      The food pantry usually separates the baby items, but the bars were in the main area, so I just didn't notice it was for Toddlers! I'm glad to get all the food pantry goodies I got. It's been a great week of meals. That's a smart idea on taking those baby food pouches on a hike!

    I know that toddler and baby type foods do not go that quickly at the food pantries, at least in my area they don’t. I think you’re better off keeping them if you’re actually going to use them. Great haul as always. God bless sweet friend.

    Hi! While I’m not 100% sure what the white rack is for, one of my favorite things to do while thrifting is repurposing.
    Even if it’s not for pan storage, it’d be perfect for that. It could be used for mail sorting or dishes, but since the slots are too wide, that may not be the best choice.

    • @CareFreeLivingChannel
      @CareFreeLivingChannel  23 часа назад

      Yes finding new ways to use an item is a fun part of thrift store shopping. I thought of mail, too! I absolutely love to shop at the thrift store, it's my equivalent of going to the mall!

    Hi Sarah, Thanks for another great video. I love the variety at your food pantry. It's nice that they have so much variety and let you pick what you want/need. If other places would follow suit it would cut down on so much waste. Your salad looked especially delicious this week. I think the rack you have is meant for pot lids (although I could be wrong). Unfortunately, I think your shoes should be laid to rest (it looks like they've had a well-lived, long life). Have a great rest of your week and see you next time.

      At the request of another subscriber, I had to "check the tail situation" on the Easter Monkey! He indeed is a lamb, but he thinks he's a Bunny! I been calling him the Easter Monkey so long, it stuck. He's part of the Bunny Crew and gets to live inside with his other Easter Friends! Sometimes they have a dust-up and prank each other but then I corral them and put them back on the shelf.
