Keep your Sour Cream container Upside Down in the refrigerator. It will last a long time that way!
Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸
Yes. Cottage cheese too
Great tip !
Also yogurt
Thank you for these great ways to save. When I cook pinto beans, I cook a big batch in a crock pot. After the first meal w/beans, I put the rest in small containers & freeze them. We have fresh frozen pinto beans for a few months because there's 3 of us. God Bless you & your family.✝️🙏🏼
Great tip!
Love the organization and use of available space in your cozy kitchen. Proof that one doesn't need a $30,000 designer kitchen!
Thanks so much! 😊
Exactly!
Freeze your raw beans before you cook them. Even store them in the freezer. Freezing breaks down the cellulose in the bean, making them cook faster.
Thanks for the info!
I will give that a try too! Makes sense.
Wow i didn’t know this 😳 Thank you for sharing this 🥰
For the sour cream, there's the standard use as a topping for tacos, burritos & baked potatoes. You can also mix it into mashed potatoes, make stroganoff, mix it into just about any type of homemade "hamburger helper" (YT has plenty of diy skillet meal recipes), tuna casserole, use it in banana bread or muffins, make a dip, salad dressing, or mix with lemon juice and/or vinegar and spices of your choice to make a chicken marinade.
Great ideas!
Great suggestions
Sometimes I make ranch dressing with sour cream instead of full mayo.
fantastic idea
Taco salad made with ground turkey and use your sour cream as the fat source (instead of the meat we typically get our fat from). Needless to say sour cream doesn’t last long for my family of 7. 😆
Sour cream biscuits, corn bread, borscht. I use it to bread chicken!
We use sour cream in biscuits instead of butter, or add to pancakes, scones, coffee cake or homemade & cheese. If I can’t use it in time, I’ll pop it into the freezer for use in baking later where the texture doesn’t matter as much. One way I avoid food waste is not being tied to recipes, for instance i never make pancakes or waffles the same way twice because we use up little bits of this and that in them (cottage cheese, sour cream, yogurt, flax, apple sauce or butter, small amounts of fruit, milk that is starting to sour, etc.).
If you don’t use the paper towels much, maybe just put them under your sink without the holder and give yourself more room to work with ease on the countertop. I know it is a preference, but I love clear counters, especially in a small kitchen.
I live in Michigan and I don’t use the oven when air conditioning is running. It is a different story in the winter. We always open the oven door after baking is done to let the hot air in the house.
Hi Dawn! I have a tiny kitchen. I tell my friends that I can stir the soup, wash the dishes and open the fridge without moving my feet. Funny.
Sour cream coffee cake is absolutely amazing
Dawn, when you make coleslaw, macaroni salad, potato salad, etc. you can cut the mayo in half and substitute sour cream instead. Nice taste and fewer calories!
That is yummy. I always do that ! 👍🏻😀
yum
I use plain low fat yogurt in those ways and I really like it. It lasts longer, it's cheaper, and less fat, salt, and calories.
Hmmm never tried that in potato salad. Great ideas 🥰
Hello Dawn,
We buy big bags of beans and chick peas.(comes out cheaper) and cook them in the slow cooker.
I love cooking in small kitchens and prefer them to big ones. I find them cozy and easily accessible. We make a variety of wonderful, tasty, healthy food from scratch in there. 😋
So true Dawn, “if It’s old and it works, keep it”.
🌷Sam
Great tips Money Mom! As for the sour cream, my Mom used to make a sour cream cake it was so good. It had lots of cinnamon in it and very moist. She made it from scratch but also with a box mix.
It’s not a bad idea to always have a few cans of beans on hand. In case the power goes out.
Or it’s crunch time to make a meal and don’t have time to soak the beans.
Any vegetables that you have left in your plastic bags minus the lettuce, at the end of the week throw them into a homemade soup or stew, including the beans!
I love it
I also have a small kitchen and I do most of the same things. For sour cream, some uses are 1) make a dip like onion or clam dip, or a hot taco dip, 2) make a hamburger stroganoff (or any kind really), 3) add some into scrambled eggs with a little parsley and seasoned salt or other seasonings of your liking - it adds a little tang, 4) on baked potatoes or add some into mashed potatoes to add more creaminess, 5) a dollop in a fajita or taco - chicken or any kind of those as well. I'm sure there are more uses, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head.
