  • 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. 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 Sometimes the food is very out of date and not suitable.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
    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
    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! These are uncertain times, but you can be certain to plan, prepare and get stocked on essentials.

    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 food bank help. Each county has a social services department that can direct you to food pantry resources in your area.
    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.
    HOW TO QUALIFY FOR FOOD BANK?
    They go by how much money you make in most cases.
    FOOD PANTRY MEALS ARE SUCH A BLESSING!

    Loved seeing that likke Chick cake at the panty. With those golden berries with the moldy one, you may already know this but your berries when you get them from there, dump them in a bowl with cold water and a splash of white vinegar. swish them around and let them sit for about 5 mins. It will kill the mold that you may not see on the rest of them and you can end up having them for a weeik or two longer. Works great with grapes as well. And it is a game changer for raspberries which last like hardly a few days usually.

    The shrimp was a fantastic find. Shrimp are great in a wrap. Tortilla, salad mix, cherry tomatoes halved, grated cheese and any dressing or mayo and chopped pickles (we like dill with shrimp) . These are nice as the weather warms up. Or make a salad. Make fried rice add shrimp to warm them at end of cooking.
    I think you'll enjoy the shrimp they're so versatile and with your creativity you'll come up with some good tips. Enjoy😊

    Gor-gon-zola, it's Italian blue cheese. Goldenberry is another name for gooseberries. They just call them salad shrimp because they are small and wouldn't be preferable for frying or making a scampi but you can totally do that with them. People just like bigger shrimp for those types of meals. You just need to careful because they are precooked. You could make a scampi pasta, just defrost the shrimp and add at the last minute just to heat them but not over cook.

    Great Scores Sarah!! the salad shrimp are called that because they are tiny. Used in shrimp salad and stuff. You can also just sprinkle them on a regualr salad too so good. If you ever go to red lobster you can get them as an add on to you garden salad to make it more fancy. lol. They are fun. I get them sometimes for the house. YOu don't have to cook them really they can just thaw in water, or you can super quickly blanche them on the stove or with water from your tea kettle.

      Adding shrimp to salad, I don't think I've ever tried that. I will have to give it a try! I do enjoy seafood. I haven't been to a seafood restaurant in years! Sound like fun.

    If your basil plant doesn't survive, you can let it dry and collect all of the leaves. That's your dry basil, soil and a biodegradable pot that you can still reuse.

      Cleaning out a refrigerator is quite the chore! I know what you mean. Anytime I work on a project, I take breaks when needed. The chores will always be there to come back to. It is nice having a mini-fridge. Putting it up onto the storage rack really helped. Before, it was closer to the floor and became frustrating to get into! Mr. Turtle just won't help me with chores. I guess his job is to look pretty outside! Have a wonderful day!

      So glad you are enjoying my videos! Thank you for watching from the UK! Great question, the food pantry has guidelines for each category of items. Some items are flexible like bread, desserts, fruits and veggies, meaning that the max can change during a shopping trip! They evaluate how much they have, how many clients have been served and what food is expected to arrive. Some items are pre-determined. Tissue paper, soup and canned meats is 2 unless inventory is very low, then they may decrease to 1 can per category. I shop for a "family of 1" and I believe they offer a ton of food and supplies for 1 person! Have a wonderful day and thank you for your question!
