I raised 4 kids, buying a home and car below poverty level with no government assistance. I stretched dollars all over the place. My girls were 2 years apart and my boys only 1 year apart. I always bought new clothes for them so they were fine to hand down. No second hand stores for 100 miles anyway. Over the years of course things and income changed but thats how they changed!
I'd love to talk to you.
How responsible you were. NOT looking for “handouts”. Taking responsibility for yourself and your children.
Well done!
@@maryviti6799 military dad. He retired a vet at 37. Moved us off grid here from Charleston South Carolina. I was 15 and mad! We had been in one spot for 5 years. The draftees now needed jobs so everyone they could retire out, they did. Anyway, 4 years of that in the late 70s without any of off grid solar etc...they have now.
You should be very proud of what you were able to achieve with no govt assistance. Wish more people thought like you.😊
I love how you're unapologetic about being you. Keep it up!
I dug up daffodils out of a friends hay pasture. They were going to get mowed and bailed anyway. :) I love free plants.
My nephew had no money in college so he worked evenings at a steak house and kept a to go bag with him where he stashed food items left on the trays when he was cleaning up tables. When he got it home, he'd reheat anything others had eaten off but often items were totally untouched. He never got sick and actually felt like he was healthier than he would have been otherwise because he wasn't skipping meals.
You know, @Prepper Princess, that when folks go broke I hope they flash on the "cringe-worthy things you do" to survive. Your points may be an inspiring wake-up call. I have the utmost respect for your frugal habits.
Keep in mind that younger folks want to 'gag me with a spoon" and cringe at what I do at age 72 and what my parents and grandparents did out of self-preservation habit helped them stand me to survive. It may come in handy some day sooner than not.
You are just up my alley here.. I started a garden from scratch, after building my house. At my brothers summerhouse there is a lot of oak trees. Where I live, we do not have oak, I wanted oak, but didn´t want to spend a fortune on it, so I went for a walk with my dogs, brought a bag and a shovel and dug up a little tree. It has not grown much, as it doesnt like my elevation and hard climate, but every summer it is still producing green leaves, so hopefully it will make it. 💕 Most of my other planting is free, or next to nothing. Got cuttings for free, and saved seeds from other gardens, now I save seeds from my own garden from year to year.
Hey my husband bought a $17k car in 2009 and had it paid off in 2 yrs just using the money he collected returning bottles and cans. Granted we lived in NYC where redeemable bottles & cans were plentiful.
I’m a rural country girl. I can’t even imagine this crossing the line. We do this all the time.
No. Line. Crossed. Just plant cultivating and helping to encourage more greenery in the world 😊
The majority of trees/bushes in my 83 yr old grandmas yard she foraged and replanted in her yard. You see what sticks and what doesn’t. Her birch and pine trees have lasted the longest at around 50 years or so. She has tried with some other bushes but they didn’t get enough sunlight. She once saved a lilac bush from the dump and now like 30 years later still exists and is a huge beautiful bush, of which I have also taken shoots from and replanted around my place. I have done this with native plants, even on our property, and shuffled them around to use for landscaping. I do this with plum tree saplings and raspberry shoots. Propagate mint. Strawberries, and other perennials. I want there to be abundance of food if i need it. Some of my plants are technically edible but but don’t produce fruit because I don’t water them enough, and just act as landscape. But if need be I could actually fertilize and water them to bear fruit if it was really necessary. Ask friends for clippings or just see what grows on the side of the road. So much fun!
Absolutely no lines crossed. Years ago when I waited with other moms for our softball player girls to practice, one of the mothers would go into the woods and get thick vines to make wreaths from. Some had the audacity to roll their eyes at her, while I was simply amazed at her craftiness, use of available resources and time. Those are the people that I admire the most- people who are good stewards of whatever they have.
Her way of knitting. I love it
No need for an apology on this end. Love your excisions! Keep being ‘weird’!
Thank you for your videos and sharing common sense in this crazy spoiled brat society. You rock!
I don't flush every time when it's "yellow". I live alone.
I use water from my shower-I don't shower alone-I have buckets with me. lol
Our parks generally have rules against taking anything away from them but if there aren’t rules against it I believe it’s a great idea to save.
