[@heiditoon3170]

Hello Sarah. Thank you for showing such a positive attitude and joy. I just subscribed to your channel today after watching several of your videos. After becoming disabled after a stroke I struggle to pay for housing and food and Just the basics. But watching your Channel has helped me see that a small space can be homie and beautiful and provide all we need. And that receiving some help with things such as food can take some stress off. I hope that the holidays are amazing for you, and that the new year brings you health, happiness, and joy. Merry Christmas

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Welcome to the Channel and thank you for subscribing! I'm so happy you are enjoying my videos and find them helpful. The food pantry helps a whole lot to offset the cost of living, it's a blessing to shop there. God Bless You and Merry Christmas! PS - A new video comes out tonight at 7pm Eastern, if you'd like to check it out.

[@blessedmomma6626]

Good evening Sarah. You got some great food. I went to the grocery store today and walked out thinking 'What did I get that cost that much', the price of food is crazy. Have a bless week. God be with you.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Hi Sara! The grocery store pricing is out of control. So many more folks are going to the food pantries and food banks because it helps out so much. I hope you are doing well, and getting excited about Christmas! God Bless You, Sara!

[@blessedmomma6626]

@@CareFreeLivingChannel Been under a lot of stress with prices of everything going up. I'm looking forward to Christmas, I'm fixing soups this year instead of a big meal. I hope your well also.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

I'm sorry to hear that, Sara, I know the cost of living is very high. That's a top reason for lots of folks to shop at the food pantry, to cut down on the expense of food and use their food budget for other things like bills, car repairs and such. I hope life get easier for everyone in the New Year. God Bless You, Sara!

[@dianefields2530]

MERRY CHRISTMAS and a Happy New Year. STAY WELL love ur show God bless us all love from Colorado

[@kellytapley9525]

Love your porch area!!!! Xmas greenery looks so nice!!!!! And love mr turtle's area!!!!💚❤️ Nice of santa to visit hunny Bunny ☺️

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

I'm enjoying the porch, too! It's the first time I've decorated outside my trailer. Thrift store shopping for the garland was a great way to spruce up the outdoors. Mr. Turtle's area is looking good!

[@kellytapley9525]

@CareFreeLivingChannel ❤️💚

[@p.mckenzie2921]

The salads 🥗 always look tasty and the cookies looks delicious and cute. Have blessed holidays.🥰🎅🏼

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you very much! I enjoyed the meals. The danish cookie was yummy. Even Santa was eyeing that one! God Bless You, too.

[@buny3170]

I can't get over how different your place looks. It's like every day you level up. You really do have a good eye for design.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you so much! It feels like a puzzle. I keep working on my home, to pretty it up! I organize, I sort through my stuff, and try to create storage options the best I can!

[@rebekahhansen1112]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

@buny3170 and @rebekahhansen1112 I think y'all are going to enjoy Friday's video. You'll see another part of my home getting improved!

[@rebekahhansen1112]

Really like the garland on your handrails . Enjoying the christmas tree colors & plaid table cloth .

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you! The garland came from the thrift store. I enjoy the Christmas colors, too! The plaid tablecoth also came from thrifting.

[@mandifields2621]

What a simple, peaceful life you live. Merry Christmas 🎄 🎅

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Merry Christmas to you, too! Thank you for watching my video.

[@tobefree_tobeme]

Sarah, ... You have such a beautiful Virginia accent. I always love listening to your words and how you say them, and then comparing them to my Midwest accent. I grew up a good part of my time in Clyde, NC, so you accent takes me back home to those days. 😊

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thanks so much! I enjoy Southern accents, too. And the South in general is a beautiful part of the country!

[@tinaengle8989]

Nice video ! Food looked yummy! ~ Tink

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you, Tink! I enjoyed the meals a lot, too!

[@kit.e6864]

it's a good day when you get usable salad instead of cake at the food pantry 😆

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@Bitbit3427]

I always want to go get some snacks when your man is filming the food pantry haul…. I do believe I could eat a whole cake with his filming 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 great food haul . I love all the salads you get those are great deals. I think Mr. turtle needs an electric blanket for Christmas so he doesn’t catch a cold.😊😂 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄❤️❤️❤️

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

He does a great job filming! I try to get the single serve desserts so I can still enjoy sweets! I found Mr. Turtle's Christmas List. I'm pretty sure he climbed down and put it under the door! He's asked for decorations on his little tree. I'll see what I can do for the little guy!

[@christinefrench7530]

Those streaks look soooo good 😊

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Oh yes, they sure do!

[@GrumpyGrandma2423]

I love shawrma chic. So yummy.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

It was so good, Lois! I don't think I had that meal before, really enjoyed it!

[@dianabeets3840]

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you so much! I'm happy to know that!

