I'm working on having another vlog video up this coming Friday Oct 6 at 7:00pm Eastern Please be sure to turn on the notification so you don't miss it. See you then!!!
@@kathymccoy5935 Although I don't have much shampoo and conditioner stored, I'll try to show more ways I store things. If you don't mind me asking, what type of space are you working with (like is it a cabinet, a shelf or underbed storage)?
@hoosierpioneer Wow that's amazing, 2 weeks! We have great subscribers with great ideas! I believe it was Tink that recommended the paper towel trick to keep lettuce greens fresher longer!
When you flipped the calendar it reminded me of my time in Cape May NJ. I was on a spiritual retreat during the monarch butterfly migration. There were hundreds of monarch butterflies on the beach. I started a conversation with a person that was tagging and releasing the butterflies. She let me release on off my hand as they continued their migration. It was once in a lifetime experience.
@maryannrogers8675 That sounds like an amazing experience. I've never seen in person what you described. You paint a beautiful picture. Nature is incredible, so much beauty. Thank you for sharing your butterfly experience!
@GrumpyGrandma2423 Hi Lois! I like the sofa, too, thank you! It's nice to have a place I can stretch out on. It has room underneath making it perfect for "underbed storage". I thought about getting a traditional sofa but then where would I put my stuff! I love the color combination, I think it's looking good for Fall.
@robyncolless6016 Yes, I think you're right, gotta get me potting soil. My plants need some TLC! I'm very happy with the food pantry haul, it's a big blessing!
@rhondarogers1946 Thank you so much! I'm happy you are enjoying my channel! I am trying to show more of what I cook and how I make the food pantry meals work for me! Thank you for watching!
@kathymccoy5935 I think I need more coffee because I just typed a reply and it disappeared! Oh my! I love the color combination on the sofa, it feels very Fall. And the corner shelf is going to help me make the porch pretty!
@pitbullwinkle I've added Hot Cocoa to the future list of videos to make! Thank you for watching tonight's video! I am happy that you look forward to my videos, that's wonderful.
@lynellleviner6748 Thank you! This was a very nice haul with lots of goodies to make interesting meals with. I like to get creative and love to have a salad as often as possible for my health goals!
@DisabledandPrepping Awww that made me smile! It's always fun to figure out how to make food pantry hauls fit in the mini fridge! I never thought I'd be living with a mini fridge but here I am, and it's working out!
So good to see you!!!! Your personality is so very precious. Always positive and loving. Can I ask what made you decide to start a RU-vid channel? As always thank you so much for sharing. Much love from Ohio 💛💛💛💛💛
@lindabell2134 Thank you so much for your kind words! RU-vid was not my idea. It took a long time for me to take the plunge and consider making a video. I received a mountain of encouragement from my better half. And here I am today!
@lindajenkins3929 Yes they sure do! I hope they have more apples next time I go to the food pantry. I want to make some baked apples in the crockpot! Thank you for watching!
This is such an amazing blessing!! I have a decent pantry that don’t get me wrong I’m super grateful for. However, I WISH we got even some of the things you do. We don’t get much produce. Or different “ready to eat foods”.
@MysticalTerry-fr2eu Food pantries are a blessing, absolutely! My food pantry has a lot of unusual items. I think they work with some "high end" grocery stores, I'm happy for it but I do know not every pantry has these kinds of items. I definitely eat better because of the food pantry!
Hi Sarah! 👋🏻 Here for my fix! 😁 You had a good week at the food pantry and I really like your dumpster find! Yes, please show us how you make your hot chocolate. I’m going to Goodwill tomorrow-wish me luck! Have a great week. 👋🏻 Judy
@judygriffing1276 Oh I hope you get some great stuff at the Goodwill! The dumpster find is really nice, I just need to get a few zip ties to secure it and it will be good to go! I was very happy to get everything from the food pantry, it's a huge blessing to get so many nice items, especially fruits and veggies. I will add hot chocolate to the list and get that video out when I can! Have a great week, Judy!
@ShoestringJane Welcome to the channel! I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I began the channel last year and have over a 100 videos to choose from! New videos are released twice a week at 7pm Eastern on Tuesday and Friday. Thank you for watching!
hi, sara! what a great haul from the pantry. also clever how you work your pillows for the "sofa". you make the most of what you have - truly a wise and thrifty trait. also i enjoy your switching things up for the seasons. please share the coco recipe. i will tell you that i had covid in the beginning. not sick enough to be hospitalized but lost my sense of smell and taste. i can sense sour, sweet, salty and bitter but no real taste of foods. chocolate is something i get a bit of taste with - like dark chocolate, i get the bitterness (coffee too). ah well, life goes on and i remember how things tasted. don't mean to be a downer. enjoy your week. i see the eye specialist thursday to see what he thinks about surgery. big hugs. sweet dreams.
