    A round of applause for Lisa, who doesn’t NEED to put herself out there, teaching cooking/shopping life skills, or share her story… but does it anyway. Also… I’m a little sorry for giggling about the soda-splosion… been there 😱😝

    When I freeze any fat I have, I use a cookie scoop and freeze them. I then put the fat balls into a freezer bag so I can pull out one or two when I need them.

    I like that you show how to live practically within a budget, to use what you have on hand, and that you can eat delicious food without going broke. It’s very timely given current grocery prices. I also like that you’re teaching people without being preachy. Good vibes all around. Love the channel!

    There are so many people trying to do what you do but it comes off as preachy or condescending, that they're using the money-saving genre to gain clout rather than just help others who need guidance on how to make their dollar stretch. It makes me really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. You are approachable, authentic and so warm in the way you help people by being transparent about how your family really lives & cooks/eats. I always enjoy your videos & think you're a darling. Keep up the amazing work! :)

    Left an entire case of soda in my parents trunk before a snow storm. I was around 14-15 & thought hey it'll definitely stay cold. Too cold. As the temps dipped the soda froze, expanded & exploded all over the trunk. Yeah, my parents made me clean that sticky mess once some of the snow melted. Took me a couple of hours & lots of towels 😂. Live & learn.

    So glad to see that you don't throw away things that are very slightly freezer burnt I have seen people you know toss the whole package the flavor like you did maybe can be covered up or you can trim it a little there's a whole lot to do before you toss the whole package. Thank you very much for showing that

    • @darlenebradley6756
      @darlenebradley6756 Год назад

  • @MELISSA-zj8rb
    @MELISSA-zj8rb 2 года назад +3

    suggestion for you . get some empty bottles from water or soda rinse them out and put tap water in them. freeze them in both your freezers so if you loose power your food dosent spoil. they work way better and last longer than regular ice packs. i use them in my lunch bag for work and they last all day and are still half frozen when i get home from work. ive been with out power for about 9 hours before and none of my food spoiled because i had the frozen water in the freezer.i also freeze my gallon milk jugs with tap water after i clean them out they work great in larger coolers or when i go buy my groceries and for going to the park or any where really. so many people have food spoil when power goes out having frozen water in the freezer helps alot. you can also use them to put in coolers with your fridge food so it dont spoil. love your videos dont stop making them.

FYI, you can adjust the temp of your hot water on the heater. If there is no dial, there will be a screw to turn to make it hotter or cooler.

Not one in a kitchen filled with thousands of dollars worth of equipment, that looks like it cost MORE than my whole house! (Mis-matched cabinet hardware and all! My cabinets don't even match -- half are original, half hand-me-ups from my mom's kitchen remodel, totally different colors and style.) No pretensions, just a regular person!

    You constantly AMAZE me Lisa. You are very organized and think ahead for future meals. So creative. I try to be like you, saving what i could to add to other meals, basically stretching. Like you I love my food VERY hot and spicy, everything! I think you grow some herbs? Thyme is easy to grow and overwinters here in NC good with white meats but i use it in almost everything. I have not had lamb in over 20 yrs and broke down few months ago and bought it at Aldi at $7.99lb. That will be a special meal for sure.I remember when i bought a whole leg of lamb for like 2.99 and 3.99lb YUM with mint jelly!

    I keep a hand written list of the items in my deep freez next to it. I did a reorganization of it last summer. When I use something I mark it off the list. Then I know if I need or want to replace it. I just stuck a nail in the wall and stuck a piece of notebook paper to it. Nothing fancy.

    You should think about using freezer paper along with your freeze bags. For me it is keeping freezer burn away and they can be flattened and put at least four pound of chicken and ground beef on one bag. Even when I am lazy after shopping I have still used the paper, just pull the plastic off and wrap tape label.

      It's a gas heater and it's at least a couple settings from the highest. It's been great for dishes and cleaning, I'm just so used to turning the faucet onto the hottest setting to wash my hands because the old heater didn't get the water as hot. I think I'm also more sensitive to hot water than the average person because my mom has no complaints about the water temp lol