I wouldn't do what you did with the burger, but it reminds me of writer Frank McCourt (writer of Angela's Ashes). He grew up in extreme poverty in Ireland so he knew what hunger was. Once a student in his class dropped his lunch sandwich on the floor and threw it away. McCourt went in and got it out of the trash can and and ate it. He then explained to his class what it was like to grow up in extreme poverty and eat anything you could find just to stay alive.
I do love your style Princess..people will need to implement your skills to survive a depression imo.
Stay safe
Dear Princess, I have went deep in the free scraps of wood at Home Depot. Last year, I had a dislocated shoulder, still wearing a sling. But when I was that beautiful free lumber, I swooped up every single piece there. Then gave it all to my neighbour who was making a Tiki Hut bar in her back yard out of pallets. She was so grateful. Women helping women! I am currently looking for free boards to make raised beds for veg gardening and that neighbour will help me bang them together... I believe recipocity, bartering, and helping neighbours enriches our frugal lifestyle.
I agree. I mowed my neighbors lawn and she has given me pretty much a lifetime supply of free lemons from her trees
I enjoy watching your videos, your honesty and how resourceful you are. Don’t change a thing. You can’t please everyone and if they don’t like it then move they can move on. You are the best prepper I’ve seen that doesn’t completely freak us out with total doom. You give ways to help yourself in an uncertain economy. 👍
Frugal, is maximizing what you have.
Cheap, is cutting corners unethically.
Efficient, is conserving to save money.
I think you are Frugcient....a mix between frugal and efficient!
Exactly! Thank you for saying that.
Vinegar, great disinfectant. My DIL buys every type of cleanser. I use dawn and vinegar; for wood, damp cloth of water only.
Oh cringeworthy! You go preppy princess! I sold my blood once. I had to load my boots with change to make the 110lb weight requirement. Lol
lol I wish I had that problem!
Foraging is a great skill , knowing what you can eat out in the wild is very beneficial
Thank you for all the information and tips to save. Everything has gotten so expensive, we all need to learn of ways to save.
Love Rocky and Nala. 💕
Oh my God this was a great video you have me making so many comments I'm sorry. But I am good at a garden but you're at the mercy of weather. Things in my garden get destroyed when there's too much rain to little rain and I grow what can grow in Arizona. But I spent a fortune over the past couple of years buying dirt and all the different products that you should mix into the dirt to make it a good healthy dirt for gardening. Yes once purchased if you keep it fertilized or make your own compost the dirt will be good forever. But to Garden is an initial investment and so if you know how to forge that would really be fantastic for frugal living
When i buy paper towels, i tear off half sheets, stack them up about 10 high, and cut them in half. This way im only using a quarter of the paper towel and not a whole half sheet. By doing this paper towels last me twice as long. I realized when i use a half sheet, i never really use the whole thing especially when eating. I usually cut up 2-3 rolls this way and just stack the mini napkins in a cabinet in the kitchen. Its the perfect size napkin that i just fold in half then use it. One roll of paper towels cut up to a quarter the size can last me at minimum 3-4 months.
Nah, girl, you live very smart. More people should follow your example.
I garden also, but I seem to be better at growing for seeds than food (lol) so I harvest the weeds when available. Keep it up so I can learn more, please.
No lines crossed in my opinion! Your burger story made me laugh, as I once did nearly the same thing. We were having dinner at a local pizza place, and there was a family who left before we did, and they left most of a pizza on the table. This place makes fantastic pizza - so guess who snagged the leftovers before the table could be cleared. I felt a little weird about it, but when I had pizza the next day for lunch - it was worth it!
I have save a lot of money by your videos .I will continue to watch.keep up the good work.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Taking someone's half eaten food, washing with shampoo, frugal in every way, and loves dogs. I ❤ Prepper Princess.
How I have saved money over the years, accepting a whole box of sample head and shoulders shampoo from my doctor, then putting those sample bottles into a regular size head and shoulders bottle for my kids to use, I didn't buy shampoo for my two boys for 2 years that way, to stretch out kids jeans with almost worn out knees I used iron on patches on the inside of the jeans before there was a hole, the jeans lasted to be passed down to my younger boy.
Accept any and all kids clothing for my youngest and keep my oldest clothes, I hardly bought new clothes for my youngest from birth to age 12, when my youngest was a preschooler I even passed down my oldest underwear and socks that were in still good shape, my youngest never knew.
