    Definitely more pantry and freezer clean outs. It’s inspiring me to do the same. For those pancakes, I would have mixed the two bowls of batter together to make the not so great one taste better.

      I don't think she could do it! Those stores call to her, the clearance tags speak to her, the thrill of getting something for less is an endorphin rush!!! Plus, October has 31 whole days! No way could she do it!

    For your frozen bananas: peel and break them into a bag BEFORE freezing. They are great in smoothies. And, you can still make banana bread if you want. Less messy too.

  • @terryhenderson424
    @terryhenderson424 Год назад +16

    Definitely begin with the perishables in the fridge. When the pantry is a "mess" (overly filled or not) I often put an emphasis on opened and partial packages or containers with the goal being to reduce the number of containers. In the freezer, sometimes I start with the item(s) that fall out and hit one in the head as the door is opened; newest or oldest, getting hit on the head takes priority. Then I start looking for the ugliest items, the things whose wrapping looks worst and take at least one out of the freezer to thaw. This generally puts a freezer item in the fridge which looks back to clearing the fridge of perishables. Depending upon the freezer stype or where the old items may be lurking, sometimes I work my way to the bottom vertically or to the back on one shelf until I reach a freezer wall; then I do a mini-rearrangement on the hunt for the oldest and ugliest packages or containers.

  • @ElizabethAMS2015
    @ElizabethAMS2015 Год назад +9

    I would LOVE to see you spend less than $20 for the whole month of October, only buying ingredients you need to go with meals you've planned from your pantry. Keep clearing it out! I think it would be most satisfying.

  • @lindseybsmith
    @lindseybsmith Год назад +40

    Yes to beans in the chili! I love just adding whatever I need to use up into it! Peel the NANNERS before you freeze 'em! 🍌🍌🍌

  • @kimt8162
    @kimt8162 Год назад +15

    Your walking through the grocery store and you get this on sale or you notice that and you buy something. Then all of sudden 2 months go by and you haven't touched whatever. Our freezer in the garage is SOOOOOO helpful with keeping tabs on this stuff. I couldn't cook without it. Every New YEar's Eve; this is what I do. I go through the fridge, freezer, cabinets and anything that's dated a bit----comes out or to the front. That's how I spend my New Year's.

  • @bridgetmarden7224

    Make 3,2,1 banana bread..... 3 mashed bananas, 2 eggs, and 1 box of any flavor cake mix. Mix all, bake in greased loaf pans at 350 til toothpick comes out clean. Easiest and best banana bread ever. I also add nuts and/or chocolate chips. For the corn bread I add drain corn, jalapeños, and cheese

  • @CP-gr5eg
    @CP-gr5eg Год назад +5

    I love it how you're on a constant mission to clean out your pantry and freezer because you are also on a constant mission to stock up on low cost grocery deals! Lol, the cycle never ends. I'm working on it... today I stocked up on pork for $1.50 a lb and a 10lb bag of chicken for $7.90. I keep getting discouraged about grocery prices going up but if you just focus on the good sales you find and then do your own personal edition of "Chopped" every night it's not so bad.;-) And beans stretch chili in a very awesome cheap way while also tasting delicious so in my book chili always has beans!

    • @ydoowj

    We do no beans in chili. I realize my choice is controversial but I make it how we like it. I do every month like it is a pantry clean out and we do pasta once a week and we still have a ton!

    Pantry Clean out idea: buy nothing and make due but toward the end assess what you ran out of that you need to stock more of and what you never ran out of and need to buy way less of. For me, I find I need to buy a lot more shelf stable high vitamin fruit and veg options example roasted peppers, pineapple and way less canned tomatoes and pasta anything. My family actually hates pasta - why do I have any? Frozen Banana idea: Banana/ chocolate/peanut butter shake = 2 frozen bananas 2 tablespoons peanut butter 2 table spoons dried milk 2 tablespoons cocoa powder- grew up eating that for breakfast and I crave. You could add some kind of sweetener but I think it’s perfect with the over ripe banana sugar.

    @pancakespandemonium Год назад +3

    So, here’s a conclusion I’ve come to about September. September is not a great month for a little to spend month and pantry clean out. Especially here in Utah but I even noticed it in Texas. In Utah It’s full of big sales including case lot sales bigs it’s declared “Emergency Preparedness” month. The last 3 years I’ve failed epically try to do a low spend month in September ( March is a particularly bad month too!) so I’m going to focus my efforts in October for sure from now on. The first couple of weeks in November too to make room for Holiday food! But seriously, you’re doing great and obviously using what you’ve bought!

    Pantry clean out month is actually our favorite because it makes us get creative and we almost always end up with a couple new recipes to carry on the rest of the year.

    One of my favorite ways to use up salsa is a Mexican casserole. Use precooked shredded chicken, 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and a jar of salsa. Mix that all together. Sometimes I add a little water if it seems too thick. Crush up some tortilla chips and then pour into a greased 9x13 pan. Top with the chicken mixture and then top with shredded cheese. Bake at 350 until hot and bubbly. Got to watch it so the chips won't burn. For whatever reason some brands do. Serve with sourcream ! It's delicious and a family favorite.

    I love the pantry clean-out videos. I like to see you using up some of the groceries you're stockpiling - otherwise what's the point of having them? Although I enjoy the stockpile tour videos too. Watching you make the chili was great, how you were able to throw so many random things into a pot and come up with an inexpensive and delicious meal. Way to go FFM! :)

    Definitely beans in chilli!!
    I could really do with a pantry clean out, I'll probably do a lot of slow cooker type meals, to make things easy.

    I use grated carrots to sweeten and cut the acidity of tomato based dishes 🙂 and I always add beans to chili (to make it stretch further, more budget friendly).

    I need to do a freezer clean out, for sure. So keep them coming for inspiration!
