Stop buying everything from the supermarket. Start here. 🛒

Tired of watching prices climb every single time you walk through the checkout?

On Monday, 14 September 2026, we are starting the 5 Days to Ditch the Store Challenge.

And no, we aren't asking you to move off-grid by Friday.

Instead, you’re going to grab your last supermarket receipt and pick Your 4—one pantry staple, one herb or veggie, one protein, and one cleaning product.
Over five days, we’re going to tackle them together:
Day 1: Choose your four real-life items
Day 2: Learn the "gateway skill" of making your own pantry staple or bread
Day 3: Start growing food (even a windowsill or a single pot counts!)
Day 4: Calculate what backyard hens or local sourcing would really take
Day 5: Whip up a DIY cleaner that costs cents, not dollars
By Friday, you will have genuinely swapped out two of your four items for good

Learn to grow, raise & make your own with CJ. Real-life homesteading tips, laughs & support to help you Ditch the Store and take control of your food.

In this week's episode I named the 4 most common reasons people never start:

🌱 Not enough land
⏰ Not enough time
😬 Scared to mess it up
⌛ Waiting for things to settle down

Which one is most you? And what's something you've ALWAYS wanted to try but keep putting off?

Be honest — you're safe here 👇

The easiest way to build your first homestead habit? Stack it onto something you already do every day.

☕ Refresh sourdough starter while the kettle boils
🌿 Water windowsill herbs while the coffee brews
🧺 Mix laundry powder on wash day
🥛 Start yogurt in the slow cooker overnight

Zero new time slots needed — just a tiny add-on to what's already happening.

Real talk: I bought skincare online this week instead of making my own tallow balm.

Yep. Even I still stall on the things I know how to do 😅

So here's your Sunday prompt — what's stopped you from starting something in the past? And what's ONE small thing you're going to try next week?

No judgment here. We're all figuring it out.

Who in the homesteading world is doing something that genuinely inspires you?

Hopefully me!

Not the perfectly curated accounts. The real ones. The people who started small, kept going, and are just quietly doing good things.

Life is too short for store-bought eggs.

One rule I live by: pick ONE thing, and just start it.

Not the whole overhaul. Not the grand plan. Just one small thing.

So tell me — what's something you actually started this week, no matter how tiny? Drop it below 👇 I want to celebrate with you!

Here's what Ditch the Store is NOT.

It's not about living on dried beans and never leaving the property. It's not about martyrdom or depriving yourself. It's definitely not about judging people who still shop at Woolies. (I still shop at Woolies.)

What it IS about is spending intentionally.

I started this whole thing as a suburban single mum who was flat broke and sick of handing money over for eggs from miserable chickens, cleaning products that cost $8 and take five minutes to make at home, and bread I could bake myself for a fraction of the price.

It's not about never buying anything again. It's about being deliberate — spending less on the things that don't deserve your money so you can spend more on what actually matters.

That's the whole heart of the Ditch the Store community on Skool. It's free to join, the classrooms are full of practical skills, and the people in there are refreshingly real.

Come find your people. https://www.skool.com/ditch-the-store-6174/about

New episode is live 🎙️

Ep 178 – Why Most People Never Start

And here's the thing: it's not about the land. It's not about the time. It's about perfectionism, and waiting for things to "settle down" before you begin.

Sound familiar? Yeah, me too 😅
