Katchup
2 sm A1 Sauce
2 cups Brown sugar
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
Salt
Pepper
Liquid smoke
Lawery salt
Stirring frequently
(Adjust ingredients to your liking if need be)
Wonderful thank you fir taking the time to share!
What a precious mom you have!!!! I’d get the smaller bags too Jessica. Enjoy the sun while you have it. ❤️
See I knew the smaller ones are better. The sun was short lived but beautiful while it lasted.
I buy the number 10 cans of fruit & vegetables in the spring & summer. In the winter when I’m not overloaded I start canning them. I add all kinds of things. I turn corn into a relish. Some of the green beans get pickled. The carrots get spiced. It’s nice to have a grab & go meal in the pantry. I also pull out my dried beans & start canning those. Makes quick work for a meal. Add fresh made bread or cornbread.
Ok you just convinced me to look more into the #10s. I also plan on canning lots of dry beans come winter.
My name is Andrea, I’m a grandmother to 10 and retired. I love watching family. Just found your channel.
Hello and welcome! Nice to have you.
I use a lot of Tylenol so I have bought a few extra bottles to have on hand.
That’s great it’s important. To have what you use on hand
Blessings come in all forms and is a wonderful gift.❤️
Amen thank you!
Love your channel. I live vicariously through people who live in Alaska 😄
Yell I’m happy you are here! Sending you some Alaska sunshine!
I love your spirit. The way you did your video is refreshing and easy to watch. Keep doing you. Memphis Tn is where I'm from.
Oh my goodness wow thank you so much. You touched my heart with that.
Hello I'm from the south I live in the mountains of Georgia.
Hello Georgia!
Thank God for mothers
Thanks for your heads up on storing food.
Anytime!
i agree with your mom on this one, a dishwasher is definitely a must..lol
lol it’s been a few years and I think 1 maybe 2 times have I missed it, both times I wanted to just hide the dirty dishes not wash them.
Making pizza sauce today and spaghetti sauce all tomatoes from our garden
Oh yeah!!! That amazing!!! Way to go!
Love love love you guys! So glad I’m not the only one who thinks like you guys and are getting stocked for the winter- and I’m in Florida 😂 it’s like in my DNA though 😂
Lol no matter where we are my sister and I were just saying hello we all went through sold out everything 2 years ago. If that was not a sign nothing is. Even in beautiful Florida! Thanks for hanging out today.
@@modernhomesteadalaska exactly! I’ve been a “prepper” since college. Really I just make sure myself and my family have food and an extra of most supplies we need. In college I was the only one who had food for Hurricane Wilma, outside of the cafeteria! Never going without unless it’s impossible to prepare! I look for your videos everyday! You’re doing great things!
Can you save money and buy the air vent cord for the air sucker out of the jars???? That is a really good price but I would try a hose cord first and take the hose with me to the Home Depot type place and size the air hose with a new one to save you money and not buy a new jar air space saver. Or whatever they’re called.
Such a great idea. Thank you fir sharing the reminder.
I ❤ watching you guys i live in the UK and i like to see what your shop are like
Hello from Alaska!
Wow that was quite a shop, oh bless you I can see how much stocking up and getting help from mum means to you, well done, keep smiling love from Wiltshire in the UK xxx
Oh wow thank you friend. When someone helps in that way it touches the heart. Thank you all the way in Wiltshire!
Great haul and great that you continue to get attachments that help you prep and stock your pantry and freezer. The only thing you seem to be missing is a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer. I have one and absolutely love it. I run it almost everyday. It has truly made it so much easier for my food preps and storage. Hopefully one day you will be able to get one. Good job on your every bit challenge.
Thank you so much! Someday I will afford it. Seems like most everyone is doing the @ Harvest Right Freeze Dryer! Praying we find a way to get one. It would sure help around here.
Hi I'm new my name is sherry from California. Nice big haul bless your sweet momma for helping you I do that too for my kids ❤ jalapeno salt is so good .if you don't have dry milk it's good for storage also I make homemade chocolate milk with it in big containers for winter time it's delicious 😋
Nice hello welcome Sherry! I do have milk I got it in my azure haul. I need to figure out chocolate. I bet that’s yummy!
Hi! When you say homemade chocolate milk, I have never heard of making it like that. Would you have a recipe to share? I make hot chocolate mix with dry milk, that’s really good also🙂
