I so agree!

This! ⬆️⬆️

Absolutely, the only thing missing is the tea or coffee and a small-ish slice or 2 of Becky's Pumpkin pie Mmmmmm...... So, what time are we going shopping next time??? LxX

I totally agree!

@@lesley-annmaggs15 COUNT ME IN!! Sounds so lovey. I’m new to the channel, and I totally agree that I feel like I could sit right down with Becky, and all of you as well!!

Wow that’s cool. Thank you so much for the information

So, I have been throwing scrap paper and junk mail into my compost bin. Sometimes I put shredded paper in there. Does that ruin the compost?

@@whatshername369 I have heard you don’t want anything with a shiny coating or anything with ink on it.

I had no idea, so thanks for sharing that info! This is one reason I like to read the comment section- love it!

Thanks for the info. And no it's not too much.

Very likeable, be prepared, very Wise...who knows what them senile folks in Whitehouse are doing. I'm out & about see the people in the long lines, I stopped be noisy ask "Whats going on?", girl they were getting all the Free food: Spinach, salads, celery, carrots, bellpeppers, apples, mangoes, whole pineapples, different kinds can goods, etc. They had pushcarts, bags, wagons overflowing with Free. Glanced & Noticed dates on can goods were dated til end 2022-2024..uhmmm

Hi Becky's mom, you should be proud of Becky. She just does her thing, and brings us in that ends up encouraging! I love watching Becky & it's a treat when she cooks & stuff with her family like you & her sisters. Beautiful family!

If you don't have a basement with racking, you could consider consolidating your linen in stackable plastic containers to allow space for dry goods and canning. I had to get creative when COVID hit.

I have 2 cabinets in my kitchen I can dedicate to food. 😭 so excited to live out my pantry dreams here. ❤️

Everyone has more space then they realize, underbeds, closets, cabinets even if in the living room, use extra space for double duty.

Yes her pantry is very nice👍👍👍

Same! Looking forward to getting out of our one bedroom apartment, we have used every storage area we have, our empty jar store is behind the couch 😂😂

And enough food for another ten

I agree. I would add that fermented feed works great until hard freeze, just a note to those interested. Set out for an hour or so for the ladies/gents, then bring in to thaw for evening feed.

I soak all my chicken feed and my girls Ive noticed waste a lot less. I add apple cider vinegar to their drinking water and the bonus of that is they never struggle with red mites or bugs of any kind on them

Oh yeah!

It’s also really good cooked in with a pot of beans like white beans :-)

My sister said the same. I bought one but my husband won't let me install it.

@@desert_moon Well, you should install it and use it(it is SO easy to install). Your husband doesn't have to use it. It's optional. Your toilet will still function the same. It's "business as usual", without turning it on.

@@desert_moon divorce is the answer...x

You can make your own hooking a spayer to your cut off valve with less cost.

Yesssss Tushy!!!

$250.00? That’s not cheap.

Same! Her energy is contagious.

Bulk buying means less for other people

@@lh7501 that's why there are bulk stores to buy from, which she did. Minus the TP lol..

@@lh7501 bulk buying means you will have food for several weeks or months. What’s actually causing there to be less things available for other people is NOT having a stocked pantry at home, those are the people that started panic buying at the beginning of the pandemic because they’re not used to having any type of stock at home so they rush to the grocery store to buy anything they can get their hands on. I am a bulk buyer, I was probably one of the few people in my whole town who didn’t buy 14 bags if toilet paper last spring because I normally buy it in bulk to last 3-6 months. I also keep a 3 month stock of basics, like pastas, canned food, flour, milk powder, meal kits and anything else with long shelf life. That keeps me out of the store for way longer than those who don’t have stocked pantries. I also don’t buy it all at once, I buy a few things here and there to top up, especially during the pandemic. She literally said in the video she hasn’t gone grocery shopping in two and a half months, so I’m sure that even though she buys larger amounts at once she isn’t causing anyone to go home empty handed. Most grocery stores restock their shelves anywhere from twice a day to 3 times a week, so if you couldn’t find something just go back tomorrow and you’ll probably find what you need. The bulk buyers and meal preppers are definitely not the ones who are panic buying, they’re probably the only ones who don’t panic!

@@Eucis93 I agree with you. I buy some things on Amazon in the bulk package they sell. That's what costco and all warehouse stores are about. Less trips to the store. Not hoarding

Oh good!

Yes, we have Aldi & Lidl here in the UK. Massive game changer! Over the course of a few years we've tried their own brand and also brands that they've sold from locally produced suppliers. I'm not kidding, we've saved an absolute fortune, plus the knowledge that we're supporting our UK producers. Great shopping hauls there Becky, thanks for making the effort to share with us xx

I saw a review on the Scott, Kroger, Walmart and Aldi 1000 sheet rolls and the Scott and Walmart were the only 2 that were certified septic safe. I will look and let you know, if I can find it, fingers crossed, lol!

