Every time I see the beginning of your video, it reminds me of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Awww thank you! I love that tv show. That's back when kids could really be kids!

Castor oil- fixes what is wrong. Anti- inflammatory, antioxidants, constipation, pain killer, etc. God bless!

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

It sounds like a miracle cure! Thanks for the info and God Bless You, too!

[@MoneySavingMama777]

Nice Food bank haul. You receive some really good quality items.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you for watching! I'm glad to shop at the food pantry. Love getting the fruits and veggies especially.

[@juanitataylor6947]

Take care of the food and and enjoy you enjoy it and you appreciate it you can tell it in your voice

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

The food is such a great help! Love the salads, especially. Have a great day!

[@rickyclark4870]

I only wish our food pantry was so nice. I'm glad it's there for you.. It's so hard on everyone out there right now. People with more money alway's telling people to stop complaining it's worse everywhere else if I were there I'm sure I'd be worried too. There are people in every country who aren't as fortunate as other's until you've walked a day in someone else's shoe's don't tell them not to complain. You're not feeding them or their family. Thank God there are people who donate God bless em. Thank you so much for sharing. Great haul. I'm sure you will be it to good use. Bless you and your family. Stay safe and well. ❤️🌹🇺🇸🙏

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

The food pantry is a blessing! I notice more folks are using the food pantry for the extra support. I enjoy sharing my food pantry hauls and how I put together meals from it. I like to encourage folks who may qualify but have not yet applied. The cost of living has increased greatly. I eat better because of my food pantry. Have a wonderful day and God Bless You, too!

Hey Mr Turtle….great food haul and your bag of food ! Can’t wait to go to my food pantry ❤❤❤❤

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

I hope your food pantry provides you some wonderful options to choose from! Mr. Turtle says Hello!

[@RLC506]

Hi Sarah! Nice food haul as always. Just a gentle suggestion. A lot of food items are on the FDA recall list. So, since you are bringing home some expired foods, l would go to the appropriate website and check weekly recalls. "Adventures with Danno" has a video daily as well, and he stays on top of recalls, high grocery prices, and food shortages at the grocery stores which really doesn't apply to you except with your organic black pepper, ha, ha. Also, l am not a fan or promoter or spokesperson for Facebook, (l cut ties with FB years ago), but if you are an active member, Marketplace seems to be a good forum to buy used and inexpensive items such as refrigerators, kitchen appliances, and all sorts of household items. You would need a friend to go with you for safety precautions to check out anything you might find as a possibility. God Bless!

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you for your suggestion! It's a smart idea to stay on top of the recall list. I do need to get some black pepper! I can't run out of that. FB Marketplace is a good option like you mentioned. I'm working on a few projects to make my home a bit better. Little by little it comes together like a puzzle. God Bless You, too, and have a great night!

[@FrugalPants]

Honest Company was started by the actress Jessica Alba when she had babies. Its a baby/child line that has natural diapers, wash, lotion, hand sanitizer etc. Bot sure if she still owns it, it is now sold at Target.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

That's good information, thank you so much! Sometimes what I do is I will try the new product on my hands to test for any reactions and so far the items I get at the food pantry have been really great. I haven't been in Target in years, at least since the Pandemic. I'm a little out of touch on current products these days!

[@CAJST-dh3oo]

This is a really nice food oantry haul. Did everyone receive the extra bag of groceries in the brown bag? I thought Hondy Bunny wasn't going to make a debut but here she came out 😊😊😊 Enjoy your week! 🌼

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Yes! The extra bag of food was available to all shoppers. I'm happy to get those walnuts! Honey Bunny's been trying to get outside but she's an inside bunny ha!

[@Iheart2cook]

What a nice food pantry you have. Such a blessing. I’ve heard castor oil is good for growing eyelashes. Pour it into an old clean mascara container and apply at bedtime. God bless 🙏🏼❤️

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you for this info on castor oil! God Bless You, too!

