FRUGAL LIVING & Food Pantry Haul 2024 - Foodie Food Haul - FOOD BANK - Food Pantry Haul Video

- 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. 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 Sometimes the food is very out of date and not suitable.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
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.

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 food bank help. Each county has a social services department that can direct you to food pantry resources in your area.
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.
HOW TO QUALIFY FOR FOOD BANK?
They go by your income.
FOOD PANTRY MEALS ARE SUCH A BLESSING!

The next video will be released on Friday August 16th at 7 pm Eastern. Please turn on your notifications so you don't miss it! See you then!!!
I admire that even if you cannot afford to purchase the coffee at the coffee shop, you go on the outing and Make It Work and have a great time!!!
Thank you! It's such a blessing to shop at the food pantry. It helps me appreciate what life is now. It's wonderful to get a Starbuck's pastry and have the fancy coffee pods. I am so happy to be able to enjoy it!
The small tomato that you thought might be fake was a type of heirloom tomato. Great video as usual.
Ah ha! An heirloom tomato, what a beautiful piece of nature. Thank you for watching my video!
@@CareFreeLivingChannelI grow an organic garden including tomatoes and I donate to the food bank. Sometimes the odd bits come from peoples gardens.
@tenthousanddaysofgratitude Nothing better than a garden tomato!
Great food pantry haul. The produce will help your meals be healthy.
Thank you! Love to get produce!
I’d love to see you use the proteins you get that are frozen. Most meals are salad or reheating, but I’m sure you make things with the frozen meats and pantry staples…would be fun to see.
Thank you for letting me know what you'd like to see. I will try to add a 'frozen meat meal' in the future!
Honey I know all about poor. In my early 20s after my divorce I didn't have a car and I barely could make ends meet. I walked back and forth to work, the laundry Matt, when I could afford to go, to the grocery store because we didn't have food banks. I had a great figure back then.
You know what it can be like! I was accustomed to financially struggling but then it got worse. Life is much better now, thank God. Hallelujah! Looking back, one of the most difficult realities was people I knew for years just got the popcorn to be entertained. But God intervened! Since then anyone of that nature has been removed from my immediate life and wow what an improved life it has become!
@CareFreeLivingChannel God had brought me through so much. I know about the popcorn friends. I have friends but very few are allowed in my inner circle. My , I thought bf was a coworker. I had ankle replacement surgery April 5. She called to tell me I made a mistake at work, turns out I didn't and she hasn't called back. I saw her at my retirement lunch and that's it. I have called her several times but nothing from her.
That has a familiar ring to my ears! I hope your ankle has healed. Sometimes when/if I am mistreated by someone that I did not anticipate it from, I thank God for showing me what I did not see on my own. Some people just got to go. Life is too important to be troubled by those that can't be bothered if you know what I mean! I had "work friends" that in my experience were not real friends. Hallelujah for the "popcorn friend" removal, thank God!
@CareFreeLivingChannel I'm blessed to have a good husband this go round. God truly sent this man to me. Have a Blessed week and catch you Friday evening sweet lady.
Thank God for good men! I know what you mean. Have a great night and see you tomorrow!

Oh, that really Tiny onion is so cute looking.
Cute little onion!
I love goat cheese I think it taste really good and scrambled but the way you made it with the bread looks warm too. You got a lot of blessings this week from the food pantry especially the blessings to you😇🤗 .
I love goat cheese, too! It may be my favorite cheese. I like it on toast, it's yummy. The food pantry is a wonderful blessing, so glad to get all that I got. I hope you have a great week ahead!
I enjoy watching you
The food pantry items looked delicious.
Mr Turtle is Beautiful 😅
❤🎉
Mr. Turtle is a handsome boy! I love shopping at the food pantry, it’s a blessing!
Nice haul with yummy food! I do love me some steak. Enjoy your week. 😊❤
Thank you! I'm so happy to get all that I got. Oh yes, food pantry steak is wonderful!
