5 pounds of red potatoes for $9.99 😟

[@mollysmith6055]

Oh my goodness! I've heard people say 5# of potatoes are 6.99 which is bad too but 9.99 is crazy.

[@jenjenb1209]

Yikes!!

[@hollyfink6168]

We’re they good? Can’t find a decent bag of potatoes for like 2 year’s already. I would not have paid that, no way. We will do without.

[@Bex-rg8pj]

😳

[@journeyofamidwestquilter]

That’s crazy!! I paid $4.99 for a 5lb bag of regular russets the other day. I could not believe it!!

[@gruzincklebell3404]

the fact that Maria has a name for all the chickens is so adorable.

[@cherylmcconnell3167]

So sweet when Maria was telling us the chickens names 💕

[@Barbara-pz8ky]

Jennifer I don’t know if you realize how your Christian /Catholic attitudes towards everyone and everything you do come through. (Specifically referring to the room cleaning thoughts in this episode)…you have such a nice way of explaining things!

[@christieflesch3750]

I can't believe how much those potatoes were I work for Kroger and I can't believe how high that was. I've missed your videos they are relaxing to me and I'm having some health issues so it's nice just a zone off and watch a video so I appreciate all your work you put into them

[@juliewright1895]

I love your straight forward approach to canning…well, life in general too! You always have great tips and advice!

[@GAPeach58]

I usually paid $3.47 for 5# bag red potatoes at Wal-Mart (South Carolina). They are now $7.37 same 5# bag. Eggs are more than doubled in price.

[@angelacox6105]

Here in NC I didn't buy the red potatoes for my potato salad this weekend because they were $7.99 for 3 lbs. I could not make myself do it. Lol!

[@AndreaRuralMN]

I don't even have a garden YET but I have weed fabric coming. Weather I can finally buy a house, get a community garden plot, or plant at my aunt's farm, I will have a garden!

[@michellediaz9786]

I’m just catching up on your videos lol been busy with grandkids I have my hands full Oh and I’ll be ordering a book soon

[@colleenwolkey5612]

Potatoes have gone up 40% in PA too! I have been talking to my husband about food prices. I heard on tv the other day. . . Up 21% since March!!! I just ordered my cookbook! God Bless your sweet family🙏

[@annegreattoseeandhearyougr3520]

Thank you for having Joe in the video. He is a handsome boy and seems to like being in the video.

[@Scorpio_Song]

Nothing like a Wisconsin summer!💚 love and thank you always Jennifer💖

[@janhaenell6311]

Hi Jennifer, I think that in Australia we have a product called mock cream which might be the closest to cool whip. It used to be commonly used for cakes and fillings but no longer. Fresh cream is used almost exclusively now much to my eldest son’s disappointment. He loved mock cream. One can make it oneself but I would have to find an old fashioned recipe to do it. Always look forward to your videos. Best wishes from Australia

[@heatherlavender8236]

Those pies look very delicious, thanks for you're video and all you talk about I love it all! We just got a dog and she is trying to fit into our family and they all love her. I am trying to get used to the hair everywhere though, but it's nice to have a dog here when the house is quiet and no one but I am here and the kids are gone to school. It all looks fun and many blessings!

[@maryannditullio2581]

You are one busy lady. Everything looked delicious! All day to cook and clean up and 30 minutes to eat it all up! 💕

[@acountrylife]

So true!

[@milisaspencer6744]

Jennifer you always wear the cutest clothes! Look forward to all your videos 💜💜💜

[@WomanWifeMommy]

I agree 100% about how ones brain is wired and how you feel about such executive functioning tasks like cleaning and/or organizing. My entire house struggles with all of this and we really have to push each other to stay on top of things. Just like you said too, there's nothing wrong with that if you happen to fall into that group that struggles with it. It's totally normal. What you described in how you have to help the boys is exactly what I have to do with my two boys.

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning everyone happy Sunday morning and I loved your vlogs and you all amazing Supporter and I'm proud to all of you guys and you all amazing

[@connieahrens1439]

I was shopping at Festival Foods in Marshfield, WI this morning and got new red potatoes for .79 cents per pound. Looking forward to digging up my potatoes in the garden this fall.

[@pamelaremme38]

You haven't dug them up yet? I dug mine up 3 weeks ago. Huge harvest. Waupaca Wi. area.

[@connieahrens1439]

@@pamelaremme38 my potatoes are a later variety that won't mature until mid Sept.

[@tammyr2966]

Love the strawberry pie! I can’t wait to make it! What a fun adventure you had with your husband! That blue tooth speaker/ light is so cool! Your garden is beautiful! Love the fresh green beans! Ours are still growing! Thanks for sharing your fun week!

