I say can al lean ee😅 lol
I'm a truck driver and sometimes a company will load the wrong items on my truck or a company will reject a whole case or pallet of products because of one dent or broken jar, I love when they let me bring those reclaimable perfectly fine and safe items to the food bank instead of throwing them away. Once it was a pallet of juice boxes. I loved that lots of kids would get to drink free juice just because the shipper put the wrong kind on my truck.
That's awesome!! What a great idea to bring it to the food bank! And thank you for your service as a truck driver! It's rough out there!
Thank you so much. As someone who goes off & on to food banks it's really appreciated.
One near me does kiddie bags filled with snacks for them & juice would have been great for those.
I'm actually supposed to take my friend who is both vision impaired & elderly in the next couple of weeks. I'm younger but disabled. So we move at the same speed. He insures I actually get up & go.
Then I take him through the grocery area to pick things out & put the heavy stuff in my cart for them bus.
We actually met going to food banks y& then when covid hit I insured he had what he needed & someone he could safely visit with since I didn't go anywhere either & wore masks.
We're pretty much family at this point which is awesome since neither of us has any nearby.
It is hard on both of us but it helps so much & lasts us a long time.
Bless you, that is so kind and thoughtful of you!
Blessings from Illinois.
The problem isn't that working people are using the food bank. The problem is that working people need to use the food bank.
Truth!!
We are all stressing over changes. You just keep being a ma bear and caring for your family. The people trying to shame you are prob the type who dont want anybody to get any help from anywhere.
I am 66 and I go to food bank for the wife and I and so thankful for them it sure helps us My wife is on oxygen and she is limited on travels so it helps
Meaning to say we can’t go out to eat even if we had extra money to do so but it does help us
You are not taking from other people. The only shame is that hard working people are not able to make enough to get by. I’m glad you ar3 doing the best you can to feed your family
It really is so hard to get buy. We can barely afford to live...how are we going to afford to get a house and retire. Life is stressful man.
@@mamabairds You have to have a plan and work at it for it to happen
I love your channel. You just need to reset. Do cleaning and put some valentines stuff out.
Yes do beans.
Good advice! I'm baking some Valentines treats today for the kids!
I'm sorry you are feeling concerned and blue. I've been there. I pray you are lifted soon.
I'm optimistic and I have faith in our Country's future. I don't know... for the last few years I've been constantly nervous and scared and I have recently decided to change my attitude into faith and hopefulness because I don't want to live with a heavy heart....so I made a choice and slowly I mentally started feeling better and better. I may not be able to change what's happening in the world but I can attempt to change my world.
You seem to be a survivor Carolina and a delight to watch. You have helped me with preparedness and stocking up. I thank you.
I truly wish you and your family peace of mind. ❤
Thank you for the kind words!
How wonderful that you have a good food bank to access. Whe I worked in my local food bank two of the most requested items were coffee and toilet paper. We seem to never have enough to go around. And thank you for letting folks know that a food bank can help you over the rough tmes.
Excellent haul!!!! I’m so glad they are there to help the community!!!! Just because you and hubby work doesn’t mean you bring home enough money to support everything a family needs!!!!! ❤
Maybe look into getting different jobs
We’re stressed and stretched to the max and it’s hard. I appreciate your videos and the message you’re sending. We all need to step back and focus on our families sometimes. ❤
lovely haul...we went yesterday morning. before 7 a.m. it was like 14 degrees and dark. Got there and pulled a number. ran to our truck for warmth. ours is every Tuesday and Thursday. on Friday they just toss u an already made up box. If u go on Tuesday and Thursday.u get to shop with a cart. i got alot of good food. They had a table filled with brand new board games and glo worms. U could have one of each of all the games per person. I just got candyland and a glo worm. got to dig thru alot of shopping carts filled with clothes,rugs and shoes,purses and everything. Those are free things . so fun. love Your videos always.
@@DeniseODaniels thank you so much for sharing!
