    Let’s support frugal mommy and daddy! Watch the ads on their videos, or at least the ads run while you go do something. Like, comment and subscribe. We all seem ok with supporting corporate America with our dollars in one way or another. Let’s support this channel with a little of our time

    My last Aldi dumpster haul I got organic baby carrots, tons of garlic and roma tomatoes, and a box of generic lemon lime sodas and a case of watermelon La Croix sparkling water!!!! Also got a loaf of their dupe of Dave’s Awesome seed bread, and a box of clematis flower bulbs! I’m going to plant them somewhere where they can climb!

      Aldi always has good stuff in their dumpster. I love hearing what other people find. Last week I found a birch tree sapling sitting outside the dumpster! I’m planning on planting it next week. I also found some petunias, 13 pounds of frozen ground turkey!! Some bagels, cauliflower, avocados, cake, onions.

    We often froze fruit during the heat of the harvest season then made jam et al in the cool of the fall. When freezer space has been at a premium and depending upon its final use, we've pureed the raw fruit in blender or food processor before freezing. Putting the baggies in a dish to make nice flat squares (rectangles) or circles (discs) allows for compact stacking. Or, make chubs in something like an old school margarine container then bag; I use glass Pyrex bowls then stuff chubs doen bread bags with 2 layers of waxed paper I between each chub. When you get volumes of fruits destined for smoothies, pureeing it before freezing would save freezer space.

    to your answer about preppers. I am a person who makes 600 a month hubby makes 1,000 I have to get extra can goods and other items to be able to eat before prices go up. Do I have a lot of money, no can I afford the meat now? no I am one of the few who are just trying to get a little extra of what I can. I used to dumpster dive until all the stores went and got those locked containers that crush everything. I guess it keeps the homeless away. Our home is paid off I will get my social security in July which will double my income and I grow a garden. we are blessed and happy and don't ask for anything from anyone.

      Elsa Cisneros: I live in a 2-bedroom condo and am also really cramped for storage. I don't even have enough room in my kitchen to store my larger soup pots and frying pans, and have to keep them on a baker's rack in my hall. Obviously there is no massive pantry with a year's supply of giant canisters of freeze-dried food, beef jerky, etc. But I do have stuff like canned goods and bottled water that I have put away in various places throughout my place along with ordinary staples like flour, sugar, and dried beans and grains that I have vacuum packed with my Foodsaver. It's all regular food we like to eat. We use up food and then replace it. Also keep extra paper supplies (toilet paper, Kleenex, etc.) I always keep spare food and supplies just in case of earthquakes (I'm in Southern California) or if there's another pandemic lockdown or serious problem. Most of my stored food is from Aldi and Walmart.

    So fm. If you have a dehydrator, use pintest to learn how to dehydrate some potatoes and carrots. If not. You can use your oven at a low tempeture. Then you can vacuum seal them all. You can put cereal and chips and stuff in a mason jar and vacuum seal it closed. It will keep it from going stale longer. I have done that and it last a year past its date without going stale

    • @debgordon6542
      @debgordon6542 Před 2 lety +2

      Yes, typically. There are some that look down on ppl leaving with leftovers. Years ago it started out being called "doggie bags", imo that gave taking home food a bad stigma. (Eye rolls from the the staff and neighboring customers) More recently, it's become acceptable. I always leave with a "take home bag"!!

    Raw onions - - did he have to sleep on the couch that night? I shop at a Grocery Outlet store. Lots of things close to expiration. I recently got Dose & Co Vanilla collagen protein powder 14.8 oz - $1.97. Lairds Organic Peruvian coffee with functional mushrooms - $1.47 for a pound and a half bag. I stocked up on both of these by the cases. Beef is marked way down on the last day.

    What a haul! Sweet onions are great on sandwiches, especially hamburger..yum yum. My mother would cut a reasonably thick slice and put it on there along with frugal Daddy's cheese slices. Very tasty. She would also use them with braunsweiger ( I hope I spelled that right can't remember right now). In the peanut protein bars breakfast bars I love those they are good and it's a good idea to have that to fall back on. 👍❤️😀👋, I know lots of times you get a bunch of berries various assortments have you ever thought of making your own wine?

    My garden is planted, I can hunt and fish, forage the forest for food. I've, over the months, stocked up on essentials. I'm not worried about food shortages. My freezers still have veggies from last year. My brother in law raises cattle so meat is good. We filled gas containers before prices skyrocketed. I've got a box of MRE's gave to us, if needed but I highly doubt it. I'm planting a lot of sunflowers today. I was raised on a farm. Awesome haul Frugal Daddy!! Stay safe and lots of love ❤️

    If you don't have a food dehydrator - keep your eye open for a food dehydrator curb side or else. The late 1970's types work but the current dream machine is the 6 tray Excalibur and its temperature control with digital display. Even new, there are lesser costing and also different systems that would be worth saving for given that your dumpster dives often produce enough volume of the same product to fill a full dehydrator. At least for now, the trade off in electricity would still give you a savings over purchasing the produce you pull from the dumpster. Dehydrated foods take up less room than regular canned foods and aren't as dependent upon electricity as frozen foods.

      Great tip, thank you! Can’t you make your own beef jerky in a dehydrator too?

      @@cecilyerker Yes both jerky and dried teriyaki. These were popular uses of dehydrator in the early-mid 1980's. My guess is you'll find reference to them in the Stocking it Up book, edition 1 or edition 2.

      @@cecilyerker What a lot of the prepper types are doing is buying the 12-16 ounce, bags of frozen diced and small sized veggies on sale, or today's prices, then dehydrating them for condensed storage. Of course veggies in a less dense (thick) size with more surface area dry out or dehydrate quicker than big and thick pieces. I'm hearing talk of having to blanch veggies before dehydrating them. This may be true for some but I've never blanched veggies before dehydrating them. This said I've only dehydrated thinly sliced carrots, diced onions, celery leaves and herbs, less watery tomatoes (it only took once for beef stakes to seek less watery tomatoes), chives and scallion/ bu ching onion leaves, and thinner slices of chopped celery. I did thin sliced potatoes once and decided that for the most part I could buy fresh with less work and effort. I haven't researched which or why one would want to blanch before dehydrating.

    When I was younger I used to eat Lemons, the best ones I ever had were straight off the tree on the Greek Island of Crete. Great haul but I remain astounded by the amount of what I would term junk food available in the US. No wonder there is an obesity and diabetes crisis. For people in poor areas or on a fixed income, the junk foods are the ones at the lowest price are the only things affordable. Here in the UK we have food banks (it is free) and also Social Services will deliver a weekly free box of produce to low income families.

    If any refrigerated stuff sat out all day before night and only got cold as temp dropped ,.its already compromised ..id be scared to eat ..even if smells ok ..dont mean bacteria hasnt set in already .id be very careful..you cant cook at high heat all bacteria out of foods unfotunately ...i understand being broke ..but id only grab foods that are canned ,boxed .but with temps changing ..you are taking big risks with other foods ..you cant be sure how long sitting out before you got there ..if frozen ..it would be recently thrown out ..any thing froze would never thaw out during day and refreeze up ..by night ..so only frozen or non refrig foods would i trust ....

    I pretty much boil all questionable meat and, this includes the full price purchases sitting in the back or trunk when caught in an unexpected traffic jam on a hot day. I am much quicker to boil chicken and ground meats.