I'll have to look for that orange and cream coffee in Target. It sounds so good. I like anything "orange"
I might have to go into town to buy coffee in the future. Haven't been to Target in years! I like the orange flavor, it's yummy to me.
Looks like a great haul! Hope that orange cream coffee is good! ~Tink
Hi Tink! The orange cream coffee is wonderful. I ran out of creamer and had to do a Food Lion run early this morning! Have a great night, Tink!
Good evening. I just love your channel. You always get great things & make use of what you get. Keep it up.
Thank you very much! The food pantry is a great place to shop, so glad to have access to it. The meals were fantastic!
Honey Bunny must have been hungry 😂
When the Honey Bunnies get loose, it's hard to get control of them! They hop all around trying to get into my food and everything!
You have the best items I have seen in any food pantry hauls.
Thank you! I am so happy to have access to the food pantry. It helps so much.
NH maple weekends is the best
Sounds beautiful!
The black thing at the dump was a bug zapper.
You are right!
Save the makeup remover cloth. I use them as a body wipe on days I don’t have time for a shower.
What a clever idea! I guess it's like a baby wipe! Thank you for your suggestion.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS
Thank YOU for watching! I appreciate you being here!
❤
Thank you so much for watching!
the mac-n-cheese might have nutmeg as an ingredient. while I like nutmeg I don't care for it in savory dishes. but I know others do.
Oh maybe that's it! Because I love mac-n-cheese but it's got something odd in it. I put nutmeg in my coffee sometime and like it.
Enjoyed your video today. Have you tried making your oatmeal then stir in some applesauce, cinnamon, little brown or white sugar. Yum. Walnuts too!
I have not tried adding applesauce but it sounds yummy! Thank you for your suggestion!
Makes me hungry 😉
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Really love your shirt. It’s very pretty
Love from a subscriber from uk xxx
Thank you very much! I bought the shirt from the thrift store for $1.25 it was a good bargain! I enjoy buying my clothing from thrift stores. Have a wonderful day!
Fantastic haul! What a blessing! Enjoy every bit!!!! 😇👍
Thank you. Yes, it sure is a wonderful blessing! I'm eating good in the neighborhood!
Buffalo chicken- the sauce on it was invented in Buffalo New York
It sure was a great slice of pizza! I like the flavor, very yummy!
decades ago my friend and I got thrown out of McDonalds for taking our own lunches inside though we bought drinks!
Wow! Sounds like a power trip to me. I know establishments have rules but still! I guess I should count myself lucky the coffee shop did not kick me out. I think they could see I was broke at the time, and wanted to be kind.
Hi Sarah.I love your Channel so much.Watch it everytime.Yup Limburger is not a Butter.LOL.but I guess you find out by now.LOLIt`s a stinky Cheese.The Cheese is very famous here in Germany.My Husband hats it.Greetings from Germany Petra
Hello Petra! Thank you for watching all the way from Germany! I investigated an odd smell in the fridge and discovered it was not fancy butter. I'll never forget it! I'm happy you enjoy my channel. Thank you for watching!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel 😁😁😷Yup the smell of this Cheese is bad.LOL.Love watching your Videos.Petra
It's an experience I'll never forget! Not butter! Have a wonderful day, Petra.
Mr turtle was behaving himself humm what he planning gor friday lol❤
You never know what Mr. Turtle is up to! He looks all innocent but he's up to something!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel yup you gotta keep an eye out on that guy he cute 🥰
Hiya Sarah! The food pantry sent you home with lots of goodies this week. Yay! All your meals looked fabulous…I never would have thought to put pico on toast. Will have to give that a try. Have a great week and I’ll see you on Friday. 👋🏼😀
Thank you, Judy! The toast with that salsa turned out great, I enjoyed it. I'm so happy the food pantry had a vast selection to choose from, what a blessing. See you on Friday, Judy and have a great night!
Great food pantry haul Sarah! I'm almost (almost) jealous of the foods you get! Wow! So wonderful! I know you are thankful for what you receive.. 👍 Have a good week, my friend!