I buy anything at a thrift store except for bras underwear and socks. When we need more towels, wash cloths, tea towels, thrift store is where I go, when you get home wash in hot setting and Detergent and your good to go for a fraction of the price,
I have watered down fabuloso and put in individual spray bottles I keep under the sink in kitchen and bathrooms, , gotta be lavender scent.
I use Kirkland brand Detergent for laundry and use just half the suggested amount to wash.
I keep everything till its dead dying and done. 28 year old oven why not, 16 year old fridge we are good, appliances do not have to be pretty as long as they work.
I decorate my home with vintage thrift items, my kitchen now has a 1970s theme, what inspired it my mom gave me her 1970 Cafe curtains for my window.
I keep clothes for ages, my oldest sweater I love is from 1998, bought it at a Columbia outlet, still love it.
I also accept free tops from my mom she doesn't want, hey saves me money.
My motto is NO shame in my El Cheapo game. I also go to thrift stores to buy birthday, anniversary, Xmas cards for 25 cents, why not lol
So Prepper Princess you are not the only one lol.....
You haven't crossed any lines as far as I am concerned, but have taught me so much! You probably saved my life, healthwise, just by sharing tips. Please keep it up!
No, Go for it. It's public property. All over town, there was some abandoned lots that nature took over. My mom used to send me forage & got mint, spearmint, Basil, chive in that lot. The other lot was parsley & oregano. In park I found elderberry for tea's for fever other plants for upset stomach. I just make sure that I get from a spot that dogs& other animals don't use it as a
Foraging has never..!! been crossing the line. I’ve been doing it for all my life.
Mesquite trees are invasive and they use more groundwater to grow BUT they grow fast into a shaded umbrella for sun protection and do have the beans. The beans are slow to grind because they’re tough but they are good and gluten-free (I have celiac). And my gosh, a mesquite with a little attention given in the growth phase is a gorgeous tree. They can be trained and shaped.
Lady I love what you're doing, I'm trying so hard to adopt some of these things u do. I'm afro American, and always spending too much especially when I get depressed. Love the channel
For me, eating a stranger’s food is not something I would do. But scavenging for berries and plants does not cross the line.
When I was really broke I would go to yard sales and buy the sanitary pads if someone had them cheap. They were in sealed package
Good for you I would pick the berry bush also! I live in Florida and trying to find locations of wild berries that I can forage .
The things that you do to save money are not crossing the line. You always look healthy and clean. I can tell you have a big heart by the way you take care of your pups. What you do only concerns you and it's no one else's business. Keep doing what you're doing! 😀
Folks may say what you do is “Cringe” but I bet they are jealous that they don’t have the $ you have!!!!
Nah, foraging for live edible garden plants doesn't cross a line in my book.
The only line you crossed was the winning line!
Lol. I took an entire steak off of someone's table and brought it home to make multiple meals for my German Shepherd. Cut it into chunks, put it into a pot with spinach, sweet potatoes, frozen blueberries, and steel cut oats and cooked it slowly, 1/2 cup poured over her dry food gave her a nice boost to her nutrition and a bit of a treat for her.
I forage for wild strawberries, dandelion greens, and Plantain leaves (found in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Ohio). Also I forage cattails to make flour, use the stems in salads, and between the leaves is an aloe like gel that works great for burns and skin irritation. I've sourced raspberry canes in parks that the staff was ripping up as well! My neighbor has a cherry tree that she hates, I pick cherries every year, my other neighbor has a mulberry tree and I do the same. There is a WEALTH of food out there if you know where to look.
I’m jealous about the cherries
I love to go on the back roads here in Virginia to pick blackberries
Amen!!!!
I wish I knew how to do what you do. But due to physical limitations and where I live there is nowhere to look for those things. I see nothing wrong at all with what you did ,I would do the same if I could! Thanks for the info you give. 😊
Great 👍 tips to save money 💰
Liked the walk with Rocky 🐕
Love how you pick up firewood 🪵 What was the leaf 🍃 plant that you picked ?? Was that a elephant ear plant ???
Can’t wait to see the kitchen and new floor renovations
Cheers 🥂
Have a good week 👍👍👍👍Australia 🇦🇺🦘👍👍👍👍👍
Most of my cringe-worthy money saving is my refusing to throw away clothing or shoes. And things like cutting my own hair. My net worth is now past $1M and I am retired early -- not easy to do when you never made any big money during your life.
Why is refusing to throw away clothes and shoes cringe and cutting your own hair?
