- Welcome to my Food Pantry Haul & Meals video! 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. Also, it's 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.
Food Bank Hauls & Food Pantry Hauls Are Such A Blessing!
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 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 Sometimes the food is very out of date and not suitable.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!
THE FRUGAL LIVING LIFESTYLE!
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 so you can 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. I dress well. I have my basic needs met and I work to try to improve my life. Start where you are and work with what you've got!
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.

I love seeing what you get.
@justnina8023 Thank you so much! Food Pantry day is a fun day. I never know what will be in stock, it makes it exciting to find out!
I enjoy your content so much - your positive attitude, gratefulness and simple meals are such an inspiration. Keep it up 💕
@MamaMealPrep Thank you, it's nice to hear that you are enjoying my channel! I love to cook and put together plates of food especially with food pantry ingredients. It's always a surprise what the food pantry will have in stock on any given day. I am just so happy to get vegetables there! Salads and fruit brighten up my meals especially being in the hottest month of the year! Not too long before Fall arrives. Thank you for watching my videos!
Love the creative meals you make. I call it "fridge day" usually ends up as soup in the winter and salad in summer. 😊
Thank you so much! I like your way of calling it fridge day, that’s cute! I enjoy preparing pretty plates of food.
Another great video filled with good food and gratitude. ❤
Thank you for watching my video!
Wonderful haul and meals made with the haul! ❤🎉
@jennifermunn6898 Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I like making food pantry meals to help others see what can be done with the food.
Wow! That's a nice haul :)
@katiesinthekitchen Thank you! I enjoy shopping at the food pantry.
Your garden is sprouting!!
@twartist1411 I love my little potted plants. I got most of the containers from Family Dollar. I hope the Peppermint takes off! I been doing some on the ground yardwork and the potted plants are doing much better than battling the weeds in the ground.
Beautiful steak and fries dinner!!
@twartist1411 Thank you! I had a big appetite that day, I almost ate the entire steak! I was glad to have a few leftover pieces.
The salads look amazing
@thelmacampbell2623 Thank you so much! Every time I make a salad I feel like I'm doing something good for my health! Those Bright Farm salads are yummy. Adding fruit, nuts and seeds makes it taste fancy!
love your care free living videos! what a blessing to have to shuffle things around in a full fridge!
@michelemorgan3499 Thank you so much! I love seeing my little mini-fridge full of food. It is a blessing! And kind of fun to make it all fit.
I love that you calculated the carbs on the breads! For the rosemary bread, since the slices are not all even, I use the serving size in grams and weigh each slice. (my son is Type 1 Diabetic) It's more tedious, but he loves his bread.
@katiesinthekitchen I like your idea to weigh the bread slices! Carbohydrate rich foods are so easy for me to over-indulge in. Seeing how many carbs are in it helps me monitor my intake. Things can become as you say "more tedious" but I think it's worth the effort!
The leaves of the celery is really tasty! I love to use them in salads :)
Great idea! Love using food in creative ways.
Your meals looked very tasty
@rosemariemichel7050 Thank you! I like putting the meals together and showing what can be made from the food pantry blessing!
Yay Sarah! You hit 1,000 subscribers! How exciting and congratulations! 🥳
@judygriffing1276 Thank you, Judy! This is an exciting time! I could not reach this wonderful landmark without you and our other Subscribers to make it happen!
Great idea! I have to try those!
@@kathlynsteinman3599 Thank you so much for watching my video!
I try to eat up left over ! Even make them into something else ! Apple pie hummus yes please! I had pumpkin hummus! That apple pie hummus should be amazing on fresh hot toast ! Enjoy ! ~ Tink
@tinaengle8989 Hi Tink! Oh pumpkin hummus sounds good! The apple pie hummus is a yummy treat, I hope I can get more of it in future hauls! I try to plan out ideas of what to eat to help avoid wasting food, and leftovers is a great way to do that. I like your idea of apple pie hummus on toast! I'll have to give that a try.
You have so much beautiful produce at your pantry!
@courtneyk2733 The food pantry is a real blessing and to have so much to choose from! I am glad to qualify because it helps out so much!
Love that jar
@GrumpyGrandma2423 The blue Ball jar is my first one that is not clear! I love it, too, it's pretty! It is the largest vintage jar I have.