@christophervogt7456 Hi Chris! I am so glad to get the food pantry items, it's a great blessing. I enjoyed all the meals. I hope your week goes great, too, Chris!
I never brought my own coffee to a coffee shop but if I was alone and needed to charge my phone, I would sit at a table where the patron had just left and left a coffee cup to make it look like I had purchased something. I wouldn’t stay longer than necessary and always tried to purchase some small thing. If my friend bought a coffee, I would feel okay about taking up space at the same table, without a beverage.
I understand that. I’ve had some odd restaurant experiences for sure. It was an awkward time for me at the coffee shop. I was sitting there hungry while the person I sat with ordered breakfast and ended up throwing half of it away. Maybe that’s why I don’t go out to coffee shops anymore. I’m loving the food pantry coffee though!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel I’m sorry your friend wasn’t more sensitive to your financial situation. That sounds very awkward. How was the orange cream coffee?
I literally woke up and smelt the coffee back then! Some folks I had to let go of and life got so good. The orange cream coffee is lovely. It has a light fragrance to it, that I look forward to in the morning!
I'm not sure but I think you can cut your cheese into smaller pieces and freeze. Your viewers may know. Research and see.
Thank you! Freezing cheese is a good idea.
Wow! What a score this week from the food pantry! That meat looks so good! And that cute onion it looks like a pearl onion! Hehe real cute
Thank you so much! I was thrilled the food pantry had more inventory this week. The onion is the smallest I ever seen, so cute!
yes! They sure are cute! To me onions are too strong for me personally, a little goes a long way for me! I used to buy the frozen pearl onions too! Have a great week Sarah!
I love onions but do not like smelling like I love onions! They can be strong for sure. I hope your week is fantastic, too!
You can cut cheese into smaller blocks and freeze. It will be crumbly, but will melt just the same. Saves it from getting moldy.
Thank you! I think it's a good idea to freeze the cheese!
Exactly what I was thinking.
Honey Bunny came to join you. 😂😂😂
That Tomato is a real tomato. The dark one. I can't remember what they are called but they are edible.
I enjoyed your video today.
Have a fun week. ❤😊
The bunnies are taking over my trailer! Just when I thought they were altogether, one broke loose! I think they just want to see what I'm making for lunch, curious little bunnies. That's an interesting little tomato, so pretty! Have a great week and I hope all is well!
@CareFreeLivingChannel everything is good. We're adjusting to the babies being here 😃. They are being spoiled non stop.
Is that an Heirloom tomato maybe?
@CAJST-dh3oo Awww, I'm happy to hear it! What an exciting time for you. Enjoy it!
@Rox-bd3ri I bet you're right! An heirloom tomato!
Oh, that's too funny. You said it shortly after I posted it.😅
For some reason, I didn't see your comment until now! Hope you have a great night!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel That happens every now and then on this platform. I just recently got notified of one that was six months old.
@@DisabledandPrepping It's so strange! I've been in the middle of typing a reply and the comment just disappears. TH-cam is a funny place sometimes!
Hi Sara, I am happy to see you today! I just love everything about your videos, if you posted one everyday I would watch every one of them. See you Friday..SMILES
Awww thank you so much! I'm happy to hear you enjoy my channel! Have a great week and see you on Friday!
You got some wonderful foods. Everything looks great! I was just curious, have you ever thought about getting a pet…maybe a lil dog or a cat?
Thank you! Yes I sure do think about getting a little dog. I like grumpy chihuahuas!
You make things look so appetizing on your teeth
Thank you! I enjoy putting pretty plates together, it's fun for me!
Oh, you can make tuna melts with the bread, tuna and cheese😊
Great idea! I will have to try making it. YumYum!
Everything looked so delicious. I recently bought from store...some fig & goat cheese wrapped in like a phyllo dough. Oh my it was Devine.
Always enjoyable Sarah.
Thank you! That sounds very yummy. Goat cheese is so good! Have a great night!
Thought I commented eatlier. If this is a duplicate, please distegard. What a great food pantry haul! You get wonderful food items at your pantry. I'm almost jealous. Lol! Stay well my friend!
