Please never stop making videos. I’ve got a 4 year old and a 2 year old and I feel like I’m just starting out my life and could use all the advice you have about literally anything

You have such a comforting presence. ❤️

I would love to see a video on canning,love your food room.

You guys sure are smart to have that stock pile because all the stores are sold out of a ton of stuff right now because of the Coronavirus

The hate your family has been getting for being prepared is unreal. I think you're smart to have supplies on hand. I work in a grocery store in Nova Scotia Canada and our shelves yesterday were bare. Now imagine all these people who are mass buying did this. Thanks for sharing!

Although I am not LDS, I grew up knowing how to be self reliant and we always had stockpiles of basic goods, my mother canned fruits and veggies that were given to us or we picked, and learned how to live on less. It is a good way to live, to be prepared for whatever comes our way. Thank you for your videos, you are a good resource for many new homemakers.

Thank you so much for highlighting the difference between doomsday preppers and simply having enough food to last a couple of weeks. It might not be a natural disaster but as you said, even something like an unexpected job loss can be devastating for some families, especially those who live paycheck to paycheck. There is absolutely no need to have 5 years of toilet paper but a little stocked bathroom will go a long way. This also prevents panic buying/hoarding and reduces anxiety during times of crisis. Huge kudos to you Jennifer!

Can you talk about expiration dates and safe keeping?

I’m 56, my grandparents were pioneers and this was called food storage , we didn’t have a car to get to town, we always had cows etc , because we to had a farm, and a huge garden , huge garden ..taking care of your family, this is being responsible!!

Thank you ! In this time of crisis . I truly hope, everyone has what they need! Love from Ontario, Canada. 💞🌎💞🌎💞

I was raised like that too. But most of all we trust the lord. But we are not to be lazy. Love your video. Thanks for sharing.

I don’t have a relationship w my grandparents so I picture u guys as mine through these videos. 🥺❤️

Whoever sid you had a comforting presence was 100% correct. I was raised like this, as well, out in the country. My mother has been recycling and reusing plastics and other items at lest the last 5 decades of my life.

Your videos make me feel like I'm sitting around a kitchen table listening to my great aunties. So comforting. 💕

Great idea,.peace of mind that you can feed yourself and help others. We must remember the elderly and single moms at this time Let the God in us shine at this time.

Love this family and Grandma especially ty keep teaching us life skills

Hey I can comment now! People have been saying people who prepare are nuts or panickers. I call it being smart.

My 5 yr old saw this and said, "She is SO rich." And all my children gasped when you showed chocolate chips and sugar. 😂

In times like now with the Corona Virus going around, we are prepared if the need be for isolation 💕

I think it's wisdom. 😊😊 Not to live in fear but you never know what life will throw at you. It's always good to be prepared for anything.

My pastor recommends 3 to 6 months emergency fund put away just in case. My parents farmed in 1960s and mom always canned so we'd have food to eat in winter months without making trips to grocery store.

I really appreciate your videos! I've watched Ellie and Jared and also Bonnie since the beginning of their KZfaq time and I always admired their home keeping skills so much. It really nice to see and learn where they get it from and it's really helpful for people like me that doesn't have this sort of role model to teach how to clean or cook or prepare for things by budgeting and creating a stockpile. So thank you so much for creating these videos I'm sure a ton of people find them just as inspiring as I do!

I love the rain barrel idea. It's always a good idea to keep a couple of months supplies even when we are not having a pendemic.

My nan always counselled us to keep up our welfare. Most faithful woman I ever knew. Always listened to the teachings of our prophets and now it will come in handy.

Your voice is so calming, watching your videos eases my mind a bit. Thank you for taking the time to send out videos.

I have a food storage (nothing compared to yours & people I've seen, they'd survive for years lol) mine is tiny, but when this pandemic hit us it meant that we didn't have to go out & no panic buying & we never waste food. I've done a 'top up' shop once & that was terrifying so I was so, so grateful of my supply. We bake cakes & bread & we have a calm home which I know is not the case for so many people. Take care & stay safe 💗

Same! I started making sour dough again 2 months ago, I have 80lbs of flour. I make 2 loaves every other day. I have a pot of soup on. We will have a warm full belly no matter what.

