Great food pantry haul…..love the salad❤❤❤❤ Mr Turtle and friends are looking good.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Mr. Turtle says Hello! It got to freezing last night and warmed up today. So he's been enjoying the sunshine! The salad was super good, glad to get it!

[@Linda-in9ns]

Your videos are so comforting! lol 🩷🌞🙏

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you find comfort in my videos, that's so nice to know!

When space isn’t an issue in the refrigerator, putting the strawberries or other fruits in a glass jar in the refrigerator keeps them twice as long. For Christmas, I would put several jars of water in the basket and collect either pine or cedar short branches to make your home smell like Christmas. You can have the smell without the mess. The food plates were beautiful.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

I like your strawberry storage suggestion using glass jars! It would be nice to make my trailer smell like Christmas with the branches. That would look nice in the basket! I love to put a pretty plate together!

[@juanitataylor6947]

Good idea on the basket selection items

[@bonniethiessen5506]

Great food haul ❤ I would fill the basket with ornaments and put it under the Christmas tree 🎄

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you! I like that idea to make the basket into a "Christmas basket". It would be pretty under the tree!

[@Iheart2cook]

The Pacha products are sold at Whole Foods and they’re pricey. I’m guessing that salt cube sells for $7-$8!! Great haul sweet friend. God bless 🙏🏼❤️

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Oh wow that is pricey! Thank you so much for watching my food pantry haul this week. God Bless You, too!

[@NattyHomeMaker]

Great HAUL this week. The salad looks Delicious ❤

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you! The salad was so much fun to make!

[@teresakryvenchuk6205]

Great video❤...Your plates of food look like a picture from a food magazine. I have a basket full of pine cones. 🧺 🏡 🌲 🎄 God bless you and your man and all here and families and don't forget to thank the good Lord for food and everything ❤ ❤ ❤ ✝️ 🙏

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Yes, thank God for all of these provisions! Thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoy seeing the meals I share. I like your suggestion of adding pine cones to the basket. I think there's an area I can go collect some cones. I will have to take you along with me on an outing soon! God Bless You, too!

[@judygriffing1276]

Hi Sarah! It’s been awhile for me to visit…sorry for the absence. Nice video and great haul! Hope you’re keeping well.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Hi Judy! I'm glad you could make it! I'm doing well and hope you are, too. It was a really fun haul. Thank you for watching, Judy!

[@juanitataylor6947]

Loveland refreshing looking

[@bg12445]

Bring Mr turtle in for the winter and place him in the basket.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

I bet Mr. Turtle would love that!

[@stephanieinglett8569]

I knew that cup was Fire King before you even said it. I love Fire King and I have been collecting it for decades. Another great video.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you for watching! I love the Fire King cup design, it's a good size for a cup of coffee. Reminds me of being a kid and getting the percolater setup for the next day!

[@youngnurse9994]

Wow ! That is an awesome food pantry that you are blessed to go to . ❤ Looks just like a supermarket. And I love your living quarters ! So neat , clean and everything in it's own place . Your voice is so sweet and soothing. 😊 May God continue to bless and keep you in Jesus name. Tell Mr 🐢 I said hello . 🤗 🙏😇✝️

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Mr. Turtle says Hello! Thank you for your kind words! When I moved here, I ate a lot of instant oatmeal and grits! With the food pantry's assistance, I get an assortment of vegetables and am so grateful for it. I love my little trailer and still sorting through my belongings to make my space work better for me. I'm looking forward to decorate for Christmas. God Bless You and have a wonderful day!

[@susieramick7202]

Your salad plates are awesome. You sure eat the rainbow nutrition to the max😊 I like pinecones scented or plain in baskets. Craft stores have them but my Goodwill had a huge box of the bags of cinnamon scent. Michaels and Hobby Lobby were $5. Goodwill $5!! What??

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

You bring up a good point about Goodwill pricing! When it's the same prices as retail stores for the same product, seems it ought to be less! I would like to collect some pinecones for the basket, that would be pretty. Eating salads help me reach my health goals, especially this time of year!

[@juanitataylor6947]

Mr turtle's looking great with that pumpkin

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Mr. Turtle says Hello!

[@kristinaNC]

Oooooo...those flanken ribs are definitely a score! I love them, but they are always expensive for what you get...even on sale. Enjoy those!

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

I was so glad to get those! They are in the freezer but I'll be cooking them up soon. Have a great night!

[@BeckyCreger-vs5ce]

I would decorate that basket with some Christmas garland and put some Christmas bulbs in it.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Good idea to make it a "Christmas basket", that sounds pretty!