Great ideas
It's not just canned beans that are more expensive. Canned anything is more expensive, for the most part. The contents of a can of vegetables is mostly water, salt and sometimes sugar. The ounces you see on the can do not reflect how many ounces of green beans you are getting. It is mostly water. Take the potatoes or green beans out of the can, and weigh them. Then figure out how much you are paying by the ounce for those potatoes. Then figure out how much that comes to by the pound. You will be absolutely shocked at how expensive canned fruit, vegetables and many others things are, because water takes up most of the volume. I bought an 8lb bag of huge russet potatoes a few days ago for $2.99. They will last me three weeks, with potatoes eaten every day. They were on sale, but even if they weren't, how many cans of potatoes would they make, since one can has about one potato in it. Walmart has canned potatoes right now for .96 a can, GV brand. A 10 lb. bag of potatoes is $6.94, a 5lb bag is $4.27, both GV brand. These are NOT even on sale. When you drain a can of potatoes or vegetables you lose so much of the vitamins and minerals, too. Canned stuff is a waste of money, for the most part. Too much water, too much salt, too little value.
Healthier to soak/cook beans
That’s why we grow most of our own veggies and then freeze them. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are the easiest thing to grow. I’ve never bought canned potatoes. Yikes. We also have many fruit trees and what extra we have, we freeze that too and use in the winter for smoothies.
@@dawnreynolds2991 I would love to make my own pasta, too.
You're right!
The potatoes in my area are bad within about a week. I've tried bags of the different potatoes like red, russet and Yukon gold but all go bad before I can use them.
We love and use both fresh basil and cilantro and I found we wasted so much, both herbs succumbing to deterioration and into the trash they had to go (compost). Now when I buy either, I wash and chop both, spread it out on a cookie sheet to freeze it, then drop both into freezer bags. It’s worked great for us, taste preserved and NO MORE WASTE!!🎉🎉🎉
Great tip!
Good tip, sister! Thank you!
Thanks for the tip! I was wondering how to avoid basil waste .
I throw 1-2 small spoonfuls of sour cream on my salad. I don’t use salad dressing as they have sugar and other ingredients I don’t want in my body. And I don’t like vinegarete type dressings. Sour cream mixed with lots of salad fixings give it a nice creamy texture and it’s zero carbs 😊
I have that same “old” beaters. They were my moms from the late 70’s/early 80’s. Works great. Why replace it ?! 🤷🏼♀️👍🏻
I agree about appliances.
In addition to the other sour cream uses: we add a quarter cup to a pound of ground beef to make hamburger patties. We add a little A-1 into the sour cream when making the patties or whatever seasonings you like. And of course adding sour cream to muffins, cake, pumpkin bread.
yum
Dawn, I can really relate to making coffee at home! Saves a TON of 💰. I drink coffee everyday...also buying the largest size can, can save even more...as it lasts a l-o-n-g time, keep it stored in the fridge to keep it fresh!
I also love good coffee. I love HEB's specialty coffee, but it's pricey! I make a pot with half good coffee and half generic. It still tastes special.
It sure does
I buy it online, 20lbs at a time. It comes in 5lb bags that we freeze. It's 25% off that way.
Out of curiosity, have you ever thought about growing tea? Not just herbal ones, but black tea? I found a cold hearty black tea plant that grows outside in zones 7 to 9. We selected that for our hedges and should be able to harvest for the first time in spring 2024.
Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without, applies to kitchen items in my home, keeping weekly track of what is eaten, and limiting food waste, i am def doing better with that.
Ooh and having a 22 yr old boy move out saves us a 100 dollars a week on food lol 😅
That was my mums motto x
But also I hear ya! 23yo son @ home 😂
Lol
I save money by only buying things when the pantry item is opened. Say we open a new container of mustard, I then write mustard on my list and then wait for a sale (since I have time before it runs out) to buy a new container. This way nothing goes past the use by date and we only have things that we actually eat. We mostly eat fresh veggies, so very limited canned items, and I try to buy what produce we get that is in season to keep prices down. Also, the drawers in the fridge are where things go to die in our fridge (produce), so nothing in the drawers but eggs, meat and condiments.
😄😄😄 Yes, I have to check my refrigerator drawers to make sure nothing is lingering in there!
