- Опубликовано: 21 янв 2025
- 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. Nothing wrong with living the frugal living lifestyle! 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 Sometimes the food is very out of date and not suitable.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 - Foodie Food Haul - Budget Meals
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 Budget Meals!
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!

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 help.
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.

I love your food pantry shopping day. While you're looking at healthy food options your cameraman is spotlighting cakes, cookies and other desserts. Gives me a giggle. Thanks for your videos.
It's always fun to look at the beautiful desserts! Especially in the Fall the cakes get very pretty. Thank you for watching!
It's good, though, they have them. Kids do have birthdays and families have special gatherings!
I wish we had a pantry like that. Good haul!
Thank you! It's a unique food pantry and huge blessing. Thank you for watching my videos!
All the fresh good they have! I call it freshies!
@@momkatmax Freshies that's cute!
I love the way you show how you put together stuff from the food pantry. So many people are afraid of kind if going out on a limb and experimenting. You are giving ideas and methods, not so much hard recipes. That is helpful for inexperienced cooks!
Thank you very much! Living without a stove for the past few years has helped me get more creative. I can still do a whole lot using what I've got! I love to put together pretty plates of food and make it look nice. Thank you for watching my videos!
Okay ❤I love your food plates ❤😂🎉😢😮they look delicious ❤😂🎉
Thank you so much! I enjoy putting together a pretty plate!
Any food with guacamole is my favorite. Your mum looks happy now😊
I love guacamole, too, so tasty! Yes, the Mums are doing much better now. I hope they grow!
I always enjoy your videos
Thank you very much for watching my Food Pantry Haul! I had a lot of fun making this episode and glad you enjoyed it!
I worked at Whole Foods. The 365 canned goods are amazing, also, the prepared foods and produce. When I worked there , we would remove from the shelves(prepared foods and produce) a week before the best by date for the food pantry. Very fresh, great quality foods. ❤
Good info! Whole Foods products are really good. Probably the best! I'm glad the food pantry coordinates with all of these stores, it's a real treat for the shopper.
Great..another Raos product. Yum.❤
It's a nice product! So glad to get it!
I would love to see what meals you come up with that wonderful score. ❤️
Thank you for watching! I enjoy putting meals together, always fun to do!
Another good video! The only thing I find “wrong “is that I get hungry seeing your beautiful plates made up😊
Thank you! The meals are tasty! I love to put them together.
I like the salad kit you made with chicken looks so yummy 😋 and you sang the pepper song.😉😘🥗🥗
@p.mckenzie2921 I love that meal, too! It felt like a restaurant meal to me. Gotta sing the Pepper Song!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel yes my grand baby loves to here you sing the pepper song.bless you for doing it.😇🥰
@p.mckenzie2921 Awww that's so cute! God Bless You and your family!
Great food pantry haul. You make everything looks so delicious.
Thank you so much!
I wish we had a food pantry like that. We have a store that's similar but you get really discounted prices. This haul looked really yummy. A very nice choice of foods this week ❤
Thank you very much for watching! The food pantry is a blessing to have access to. I eat better shopping there. Have a great day!
@CareFreeLivingChannel I love the variety of healthy choices you get. Keep doing what you do. I love your videos 🥰
Awww thank you! I enjoy making videos. They are very time intensive but bring lots of joy!
Also, LOVE the purple cardian!! I could wear a cardigan every day.
I love the color! Got it from the thrift store. I enjoy buying thrifted clothing!
With those cherry tomatoes, if you ever get ones that are bad like the ones you got now, you could always save the seeds and grow some tomatoes from them. Yes that's a pretzel bun so they are actually one of my favorites.
Good idea to save the seeds! The bun was good and definitely tasted like a pretzel!
❤😂😢😮😅😊 God bless you ❤sister 💕🙏
God Bless You, too! Thank you for watching my videos!
Your food looks so 👍 ❤. God bless all here❤ ✝️ ❤
God Bless You, too! Thank you very much for watching. I enjoyed putting together the meals!
I saw the first glance at the table at the garbage area. And I was like oh, look at that table and then you look at it and say look at that fancy table.
It was a beautiful table!
I’ve heard raos is the best jarred pasta sauce! I’ve never tried it, it’s 7$ where I live. Lmk how you liked it!
It's wonderful! I'm glad the food pantry had the RAO's but don't know why it was there, but so glad it was!
@@CareFreeLivingChannelI like Raos, since my family is diabetic since the jar has less sugar. If I can’t make my own sauce, and didn’t freeze tomatoes, I use Raos.
@angelinewhiteapplez It's a great product! I love the big jars. I can re-use them for storage!
Hi Sarah,
You received alot of nice things from your food pantry. Those teas look fancy!