That's awesome that you guys get extras like shoes and purses and rugs. We get toiletries and cleaning supplies always appreciated
So good to listen to you and see you again. You comfort, inspire and educate so many with your videos. Please know that you are our sunshine in these dark, winter days of discontent.
That’s so kind of you to say! Thank you!
A lot of people work and still need help from the pantry
You have some great Foodbank hauls 😊 Foodbank are essential for families. I truly appreciate my Foodbanks that are around me 😊
So true!
Hi Carolina! I’ve been a silent watcher for years and just minutes before you posted this video I searched your channel and was watching some videos! Please don’t stop doing what you’re doing and posting what you post because you give people courage to push past their comfort zone and go get help when it is needed. For the first time our family has went from a two income down to one and it has rocked our world and we now need help. Because of YOU I got the courage to go to our local food basket for the first time on Monday and I can’t tell you how much that helped our family! I am so grateful for the help, & the kind employees who made me feel comfortable and made sure I knew that this food needed a home… they do one monthly pickup and you’re able to stop in when you’re in need and see what they have on hand…
So Carolina, THANK YOU ❤❤!
Also I can feel your sadness and I hope that it lifts and you get back to feeling better. Take your time and take care of yourself ❤
That’s amazing to hear! It’s a tough time for a lot of us. I’m so glad you were able to get the help you needed! Thanks for all the encouragement!
I love your attitude!!! You are so happy with everything you get. Love your channel ❤
Thank you! I try to keep a positive attitude!
Good to see you Carolina what a lovely 🌹 food blessings for you and your family 🙏 thank you for carrying the message its ok to ask for help i love your energy keep being you 💓😊
Thank you so much!
Please check to make sure the ham is cooked before slicing for sandwiches. I noticed it was uncured and I am not sure whether it should be cooked or not. 😊
I made a lovely side dish with caneloni beans last week. I didn’t have enough veg for a meal so I looked up bean recipes. I fried a three cloves of garlic fibrotic chopped , in olive oil. Add in the beans and sone pesto. I added in sone cherry tomatoes cut in half. Salt pepper and a pinch of sugar . Once the tomatoes were soft I served it. It was so tasty. It said you could use the same ingredients but cold for a salad version of the same dish. It was surprisingly gorgeous and gave me sone ideas instead of just throwing beans into soups ot stews. You could use butter beans for the same recipe or as a humous dip instead of chick peas.
My husband didnt think me going was a big deal until it started helping out with groceries.
It helps SO SO MUCH with the groceries!
I am 73 and every generation thinks things can't be fixed. Not all things will be perfect all the time. But I have never seen it only take 4 years to go down the toilet. Think of how bad is was during WW2 and we rebounded stronger. Young folks need to learn to cook and make due with what they have. I think you do a good job of that.
Started under Reagan with trickle down
Thank you Colleen! I feel like it's longer than 4 years in the making though. I think it'll require more than just "making due" We are getting priced out of live. No amount of cooking will save you when you can't afford the food. No retirement is waiting for us from paying into it since our first paycheck. It'll be depleted by the time we retire. No one can afford a house anymore. The stats are depressing and yeah, I feel like it can't be fixed. Hasn't been "fixed" since the early 2000s. Of course my opinion.
You are doing an awesome job with your family and help so many with showing your haul and encouraging those in need to seek out food pantry. Love your cooking videos too and was wondering if someday you could show what to do with canned campbells cheese soup besides Mac and cheese?
Looking forward to watching your next video.
❤❤❤
Thank you! I mix that cheese soup with cooked ground beef for a tasty burrito filling!
I use it in any recipes that call for "cream of" soup.
The food pantry I run as well as our regional food bank here in South Texas is based on need. To qualify you either already qualify for another government program or meet the income guidelines given by the government. So if you meet the qualifications we want to get food to you! If you qualify why not take what you can so the rest of your income can pay the rest of the bills!
