The Amish buy second hand before buying new at yard sales and no sales tax

They need to make a living too
Comment from : Connie Hayes

With regards to canning, do the Amish ferment their foods? The practice of fermentation is not as likely to kill off the nutritional value of fruits, vegetables, etc
Comment from : Scott McDonald

I Like that they save money on grocery stores in also that they were hammy downs
Comment from : Mychael Griffin

Hanging clothes to dry instead of putting them in a dryer really saves not only money, but the clothing as well All of that lint that you take out of the dryer is your clothes breaking down For 20 years, I lived in a country that didn't have dryers and I still have most of my clothes from that time You'd never know just by looking at them how old they really are I still hang my clothes 99 of the time

Your showing all the stores (like the route 10 market) near me! Fun, thanks for the video
Comment from : Jen Dyson

I'm not Amish, I want to live with them!
Comment from : J H

Not having cars, car insurance, car maintenance and repairs and gas also helps them save a lot
Comment from : GLENDA GONZALEZ

A sense of community, if something needs built or a crisis hits they group to help their fellow man/woman Their sewing and woodwork skills are true art forms, beautiful The food is wonderful
Comment from : Ann Lockey

This was in my recommendation but I received a pop up from youtube asking me if I think this is a good video/recommendation? That's sketchy So I will watch it, to learn Thank you!
Comment from : silvia magda

The other benefit to not following fashion is that you can use the same clothes year after year until it wears out I know that because I wear dresses that are somewhat similar to the Amish and I am able to keep wearing them until they get thread bare So, I am able to save myself both time and money because I stopped following modern fashion It's better for the environment also to not buy into fast fashion
Comment from : Megan Greene

I do almost all of my clothing purchases in thrift stores and garage sales
Comment from : Sandi Vernay

Well worn jeans can be turned into tote bags, aprons, and pot holders, etc Google it for other ideas

I grew up in an Amish neighborhood, and I must say, even their plants , flowers, mulch and shrubs are so beautiful! I wish I knew their secret!

It's great to dress simple Can you imagine the upper middle class house wives that go to yoga n pilates giving up their Lululemons and ,maybe keds or capezios if they're still a thing
Comment from : Jennifer Lowery

It looks like we could all learn somethings from the Amish
Comment from : Richard Love

You are right We are so consumed by the excesses, we have forgotten to re-use, recycle, and re-purpose! In my household, every purchase happens after asking “ do I need it? Have I got room for it? Will I use it? Can I afford it? If one of th answers is NO , it stays in the shop! Simple
Comment from : Why Oh why

Sadly,there are no Amish in Idaho Nor, any bent and dent stores that I know of However, most people are canners and have gardens even if they are just a few tomato plants
Comment from : Stephanie Corporandy

I live near an Amish community and they have their own store I don't know how they save money but I can tell you how they make money All of their products are 3 times as high as you would get in a regular grocery store They buy items in bulk from wholesalers and repackage it under their own name It's a total racket
Comment from : A D

To compensate for not having large families, I think non Amish folks really need to learn to work together to achieve similar ends
Comment from : Garth Wunsch

Baking bread has saved me a lot of money I follow a dinner roll recipe with that we make sandwiches , breakfast sandwiches and cinnomin rolls
Comment from : i rivas

Comment from : Lois Dedopoulos

I'm absolutely fascinated with Amish lifestyle My family & I live as simply & as self sustaining as possible! I became a sahm 10 years ago & three kiddos later we're still making it happen No cable/dish, no tablets/ipads, no computer, one tv & many books, plants & canned food🪴 One of my favorite parts of the day is when our family sits around our Amish handmade dinner table It's my favorite piece of furniture we own & we hope to add more of their beautiful work to our home over the years The grocery store we frequent most is an Amish grocery store about 5 miles away Gardening, canning, harvesting & preserving food/meals has become a passion of mine Pressure canned meat is literally a game changer I can only pray that our kiddos continue living the ways we do long after we're gone Many people literally wouldn't be able to make it living in such simple ways but I wouldn't trade it for the world
Comment from : Simple Life

I lived with my Amish ma and da when I was small There are a lot more things they do to save money In general, they bought bulk flours and things for baking All the vegetables were grown My Amish da bought meat locally from other Amish and he had a milk share for me The most cans we ever had was 1 quart to eat of each thing for each day That meant 365 quarts of meat, 365 quarts of vegetables, and 365 quarts of fruit What an accomplishment that was! I can't claim I did that ever brClothing was all hand sewn at home Lightings were candles or kerosene lamps We had a hand washer and hung dry the clothing My ma and da had no speed queen They would buy me boots for winter and books for school Sometimes we purchased some dye to make our clothes blackened Some of the best days of my life
Comment from : Hey Kiddo!

