For this episode, Toni is joined by Pam Greenhill who runs the popular YT channel Bloo´s Self Reliance urban homesteading and wellness channel. Through it, and her hands-on workshops Pam teaches people how to grow, stock up on food bargains and preserve while on a budget. She is a qualified chef, nutritionist, dietitian, herbalist and naturopath, mother of 2 sons and foster mother of 72 children. 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Relying on supermarkets is expensive and makes it hard to eat well. Only a small % of the food they sell is healthy and nutritious.
• Teach your kids how to grow, cook and preserve food. That is how Pam learned.
• Community matters, you are stronger together.
• Even an unexpected big bill can leave you unable to afford food for a few months, so it makes sense to be prepared and have food for emergencies.
• Be prepared in little ways for example having a blanket in the car on cold days.
• Plan your meals and shop around for ingredients. 
• Only some things in discount stores are cheaper.
• Make your washing powder.
• Live mindfully.

 

BEST MOMENTS

“Every spare inch of my front and back garden is growing food. “

“Preparedness is more about life happening but you not being inconvenienced by it. “

“What you can grow yourself, or what is locally grown is so completely different. It's like they were grown on different planets. . “
