Love Leisa’s channel! I really appreciated hearing her say that when it comes to gardening, “you’re going to fail but you’re going to succeed too.” I can’t tell you how hard I’ve worked to learn the skill of gardening. Almost no one will tell you that it’s hard (I guess that doesn’t make a good video) but it is. Thank you, Leisa, for keeping it real as always!
I'm a old man and everybody I know is ridding on the struggle bus and seems like the bus driver has his eyes closed and we are heading for the cliff...❤😂❤... stay strong people...
I’m 73 and I see it also everywhere and go!! I focus on what I can prep, not vacations or bars or wasting money!! I love my gardens and I work hard to grow lots for food to can or freeze!!
My husband, in Heaven, used to say that life is good if you don’t weaken!!! I pray as soon I get up for help each day and then I’m off!
Bless you and stay strong!!
Jonathan and Kylene: I grew up on a farm and even though my husband grew up on a farm too, most of what his mother did escaped his notice. We grew and preserved our food. When we moved to town, my husband did not understand why I continued to can and freeze food. Many of my friends thought I was old fashioned because I preserved, since Covid they now respect my ways. Now some of them are asking me how to do the things I have always done. My husband will not even eat canned green beans from the store. We have removed many of the plants in our flower beds and put in berry bushes and veg. The perimeter of our property has fruit trees on it. As we age and the trees mature we will have things to eat that may be too expensive to buy on a limited income. I thought the comment about ugly chicken dinners was priceless.
I cant believe the two prepper channels I follow are doing a collab together..Leisa is a cool lady..glad you guys are interviewing her.
Me too😅
So excited!🎉
@@annlockey8552 Isn't this great!
Same!
same!
I love, love Leisa Sutton! She has taught me so much over the last four years! Everyone needs to follow her channel! Thank you for having her on your channel
My wife just bought a really nice pressure cooker/canner at a yard sale 2 days ago for $10. It is like new. Already made a perfect pork roast yesterday. She's fixin to can everything!
What I learned today…
Never.NEVER!!!! Put your dehydrated peas in the exact same kind of jar you keep your mini chocolate chips in.
Cause if you grab the wrong jar, your homemade ice cream may not be what you expect.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
😂
My son gave me this tip on how to stock a pantry, on a budget, buying what we know we will eat. He called it the "eat one, buy two" rule. So when you run out of something, buy one to replace it, and another for the pantry. So when I use up a bottle of ketchup, I find it on sale and buy two instead of just one. Little by little you will develop a stand-by pantry of things you know you use. Then it is a simple thing to just add a bag of rice and/or beans to the cart for a dollar or two. If you do this for a year, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish.
When you put things away, ALWAYS write the expiration the can with a Sharpie, on the FRONT so you can see it, and use the oldest first. (I know expiration dates are mostly irrelevant, but I still want to know what is the oldest and use that first.)
I grew up on the farm. We went to town every second Saturday. My parents were children of the depression and I inherited that ethos. The agrarian life has to be relearned
For groceries, to make it to the next payday - have a list of what's in the pantry PLAN the number of meals you need & whst ingredients are missing so you only shop the missing ingredients plus the sale items.
If you eat bread, learn to make it. It does not need to be time consuming. It offers an immediate way to save money. And no store bought bread beats fresh from the oven, still warm.
I make my own regular yeast bread and sour dough. I cost pennies on the dollar and so good.
I love Leisa!!! She is So knowledgeable and she answers questions.
I live on $900 a month SS so prepping has gotten so very hard for me. I have a big garden so praying I will get a lot of food to can. I’m 73 and still go out foraging berries and other foods in woods but now I’m planting as much ch as I can in my yard so I don’t need to fall down banks trying to pick elderberries!!! I went down 15 feet into a ditch but I just laughed as I pulled my way up!
No more of that now!
So when I get my check I’ll pay bills then I prep as much as I can! I needed to hear this. Thank you here from north central Wisconsin
@RHONDA, I am also 73 and alone. I live outside Milwaukee. Would you like some Elderberry starts? My friend lives in Antigo. I could drop them off. I only have a couple but it's a start.
