I am really grateful for all the wonderful information you give, and I also appreciate that you don't act like it's terrible if somebody doesn't eat entirely organic foods, processed and cooked only at home. I'm trying to get more healthy foods into my family. I feel as if you are on my side, unlike some of the"preachy" cooks who try to make you feel bad if you don't follow every one of their rules and guidelines. Thank you, Mary.

Thank you for sharing. To me, I grew up learning how to stay well-stocked and living as "naturally" as my budget allows. I didn't realize how far, we as Americans, have removed ourselves from our traditional country roots until about 15 years ago when I was asked to "help" with a group of newly married ladies in our church... None of them knew how to budget, plan meals, or prepare for emergencies. They had never heard of "stocking up" a cupboard or real "scratch" cooking. Schools no longer teach these life skills, and neither do parents (many of whom don't know themselves.) And canning basic tomato sauce and pickles was beyond their imagination! Your channel has been a great resource! So thank you for doing this!

Younger generations, who are so confused what sex they were conceived and cannot change sex,all this disgusting woke rubbish has damaged education. life skills needs to be brought back without further delay.Those In education need to be retaught proper biological lessons NOT WOKE,and everyday proper life skills.Adults with sound minds need to make a stand and protect children and their education, also adults with mental health problems of gender need proper care and life skills to help them to cope with real life ,not make believe.

Mary, I’ve been in the city for 45 years and I’m in the process of moving back to the old family land about 65 miles away. I’m debt free and because of people like you and Danny and Wanda. And Heidi and Patrick. And Kevin and Sarah. And Jess and Jeremiah. And Al and Gina. And Doug and Stacy. And many others I haven’t mentioned, I have quite the pantry. Now I work with about 10 other women and for the last 11 years I’ve basically preached on preservation and storage. I might as well be talking to my pups. Unbelievable how they only live for the next couple of hours. It just breaks my heart. But I was at the new farm last week and my neighbor drove his tractor over and plowed me a garden and he knows/ knew my whole family. Even my grandparents!! I’m so happy to be able to say that I’ve found freedom. Freedom in life and freedom in Christ. He is the way maker for getting me here now. Love, Wendy 😘💕💕💕Thanks from the bottom of my heart!!

Sandy c, good morning how are you doing, how's the pandemic situation over there in your country?

[@JRAinKY]

Another great video, Mary! I'll say it again, I wish I'd had someone like you in my life when I was a young wife and mother learning to feed her family. Happy to say my pantry is very well stocked in all of these. Yay! Speaking of the pantry, one thing I did recently that has been a real game changer for me is moving all of my pantry items out of my kitchen cabinets and into the large pantry that is next to my kitchen. Having so many food items stored in cupboards, I would often forget what I had because it was out of sight in there and so many things would end up expiring or I'd buy things I already had but didn't know I had. Now I have everything well organized on open shelving in my pantry and I can see everything! I can walk in there and know exactly what I can fix for dinner. I can also see right away what I need to add to my shopping list. I used to keep all of my small kitchen appliances in the pantry but now those are in the cabinets instead. We're making plans to do some remodeling this year and one thing I'm definitely going to do is enlarge the pantry! I'd much rather have a really large pantry and smaller kitchen than have a large kitchen with lots of cabinets where things just seem to get lost and go bad before they get used.

[@MarysNest]

Oh Julene!! This is wonderful!! I wish I could do that. One day I would love to do a little renovation in our kitchen to attach my laundry room to my kitchen and make the pass through a pantry. That would be amazing!! Love, Mary

[@josephmckoy6923]

I am not a “prepper” with whatever connotations go along with that terminology, but, these are the things that my mom kept and I have always understood that one keeps in the pantry. Otherwise, known as “staples.” Most of this was usually winter food.

[@dianehall5345]

Hello Mary. My Grandma Hazel would keep that molasses handy for an after school snack. Remember the original Pepperidge Farm white bread? Gram would make a pot of tea. I would pour some molasses into a small dish and dredge the bread, to enjoy with my tea. Wonderful memories!

[@MarysNest]

Oh Diane! I remember that bread well. It was a treat for my mom and me to go to the Pepridge Farm clearance center store that sold day old products. Love, Mary

Hi Mary, you can make oat milk from the oats too. 1xcup of oats to 4xcups of filtered water 1x pinch of salt, blend for a minute sieve once or twice before putting into sterilised bottle. Keep refrigerated and shack vigorous before use it last for 4 to 6 day's. You can add the sieved oats with extra oats to make porridge for breakfast.

Love this video. A word on the garden destruction. We had over a foot of snow that stayed for about a week and a half. The only thing that survived was the KALE! And boy is it sweet. Surprised the heck out of me. It is still growing strong. So my take is that kale will always be a large part of my garden. Actually I need to dehydrate some of it.