My family likes roasted root veggies. Just lightly coat in olive oil & sprinkle with your favorite seasonings then roast on a baking sheet in your oven at 350° until the hardest veggies are fork tender. Enjoy! Also, a video on beans would be very useful.
Wow your food bank is nice we don’t get a choice but I’m thankful
The change of leadership is not the issue for me.I have lost a good friend who was only 49, my husband is having health issues and I am just ready for spring and sunshine. I know God is in control no matter what!
I'm glad it isn't an issue for you..I'm stressed over here!
Im not liking that you lost a good friend... I like that you know that God is in control no matter what!
I would love a video of all things beans! I have no idea what to do with beans... northern Indiana here.
@@kimberlysmith475 well thank you
@@mamabairds well that’s where having faith in God helps. I’m sorry you are struggling.
You've got almost everything to make salsa (or pico)! And you have tortillas. You can plan a little fiesta to give yourself a boost. Winter blues, just tired of being cold and all the insanity we're dealing with is enough to get anybody a little down. Planning something fun to do with the kids will help you feel better. Your kids are really sweet and fun so just hanging out with them playing games or crafting is bound to light up your life!
That is so true! Kids really do make our grown up problems go away sometimes! We got battleship over Christmas and I've been playing that with them. I love that game! We do have an outing planned to the arcade next week as well. I appreciate your understanding and advice!
Hi,
I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I appreciate your channel. Watching your videos gave me the courage to finally seek help from our local food bank. It wasn’t easy, but your words really inspired me to take that step. Not only did it change my life, but I also shared your message with others who were too afraid to ask for help, and it gave them hope too.
I’d love to learn more about how to cook with beans, if you ever share that kind of content. It would mean a lot.
Hi first time comment long time watcher, I love your videos not cause you go to the food bank honestly I have enough food bank envy, you get things I can't afford to buy but I have a steady income and budget for groceries same budget less amount of food. Anyway no shame in the food bank, I watch you for the real life part I am a real life girl looking for inspiration in the kitchen not hard core cooking or homestead stuff cause thats not me I'm looking for real and easy and you give me that. Thank you. I will say I did once go to a food distribution that had a sign for free food, I went I won't lost it all but got a free case of pomegranates, something I love but never buy since it's not in my budget. I was so grateful for them and juiced them ate them for days. I'm sorry for the hate and your sadness feel your feelings but also know you got silent supporters who love you for you.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
You got lucky on the eggs and coffee. The eggs in Grand Junction Colorado are 7 dollars a dozen. Don't feel bad about using the food bank.
Bean recipes and uses ideas would be great. I use them for some things but open to ideas.
Cannellini are good for soups and putting in salads in summer. I do a tuna, green bean, red onion and Canellini salad with some Olive Garden dressing in summertime. Add some chopped fresh or dry dill makes it even better.
I’m in a town near Seattle and use the food bank also. I missed it for this two week period bc I was sick but I had some backstock so I’m fine. I have a jar of pesto from foodbank I think I’m going to do some pasta pesto and chicken. Not sure what else to add. Maybe some sun dried tomatoes. Hm.
Your food haul looks great. You have a nice foodbank. Mine is nice also.
Don’t forget to use teas to make drinks for the kids as well as the koolaid. You can also stretch the koolaid flavor with using some herbal teas if you want to offer them some if the citric acid flavor that koolaid has but make more drinks for them.
Tapioca is yummy. Add some cinnamon also for even more flavor.
Still watching but just commenting as I watch. Eggs are 7.99 to 10.99 a dozen here which is just insane.
