  • 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 Sometimes the food is very out of date and not suitable.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.
    WHAT IS IN A FOOD PANTRY BOX?
    All types of food!
    HOW TO QUALIFY FOR FOOD BANK?
    They go by how much money you make in most cases.
    FOOD PANTRY MEALS ARE SUCH A BLESSING!

    My Hot Chocolate Recipe:
    Add 1 teaspoon coco powder to hot boiled water, 1/4 tsp. turmeric, dash of black pepper (or cayenne), add cinnamon, few drops of Stevia (not too much or it will taste bitter), creamer of choice (I use 1/2-n-1/2 or cream), dash of nutmeg.

    That fencing you got is great to make a garden or flowerbed outside. you could make an area all around your trailer by the shirting with small shrubs, flowers ferns, and things and then you won't have to worry about the weekwacker hitting the skirting. I need to do that here at my house since the vinyl siding is always getting hit as it comes to the ground.

    • @CareFreeLivingChannel
      @CareFreeLivingChannel  5 месяцев назад

      That's a good suggestion, thank you! I do think Ferns would grow well because the ground is so moist. If I can find some locally, I'll dig 'em up! It would be nice to finish the skirting project, but that will come in it's own good time, gotta get the ground as dry as possible to move forward.

    Hi, I put baking soda in an empty shaker and use that for deodorant. We seldom eat red meat and never eat salad. Cabbage is cheaper, and it is more versatile.

    Thanks for another great video. Your food videos have inspired me to do better rather than slopping it together on a paper plate. I’ve been using a blue plate I got from the Dollar Tree that reminds me of my grandmother’s blue willow plate. I can’t wait to try slicing my toast into the finger shapes. It makes it look like you have more. When I saw that flower fence, I was hoping you would pick it up. It will be perfect when you have a flower or vegetable garden.

I think about how things might have been in the days of my great grandparents and how most people had very little. But they made the most out of all they had. It helps motivate me to do the best I can with what I got! I'm glad I got the flower fence, too and hope to put it to good use as the garden develops. We shall see how that goes this year! Have a wonderful night.

    Good find at the dump! I can’t wait to see the pretty flower beds you create with the fencing. Sometime my Mama will ask me to ride with her when she needs to haul off her garbage. The dump near her strictly prohibits taking items. It’s a shame too because so many things still have good use or could be recycled. I never thought to add collagen powder to oatmeal. I usually just add it to my coffee. Thanks for the idea!

    You can cut leftover bread into cubes or strips, mix with a little oil (broth is optional) and spices (salt included), put it in an oven and make your own croutons. If you need bread crumbs, a blended or even mortar can turn it into crumbs in no time.
    I don't know about bread and birds. Growing up, we would go to feed geese and swans during the winter. Seagulls love bread and would fight for it. In my humble opinion, it depends on birds and the bread. Lots of it these days is dangerous for anyone based on ingredients.

      @CareFreeLivingChannel  5 месяцев назад

      That's a good point about the ingredients of bread. When I eat bread that has an extended shelf life, I feel bloated. But if I eat breads that are more traditional, I don't get the bloat. I grew up feeding geese, too! Thank you for your suggestion on making croutons.

      @@CareFreeLivingChannel I get sick just waking into the bread aisle. The smell there triggers my migraine. Eating it is a different story, so let's just say that I either bake my own, or buy something that doesn't look like a Medieval poison. Lots of kids now have problems with gluten. I believe that comes from the treated wheat and from everything else that is in bread. Wheat is expensive to grow, so it's easier to make the population refuse to eat it. Up until the last century, the poor lived and died and never even tried white bread. It was the rich people's food. I have feelings that we are turning the time back.

      I saw a documentary years ago about modern day wheat and how it has been altered for mass production. I've noticed that a lot of people have migraines now, and I do believe there may be a connection to the wheat. When I was growing up, I don't recall migraines being "normal". I tend to avoid the shelf-stable bread at the grocery store, the kind that lasts for weeks. It has a strange texture to me. It reminds me of fast food that does not decay and break down!

It's everything else that is in dairy and wheat products.

I see how I feel and if a specific products makes me feel bad, I try to avoid it in the future.
