We make about 250k a year in our household....we have probably 10 packs of both Costco brand toilet paper and paper towels stocked back which I think is a prudent prep. Of course we have food stocked up and did long before CVD. I have been a "prepper" since I was probably 20 years old, now almost 36. But the best prep is putting your faith and trust in Jesus Christ!

[@HeartwayFarms]

Amen!

[@anniemcelroy2812]

Amen. My God shall supply all of my needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus our Lord. No fear here:) Welcome to the channel 😄

Just a reminder for folks reading the comments…please, please, please do not use the PEPPERMINT Castile soap on sensitive parts of your body like the eyes and private areas. If you do use the peppermint soap to wash your hair, take great care in avoiding your eyes. Castile soap is very gentle but the added peppermint essential oil will sting like crazy on your delicate areas. You’ll feel like you just washed with jalapeño soap and it won’t stop burning for a while. 😅 I still do use peppermint castile soap but I just don’t use it in the bath or the shower anymore because my experience was so painful and I don’t want to risk going through that again. 😁

[@anniemcelroy2812]

Good advice, Rebecca. Thank you ☺️

I’m a recipe collector so any and all of these recipes would be greatly appreciated ! These bring me back to my mommas mother. She lived in the country and I would get to help her with the chickens and making soap, quilting and butter making. I really miss doing these things as she and my mom are gone now. I love your videos. Brings back sweet memories

[@marydevincenzo5153]

I would like your recipes also.

[@ajalicea1091]

I would love to get these recipes too because it's a whole lot easier to make it yourself to me because at least you know what's going in there I do not think that they always put everything on the label. So I utilized the phrase that I learned before I left home but also while I was in the military: Stay Alert Stay Alive Touch it constantly makes me pay attention to what's going on wherever I'm at grocery store home walking a trail Lowe's Home Depot wherever I go I try and remember this.

[@ashleyjones2034]

I’m glad you emphasized that most store bought soap is garbage! I am a professional soap maker. It’s nice to see that some people realize this! Stuff in the store is actually categorized as detergent, not soap. Btw I make 20 pounds of soap by hand almost everyday. 😄

I bought all white cheap washcloths for bathroom use. That way I can bleach when used and there's no mixing up with other washcloths.

[@marybk882]

Regarding the toilet paper hoarding - since so many people were no longer leaving the house to go to work or school, they were naturally using their own paper, not their employer's or school's paper! There were hoarders to be sure, but a lot of folks simply needed more paper on a daily basis for an extended period of time which led to a shortage which led to hoarding, a vicious cycle.

[@RachelTeeKae]

I just wanna point out that when you use the Castile soap for shampoo it’s a 1 to 10 ratio with water and the rinse for vinegar is half water half vinegar. That’s all I’ve used for about six years and it works really well.

[@dorinnaojeda]

Just as another possible way to help with bee stings, my family( back to my great great great grandparents in Mexico) have used a frws cut onion. Not a big cut is needed just a small cut and put the fresh cut side on the sting. It reduces inflammation and pain almost immediately and the onion pulls out the venom. Just a different but effective way to help with out chemicals.

[@lauranewell3197]

I'm slowly getting all of this done at my house. We both work retail, so not the best pay, but we do what we can and are slowly getting some extra set up

I already use reusable pads. I started making my own after my second kid. My period is way shorter, less cramps and less irritation. I used to get chemical burns from the store bought pads/tampons. I just use my sewing scraps! It's saved me so much money over the years. I also make my own hand towels s wash cloths

[@loriorrick7313]

My daughter uses these reusable menstrual cups. They are pretty cheap to buy and she loves them. Saves a lot of money.

[@purityshallabide1645]

The cups are great, are the disks, but the best part is that those made out medical grade silicone can be reused and sterilized between use.

The thing about using white vinegar to clean is that when it dries there is no vinegar smell, just a very fresh clean smell, imo.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

Yes, vinegar is a great option for sure.

[@proudmarinemomma827]

I like to use it as fabric softener and in the dishwasher instead of jet dry. It leaves no smell in your laundry when it’s dried. It also helps with the hard water.

I made my own laundry soap for over 10 years. recently i had to buy Tide for another project and decided to throw it in the wash and use it. i had not realized how grey my clothes had become with the homemade soap until i went back to tide; it is good to have the supplies in case needed but i am stocking up on tide now;

[@berrypatch5583]

I had the same experience.

[@eleanorfetterman2493]

It depends on how you made your soap also. I do use the duggars laundry soap recipe but Not with gels Naphtha. I use pink Zote soap instead. My laundry brightened up. And I used Tide before making the change.

I bought a bidet like 4 or 5 years ago. At the time I spent around $100, not a bidet toilet, just a bidet attachment to your toilet. It gets you super clean. Haven't spent a dime on toilet paper in a very long time. Will never go back. I also buy the same towels at Walmart, around $3 for a huge pack of hand towels that I use instead of paper towels. The only paper I use is newspaper combined with vinegar to clean the windows and it's free from my neighbor. Love your channel, love the content. So informative.

[@jackieperkins691]

[@cinderella5006]

Ok, maybe I shouldn’t share this but the reusable sanitary products reminded me of when my Mom born in 1921 so you get the era I’m speaking of told me how they did things in her day. They used rags for that time of the month and then soaked them in a bucket of water to clean them then Grandma used that water to water her flowers, never on vegetable garden or edible plants but just on the flowers. I don’t know if that really had a nutritional value for the flower beds but that’s how they did things at that time, mom grew up in Rushville Illinois.