[@kayepperson189]

Best food pantry I’ve ever seen, even has shopping carts.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

It's wonderful to shop at the food pantry! Their little carts are so cute!

[@susieramick7202]

Good video, Sarah. I would save your pizza crust. You could even collect them in a baggie in fridge or freezer. Reheat and use them as base for your cheese bread or dunk in soup. Or whatever creative bites you create. Love salads copied a few of your mixes and they were great. Have a great week. Beautiful weather here.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

That's a neat idea for the pizza crust! I'm glad you tried the salads and enjoyed them. Have a great day!

[@robyncolless6016]

Great haul 😊

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you! It's a blessing!

[@FoxyOxymoron]

TRY the brie on the toast with an apple and melt the brie on top of the bread with the apples and top with toasted walnuts. It's quite tasty. Or you can do some type of jam and the cheese and walnuts on bread.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

That's an interesting idea, adding an apple, thank you for your suggestion! The "fancy" cheeses are just different to me because they are different than what I'm used to, but I love trying them. I especially like soft goat cheese.

[@FoxyOxymoron]

Hey Sarah, your haul looks great as always. And those beans look interesting. Please report back when you try them. I'm sure they are still fine.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you! Sometimes I'm not able to read the best by dates on items because the print is so small. I use the magnifier on my phone to help me!

[@barbarawesterman6807]

Hi Sarah Love your food pantry haul. The food looks delicious. I always drool at the cheese tray so yummy. Have a great week. Hi Mr Turtle🐢 Barbara from Perth🐨🦜🌻🌷⚘️

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Hi Barbara! Mr. Turtle says hello! I love the cheese trays, too, they're good. We had a few hot days this week, but the temperature has dropped to become more comfortable. Best part of Spring for me is hearing the birds! Have a great day, Barbara!

[@barbarawesterman6807]

Hi Sarah. Yes I love the birds too. Alot of ours are flying north for the winter months as its warmer in the north of Australia. We are going into winter but you would'nt know it as its still 27 degrees Celsius in the daytime. Im really looking forward to cooler days and being able to get out in the garden again. Have a fabulous week. I have a Aussi Mr Turtle he says Good day🇦🇺

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Good Day to Mr. Aussi Turtle!

[@donnabradshaw5200]

One thing that works for me is, I purchased 20 lock-n -lock, 1 1/2 cup serving freezer containers. I cook a good deal of food, devide it into the containers . Label, date, and freeze. Great for stacking, then whatever you want to eat it's already done.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

That's a great idea! I've been thinking of re-working my kitchen setup to add a chest freezer. I would love to do what you're doing and cook up a storm!

[@sharonmalmarowski1050]

You are so sweet and thankful.enjoy your videos and your place is so cute.

[@liznunya8013]

Thanks for another great food pantry haul.That fruit looked incredible and the cheese tray as always.Fruit is so expensive I bet that was a lot.Next time I’d love to see you cook up a meal with your steak or burgers!

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you! The fruits are wonderful to get. I love the cheese trays! I'll try to get some cooking done in future videos. Thanks for watching tonight!

Love your haul you make the food look so pretty God bless you Hun 🙏❤️

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you very much! I really enjoy putting together pretty plates of food. I hope your day is wonderful and God Bless You, too!

What a huge fruit bowl again! I’d be happy for that and the cheese tray. Good thing you get fruit and veg like you do….great pantry haul!💚❤️🩷💙🧡🦋🦋🦋

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Shopping at the food pantry is always a surprise to see what's available. It's great to get my favorite items like fruits and cheese! Thanks for watching tonight!

As always the cheese tray is so great! Love the berries, they looked so good! Enjoy your videos, Sarah, they are so relaxing!

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

I'm so happy to hear it, thank you very much! The cheese tray has been great. The marcona almonds and figs are terrific.