You bought your cookbook from Half Priced Books! We love that store. We have lots of books, especially cookbooks and knitting books, from there. And it is true that is something still works, keep it. I do exactly that. Our televisions are over thirty years old but they still work; love it!
There are a lot of recipes using sour cream in baking, such as coffee cake, muffins, etc.
Sounds great!
Use sour cream in place of cheese. Takes less for great flavor compared to cheese. Wal-Mart's brand of sour cream is half the cost of their brand of cheese ounce for ounce. Eastern European cuisines use more sour cream i think.
Sour cream biscuits is one thing I make. Also a stroganoff
I make French onion soup dip. Use a packet of French onion soup powder and combine together with the sour cream. Serve with savoury biscuits and cut fresh cucumber, carrots,red pepper. Enjoy from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺💯👍
yum
Your kitchen is very organized.
Thank you 😊
Banana peels are (according to WCCO in Minnesota) a source of potassium for plants!
I am from MN
Good morning Dawn, lovely talk, you are looking so good on video today. Have a great and wonderful peaceful day. Many blessings.
Thank you
I’m impressed that you weekly clean your pantry and refrigerator!!
Sandwiches get a bad rap. Even splurging on the ingredients, it still ends up way cheaper than most meals. I love Dave's bread, and real meats (like rotisserie chicken), spinach, that kind of thing. I also love avocado toast sandwiches.
Sour cream is a great topping for potatoes, Chilli, tacos. Make your own dip for veggies or chips. Use in scrambled eggs. How about a sour cream bundt or pound cake? Makes a great cream sauce or cream of tomato soup
Thanks for the tips!
Put sour cream on baked potatoes or on top of chili & beans.
If I have bananas that are about to go bad, I slice them onto a paper lined cookie sheet and stick it in the freezer. Once frozen, I pull them off the tray and put it in a baggie. Quick frozen treat for myself and the dogs love it too, especially on hot days! My go-to sandwich is a fried egg sandwich.
Peach bread sounds delicious!!
Great, Dawn your pretty much stocked very well. I have a small kitchen too in my townhouse, but I organize everything pretty well, and I also had a side pantry which helps a lot. I do the same with lettuce, wash it and store in a plastic bag. Whenever we want a salad it’s already prepped.
That is fantastic
Sour cream is a staple at my house, and I will say I have a bit go bad, but rarely! I love to add a spoonful to my soups, many of them it takes the taste up a notch in deliciousness...,you can even add a little stevia or sweetner of your choice to make as a sweet tipping for deserts...great videos!!!
Great idea!!
Forgot about that- love to put a big scoop of sour cream on my chili. It pairs nicely with the fresh jalapeños I slice and put on top as well.
@angielay3313 oh yes, we used to love to put sour cream in our chili along with some tortilla chips, yummy also pinto beans
I love that this is so organized 😊
Dawn, we aren't too fussed with quinoa but it is so darn nutritious that a way I incorporate it into our meals to go unnoticed is thus;
1/ mix it with rice and boil together.
2/ throw it in with the potatoes when boiling them. Mashes well with the potatoes.
Fantastic
When you bring your bananas home I recommend that you wash them just like any other fruit because the peel is sprayed with a chemical that helps them ripen faster because they’re taking off the tree when they’re green. Then if you wrap the top of it in plastic wrap before putting it on your little banana rack there they will last a lot longer.
sour cream is good on anything put it on your mac and cheese or put some ranch seasoning in it and make dip for chips and crackers. chip and dip makes a light meal or snack
Hello, to use up sour cream I often make a chocolate cake, even if I don't use it I will still make it and then freeze it for an up and coming birthday. Again, you are right there are many recipes on YT on how to make a chocolate cake using sour cream and they are all easy and delicious....Good Luck!
I usually don’t buy sour
cream unless it’s around the holidays when I make dip for potato chips and/or vegetables…You can incorporate it into basically anything during the week, especially since you cook and bake so much! Mash potatoes, soups, sweet breads…😊
I'm forgetful when it comes to remembering soaking beans so I put dry beans in the slow cooker. I can't forget them in the slow cooker.
The slow cooker or crock pot 🍲🍯 is my best friend. It's not that I'm lazy, it's just that I work outside the home, and let's face it 110 as opposed to using my 220 oven... saves me money 💰.