Awesome interview, thank you for hosting Leisa on your show! I have been following Leisa on CZcams and Facebook for about a year and she is the real deal. My tips would be to take a hard, honest look at what you are eating and refine where you can ( should?). My pantry used to be 90% quick, highly processed “food”. It’s generally what the stores put on sale, but it’s very unhealthy and isn’t really food. I now focus on shopping the outside aisles where the real food is: fresh meat and produce, then the freezer aisle for frozen veggies, fruits. I skip most everything that is highly processed. I learned to do home canning to preserve as much as I can to make it shelf stable and eliminate all those nasty chemical preservatives. When canned veggies or fruits are on sale, I buy them by the case. The last time chicken breast was on sale for .99 per pound, I bought 40 pounds and canned it. 50 pound bags of potatoes - canned. Whatever I am not or can’t grow in my own little garden, I shop the farmer markets and U - pick farms. I buy oats, rice, beans in bulk and then repackage and vacuum seal. In just a year my pantry is filled with good, real, wholesome food and now my monthly shopping trips are just backfilling the things I have used. We drastically cut our dining out/fast food spending and that alone saved us a lot of money.
Love ya Lisa, you and Provident Prepper, and RoseRed Homestead were the people that I can say had a big impact on my journey to becoming self sufficient. Thank you all for your hard work.
Thank you so much for joining us on this journey!!
I really respect Lisa. Especially the canning.
Just keep working at it! Don’t stop and even if you slow down, you’re still moving forward!
I sure had to learn that after 3 months in the hospital. The last surgery I had takes a full year to recover and get your strength back. I have 6 months to go.
13:55 food waste is an astronomical crime in this country. 🙌 Amen
Great contribution from ppl I regularly follow. I now have a monthly prepping budget and I am saving for some desired “tools”. I am also taking a canning class which is definitely a challenge because I am blind but I know I do this and so can others. It is a team effort and that can be a family, neighbors, small group, etc. Thanks for that you all share!
GOOD FOR YOU! MUCH RESPECT
I have been watching both of these channels for a while along with some others. Something I learned from another Prepper for people on a budget…. Start where you are with what you have. Make a list of the foods you love to eat and take as much $$ as you can each week and start to stock your pantry. It can be as little as $5 but do it each time you shop for groceries. I have been prepping this way for a while and i have quite a little stockpile in both my short term pantry and then longer term pantry as well. Make sure you are rotating the items in your short term pantry, long term lasts a lot longer at least what i consider long term is 10 years shelf life+. So you won’t have to rotate that as often.
The biggest tip I have is to start and start now if you haven’t!
Love Lisa, she’s taught me so much, her tips are gold and sense of humour comforting.
I love Leisa! She is the only prepper I have found to be the most relatable to me and my lifestyle.
I was showing a friend my garden and they had no idea what the stuff was. That just baffles me and makes me sad. I also know a man who eats all his meals at restaurants or a drive thru.
Love Leisa! She’s got a wonderful sense of humor and so helpful with her canning videos and my favorite videos, using your preps.
Wow! I never ran across Leisa’s channel before. Thank you for having her on. I learned so much from this video!
I love Sutton’s Daze channel!
Lisa is the queen❤
Thanks to all 3 of you. And Jonathan, thank you for saying the men folk have to step it up.
One thing to consider when deciding whether to buy in bulk is you have to add on the cost of mason jars or mylar bags or whatever means you’re going to use to store them. You may get a great deal on the food itself, but then you have to consider the way to store them.
Our local Walmart gets their frostings in 3 and 5 lb food grade buckets, they sell them to us for 5 dollars a piece. Not a bad price. If need be can duct tape around the edges to keep it more safe.
Depending on how long you want to store things, you may be able to reuse jars from the grocery store. We use old pasta jars to hold dry beans or some pasta. (Don't reuse those sorts of jars for canning, but they're great for dry storage.)
