  • FRUGAL LIVING video is here! The cost of living and the price of food has increased so much that many people use a food bank or food pantry to make ends meet. Nothing wrong with living the frugal living lifestyle! The food pantry is a great resource to obtain food and household supplies. There is no need to go hungry when there are great resources out there for everyone to use, if you qualify. I encourage you to apply to your local food pantry or food bank if you need help with groceries. It's also a great place to meet new people in the community. If you do not qualify for the food pantry or the food bank then please check out your local churches as that could be another option to get help.
    FRUGAL LIVING FOOD PANTRY HAUL 2024!
    Food Haul & Food Pantry Hauls Are Such A Blessing To Be Able To Have
    There is no shame in going to a Food Pantry, a Food Bank or a local church for help with groceries. The cost of food and the cost of living is high. If you have low-income, lower income or no income then the food pantry may be a great option for you! Inflation prices are rapidly increasing, so more people are using their community resources and programs than ever before. Using your local community resources to help offset the cost of food can help you stretch your paycheck or retirement funds further. Keep in mind that sometimes the food has gone bad. There are times I have received items from the food pantry that were spoiled. Sometimes the food is very out of date and not suitable. Please check the best by dates! If you receive spoiled items, then I'm sure it was an accident. Food banks and food pantries move a lot of inventory and there are times when the food has turned. They have a lot of food that comes through and they're not perfect. Volunteers help rotate and shelf products at the food pantry. Just keep your eye out for best by dates to make sure you are getting the best quality items you can find!
    Frugal Living - Foodie Food Haul - Budget Meals
    I live a Frugal Lifestyle. I shop sales and squirrel away supplies for winter. I am mindful to stock up on everyday items to save money in the long run so I can pay for daily living expenses like electricity. Every purchase I make is a financial investment in my future. It could be a bottle of water or a can of beans. Part of my frugal living lifestyle is using my local food pantry and shopping at thrift stores. Each organization has their own rules and if you qualify, you become a consumer to their program so please follow their rules to maintain a good relationship with your food pantry or food bank. I still have bills like everyone else and I budget according to my finances. Although I am considered financially poor or low-income, I do not feel poor. I eat well.
    Frugal Living Budget Meals!
    Thank you for watching my food pantry haul video! It really means a lot to me to see everyone watching my videos. I enjoy making these videos to help others and show what is going on in the East Coast. I hope my meals inspire you to cook at home to save money. Look out for more videos in the future! And thank you to everyone that subscribed to my channel! It means so much to me!

    HOW TO GET FOOD BANK HELP?
    Contact your local churches or you can ask the county. There is nothing wrong for wondering how to get help.
    WHAT FOOD DO YOU GET FROM A FOOD BANK?
    All types! I get all types of food from the food bank from unknown brands to name brands. Each shopping trip is different. I also get a lot of seasonal vegetables to cook with. Some food pantries offer staple items like beans and lentils, other food banks may even offer organic food.
    HOW DOES A FOOD PANTRY WORK?
    Every Food Bank and Food Pantry has their own set of rules, so make sure to call and speak with staff that can guide you to apply. Some go by how much money you make (income guidelines).
    FOOD PANTRY NEAR ME TO DROP OFF FOOD?
    The best way to find a location near you is to contact your local churches, google search it or contact social services.

      Thank you! The haul was so good, and I'm stocking up on some of the "forever" foods like lentils. The weather has been mostly warm and rainy. No super cold nights yet, but Fall is upon us and soon Winter! It's always a good idea to be as prepared as possible, just in case.

      Awww thank you so much! I'm enjoying my living room setup a lot! It's the most cozy-feeling furniture re-arrangement I've done so far. I love thrift store shopping! I had my eye on a fuzzy blanket for the daybed sofa but it got sold at half off (I was going for 75% off), but that's the way the cookie crumbles! I'm enjoying the cleared off countertops in the kitchen.

    Hi Sarah!
    Enjoyed your food pantry video. That was a lot of good food you received.
    Mr. Turtle, Honey Bunny and friends are all looking content.
    Could you one day do a video on how you eat the sardines? My father used to eat them in sandwiches with a slice of onion. He taught my kiddies to eat them (sardine & onion sandwiches).
    Enjoy your week! ❤😊

    Aloe plants do better when their roots are crowded. They don’t like big pots. I would just enjoy the plant in its current pot. It was a wonderful haul this week. I think the ice cream was my favorite since it is very rare to get. I had to put the video on pause to get half a bar of a Klondike bar to finish watching.

    • @CareFreeLivingChannel

      Thank you for the info on the Aloe plant! I did not know they like to be in small pots. The haul was really good, so glad to get a bunch of salads. The ice cream is yummy. I was surprised they had it but glad they did. Klondike bars are delicious!

      @CareFreeLivingChannel  2 години тому

      Oh Wow! I did not realize it was so valuable. I got it for $2 on sale at the thrift store (original price was $8). Thank you so much for letting me know the re-sell value. And thank you for watching my video!

    Sarah, you need to repot it to a bigger pot, it is root bound. Aloes are super growers and need to be transplanted in bigger pots ever so often... also water it about 1x weekly and they don't like alot of sun...they are sun and shade.. hope this helps....

    Mom gets to go tonthe food bank once a month. They already have whatever boxed for you. She got 3 boxes crackers, jar of peanut butter, a bag of walnuts, a bag of whole almonds, a 1 lb. Bag of pinto beans, 2 cans applesauce, 1 can tomato soup and a box of oatmeal. Not much for a month.😢

    • @CareFreeLivingChannel
      @CareFreeLivingChannel  2 години тому

      I agree, that's not a lot of food for 1 month. I hope it helps a little. Especially the Wanuts and Almonds, those are great to get! I hope your Mom is allowed more food on the next food pantry trip.

    Sarah, you got some great items from the food pantry this time. Just curious, do you ever show your freezer? I know you put what you get from the food pantry in it, but is that about all you keep in it? Not trying to be nosey, just curious, as I have never seen you put anything in there. :) Thanks so much for sharing.

    • @CareFreeLivingChannel
      @CareFreeLivingChannel  2 години тому

      Great question! I focus on the fridge part not so much on the freezer. It's pretty small and packed. Any frozen items that don't fit, I take to my Man's place, and use his freezer for storage. That greatly helps! Have a great night and thanks for watching!
