Thank you very much! I'm excited to try the Cera Vae product, it looks like it will be really nice. A few folks have requested I show my full face on film. Maybe one day!
Sarah, I have just found your channel. I love your positive attitude. I like starting my day with something positive, so there is a nice backlog for me to watch. Thank you and I hope you have a blessed and beautiful day.
Awww, thank you very much! I'm working on getting the living room arranged so I can put my Christmas tree up next month. I want those Christmas lights up and soon! There's a vintage tree topper I'm going to use this year I got from the thrift store.
I was glad to see that you got the fig newtons. However the cream cheese you got would have been tasty with the bagels you skipped. I love bagels and cream cheese for breakfast. Everything else in your haul looked outstanding.
Your meals are always so good ❤❤❤❤❤ We' re currently living in a tent without electricity. We were able to get some good canned foods at our food pantry. I agree with you. Thank you, food pantry
Thank you for watching tonight! I hope a new home is on the horizon for you. Not having electricity is extremely difficult. I hope you are able to stay warm tonight. God Bless You!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel Thank you. We're staying warm with heavy blankets. We hope to be into a camper soon. Then we'll have a stove and mini fridge. Watching you has given me so much useful information
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.
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!
Hi Sarah! Good to see you again and you’re looking good as well. I could tell your gym days are paying off when you were walking down the hall in the beginning of the video. Great haul from the pantry…glad they’re keeping you fed! 😀 Take care.
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!
Hi Sarah, that was a good haul and a lot of fabulous meals you made. Love the smell of coffee can't stand the taste. I pray you have a wonderful week. God bless.
Hi Sara, good morning! Yes coffee does have a great smell. Sometimes it can taste bitter. Years ago I would visit Aldi's and get organic coffee beans, that seemed to help! Have a beautiful day, Sara and God Bless You!
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!
Hi Chris! Thank you for sharing your "2 Cents"! I don't have many windows here for natural light. But I'm glad the videos look good using the light access that I do have! I'm happy you enjoyed the meals I put together. Have a wonderful day, Chris!
I got a silver butter dish for a wedding gift over 60 years ago.I decided to use it everyday instead of storing it for special occasions. Why not enjoy it!
Hi Sarah! So happy to see a new video 🎉 did you get a new vehicle? You had an incredible spread of fridge items this week! I haven't had a ring light before but I've heard they're good for filming. Please pray for us as this Saturday we are making the move to Texas! I will be watching your next food pantry video in a new state and home 😊 God bless you and have a good week!
You'll do great on the move! I know moving is stressful, but God is good and will carry you through! Oh, no new cars (I'm either in my car or my Man's car). I think I'll try the ring light, so the plates of food can really "shine". God Bless You on your family's new home and adventure, be safe!
As for the ring light, I'm thinking about getting one from my channel, but it all depends on. If you can find one, then you can afford and have the money to spend for it. That's where I'm stuck right now. But I'm saving up little-by-little.😊
Hey girlfriend, hope you'll show how you cook carnival squash. Eat most squash but I've never heard of this one. Guessing you've got a lot going on but I miss your long 1hr plus videos. It's like waiting for my friend to get home .❤😊
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?
I'm thrilled to hear you are utilizing the food pantry for your clients, that is fantastic! Keep going and good job getting there with the challenges of driving. I think volunteering is a great idea, thank you for your recommendation. Have a wonderful night and thank you for watching my video!
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.
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!
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 😊
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!
Love your video great as always !!!!! ❤❤❤❤ love ya
Awww thank you very much! I had a lot of fun making this video. I'm so happy you enjoyed watching it!
Yes, a ring light will make a WORLD of difference!
As I get settled into Fall, it's getting dark early. I hope the light helps!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel It wasn't bad to me I could see just fine it wasn't dark for me luv.
Good to know - thank you!
Yummy! Great items again this week. Perfect for one person too
Thanks so much! I'm glad to get all that I got!
What a great haul!! The Cera Vae is great love all their products.Miss Sarah you seem like a such a sweet lady,wish we could see who we are watching.
Thank you very much! I'm excited to try the Cera Vae product, it looks like it will be really nice. A few folks have requested I show my full face on film. Maybe one day!
Another stellar video. You have a knack for sure. God bless 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed my video. God Bless You, too!