@@christyyutzy8504Check with other stores and bakeries .... We are able to get food grade buckets for free at Safeway (closest to our house) and a couple of other places. Don't discount some of the smaller, containers too. For example, we have some in 5 gallon and 2.5 gallon buckets but also smaller containers which I call "kitchen ready" whuch can be removed from the pantry and placed in the kitchen as is rather than opening and scooping from a bigger container. - i agree with you about the need to include the cost of the packaging/ repackaging/ additional packaging when calculating your savings. We are not peppers for an Armageddon, a year of failed crops, etc... As a result, we make shorter and longer term storage considerations along with what is required for both the prep and the packaging.
Love Suttons Daze! Longtime subscriber and my girls grew up listening to her in the background! 😊
she is my soul sister!~ thanks for sharing and food security has been in my life for 62 years we pressure can our chicken we buy at costco in bulk its wonderful
One thing I would like to add to this discussion is to of course save water in properly designated containers but remember, you also may need water for bathing and cleaning. For that reason, I wash and refill mainly juice containers. They are not very heavy when full but they add an additional layer of comfort should something catastrophic happen.
Coming from generations of traditional women homemaking and pantry buildings came natural. Generations of one income women gave me the knowledge. The older generations could do almost anything on nothing.
love love love this video and her approach. Whenever I'm talking to my family/friends about preparedness I'm all about the non-hollywood scenarios. right now I'm living one, my house needs a new roof so I'm eating out of my food storage to cashflow it.
QOTD--I have two. 1. When I first started building my pantry a big part of what helped me get going was simplifying my diet now instead of in hard times. I still occasionally buy the expensive ingredients as a treat, but most days my diet is already beans and rice based. Turns out I really like it, and have taught myself to cook a wide variety of indian, asian, and latino dishes. Beans doesn't have to be boring! 2. have faith. hard times don't last, but hard people do. just keep putting one foot in front of the other. When I first started out I could only put an extra $10/month towards preparedness. But I still eventually got that year (or more lol) supply in place.
My tip for building a pantry is to buy 1 extra food storage item every grocery trip. If something is on sale, buy a few more.
The cutting of elderberry does work I just dipped the end in root tone and now 3 years later it s blooming. Most of my food forest is from mothers garden. Just a few plants end up being many. On your rhubarb and black raspberries put oak leaves too cover them throughout the winter they will end up being huge and thumb size berries.
Thank you for having Leisa with you on this video! I love both of your channels.
So good to see Leisa on your channel. Jonathan is always talking about his love of beans. I’d like to see how he uses beans and maybe share a few recipes with the viewers. Other than pinto beans for tacos or chickpeas for hummus, I’m at a loss of how to use them. Keep up the work you do for our CZcams community. God bless.
You asked for it :) We have several classic standby recipes that are delightful. My chili recipe is amazing :) We got you covered!
Here is one to get you started czcams.com/video/U7r6a1Xlg5s/video.htmlsi=tIWFqRiJ0QJ6Ztgw This sauce is really great!
@@TheProvidentPrepper Thanks so much. I’ll check it out. 👍
Rice is cheap in bulk right now. 50lb $22 @ Costco
What is sad is that so many people don't know how to cook.
Exactly, I started cooking, gardening and canning at 6 years old. I can’t imagine not being able to feed myself
I truly enjoyed your video this morning having Leisa Sutton as your guest. I do watch her all the time, but today on your channel I took away a tip that is creating a Price Book. I have learned so much from your channel as well. The cooking fuel and what is the best method for my home . I am purchasing the stove that uses klean heat. Blessing to you both
Barbara Salsbury has a great book; Preparedness Principles, The Complete Personal Preparedness Resource Guide where she presents what she refers to her "Pantry Principle". How to build up your pantry using a personal plan just as Leisa is talking about. Excellent information and timely advice.
Yes her book is great, Rose Red Homestead recommended the book.
Your channel was recommended for this video, I have followed Leisa for years and she has without knowing taught me to build a pantry and how to can. I absolutely love her CZcams channel have a new subscriber
Being alone I do not Can like I used to, but we'll see when the garden starts producing. What I do is look for sales. Hamburger goes on sale so I cook up what I have in the freezer and freeze the new stuff. Make meatloaf, pot pies etc. I eat more fresh sale items and leave the cans for later. Muffins now have blueberries, strawberries, and rhubarb, the rest will be jams or frozen for later. I just hate throwing out food. We need to use every scrap we have because someday we will wish we did.