Hi Sarah! 👋🏻 Another enjoyable video and what a great pantry haul. I look forward to your creative meals-they always look good! Take care. 👋🏻 Judy
@judygriffing1276 Hi Judy! Thank you so much. I enjoy putting together my meals and sharing them! Have a wonderful day.
I just found your channel a few hours ago and I am now binge watching your videos. I was your 1000th subscriber! That was pretty cool.
@angieburns6241 Welcome to the channel! Thank you for watching my videos. I hope you enjoy them. Oh that's neat to be the thousandth subscriber! Thank you for subscribing!
I love to make breakfast sandwiches with crossaints. Fried egg, cheese, and some kind of green leafy, with a lemon sauce.
@hoosierpioneer That sounds delicous! I love fried eggs. Croissants always feel "fancy" to me! I'm glad I have mini-croissants because it automatically helps me with portions.
what a great haul. those salads are gold! you are great at putting your food together so it is healthy and appealing. plus what a good job on filling that mini fridge. our temp was mid 90's today and believe me, it felt nice. i think yesterday was 106 - not so nice. take care of you, enjoy time outside and smell the flowers. sweet dreams.
@karenjones1897 Thank you! I'm so glad to get a lot of salads. The crisp texture of fruits and vegetables make summer more enjoyable. I'm glad you got a break from that unbearable heat, thank God! Stay cool and hydrated!
Love the haul. I have been using pantries for the last 9 months. I am blessed to live in an area with lots of food pantries.
Why do u have blankets on ur shelves? I might start doing that to make my life easier when cleaning.
@lilarose5512 Thank you for watching my video! I use towels on my refrigerator shelves because the frost builds up then melts down, the towels will absorb the water. My mini fridge does not have "auto" defrost. I'll get a frost-free fridge one day! I'm glad you have access to food pantries, the cost of living has gotten extremely high. It's like the prices just keep going up and up.
If you have ice cube trays you can squeeze the lemon and lime in each and then either put as an ice cube in a cup of water or cook with them.
@janebutler808 That's a great idea, thank you! I would like to freeze the lemon and lime juice. Freezer space is a challenge for me, but if I find very small ice cube trays I may be able to give it a try!
Oh wow, I have never seen dessert hummus before. Your Tetris skills are on point. 🎊 💯 As always your meals look amazing. And that steak wow!
@DisabledandPrepping The dessert hummus was new to me, too! I like it. Packing the mini-fridge is a challenge and very much like Tetris. Well worth the effort! Thank you, the steak was super tastey. I ate way more of it than I thought I would!
I find it helpful that you put the date and list
Carbohydrates on the package. Please show us how you do it and how many carbs we should have.
Thank you for letting me know! I will be happy to discuss my carb experience. Have a great day!
The kiwi I got were good
@kathymccoy5935 I'm glad to hear that! You got me wanting kiwi. Might have to make a Food Lion trip!
We got fresh kiwi today at the food pantry it really helps to go there especially torqard the end of the month
@kathymccoy5935 Kiwi is yummy! I believe it's high in Vitamin C. When I go towards the end of the week, sometimes they will allow me to get extra vegetables or fruit. It seems other folks pass up the fruits and veggies, but that is my favorite area to shop in!

Hope ur doing well today
@kathymccoy5935 I am on the countdown to Fall! It's been hot and humid. I hope you are having a wonderful evening, too!
Check dates on your food and cans
@donnamoore6520 Yes the best by dates are important to be aware of! Thank you for watching my Food Pantry video!
I have a question for you, I know you feel blessed by your food pantry, If they packed your bag and you don't know what you are getting, you open it up and find, instant coffe, laundry, stain remover and fabric softner, would you be picky and complain? or would you feel blessed?
@GrumpyGrandma2423 I would be happy to get what I got. I would be especially thrilled with the instant coffee because that seems to last for such a long time! I enjoy laundry supplies because I can put those up for later. If the laundry supplies are scented with too powerful a scent for me, then I'd either donate it back to the food pantry or give to someone in need that I know!
New to your channel do you go to the grocery store too? Or just the food pantry weekly ?
I'm so glad you're here! Yes, I make small fill-in trips to the grocery store for things like coffee and creamer. I shop at the food pantry weekly. I do stock up on grocery store items if it's a good sale or something I really want! I hope you enjoy my Channel.
