For now that is what we are doing. We have not shopped much since October but when we do have to replenish I'd like to support the right people. The plethora of conglomerates who control our stock of daily needs is unbelievable. Cleaning, food, vitamins, tools, raw materials... it's predominately derp/foreign. And now they are trying to shut down domestic energy. Sick.
Y'all can laugh but I'm series enough that I spent hours on firewood yesterday for home heating. I've made my own laundry soap - from pre-made soap - for years because I have severe allergies to many chemical fragrances. I'm going to take that a step further this year to make the soap. Daughter has milk goats so I can makes goat's milk soap. I've made some vinegar I used to clean.
And, no, I don't want to go primitive. But I am retired, have time to figure out a few things, and I don't want to support derps if I can help it.
Sounds great! Hubby and I raised our own food (meat and veggies), canned and froze our food and burned corn to heat the house. Bought a small homestead on just my love’s paycheck as I couldn’t work anymore. Raised Dexter beef, milked goats and made cheese and raised chickens and ducks. God’s Homestead is paid for. All the above is why. God has blessed us richly..in the worst times.. God always came through.
If you like sudsy soap use coconut oil along with your lard. Makes the nicest bath soap.
