Grocery haul / homestead gathering ♡

[Music] hi guys okay I have been asked several times about doing a grocery haul and it's really hard for me to do a grocery haul because I'd really don't do grocery hauls and when I say that this is what I I mean I buy buy bulk and buy my book I put a lot I don't hardly buy any like canned goods or anything from the stores because I can my own I put my own vegetables and you know just anything that would pertain to your staples in your in your pantry I don't buy cream of chicken soup cream of mushroom soup I make my own it's just I just don't carry that kind of stuff I just make my own so most of my stuff is homemade canned preserved we do our own mate and because I buy buy a bulk online and I have it shipped straight to my door I just don't spend a lot of time in the grocery store but every once in a while like this weekend I needed to and you know it was kind of fun cuz I hadn't been in a while but also I live about 3540 minutes to the closest big grocery store so it's just not something you do a lot but I just want to share it with you because okay I've had some requests you know on grocery hauls course mine would be boring so I just never did do it for the fact that I don't do grocery hauls very often - so Miss Adele my soul sister from Australia that's miss videos for you so we're gonna start down here now this I was excited with because they this bread the it's got today's date on it and I know that probably by tomorrow it's gonna be even cheaper probably half a with this day but I won't be in town tomorrow but there is all kinds of bread here that they put on sale and I I looked through it and found the ones that I knew that I would be using like this is your French bread and I mean I can use this for french toast just in anything this right here has already got the herbs and the garlic on it and this is the same way it's garlic and herb topped bread and this one's got different herbs and stuff on it I mean most of them like this look right here got second seeds it's just a French bread with sesame seeds on there were six or seven cents so what I'll do with all this I'll take them out of the wrapper that they're in and I'll wrap them real good and put them in the freezer because all this bread won't last a long time in the freezer and this right back here was so wheat severals and there were two dollars and I'll separate these out too and put them in the freezer and me mr. Brown I mean this right here left us a couple months I'll just take out what I need out the freezer so all this bread was on sale and so I just loaded up on it I'm putting the freezer like I said it'll last us a good while even when the kids come overnight like tomorrow for instance today's Alison's party my youngest daughter and tomorrow I'm gonna make her chicken alfredo and a big salad and I'm a micro mountain dew cakes that's her favorite and I'll use a couple of these because I'll have several here and I'll just cut up a couple these employee have some bread with the chicken off right out by this spread right here for mr. Brown and I'll tell you what I do want to buy the spread like this is I will have it and I'll put some in the freezer so it's more or less gonna be like half whoa in him because we don't eat a whole lot of bread during the week but when we do I want him to eat this he likes this bread and it's hard for being get him to eat wheat bread this is what I buy for him and I'll put some of it in the freezer no less as well now usually by my organic episode of man and girl online but I seen this at Walmart today it's raw unfiltered with the mother and it was not real expensive either so I'm gonna try it I like the kind that I order online but I thought I'd try this I've got the 8 o'clock coffee that's mr. Brown's favorite coffee he takes this to work and he has a coffee pot that work and then I've got I'm gonna make a big salad tomorrow and I found this organic romaine lettuce which is my favorite I love romaine lettuce I even like putting it on sandwiches and hamburgers mr. Brown was out of crackers and I usually buy the individual pack that they had come out with so that we don't waste any but they didn't have any and he likes this brand right here so I got him a box of crackers and I always keep honey made graham crackers not for just the grandkids but me and mr. Brown every once in a while we'll get some and we'll put them in a glass of milk and a in my cereal because I don't buy cereal and we just love graham crackers and of course I need a little bit of mayonnaise we don't eat a lot of mayonnaise but when I do get it for a reason Dukes is my favorite so that's what I bought I've got the I had to get some Parmesan cheese and for making up the Fredo of course I needed some Kobe and Jack cuz I've got a couple of recipes I'll be making this week that I need to Ronnie I was just gonna get coal being just alright Jack but it was cheaper doing it this way so I got that of course mr. Brown loves liver cheese he doesn't eat a lot of processed lunch meat or anything like that every once awhile he likes they were cheese and crackers for his lunch so I broke down and got that for him and there's a couple of things we're going to have this week for uh supper and I plan on making a huge pot of chili out of deer meat and we love chili dogs with coleslaw so this will be easy for me to get in there and grab some and make some coleslaw alder and I buy these little ham slices this is really good ham and it's not too bad