I would love to see you not buy any food for one month. NOTHING. And show us what its like to live off what you have in case of emergency. What money you didn't spend you could double up the followiing month to restock.
Thats actually really smart idea we all stock up what we think we would need but actually doing it would let us know what we are missing
Maybe you could do that
@@khope2580 Oh my goodness, I've tried!! And failed miserably. My hope is in Frugal Fit Mom to show me it's possible.
I don't think she could do it! Those stores call to her, the clearance tags speak to her, the thrill of getting something for less is an endorphin rush!!! Plus, October has 31 whole days! No way could she do it!
Look at 6 figures under, at the beginning of the pandemic, she did this for like 8 weeks. She eventually ordered a few thingsike yeast and peanut butter but for the most part she bought almost nothing
Definitely more pantry and freezer clean outs. It’s inspiring me to do the same. For those pancakes, I would have mixed the two bowls of batter together to make the not so great one taste better.
Me too !
Or add some of the massive amounts of chocolate chis she keeps in stock
Yessss love getting the ideas
There's nothing you can do to make Krusteaz taste better. Trust me on this.
That was exactly what I expected her to do.
Yes, we def need another 1-6-12 months of clean out content from you! You're the best!!!
On board for more pantry challenge meals. I’m wanting to do the same to save money for Christmas and clear room for Thanksgiving leftovers 😋
Did you know 🤓 you can cut celery up and put into baggies and put into the freezer. You never run out. It is awesome never running out. 🥰
For your frozen bananas: peel and break them into a bag BEFORE freezing. They are great in smoothies. And, you can still make banana bread if you want. Less messy too.
I slice mine when they reach the color I like..freeze them..then eat the slices..like eating banana ice cream
Good point....they are great for smoothies.....
She does ALL that. Dave got a HUGE box so that's why she still has them lol. She's so funny.
Oh yes, prep them before! I only made the mistake of prepping them after once. : D
YES!! I didn't peel them before freezing once, NEVER again! Peeling them after was 😩
Definitely begin with the perishables in the fridge. When the pantry is a "mess" (overly filled or not) I often put an emphasis on opened and partial packages or containers with the goal being to reduce the number of containers. In the freezer, sometimes I start with the item(s) that fall out and hit one in the head as the door is opened; newest or oldest, getting hit on the head takes priority. Then I start looking for the ugliest items, the things whose wrapping looks worst and take at least one out of the freezer to thaw. This generally puts a freezer item in the fridge which looks back to clearing the fridge of perishables. Depending upon the freezer stype or where the old items may be lurking, sometimes I work my way to the bottom vertically or to the back on one shelf until I reach a freezer wall; then I do a mini-rearrangement on the hunt for the oldest and ugliest packages or containers.
Stoptober! stopping at home and clearing out the pantry! 🤣😄
I would LOVE to see you spend less than $20 for the whole month of October, only buying ingredients you need to go with meals you've planned from your pantry. Keep clearing it out! I think it would be most satisfying.
Make 3,2,1 banana bread..... 3 mashed bananas, 2 eggs, and 1 box of any flavor cake mix. Mix all, bake in greased loaf pans at 350 til toothpick comes out clean. Easiest and best banana bread ever. I also add nuts and/or chocolate chips. For the corn bread I add drain corn, jalapeños, and cheese
Yes to beans in the chili! I love just adding whatever I need to use up into it! Peel the NANNERS before you freeze 'em! 🍌🍌🍌
Your walking through the grocery store and you get this on sale or you notice that and you buy something. Then all of sudden 2 months go by and you haven't touched whatever. Our freezer in the garage is SOOOOOO helpful with keeping tabs on this stuff. I couldn't cook without it. Every New YEar's Eve; this is what I do. I go through the fridge, freezer, cabinets and anything that's dated a bit----comes out or to the front. That's how I spend my New Year's.
Agreed!! More pantry/freezer clean out videos please!!
Thanks for the motivation! I have just restocked my kitchen freezer with stuff from the deep freezer. Pantry is half used up too! The last month has been pretty successful for us.
Yes! I love to hear your ideas on pantry clean-out.
I love it how you're on a constant mission to clean out your pantry and freezer because you are also on a constant mission to stock up on low cost grocery deals! Lol, the cycle never ends. I'm working on it... today I stocked up on pork for $1.50 a lb and a 10lb bag of chicken for $7.90. I keep getting discouraged about grocery prices going up but if you just focus on the good sales you find and then do your own personal edition of "Chopped" every night it's not so bad.;-) And beans stretch chili in a very awesome cheap way while also tasting delicious so in my book chili always has beans!
Love the cycle! The weeks I say I won't buy anything are the weeks the reduced/clearance sections have great deals!
Haha personal edition of Chopped
Chili with beans✅ Great to hear you're adding recipes on your website woo hoo! BIG YES to continue cleaning out food videos, inspiring to keep all on track
Gonna redoing my grocery list now cause yeah we have enough in pantry & freezer!