[@MadScientistCrochet]

Wow. This is the first year I’m trying to grow taters. Harvesting this week. I hope they worked out!

Jennifer, thank you for this incredible long video ! You've made my Monday so much better. I'm already ordering your shampoo and lip liner as you have great taste. Bless you, Warren and the family for sharing your life.

Wow great Video Jennifer!!👍🏻👍🏻 Blessings To You and your Beautiful family and have a Great Week.🙏🙏❤❤🌻🌻

[@sheilaperl4155]

What a wonderful video, Jennifer, your gardens, your vegetable gardens look outstanding, you have such a lovely family, I enjoy your videos so much!!!

[@journeyofamidwestquilter]

I made the strawberries and cream pie last week. (I added heavy whipping cream in place of the sour cream.) it was so good! My family raves about it!

[@angelawix2075]

I just got my cookbook on Friday and saw that strawberry pie recipe, it looks and sounds delicious!!

[@treenaakers9429]

Great video. Thanks for the inspiration. I was watching and going thru my/your new cookbook. I'll let you know what I make!

[@bethmuhly374]

Summer hits of the 80's! One of my favorite, go to, getting things done stations!

[@gracie346]

I also adore snapdragons. As they lose their blooms snip them off where you see new growth and they will be bushier. I realize I am in the southeast so that is a different climate but hope that helps. Your plants look gorgeous!!!! Pure joy! 🌸

[@heatherhandley7505]

Thanks for the canning advice especially the parts about not needing a lot at one time!

[@eileenkillen1481]

Jennifer I melted Nutella chocolate spread and put it on the graham cracker crust for the strawberry cream pie, drizzled some over the top at the end and it was delicious. 🙏❤️🇮🇪😘

[@tammygeorge2756]

Love the video and thanks for taking the time to share a week in you life. 💕

[@JAWELSH2008]

Gosh I love Joseph’s video recording! He’s so excited!

[@karenkissick6884]

In Jacksonville Florida I have paid 7 bucks for 5 pounds...amazing how much all the basics we buy have gone up. Eggs free range brown 6 bucks a dozen. The milk I love 6.00 a gallon. God bless you and your love ones and keep the healthy and with bountiful gardens. We need to buy laying hens and plant a garden down here. Can meats that you can catch on sale for things are going to get worse before it gets better.

[@glendaruff125]

Nice batch of beans. A good southern meal is green beans cooked with fresh potatoes. Of course onions are a condiment with that. Do you have time to have a fall batch of potatoes in the garden.

[@phylliscapps4342]

I LIVE IN AL. AND I BOUGHT 10# OF RED POTATOES AT SAMS THIS WEEK FOR $8.98 WHICH IS SOMEWHAT HIGH FOR HERE BUT THE REASON FOR THIS IS THE STORAGE PLACES FOR LAST YEARS CROP IS PRETTY MUCH GONE AND THE ONES YOU ARE BUYING RIGHT NOW ARE THE NEW CROP OF POTATOES. EVEN IN THE YEARS WE DON'T HAVE SUCH HIGH INFLATION POTATOES TEND TO RUN HIGHER FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. SO GLAD YOU ARE BACK MAKING VIDEOS. MISSED THEM BUT GLAD YOU HAVE BEEN GETTING SOME RELAXATION. YOU DESERVE IT!!!! LOVE THE LONGER VIDEOS TOO.......

[@karenchakey]

Hi Jen i was so happy to see another video, so good to see everyone, i will order your new cookbook soon, we went to Kroger this morning picked up a 3 pound bag of russets patatoes i think they were 3.99 here in Ohio. God bless

[@allegra1236]

Love the Libby App for audio books from my library!! A great way to get through a drive, gardening or housework!!!

[@acountrylife]

Yes. We've been listening to books all summer and loving every one.

[@nancysadewater964]

Great video. I got the 2nd cookbook and love it already. The homemade dinner roll recipe is the same that I use in my bread machine for rolls. I use AP flour and add 1 1/2 t. wheat gluten (I get mine at semi yearly trips to the Amish stores and store it in freezer).

[@janesecaraway3995]

Loved the longer video ..especially since I haven't seen you too much recently. Have a great weekend!! Love my cookbook!! From Montgomery al 🙏 ❤️

[@Dindasayswhynot]

I hope you and all the family are safe. Just saw your weather report, warnings and reports of what's underwater in town. Stay safe.

[@acountrylife]

Rainy all weekend, but nothing severe near us. Thanks for your concern. Stay safe.

[@Dindasayswhynot]

No wonder my wonderful friend, the late Shirley Laing, loved Wisconsin. How beautiful.

