    My husband picked me up 4 avocados in varying degrees of ripeness for birthday week breakfasts. We are going out to eat also but I have a hard time spending a ton of money just to eat in a sit down restaurant. Many times the food just isn't that good. Love your beautiful little plates of food. See you Tuesday.

    • @CareFreeLivingChannel
      @CareFreeLivingChannel  7 місяців тому

      That's a great idea using your grocery bags to put the stinky trash in first! Good way to re-use an item. The "it" cream I'd never heard of, but glad I got it. I have no idea why it was at the food pantry, but I'm gonna give it a try! It is scented so I'll try the cream on my hands to test if I have an allergic reaction!

  • @saravannorman5347

    I love your videos. You have such a calm energy about them. My 2 leftover tips are that salad dressing makes a great marinade for chicken, and if you are using a microwave to reheat rice (or pizza) put an ice cube in with it. The ice cube doesn’t melt, it steams the rice so it tastes as good as fresh. I don’t even put it in the bowl. Just next to it inside the microwave

    • @CareFreeLivingChannel

    I appreciate you sharing what you are doing with these items you receive. I used to volunteer at that food bank near me and I learned so much and donated often. Does the food pantry provide all of your food for the week, or do they act as a supplement since inflation has caused food prices to skyrocket, and many of us find that we do not get to eat as well, as much, or as nutritionally dense as we used to. I always like to know everyone's story as I've been pretty low in life many times myself. Also, LOVE hibiscus tea. I drink it iced most of the time. NIce to know someone else who drinks it.

Most of the refrigerated items I use come from the food pantry although I do make fill-in grocery trips as needed. Hibiscus tea is wonderful, I enjoy it. That is an item I am able to buy in bulk online because of the food pantry.

I feel no one should go hungry especially in this country where so much food is wasted and I am always happy to hear stories of when people are being helped by such wonderful organizations. It makes me happy to donate goods or my time. And you gave me a great idea since I see your food bank takes household supplies too. I am going to see if the one by me also takes them. I know how expenseive they can be and how hard it can be to afford food and sometimes other supplies. Espcially things like deodorant, feminine products, etc.
