Forget going out to eat. One woman's family has enough food annually to eat three meals at home, daily.
The woman said she makes many foods from scratch, including bread and pasta noodles.
"I also run my household like a business," she added."This is so I can make sure our dollar is stretching as much as possible; that we're reducing our carbon footprint on the earth by growing and preserving our own foods—which means I need to preserve enough food to take me from one growth season to the next growth season."
She takes the video's 3.2 million viewers on a tour of her large pantry, starting with canned peaches that are two years old and were originally purchased by a farmer as part of a $20 bushel. She bought two bushels' worth and preserved enough for the two-year timespan. "I keep an Excel spreadsheet of what we use every day in all of our meals, how many jars I can and how many we use—and I adjust that year to year so I'm growing appropriately, what we need for the following year," she said.
A TikToker recently revealed how she runs her house using spreadsheets to plan out yearly meals. A general picture shows various reusable glass jars filled with spices and legumes on November 16, 2021, in Milan, Italy.Canned goods include corn, carrots, green beans, squash and potatoes. One jar of each food is consumed per week on average, she explained, so 52 jars of each food is required throughout a calendar year."It's all just a math game," she said.