I’m with you on the depression from the current political situation. I was terrified on the day they were shutting everything down like really so scared I was panicking. It took me a day to recover and I was already sick so it all extended my illness some from the stress. Ugh. Hang in there though you aren’t alone in this funk of our current situation. Many many I’ve spoken to have said we will not be taken down. I don’t know what we have to fight with but I will do what I can to just stay in my home, get my medical needs met and care services I need and housing assistance I have. It’s so scary to be disabled and at the mercy of someone turning on or off a benefit on a whim. My former mom in law and I were talking and she said she was at the store that day and so many were checking out with their EBT and their benefits were frozen so they had to figure out what to do. Un-freaking-real. I was so scared of losing housing, Medicaid and Medicare and snap benes. I would be homeless disabled and in a mess. I’m so scared now and just trying to not let it make me sick and trigger more anxiety and depression about my situation.
I hope you are holding up also and thankful for the folks who organize, work and volunteer at the food banks where we would be in a mess without it.
Would love to see your baked beans recipe sometime. I have a good one from my Boston relatives I want to try and some navy beans to use so may try it at some point. First want to use the ones I have in cans here. And I have the same response to not needing as much tuna, rice, chicken noodle soup and canned green beans. They are used and staples but it would be nice to have them mix it up with the veggies offered. I always can get tomatoes and spaghetti stuff, soups which are almost always chicken noodle and rice which I do use , pasta of some form, a bag of produce, milk/eggs and sometimes cheese. One to three meat options usually ground beef, sometimes pork and sometimes poultry or fish. It’s a really life changing option for me and without it I would be eating a lot more poorly. They often have dried beans and sometimes canned beans, ramen noodles, some Mac and cheese and some form of hamburger helper or flavored rice.
Peanut butter, soemtieks canned chicken and or salmon sometimes and occasionally canned beef I think. I appreciate the fresh stuff especially bc it’s hard to afford and the staples are a leg up to making the base for the fresh things.
We have cereal usually but wishing it was something other than generic corn flakes or cheerios but I prefer the cheerios over cornflakes. We used to have a much more comprehensive selection but as more are using our food bank it’s become thinner and thinner for any extras and number of selections available.
Hope you have a good weekend after this treacherous week in the news. ❤ love your family and stay warm.
We used to do a cook out every winter. Fire up the grill, cook hot dogs and hamburgers, serve with baked beans, pasta salad, etc but eat inside. Gave the whole family a lift! We live in New England. Boy was that dinner a treat!
I love that idea!!
@@mamabairds Carolina, you made my day! If you try it, I would love your feedback.
@@joanburga3873 will do! I was literally just looking up a home made baked bean recipe!
A bean video would be great! 😂 Great haul.
Coming soon!
You are doing a great thing for your family😊
I appreciate your kind words!
I don't get upset that you go to the food bank I get jealous, lol. Here in my town we have Good Samaritan but they only have a stock of canned goods that are donated by school canned food drives and a person can only eat so many vegetables and no protein. Also have a large church that has a giveaway 3 Saturdays a month but you get what they pile in boxes and to be honest most of it's not edible or freezer burnt. And then a couple smaller churches that give out small boxes that contain 1 meal and once a month! So a foodbank would be awesome for this small town! Prayers one day it will happen! Blessings y'all!
I understand that! I do wish all of them were as wonderful and as generous as mine!
It's not wrong to go to a food bank , I have in the past. I know there is a serious need for many (too many) within my local community and beyond.
Six years ago I got serious about the pantry I keep and gardening.
If I were going to the food bank I would definitely take the rice and canned goods for later use.
Mama I'm going to give you advice people are so darn judgmental.
If you need to go to food pantries for your family of five with two animals it's your right.
I agree if the people don't go to the food pantries, the food is thrown out.
I've seen it firsthand.
it is rough out there.
I know.
I'm a very small family of 2 with 3 animals. Yes, it is only just my daughter and I, but sometimes I cannot afford the food that I need.
my ex. Husband walked out on us 7 years ago ... good riddance I say, but it has been merely impossible to survive.
Food is outrageous.
Rent is outrageous bills.Sometimes i'm living on credit cards.
And I work almost every day and my daughter has a part time job and I might get a second job and I still can't afford the food that is so expensive.