I Thank the Lord for our Prophets past and present. Their continued guidance in these Latter days to prepare us for needful times is so comforting. Love from Phoenix, Arizona

As children we were brought up in Africa as my dad was an engineer. There were no shops, and it was a two day journey to bigger shops. We therefore always had a place in the house that was a store. This included food, bathroom stuff etc. So now with the Coronavirus it is great. Keep well. Love from the UK xx🥰

Thank you!! I appreciate every single video you have out. I'm so thankful you turned on comments so I could tell you how much I appreciate you! But I totally understand why you had them off, or at least imagined your reasons. I enjoy your channel so very much!

I was raised by my great Aunt and grandmother. This is how they stored food and how they lived. I moved abroad and these people look at me like I'm crazy. Since this pandemic, my husband is coming on board with what I'm doing.

Grandma Griffiths I am so glad you made this video, I was hoping for one from you as well. I have seen all your children’s posts or Instagram posts as well on their food storage. I am the same age as Bonnie, and I have food storage as well. I love the way you do these videos as if you were talking to your own kids. It’s VERY comforting watching your videos, please keep them coming! 💜

I always appreciate your videos. You are a mom to many! God bless you!

I love watching your channel. It is so nice to watch a christian family .

During this tough time it’s so nice to watch your video and forget what’s going on around us! You have brought me some peace in this difficult time! Thank you for sharing 💗

Just wanna say thank you for all your posts on here. Its like coming home. I miss my mother, grandmother, and mother in law so very much and you help me so much. Love you guys!!!

I LOOOOOVE seeing storage rooms & food storage and things like that. Thanks for this video and all of your advice!! I am a young mom (my baby is only 2 months old) and I so appreciate all of your advice and helpful videos because it gives me somewhere to start! :) You are awesome!

I love all your tips and advice! And as a mom of 4, I am so thankful for those that have been there, raised their families, and that are happy to share their knowledge and tips!

Oh Jennifer! you are so great at encouraging everyone. I'll tell you right now that we, me and my sisters and even brother were not taught to have this mind set of having enough on hand. we could have afforded to, but my sweet Mom was a live in the moment kind of woman. Of course now she has lots of food but that's a good thing. I have shared this video with many women because I don't think there is enough of this mindset. I'm going to clear some spaces for a different kind of storage now! and also I loved the fact that you encouraged us to have enough to help out others. That is what we are taught to do! Thanks for a great video!

You know what Grandma , u are sooooooooooooo amazing!! 😊 🤝🏿

Thank you for keeping traditions alive. We tend to live going to the store as we want and buying what we need for when we need it rather than buying for the future.

I’m obsessed with your videos! I love to hear how you plan, organize, clean etc. I get so inspired to do the same for my family and my house! I’d love to see more of how you organize and also more recipe videos. Not just from the cookbook but in general, your take on stuff. Your tips and tricks on how you bake/cook to get the best out of something. Can’t wait to see your next video! Love from Sweden

Love the video! I’d love to see a canning video too later this year. Thank you so much for sharing how you do your food storage.😊

Thank you for taking the time to do the video and sharing information.

I really love this video because, so many people live for today and never think about a hardship that could hit tomorrow. They would expect the others to feed them if they lost their job or became ill.

You have such a calming presence. Thank you for making this video- makes me think to be more prepared

You are so calming and peaceful. Thank you

You are very comforting, thank you for this and your channel!💕

You’re so sweet to watch. Love watching your daughters’ videos too!

What a wonderful family! So glad I can across your stories ! God sent you guys my way ! God bless you

You bring me a lot of peace Jennifer… I’m your age but was never taught this way. I grew up in Scotland so maybe it’s the culture. But everything you say in your videos makes so much sense…🥰

Thank you for this! Having extra so we may help others is truly a blessing. ❤️

Oh my gosh! Comments are open! So happy you shared your tips!! ❤️ love watching your videos GmaGriff!!

I love watching everyone’s vlogs on food storage. It gives me so many ideas. Thanks for sharing.