[@SylviaHarper-p2u]

You have a real talent for plating food!

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you so much for saying so! I love to put together a pretty plate!

[@loritanner4478]

That oat milk creamer from silk. I love the oatmeal cookie flavor one for my coffee. Most df creamers take so much to even turn your coffee to look like you put creamer in it. Then it waters it down. But the oat milk one from silk is thicker. So it doesn't take so much. I'm going to have to try that chocolate peppermint flavor one for the Christmas season.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

I really like the Peppermint creamer! I think it's a specialty item just for the Holiday season! It's thick and creamy. It reminds me of whipping cream! Perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I hope you enjoy it, too!

[@Crystal4Christ4Eva]

Hi Sarah hope you had a great day. Your couch looks so comfy cozy

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you very much! My daybed sofa couch is all set for Fall!

[@christinefrench7530]

Yummy salad with strawberries yum❤

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

The strawberries were a great addition to the salad!

[@juanitataylor6947]

That salt sounds refreshing with the eucalyptus

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

It does sound good!

[@craftsbeautyandlife5163]

What a great pantry haul. Mom missed her pantry box this month. She fell and broke her femur in 2 places and we have been at the hospital in another state for a week. Shew.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

I hope your Mother is in good hands and heals very quickly. God Bless You both! Thank you for watching tonight.

[@craftsbeautyandlife5163]

@@CareFreeLivingChannel I look forward to your videos. You are such a sweet and genuine person 💛.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@buny3170]

I love your editing, it's just as creative as your plates.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Awww thank you! The edits are time-intensive. I'm so happy you enjoy what I do!

[@blessedmomma6626]

Good evening Sarah, hope you are doing well. Another wonderful pantry haul and all the meals looked great. I hope you have a great week. God bless.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you, Sara! I'm glad to put together so many yummy meals. Have a wonderful week, too, Sara and God Bless You!

[@BeckyCreger-vs5ce]

Hello Mr. Bunny and friends. Hi Mr. Turtle 🐢

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Mr. Turtle says Hello! The Honey Bunny Crew is playing under the Christmas Tree!

[@sharonhart3735]

Sarah everything looks wonderful.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed my video!

[@GrumpyGrandma2423]

I knew when you showed cheeses in fridge case you was getting the cheese tray lol

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Hi Lois! Yes, you know it. I love a cheese tray especially if it's got the Marcona Almonds!

[@heather-cs]

Hi Sarah! I’m getting to catch up on my KZbin’s. You have so many great videos as always. I can’t wait to see your Christmas decorations! Have a lovely evening!

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

I've got to add the lights to the Christmas Tree and soon! That will be a lot of fun! Thank you for watching my food pantry haul, it was a good one for me. Have a wonderful night, too!

[@eloisecalliham1491]

You dress the plate so nice

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you very much! I enjoy making pretty plates of food!

[@deborahdornon160]

I really like your videos and meal preps such good ideas you give us.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you so much! I'm happy you enjoy seeing the meals I make!

[@sheilacirioni4676]

Hello Sarah!! A nice little haul today.Use it for Christmas/ like Stuffed animal,bear,Christmas greens. Mr Turtle probably needs a coat.😮 You should take us thrifting with you sometime,would be fun!!Are you decorating,or did you? Have a great week.✨🦃🛷🎄🎅🌴

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

I like your suggestion to fill the basket with Christmas items! Yes, Mr. Turtle must be winterized! The Christmas Tree decorating will be happening soon! For right now, it's still green but the lights will be added in no time. Thank you for letting me know you'd like to go thrifting. Have a wonderful week, too!

[@Maggie8108]

Great video! I wonder if using white vinegar in the laundry might help get that smell out the new shirt.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you! I'm going to try it and see if it works! I gotta get the smell out.

[@little_threads_of_grace]

Hi Sarah! I'm so glad I caught your video tonight, I missed out on commenting on the last food pantry video. That cobb salad looked so good! The cheese tray does too! If they weren't so expensive I'd buy one in the store. The dark chocolate peppermint creamer is probably amazing! Your meal creations always look so good too, you are an artist when it comes to plating! I think the salt soak is like a bath bomb, maybe for a nice warm bath. I hope you have an amazing week and God bless

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you so much! I love to put plates of food together, it's a lot of fun to make my plate pretty! The cheese trays are fun to try and always makes mealtime feel extra fancy! I really like the Silk oat creamer. It does not seem too sugary. I'm excited to try the salt soak, fun item to get to try! Have yourself a wonderful week, too, and God Bless You!

