    Hi love your videos I wish our food pantry had bigger resources. I’m still thankful for what we have. We had a mini fridge for a couple years it’s all we could afford to. It went out so now we only have a freezer will probably get another mini fridge when we can.

    • @CareFreeLivingChannel
      @CareFreeLivingChannel  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you for watching! I'm sorry to hear your mini-fridge went out. I think appliances go on sale between now and Thanksgiving to make room for the new inventory for the upcoming year. If you have a "mom and pop" appliance store, they might allow payments where you get the appliance now and pay on it (just an idea). I hope you have a great day!

      Thank you so much, Judy! I love going to the gym. As the weather becomes colder, it's easier for me to put it off, so that's the challenge for Winter! Also, walking is key for me, that really helps keep me on track. The food pantry is such a blessing! Even when life was different, I did not eat this well. I am so happy for the salads and different items to try. Have a wonderful day, Judy!

    Yummy day courtesy of the food pantry! All your meals looked wonderful, Sarah! I've been watching your videos for a while now. The lighting always seems great. I understand light levels are changing as we enter into winter (Brrrrr!) but it's never been an issue with your videos. You don't seem to have a lot of windows & natural light anyway. Do you need a light ring? I'm not sure. That's my 2 cents. Have a great rest of your week!

    great haul as always. You have inspired me to go to the food pantry for the senior couple and their disabled son I help take care of. I go on Friday when it is always senior only. It is a difficult task because I don't drive due to having several strokes. It has helped so much keeping my 3 clients on their diets and a lot of the people in the pantry line are so friendly. There is a volunteer there who has Downs syndrome whom I call pickle boy (really his name is Brandon) because he comes with his mom as a part of her job at Vlasic pickles who provides volunteers and donations. Have you ever thought about volunteering at your pantry?

    My mom and I are both seniors and have gotten over the initial embarrassment of going to the food pantry. Especially after seeing just how much food waste happens in the US. Sometimes, we get what they give you, but anything we won't eat,we give back so someone will get it.

    • @CareFreeLivingChannel
      @CareFreeLivingChannel  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You bring up a great point! There is so much food waste. My food pantry shares excess food with the volunteers and staff and of course the farmers. They run it very well. It can feel strange to shop for "free" food, at first. After a while, I got used to it and then began to love shopping there! I am so glad you and your Mom are shopping there. God Bless You both!

    Food pantry always has so much looking food! Can you tell me how it works? Are you allotted so many items per week? Or does it depend on how many people are in your household? Great video!

    • @CareFreeLivingChannel
      @CareFreeLivingChannel  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks so much! The food pantry has an application process where they approve clients based on income and family size. What you see on my videos is the allotment for a 1-person household. Families are allowed more items and also the largest size jars are usually for families of five or more! The larger the family, the more food they get.

    Hi Sarah,
    I always enjoy the beginning of your vlogs showing Mr. Turtle, Honey Bunny, and Friends.
    You received a lot of nice food.
    I have been meaning to ask does everyone receives the same amount of food from the food pantry? Or does it go by the number of household members. I hope this question makes sense.
    My other question is does the food last you for the week? Or only part of the week?
    Take care 😊

    • @CareFreeLivingChannel
      @CareFreeLivingChannel  28 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you! The food I get is allowed for a 1-person household. If I had a larger household, the amount of canned food, toilet paper and meat increases. Some items are the same for everyone like desserts, bread, and perishables. The staff do a great job making sure shoppers stay within the guidelines! The fridge food can last all week. Sometimes it goes bad if it was already on it's way out. Mr. Turtle and the Honey Bunny Crew just woke up and are demanding coffee! No wonder the bunnies are hopping around all night, they are caffeinated!
