Hey Mary! The statement on the oats of "no glyphosphates" is important. Organic doesn't actually mean it is totally free of them. As you may know, Roundup is used not only in early growth, but after growth and before harvest to have it all dry up at the same time to make harvests easier. SO, the USDA allows an organic label if the roundup isn't used in growth, but doesn't consider harvesting "growth", and allows it to be used in harvesting. I recently learned this and just wanted to scream.

That rice is an excellent buy! A word on dried beans, I stored some with oxygen absorbers from 2012 and when I went to cook them in 2021 , the crock pot could not do the job. After all day cooking, they were still a good bit hard, not edible. I decided to try cooking them in the Instant Pot and it actually softened the beans and they were edible and delicous. I have since read that happened because dried beans are not a forever stored item. Just be aware to rotate your dried beans.

When you soak them, for one pound of beans soak in 8 1/2 cups purified water with 3Tablespoons kosher salt and 1 3/4 teaspoons baking soda. Rinse well after soaking, then cook in purified water. Hard water also contributes to difficult to cook beans. This works for very stubborn or old beans. Cook the normal way. The flavor is delicious, skins are tender and creamy interior. MAGIC!

Regarding the kitchen items, I’ve been able to save a lot of money buying returned items off of Amazon. There’s a version of those wire shelves in the “Amazon Basics” brand and I was able to buy 2 for about $60-70 each because someone had returned them to Amazon for dinged up packaging. The shelves themselves were in perfect condition. I also got an Instant Pot Duo Plus that way for about $70. Under the normal price it sometimes says “Save with Used” and you can browse through the stock of the Amazon warehouse there. I always check that now when I’m going to make a larger purchase, I’m happy to save substantially for a dented box

Minor cosmetic defect to item, will come in original packaging” 😁 I’ve bought some cosmetic defect stuff and it’s usually just a small scratch or sometimes a scuff that I can even wipe off myself. The only one I personally won’t risk is when it says there are pieces or screws/assembly bits missing. But even if you order one of the used items, it shouldn’t prevent you from returning it. So if you order “like new” with damaged packaging and the actual product is damaged you should be able to return the item.

It is awesome that you are educating on plant self defense chemicals. All plants contain anti-nutrients and the seeds of those plants contain concentrated amounts because they need that for the new plant as it sprouts and grows. To properly prepare rice to cut down on arsenic and anti-nutrients, soak the rice in water with about 1/4 cup of raw ACV with the mother for 24 hours or so. I rinse the rice also, before and after speaking, until it runs pretty clear. I also just learned that it should be cooked in 6 to 10 times the water as rice, so it boils out more arsenic and then rinse it when done.

You know, Mary, when it's absolutely stupid-hot in Summer months, you actually can take your toaster-oven OUTSIDE to do your cooking on the porch or perhaps out on the patio. Whether you have an external power outlet or use extension cords, you can fire up the oven and use it to bake those cakes or roast those chickens, etc. The same applies to your instapot or slow cooker. This is definitely the argument in favor of setting up an outside (or "canning") kitchen. If you have a shed or you have the space for one (and can afford it), this might be a good option. I don't know if you have a solar generator (such as a Jackery or a Kodiak) and solar panels. I sincerely hope that you do. I've learned that many over-landers and American Nomads (people living The Van Life or The RV Life) have been using their solar generators to power their instapot and regularly cooking their meals on the road using solar power. I'm pretty-sure you could also use it for your toaster oven. Possibly also an electric grill. This is something any of us can do in our own back yards, saving money AND keep the house from baking in Summer. Of course, I cannot forget about the solar oven. Cook outside... with zero gas or electric. That's a very good option. ( The All-American Sun Oven is definitely on my Wish-List.) I don't remember if you have a solar generator and panels and/or sun oven. If you do I'd love to see that content. I noticed something. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the newest Food Saver vacuum-sealer includes new jar lid attachments. Did I see that correctly or do I need glasses? On that note, I saw in another video that FoodSaver actually has a stand-alone jar-lid vacuum-sealer. It's battery-operated and it just pops onto the lid and sucs out the air. I think I need one. BTW, since I'm reminding myself of glasses... that's another Prep you can stock up on at Costco. If you use reading glasses, you can buy a 3-pack of readers to keep for Just-In-Case. Okay, it's not Pantry-related... but it is Preps. I've been wanting a vacuum-sealer for awhile now. My Emeril pot has a sous-vide mode and I want to try that out. I've been thinking about using Sous-Vide cooking as a Prepping technique. I'd sous-vide some steaks (a big batch), then let them cool and throw them into the freezer. Stack them vertically. Whenever I want steak or chicken, I pull out a sealed pack, thaw it out, cut it open and sear the outsides (or possibly air-fry it) and Dinner Is Done. It seems to me that sous-vide + freezer = Not needing to use oxy-absorbers. (I think I'm right.) PLEASE I want everyone's opinions about my thoughts and theories and ideas. Let me know if you agree with my opinions... OR teach me what your experience has taught you. I mean no sarcasm when I say, "Correct me if I'm wrong".