Hi Chris! No worries, I'm glad to see your comment. Have a wonderful night, Chris!
My goodness the food snd snacks looked so yummy ❤
Thank you very much! I had a lot of fun putting together the meals. They turned out good!
You got a wonderful selection from the food pantry Sarah. Don't know if you know it Sarah but you can freeze cheese. Love watching 👀 xx
Thank you so much! I will try freezing the big block of cheese, it's just so much. It's like a "family size" block! Thank you for watching tonight!
I don’t think that’s butter. That looks like Limburger cheese to me. It is one of the foulest smelling cheese you’ll ever find. great haul. God bless you.
I thought it was fancy butter! It's definitely not butter. Have a great day and God Bless You, too!
Been watching for a while enjoy very much
Thank you for watching my channel!
The meat look so good great job ❤
Thank you! So happy to get the food and the meat was just great to get, too!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel great on getting nice and yummy food
Great video. Please keep me and my husband in your prayers. He had a stroke in March and is having problems with passing out. I’m having problems with AFib and sharp pains above my ear. They are going to do another ctscan. Every time we turn it’s another challenge. I hope you’re staying cool. Jan
Prayers for healing
Thank you, Jan! God Bless You and your Husband. I will keep you both in my prayers. Thank you for being here tonight and taking the time to watch my video. I hope it was uplifting to you and brought you some joy. God Bless you, Jan!
Loved the video it was great can't wait till Friday video❤
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Friday will be fun, too, I hope!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel it will be im sure
I love the food you got….i love kale salads ! Can’t wait to see the next one on Friday. Have a great week.
Thank you so much! Kale salads are wonderful and crunchy. I hope you have a great week, too!
14:07 That looks like a rabbit in a way.
I’m seeing bunnies everywhere!
💟💟💟😊💟💟💟
Thank you so much for watching my video!
Great haul again Sarah!
Thank you very much! So glad to get all that I got.

I'm so glad to hear it! I love putting pretty plates together!
Good & Gather products are from Target. 🎯 Great job on your meals! 💚
Thank you! I might have to drive to town and visit Target! Stock up on the good coffee. I love all the meals I made, it's been great!
That thing by the trash is a bug zapper
Thank you again!
I WAS TOO TIRED TO GO TO THE FOOD BANK TODAY SO I SPENT SOME FOOD STAMPS
Thank you for watching my video tonight! I'm glad you were able to make it work and get what you need!
If it wasn’t butter then what was it? Nice haul! That cheesecake looked so yummy! 🩷💚💙🧡❤️🦋🦋🦋
It's a very strong smelling cheese! The cheesecake was amazing, hope to get it again. Thank you for watching!
Limburger cheese actually tastes good.
@janetsides901 I thought it was some fancy German butter!
Was that honey bunny up to something lol
I gotta keep my eye on the bunnies, too! It's a full house here with these critters!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel yes but their so cute I can how they get away with it lol
Yes, they are so cute! I was looking at the small ramekins I got from the thrift store awhile back and got to thinking how cute they'd be to feed a little dog with. I might have to get me a little dog one day. Add to the pet family! I like grumpy chihuahuas!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel my brother had two one the mom and one of her baby's cindy Lou and angel the baby she my brother fig all the way if you touch him let's just say no don't do that lol
Chihuahuas are funny, they let you know how they feel! I had one for a good while and he was the perfect gentleman. Always had his happy face smile and was content with very little. I miss him all the time!
Do you make a grocery list before shopping?
Great question! No I don’t make a list for shopping at the food pantry. But it’s a good idea to do so.
Where are you located, our food pantry not like this
I am in the Southern East Coast. It’s a great food pantry. Thank you for watching!
How come we can't see your eyes?
That thing by trash is a bug zapper.
Thank you!
How often can u go?
Great question! My food pantry allows shoppers to shop once a week.
Oh wow. My comments will not post.
I got your comment! TH-cam must be acting up again. Sometimes comments come in delayed or duplicated!
Good morning and thank you for watching my video!
❤
Thank you for watching!