[@suehart919]

Great haul! Those sirloin steaks were definitely a find.. And that cookie dessert! Yummy!

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

I'm thrilled with the haul also! So glad to shop at the food pantry, it helps so much. The fancy cookie from Trader Joe's was wonderful!

[@Linda-in9ns]

Hello 👋🏼☃️🎄🎅🏻

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Hello! I hope you enjoyed tonight's video!

[@craftsbeautyandlife5163]

Honey Bunny is feeling clingy. Gonna have to give her extra love❤.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Honey Bunny don't play! She wants attention she just jumps up in my lap!

[@craftsbeautyandlife5163]

@CareFreeLivingChannel I have cats...not as loving as HB. LOL

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Haha!

[@christinefrench7530]

Love that cookie and uour drink

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

It was a great dessert! Very fancy!

[@christinefrench7530]

@CareFreeLivingChannel it looked like it was so yummy 💖

[@emmanesset4265]

Hope your looking into a new fridge. It’s never good when a fridge starts freezing your food. Or maybe you can find a used appliance shop. They sometimes fix them!

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

I'm sure it's about time to replace the mini-fridge! Maybe I'll find a good sale for Christmas!

[@sherrycrutchfield2890]

Santa and Hunny Bunny 😂😂😂.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

These bunnies, they get so jealous! Santa only comes around in the Fall and Winter but the Honey Bunny Crew wants all the attention.

[@christinefrench7530]

Hi honey bunny and friends 💖

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

The Honey Bunny Crew says Howdy!

[@peggyward9592]

I don’t like vegetables either but the way you arrange the salad plates, I would eat every one. Except for the hummus, I can’t tolerate the texture. He may prefer his vegetables raw instead of cooked. I eat canned peas cold because I despise the smell of them when they are hot. Have a great week and see you Friday.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Awww thank you! I enjoy plating up food, especially salads. I try to eat my veggies! Have a wonderful week, too and see you Friday!

[@christinefrench7530]

The salad looks smazing yummy ❤

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you! The salad was great!

[@christinefrench7530]

Great video and look at honey bunny so cute

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Honey Bunny is getting all jealous! Now she wants a tree like Mr. Turtle! Her very own little tree. You would think the tree in the living room would be enough for her, but you know how these bunnies are!

[@christinefrench7530]

@CareFreeLivingChannel well yes maybe a small one for honey bunny ❤️

[@samanthashaw8329]

Hi sarah Hope you figured out what was is making your fridge act up You always make up pretty dishes of with what you get If it the fridge is putting ice in the fridge part or frost freezing stuff you don't want frozen Maybe needs defrost or also a drain line might be stopped up

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

I'm trying to give the food more space so air can circulate. The project continues to investigate what's up with the mini-fridge! Thank you for watching tonight. I do enjoy plating up food!

[@DisabledandPrepping]

Pepper seeds for next year if you save them.😉

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

True! I do save some seeds just in case.

[@DisabledandPrepping]

I have learned with the Kiefer milk. If you wanted to you could make a soft cheese out of it by hanging it and letting some of the moisture drip out of it.😊

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

That's interesting!

[@DisabledandPrepping]

Well, big man, you probably should eat your vegetables. They're good for you and they taste really good. Plus some of us can't get fresh vegetables during the winter.😊

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

I love my vegetables! I gotta get me a stove so I can make some stovetop meals. I think I can get him to eat the veggies depending how I cook it!

[@sheilacirioni4676]

Hello Sarah..all those salads look good..yummy!! We just had a Trader Joe's open in the town next to us& gonna check it out tomorrow..hopefully not to crowded,I have never been to one& am excited to see one. Are you doing anything for Christmas? Do you get dinners given to you at pantry?😮 Well see you on Friday. Give Mr Turtle& friends a pat& hug for me..🤗✨💖☃️❄🎅🎄🛷🌴

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you! The salads were good! Trader Joe's is a fun store (at least that's how I remember it from years ago). They used to give tiny cups of coffee samples in the store. Me and Big Man will be spending Christmas together. I don't know if the food pantry will have any special meals to offer, but I'll find out! I'm still going to have a Food Pantry Haul video for Christmas Eve next week! The Honey Bunny Crew and Mr. Turtle say Hello. See you on Friday!

Yummy pie

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

It was so tasty!

[@DisabledandPrepping]

Oh, I love cheesecake.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

I'm glad it was a small slice because that could be addictive!

[@couponsearch7]

Some food pantries treat people like Gods children. Others want your ID, social security card, proof of income and you have to tell them how you came to come in. Suppose Jesus told his disciples to ask for ID when he fed the five thousand. You know so Simon could take the event off Jesus taxes.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Oh I hear ya! My food pantry has an application process, too. To continue using it, I have to re-apply and re-qualify for the services. I've heard some food pantries are open to the public without applications. Seems each one is ran different!