[@christinefrench7530]

All the meals look so good ❤

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you very much! I've had a fun time putting the meals together!

[@tinaengle8989]

Great video! I have a vicks epsom salt I add to bath when I stuffy but you only need like a table spoon! ~ Tink

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you, Tink! I don't think I've tried Vicks epsom salts before. Thank you for letting me know. Have a wonderful evening, Tink!

[@christinefrench7530]

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Mr. Turtle says Hello!

[@christinefrench7530]

Hi honey bunny and friends ❤

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Honey Bunny and Friends are hiding under the Christmas Tree playing hide and go seek!

[@DisabledandPrepping]

Oh, that food pantry day salad looks so good. I am definitely craving some fresh vegetables and fruit right now. And there are none to be found here at my place.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

The salad was great! I hope you get some of the veggies and fruits you'd like!

[@rosalitamarie8836]

Wonderful haul. I smile when you get your Marcona Almonds. 🥰

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you! The marcona almonds are really good. They are yummy! I'm glad I got them!

[@christinefrench7530]

@CareFreeLivingChannel Thank you! I never miss your Videos.❤️🙂

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Awww thank you for letting me know that!

[@patriciagleason3034]

You have so much fun.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

I enjoy making the meals and using the items I get from the food pantry to put it together! It's a lot to be grateful for!

[@FrancesLetner]

Salad looks delicious 😊

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you! That was a great salad, loved it!

[@Ms.LisaDawn]

Goodness!! Great choices! 💖💕💖

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you! It was a great haul, so glad to get what I got!

[@BarryRosen-io6jh]

Can't wait until my next trip ❤ all those goodies 😊

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Food pantry shopping is absolutely a trip to look forward to! I hope you get many wonderful items!

[@terrysimpson6761]

Always great to see what you get. Do you make a donation or pay a certain amount or is it free to lower income earners?

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you for watching! The food pantry requires an application to apply for the service. It's free to those that qualify and it's income-based.

[@Janice-h1v]

Great video. I like sweet and sour sauce with my salmon. I wish I could find a food pantry in my area that’s not income based. After my husband’s stroke and with everything going up it’s definitely not easy. Jan

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you, Jan, for watching! Please make sure to contact Social Services to see if there is any program that you may qualify for. And your local churches may offer a church food pantry option. God Bless You and your husband!

[@Mollycat-mg6jq]

you guys in the states get great food oantry hauls i live in wpg canada we get nothing like that i wish for fresh stuff

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you for watching my video! I'm glad to get so many wonderful items. Fresh food is a blessing!

[@janmateranek1756]

Believe me none of of the rest of us in other states get anything like that. We get a box once a month never anything fresh I’ve never received any kind of produce. Nothing compared to what she gets. We do not have any food pantries in our town. It’s once a month, their choice.

[@Mollycat-mg6jq]

@ yup once month here also nothing fresh

[@craftsbeautyandlife5163]

You need to rename your channel to plate artist ❤😂

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

That's so sweet, thank you very much!

[@kathybromley8084]

I would get some of those cinnamon pine cones that are everywhere this time of year and fill up the basket

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Neat idea, thank you for your suggestion! I may be able to go pine cone collecting in my area, maybe I'll find some big ones!

[@paulageller1740]

Don’t put the flanken in the air Fryer. It needs to be braised or put in a soup. Otherwise, it’ll be terribly tough. My mom always used it in Split pea. soup.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

I see! Thank you for letting me know. Looks like I will need to make a crock-pot meal!

[@craftsbeautyandlife5163]

Hey to Mr. Turtle and Honey Bunny and friends. We need to name them. ❤

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Mr. Turtle says Hello! The Bunny Crew has been playing around the Christmas Tree. PS - I'll have to think on your suggestion about names!

[@craftsbeautyandlife5163]

@CareFreeLivingChannel can't wait to see all your Christmas decorations. I haven't drug mine out yet. Still enjoying my fall ones.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

I'm excited to decorate and hope to get that going real soon so I can enjoy it for as long as possible!

[@craftsbeautyandlife5163]

Say cheese please. Yum

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Love the cheese and fruit tray!

[@craftsbeautyandlife5163]

I never met a cheese i didn't like.​@CareFreeLivingChannel

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Cheese is yummy. I especially like goat cheeses!

[@juanitataylor6947]

Are those style of almonds or hard or soft

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

The marcona almonds are soft!

[@jebone2]

Why why do you start with all the sweets?

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you for watching my video!

[@craftsbeautyandlife5163]