[@onedogfarm6731]

Yes kale will grow just about anywhere in any climate. Keep plastic to cover in really cold climates. Be sure to cook Kale before eating it. It's easier to digest and makes nutrients more available.

It is so wonderful how you make traditional foods accessible to people at all stages of the journey ❤️❤️. I’ve been following your prepper pantry videos for a long time now and I can’t believe how quickly I’ve been able to build up my pantry without going over budget. I’ve been slowly, very slowly at first, buying more and more items in bulk, and this has allowed me to buy excellent quality foods while staying in budget! Now I buy organic unbleached flour, organic whole wheat berries, sucanat, Redmond’s real salt, high quality oils, etc. all because of slowly buying more in bulk. I’m at the point now that I buy almost ALL food items in bulk instead of weekly menu items (except produce and dairy), and I’m spending less than ever because I can wait for a great sale and stock up (I LOVE H‑E‑B!!)…. I even have enough left at the end of the month that I’m saving up to buy half a grass-fed steer at the end of the year. I’m so thrilled with the progress I’ve made, the transformation in how I’m able to grocery shop, and I’m so thankful for all the hard work you put into your videos. My family is so much healthier now because of it 😭❤️

Your personality is a pleasure to watch. Take care Mary🥰

[@midnightqueen3332]

I always pay attention to the price/oz, /lb, etc.. Usually you will be safe with buying the larger for the better cost savings. However, recently I had to do spice shopping ( I like making my own Taco/Fajita/Chili spice blends) and the( I think it was Ground Cumin) was about half the price of the smaller container so 2.5oz, vs the 4.5oz size. So, ALWAYS pay attention to the price /oz, /lb etc. Larger container/weight does not always equate the better value, sometimes the smallest can be.

[@kimberlymorgan5827]

That is true. I noticed that also. I remember showing my kids how to look at the prices and figure out which is best. At local dollar general store it was cheaper to buy 3 small dishwashing liquid bottles than the 1 big one, plus we got an extra 3 Oz. I hope they are remembering. I'll have to ask. They left my nest a decade ago & a phone call or short visit is just not the same. Haha

[@jo-annjewett198]

I love your approach. Years ago I changed things out over a very long time. Also keeping basic things around that are processed is part of a prepper pantry. Sugar to make jam, “syrup”, cookies when things are gone on the grocery shelves. The good stuff like honey might not be available but I do opt for cane sugar. I now buy wheat berries, organic whole corn and pink salt in bulk. I started canning meat and beans. Love the molasses tip❤️

Great video! Happy to see the commentary on Walmart shopping. I would like to see some videos on buying restaurant size canned fruit and condiments, and recanning to smaller sizes; I do this with ketchup, tomatoes, peaches, and applesauce but may venture into veggies. I live in a condo so can't garden, but recanning is less expensive than buying smaller amounts plus it fills my pantry quickly!

[@vickiepowell4664]

How do you recan larger sizes 🤔

[@RandBWallace]

@@vickiepowell4664 I buy the big restaurant size cans at Costco or a restaurant supplier- usually about a gallon. Open the can, portion into pints and process in a water bath - just as if I cooked down the tomatoes or applesauce myself. A little more expensive than from scratch but way cheaper than buying 8 or 9 cans from the grocery store. A #10 can is about a gallon and yields 8-9 pints for the pantry shelf.

Hi Mary, so glad I found your channel. You are amazing and your way of teaching makes even the most food challenged people like myself able to understand how to store prep and cook foods. Thank you so much for sharing your gift of knowledge with us. ♥️

[@tommytube268]

Just saw these videos, excellently produced and demonstrated. Very glad I came across this awesome looking series!

[@lyra2112]

Thank you for doing this, I need to check out Walmart. Amazed at those prices, wow!! And organic & healthier options I did not expect. Blessings Mary! ✨🙏✨

[@joycezabriskie2500]

Thank you Mary. You start Food storage where you can. You give such great lessons. It's nice to listen to you

[@austinconnor5297]

Joyce Zabriskie, good morning how are you doing, how's the pandemic situation over there in your country?

[@MeHungeee]

I love Mary's videos because there is no fear mongering like most of the videos out right now

[@skippyvsamy6768]

Mary I love your videos. I've struggled with bread for a couple years. After your five minute bread video I am now making bread everyday for my family. Thank you soo miuch

[@TT-yn7qi]

Thank you for these videos Mary, you are a wealth of knowledge. I've always had a preppers pantry because my my taught me since I was a child to always stock up. And Ive been improving my pantry based on your advice. And I love your saying "I like to meet people where they are on their journey" that's beautiful Mary.

