    I just started watching Miss Phyllis about 7 months ago. I love her videos and was so sorry when Mr. Bucky passed and she declined in health. As a tribute to her life since she passed, I'm catching up and watching her videos. She was amazing. I learned so much from this one alone. God bless you Miss Phyllis. You will live on through these wonderful videos.

    Guess what ? I only just discovered her two days ago . I was looking at her video about the lime Jell-O and cream cheese dessert , the second video was the one of her introducing herself ... the third one I saw after that was where she explains she has not been feeling good and needs to get surgery on her liver . I started reading the comments on the third one where people were saying she's going in for surgery today . And then I saw a couple comments where people were asking how she's been since the surgery . And then I saw a comment , somebody said rest in peace . I just couldn't believe it ... plus I saw they had made a comment about her joining Bucky in heaven.... so then I looked at the more recent ones with her son talking about her death and then the ones where she talks about what happened after the surgery and how Mr Bucky died . So it was weird looking at them after I knew she died.... have you seen the ones in the category of stories ? Like the one about the rooster or the turtle or the black snake or how she and Mr Bucky met ? I like Phyllis and Mr Bucky a lot..... but I do wish I had discover them earlier

    This is amazing. Can you believe that when I was six my mom used to go dumpster diving for fresh fruits and veggies. She came to America and was working as a maid and we were living in a room so we never had any extras. Mom would finish her cleaning jobs and go to the grocery stores and would request to get the bruised tomatoes and the nectarines and peaches. Can I tell you that I learned a lot about saving from this. Yes, we were not rich, but we happy with our lightly bruised veggies and fruits. So, I can truly say that the experience has taught me to waste not and to cherish everything! Thanks for sparking these priceless moments. Keep Sharing Love you much! Please tell Mr. Bucky I said Hello.

    It's amazing the things we do when we age. Really, things we'd never even think about doing when we were younger. I get computers people are throwing away, rebuild them and give them to disabled people so they can get on the internet and communicate with the world. Would I have ever gone up to someone's house and asked if I could have something out of their trash when I was younger? Oh no. There are seven computers here right now that either have been repaired, are in repair/rebuild process or "ain't got to it yet". There's only been one person who actually later on asked how their broken computer did and when I told them it worked like a new one, the look on his face was crestfallen. He said "you mean you fixed that? I took it in for repair and they couldn't do anything with it." Well, the long and short of it is this -- when ya gotta make do, you can make do very well. Cheers to you Phyllis and Mr. Bucky! I doubt I would have been brave enough to admit to dumpster diving on a youtube! Ya gave this old "trash day" gal some courage! :)

    This was a very inspiring and informational video. So many people are living lifestyles way beyond what they can afford, then wonder why they're in financial trouble. Just today I had a call from a friend who wanted my opinion on whether to get Social Security at 62 or wait until 65. He said he was running into financial trouble on several different fronts. I suggested he cut back on his lifestyle. He has a trip to Hawaii planned and he eats out virtually every lunch. He golfs, attends concerts and just finished losing a lot of money in day trading. He said that his cat had gotten sick, and it cost about $1,200 by the time it was over. He said if another cat of his got sick, he wouldn't be able to afford it. I told him he cannot have it both ways, and that he would have to get real about where his priorities lie. I have had to do the same thing, and have lived a frugal existence for a long time. Just because you have the "extra" money only means you should save it, not spend it. Tomorrow you could fall and break your leg, be out of work with no insurance, or get in a car wreck. It happens. But people resist this , as it's "no fun." Well, either is moving back to your parent's house, or moving in with your kids, because you can't afford yourself any more, and there are no savings. Thanks again for a great video. Frugality is an art.

    I used to dumpster dive when I lived in upscale complexes in suburbs of Chicago. Rich people throw away really nice things! I sold these finds at large area flea markets and came home with a 100% profit. I would repair electronics,appliances,refinish furniture and many other items that needed some tweaking/improvement. I loved dumpster diving! I live in a quiet country town now, so not much for good finds here. So I can relate to "Dumpster Diving"!

    Look forward to hearing more on the tiny house. I took care of my mom for many years through alzheimers. When she passed I could no longer afford our mortgage payment. Sold our beloved home, bought another in a less desirable city. No mortgage, never had cable or dish. Use Netflix or movies from the library. No internet. It feels great to be debt free but hate where I am living. I coupon and grow food for my self, family and our community. We can all be debt free if we want it bad enough.