Not cringy, my husband and I keep our clothes till there is holes, if a top gets too worn to wear and no holes, voila a sleep shirt for me. Mynhusband shaves his own head to save money.
Why not
91% Rubbing Alcohol is a good disinfectant.
You have the right idea. If your immune system never has to fight off bacteria, you can't build immunity. I am in KY and we harvest starts of every thing from the wild. Keep up the good work.
You are not over the line. I have foraged plants as well. I also talk to my dog just like you do! I love that!
What is disgusting to me is the fact that people waste so much food.
My parents supported a family of seven, four of us kids and my grandma. My dad when I was young was a cop and my mom was a police matron ( not sure what they’re called now - officer?). Wages weren’t great, I thought nothing of washing my hair in the sink with Tide powder detergent mixed in a cup with water, clear through high school. My little brother gave my mom a yard of fabric for Christmas one year because “Mama loves material”. The reality was that Mom had to make our clothes. Three of us were girls. I’m on the sunny side of eighty now, my husband passed away five years ago. I’m on social security. I’m needing some auto repairs, some work on the house..so I’m really pinching pennies to save enough for those things. Frugal is the way to go. I’m not suffering, nor is my dog, cat or bird. I admit I have very few clothes, and I’ve had them for years. People would be amazed. I wear jeans my fifty seven year old son wore in high school. I have no one to please but myself, I see nothing wrong with transplanting a tree or bush or flower as long as it isn’t taken from someone else. And good food should never be wasted.
Good dish soap is the best for washing almost anything. If it is good enough to wash your dishes and kills food and saliva germs why wouldn't it disinfect your counters and anything else?
Watered down dish soap can even clean your shower and floors.
Watered down dish soap cleans your house siding and keeps the green stuff from growing back.
I love my dawn for this.
The whole reason I subscribe is to see how you do things to be as successful you are. I haven't been disappointed yet. While I wouldn't do some of the things you do, I am motivated to do better with how I live. Thank you.
Taking plants from the outdoor is how I got all of my plants. I live in Florida, everything grows everywhere. Spending money at Home Depot or whatever is just plain silly. Love your woofers!
We don't need to disinfect everything, we need to keep things clean. If we do away with every microbe our immune system
won't develop.
In the mid 1970s I briefly lived with hippies in New Mexico while visiting my cousin. This video reminded me of that for some reason. Do whatever makes you happy is my opinion.
I use the ball for laundry you suggested. Works great. 1 month I use 1 tablespoon of detergent
Germaphobes that sterilize their house are always sick with something lol
Not true. I have OCD. I'm 53 had it my whole life. I take multiple showers a day bleach everything and touch nothing like money or pay phones. I'm never sick. No covid no flu no colds. Most I've had in years is a ear infection.
I'd take the hamburger. I despise food waste. If people saw how their food was handled in many restaurant kitchens they would probably be grossed out anyway. 😂
I have picked up free items from leftovers of yardsales left at the side of the road. I water down liquid soaps, shampoos, dishwashing liquid etc. I rinse out spaghetti, salsa jars and other things in jars.
I always check free tables, curbside offerings for items. Most of my furniture is cast-offs from friends, free from the curb , thriftstore items. However, I do draw a line I will not eat out of a dumpster, eat after others or feed my cats out of a dumpster or trash. I know folks do it but this is just my choice.
In our last home the neighbour had Raspberry bushes and Nanking cherry trees. We let them grow through the fence to our side. When we moved we brought some of the new shoots from the raspberries and seeds from the Nanking cherries. Waiting for this spring to plant them. Also in our new backyard, there are grape hyacinth growing like weeds in the grass. In the spring I'm going to dig them up to put in the front garden (they spread a lot). We saved pumpkin seeds from our jack-o-lanterns too. I love kitchen scraps to grow as well. Seeds from bell peppers. Cut the roots off of green onions and replant them. I have onions and potatoes sprouting in my bin that will get put in the garden next summer. Last summer all of our potato plants were from the grocery store potatoes that sprouted in the cupboard.
I've always considered myself frugal, but you have inspired me to be even better. I also now water down my shampoo and Dawn, please give me more tips as I want to cross the line with you!
I was in Costco just the other day and I saw people with shopping carts full of TP and water bottles. And I thought, "Those are two things Prepper Princess never buys!"
