With the start of this new year, I have made it my goal to be extra frugal and to start aggressively saving to pay off our debt.  This means that I needed to adopt a whole new mindset when it comes to purchasing goods (or NOT purchasing them, in this case! )

In today’s video, I will take you along with me as I tackle a DIY project in the basement that I managed to complete without spending a single penny!!!  You’ll also get a tour of our homestead pantry to see what kind of delicious home-canned goods we will be eating this year.  Click the video below to watch!

***(NOTE: For an easier method… I have also made these boxes by just drilling holes in the lid instead of replacing part of it with the wire mesh.  You won’t have quite as much air flow, but it is a great alternative if you don’t have the tools to do it this way.)
