Hey mama, I'm a grandma, but we have a lot in common. My husband and I are raising our two grandkids and I'm here to tell you, if it hadn't been for food banks, we wouldn't have starved, but we defnitely wouldn't have had food choices. I was extremely grateful for any help we got. The cutest thing was when we would pick up what the pantry gave us, they knew I had kids and they would cater towards the kids with the extras... like snack cakes, cookies, fruit juices, etc. The kids would get so excited! It was almost like christmas! They would get so excited. fortunately we don't need to use the pantry anymore, so I don't take advantage of it, so others who may need it can.
You inspire folks to be able to eat! We Love watching you and appreciate you God Bless y'all ❤️ Joann in Virginia
@@hjoanncarrico8785 🥰 thank you. I will continue to attempt to educate others and encourage anyone that can use the help to go. There is so much food that is wasted and tossed in the landfill that no one should be going without.
you have a beautiful looking kitchen also I loved the haul thanks for the video
@@CorbinRios thank you, 😊 it is my favorite room in the whole house. 🏠
My husband and I both are working. I work 35 hours a week as a caregiver and what I get payed a week/month. We are paying off some credit card debt and from when I had some health issues a few years ago. And know I go to 4 to 5 food pantry/food banks. Every week and it sure helps us out.
@@nicolecrawford5598 that awesome to hear that you to are able to help stay afloat financially because of the utilization of the food banks and food pantries. I really wish everyone knew that they are there for all who can use the help. It makes a tremendous difference in the quality of food that we eat.
Dear Amber.Haters are everywhere.Just ignore them.I love your Video very much.Watch them all the Time.Love you Girl.Petra from Germany
@@petramenges7694 hey!! You are so right. Thank you 😊 Love you too!!!
The Cabot Mac and cheese is really good! I haven’t tried the American cheese one bc I haven’t seen that one. We’ve tried the sharp Mac and cheese from Cabot! 😊
@@elizabethshort6997 ohhh I bet the sharp cheddar is really good. I’m excited to try this one as I know the Cabot cheese is really tasty. 😊
Hi from seattle .just stopping by
@@doloreswilson6698 hi!!! How are you?
I like when you show us the food turn the camera around
@@rameetta5550I will keep that in mind.
Nice haul today Amber. Great food selection.
Love 💕 and Hugs. 💙💙💙
@@lindabeard488 thank you 😊
Love 💕 and Hugs 🥰 🩵🩵🩵
I have severe IBS and eat ramen every day for lunch because it is easy on my gut. I add veggies to the soup for the nutrition.
@@MsRene98 ahhh I would’ve never guessed them to be easy on the gut as I was told to limit how much of them I consumed because they were very hard for the body to digest and could really irritate my UC. However you do have a great point….. adding all the veggies does add a great bit of nutrition to them.
Love your videos I go down once a month to get a food box’s for my family ❤
Yes just keep ignoring the haters. My daughter got her tattoos free so people shouldn't judge.
@@GuenevereSlater exactly…. Haters are going to hate!!!
I love your creative car use. I do that too. Its so hard with only one car
@@soothingsymphonies yes, it’s not only allowing us to still bring in some income but I am able to get a break and be able to attend the food pantry!!! It can be difficult with one vehicle that’s for sure but we will make do.
I haven't seen Golden crisps in forever that is a yummy cereal
@@robbynburris3780 oh yes, it’s so yummy. One of my absolute favorites.
👋🏻 Amber! Sending high fives for a great video and wishes for a great week ahead.
@@karenm7433 thank you!!! 👋 hi five sent right back to you!!!
Great haul!!!❤❤❤
@@evelynmcdonald9981 thank you 😊
Going to food bank is good. Alotbof people need help.
@@doloreswilson6698 yes yes yes 🙌 I wish everyone would realize that they too are welcome to go to the food banks…. We ALL are needing some
Help now a days.
Haters need to get a life. I think you are awesome. You are doing what is best for your family. You even have a garden, I wish I could but I have been known to kill plants 🤣 I work about 45 hours a week and get a free tank of gas per week from work. I still go to the food pantry once a month. You do you. I think you are a great person and mom.
@@nancyrosas6772 thank you 😊 lol not killing the plants 🌱 that’s a nice help. I wish more companies would do that for their employees. But yes I agree we all need the help sometimes and the food pantry is sometimes the help that is needed. Thank you 😊
Awesome haul
@@clinton65565 thank you 😊
@@clinton65565 thank you 😊
I'm allergic to strawberries aswell and I eat them to lol
@@nonas8480 yep… I’m not going to stop. They are so tasty and it’s not a deathly allergy anyway.
❤❤❤❤
@@CarolLayaou 🩵🩵🩵
I don’t like spaghetti o’s either lol
@@joyryde65 yeah I just don’t know why everyone else loves them. Just not my thing.
Enjoy!
@@marshanewman5602 thank you 😊
Good haul.
@@pammolling5034 thank you 😊 I must say…. Everyone in the house loves the bowl coozies… they are perfect!!! I love everything you sent and it all means so much that you thought of me and my family. And I must say the cute little leaf stitching on the runner is the absolute cutest. Small detail that I didn’t notice right away and when I saw it I just smiled. It’s absolutely perfect.
Yessss love my okra.
@@Tootie168 me too.
Haters are miserable people, don't worry about them. You are awesome!
@@robinschmersahl8641 🥰 thank you!!!
❤❤❤
Wrap your lettuce heads and paper towels and turn them upside down and they'll last a whole lot longer
@@robbynburris3780 thank you 😊

