My daughter went to the food bank yesterday. Due to multiple medical conditions she has to eat low sugar, high fiber, and low cholesterol. With her disability check going to pay the copayments that are not covered by SSD she has had to turn to the food pantry/bank. No shame. We have some high end organic and specialty grocery stores a block from our pantry that donate. She went and even got a frozen gallon bag of pasta fagioli soup donated by Olive Garden. (They had a large number of these so the restaurant must have donated them because of the used by date that was on them). Her groceries would easily have cost $400. if purchased at these stores. I will be batch cooking for her so she can easily thaw and reheat these meals.

As someone who lives in the UK I find it disgusting that people have to turn to food banks because they have illnesses they have to pay for. Last year they found a tumour on my right kidney, up to now I've had two Cat scans one MRI scan and a camera, at the end of the month I'm having another MRI scan and have seen my Consultant a lot of times. I'm on a low income and thank the Lord every day for the NHS. Hope your daughter gets well soon. Xx

My daughter and myself both have the genetic gene that makes cilantro tastes like soap. We have to read the ingredient lists on things so we do not get a very unpleasant surprise. LOL!

Great haul that Brisket is a huge blessing! I went to aldi the other day and they had chicken thighs 50% off stickers i got 12 pounds of chicken thighs for $15. I was so excited! You shopping at aldi has made me start going to aldi and I am amazed at how much I have saved at aldi. Thank you for all you do take care and stay safe!

I love red stickers, I was blessed 1 day in particular... I saw the girl bring out the stickers and waited nicely behind her as she stuck them on chicken, sausage ground turkey and steak . Then we went over to the breads . I had been praying for a meat sale and then that happened.

Nice!! Lucky You 😊

Great food haul! Have a wonderful weekend!

Beef brisket -- cut it into 5-6 lb portions & then you have uncorned beef brisket, just in time for St Patrick's day!! See videos on how to cut up primal wholesale cuts into retail portions!!

Pop back into oven tell cheese melted well then set to cool then take butcher knife and cut and enjoy for game day.

I cook up and fix mashed potatoes and freeze them in oil sprayed muffin pan.And then freeze in a freezer bag.

Oh that brisket is amazing!! You got a lot of nice things again. I went to my discount store yesterday and filmed my haul I just need to get it posted. My health is better finally and I can get back to making content again. I got a few amazing deals myself.

I would love to see you make salmon patties. I have 6 big cans of salmon and no idea how to use it. Thank you for sharing your haul. Is a lot nicer than what we have in my small town. Made me jealous for lots of items you got :). My family has been eating pantry meals and because i have only had around 10-30 dollars for the last 6 months for food. I would love to learn how to do salmon patties. It would help me to use those cans of salmon up. ty

Drain salmon & save if needed more moisture when mixing with even parts flour & cornmeal. Add diced onion. Not necessary to take bone out cause it’s rich in vitamins. Use spoon to form into a patty & drop into hot grease. Cook each side til brown & put on paper towel to drain. Enjoy!

Great Haul, we love Brisket 🥰

We don't care for sparkling water but I do take Propel anytime I can get it. I got 12 of the large bottles of propel grape flavor yesterday also got a 5pd bag of reese's peanut butter chips

the liquid death online depending, sell online the ones i bought are listed as a great drink for ELDERLY,MY 18 PACK was 30.00 they are good to me to stave off temptation soda s and t much coffee. I like those

I love Liquid Death because of the cans for recycling and reduce plastic waste but only their still water (yes it's plain water in a can) and the plain/unflavored sparkling. All the flavored ones taste nasty to me 🤢 I hope you like them! 😅

VERY GOOD SISTER CHAD AND DEBBIE FROM MARYLAND.

IF there is a way to cut the brisket up into smaller portions, the slow cooker would be an option. I've done it with a packet of onion soup and a can of cranberry sauce several times (you can add or switch out flavorings of course, but this is a general guide). It's a family favorite. Just a thought. =)

You have a bunch of extra jars, you could start 3 1/2 cups every day so you’d have 12 cups a day after a week or so, the sprouts don’t really need light the first couple days, or maybe feed them to them a day or two earlier?

I didn't know cilantro was genetic. I always said it taste like soap. Everyone said l was nuts. Thank you.

cant you can the beef raw, in a pressure canner... liquid death is yum and it comes in just a plain non sparkling water too

Its sparkling water.

We have time for those long stories. Tell them. We are all interested and love home repairs.

Don’t mean to scare anyone, but there’s something with applesauce squeezy pouches and lead. It was the cinnamon in it but I don’t know what brand or region or when. But if you have given your kids any of that kind they recommend getting them checked for lead. There won’t be any symptoms so please look into it.

That Death drink stuff I just googled and it says don't be afraid, it's just water and iced tea...lol

Liquid death is great!

If you know someone with a band saw, you can cut the brisket in pieces from frozen

I don’t smoke meats but you might start it the night before because it’s so huge.

Liquid death is a water brand, i think they started with still water. Cops have thought drivers had alcohol before... lol

Don't know if you have it in the USA, but in Australia we have a thing called Ice Magic. It's basically just kind of a choc sauce which you pour on ice cream and it sets as a hard shell. To make it at home it's basically a cup of choc chips melted with about a tablespoon of coconut oil. It can be kept in a jar in fridge or bench. Just drizzle it over ice cream and it will set hard! Was always a treat as kids. It will set in the cooler weather and melt in the heat, just give it a shake and it's good to go!! I'm sure the pb chips will work too!! Also the mango/coriander thing is a genetic condition!! It's been scientifically proven 😊 Could you make bacon egg rolls with the rolls? They can be frozen and just microwaved to reheated for breakfasts

I looked up the liquid death, it is supposed to kill your thirst. It is still water, not bubbly, that comes from the apps

Have you tried to Dry Roasted Walnuts, mixed a bag of walnuts with oil, on a sheet pan with salt. Add hot sauce . In oven 350 and for 8 mins

The liquid death drinks is made in Europe and available in my local coop in the UK. I have also started on insulin on Tuesday and it’s been crazy. It’s probably from the crohns - which is undiagnosed. I’m thinking type 1 rather than 2. Back in July, I was weighed and found out I had lost like 60 pounds / 4 and a half stone which is crazy.

This pantry does have some sections that are for larger families that have larger items. Like #10 cans of beans or the giant bags of cereal. The goal is to prevent any food from going to waste. Generally the meats are not separate. But ocassionally they get a bigger item like this or a whole turkey that they hold back for a bit for a larger family knowing it will be more likely to get fully used.