MamaBaird you are amazing.
You are an inspiration to all mom's and wives out there that try to do their best to do great for their family.
You keep going to food pantries, and anybody here that says anything different, just block and delete them.
That's what I do when people say stuff on my youtube channel, I tell them off and then I block and delete them and report them. Or hide them because you can't really block anyone here and youtube unfortunately.
if I didn't go to food pantries or if you didn't go to food pantries we would really be struggling even more so.
Okay. So we put our lives, you put your life. I put my life out on TH-cam for everyone to make comments if they want to.
But the negative comments don't mean anything.
All the rest of the people that are here to support you in your life endeavors stick with them.
. Personally, I think it's okay to go to food pantries, and when I have too much, I give it to other people. Or if I don't eat that food, I'll give it to another church.
Quite frankly this is none of anyone's business.
Keep doing you, honey, because I'm gonna keep coming back and seeing your beautiful videos and everything.
So you know, don't be down-and-out a lot of people will say stuff so you have to push it off your shoulders.
I should take my own advice because sometimes I go crazy when people start saying stuff on what I say on My youtube channel, when i'm just trying to talk about things in this life, you know?
I remember when you had like 500 subscribers. Now look, look what you've accomplished, you're amazing. You inspired me to start really nurturing my TH-cam channel, and I love you for it. Keep doing you hugs and love your friend, jennifer
Your food bank is so generous. ❤ I’m glad there’s resources available to you. Change is hard. Our country is going through change too and it sure is unsettling.
I increased my vitamin D3 intake to counteract the amount of winter we’re getting this year. It seems to be helping me. Hope you feel better soon.
A trick with the Claussen pickles... when you finish them put sliced onion in the juice... let sit a few days & enjoy
I love the idea of onions in pickle juice 👍😃
I'm going to do that!! Thank you!
@@mamabairds you're welcome
The red pepper jelly is awesome when you put it over cream cheese.What a great Appetizer.
Oh that would be good!!
I was excited this week to get gigantic beets.. my caregiver makes me a salad that has potatoes, peas, dill pickles and carrots and beets all chopped into tiny pieces,, carrots , potatoes and beets are all boiled for 5 minutes or fork tender.. you can use canned potatoes and peas
This salad is so good and healthy and something my mom made often. For me it’s perfect with sour cream for a dressing. How do you dress yours?
Hang in there. We all need your kind words and budget meal ideas.
Thank you!
Such a nice haul, wow. I dont mind recieving food that is portioned into ziploc bags.
I wish I could find something like this in New Orleans.
Eggs are Kroger this week is a 18 count eggs is $3.99 this week is special
wow. at walmart here where we live-in Southern oregon 18 eggs are over 10$. i would love to pay 3.99$ for 18 eggs.
Time for me to log onto my Kroger account and click that egg coupon😃 I ALMOST shelled out $5.79 for a dozen last week and decided "oh heck no I'm not!" They went back into the egg cooler😲
I live in NY about 45 minutes out side of NYC. 36 pack of eggs at WalMart is running 13 dollars
I do miss you when there are no videos! Hope you get some inspiration and motivation and start feeling better. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to our visits. 🥰
Thank you, that means a lot!
Glad to see video. Hope you and family doing ok. Yes, on bean video . Take care. See on your next video ❤
Great haul. Food banks are such a blessing. Eggs here in Eastern Mt are $5.50 per dozen of large eggs. Can't wait for warmer weather when my hens start laying again!
I can't wait for mine to start laying again too!
