You both are very motivating! I lost my step dad and brother 7 weeks apart from each other so i completely understand. They were both hoarders and terrible housekeepers so i had my work cut out for me. The waves of grief can be so frustrating. I once lost it at the deli counter of my grocery store because the bologna reminded me so much of my brother. Those poor deli workers! ❤

Be mindful that those expiration dates are on the dry goods that you have in the freezer are meant to follow if you have them on the shelf. They are totally fine in the freezer just do a taste test and look for freezer burn. I can my boiled peanuts. Its really easy and they last a really long time.

We do our big shopping in the beginning of the month so I clean the freezer and reorganize (as needed) before we shop. It’s just me and my SO so we only have the freezer above our refrigerator (same one as yours). I also clean the refrigerator at the same time.

Very easily. For our situation my mother was starved as a child. And she had a fear of not having enough good. Having food in the cabinet , fridge, and freezer was like a security blanket. She however passed away a little over a year ago. So no we are working on decluttering everything.

The expiration dates on things like pecans are if you store them at room temp! You were right that they are still good as you froze them. The only thing you need to watch for is freezer burn 👍🏻

I feel like our Moms were same person. I lived with my Dad for a year after my Mom passed and going through the cabinets and pantries it was so much of same thing. First pass I got rid of expired things. Second pass later I just realized there were lots of things we just would not use. I found people who liked to bake and was able to rehome lots of baking goods, fancy pans. Now I only try to keep one extra of anything to avoid my kids having to deal with it later. Good work! 💐
@rebeccaspencer71818 сағат бұрын
Yeah I can understand that for sure. This is definitely just the first round of decluttering. It's hard enough as it is nit letting emotions keep you from getting rid of things.. I sent a good but of food home with my sister. Some things I knew I would never use. It feels better to give it away and donated it to some rather than through it away.

I love to watch y’all’s videos! I love the banter, so definitely missed that this video with the music. I understand you had to speed up the video tho. I’d watch a much longer video and listen to the banter tho. Instead of tossing the food, post it as a curb alert on a buy nothing group and let people know it’s past dated. I guarantee someone still comes to get it. Lots of people don’t worry about expiration dates. Love the use of Walmart Bags. Very smart. Keep going gals! I’ll be watching and cheering! 🎉

Awww thank you! And thank you for your support! We will definitely add more talking in future videos. Or try to at least. That's actually very smart about the curb alert. First I've ever heard of that. And yes the walmart bags keep the weight of each bag at a more manageable weight to lift.

Time for a eat from your pantry challenge? ❤ It's looking great! Two tips for you going forward: I write the dates with sharpie on all my shelf stable foods when I bring them home and put them away. That way I can see at a glance which one is the oldest. And, I've heard that you should go through and organize a space as many times a year as you access that space in a day. So if you go into your pantry 4 times a day, go through it 4 times a year so it doesn't get out of hand.

Here’s my take away from your video. Don’t buy backups for your backups! 2-3 times a year do a freezer pantry challenge where you take 1 month to eat up all the things that are getting to the expiration date and don’t buy for that month. Put food in pantry where the items with the closest expiration date are at the front.
