Sprouts
Let’s talk about sprouts!
When you sprout seeds, you don’t need soil or sunlight, just a container and some water. (Great if for some reason you couldn’t leave your house)
Sprouts are PACKED with nutrients! A great way to get vitamins and minerals that you may not otherwise have on hand.
Sprouts are easy on the digestive system! They’re full of antioxidants. They take up hardly any space. You can store seeds (properly) for years and years, always having access to quick nutrition.
Today I made my own sprouting mix!
Monthly Stock Up Challenge 2025
Welcome to 2025 and our new stock up challenge for the year!
This year is a little different! We’re focusing on a different area to stock up on every month. January is protein! Meats, beans, fish….. whatever you would like to have on hand!
December Stock up list
Welcome to the last stock up list of the year!
Even if you only picked up a few things each month, you should have a nice little start to a short term food storage.
In the new year, we’ll be trying a new system out, so make sure you’re subscribed to keep up.
Given the holiday season, most of the stuff on sale is gift and baking oriented. Bath and body gift sets can be a good way to grab some hygiene items, batteries are on sale for toys but always good to grab them on special.
I hope you and your families have a great, and safe, holiday season ❤️
November Stock Up List
Welcome to November!
It’s that time of year where we start to hunker down and get cozy. Soups and baking are the sales themes.
As an added tip, you can buy some Halloween candy on clearance (or raid the kids’ stash) and vacuum seal it to last longer, OR, you can use the candy in your fall and holiday baking. M&Ms or chopped chocolate bars are excellent in cookies!
October Stock Up List
Welcome to October!
I LOVE this time of year. All the harvests and cooler weather… let me grab a flannel and a hot drink!
Here’s our stock up list for the month (and only a few days late!! 😅) Lots of baking goods leading up to the holidays. And don’t forget stuff like pumpkins, apples and squash which can last all winter when stored properly.
Winter Preparations
Here’s a quick infographic I found in my travels around the web that I thought I’d share with you. It’s never too early to get ready for winter, especially if you live in an area with nasty weather.
September Stock Up
Welcome to the ‘ber months! I’m so excited, I love fall and the harvesting that comes with it. I can’t wait to hear all my canning jars start to “ping”.
Here’s our stock up list for September, with the things that are likely to be on sale this month. Not included in the list, but also on sale is basic furniture and shelving for all the kids off to uni and setting up their dorms!
Let me know if you find a good deal!
August Stock Up List
August can be a great month to stock up! There’s lots of back to school sales, so quick easy meal deals are plentiful (think instant potatoes, macaroni and cheese etc), dorm supplies like shelving and various containers are on sale too.
As summer is coming to a close, we start seeing clearance pricing on things like tents, cylinders of propane for camp stoves and all sorts of camping and outdoor living items. Keep your eyes out for great deals! Let me know what you score 🙂

It’s such a busy month with outings, gatherings and holidays, I hope everyone enjoys themselves!