    Not ashamed to say that i have shopped at thrift stores and dumpster dived, still thrift shop, and would probably dumpster dive again if I could come across a good one, crazy what some places throw away, tell you truthfully it saved my butt raising my kids, usually found what we were needing at the time, but I know that that would be Our Father that was placing what we needed in our path, agree with you on the money it takes to eat out, getting crazy expensive, you guys have similar life experiences with us, you have a lot of good ideas I need to try, really appreciate your content Mrs Phyllis, take care and God bless you and your family

    You can get the sauce they put on Big Macs without having to buy a Big Mac (although I love them too). The sauce is called "Mac Sauce". Next time you go get your Big Mac, ask for some packets of Mac Sauce! Maybe even instead of getting a Big Mac, get a dollar burger and ask for Mac Sauce and put it on your burger. It's also great with French Fries!

    Ms Phyllis you are amazing, such a beautiful personality and very smart. I wish I could live closer to meet you. I just love your videos, so many people get older and waste their sunset days. I am 58 years old and just retired. I had been feeling a bit useless but you inspire me. Right now I am recovering from knee replacement and my down time I found you, thank God. As soon as I can I will start my new life, already started to write children books for my grandkids with them as the main characters. Also booked a cruise with friends. I am thinking to start a utube channel.

    Miss Phyllis, you are such an interesting woman with diverse talents. We do a lot of things you and Mr. Bucky do, but I realize I need to think about adjusting my spending strategies to reflect a little bit more frugality. I loved the day trading story and the way you managed to talk the young produce man into allowing you to take away the produce. I volunteer at our county food pantry and it breaks my heart how much is thrown away that could be feeding people in need. Keep making these kinds of videos as your common sense approach to life is so refreshing and illuminating. Hugs, Judy

    SCsweettea You said how I feel about Phyllis' videos. My Great Gram raised 2 kids, alone, on the wages of a Woolworth's Store Employee. She canned, baked, put up donated produce and fresh fruit. She swapped recipies with the ladies at church. She sewed, crocheted, wove her own cloth. Her family ancestry was Mennonite and Dunkards. She set a wonderful example for the next generations of us all. The old ways are tradition now and, it's always helped us get by with what we have. Thank you, Phyllis, for your recipies, stories and, sharing experiences. I do enjoy your company. 😊💕

    I love to your channel. I lost my mom's last year . Mrs Phyllis you sound just like her. I'm from SC so a lot of your recipes are very familiar. I'm a simple home cook. We are very much alike in our style of country cooking. I loved the creamed chipped beef episode it reminded me of this meal my mom cooked A Lot corned beef hash we always had Mac and cheese,sweet peas,and a can of hungry jack biscuits. I loved this meal until my brother told me we were poor and MoMA was feeding us dog food. l just thought that would make you laugh. I love ❤️😘 your channel. You are so down to earth. It makes me smile to hear your voice. God bless you and your family.

    My daughter dumpster dives and they do not give it to pantries in NC. For two years my freezer was full because a friend was offered "expired" meat. He sold it almost free and it really helped us out. It was a local Save a Lot and sadly they have gone out of business. Some places actually dump bleach on products put in the dumpster so that it is rendered useless. We still get some from dumpsters and I don't turn it down. Living on social security, I need all the help I can get. It really upsets me to think that people are hungry when they are throwing out food. I am smart enough to know expiration dates are suggested. I grew up poor and knew how long things last.

You and Mr.Bucky are not only sweet in spirit, peaceful, gentle yet wise and strong , you are very intelligent and your husband has been an educator with a doctorate ! I feel as if you are in my front room this evening visiting with me. Thank you! Oh my goodness! Clothes from Walmart! Here I sit in my "White Stag" clothing, which is cute, fits well, wash well and affordable! I requested the extra ripe bananas from a local grocery store and they would NOT give them to me...these money saving tips are REALLY helpful to me!

    If you want to be able to watch your tv, they now have antennas that look a little like a mouse pad. All you do is hook it up and tape to a wall or window. Costs about $20.00 for a mediocre one at WalMart or order online for a real fancy one that costs about $40.00. The fancy new one is suppose to get over 100 channels. I've not got mine yet but tried rabbit ears and it works great! Saved me about $100.00 a month!!! Wheee!