You can take coconut extract and put on a cut up turnip let it sit for a bit and it’ll taste like your eating a fresh coconut. 🥥 yum
I make ham and beans with the navy beans
I have no idea what eggs are running right now as we got a Costco 5 dozen eggs Bo’s just a day or so before the prices skyrocketed. We’re using our eggs very slowly 😂 thankfully we’ve noticed our eggs actually last a bit longer than a month after the expiration date so, we’re good for another couple of weeks. Most of the time when the prices go up to ridiculous levels, we tend to eat more out of our pantry (and both freezers start getting a lot more space in them 😂) and/or we just eat cheaper proteins. Helps that when I cook I usually do my “batch cooking” then & just put 1/2 (or all depending upon how many leftovers we have that week to go through) into the freezer in portion sizes for “heat and eat” meals at a later date.
Correct & good for you to notice that after the winter holidays, eggs are less common!! Easter 2025 is on Apr 20th, so Lent begins on Mar 5th. Eggs will become more dommon as the spring holidays are approaching. Meanwhile, meatless Mondays are a good idea for conserving cash & trying to improve one's income!!
As Ryan Hall of Y'all weather squad says, "Be Prepared, not Scared!"
Would absolutely love too see your bean ideas and could you include lentils with your ideas?
Do I have to....haha!
Hello Carolina
Wow your food bank is very generous ❤
That’s awesome 👍
Enjoy
That's a wonderful way to handle it to have recipients cross out what they don't need. My friend was a food bank volunteer. She was able to take home the expired food so she'd make batches of Farmers Cheese outside over a bon-fire. Got all the expired organic milk, peppers, lemons, for the cheese. What State are you in?
Hi Mama B.!!! You got some really good items from both Food Banks.Glad you are able to get food. Ivory got some real good items from Sams. Why did she have to spend $13.00??? Thought Food Banks were all Free. Anyways, Thanks for sharing this with us. Take Care...Nice Video!!!...🦋
Hi this is Ivory it's called a Co-op we kinda buy into the service so it goes by your income to be able to shop this is the only one here in Michigan that requires money the rest of the pantrys are free if that helps We also have a senior pantry that I could use twice a month if I need to for free which also have free food for pets I really use that one because most of the time the one haul is enough for myself
hUoi poor baby. I understand those winter blues. W gav to pray our way through and lean on each other. Thank you for sharing. Blessed be!
Dont feel bad u use the food bank. u have children to feed. u have to pay rent and keep everyone warm. things are so costly right now. I dont know how a family makes it these days. Rent is so costly and everything. if your food bank approves u. U are good to go friend. i know how u feel. we use it...but am so grateful. A family of two can make over 61,000$ a year to use the food pantry here. i cant believe that gf. its crazy. We dont make anywhere near that. ♥
I’m glad you’re back, I’ve been worried about you. Take care of yourself
i love the ideas you come up with with your pasta dishes
Some of us in the North are also very worried with the changes in the South! Always enjoy and learn so much from your video's....and yes to cooking with dried beans....Food prices are high on both sides of the US/Can borders....Please know your video's are most helpful to all of us living on a budget. Keep the video's coming....From Ottawa, Ontario
Thank you so much!
Wow, 2 dozen eggs! The eggs here in California at Albertsons are anywere between $8.00 & 12.00 per dozen when you can even find them. Needless to say I haven't bought eggs in over a month. Our town only does a drive thru food distribution x2 / month. A friend went yesterday and was told that they had very little food to distribute. She got 2 cans of beans, a small bag of rice, 1 can green beans, 1 can corn, 1 can tomato sauce, 1 box Mac & cheese, 2 potatoes, 2 onions, 4 carrots, 2 apples & 2 oranges. They had no bread, meat or dairy. So, you all are very blessed to get all the items you are! Crazy things going on at this time. God bless you and keep trying to be positive.
Very happy for you!🥰🇨🇦
Cannelloni beans are white kidney beans, so they can be used in anything you'd use red kidney beans in
oh good to know! Thank you!!
Sis, u never have to apologize for having a life. If people have a hard time with that consept, oh eell
Thank you!
I totally get about the blahs…I have been really just feeling crappy. Your not alone❤
It's that time of year...