They're here in the Pacific Southwest already, I'm sure they're on their way up to you guys 😊

I think there already there at least undercover as Trader Joe's is also part of Aldi.

I personally feel like bidet is a better option i mean youre using water to wash the cloth anyway so using a bidet attachement to wash yourself skips that step time money storage of having cloths and loo roll! I mean i was cloth nappys as was every gen before me since disposible wasnt available for them so im all for that for babies and periods but for toilet usage it doesnt make sense. I mean some women even skip nappies for their babies and try to predict when theyll use their nappy and let them go in the sink the air tends to stimulate them or you can run water over them and thatll do the trick. Bonus no cleanup of baby no smelly nappies no wipes. Even if it werent more eco friendy its defs cheaper! My family tends to let the toddlers who arent loo trained go nude in the backyard and just hose em off before coming indoors which given the dirt etc theyd need anyway. Granted we have a rural life such things wouldnt necessarily fly in some areas no matter how secure your yard.

A bidet is much better than that. The thought of having to wash human waste is 🤮 and i have cloth diapered babies. Even their diaper are absolutely rancid.

Oh I agree totally! I was thinking the exact same thing.

I’d love to see this as well! Super useful!

Oh, I love to see the girls roaming & foraging around her garden. Great Idea! I'd love to see more chicken videos. I loved Becky sharing how Josh saved their chicken that was attacked & had it's lung punctured. Josh is such a handsome kindhearted young man! They make an attractive couple & they complement each other so well. I wish they would do more videos of the things they're both working on wether together or separately. I'll give you and Becky a laugh (I hope she reads this): We buy organic pasture raised eggs from Vital farms & when I make eggs & turkey sausage links, toast & coffee, I go to the farm that's listed by the best by date on my phone & we will watch the chickens foraging, talking to each other & taking dirt baths & it just makes my mornings that much better & puts smiles on both of our faces 😁🥰. I love watching the chickens & seeing Becky's face light up when she sees bunnies in her garden 😁. Sometimes I miss my little farm & I remember how much time & work I did & I'm amazed at all the things I have done in my life & still able to do (nowhere near what I did as a young woman, but I keep trying. Lol ❣ 😆 . I never seem to give up, but I pay for it the next day or so 🥲🤷‍♀️. Late last night I just finished making candied citrus peels ( orange, tangerine, & lemons with extra lemon juice) I cut them all into strips & gave myself a blister, then cooked off the 1st batch of water & drained that off & added more filtered water & I saved that water after draining & added 2 1/2 cups of reserved cooking liquid to equal parts of pure water & = parts organic sugar & cooked it down to almost the desired thickness I wanted , then added all the drained peels to it & cooked it till the simple syrup was the desired thickness I like & the peels tasted delicious❣ We like to put this on many things, mostly plain Greek Fage' yogurt, lemon tea, & vanilla icecream Yummy❣ I've been seeing the prices going up on our organic citrus, so I wanted to make sure I had plenty. Yhis is tge 2nd batch I've done within 2 weeks of each other. I'm done. Lol ❣ Now I have to order dome freezedried fruit, vegetables, & powdered eggs to last us a while. Thank you for reading my ramblings 🤭😁 God bless us all with good health. Amen.

@@robynm7221 Chickens are such characters, aren't they? If Becky would consider sharing more of them on the channel, I think quite a few of us would love it!

@@MC-ko2mx I know the both of us would for sure❣🤗👍🙋‍♀️

Chickens are characters as on person commented. My brother had a banty hen he would sneak in the house and she would roost on the end of his bed frame. She liked to play the piano in his room. We would hear the plinking on the piano and yell to tell him to knock it off. When it continued we went in his room. He was asleep and the chicken was plinking up and down the keyboard. She loved it. Lol.

@@teresatrump8366 A piano playing chicken - love it!

If you know someone that has a business try a staples preferred account to piggy back off of. TP can be as little as $5.99 They often have stock the stores don't.

This is a game changer! How much starter discard?

Coming soon!!

@@AcreHomestead I just got my bottles, labels, and vanilla, still have to purchase the liquor to make vanilla extract. So excited to give as little gifts this Christmas! Thanks for that video!

This is just a joke because i know lemon balm has terrific benefits but I as I read this I thought- A shot of vodka? I'll try it, who needs the lemon balm! lol

The smell of lemon balm when you rub it against your fingers has a natural mood booster. I just love lemon balm.

Winco is awesome! I just moved from Oregon to Texas, closest one is 3+ hours away :( I haven’t found anywhere else to get my 25lb bag of oats for $15….

