I tried the kewpie mayo because everyone raved about it. To me, it had an artificial taste that was very off putting. I keep a small blanket in my vehicle that always seems to come in handy. In a pinch, I’ll wrap my perishables (or ice cream) in it or throw it over the bags to insulate from the sun.

When I go shopping, I immediately put my bags in my car after I unload the groceries. This keeps them handy at all times. Has worked for years

Hi Becky. I just wanna thank you. When I started watching you, you used the sentence: " Give my self grace" whenever something didn't turn out 100% perfect. Nowadays, you're talking a lot about making your future self happy, and I just wanna thank you so much for those two things. I hate cleaning, but doing something that makes future me happy makes me happy while doing it. And if I didn't make everything on my to-do list, I remember to give myself grace or cut myself some slacks because I might have gotten around to some other stuff. So, thank you for changing my perspective on things and making things more enjoyable, and thank you for entertaining me while doing the dishes. Ps: I hope it all makes sense.

Throw potatoes, peppers and onions on sprayed foil with oil or butter and your seasoning of choice on a marinade day and your clean up reduces to a paring knife and grill utensils! The garage drinks reminds me of my father in law. He always has stocked drinks and candy and food period. He grew up with not much food and runs his adult life very differently. If kids visit, they leave with pockets full. He’s very generous and the kids love it!

How do you say it?

No one person is 100% self suffincent. Even in the 1800s people were going here and there within the community to get the things they needed. Thats how communities thrived. We need to focus on what we can do and source locally whenever possible. Buying local helps to ensure that you have access to food for years to come. Our cow has raised 10km from us and slaughtered 30min from us and sent back to the farm as they have a custom butchershop on the farm. It is so nice to be able to know what they eat, their heritage line and see the whole process from start to finish.

23:40 a tip on the insulated grocery bags. It’s already a necessity to have them or an ice chest here in east Texas when grocery shopping. What I do is hang them on the door nob so that when I leave I cannot forget to put them in my car.

Those hanging baskets are AMAZING. The midnight petunia with the white and lilac is just the perfect mix. Love it.❤

I'm totally with you about sauces. 1/3 of my fridge is filled with sauces. What I love about them is that they can take the same exact ingredients and turn them into a whole different dish. Chicken, noodles, and sauteed veggies, can be an Alfredo dish or that same dish could be an Asian style stir fry. I could use the same ingredients all week but add different sauce and no one in the house would get bored. Which is great when you shop on a budget and can get bulk of something.

Always enjoyable to watch your vlogs Becky, thank-you for letting us hang out with you today.❤

I love it! I was just telling my cousin that I’m going to buy a bunch of stuff I couldn’t grow at the farmers market and practice preserving until I can grow more of my own.. it’s still good!!

I always keep a couple of cooler bags in my car! I use them every time I go to the store, as well as other reusable shopping bags. Once I'm home and have everything put away, the bags get packed back together consolidated into one or two bags and then I put them right back in my car.

We love every kinders seasoning we have ever tried! Their new sauces are delicious as well.

Those petunias are gorgeous!!! Thanks for sharing the tips on basket care. LOVE the baskets you picked.

Similar to the cooler bags (love them, wish I had one) I keep my reusable shopping bags in my car so I always have them. When I empty the bags out I put them by my car keys so the next time I go out to my car, I never forget to put the bags back in my car. This has worked well for me for several years now and I feel proud of limiting my plastic/ paper bag ise

I love how you support your local farmer/supplier!

The Japanese BBQ sauce is SO good! We use it for grilling kebabs with shrimp, chicken, veggies, and pineapple. And in marinades for salmon. Oh and for lunches I’ll put it on a turkey burger with a side of broccoli… it’s one of my favorite things. Publix sells it in a tiny bottle for the same price as the giant one at Costco.

Becky, I just got my sweet meat squash seeds and I am SO excited to plant them!!

The reason you can't keep orchids alive is because grocery store orchids are basically sold already dying. I went down an orchid rabbit hole a few years ago, and in short, orchid roots start to rot and die when they're put in dense, wet soil (in the wild, they don't grow in soil at all, they grow on trees, their roots exposed to the air and absorbing water from rain), but it's cheap to mass produce them in dense, wet soil and expensive to grow and pot them healthily. If you want an orchid that won't die within a few weeks, you need to shell out at least $150 for one that's been grown and potted correctly, but obviously most people don't want to do that, so that's why $16 dying grocery store orchids exist. They're also pretty finicky to care for, so even that $150 isn't guarantee it'll survive and bloom again next year. I love orchids but now seeing all the rows at the grocery store just makes me kind of sad, because these beautiful living things are being sold with the intention of slowly rotting to death.