priced either this little four dollars and 33 cents and this is going to make mr. brown several breakfast sandwiches because I'll make him some biscuits fried some of us ham and egg and he can take a couple them for his breakfast in the mornings now the one thing I was disappointed they didn't have the big bag of the rice cauliflower so I had to get these two little uns and I'm gonna be making a dish I'm gonna make a video on it's a low carb called Chile it's a Mexican dish I forget the name of it now but anyways a goose rice cauliflower and chilies and stuff like that I'm gonna do a video on it be good I bought another big bag of mixed vegetables because I'm gonna count up some more soup for mr. Brown for his lunches I've got some beer mate in the freezer that needs to be cooked so that'll be good for him to have going on into the winter for his lunches at work the soup made with a fresh deer meat and let's see I got so had to get some milk and I really liked the great value organic but when we drink whole milk here because I know we won't be going to the Mennonites for a while to get raw milk get a big waffle we'd make it over there so when I got how had to get butter I was out of butter my half-and-half I usually I don't keep much of it because I have a if I cook with any kind of milk I have powdered milk and stuff like that that I use to cook with I don't use more granite milk to cook with we drink this and then of course mr. Brown cannot do without his creamer and that's his favorite I've tried different kinds and he don't that's his favorite right there they had these Bolthouse farms they've kept carrot to himself so I got to back to him and I think I want to Ken up some more glazed carrots this week because they were a good price I would share dollars a bag and that's a real good price for these carrots and these are really good carrots the fettuccine I bought three I had to get three small boxes of these because I didn't have a big box and they were a dollar a box so for me to make enough Alfredo tomorrow I had to get three boxes I'm not sure I had enough for everybody and this this organic milks not too bad process 388 but this is the thing I can go to the Mennonites where I buy my raw milk and it's $3 for a whole gallon and it's it's the best milk it'll have the cream on this milk is unreal how thick it is and of course I take most of the cream off the top and we'll make butter and stuff out of it but we'll leave just enough cream in that raw milk and mix it up the milk and drink it and I know it's fattening but I'm telling y'all it's there's nothing any better for you not cured by says I get these for the grandkids this so I'm gonna make like I said Alison it's her birthday someone make her a mountain Dew cake and one of the things that the recipe calls for is a lemon cake mixing some of them call for orange cake mix but I think she likes lemon better so I had to get well of course Duncan Hines is my favorite brand that's where the grandkids and for the the slow carb rice cauliflower cashflow I'm going to make it called for green chilies and I was out of green chilies and I usually buy a cheaper brand but the other brands were either a medium or hot and this was the only ones I find that was mild and of course me mr. Brown are kind of whistles when it comes to hot stuff so I had to pay about Oh probably about 15 more cents a can but you know it'll be okay it's not gonna break and now anytime I go into Walmart I always go ahead and I was gonna go ahead and get me some lids can lids always do that so that always I just throw them in there with my others they had these apples right here and they're from Michigan they're called Paula red anyways there were 98 cents and they look they're really pretty they look like your regular homegrown little apples and usually they are the sweetest and they smell really sweet but at 98 cents I won't even got a bag because I've got some pork I'm gonna cook this week and we love fried apples with pork and I'll probably cut some up and either make some little bit of apple butter or apple pie or something out of them but I'll do something with him at that price and back here I had to break down and I had to buy a big bag of chicken breasts now I have not bought chicken from the store and a long long time probably a year or so I don't remember because my son raises our own pasture chickens and I've got some still in the freezer but I'm making this chicken alfredo for everybody he's gonna take a lot of chicken breasts so I'm not as much as I love my kids I'm not going to use all my good chicken nut for this so I got me a bag of chicken breasts and that's about it from my grocery haul today I didn't really need a whole lot but needed some things for what was going on this week but I was really excited about the bread we won't have to get bread for a while I will probably take like these two loaves here the French the Italian loaf and I'm probably at least one of them I'll cut I'll cut it up and make how my croutons out of it and the kids love that homemade croutons when I make a salad they come over and something I've got a salad they always want ho my croutons and my homemade ranch dressing so that's probably what they'll get tomorrow - it's checking out Friday so for 75 cents I'll get a bunch of ho my croutons I'll fill my jar up with it and of course putting this out in freezer if I decide to make more croutons later I can kind do that with that one too so there's always watching and do with this bread