A spoonful of sourcream in tomato-based soup & chili is yummy! A dollop on your beans as well.
Great tips!! Don't let things go to waste, and don't over buy too much fresh veggies/fruit with the intention to use them.
Great tip!
Make a dip or a cucumber salad with sour cream, add it to cakes or cookies when you bake. You could make tzatziki, delicious with meat .Put it on baked potatoes, make a big batch of mashed potatoes, season it , add sour cream and freeze on portions. I do that to save time. Also when I find cauliflower in special, I put it in mashed potatoes, I cook the cauliflower with the potatoes, 1/5 of cauliflower to the rest of the potatoes. Sure, when the they are defrosted, they dont look appetizing but warm them up and stir, YUM!
Yum
Sour cream, mushroom soup, mixed frozen veggies, shredded cheese and french fries onions.......bake at 350 until bubble.
Sour cream uses: Chip Dip, some people put it on chili or taco's, there are sour cream cookies that are similar to sugar cookies, in dishes like beef/noodles, enchiladas, on baked potatoes. I mainly end up making chip dip or if all else fails I put it out for the animals in the yard and it goes fast :)
You are so inspiring. Keep up the great work and all the great tips.
I find quinoa best used incorporated into other foods rather than as a side dish. Batch cook quinoa, store in frig, add to salads, casseroles, meatloaf, wherever you add a grain. It isn’t necessary to completely replace the grain with quinoa.
I add left over sour cream to mashed potatoes. Taste good 😋
I keep a few cans of beans around. Sometimes they are more practical, like when we are on generator due to a power outage.
I grow most of my own spices. Its pretty easy to grow a lot of the common ones.
We add whole grains to most soup or stews. It allows us to add more fiber and use less mear. Wheat berries and barley are chewy and satisfying in a thick stew.
Buckwheat groats are more expensive. They are gluten free which is important for people with celiac disease like our daughter so we only use those whwn she is home.
My husband prefers cold cereal in the morning. But its expensive. However, its very easy to pop parboiled rice. I do it in hot salt in a wok. I use a fine mesh strainer to seperate the rice from the popping medium, (I use table salt) which can be used over and over. I rinse the wok, melt a little bit of white sugar in it, and toss the popped rice in it. It dries in about 5 min on parchment paper. The whole thing takes me about 20 min every week.
Very smart
Try using reusable bamboo paper towels. Buy less bananas that way no baking of bread. Many frozen fruits are all concentrated sugar try to eat fresh fruit in season. Sour cream in tomato soup yummy.
I love to use an instant pot to make beans . No soak and they have take 35-45 minutes depending on what type of bean. And rice takes 5 minutes in an IP.
Regarding freezer organization, I use small/medium cardboard boxes (like Amazon, etc.) to organize instead of paying for plastic containers that usually have slanted sides that waste space (cardboard boxes have straight up sides, no wasted space). I'm a single senior so it's hard to go through an entire gallon of milk before expiration, freezing actual gallon jug is cumbersome to organize remainder of freezer goods. I saved tall plastic containers with lids (like Planters dry roasted peanuts containers, etc.) to portion out milk usually 3 cups worth. If you have a problem with small items slipping out of door shelves, use tissue boxes to block that slide-under-space (tissue boxes have LOTS of uses!).
How wise
Baked potato with sour cream ,cheese or anything you need to use up❤Australian Cristina 😊
You have tons of energy. I dont know how you get so much done. You can do beans in big batches in the crockpot then freeze them in single portions. I do that.
Sour cream!!! Great on nachos, baked potatoes, chili, potato soup....
One good thing about having a small kitchen is that it forces you to declutter and organize. Everyone has given great suggestions for using sour cream. My suggestion is to put it in the coldest part of the refrigerator. Mine is in the back closest to the freezer. Keep it tightly closed, and don't pay too much attention to the expiration date. It is "sour" cream after all, lol. Of course, don't use it if there's mold or it's dried out. Do you usually keep your broom out? I think you could store it in your pantry if you wanted. You're so organized and keep a very tidy house. Great video. Love to all, Linda 💕
True! My current apartment kitchen is 1/5 the size of my former kitchen in my large home when I was raising the kids. It still works. I use my linen closet for the dutch oven and seldom-used cooking tools like blender, crockpot.