You are adorable and sweet! Thank you for the video💜

I know this is a few years ago, but I had to watch and see your storage room! We moved to the PNW and we miss our storage room that we had in Utah so much. It looks like yours. 😊 It was cold in the winter and cool in the summer. Perfect for food storage! We use half our walk-in closet to store our wheat, beans, lentils, olive oil and sugar, now. Our son's bed frame is also made of buckets of wheat! We just put a board on top of the bucket lids, a non slip layer like gets used in cupboards, and a cloth to protect the matress from the board. The cloth also doubles as a bed skirt and covers the buckets on the sides. 😅 Thanks for showing your storage room!

I’m glad you are prepared!!! Growing up and now we were raised in the lds church!!!and were always taught to put away for such as a time like now😳but my faith is in our savior!!!p.s love your channel!!!

What a comfort you are. Please continue to make these videos. I grew up hungry and as an adult I have stocked the essentials. I am not a good cook but your belly will be full and warm.

I’m happy you have enabled the comments!☺️ please stay safe during this time! Much love from California 💛

Woohoo I can comment now. Thank you! I just wanted to tell you that I think your family are such amazing, lovely people. You have raised beautiful respectful children and have such gorgeous grand babies. I live in Australia and found you guys a few months ago and have had a lot of health challenges but your family have cheered me up when I watch your videos. Always make me smile. Thank you for that. I also got a lot from your cleaning and house maintenance tips too. God bless x

I think you are very comforting as well. I’m not Mormon, but I grew up with girls/families that were, and they always kept extras on hand, to be self-sufficient. They could also help out others. I try to keep my pantry the same. Not nearly as well as you with flour/wheat, etc... but it has come in handy helping out my sister. The Lord has given me a giving heart, and I love being able to help others, as well as able to fix suppers for my family.

Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity to learn about that is true and important!!

You're so awesome, I'm grateful to learn from your experiences. Thank you!

I love your videos, they're very helpful. I never knew either of my grandparents so it's nice to watch your videos imagining they were like you :) Like another person mentioned, we would love a video on expiration dates on home made sauces, etc. x

I just wanna say, I just always feel so encouraged at the end of any of your videos. Thank you for always sharing, and sharing more lately!

Nice one grandma Griffiths I love your storage room

That's what my grandmother always said. Maybe you save for a rainy day. I always hadve a well stocked pantry and my husband make me some cupboard in the basement, so I always packed can stuff there. So, you never have to worry about food. Especially when you have young kids and they get sick you don't need to run to the store to find things all the time. YOu have very sound advice. thank you for your wisdom.

I just love your videos! So warm and comforting! One of my favorites was the Sunday pot roast dinner. I wanted to go over to your house for dinner! You and Chad are just wonderful people!

I always enjoy your “bits” of wisdom ❤️. Tfs

I love it when we can comment on your videos. Thank you so much for sharing this video!!!

Yay comments are on!, your videos are so comforting. TY.

Our family is the same way! I married a farm boy and he thought me to stock up when things are on sale & we have 2 deep freezers full of meats & lots of chocolate chips! ❤️

Hi Jennifer! I am so glad you have comments turned on!!! Thank you for sharing your storage, tip & tricks and positive words. It means a lot. I have always admired how the LDS church educates and takes care of it's members. Over the last few yours I have watched Jordan Paige and Kimmy from She's in Her Apron. Both are LDS members and they have always recommended building a food storage a little at a time for the exact reasons you described. I wish I had followed their advice more. It's never too late though! I'm now going to slowly build a stockpile of food and essentials as I see sales.

This is my FAVORITE video. For so many reasons. Not just the awesome bread ♥️😁

I learned to do this when I lived in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan as a single mother. Living in the rural areas we were the last to get plowed out during a heavy snowstorm. Thankfully it didn't happen to often, but it did teach me to prepare for these times. I now live downstate and my family and friends would laugh at me for my food storage. Today, they are thanking me as we deal with the panic of today's virus. Thank you for posting this! This is very important for everyone to know. If everyone used your advice, we would not have shortages in the stores like we are seeing today! I love your videos and you and your family are amazing! Keep up the great work!

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing!! God bless you and your family.