I didn't realize this was your video when I saw Leisa 🤣 I ingredient shop! When I first started building my pantry, I was going nuts trying to decide a menu and to stock for that. That's when I learned I was doing it all wrong! BUY, the ingredients, shoot if I'm busy, it might be 3PM before I remember- SUPPER...Often times, I can go to the freezer- CHICKEN breasts can be cooked from frozen! Then it's off to the pantry to pick up- oh that looks good! Having the ingredients there and ready to go is much better than buying for "meals"
😊Johnathon- guess what I have stocked? Ms. Pam's- Rosered Homestead Fast beans! I cook a freeze dryer load at a time. Soak overnight, rinse in the morning, another at least 2 hour soak for me..Then I put them in the crock-pot. Dinner for the night, and then the rest go into the freeze dryer.
Already cooked, made at home, and it takes 5 to 10 minutes to make them for supper. NO store bought needed! The uses after that are as long as your arm! Grind a 1/4 cup and add to your breads, or use as a gravy thickener.. LOTS of ways to use them. Don't get me started on baked beans! 😂
I'm just about too get my herb drying stand put together. With my 10 -12" square baskets. Looking at them they had flour left from drying egg noodles witch was free. And about finish up my shelves for the pantry. So I can have shelves for 1/4 -1/2 pints, pints, quarts,1/2 gallons and gallon jars.
Thank you Leisa, Kylene and Jonathan for this video. Keep up the good work. Happy trails!
What a wonderful collaboration! Love all of ya'll 💕💕
Awesome collaboration! Very helpful information. Thank you all! BTW, ugly chicken is phenomenal in chicken fettuccine alfredo! 😜
I just love watching your channel and appreciate your wealth of knowledge that you share with us. Thank you for joining forces with Lisa Sutton and making a video together. She is awesome! She taught me to pressure can by watching her channel. You guys are awesome thank you!
There right, it’s usually a personal SHTF scenario‼️ Thanks 👍🏼
She's great. This are all great tools. In the tool box. I never thought I'd use dehydrated lemon slices so much.
YES!!!!! Love this collab!!! My two fav preparation channels together! 💪🤙
New follower Leisa.. For us, I shop the food wheel...Staples, seasonings, then if there's any extra I get box & bulk foods. Think storage, what process do you use, what containers do you use, what temps are needed.
Thanks for the colab guys. I found Himalayan salt very affordable at a meat market. They repack into heat sealed bags for grillin etc and it is 2 something a pound so I grab a couple at a time to save for fermenting and table use and whatever else I want to try with salt.
Spinach in brownies thats funny 😅 i do sneak spinach powder into spaghetti sauce and my family has no idea 😊 great video 👍
Two of my favorite channels in a single episode! Yay !! ❤️
I watch both of your channels. Great that you are doing a collaboration together! ❤❤❤
I love her.... I used to rely on my brain!!! Facts. My brain hurts.
I never considered pickled asparagus. Thanks!
Hopefully this will get more of her subscribers to watch you guys too :D. I love both your channels!
Thank you for sharing this information with us and especially for sharing Leisa here with us. Love her channel so very much. Blessings ❤❤
God Bless you all!❤
Leisa is wonderful!
Fantastic guest! I learned a lot. Thanks
I like to see just how much food I can squeeze out of whatever...
Example: A Roasted Chicken
1) Cut it up into different cuts-Sliced Breast for dinner or sandwiches, chunked for Casserole or Pot Pie, Bits & Bites for Chicken Salad, Soups & Stews.
2) Cook the bones & carcass in the oven @ 350°\1 hour then boil in water with the skins and a splash of Apple Cider Vinegar. Add vegetable scrapes that were saved in the freeze from previous meals to make broth to drink or make soups, stews or gravy.
3) Refrigerate broth, so the the fat floats to the top and can be removed for rendering and canning onto Chicken Schmaltz (a butter replacement).