[@MarysNest]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m so glad you’re here with us on this journey! Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️

potato ,flakes are dry and plain can last longer. adding to soups, mashed potatoes on the side with gravy make a delicious side. potato pancakes are good too.

[@junesandstrom]

Your channel is a blessing. Thank you!

[@selena0ldenoughtoknowbette244]

I have watched many of your videos. Loved them. The one that was most relevant to me was the, (no power through the Texas ice storm). This video is always on my mind as I buy and store my food. How can I use this product with no or very little electricity? Yes, I will always have the (basics) but can I use/make bread over a campfire etc. if the worst happens... Thanks for all your information and hard work. I live in a rural area, so my needs are different than city folks. Blessings.

[@crterwil]

God bless you Mary for keeping it real and meeting us where we are.

[@suzannepowell6721]

I don't like beans but if I cook my beans low and slow in my crock pot, including chicken stock, ham dices and Ro-Tel, I really like it.

[@pattyinsoflo5431]

Mary you have a wonderful channel here. Im learning so much! Thank you!!

[@nicidevine6670]

I love the way you explain yourself too !!! I am trying to stockpile my pantry with everything but my husband only get paid 2 times a month so I’m going to shop at Walmart asap !!! Thanks for sharing with us !!!

[@MG-ot2yr]

Thanks Mary! and its so nice to hear a sweet, calm, friendly voice in such times of turmoil with ways to cope in the kitchen.

[@kathypaaaina3953]

Aloha hugs 🤗 I needed this information now I like your presentation & time stamp very helpful God Bless Humanity

[@aliyannajoy1607]

before you go buying, make sure you have the available space to store and appropriate containers and whatever else is needed to store for long term.....making a prepper pantry is great unless ya store it wrong then it is just mouse and bug food. Learn to store before you buy!!!

[@pennywright9103]

Miss Mary, you are an absolute treasure! Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge with us. 🌹✨❤️

[@Zeropatience1]

I'm glad you went into a Walmart however I'm one to try to get deals at my local store first because if they don't get business they close and you end up with only Walmart. I have an Ingles market about a mile from Walmart and I go to Ingles first. I know inflation is getting to us all but stores with butchers not only gets you fresher meats that weren't shipped frozen and thawed where you take it home and refreeze it (Walmart) but the butchers can cut the meat down to your size and sometimes have great deals along with discount meats that were cut the day before and not sold. Just a little thought...you don't want to be stuck with only Walmart

[@LisaRobinson0725]

Very informative, and thank you for considering/meeting everyone (all budget levels) in their cooking journey without judgement. I’ve subscribed. 🙂👍🏽

[@jeanwoodall1523]

Thanks for sharing. We're all doing well.

[@mothershelper1981]

So happy to see your smiling face again! Man, you make me want to head out before the video is even over and go to my local Wal-Mart, lol.

[@Naturegirl55]

I am smitten with you, Mary! Your soft spoken, unassuming way of teaching is precious and your Wisdom is vast. Thank you, Love and God bless to you, too.💗

[@casualobserver3145]

Thank you, Miss Mary. As usual this is a lot of information I find very useful. BTW, I tried the sloppy joe recipe last week. It was quite delicious and leftovers were even tastier!

[@marijapronouncedmaria]

Mary, you are the sweetest and I truly love your channel! You've helped guide me to understand ingredients, and how to read them properly, and so many more things! Thank you! You have this beautiful energy that we all can feel through the warmth of your voice. So thank you again for that. I can honestly say, like many of us, I look at you for advice like my second mom a lot of the time... (and we also share a similar name hahaa). Anyway, you're awesome! Keep it up, and God bless❤☺🙏

[@sherylvalentiner6115]

You are just a treasure. You’re a wonderful teacher. Enjoyed your video with your son as well!!

[@lindacrawford4324]

Mary! I just discovered Del Monte has fruit cups of variety pak mandarian oranges, pears & peaches, 1-10 pak of each, WITH A NOT OVER DONE STEVIA, SO VERY GOOD!

[@paulineparker3662]

Thank you for your presentation. From now on I’ll be checking the ingredients to see if it’s high fructose or sugar. Love the tomato idea to make your own sauce, and the lentils. I learned so much from this video. I’m going to watch again, and take notes. Thank you

[@helenorsanic7921]

I’m watching this series for a second time. I think what needed to stock your your pantry, especially the dry/canned foods, check the EXPIRATION dates. Love your show, especially your family series. God bless!

[@elizabethharper9208]

Hey Mary! I always enjoy your videos. Happy to report that I have all of these foods in my pantry. I hope folks are following your lead. Stay safe! Love, E.