@@jennifermunn6898 oh nice!!!! You certainly did get some wonderful items. You are right those beans will be delicious come fall and winter. I am looking forward to making a big ole pot of beans once the cooler weather comes. My favorite beans are pinto beans…. Mmmm with cornbread and chow chow!!!! I bet those peaches 🍑 are very nice. Great food bank!!!
Good for you delete those negative people .I do food banks and I have a new car and now I don't work my husband can't work ,he gets social security our income sucks
@@user-tn6dm7bu2e yes I will just continue to delete and move on. I will not allow them to affect me. Food banks/pantries are for all who can use the help.
❤

I stand with Josh! Diet Coke forever!!
@@FrugalPants ehhh Diet Pepsi is better. I think it’s because Dt coke is what my mother drank growing up and I associate it with her. Lol 😂

@@joannaazar7396 always!! Thank you 😊
Peeps last so long … and honestly are great to roast over a fire or on a S’more 😊great haul girl … if the first salad is to far gone make sure to pull the packet of goodness from it before tossing ❤
@@shannonperez1984 they really do, I have never tried roasting them. I wonder if that would be better. Might have to give it a try. 😊thank you
I always enjoy your videos , and I like your personality .
@@gwencorkum thank you!!! 😊 I’m just me!!! That’s all I can be.
Amber my favorite videos are when you're doing them in the kitchen I love it this way. So good to see you friend😊❤
@@robbynburris3780 thank you!!😊 I really enjoy it as well!! I feel like doing it this way I am able to tell you what we received one thing at a time and what/how we can use the item to help our family. 😊🩵
My hamsters love baby food
@@Rebecca-zp4gm I bet they do. I wonder if my hamster would like it. I may try giving him some.
Just give him a little bit. You do realise they can eat things like eggs, meat like chicken, soggy cereal etc? My winter white hamsters love sunflower seeds, meal worms and anything they can pouch for later.
@@Rebecca-zp4gm I have given him some thing like sunflower seeds and small pieces of veggies. Just never given him much of anything else. I’ll have to start sharing some of the other stuff with him. Is there anything I should never give him?
They can eat most things. I wouldn’t give him things like candy, dried fruits etc. Keep it to small amounts and introduce variety slowly.
5:01 I like ramen noodles
Who doesn't like Spaghettios...also me!
🤢
@@FrugalPants hahaha one more thing in common . Lol I find them to be absolutely disgusting 🤢
For all of the karens/ darrens talking about tattoos, 1 of the main men at a foor bank I use is sleeved out, tats on his neck, chest and nack. Also he did 15 years in prison. He is now a Deacon in his church, married and has 3 kids. Don't judge a book by its cover.
We are all flawed, it's too bad every one can just deal with it 😊
@@pawpawmike7372 exactly 👍 we all have a past and there is no telling when someone has gotten the ink on them but I agree with you, don’t judge a book by its cover.
@@robbynburris3780 that is perfectly said!!!
Honestly, font respond, or even mention the negative comments. The people who do this feed off the attention, so if you do nothing, it starves them of oxygen.
@@colettebishop2173 thank you, 😊 you do have a point.
Why do people judge people for utilizing things that are meant to be utilized? No one knows what someone life was like a yr ago or 2 yrs ago or even 10 yrs ago. Maybe you had the money for tattoos and to buy a house then. Maybe since then circumstances changed and you now need some help. Should you have to lose your home for that? You certainly can't delete your tattoos. A little over 2 yrs ago I decided I needed a new job because of the high stress level and the lack of time off (I cashed out 240 hrs of PTO). Unfortunately the only thing out there were things where I would have to take a pay cut because I had worked at my job for quite a while and moved my way up. I ended up taking a $5 an hr pay cut. Luckily we were able for my mental health to make that work by omitting things and being frugal. Not everyone can do that but some are forced to do that. People need to stop and think before speaking and judging.
@@kelsijackson1905 everything you just said is spot on. I have learned that unfortunately there will always be those that judge and assume. I on the other hand will always encourage any and everyone that can utilize the help to go. It’s a blessing to my family and helps to relieve a ton of stress from me and I understand taking a pay cut for the mental load.
People always have something to say. They are missrable 😢
We pay taxes we can use services
I love all your videos and nothing wrong with your tattoos and I just don't understand why people are so rude just tell them to kiss your @###$$$_ oops sorry lol
@@rebeccabaker572 lol 😂 thank you!!! I knew that people will always be judgmental when it comes to tattoos from the very beginning even before I was in need of the food bank. I to have no clue why people have to be so rude. It’s just not needed. If you don’t like something just keep on moving. 😆 that might be exactly what I start telling them.
Have you been to Yellowstone Amber? Such a cute shirt!
@@elizabethbarrett5303 no, I would love to one day. I have no idea where this shirt came from but it is super soft. It’s getting a bit bigger on me but I still love it.
@@MamaToAll_Homestead you look so good. How much weight have you lost? You are killing it girl.
@@elizabethbarrett5303 thank you, overall I have lost 160lbs from my largest which was about 7 years ago. In the past year I have lost around 45 lbs. still have 39 lbs to go to hit my goal weight.
Halloween Peeps in stores now!
@@robertadunaway7030 oh my…. They make Halloween peeps???? I did not know that.