I love that red pepper jelly i get it at Costco. Its delicious as a meatball glaze
Prayers for you and family.thanks for sharing.jesus love you all
The viewer haul was pretty good too. It is noce to have already prepped meals like that.
Great haul
I’ve never heard of anyone having to pay at a food bank. Humm I guess every state is different
Love the bag of veggies
Cannellini beans are great in pasta e fagioli (Olive Garden style) and in my cowboy beans recipe :)
God bless you and your family. ❤
Yes would love to see what all the different beans are good for!
Prayers for mama bear 🙏🏽
I've read on other YT channels that some food banks are regularly running out of food. Is that true where you are?
Mine is not. Not yet anyway!
Girl I know what you mean about the change in America I was so depressed
Depressed that an anti-American was voted out of office?
I am glad you got the food from the food bank. What you did not pick up would probably be throwed out
At least it will help your family. Tfs
Tapioca pudding with pineapple! Yum!
I got a box of tuna helper. It was noodles with white sauce. I don't like hot tuna so I cut up a chicken breast. I cooked it then added the helper. Added seasonings and it was really good.
Great idea I don't like hot tuna either 🎉 Thanks!!
Great idea!
love your videos
Thank you!
I hope you feel better. My household has had the flu. Love your video ❤
Oh I'm sorry to hear that!
Please do a bean video. Great food pantry haul. 💜😊
Yes ..on the beans!! That would be great😊
The bacon bourbon salad is awesome,I would love to know what to do with beans please do that video. Feel better hon😊
Bean video coming up! haha
January is always too dark. Maybe review a sun lamp. 😊
I like that idea!
Great haul. My mother made turnips like mashed potatoes. Peel them, wash then and cube them up. Boil them with water or broth until tender. Add salt and pepper and butter or margarine. Mash them up. Turnips have a slight sweetness. Great side dish.
Oh, I'm going to give that a try! Thank you!
Yes soooooo good. No lumps 🥹
You have an amazing food bank
I really do! I know I'm really lucky!
With thr recent news iv heard. I am hitting up a few food giveaways this week to help stock us up
It's a good idea!
Wow, what a wonderful haul.
Eggs are 5.00 for 18 count or 459 for a dozen
Crazy! Our 18 pack was $10 and 6 pack was $4 and a dozen $5
Its so interesting watching the different items people receive depending on the area they live in. How much would you estimate the cost would have been to purchase all those items? Good name, brand things. Other places only receive government commodities. I've never been, but I really enjoy learning how to utilize the different ingredients to make meals. ❤
It has to be well over $100 with prices now a days. Especially on the meat and dairy!
Nobody would be stressing if there wasnt mass amounts of lies and misinformation
Exactly!!! Someone who is struggling financially is stressing about the change?? Makes NO sense omg
So true! This is the time to finally be relieved!
There is definitely lying going on that's I'm extremely concerned for our country.
Yes our COUNTRY IS IN REAL TROUBLE NOT REALLY GOING INTO THINGS WE NEED TO PRAY FOR OURSEVES AND OTHERS! BECAUSE WE ARE PRETTY MUCH ON OUR OWN IN AMERICA!😢😢😢😢😢
So true, the media continues to lie and put fear in people when it's not warranted.
Why do you allow your cat on the table ???
@SylviaStDenis It's our craft table. Technically, it's her table. She let me borrow it under her supervision!
Great a new video. I have watched every one of your videos ❤
Thank you so much!
I was thinking a good idea for a video might be on how to use egg substitutes. And what you can use.
Oh that's a great idea!
Nice food bank items
Yeah, some pretty good stuff in there!
Great food bank haul
Thanks, I was surprised at how much they gave me!
I really wish that our food banks would give even half of that here.
We have one food bank that we can go to every other month and the other one is once a month.
Don't get me wrong, I am very thankful for any type of help that I can get.
I thank God for everything He blesses me with.
I get it. I really do get a lot and am so thankful for all the help. I do wish all the other ones were like mine.