I would if I was in the USA in a state with those discount and bulk stores available No such thing available in the Netherlands In fact you cannot buy family size items as everything is packaged for no more thanba family of 3 or 4 here
Comment from : IamKyuTee (큐티)

The Amish celebrate pagan holidays such as Christmas & Easter, they think pigs are OK (clean) to eat - they worship on Sundays, not the true Jewish Sabbath day; but they do believe in Christ & His salvation, just not eternal security (which is strange, because the way they celebrate Christ doesn’t add up to the Jewish roots & God’s Holy Feast Days) The amish are another group of people mislead, just like the Mormons & Jehovah’s Witness 😔
Comment from : Michael Sabados

Great tips As for the packagedfood-like products however, that stuff is a false economy
Comment from : Timandanna Barrett

I wish we had a bent and dent type store here I would love to shop in one with the high prices
Comment from : Margaret Hawk

I was Amish as a wedding gift 2 calves were given n spring w shots They grazed till fall when they were both steers One was killed n ate all year long by famil n didn't have to buy beef that yr The other was sold at stock sale money put n bank till spring when 2 more calves bought n cycle continues This can b done with any livestock Makes sense

Sharing everyone of Jesus Christ, He is coming back We are spiritually saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ our Lord God and Savior

Food presentation can be more than canning You can pickle or brine, firment, dry, grind and freeze food stuffs Amish in Lancaster, PA make quilts to provide cash for the family
Comment from : Rose Johnson

You can buy in bulk with a smaller family Just get a chest freezer, and keep those goods frozen so they don't go rancid or get bugs If you don't have electricity, store it in gamma seal buckets and keep it in a cool place like a basement I grew up among the Amish in Pennsylvania, and have lived like this all my life I have taught my daughter to do the same
Comment from : Thirza Peevey

It should be fair to add that most commercial canned foods are recanned in a glass canning jar using the water-bath method
Comment from : Vernon Bowling

Having an earthfridge in your garden will also help storing caned foods in a more fridge-like environment

To me, this is just common sense My family was very poor and valued everything we had, NOTHING was wasted
Comment from : Squirrel Covers

I miss my old college classmates Some or the majority came from the Mennonite and Amish home towns They were the friendliest group of people I've ever interacted with
Comment from : Lois Secody

I can whatever I can from our garden I repair my clothes rather than throw them out And we still use a wringer washing machine up to this day We can't see spending all that money for those modern digital front loaders that break down on a couple of years because they're all cheaply made in China so corporations can make more profit dollars We line dry all our clothes Our neighbors electric bill is usually over 400 a month They cannot understand how ours is 65 to 90 a month and I've explained it twice We don't run 2 refrigerators We don't have a frost free one Proven the newest ones still use more electricity than any old manual defrost refrigerator We can our meats and dont run a big freezer like they do We use double and triple pots that allow you to cook 2 or 3 things on one burner instead of three We're not Amish, but I do believe we've pretty much are like them and give thanks to the Lord everyday
Comment from : Theodore Novak

I was raise country Aside from horse and buggy, and plain clothes dress, we are not much different than the Amish I still hang my clothes to dry I buy my tools from household sales I repair in order to reuse My sister took care of mama, rather than pay for assisted living I have a large garden, for health reasons, not financial reasons Items like carrots, rutabagas, and potatoes can be kept in a root cellar, which I still have in my 1940's house Sauerkraut also does not need canned or frozen
Comment from : Cecil x

I liked your tips on Amish and their clothing
Comment from : Mom’s World

They will by holiday candy the day after a holiday and reuseat a discount Like buying in bulkall the store has
Comment from : Larry McComas

Using old clothing to make braided rugs Washable rags instead of paper towels Thrift stores for used shoes Don't buy trinkets or made in China inferior products Buy one good set of cookware to use for your entire life, not replacing it when styles change One good set of plates and bowls to last a lifetime Walk when possible or use a bicycle Wear more layers of clothes indoors in the winter and use less money for heating Buy good used items as they are needed Not new Barter for goods and services
Comment from : karen4you