[@Holistichealer630]

Excellent haul many delicious looking fruits and veggies. ❤. Maybe taste the English cucumber with the skin on next time. Its totally different than a regular one. No waxy film its tasty and has alot of nutritional value. Just a suggestion 😊😊. Be blessed 🙏🏽😇.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Good idea, thank you for your suggestion! It's fun to get to try all of the different foods, vegetables and fruits. Have a great night!

[@qq1651]

Wow! You got a lot of great food (better than usual even) this week! Those STEAKS!! Yum!

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

I can't believe the food pantry has steaks, it's a real blessing and I'm so happy for it! Thank you for watching my video!

[@qq1651]

@@CareFreeLivingChannel I think they have steaks because people cant afford to buy them at the grocery store.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Oh that makes sense! Meat is so high these days.

Castor oil is great for many things that will help you fill in your eyebrows growing your lashes soften your skin get rid of calluses. You definitely need to research it. There is so much that it’s good for.

Also helps with constipation

Thank you, Tink! The berry bowl has been great, so glad to get it. I love fresh fruits and veggies. Have a wonderful night, Tink!

[@BarryRosen-io6jh]

I would've taken alot more apples and made applesauce then make candied walnuts with those 2 bags 😊 .

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Oh that sounds good! Candied walnuts gets me in the mindset for Fall and Winter, can't wait for the seasonal changes in a few more months!

[@devotacianci5489]

I use organic castor oil (exact same brand in the video) for topical painkiller, topical moisturizer and topical for dry eyes and hair growth on eyebrows. 😊

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

That’s great info, thank you! I’m going to try it as a moisturizer and see how it works for me. Seems like a great product!

[@PalmTreeGirl-vm1xe]

Castor oil is a wonder working Miracle oil. Great for your skin, bug bites, blemishes, boo boos....just about anything that is wrong. You can even take a spoonful a day for great care of your innards. It really is an awesome oil and so so good for you.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Good to know! Thank you for this info. Sounds like the castor oil was a great find!

[@debofwmi2214]

[@judygriffing1276]

Hi Sarah! Good to see you! 😀 Great pantry scores…really liked the berry bowl and how you’re able to use it in so many ways. (Original price was outrageous) The cucumber/strawberry plate looked so refreshing. Was the sauce you put on the chicken hot? And look at you-almost 5,000 subs! Yay! 🥳 See you in the next video.

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Hi Judy! Yes, the berry bowl was so nice and yeah that price sure was high. I enjoyed the cucumbers and strawberries, very yummy! The sauce for the chicken did have a little heat, but not too much. It's so exciting to be nearing 5,000 subscribers, it's hard to believe! Have a great night, Judy!

[@annevans5547]

[@janicegermain5522]

There's some delicious food in your pantry haul. The one I use doesn't come close, but I'm still thankful. We don't get half loaves of bread, but I wish we did... I can't use a whole loaf either and I hate wasting food. I love sourdough bread and with the rosemary, it sounds delicious. The way you put it all together for plating makes your food look so appetizing. I rub a bit of caster oil around my eyes at night (and on my elbows), it seems a bit greasy going on, but not for long (I guess it just gets absorbed). It really helps to soften and helps with fine lines... Thank you for another great video!

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

Thank you very much! I enjoy plating up food. The food pantry is a blessing to get to try so many good foods! Thank you for letting me know about the caster oil. I'll have to give it a try!

My kids and I really love those treats from Trader Joe’s, our favorite ones are the Brookie bites is a mixture brownie and cookie in one

[@CareFreeLivingChannel]

I don't think I've tried that kind, but it sounds yummy. Trader Joe's items are really nice. I've been working on the Peppermint Tea by them and it's pretty good, too!

[@purplypink2993]

Yes, Trader Joe’s items are cheaper than people thought! They have mostly ready to eat frozen foods which I’m not a fan of! So we barely go there but when we do I get that! Really soft and yummy! And I always enjoy your food pantry hails!
