I use lentils to make shepherd's pie, chili, burrito bowls, and meatloaf. I typically use it to stretch ground beef. At your foodbank are you able to pick and choose what you want? I live in a really small township, and while we do have a foodbank, patrons have to register with their family info. Then the staff will fill bags for each family based on need, and the patrons come to pick it up on Wednesday each week. I think this is a good system for my community, but I know the bigger city foodbanks are set up more like a grocery store.

Hey Christina! Those are great ideas for lentils! It's more like a grocery store system. I'll admit this month they didn't seem to have as much to choose from as they usually do, but still thankful none the less. I think the system your explaining sounds practical for those working in the food bank!

I remember when Covid was a big thing and we were in lockdown and I thought of the people who relied on the food bank for food. I knew that close to our library we had a little community free food pantry. I would walk up a few times a week and leave food there lots were ready to make and eat like Chef Boyardee and soups that didn’t need water added to them. I also made bags full of toiletries as well because we had so many toothbrushes and toothpaste and even dental floss as well. I remember there were other things in there as well someone had made bags up of feminine items, there were snack bags as well with granola bars and other snacks.

Great food bank haul! I think the items mentioned out of date are not too far expired. I would still use them. I love that Canadians use bags fir milk. It would be much easier to dispose of than a jug...lol. I love all your videos. Have a blessed day friend ❤️

Hey Christy! Yes, the chips anyways were fine lol. I've heard a lot of people say best before date is more for the stores anyways and some people believe it is a way for stores to make more money! I would totally believe it lol!!! Usually expired items are fine. I only shot away the over a year old one! 🙈 Yes, I think the bags are for environmental purposes. It is so much easier for sure! Have a blessed day and week sweet friend!! 🩷

I love that raspberry lemonade, it’s my favorite brand. My kids like those dunkaroos too, especially my daughter! I send those as snacks sometimes too. I think the mint cookies are probably just fine if you eat them now, they’re probably mostly sugar anyways. Great haul as always! 😊

It kinda sucks that you have to explain yourself with these kinds of videos and that there are people who would comment negative things but you handle it like a champ! I always like seeing these videos from you!

Some people are judgemental assholes that like to point out other people's flaws while overlooking their own. I just ignore them. I love going to food pantries. Mostly all of my food comes from there.

Sad but true!! Hey you gotta do what you gotta do. I've never understood why anyone would be mad at me for getting extra food for my kids. They eat most of it anyways as it's usually school snacks and things like that lol @joshuakaeble7810