I was just chatting about the Instapot Max the other day with this group because in addition to it being able to can 4 pint jars at a time, it has a sous vide feature ... Also, the All American Sun Oven can dehydrate as well...and right now they have available the stackable 2 black enamel pots with a glass lid back in stock that fits perfectly in the oven. If you spatchcock a chicken, it will fit right down in one of the pots perfectly. Speaking of sous vide steaks...you can take your med-rare steak leftovers, vacuum seal them, toss in freezer if you like, then sous vide them to bring them back up to temperature without overcooking them. If you vacuum seal and toss in freezer, dont use oxygen absorbers...not needed. Mary has a few videos showing how to use a few different FoodSaver devices, including an old and new style hand held jar vacuum sealer.

Your tea pot is so adorable! I have the one from Costco and I absolutely love it! I’ve purchased organic herbs from Mountain Rose and I’ve made my own tea blends, so this tea pot is wonderful! I bought my daughter a Vitamix for Christmas last year when they were on sale. I’ve had mine for about 12 years and love it. She loves hers too, and the kids love the smoothies she makes! I bought some of those silicone bags at Aldi’s that were a bit less expensive, but they were all the sandwich size. Those USA made pans are the best! I bought a set of those too, lol! I have the bread loaf pans too! I have found that they are the best made pans out there. I love buying the peeled garlic, onions and mushrooms for freeze drying. Sweet Berry Farms opened this weekend in Marble Falls. I plan on heading up there soon to pick strawberries for freeze drying and making jam. If you’ve never been, you should go. The tulips should be ready soon. Ruta Maya is my favorite too. Both the Austin and Cedar Park store have been out of them the last few times I went, but they were finally in stock last week. I had to buy 2 bags just in case. I like to brew my coffee and then freeze dry. So much better than commercial instant coffee! I think I’ve purchased just about everything that you’ve shown on your video (with the exception of a few of the appliances). Now I’m feeling like a mega prepper 😳. I love the Manuka honey and I make sure I always have it, as well as regular honey. My daughter is a nurse and has 4 kids. I introduced her to Manuka and she uses it when the kids are sick.

Great video. I always love your Costco shopping trips. I agree that having paper plates/cups/plastic ware is a good idea. But, I did want to suggest that you can wash and wipe plates and cups with a vinegar/water dilution of 1:6 ratio in a spray bottle. This is good for camping too. Just be sure that the item you are spraying with the vinegar solution is not reactive to the acid in the vinegar.

Hopefully by the time I get to Costco the stackable storage bind are still available. That's a great idea, as well as, portioning out flour , as well as, sugar into 1 or 2lb bags and storing in vacuum sealed bags. Great to have available for my unprepared family members.

