Stop paying the store for what Granny made for pennies.

How it works

One food and one problem at a time.

One food, one problem

Each video takes one thing you buy ready-made and shows you how to make it at home, start to finish.

Counted out plain

I add up what a batch costs with real national average prices, then you write in what your own store charges and compare.

Fair both ways

Some mornings the can is the right call, and nobody at my table will think less of you for it. I just want you to know the other way.

About Miss June

Pull up a chair, hon.

I learned to cook at my Granny's stove, up in the mountains, where nobody drove to the store for something the kitchen could make. Biscuits, gravy, a pie crust, a pan of cornbread. That was just how supper got made.

Somewhere along the way most of us started buying all of that in a can or a box, and I understand why. Life is busy. But I kept noticing how much of the grocery bill was going to things Granny made for pennies, and I figured somebody ought to count it out plain.

So that's what this channel is now. One food and one problem at a time, with real average prices and a recipe you can make tonight. Granny never paid the store for something her own kitchen could make. And sugar, that's worth knowing again.

  • Fair both waysSome mornings the can is the right call, and that's nobody's business but yours.
  • Counted out plainReal national averages, and you write in your own store's price.
  • Made at Granny's stoveEvery recipe is one I'd set on my own table.
Fill your pantry. Feed your family.

Questions

Good to know.

Is the list really free?

It is. You give me your name and email, and the download button shows up right on the page. That's the whole trade.

What do I get?

A eight-page printable PDF: ten things to stop buying, with what you need, how to make each one, the one trick that matters, and a Count It Out page so you can compare against your own store.

Are the prices on the list my prices?

No. They are national averages from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and your store may run higher or lower. There's a blank for you to write in your own.

Are the recipes tested?

The suppers are my home cooking, the way I make them at my own stove. The canning recipes in the book are tested recipes from the USDA and the National Center for Home Food Preservation, with the source printed on each one.

Do I need to can anything to use the book?

No. Plenty of the suppers list a store can right in the ingredients, so you can start cooking from the grocery shelf. The canning half is there for when you're ready to fill the shelf yourself, and not a day sooner.

Is it a printed book?

No, it's a PDF you download. Print the pages you want, or keep it on your phone in the kitchen.

Is Miss June a real person?

Miss June is an AI-generated host. The recipes are real and cookable, and the canning recipes in the book are tested and sourced.
