Happy anniversary Miranda! I agree that flowers are one of the easiest, least expensive self-care gift you can give yourself (especially from TJ's!). Pretty combo you chose this week! We're heading out on vacation later this week so we are eating our way through the fridge AND freezer to keep food waste & costs down. I do a deep fridge clean quarterly. Like this video, *everything* comes out and gets cleaned. Every week, I clean out the fridge. I empty out the refrigerator drawers (I have 3: meat, produce & cheese.....yes....cheese gets it's own drawer, lol). I dump what's looking past its prime but the more often I do it, the less often I have to toss stuff. I also empty the shelves of any dinner leftovers that didn't get eaten. A lot of those freeze really well so I have lunch for the next week. And I wipe all the shelves and drawers down so it just feel good, everytime I open the door. Great video. As always, wishing you all the very best!

Yes agreed! Cleaning/tidying the fridge is a great way to keep food waste low because it happens days get busy things get pushed back and we don’t always look at dates! Plus a good refresh of it keeps things smelling and looking nice

Hi Miranda! If you want your succulents to last please don’t water them daily, you will drown them! Succulents are made to go for long times without water! If you just give them a small bit of water every week once/twice at the most, they will thrive! Best of luck! Succulents are the only thing I don’t kill! 😊

I love the baked tofu idea. Where we live in the UK the general population around is not really into tofu so we regularly get it reduced. Last week, it was reduced f (for 280g) from £2.20 ($2.80) to £0.30p ($0.38). We bought 20 packets! We waited as long as we could as we didn't want to do anyone else out of a bargain and tried to persuade people that is extremely versatile but we just got strange looks! In the end, the shop owner said that they just don't sell and would be thrown away. Such a waste.

I'm sure the comments are gonna say this a 100 times but don't water your succulents but once a week. They will get moldy and die. Buuuut Vegas is perfect to dry em out so they will love you if you set them outside to dry out a bit and get sun. They mainly need sun. If they don't do great on the counter no worries. Put them in a big pot at your front door and they will love it outside. You can water them more often if they are outside ❤

Oh my goodness what a busy fun weekend! Have a great time!!

I love watching people go shopping but it's not necessary to make a great haul video and I'm more grateful for the respect you show people by not filming when the store is busy. I used to have a really bad phobia of having my picture taken. I would be terrified in public places that someone would snap a pic or make a video and I'd be in it. It wasn't an "I don't think I look good in pictures" thing. I was really very sick. And though my phobia is probably very rare I know loads of people who are uncomfortable with having their pictures taken and/or being posted on the internet somehow. I don't mean people shouldn't take pictures and videos and live their lives but it's always a good thing to be mindful of your surroundings. When I post stuff on my instagram and facebook I always make sure to blur faces of people who has accidentally been caught on my pic. It just makes me feel better I guess because I remember how hard it was for me when I was ill. Those sunflowers and the cacti were so pretty! =)

im actually really glad you said this because i get comments often like "take us shopping with you!" and I "feel bad" because I see others do it--- so I feel like i'm not a good vlogger per say but I think of all the people in a public place who don't want to be in the background sure it happens when you might be taking a photo or video in a more publicly known atmosphere like mount rushmore that you might end up in the background of someones photo but what if you're just running to the store to grab something real quick!? I know for me I don't want to end up on a random youtube video that could be seen by thousands so I try to be really respectful and if I get shots its of product or a quick overview and when a place is super busy to me its not the time or place!

Oh I grew up in the Midwest and it took me years to find out the difference between cantaloupe and a musk melon. Muskmelons have more water in them and are sweeter Their rind is always a darker green color.

The method grapefruit is one of my fav scents too, but I stick with mostly unscented things bc I’m sensitive 🤦🏻‍♀️ But that scent is good memory for me. 2 of my sister in laws use it, so it reminds me of them. I would not be happy being allergic to cantaloupe, but I do love honeydew, so it might be ok lol Does it bother him eating a piece of watermelon that has touched it? And nut allergies are weird. I’m not allergic to peanuts, but have a sensitivity to them. If I eat too many peanuts or too much peanut butter it upsets my stomach. But a I can have it in small amounts. I just make my own sunflower seed butter now. Less expensive and super yummy! And in summer, we love lots of salads and just a ton of fresh veg/fruit bc it’s too hot for cooked food lol Right now we’re eating a the watermelon! Justin get his discount, so it’s a steal. And in August we’re going to a watermelon festival! This place is supposed to have the best 🍉 in the state! I’m excited.