especially want something sell like that this is what I'll do with mr. Brown's honey wheat bread that he likes to heat I go there and I buy several loads now this you'll never find this bread on sale hardly ever the nature genre and Brian hearing longer but it's good bread he likes it it's better for him than my regular white bread and I like it too so I just each loaf I just kind of look you know half the lows and then I put it in the freezer wrap and wrap it up good and then I'll put them in the freezer because a whole loaf usually by the time we get down to the end of the load it has already gone stale eat most of the time not all the time so I'd rather do it like this and just put it in smaller loaves and freeze it and then take it out as we need it so freaking bread is a good thing and when it gets cooler weather of course I'll be making my own bread and putting it in the freezer Hey but it's just too hot to be and I have it on right now mine use that excuse not that my microwave I love to make bread so it's not that big a deal anyways that's a good way to when you don't and cannot get to the grocery store every week you have to do things like this so it's a good thing we race our own eggs and chickens so that's just one more thing that's I don't have to worry about running out of and our chickens as long as so we've had chickens they're cinnamon Queens we get eggs even during the wintertime even when they're molting really bad we still we've got 20 21 hands I think 20 or 21 hands and one rooster and every day we have eggs even the wintertime when the days are short you still got a few they're still line eggs so and I know there's some other really good laying hens out there too but cinnamon Queens up here have always done good for us so eggs just one thing we don't have to worry about and you're gonna do so much with eggs they're good for you look guys I broke down okay this probably why don't need to go in Walmart know more than I do I broke down bought me a little composter being here to keep by my sink because i compost something every single day and it's really cute too I like the color it's got the little handle and it's also got the filter the filter on the inside of the the lid with the balls on top to take the smell out but my biggest issue I usually just I've got a little bucket down here in the floor and I just stole my compost stuff in it every day well the buckets looking pretty rough and the Nats are bad so I thought Laurie you gotta do something different but I did I spent a little money on myself and bought me a little compost bin and this right here is another thing that I do this this is done I have tried in the past to make my own dishwashing detergent and I've done all different kinds of recipes on dishwashing detergent and they're all good I have nothing bad to say about them but I find myself constantly coming back to my dawn and I buy it in the gallons and I buy it online from Amazon and I'll show you the reason why I like this dawn so much that I buy okay this is the dawn that I buy from Amazon and I'm pretty sure it comes from Sam's Club because that wouldn't come in the box the box was from Sam's Club this is what I worked in the school cafeteria for many years and I have washed a lot of pots and pans and this is what they use and it's on the best so I just find myself oh it's the professional use dawn detergent and I keep it I pour it all and of course I had to put dawn on it keep my kids and grandkids coming in thinking that some kind of a drink so they wouldn't but it sits right here by my sink and I just feel my sink of water and I just turned a little nozzle on and that's it and this this thingy last me forever even though I worked a lot of dishes that does I'm not constantly buying detergent and I just I liked my dawn I can't stay away from it so it's a good buy and like I said I'd get it off Amazon well guys that's pretty much my little grocery haul for today um that's just a little tidbit of you know how we do things here on our homestead and how you know we grew up not running to the store every week or even every two weeks sometimes a lot of times it was just a month at a time so it's just what we're used to and what you're used to but we have plenty here sometimes I think well I don't think I know how blessed we are how blessed so many people are to have so much and I thank God every day for the blessings he's given giving us we have food on the table we had the capability of putting food on the table we have clothes on our back we have a roof over our head and you know he's provided these things for us they're such a blessing because so many people out there are struggling so many people don't have food on the table every night there's little babies going hungry not everybody has a roof over their head and as far as clothes on our back I don't have high-dollar clothes I don't have name brand clothes I just have enough to keep me from being naked pretty much so with all that being said if y'all like this video give me a thumbs up and maybe I'll do some more grocery haul or pantry videos I just kindly done this in spur of a moment but anyways everybody have a wonderful weekend stay safe and god bless everybody come to our homestead gathering in Pocahontas Arkansas at O Davidson Ville Park on the 28th September it starts at 11 o'clock I'll leave a link below about the park where the meetings gonna take place there's gonna be a lot of food and a lot of great people there so come out if you can you