Yes beans in chili. Yes pantry/freezer clean out videos. Fall break for us so I’ll be doing pantry clean out this week!
I loved that really big pancake. One of my most favorite books when I was little was Eric Carle's Pancakes Pancakes. I loved the artwork too.
Born and raised in Texas…absolutely no beans!! 🥰🇨🇱🇨🇱
No Beans! Born and raised in Texas also
We did beans!!! We also did chili in Crockpot, so it could cook all day. Second day we had it with cornbread.
We do no beans in chili. I realize my choice is controversial but I make it how we like it. I do every month like it is a pantry clean out and we do pasta once a week and we still have a ton!
These are my favorite videos you make! Cooking/pantry cleanouts!
I finally did it this year!Got all the meat used out of the freezer before we got out NEW beef...lets just say the younguns got tired of beef tounge and liver...and the
dogs enjoyed some ...our neighbors gave us some too and i didnt relize how much was in there...which we never do remember what all is in there
Beans in Chilli!!! And Yes more pantry/freezer clean out videos! I have been doing the same with my pantry and freezer 😃
You seriously have so much food on hand, girl! Saw the recent freezer full of beef, etc, in addition to the full pantry.
Pantry Clean out idea: buy nothing and make due but toward the end assess what you ran out of that you need to stock more of and what you never ran out of and need to buy way less of. For me, I find I need to buy a lot more shelf stable high vitamin fruit and veg options example roasted peppers, pineapple and way less canned tomatoes and pasta anything. My family actually hates pasta - why do I have any? Frozen Banana idea: Banana/ chocolate/peanut butter shake = 2 frozen bananas 2 tablespoons peanut butter 2 table spoons dried milk 2 tablespoons cocoa powder- grew up eating that for breakfast and I crave. You could add some kind of sweetener but I think it’s perfect with the over ripe banana sugar.
Dave sounded absolutely giddy when he talked about breakfast for dinner 😂
Breakfast for dinner is always a favorite when we can't agree on anything else.
Yesss please continue pantry/freezer clean out videosssssss
Hey! It is always a good thing for the cupboards to not seem like there is less. That is Gods provision. I pray and the Lord provides. With prices as high as they are just be glad they don’t seem to go down. Sometimes I go separate some things from the fridge and freezer and pantry to the front and try to use those things first because of how long I have them or try to create a recipe from what I have but I am always glad to see that for some reason there always seems to be at least one more meal or more that I could make. Thank goodness!
Love clean out videos. I love cooking and using up. Planning a trip so saving money is the name of the game. Thank you for the inspiration.
Yes, more pantry clean out! These are among my favourite!
please continue into October! so much inspiration
Yes! I need freezer and cabinet videos! I love the creativity and the goal of it. My freezer needs to be cleaned
Yes please! I love your pantry/freezer clean out videos!
Beans in chilli, YES. You can also make some kind of pasta, put your desired amount in serving bowl, add chilli for chilli -mac.
Clear out the stuff that's nearest it's end date and continue eating fresh. I love how you put everything together and everyone loves it - I try that and everyone goes hungry haha
When my daughter left home I made it my mission to see if I could use up everything in my freezer and pantry etc without going to the shops for anything…I used up everything I didn’t buy anything for 8 weeks it’s amazing how creative you can get. I actual forgot I need need to buy milk during the week. You should try it
Pantry clean outs are so satisfying!
I have learned so much from you about clearance shopping and using up odds and ends in the pantry. Absolutely love your videos. :)
Loved the video! As a side note…you and your husband seem to have very well matched personalities lol I feel like one is always much more quiet than the other but y’all seem very similar and fun!
Yes he is just adorable and funny and so is she. Cute couple indeed
So, here’s a conclusion I’ve come to about September. September is not a great month for a little to spend month and pantry clean out. Especially here in Utah but I even noticed it in Texas. In Utah It’s full of big sales including case lot sales bigs it’s declared “Emergency Preparedness” month. The last 3 years I’ve failed epically try to do a low spend month in September ( March is a particularly bad month too!) so I’m going to focus my efforts in October for sure from now on. The first couple of weeks in November too to make room for Holiday food! But seriously, you’re doing great and obviously using what you’ve bought!
Beans in chili. Always.
Also, we also deep freeze rolls of sausage. Just started instapotting the sausage rolls directly from the freezer.
Yep. In The Package. On a trivet, maybe 20min? Use trivet to remove to cutting board. Use a knife to remove the plastic packaging. It will be thawed or slightly frozen in the center. I have a better chance of nice slices to brown in skillet. Hope that helps.
Love your freezer meals Nothing like breakfast for dinner! Excellent rice and beans guides too! Thanks for the super tips!
YES, continue cleaning out. I’m trying to do the same in October trying to get ready for the holidays.
Absolutely more clean out videos!
Yes more pantry/freezer clean out.....it inspires me to do the same :)
I love all the pantry and freezer clean out videos they are my favorite. Do you have a Playlist of the pantry and freezer clean out videos?