Food Saver Machines are wonderful!! But a word of caution -I've learned the hard way: DO NOT buy off brands of vacuum sealing bags! I've had LOTS of *trouble with Kirkland brand bags (leaking or getting holes weeks or months after storing) no fun to find that in the pantry. *All different foods & not even foods with sharp edges, peanuts or chocolate chips, but things like granulated sugar, flour, homemade broth, etc. It's good to save money, but some cheaper things can cost more in the end. 🙏🏻🌷

Good morning Mary ❤I just had the pleasure of meeting you through your video with Homesteading Family. I thought you were delightful so I sought you out and subscribed. I'm looking forward to learning lots of valuable information from you! It is funny that you are talking about small appliances. My husband and I took a trip to the beach last year and our accommodations had a kitchenette with a hot plate and a toaster oven. I loved it! I am not in the process of throwing my stove/oven out and putting in more counter in its place with shelves underneath to store all my can't live without small appliance like my slow cooker, instapot, etc. My husband purchased one of those table top ovens for me at Costco (it can cook a 20 pound turkey and its a 12 in 1. It even makes popcorn! And I purchased the same 2 burner hot plate I used at the beach. It works fabulously. The best part is I have the same features as a stove/oven only this combo was only about $180 before taxes. and when I am not using the hotplate it is put away not taking up my counterspace.

Ms. Mary, as you likely know, different local Costco's carry different items according to their demographic. I found this out because my hairdresser lives in Pflugerville and I shop there for Tillamook Sharp chedder cheese that our Costco (we're neighbors😉) no longer carries 😔. They also carry my favorite oyster sauce as well, so I stock up whenever I'm in need & getting my hair done. AAAALL this to say! LOL They do carry the large bags of pinto beans. I was just at the Pflugerville Costco and they carry a 25 lb. bag for 18.99. I don't believe they're organic, but still! Excellent find! I know it's quite a haul for you to go there, but may be worth the trip for no more often than you'd be buying them. I'd love to say I'd get them for you the next time I'm out that way, but since you don't know me from Adam, that may be a bit too weird. 😉🤣

I loved "shopping" with you, Mary. It's been quite a while since I've been to Costco since the last several years upheavals. I see so many new (to me) items that I definitely need. Thanks for taking us along. I appreciated the commentary about the sprouted oats. Until my dental work is completed, I have chewing difficulties which makes for digestive difficulties. Looking for those sprouted oats will very much improve my breakfast situation.

Hi Mary, I enjoyed this even though we don't shop at Costco because I always learn something from you! I have been going round and round thinking about sprouting and soaking oats because we eat homemade granola or granola bars every morning. When you talked about the sprouted oats at Costco I decided I needed to research some more so I found your "never sprout grains again" video and Ureka! I'm not going to worry about it anymore! I've been a little worried about the heavy metal in dark chocolate issue lately because I love a little dark chocolate in my morning granola. Well, if phytic acid helps remove heavy metals then maybe I'm covered?!? 🤔Have a blessed week Mary!

Keep in mind that many of these items go on sale every 2-4 months. Also, if you have a Citibank Costco credit card in addition to the executive member card, you can get a LOT of money back. My statements closed in February & I got ~$172 back from the Exec membership & ~$912 back from the Citicard. I use those funds to pay off my credit card for additional credit, then wait until a higher priced item I want goes on sale. I’m basically getting it for free, plus I’m getting cash back on my NEXT year’s cash back check because that purchase is being made on my Costco Citibank card.

Thanks for the video Mary! I could hear you perfectly fine. Not sure why others had an issue. I stock some all purpose flour. Froze it for 3 days minimum and then vacuum sealed the bags and put in a sealed food bucket. I prefer to not store wheat berries. I barely use flour as it is because I'm low carb. But I'm thinking of possibly bartering with people that may have something I need. Harder to barter if most people don't have a grain grinder.

Soaking also makes the grain more digestible very key! The nuts are key to soak to remove the enzyme barriers. Peanuts have aflatoxins and why now the weaker generation is allergic! Dr.Bob says make enough for few days and done for a while.