I buy TP but have a bidet. So I don’t need to buy much TP. I have a 24 pack that will last me a couple years.
In my city, we have an organization that picks fruit in peoples backyards. Volunteers pick the fruit, a third goes to the homeowner, a third goes to shelters and soup kitchens, and a third is shared by the pickers. I’ve picked cherries, grapes and apples. My take, which is about a tenth of the pick, is anywhere between 20 and 75 pounds, these are small city backyards. I canned 12 quarts of apple butter. I’ve also foraged grapes and raspberries on walks.
I LOVE this idea!❣️
What a lovely idea
Basic cheap Vinegar is a great cleaner and great for removing mold etc.
You're fine! I don't see any crossed lines there. When our (6) kids were young, we lived down the road from a fairly well-to-do family and they had a sort of sink hole at the back of their property where they would just discard things. The highlight of my kids' lives was going to the "junk pile" and retrieving good stuff. They got a couple of perfectly good, crocheted afghans, even a purse with some money in it! Ever since, we call it "the Junk pile mentality" - exactly what you are doing. I garden, preserve food, cook from scratch, forage, make bread, and pinch pennies. It's fun! What nice doggies.
You gotta try vinegar, water and a little dawn for windows it's better than windex. Cost like 13 cents. Here is the recipe.
Window cleaner
2 cups of water
-¼ cup of white vinegar
-½ teaspoon of dish soap (Dawn)
Oooh trying this. Thanks.
That is what I already use.
I have dug up many plants. You can always find homes that are going to be torn down and the landscape will be destroyed. I pick up twigs and pine cones for fire starters. It's called being resourceful.
If you have baby shampoo and a dish soap ( dawn etc) you have baby shampoo, adult shampoo, handwash, body wash, dish soap, handwash , wash machine detergent, household cleaner.
Thank you for being you and putting out great ways that you take care of yourself and reminders that you don’t need to spend a ton of money to appreciate life. I appreciate your content and enjoy all of your videos.
I just wanted to say thank you for sharing positive messages. You’re special. I hope you have a great year! 😊
Ok, that’s funny. Hey, you do you.
As far as foraging and getting free plants… you should totally do it if you can .
The person who left the burger may have been cleaner and healthier than the people who cooked the burger. Or not. I would have been extra careful and cut off any part with bite marks. But if the rest of it was untouched, it's no different than paying for a new burger. The nasty things happen in the kitchen, once it gets to a table, it's probably not going to get much worse.
Vinegar or alcohol can replace bleach 99.99% of the time. Vinegar is safest to use if you have animals. Vinegar, Dawn, Baking Soda, Epsom Salts are my go to cleaning products because of allergies and animals.
I used to live in Washington state and we picked wild berries daily for consumption and canning. We also picked apples and peaches and cherries for canning, pies, freezing and just healthy eating. I think you did a really great by planting your own plants. We lived by a field that was accessible to us. Good on you!
I am a japanese woman living in tokyo. I respect you🎉
Definitely not cringe..it's being resourceful and intentional. Love it.
your puppies are so sweet - Rocky is so focused
Here's my things.
1. Make own cleaning stuff
2. Measure everything I use to clean, mop bucket, work out how many litres it holds and measure cleaning stuff accordingly.
3. Collect scrap metal on my ebike and cash it in.
As long as that area doesn't prohibit firewood gathering or plant collecting, it's not crossing a line.
My son used to eat food the patients didn't touch from the food trays at the hospital. He said only from trays that were untouched.
My downfall is being super picky about food.
That doesn't mean I need expensive food tho.
It means I prefer to cook my own food.
I guess I got that going for me.
My favorite recipe is from the Great depression.
Potato soup with unsweetened cornbread.
5 lb peeled potatoes cut into big 2 inch chunks, 1 white onion sliced into rings, all covered with water plus 2 inches of water above vegetables. After they are tender I add a cup of heavy whipping cream, and 1/2 stick salted butter. People from Appalachia had access to cows so butter and cream were easier to get. City folks were not so lucky. Anywho, Add salt and pepper to taste. Add chopped green onions, bacon bits, shredded cheese if desired, but I take it plain. I can eat a whole pot of it, til it's gone.
I'm big on soup and I think it's a money saver!😊
If you’re 50 make sure you get your shingles shot I just came down with the shingles and it’s the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life
I know that i had shingles 5 years ago. Worst pain i ever had i had some pain in my life time.. age 64,,i since got shots for shingles i had a seriesnof 2 shots..