Yes, keep cleaning out the freezer and pantry, it will help motivate me to do mine
It's always a good idea to rotate the closest stock & refill with longer life stock.
Love this typ of contact, eating from the pantry and freezer. I've been trying to but things as cheap as possible but find that I still end kup forgetting things in the back of the cabinet. Found 2 bags of over date food in the cupboard today cleaning it out.
I’m actually obsessed with your pantry clean out videos. You need to keep it going!
yay! excited for the upgraded recipe website!
Yes more pantry and freezer clean outs! ❤
Yes, beans in chili. Dark Red Kidney and Black Beans for us. And YES for continued pantry clean out meals!
Yes I always put beans in my chili!
Any pantry/frig/freezer videos are helpful. Maybe q and a from viewers to learn how lots of people keep theirs. Any ideas would be helpful to perserving and using up food so it doesn't go to waste.
I use grated carrots to cut the acid in tomatoes instead of sugar.
Yes more pantry/freezer clean out ideas. Love these videos as I need the inspiration to do it myself. 😁
Yes my chili always has beans. Thank you for all the fantastic ideas!
We are working through a pantry/freezer cleanout right now as well. Fall always feels right for that!
Definitely beans in chilli!!
I could really do with a pantry clean out, I'll probably do a lot of slow cooker type meals, to make things easy.
Beans for sure! Love these pantry clean out videos
I use the squeeze ginger too, it's so easy and much more convenient!
I'm working of eating out of my freezer and pantry too! My stand up freezer is stuffed e with beef and garden produce!! My basement is full of onions, potatoes, squashes and garlic from a local farmer... My plan is pretty much to do a no spend/grocery month
beans in chili are a must..the more the better...I purposely buy more bananas than I will eat..slice them on parchment paper on a large cookie sheet...freeze and put in snack bags...dump in bowl and let them thaw about 30 seconds...like eating banana ice cream...
Have to thank you for telling us to shop Smith's early in the a.m. to get the deals (it's been a while since you said it, I know, but I started driving across town because of you). I have saved so much money on meat in the past 2 months!!! Thanks for that tip. Have a great week.
YES to more pantry/freezer clean out videos! 😊
Too bad this channel has changed sooo much. Liked it when things were simple and basic, unlike now I feel like I’m always being sold something.
Yes! Definitely!
Yes more pantry meals please! Your creativity in the kitchen is inspiring. And you should do a budget cash only shopping month.
It's always smart to use what you have 1st before going out and spending more
Yes! I’m doing my pantry clean out with you!
Pantry clean out month is actually our favorite because it makes us get creative and we almost always end up with a couple new recipes to carry on the rest of the year. A realistic goal would be to at least use up everything expired (or close to expiring) before you end your challenge 🤷♂️either way I’m super loving it 🥰
I love these clean out videos!
Breakfast for dinner is my family’s all time favorite! We even like it better than for breakfast.
This is so satisfying! Pantry clean out videos are my favorite 🤩
Yes! A no spend pantry clean out for the month of October. I love these videos.
Yes....beans in chili and yes more clean out the over stock videos. TFS ❤️

Yes to beans in chili. And, I didn’t know you could freeze cabbage! Thanks!
You should definatly keep making these videos. I love seeing the recipes you come up with, while using up what you already have.
Yes! Definitely!!
Always always..rotate those pantries and freezers!! But, keep them full!! Food security is important, this is for sure!
Yes please keep cleaning out the freezer I live by myself in my freezer is crazily overstocked
Absolutely. Yes.
Maybe you could give everyone you know a loaf (or two!) of banana bread for Christmas
We've been loving the Korean beef recipe from your website! I just made it again, last night!
Yep I grew up with chili with beans
Great job preparing your meals and snacks! 😃 Your meals always look delicious. I'll check out your cookbook. 👩🍳

Yes!! More pantry cleanout videos. You look great in that green top. Excellent vid as always
Yes, please, more videos like this. Thank you.
Of course beans in chili!! 😋 Oh a little trick, always peel the bananas before freezing. Great video Christine. I am down for more freezer clean out videos in October!!
One of my favorite ways to use up salsa is a Mexican casserole. Use precooked shredded chicken, 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and a jar of salsa. Mix that all together. Sometimes I add a little water if it seems too thick. Crush up some tortilla chips and then pour into a greased 9x13 pan. Top with the chicken mixture and then top with shredded cheese. Bake at 350 until hot and bubbly. Got to watch it so the chips won't burn. For whatever reason some brands do. Serve with sourcream ! It's delicious and a family favorite.
YES ! beans were made for chilli!
I have to say I am LOVING the BTVS clips. When she said "I didn't mean too!" I automatically said "Undo it Undonit!" Hope Inwas thinking if the right episode. Lmao.
"YOU MADE A BEAR!"
Yup, that's the right one, the Thanksgiving episode. We quote that one all the time. ❤
