I found your channel about 4 months ago. My husband and I are your ages and we love watching your videos. I have made several of your delicious recipes and when you go shopping I feel like I am walking right beside you. The Sunday devotional time is precious. Never think that your time making the videos is not appreciated. I would love it if you were my relative or neighbor. God bless you both.

I like these prepping haul videos. My husband is retired on SS; I am on SSDI but I usually try, as our budget permits, to add or order a few things extra or just double up on a some things during our normal grocery shopping. I also try to purchase a 6-count or 12 count case of some sort of canned goods each month, so we can have a stockpile on hand in case of emergency. Like y'all, we're not doomsday preppers, but we have been iced in, or without transportation, or just in bad health, with the flu or something, and unable to go shopping like we normally would. Add to that the fact that we are 15 miles from the closest grocery store and we would be up a creek, without our emergency pantry. By having a couple months worth of non-perishables foods and household goods on hand, we've never had to worry about running out of stuff, even when the pandemic first hit and panic buyers were wiping out the shelves faster than the trucks could bring the goods to the stores.

Saw your channel today and subscribed. I am a 70-year-old single living on Social Security only from my work history. I am fortunate to have a paid for mortgage low utilities and am I able to put 20% into savings every month. I am a person that has stocked up for many years shopping markdown meat and whatever else I can find in markdown or clearance shopping this way has helped me save money and allowed me to stock up. I'm not much of a Walmart shopper I feel I do better shopping at Kroger or Schnucks because of the way I shop. I was surprised to see you did not check expiration dates I do this often finding longer expiration dates to the back of the Shelf

I love it! Watched the Walmart haul from a few months ago also. This is so smart. Grocery / pantry staples are a must and it's just good dollars & cents to buy at a retailer like Walmart for things that you would pay more for elsewhere when you are in a pinch. Example: low on Blue Plate and run down to The Pig. You will pay more! I typically do a "pantry haul" every 2 to 3 months and then I do a weekly order at Walmart. I also shop The Pig, Kroger, and Aldi for specific things that week that I can get cheaper than Walmart based on sales ads. My entire meal plan is based on budget so I have to be smart. Again, can't tell you how much I adore this.

I make my own brownie mix it makes a 8x 8 pan which is just right for me and my husband. It’s just takes 1 cup of sugar 1/2 of AP flour 1/3 cup cocoa 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder. When you get ready to bake it you just add 2 eggs and 1/2 cup oil and a tsp of vanilla. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. I make up a bunch of bags. You can add chocolate chips and nuts to the dry mix. I’ve make these bags up and give them for Christmas gifts.