One way to save is to eat less
Comment from : J S

Spend it all I just talked to an amish man, prosoerity is the amish biggest problem according to him Don't feel bad, everyone person in this country is wrong in every way right now, it's how totalitarianism takes hold, interesting and exciting times to live
Comment from : Randy Surline

Amish people ditch their animals the minute they need health care When their horses get sick or overworked they send them to a slaughter auction They do not believe in birth control, their pets reproduce and reproduce I have lost respect for them Sure life is cheaper when you dont take responsibility for your actions but how does that make your godly?
Comment from : mel chezi

I make a point to shop thrift stores, yard sales and flea markets for items when I can Before I retired and had to wear dress shoes everyday for work, when I bought a new pair of dress shoes, I had heel guards put on for just a couple dollars and it made the shoes last twice as long
Comment from : Janet Richardson

I find the Amish folk truly fascinating I would love to visit an Amish community one day and learn from them
Comment from : Brandi

Fabric isn't cheap, but it will definitely last so much longer than fast fashion

I haven't tried bent and dent grocery stores yet, but I am fortunate enough to have food pantries near me
Comment from : Megan Tousignant

In the past few years, I have taken up gardening and canning My family did this when I was growing up I can't believe I waited this long to get started myself I don't know that I save much money doing it, but I enjoy it and might get to a level of proficiency where it is also helpful financially
Comment from : Angie B

Also seen the elderly walking in 😔
Comment from : K-9 Lover

careful on almonds , I bought some chocolate covered almonds at a dented store and they were a bit on the hard side, until I hit a very hard one and it blew apart a crown just be careful with near expired product (the mfg opted to pay for the replacement crown once they tested how hard that almond was)
Comment from : Mark Bajek

How healthy they look !
Comment from : CharlotteCMGH

Kiss me, I'm Amish ☘️
Comment from : Lassie Farm

When they spend more on fabrics for clothes, they are making clothes that will be worn for many years, not just worn for a season and thrown away

Comment from : Sharon Holmes

Hey Eric, One thing I noticed traveling in Amish country was that almost every adult has a certain skill which they can market Obviously, carpentry, metal work, and gardening But, I saw a man pulled onto the corner of a highway selling odds and ends He had many baskets his sister-in-law made Her husband made thin slats and somehow they bought long strips of seaweed which she dyed and wove into her baskets The brother-in-law sold stuff for several family members there on the roadside
Comment from : MrMockingbird1313

Dear Erik,brbrAnother great video on a very important and timely topic You covered all the main ways of saving money Once again I really liked all the visuals you fit in Very nicely done and a great joy to watchbrbrSincerely,brLarry LewisbrOntario, Canada
Comment from : Larry Lewis

One of my favorite sayings is "Waste not, want not" My mom taught me to be respectful of what I eat, to be careful with money, and to think before I buy something
Comment from : Mrs G

Awesome ways of saving money, sometimes frugality can take you a long way in making life a little easier to live I don't can, or garden for that matter, but I do shop sales and I pre-plan my meals the best that I can so I'm not shopping aimlessly, so less money on splurges Trying to set a basic budget helps as well and I try to go through my cupboards before shopping to I'm not buying things I don't need Thanks for sharing today
Comment from : T G

Rarely going to restaurants and packing a lunch for work and school helps a lot And of course they don't have TVs/cable bills/streaming subscriptions to eat up their budget, or expensive electronics in general
Comment from : RoamingRaven

Aren't they kind of infamous for ripping off their "taxi drivers"?
Comment from : Sweet Peach

Do the Amish read (besides Biblical Scripture) for pleasure and what if any pleasure or educational books do Amish read?

Comment from : Exploding Kitten

Can you please do a video on What is currently happening in OHIO NOBODY IS TAKING ABOUT THIS and ARE THEY BEING PUSHED OFF THEIR LAND‼️Im Very concerned about their WELL BEING‼️
Comment from : Eli D

Re frugality, cooking from scratch at home helps too Spending $20 on one OK restaurant dinner vs buying a bag of budget groceries & cooking something you customize to enjoy is a no-brainer to me I only eat out once or twice a year & afterwards usually wonder why? It's typically that mediocre But since cooking from scratch is time consuming, suggest looking for quick simple 3-4 ingredient recipes to try To help get you into cooking more It's usually much healthier too

Gonna be honest I thought this was an April Fools video lol Which makes me wonder what an Amish prank would be 🤔maybe put the buggie in front of the horse XD