@@cathyallshouse2981 That's a great idea! Was there anything you gave away while downsizing that you wish you'd kept?
I need to find a better place to store it. Thank you.
@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom I keep mine in the pantry, that's why I mentioned it.
I do everything u showed on this video, I have 3 freezers actually. I live in a rural area so the stores are far and I make sure to keep certain thing on hand. But I save every leftover even if it's 2 or 3 pieces of broccoli, I'll freeze them and add them to the Next meal that needs them, no food goes to waste here, even the dogs get it before I throw it out.
I put sour cream in my mashed potatoes. I make a big batch using my instant pot and freeze in dinner size portions.
Hi, I think we all missed you. ❤❤
I had all the ingredients in my pantry and freezer for a while to make spaghetti sauce. I batch cooked a large pot today now we have many meals stashed away in the freezer
Good for you!
Sounds great!
You can freeze sour cream and use it for cooking. Sour cream noodle casserole from Pioneer woman is my favourite.
Where I'm from, we add sour cream as a garnish/ condiment/ topping to soups when serving, and some folks also love using it as a spread on bread instead of, say, cream cheese. Mushrooms sauteed with onions in sour cream is also a good and relatively cheap thing to make. I also love using mine in mac n cheese and pasta salads.
Sounds great!
I use sour cream in a stroganoff recipe, also mixed with dry ranch seasoning packet, it makes a great veggie dip. It’s also an ingredient in the chicken casserole I make. I buy the regular size containers at Aldi, so we rarely ever waste it. ❤
I also like it just a spoonful on any dish like soup, stww, the beans you were talking about. It freshens it up.
Sour cream - popular Australian cook and TV personality Maggie Beer has a great and easy recipe for sour cream pastry, for pies
Sometimes when I watch your videos, I wish the image or the sound could be better, but then I remember that you dont waste. You use what you have, you MAKE DO I subscribed because I like your positive CAN DO attitude more than anything. I really love your down to earth vibe and your desire to better yourself all the time. You try to be honest with yourself by accepting that you dont alway reach your goals as fast as you want, but you have the greatest of qualities: you persevere. I am your age and you are a role model for me. Keep up the great content!
You are a sweetheart
I also have a "one butt" kitchen. It gets pretty cluttered looking at times but a lot of good stuff has come out of that kitchen.
Sounds yummy
We don’t use much sour cream, so a few years ago I started buying small size Greek yogurt in sale to replace it, no one notices and I get multiple functions from it
I used to used sour cream as substitute of mayonnaise in potato salad and sandwiches to cut out some calories
When my now afukt chikdren were young, a singke mom with 3 chikdren, she had soup( canned)& sabdwiches mist nights, in sst, or sunday she wiukd mux uo karge batches if egg salad ir tuna salad, shed but lunch mest,inky at ckesrence prices.
Great info! I dont even buy sour cream anymore...i buy plain greek yogurt instead and besides eating it with fruit and honey I use it in place of all the things I used to use sour cream for. " your freezer is your friend" no truer words spoken.
I keep my bacon, flour, sugar, , breads, tortillas, cheeses and like you, some veggies ( whole bags of jalapenos) in the freezer. I watch exp dates and if freezable throw the item in the freezer rather than out the door.
Sounds great!
Put some sour cream in banana bread - makes it so moist!
Sour cream, mini marshmallows and a can (or 2) of mandarin oranges (drained). Tasty, quick, and refreshing side dish.
Sour cream makes a nice salad dressing or mayo substitute on sandwiches. It can be used as a topping on almost anything: toast, tacos, casserole, vegetables
Thanks for the tips!
You can mix your sour cream when making vegetable soup to make it creamy vegetable soup😉
I add melted cream cheese mixed with sour cream and can milk to my soups . It gives it a nice creamy flavor 😋
Great tip!
Put some 100$% cacao in a dish with 1/2 cup of sour cream & stevia, (monkfruit, eryritol etc,) & stir. Chill in the freezer if desired. A great and quick dessert.
Sounds great!
Sour Cream in a Cake mix or homemade cake mix is fantastic. Makes things super moist when baked! Especially in chocolate cake or chocolate cupcakes!
Sounds great!