Rubbing alcohol is a great cleaner....just remember that is has high VOC. So when using make sure to have good ventilation. Even though it's natural it can be harmful to your lungs. Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Yes, absolutely. And my homemade cleaner recipe is 1 cup alcohol into 1 quart of water so it helps that it's diluted as well.

[@johnnyripple8972]

Over the last year bit by bit I’ve been able to stock up about 3-4 years of all our detergents, cleaning supplies and toiletries. TP and paper towels only about a years worth. If you budget and just do it over time....grab an extra detergent and a couple extra cleaners every trip to the store and it ads up quickly.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

Yes, slow and steady is much more affordable than all at once.

[@sharonbrown2352]

Lavender helps your hair to grow as does rosemary. In your toilet wipe solution you could add Colloidal Silver if you make your own CS for added disinfectant properties.

[@daniellecoy2359]

Soap nuts are a great alternative for laundry soap but they can also be used for any kind of soap. Also, has Julianne ever thought about going into herbalism? Reading some books or taking a few online classes. She already does so much natural stuff and adding herbs to her soap and lotions can be fun and helpful. Just a thought. 😊

[@anniemcelroy2812]

Yes, actually. She already has MANY books on herbs and is continuing to learn new things all the time. It's not unusual for her to have all sorts of creations on the counter... Homemade vinegar, dandelion root drying out all over the house...all sorts of things.

Before my TBI/SCI I ran a house keeping company and used a similar formula. General cleaner/ degreaser was ammonia based. I would make a 10x and dilute as needed. My window cleaner was vinegar and rubbing alcohol based, then I scrubbed with soda. Shop and bus rags with a few green scrub pads (easiest to rinse out baking soda), a good vacuum, and a scraping blade rounded out the kit. I live in the maritime pac NW and our window sils mold in the winter, hence the glass cleaner being Iso based. Castile soap is our base, but I do have Dawn because fleas on my service dog. We have a 20# tub of borax. Need to get washing soda. As soon as we get from our temporary home to our permenant one, I will start making soap again. Otherwise I use Dr Bronners.

So excited to watch chicken video, im looking at doing that this this upcoming season so im trying to learn how to raise them and butchering. We already have hens for eggs but mest is a different ball game :). I am hoping my neighbors are going to do this again because she said we can work together since she and I can't (sensitive to life) do the butchering but once its life force is gone then we can do the next things like cutting uo, defesthering and packaging ;).. thank goodness for husbands! Oh and we live smack dab in a city, our neighbirhood is a county island in the middle of a 400,000 human city. So call your local zoning place because you never know what you can do in your area, we did this when we bought this house because I wanted chickens, and this house was needed and perfect for its specific outlay and in law unit that was attached.

Your daughter is wise beyond her years! I make my own laundry detergent with Castile soap, baking soda, and soda flakes. Works amazing. 2 gallons is like 75 cents. Castile soap is amazing. I’ve never seen the Walmart brand in the store, so I checked and will buy it there. Great content you two! So empowering.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

Awesome, Kenna. I'd love the full recipe, if you're willing! Do you have city water or do you live on a well/septic?

[@Dayna_Bennett]

Never heard of soda flakes. Is that similar to baking soda?

[@beatricealcaraz5799]

I would love to get your recipe please.

[@sandrajohnson9926]

Also Borax. Zote & Fels Naphta bar soap are also for laundry.

[@anikamartens9381]

homemade laundry soap is fine with hand washing/washboards. modern washers aren't as harsh/rough so it doesn't wash out as well. its a smart stockpile option if you'll be hand washing

We used salt for coloured dark it stops the fading my mother used that and she used a wash board so you know I am older I used a wringer washer for years. I have to use natural stuff allergies

I am new to your channel and am absolutely loving these weekly prep videos! So many ideas of things to stock up on that I'd never thought of! I do have a QUESTION for you. How do you budget prep items alongside items needed for now? We are a family of 6 and our grocery budget is already pretty high, so trying to add in purchasing items for prepping gets a little stressful and honestly, quite daunting! I'd love to hear any tips you may have! Thanks so much! And thanks for putting out these videos!!

Just found your channel. Love what you and family are doing. I was inspired to get my pressure canner out so I’m canning beans today! I’d love a cleaning video. Have you heard of Azure Standard. They’re a great option for stocking up too.

Just found your channel and have watched several prep videos in a row. Loved the videos and so appreciate y’all!! I also love natural solutions and continue to work toward more and more natural products. The Lord gave us so many wonderful things we can use that actually benefit us!!😀I also really appreciated your thoughts in one of the videos about how you reign in the vitamins and supplements- very wise and I think I will do the same with high dose C, D3 and trace minerals .👍🏻Blessings on you and looking forward to more videos!!Liz in FL🌴☀️

[@pieinthesky9646]

Baking soda and water can settle an upset stomach. Doesn't taste good but works

[@albertabyers7157]

If you didn't want to have your washer water into your septic you could run the drain pipe from the washer out into the yard. That way you don't have to worry about the soap going into the septic.

[@RiceaRoni354]

That isn’t legal. Years ago the prior owner did that and we still can’t plant anything successfully there. I’m sure it was before the eps regulations

[@hello-vs4me]

Love your farm wish we had a farm garden fruit trees God bless you two and your family 💘😊👪🙏😀god bless everyone 👪🙏❤😊

[@sheilamesick96]