[@michellejaggard9657]

Just use the Epsoms Salts, it is the same as Miracle Grow. It is also great for tomatoes and peppers. When I am planting them into the ground to start I put a tablespoon in the bottom of the hole them when they have been in the ground for a month or 6 weeks I will sprinkle a ring of it around them and water it in, I planted Delacata squash, Blue Hubbard, Acorn, Spaghetti and Butternut squash for the first time this year.

[@pamelabrown4941]

My son is way better at organizing than I am and he is extends a lot of grace to his mom. I totally understand every person is different but we get frustrated sometimes even with ourselves. Love watching your family.

[@sheliapeters2082]

We tried a zuchni blueberry bread that's soo good . Just an idea for the extra blueberries .

[@journeyofamidwestquilter]

Ketchup is another item that has gone up! We tend to use Heinz ketchup (it’s just what we’ve always liked). It is well over $4.00 a bottle now, and I used to buy it for under $3.00. 🤷‍♀️

[@tamaraameling1289]

A few months ago I accidentally over purchased boxes of instant potatoes. What a blessing that turned out to be, with the price of fresh right now!!! Won't do for salad😄 but I'm happy to have them.

[@acountrylife]

That was a good accident.

[@mollysmith6055]

Thank you for showing your Mirro canner...it is kind of hard to find videos of them, mostly you see Presto's. I have a Mirro like yours as a backup that I got for $5 but haven't tried it out yet. Good to see the jiggle-dance pattern because it is a bit different than using the weighted regulator on a Presto. Your garden looks great and it is nice to see you getting enough to be canning. Thank you for sharing some of your farm life.

[@thejessicadarks]

At my Walmart it is 3:98 in Atlanta GA and I like red potatoes to for my potato salad as well 🤓 love watching you cook❤️Lisa D

[@elliejellie22]

I still want to mix up the pancake dry ingredients to have on hand. I saw you do it before and thought, "what a great idea". Hopefully I will do it soon.

I've been picking blackberries for the last 2 weeks for eating and I also water bath canned 2 goes of blackberry jam here in Victoria BC.

[@acountrylife]

Sounds wonderful. I missed our blackberries. One day they were tiny and green and then they were gone. I'm thinking maybe the birds and small critters got to them just as they were ripening. You'll enjoy that jam in the middle of the winter.

[@heatherlavender8236]

When you were talking about cleaning the boys room my boys are the same way I usually have to clean or organize actually every once in awhile too. My daughter was just starting to do really well to clean her room too so maybe it's something to do with girls most of the time. I have to get the boys room to the point where they can understand a plan that they can make it work for them with organize drawers that have a picture and subjects of what is in it. Maybe with large ziplock bags since we have a bunch of 2 gallon bags and organize items in them inside their bins. We shall see how it goes? Does that sound like a good idea? Thanks, keep up the great work, and take care.

[@lesliekanengiser8482]

I watched a video by the quaint housewife on KZbin the other day and I think she said the giant russet potatoes were 13 something for 8 lb. I have never heard of such

[@cynthiastauffer8012]

Your flowers are so pretty! Do you change your dirt every year? Warren is always so good natured 😁 and the chickens are just beautiful 😍

[@acountrylife]

In the small pots I change the dirt every year. In the larger ceramic pots I add new soil to the top each year.

[@evanorvell8368]

Baking soda changes the Ph of the soil. You can put it on the ground to inhibit weeds, so it probably wasn't so good. The veining was probably iron deficiency.

I've never seen anyone with that type of weight on their pressure canner! I received mine from my MIL and it was terrifying the first time I used it. 🤦‍♀ I've used it a few times since and have gotten more comfortable with the jiggling. I do have a problem, though. My lock never releases. I end up waiting hours and hours before I grab a butter knife to lift the lock while I twist the lid. Any suggestions? Even just where to go to trouble shoot? I really enjoy watching your videos and am always inspired in my homemaking, homeschooling, gardening journey. :)

[@lizf506]

I can't get over the potato cost. I saw a 10-pound bag at Sam's Club the other day (of russets) for $6.67 and I nearly died. We have potatoes we grew; although we should cut back on using them. I used to always throw extra potatoes in things because they were so cheap. Our go to sale price that we used to purchase them was between $.14-$.20 per pound! Now we are seeing $.67-$2.00 a pound. It's time to cut back and use more pasta and rice. (We have them on hand. I hear rice is hard to get too.) Time to stock up especially on shelf stable food. I hope everyone is doing that. Such increases in prices only show that there are shortages and that is not good. Have a good day everyone. p.s. I should go collect my itty bitty potatoes in my shed and save them for seed potatoes for next year.