How is Honey Bunny doing? How is she and her friends handling Mr. Turtle's paid vacation time off. 😊😊
Mr. Turtle and I have decided to revisit his vacation needs in 2025 so he can stick around for Christmas! Honey Bunny and Friends are well, just as sassy as they can be! I love to get teas at the food pantry, such a nice treat.
Good to see you sweet lady. I always love to watch your channel!! 🌻🇺🇸🛒😊
Thank you so much for watching tonight! I hope you enjoy my video!
Trim the dead from the chrysanthemums mums then as the new flowers die pinch those off you should get lot more flowers mums.
Also put it in the ground mums come back every year
Great ideas! Thank you so much. I haven't put plants in the ground because I don't own the land. But maybe I'll try that one day!
Pumpkin and Pepita bread i believe. Also, if you ever see the pumpkin muffins from starbucks with the cream cheese danish type filling at the food pantry get yourself one. They are a really good little treat.
I don't think I've had the pumpkin muffins from Starbucks before! Maybe they'll have it one day at the food pantry, we shall see!
Suggestion:😮 the bread 🥯 🥖 🍞 that you scooped out, put in ziplock freezer bag or cut up and bake/toast it (possibly season it) there you have croutons/crushed crumbs for toppings on your: salads 🥗/macaroni and cheese 🧀 🫕 /pizza/chili & cheese/stuffing (either or) dressing (Etc)!😊
PS: 😮 spaghetti/Lasagna , Etc (😊)
Thank you so much for your suggestion on saving the bread! And for watching my Channel!
I have never tried pizza with guacamole. But now I'm thinking I will try it in the future.😊
I liked it!
I love nutritional yeast. Try it on homemade butter popcorn. I highly recommend.
Oh that would be delicious! I saw an old-fashioned popcorn maker at the thrift store awhile back. Maybe they'll get some more!
Have you ever used applesauce or pinapple sauce as a salad dressing for a change? It's yummy
I think it's a good suggestion, Lois! I'll have to give it a try sometime.
Love your red and white check shirt and the denim looks so nice on you.
Awww thank you! I got both shirts at the thrift store. I'm loving the denim shirt as the weather gets cooler. It's like a little jacket! The red and white shirt started to come apart but I sewed it up - it's still good!
❤❤❤
Thank you for watching!
Gorgeous table ❤
It sure was pretty! Oh if I only had the room for that fabulous table!
@CareFreeLivingChannel I know what your saying
I would love to bring home the cool stuff I found, but I'm sorting through my belongings and making progress getting my trailer organized!
So relaxing to watch you, just what i needed tonight. Yummy food😊
I'm glad to hear it, thank you! The meals were so good, glad to share them in tonight's video!
Love your channel Mr Turtle and honey bunny and friends
Awww thank you! Mr. Turtle says Hello!
I love your food hauls.😊
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy my food pantry hauls. They're a lot of fun!
Great haul! I love cannolis 🤤
It's a great dessert, very fancy!
Hi Sarah, always good to see your videos. I'm a pizza lover. Have a wonderful week ❤🎉
The pizza was great! Love to re-heat it in the air fryer. Thank you for watching tonight!
Try adding some lemonzest or lime zest next time you do the ricotta and fruit. It's awesome.
Good idea, thank you!
Instead of throwing out the veggies and other scraps , give them to the bunnies and other critters. They will thank you for it ❤. Great haul !
Good idea, thank you!
You always choose the best foods and make restaurant worthy meals. I loved the chicken salad in bread bowls plate and the mixed berries with balsamic vinegar and ricotta cheese. The purple sweater is very cute on you. When the weather turns bad, if you bring in your little pumpkin, it may last a long time. We had one that lasted almost a year.
Wow a year! That's incredible. Mr. Turtle likes his turtle-sized pumpkin! I enjoy putting together meals and making pretty plates using what I get from the food pantry. I loved the berries with ricotta! Adding the balsamic vinegar was yummy. It felt super fancy to me!
I really enjoy watching your videos 😊
Thank you very much! I'm happy to hear it!
All the food looks so good. Canadian bacon yummy ❤️
I'm glad to get so many wonderful items! The Canadian bacon will be great for breakfast sandwiches!
@CareFreeLivingChannel it will be love it ❤️
I've noticed how beautiful the countryside in your into is. Where is that! So pretty! Your haul looks delicious! When is dinner served? I'll be right over! 😊
Awww thank you! I live in the beautiful South! I had lots of fun on this food pantry trip. I'm always glad to get salad kits and interesting items to stock the mini-fridge. Thank you for watching tonight!
