I’m glad I’m not the only one that keeps paint rollers and brushes in their fridge 😊
I LOVE the deer with her babies. 🦌 ❤
I was tidying my daughter’s kitchen (they are on vacation) alongside you while listening to your today’s vlog … great video 🥰… but, you know what made my day?…when you showed us the 🦌 🦌 🦌 outside ❣️… so beautiful!!! Have a blessed day Karen
Always so appreciate all the hard work Leo puts in supervising your work! LOL I really enjoy these videos that involve you going through your fridge and pantry and menu planning.
Your pantry looks so much better now! This evening, I have started the unpacking process after my 2.5 week road trip! And I needed a break to hydrate. I love your videos.
Karen, u r doing such a great job getting control of using up your food. U will see such a huge savings!
Hubby and I have been going to the pool 2 to 3 times a week for fun.
That is awesome!💝
You're doing a great job reducing food waste, Karen. Have you considered starting a compost bin for the food you do have to toss? It would provide free fertilizer for your lovely garden.
No. Because we live across the street from a lake I don't want to do anything that might draw rats. 🥴
@@ThisMainerMom That makes sense. My city is consistently named the rattiest city in the US. We luckily have a service locally that gives us a covered bucket each week and composts the material at a nearby farm. Because of the rats, I keep it inside :)
Hi Karen,you reminded me to do my meal planning,thank you so much ,it helps a lot!Your my biggest inspiration when it comes to taking care of your home.Just love all your tips 🤗Have a blessed day 🙏
I tricked myself today, the girls bedroom declutter came up and I didn't notice it was from 11 months ago. It was a good one. 😅 Thought I got lucky and you made two today. I guess my big project is walking, three days in a row. I also cleaned a wingback chair, only because my elderly dog had an accident while sitting in it. Oh, watered the plants. 🌻🍄
Meal planning is so helpful in keeping costs down.
Nice. Idea- love the deer! Have you watched Frugal Fit Mom? She’s great at shopping, meal planning etc
Since you have changed your organization, I feel like a piece of paper with binder clips could serve as a label spot for your baskets. It would be easy to change but tell you this basket is for canned veggies or condiments and etc.
Nice fridge and pantry tidy, Karen. It’s good to see you don’t stockpile as much in your pantry as you used too, so you get to see the bird background. It is obviously working as motivation to keep it tidy. You seem to be doing really well with your meal planning too.
Also, the deer were so gorgeous.
Hubby did our weekly shop yesterday, so I straightened out our food cupboard (as you know we keep very little extra inventory). Then I wiped down the refrigerator with a spray of disinfectant. Fortunately, it hardly gets any mess in it, so it’s never takes more than a couple on minutes. Today, I am going to take everything out of the crockery kitchen cabinets and give them a good disinfectant spray down and clean and then re-wash any crockery which hasn’t been used in a while, including our Christmas china and all our crystal glassware, to make sure everything stays clean.
I need to stick with going through and shopping my pantry before going to the store. I was bad the other day. I knew I had some sausage links to make sheet pans meals or pasta but I wanted a certain flavor. Then I didn’t really gage how much milk I really needed. When I decanted it I had 3 bottles. What I really probably needed was egg whites. I hope I have enough until next week. Dang me now I really didn’t need it. Normally I do keep my budget between 25- 40 depending on what I get. This week I spent 60. I mostly got perishable foods.
Funny cricket 😀
If I buy something that will spoil quickly, I meal plan to use it up. For examlpe, if I buy broccoli I'll do broccoli with rice today. Then do stir-fry tomorrow and finish it on the 3rd day before it goes bad.
Great mealplan Karen. Don't you and your family like fish &/ or tuna?
Love the deer.
Take care❤
My husband eats tuna and he and I like fish. When we eat it I buy it the same day we eat it! 😃
I notice that you guys tend to be very exact to the recipe kinds of people. Since you all love soup so much, maybe having a "fisherman's" stew sort of notion where once a week, very veggie that is about to die ends up in a crock pot soup with the open cartons of broth might make for a good side to help overturn some Leftovers.
The fridge temp depends on how full it is. Very full should be kept colder.
It doesn’t have to happen today list. Ha my favorite!
Your plastic wrap should have little tabs on the ends of the box for you to push in so they hold the roll and prevent it from pulling out when you dispense the wrap.
Hmmmm…I’ll have to check that out…
I get stuck with the man condiments. Loss of power inspired a clearout and wash down. Took apart fans and cleaned. Put clean sheets on my bed. Lawn man came today, looks much better! Son is out watering the garden. Tomorrow will be trip out to Eco recycling with garden and yard waste then a swing through the car wash. Son from Denver will be in Friday afternoon, Have not seen in six weeks.
❤ the deer 😊
Use your labels for the pantry
My guess is that it's Ivon's Coke..
Haha!! I bet you’re right!!! 🤣😂
❤
Cream cheese can be frozen
🦌
Also mustard doesn't need to go in the refrigerator.
Our fridge is set to 40* F
Tomatoes last longer when NOT stored in the refrigerator. They lose their flavor and get mushy in the frig.
Karen, do you get your toiletries and laundry products at the same store as your food?
🖐👍😊❤
I keep my fridge really cold. 32* f.
And you don’t struggle with produce freezing?
@@ThisMainerMom no. The drawer has a sliding gauge on it. I just keep it in the middle. Sometimes the meat compartment will start to freeze a little. But not very often..
I set my fridge at 36 because my family opens it so much
🇨🇦😊
Tomatoes shouldn't be stored in the refrigerator:)
That's True.Tomatos tast different.
Just kidding…not kidding 🤣🤣🤣
😂
No way I'm touching a Jalapeno! Don't like anything spicy.
Karen i think ots a big mistake having all snacks and naughty things at eye level,tempting you to break your diet every time you go into the pantry 😖If they have to be there i would have them in lidded boxes up high or down low,or better still get the girls to keep them in their own rooms,you did so well ,dont let yourself get back into bad ways,it takes a minute to put weight on and forever to loose it,i know from experience🥵Argh…Lizzie
It’s so hard, isn’t it?!
@@ThisMainerMom it really is. I lost 51/2 stones back in my thirties and probably many many more over the years at various times in my life . I think when times and health werent good . 69 this year and was hit with quite a few nasty health challenges last year diagnosed with diabetis 2 lastly, was a real punch in gut for me that🥲.so im stuck in trying mt best to reverse that by loosing as much as quickly as i can . Its HARD . I will get there im determined xxxx
Cream cheese does not freeze well-it gets a crumbly consistency-yuck!
When I freeze cheese, I leave it out to defrost for a long time. Until it gets sweaty. Then, it does not crumble anymore. 😊