Either store sour cream in its original container, or transfer it to an air-tight storage container or freezer bag (be sure to squeeze any excess air out). Write the date on the container and place in the freezer. Sour cream can be stored in the freezer for up to six months. Also, when making potatoes, I use sour cream in place of milk and butter - nobody has ever complained! Finally, it is a great product to use in salad dressings; I like it in Ranch dressing, Creamy Italian, and avocado dressings. Mix up a big batch of salad dressings (I love my immersion blender!). Homemade salad dressing takes less than ten minutes - including getting out the ingredients and cleaning up afterwards, is much healthier than the chemical-riddled store-bought versions, and tastes much better. Once you've mixed in salt and lemon juice, the sour cream will make it another month.
I used to mix a package of Lipton Onion soup mix with sour cream for chip dip. You can also use of package of vegetable soup mix.
Sounds great!
I've saved alot by using my food saver. I use to freeze food that I get on sale like the meatballs I got the other day...and some turkey ground meat and some veggie burgers that I will try one of these days really soon. All of them were managers specials which I look for when I go to Gaint and they don't always have them but they did then n which I was happy to find them. And that is what I do to save money by buying managers specials and staying on by using my grocery list. The one who is reading this; How do u save at the grocery store?? I'd like to hear how you save. Maybe we can learn from one another....Happy saving...😊
Look for reduced shelf isle in grocery store s, it may be sitting in the aisle next to vegetables and bakery items, also shop loss leader items you need from your local grocery flyers. They can be found on line as well. Some stores also allow price matching. A N D always use your store loyalty card program!!!
@sjbutler2330 that is a great suggestion to use the lost leaders which I sometimes do and sometimes I don't bc they are not good for me. But the other suggestions are not timely for me. But thanks for the heads up.
I have photographic memory and remember prices. So I cycle the loss leaders.
I save money by buying vegetables on sale and pickling them.
@babalu-oc6iu that is so Good. It must amaze u on how prices keep going up. But by shopping the lost leaders is top notch...so happy that u do that. Much success in doing it for a long time....
great idea
There are several baked goods that call for sour cream. In fact there is a sour cream pound cake you could make with it. Wish a little into eggs before you cook them instead of milk. Stir it into soup at the end. Make beef stroganoff and sneak it in there by just reducing the amount of heavy whipping cream. Google things to do with left over sour cream.
Great tips! As for the sour cream, Hidden Valley Ranch sells their flavoring packets and suggests using yogurt or sour cream.
Sounds great!
You can use sour cream to make homemade cake frosting. You can also add to Mac and cheese
Great idea!
I use extra sour cream to make old-fashioned jello salads. My mom made a jello pineapple salad that was delicious. It is so nice and light and you would never know there was sour cream in it.
Great idea!!
Regarding your sour cream, storing it on its head helps it stay fresher longer. Also I use half sour cream and a half mayonnaise when I make potato or macaroni salad, it makes it a little less tart.Throw in a good size portion when you make potato soup, with bacon and onions it’s like a stuffed baked potato. Absolutely delicious.❤
Thanks to everyone for the great ideas on sour cream. Going to try the ground beef and A1 sauce recipe soon. Also, the idea of freezing dried beans. I have so many packages - always afraid they'll get too old. Many thanks for sharing.
Thanks Dawn.
Thanks Dawn !! Good tips - I like that kitchen flooring 😊🎃 happy Halloween
Happy Halloween
Have you considered making your own Hummus? We make ours and it tastes way better than store bought. Just chickpeas, water, lemon, olive oil, salt, and tahini.
Yes, i bought the stuff to buy and make it
Love your videos Dawn. Our kitchen is tiny too but opens to the family room so seems big. I just look at it like less space to clean.
Great idea!!
Sour cream is used a lot in baking, as an ingredient and as cream (frosting.) If you make your own dips and such, that becomes a must have even without baking. I was trying to use examples that were not mentioned already.
True! I love to mix brown sugar into sour cream with a dash of vanilla to glaze berries with. Delicious.
yum
Thanks for all the tips. Totally agree about the sour cream. I use about half then the other half goes bad. I’m thinking about buying those little individual foil packets of sour cream instead.
You are so welcome!
I love Sour cream . Happy Halloween 🎃
Great video. Awesome tip about going through pantry and freezer weekly to see what you have. I am going to start doing that as i buy stuff i already have❤❤❤
Loved this video!!!! Simple is much better!!
Yes! Thank you!