[@crystalh1402]

Fantastic video and excited for the follow up with the perishable foods and recipes.

[@anavah4yeshua580]

Thank you Mary for this terrific video. I wanted to add, when I was growing up, there were five of us kids plus our mom & dad. Three of those kids were growing boys! My mom used to buy a half gallon of 2% milk and add a half a gallon of pwdr milk. We thus had a gallon of whole milk. We never knew the difference & it stretched mom’s grocery budget.

[@DW-gf7nd]

A loving voice...To go with a loving message. Thank you, Mary

[@marilynrafla6628]

Love your videos. I am on the beginning of traditional kitchen but my first step was skipping on some of the processed food or food with simple clean ingredients (as much as my family will allow). I bought a stand mixer to make bread more often. I am kinda particular on what brands I buy vs generic since we have picky eaters. I thought I don't like mushrooms because my mom bought canned mushrooms, you have to wash and strain it and still fresh is much better, I cook and freeze cooked.

[@eileenkillen1481]

Mary I was on the lookout for a juicer to improve my vegetable intake, my joy of joys when I found one for £10 in my local Hospice charity shop, did you ever do a video on juicing? I’m new subscriber and would love if you gave us a demo of your favourite juices. Blessings to you and your family from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤️💐

[@MarysNest]

That's a great idea! Will do! Love, Mary

[@lindapearson2376]

My daughter mixes the molasses, in the raw milk, for my grandchildren. They love it & it “looks like chocolate milk”! 😊

[@ivonne5987]

I learned a lot watching this video. Thank you Mary! You inspire me to choose better foods ☺️🙏🏻

[@Lady.Luck.]

I just love your demeanor and content. I can't wait to get started for my family

[@TMac-j9j]

Hi i just want to say i love how you think of everyone in your videos so many people make cooking videos not thinking of who can afford what. Great Job!!!

[@synergy2222]

Thank you so very much Mary. So far you are my favorite, most informative, channel. I'm 66 this year and sadly I don't have a knack, or intuitive sense for cooking or baking. My mother could've opened a restaurant but I didn't get that gene. I'm stocked up for at least a year with most foods and, other than the canned foods for quick survival, I look at all the flour, rices, beans, and items that go into cooking and baking, and I feel totally lost. So, I'm going to download many of your videos (in case internet goes down in these crazy times) and make myself try one of your videos a week. I'm stocked on empty canning jars so will watch how to water bath. I do have an Insta Pot and I heard you can use it like a pressure canner. Wish me luck! Better late than never 😌

[@terryrodriguez6209]

Mary you are spot on starting off with basics.

[@magenta4443]

Mary, you are wonderful. Such creative ideas to spark my pantry plan for inexpensive budget. Thank you!

[@donnagarcia4541]

Good morning from Northern New Mexico! Happy Saturday

[@anneclark1330]

You are so wonderfully sensible! Thank you for your gentle nudging to changes in our kitchen. Today is especially important to anyone on a fixed budget. TY😊

[@happytangerinehomestead]

I am so blessed to have stumbled upon your channel! So informative! You do so much of what I am interested in doing for my family. And you and your family seem so darn sweet! Thank you for sharing it all! God bless!

[@farahalvin8806]

Agree wholeheartedly with meeting people where they are. Anything home made is preferable to store bought and people have to begin somewhere.

[@audreyhester7258]

I learned a lot from you on stocking my pepper pantry. Some of the foods you showed, I do have and use often. Thank you Mary.

[@Mars-dn4lz]

Thank you Mary for thinking of us who are on a budget and have growing children to nourish....again thank you for that...God Bless

[@sueciviero3866]

Sweet Mary, I escape the serious concerns I have listening to you. You put some fun in the tough times. I keep a few months of food in my pantry and am rotating through as I find reasonably priced replacements. Thank you for all the inspiration. Just a mention: check best before dates for longer term storage.

[@cynthiahamblin-perry5880]

Mary you are a treasure! I love listening to your calm voice and even though I have always had a prepper pantry ( grew up w/ depression era parents and grandparents) I learn something new from you each video! Hows that sweet pup doing? Take care and thanks for all you do.

[@dianano4569]

I just found you on here, I absolutely love the videos! Thank you so much.

[@MarysNest]

Welcome!

[@ashleymarie7452]

Excellent! Relevant, factual, concise! Much appreciated!

[@sbutler0305]

powdered milk is great for bread machines. And for those of us who rarely if ever drink milk (most adults shouldn't be drinking milk every day anyway), it is good for some when milk is needed in baking or cooking.

[@austinconnor5297]

SallyB. good morning how are you doing, how's the pandemic situation over there in your country?

[@debbiee7850]

your knowledge is NECESSARY and so important right now.