I dig it honey. We all need a food pantry a bridge card a side hustle😂😂😂
Sad but true
Thank you for watching my video!
Great perishables Sarah from your local food pantry and salad kits.
Thank you! I'm happy to get all that I got. I love salad kits!
Great l job on the mums
Love the video
Thank you! I hope the mums make it and do well. We shall see!
❤
Thank you for watching tonight!
Yeah.... i had to go get a snack after seeing your video.. you had me craving! 😂
Awww! I love to make a meal!
Thanks for the video tonight.
I'm glad you had a chance to watch my video tonight!
Love the chicken salad ❤
The chicken salad sandwich was great! I liked that bread, it smelled like a pretzel!
@CareFreeLivingChannel I love hot. Pretzels
Me too! Hot pretzels are yummy!
Enjoying your videos. All your meals look so good. I hope you have a wonderful week. Stay safe and God bless.
Hi Sara! Thank you, I've had lots of fun putting together the meals. Have a great week too, Sara and God Bless You!
Mr turtle looks good with a bit of color around him
For sure! Mr. Turtle is a good little guard turtle!
Where did you get that amazing coffee Making pour over??
I do make pour over coffee using a "MyJo" coffee maker I got from Amazon! I also make instant coffee. Thank you for watching!
Hi Sarah! Sorry for not putting comment up yesterday, it was a super busy day! Your meals look amazing as always. I've never thought of putting balsamic vinegar on berries! What did it taste like?
Thank you for watching! The balsamic vinegar tastes very good on berries, it has a bitterness that is offset by the sweetness of the fruit. I hope you are getting settled into your new home and all is well. God Bless You!
I enjoyed your video. Blessings.
Thanks so much for watching tonight!
I am so glad I'm not the only one who makes sure their hands are washed after stuff and cleaning up their place. I don't move stuff around like you do, my Mom used to do that but love your hygenie
Thank you, Lois! When I come home, I wash my hands straight away even if I'm not going to be cooking. I think it helps me stay well. Especially in the Fall and Winter seasons!
Good evening Mr turtle ❤
Mr. Turtle says Hello! He's a good guard turtle!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel he is no bad guys allowed
When I saw your canadian bacon I had to laugh just bought the same thing from Walmart. Good find I paid $5
I'm looking forward to making breakfast sandwiches!
You look pretty in your outfits ❤
Awww thank you very much! I buy most of my clothes at the thrift store. I find great deals!
How do you know what you can choose at the foid pantry and how many items
Good question! My food pantry determines the quantity of items that shoppers are allowed and provides instructions on paper. Some items are the same each week, like toilet paper. Other items fluctuate like fruits and veggies!
Yum to the pizza ❤
The pizza was great! It heats up perfectly in the air fryer!
Twitter looks good with a bit of color around in my new he would
I'm not sure what you wrote, but thank you so much for watching my video!
pans would work good under your plants
Good idea, Lois!
It’s pumpkin and pepita.😊
Thank you!
It’s even worse when you pay a lot for tomatoes and find some moldy ones. Ha. Have a great week.
I know what you mean! I'm glad many of the tomatoes were still good. Have a wonderful week, too!
Oh not famiy dollar but a Dollar Tree, go get you some cleaner just as good if not better that the Meathod. $1.25 it's called AWSOME great cleaners
Thank you, Lois! I'll keep that in mind if I go into town and get to a Dollar Tree. It would be fun to make a trip and see what they got!
The shave cream is a nice brand
Hi Lois! It's a new-to-me brand, glad to get it! I'm happy the food pantry offers personal care products.
Hello friend ❤
Hello and good evening! Thank you for watching my video tonight!
Computer out. Luck I could access RUclips on my phone. Have a good week
Hi Karen! I'm glad you could make it! Thank you for watching tonight. Have a fantastic week, too, Karen!
Mr turtle needs a friend beside him
Mr. Turtle is in his bachelor phase! I think he's a player! But he will settle down one day.
Do you have to pay for any of the food
The food pantry items are free! To qualify for the pantry, I had to apply, and they base qualifications on income.
Why not slice the roll into 3rds and save the middle for breakfast.
Interesting idea!
Girl grab that tile and use it in your house
I was thinking about that tile! There was a dog at the dump, barking and I wanted to move on in case they got loose! The tile was a good find!
You forgot the 70's yes I'm old
We are the youngest we will be right at this moment! I hear the 1970's was full of disco dancing, I think that would have been a fun time! And of course the hot pretzels at the mall.
Sorry I can't help financially I can watch
No worries! Watching my Channel helps me greatly, thank you!
It should have said Turtle not what it did
No worries!
Who films you?
Great question! My Man helps me film!
Would love to see your whole face.
Maybe one day!