@karenjones1897 Hi Karen! If you've heard of Dr. Daniel Amen, one of his videos stated the eyes are an extension of the brain. I wrote down one of his recommendations: eating room temperature olive oil on top of your dark leafy greens helps with vision. It might be worth looking into! I've added the Coco Recipe to our list of videos to make (hopefully it will agree with your tastebuds)! I love my sofa, it took awhile to figure out how to make a "back cushion" for it, but I finally got it! The food pantry haul is truly a blessing especially with Winter electric bills approaching. Have a wonderful week, Karen!
@Shortievaughn Awww thank you! Yes, the plant stand was a fun find! I'm glad to get it and am going to try to buy some zip ties to secure it together better. See you Friday!
@trishacarlson4122 I keep trying to reply but it wouldn't go thru! Gotta love technology, ha! I enjoy simple things like making a coffee. It helps me appreciate the moment. Life can be busy. It's good to slow down!
Hi Sarah.🌺 It was a good week at the food bank.🍅 Can you tell us how it works at food-bank, we don't have it in the same way here in Sweden. Can anyone go there? Do you have to apply? Maybe you can make a video about how it works at the food bank. The shelf was nice, you might be able to put flowers on it.🏵 The salad looked yummy. 🥬🍅🥒Take care and have a nice week, Birgitta.🍁🌻🍂
@birgittacarlson7537 Hi Birgitta! The food pantry is a big blessing to access. Especially the salad vegetables are helping me achieve my health goals. Yes, to use the food pantry, I have to apply. After one year, I have to re-apply. The food pantry determines the financial guidelines. Once qualified, it is okay to shop there once a week. The larger the family, the more food you can get. What I bring home is for one person. By the end of the week, perishable items are given to staff and volunteers to take home. If not, then the farmers get the items to feed their animals. I love the plant shelf! I'm super happy about that dumpster find! Have a lovely day in Sweden!
Thank you Sarah for your lovely video. Your salad combinations always look so yummy. Great find with the plant stand. I use mine in the bathroom and stack the towels on it. Looking forward to your next video🐨🦜
@barbarawesterman6807 Thank you for watching! I enjoy making the salads. I feel better when I eat more vegetables, and the food pantry salads are a blessing as the cost of vegetables can add up if bought at the grocery store. The plant stand is a neat find! I like your idea to put towels on it, if my bathroom was larger, I could try that, but it's on the smaller side!
Good to see another video and thank you for sharing the idea about labeling the salad. I think its a important one. Im always amazed how much food you can fit in uour mini fridge. Talking about making stews has been on my mind too, in a few days we have 50s and 60 degrees coming in. See you on Friday!
@kannab100 I've had the mini-fridge a few years now and it was a real challenge to get used to. But where there is a will, there's a way! Yes, I love your idea to add the salad cover to the ziploc bag, I hope others also find it helpful! Crockpot season has arrived. I'm looking forward to cooler weather, it should be in 60's on Sunday, nice day for a stew! See you Friday!
@christophervogt7456 Thank you, Chris! I think not having a sweet tooth is a good thing. I used to bring home the larger "family size" desserts and had to make a change! The mousse cake had too much sugar so I ended up removing the frosting and eating the "cake" part! Have a wonderful week!
Stuffed olives yummy! I use what I have for decor ! Fruit looked good .I love honeydew.I made pickled beet eggs for the week.Enjoy your week Girl !~ Tink
@tinaengle8989 Hi Tink! The olives are zesty and yummy. The honeydew was very good. Pickled beet eggs sound good! I want to get some pumpkins for Fall decorating. I hope you have a wonderful week, too!
Also I was wondering, does your dump just have days you can pick stuff out of it? Or how does that work? Just curious bc I was going to see if mine did something similar! ❤️
@MysticalTerry-fr2eu At the dump, folks set aside the nicer items, for others to get. Some will just throw it in the dumpster and it's perfectly good stuff. It depends on the family hauling away the unwanted items, if they think someone might want it then they set it aside. I got some nice stuff there like my coat rack! Whatever I find, I look it over really well and clean it up best I can. I do have a few items in my car for "quarantine" (I'm waiting for temperatures to drop below 32 to bring it inside).
@laurac5451 It can be discouraging to get items that are "turning"! Sometimes fresh food looks fine but then I find mold (like on the bread). My food pantry has an abundance of bread and I get a little but not a lot. I will freeze a loaf then eat off it for sometime. The breads that have fruits and seeds are my favorite, it tastes like a "light dessert".