Winco has the best prices! I go there easily 1 to 2 times a month 😁

You are so welcome!

Exactly, its name basically is "ashwa" meaning 'horse' in sanskrit and "gandha" meaning 'smell' which it does smell like. 😅😅 My dad tried making tea from its sticks and hated the smell😅.

May I ask how do you can it? Do you add something to it, or perhaps after canning it must be kept at a certain temperature?

Canning milk??? WHAT!! Mind blown!

@@nikiclark6158 Right? I knew you could freeze milk but I'd never heard of canning it. The added plus is that it also counts as evaporated milk so it's an even bigger cost save for me.

Canning milk is NOT recommend & is "rebel canning" Rain tree on KZfaq has a recent video on making dry milk by dehydrating store bought milk.

@@merriii8505 No, you just let the milk sit out until close to room temp, pour it in the jars leaving an inch or 1/2 inch head space, clean the rim, and put it in the pressure canner. You keep the wait off and wait for steam to come out of the valve and time it for 10 minutes. Then you put the weight on and wait until it reaches the poundage for your altitude (I'm low dessert so 11 pounds by gauge for me). Once it reaches the pressure needed then you turn off the heat and let it cool until zero. Then you just remove the jars to cool. Disclaimers: The USDA doesn't recommend home canning milk anymore. However, it has been done successfully and it is up to the individual whether you're comfortable to do it. I did a lot of research before doing this and found that certain conditions need to be met in order for the canning to be successful: - Only use a pressure canner. No hot water bath canning. - Use pasteurized milk for longer shelf life. You can use raw milk but I've concluded that it's not as shelf stable as pasteurized milk as the bacterial count in raw milk varies quite a bit. If you choose to use raw milk you should be ready to consume the canned milk within a year. -Canned milk tastes better with lower fat milks as the canning carmelizes the fat and concentrates flavor. So 2% will act like whole milk, etc. You can use whole milk but just be ready for different flavor. - The canned milk needs to be stored in a dark, cool environment for a longer shelf life. UV rays and higher temperatures seem to have a negative impact on canned milk due to the jars being clear. I haven't tried canning with Amber jars as they're much too expensive for me use for large canning sessions. My great grandmother used to paint her jars or cover them in paper sleeves after canning to block sunlight but I haven't gone that far. I just store my jars in a hall closet which has a door and is near my ac. Here is a link to the recipe I used for my milk: ladyleeshome.com/how-to-can-milk/

And I'm curious about toothbrush recommendations!

Tom's worked just as well as sensodyne for us and provided good check ups but we already have enough fluoride in our water. It didn't clean gum line as well though, noticing breath difference. More brushing.. Curious about Becky opinion being a hygienist.

Me too! So glad she spoke on that. What would your toothbrush recommendations be Becky?

I like Dessert Essence. Toms has that zylo what ever its called in it and leaves a yukky taste in your mouth.

We're a dental family too and Ive also been on a rollercoatser w my teeth my entire life so I'll just throw in my 2 cents here. I lost 6 teeth by the time I was 25(and had a root canal and cavitations cause sepsis and nearly kill me) but have tested/changed a lot of things and healed my teeth/body and haven't lost any more, or even had a cavity, for a decade! I would say the biggest game changer was getting a water flosser. Eliminating fluoride has also been helpful in both the dental and health dept. I make our Toothpaste and mouthwash sometimes but my favorite otc paste is seven minerals Charcoal tpaste. Hello brand also makes a good one that is available at most big stores. Xylitol is also great for teeth(I'm not a fan of eating it though bc it can cause GI issues but my kids do like Dr John's candies). I'd say that your dental routine is just a fraction of dental health though bc the majority of what determines it is your diet and microbiome. Sugar doesn't just sit on teeth and rot them, but it does require minerals to be pulled from bones and teeth to digest it, and also feeds acid-producing bacteria so it doesn't matter how well you brush if your diet/microbiome isn't ideal. When my teeth were weak, brushing too much was causing even more damage but addressing it from the inside out and investing in a water flosser is what got me out of the dental downward spiral. Hope this helps someone!

Try using pasta sauce jars from friends and buy the lids and caps. It worked for me. Our feed store also had some inventory.

Shaunette, check your local walmart! They've had them the last couple days!

Kroger has Classico Pasta sauce for .97 a jar! The jars say "atlas mason" on them and are a pint and a half size. Regular size lids fit perfectly.

@@pjk1714 Thank you! I'll check it out!

@@wvmountainmomma5696 Walmart is always out of jars here. I'll try the Pasta Mason jars. Thanks! We can't find lids here either. Luckily I have some from before the pandemic.