Great video! No line crossed. Love your videos Prepper princess. Was it Rocky that was pulling during the walk? Lol
I always take all edible berries I come across. Been doing that for 35+ years and won't stop. We have to s of Mesquite in Texas: collect, dry, use for smoking and bbq. I have volunteered to clean up dinners at churches, weddings etc and have taken tons of food with me. Dire times show what you're made off! And I'm still around and kicking. You do You and what works for You is perfect! Love from Texas
I remember the burger!. You are laughing all the way to the bank!
The restaurant scavenging was a bit tacky for me.. It's not like you are starving. I'd give it to someone who needed it. Free plants from nature is a sweet deal though!
It's going to waste. Better for the environment.
There are wild blackberry bushes and mulberry trees along the nature trail near our home. We take buckets and harvest them. We've seen others doing the same thing.
I’m going to go back in the spring with my buckets to make jam, assuming they don’t bring in the goats first
Getting plants and seeds from the wild is fine i’ve done it before. You just have to make sure you’re legally allowed to do it rules can differ from one Location to the next.
Nah, no line crossed. We don't pay for things that can be had for free either.
That's some really good points! Not extreme in ky books, I think it's good advice. I remember when I was little, at camp there were berry bushes and we would pick them and have them just as a snack. Never got sick. Now as an adult, thinking now I probably should have rinsed them in water but no harm done that I know of. I hope your plants turn out lovely in the front yard :-)
School custodians use ammonia and water to clean windows and walls. The ammonia is well diluted. They use vinegar to polish glass and floors. Everything they use has to be safe to use around kids.
A bottle of ammonia goes a long way.
I have admired you since I found your channel several years ago. I actually put into practice a lot of the things you have shared. You absolutely are great. I love that your just yourself, no presence at all.
Homeless people, their abandoned encampments, are rich and ripe with wealth for the taking. I've made $40. off steel, aluminum, copper salvage metals found there in just a day....and about $5.00 in coinage metal detecting the site. I found lots of good 26" bike tires, lawn mower parts and generator parts i sold on E-Bay.
When we were little Mom use to take us out to the country to look for black berries, muscadines & plums. They were so good and so fun to find and pick free food. I did not know you could just buy them at the grocery store until I was older. I have to say the nature grown ones were the best!
Eating after someone else? Yeah… crossed a line there; the berry plants? Absolutely not.
My grandfather used to take us wild blackberry picking near the River bottoms of The Mississippi River.
On the burger 🍔 story. If you don't have a problem with it. I know if it came down to it and we had not food we would not think twice about eating it, we would fight for it!
exactly Norma. Most people in America have never experienced real hunger.
I love picking up discarded plants on trash day in my neighborhood in Florida. The only thing I buy is potting soil!
That's flat out illegal to do in Australia. The plants and the sticks, all illegal. Either it's privately owned area (trespassing) or a nature reserve which is illegal to disrupt / remove from the natural environment.
My girl.... Hell yeah I do this 💯 although the birds have left a wide berry bush that has been growing around my yard for 5 years now with huge thorns but no berries :( .. I thought for sure I would have some by now but nope. Keep up the adventures of saving money, hell I did this with a rose bush one time too when I visited a rose garden and found a broken piece my goodness she is beautiful now. But my kids and hubby used to have a heart attack lol, now their used to it.
OMG! I work at (sometimes two gas stations, same franchise...yeah the young kids call out, and don't want to work) a gas station/convince store that also has a car wash. I collect the cans like a crazy lady....everywhere! I have a whole system...not to waste anything. You would be shocked at what people throw away at the car wash. I'll sell items on different platforms. I want for nothing (eventually I find it in the trash at the car wash)....LOL. Even expired freshly thrown away snacks and "food" at the gas station. ( I'm fussy about the food.) I always check the mark downs at the supermarkets, etc. Many times my dog eats like a King. Your channel is so awesome! I spend next to nothing every day.
I found a $15 Panera Bread gift card in the garbage at a carwash. Who says there’s no such thing as a free lunch?
I am lax when it comes to food sharing (within reason). The way I look at that, is people trust restaurant employees to handle their food without gloves all the time. Also, those dog babies are beyond adorable! That is so heartwarming Amber. God bless you. God loves you!