I have needed advice from a Mom figure through all this craziness and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate and love this video!!! Thank you for sharing your sweet life!!♥️

Thank you grandpa n grandma Griffiths making bread today yeast style just waiting on my yeast...l love your wiseness..from New Zealand.

This is so common to me that I thought everybody had this. Good to know everyone can still learn

YAHOO...I CAN COMMENT! Christmas came early, lol! Love watching your videos...you make me happy. I agree with you about having a few "long shelf life" items always in the house. You could do another "make your own bread" video....that would be so helpful for people that have to stay home due to the coronavirus..or for people that are just doing their bit by only going out if necessary. Just a thought! Bread and pizza dough...two things I make almost every day and I love it. Makes me feel like no matter what happens I can keep food on the table. Sorry. I'm yapping away...just excited to be able to talk with you. Finally! 😍

Thank you for this video, Jennifer! I love all your videos, you do have a calming presence and such wisdom!

I watched one of Ellie & Jareds videos years ago where she showed her food storage & it was eyeopening . My Husband is in the military and we have been through a few govermnet shutdowns that didnt last long but we have had to dip into our food storage from time to time . Times like this we are so grateful for it we were in and out of the stores in 30 min two weeks ago just getting a few things we needed to tide us over & the amount of peace as Dave Ramseys says has been amazing . Thank you for all you & your family share you truly have impacted lives for the better I think more than you know.

You are such a gem. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

Hi Jennifer~you are so comforting!~❤

I just found your channel today 😊 Very cozy home and very nice pantry!! I love that you and Chad are so sentimental because we need that these days 💜

I like having some extra things on hand too. Yes, if we’re in a pickle, get snowed in or, heaven forbid, we have another pandemic and the grocery store shelves are a bit bare we can all eat whatever is available if hungry enough. But, it’s nice to have some variety in your diet if it’s possible. It’s also nice to have some chocolate chips, vanilla, brown sugar, or maybe just a couple extra brownie mixes on hand too. 😊 That’s very nice. It’s also great to be able to share with others.

Thank you for your sharing words of wisdom! ❤️🙏

I just love spending time listening to you!!

Can I just say I was never so glued to a video as much as I just did, I live in Ireland in a small two bedroom house with a garage made into the house, the garage has tools and a work bench my chainsaw and a push bike and lots more, we are both 60 years of age and just passed 40 years been married, we like yourselves are going through the Coronavirus 19, never again will I waste good storage space, I am now starting to clear the garage out and make shelves, so I can buy that little extra each week to stock against what just happened, people panic buying and not much left for me and my wife Jean. I will start this from tomorrow thanks to watching your video thank you so much, you made me open up my eyes.

We live in a hurricane prone area so every summer for several years we have made sure to stock up on certain items. We carry that idea through the year so we do have a pantry of goods built up now. And when we use an item from our stockpile, we replenish. I guess I kind of consider myself to be a bit of a "prepper" because I think it's a very wise idea to prepare for whatever might come. I even have some freeze-dried foods on hand. It certainly doesn't hurt. Thank you for sharing your ideas

Love to c such a stunning Store....1960 Chads Drum vow....Love it

I think what you’re doing is wonderful & very helpful! God bless you & your precious family.

Oh wow, you guys are surely prepared!!! Blessings to you and your family!!

All that you are saying is very true. The world is going through something right now, so saving is a very good thing. Thanks so much for the video.

It is comforting to know you can cover your family’s basic needs. I was able to walk friends through near-empty grocery stores and show them how to use little make filling meals. I grew up in a farming community, so we joke that a little flour, salt, and shortening is all you need. Truly, I pray that when things get better, we can focus on teaching families how-and -what to stock in their “food rooms”. (That is what we call ours.) Blessings!

I already commented but I forgot to add that all your videos inspire me to do better in my home and sometimes just give me the inspiration I need to just do it! Every single one I watch, there is something in there that motivates and inspires me so thank you for that too!

Thank You for your sweet and calm advise. Blessings 😍

I think Grandpa Chad will be designing Ruby's storage room ❤️ Hope you guys will be doing canning videos this time. I love to see whole family together.

I was taught this as well growing up .my grandparents canned food ...I have some stuff but yes it helps .thank u

It's scary pray for the older and those with predicting conditions.