*Note most Bones & Vegetable Scrapes can be reused at least 3 times, just cool, ziplock bag it & toss in the freeze for the nutritional boost in your next batch of broth. After the third usage, the Chickens recycle the vegetable scrapes into eggs & fertilizer for us.
Bones can be partially dried, grounded and add to the compost bin.
Love me some good bone broth!
Great information. Thanks so much for the tips and tricks
👍
2 of my favorites! Thanks! loved it
So glad!
ah, two of my subscribed channels teaming up! always lovely to see
Spinach brownies! 😂😂😂 Please give us a recipe!
Much healthier than Mary J brownies.
Oh yes! Dehydrate it now. Hydrate it later. As I am also subscribe to Sutton's Daze, I enjoy this conversation immensely.
Ty so very much love both channels I need to be pointed in to the right direction for what and how to dehydrate foods
Leisa is fantastic, thank you-this was great!
Awesome guest. Thanks for all the information.
I would love to have a real good cookbook on what we can do with our foods on hand and how to make tasty things on a frugal budget that we all have to deal with in the world now.

Pantry preparedness
Thanks so much for sharing Lisa! As for a price book, you can also use an app. I love the "unit price calculator" app. I am have gone overboard and created a comparison for every item we purchase. I compare prices between stores and also sale prices. I make note of dates when things were what price so I can remember what is the best price and also see how prices have increased over time. But this really helps me keep track of best price per unit, weight, etc. and to know when is a great stock up price.
Great collaboration….all my favorites!!❤️(There are a few more😊don’t want to hurt feelings!)
Great video! Enjoyed it a lot!
Such valuable information
Thank You
I am usually disappointed in store brands. Recently bought store brand sweet cherkins and there is no comparison to the other major brands, And canned peaches have to be almost smashed with a fork because of bits of pits.
I agree but the one exception is Costco, Kirkland products never fail to amaze me! We actually prefer their coffee over other brands!
Loved this !
Great video
👍
Excellent ❤
Great video ❤
Very very very very very very good video and you are right I am trying but me and hubby are fighting about it😊
That's rough. Love him. Pray for him. Hearts soften and miracles happen through kindness and love.
So good! ❤
Thanks
❤❤❤
Ty!
I want Leisa and Kylene to collaborate on a recipe with Ugly Chicken and Chocolate 😂.
That could be fun!
@@TheProvidentPrepper Ugly chicken in dark chocolate mole sauce!
With so many living paycheck to paycheck they see the freeze dried foods sold for emergency as prepping and too expensive. Not realizing tuna, other canned meats, veggies last for years and easy to rotate. I am disabled and on disability, it's taken two plus years to get 3 plus months prepped.
I just stocked what can be eaten out the can, we always have can corn and green beans. Baked beans, ravioli ( though the spaghetti and meatballs has more calories) low sodium and low sugar cans.
I reuse glass bottles and jars for water.
Just do what you can and it will build up over time.
Those that can do it money wise and don't, just urks me so much. I know people with kids that might have a days worth of bottle water. Rely on tap, that is great but with so many boil notices when the piwer is on, hate to see that with no power.
I'm so proud of the great progress that you have made! 3 months is a great goal to have achieved and you have had to sacrifice and work so hard to get there. I bet you love the peace that it brings. You just keep being a great example to the rest of us!
HI LEISA SO GTSY
be SURE to read WALMART store brand can labels- you will be surprised now-
Jonathan and Kylene- one of your older videos just popped up on my feed, but the channel was "PackFreshUSA". Did you guys grant them permission to use your videos? It was very odd...
When he says when the s*** hits the fan nobody's going to be here to worry about having food but I keep telling him some people might survive
Does he not remember 2020 when the world got real "intresting" real quick.
Yes 2020 no tp yes stocking up on everything is a great idea food for most
Yess I live and Houston and had been dropping some prepping tips for my followers on Instagram right before the storm. I was grateful enough to never lost power but my close family and friends were without power for about a week ❤ now everyone wants me to start a series 😅