Hi Sarah, nice food haul. Meals were great as always. I like the way you organize. Hope you have a wonderful week.🎉
Thank you very much! I've had a great time with the meals and fitting it in the mini-fridge! I hope you have a great week, too and see you on Friday!
❤
Thank you for watching!
Maybe slice the croissant and put the chocolate inside either after warming the croissant or midway through heating
@Rox-bd3ri Good idea on the chocolate, thank you!
Everything looks so yummy ❤
Thank you very much!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel welcome 🤗
I would love to get some of those seeds from the tiny tomatoes. I bet you those would grow really good in is aerogarden.
That's a great idea to save the seeds!
Loves the desserts and I want a cup of the coffee ❤
The desserts were great! As the weather cools, I appreciate coffee this time of year so much.
Good food haul, food banks are wonderful and saving food from the landfill is wonderful!
Thank you! The food pantry haul has been great to put together yummy meals. I'm so happy to have access to the pantry!
Delicious as always
Thank you very much! I enjoyed the meals a lot!
your living room area is so cute the way you have it.
Awww, thank you very much! I'm working on getting the living room arranged so I can put my Christmas tree up next month. I want those Christmas lights up and soon! There's a vintage tree topper I'm going to use this year I got from the thrift store.

Thanks so much! I do enjoy bagels, too but they are just so addictive for me. I love carbohydrates! Have a wonderful day and thank you for watching!
You and Mr turtle are looking good! God bless

Awww that's great! Yes, it's so good to enjoy the "good stuff" like a fancy butter dish! Make every day special. Thank you for watching!
I like see defftent items don't drive any more .goo to see items

Ring lights work well

Good point! Budgeting is always a great idea.
Thank you Sarah you motivated me to create my channel and do these same reviews
Fantastic! That's wonderful to hear! God Bless You!
Hey hey Mr turtle Im ms turtle I sit on the deck out here in the summer nice to meet you Mr turtle 💖
Mr. Turtle says Hello! He's had a good day sunbathing!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel I'm happy for him ❤️
@@CareFreeLivingChannel I'm happy he had a good day sun bathing
Mr. Turtle is a good guard turtle of the front porch. I think he would like to have a companion, although he can be quite moody!
@@CareFreeLivingChannel well he's a guy so lol

I had a ring light when I had my channel and it did help
Thank you for sharing that, good to know! I think it would help because I have just a few windows to source natural light through.
@CareFreeLivingChannel I think it would if we lived close I would give you mine.
Awww thank you!

Hi Lois! Thank you for letting me know. I'm going to look into the ring light!
Oh my gosh. I wished you never shown the coconut cake! 🥲🥹🥲
That's my favorite, too! Sometimes I get single slices of coconut cake, but it's a dangerous item it's so good!
Score on that Raos sauce. I love fig newtons
The fig newtons are really good! I was happy to get that Raos sauce, too.
@CareFreeLivingChannel raos is my husband's favorite but it's so expensive I rarely buy it.
I've seen it at the grocery store and the price is way higher than all the other pasta sauces. It is a pricey item for sure!
I love fig newtons but I have no sense when it comes to eating them. That box would have been my food pantry lunch.
They can be so addictive! I used to eat a whole sleeve of the strawberry ones!
Yummy Fig Newtons I can't afford the price of them
It's a yummy dessert!
yes use a ring light i do for videos i make
Good to know, thanks so much!
The score was the rao's marinara sauce.
It's a great item for sure!
Glad you were blessed this week on your perishables,and meat.
Thank you so much! I am, too, it's been a great haul.
What is your theme song??
