Oopsie. Listen, I’m not responsible for what I say before I’ve finished my first cup of coffee ok?

You don’t say what type of gloves. Rubber, leather or cloth?

I use plastic reusable stretchy plastic covers like these, but I don’t usually get them from amazon...

This is what I do also.

My husband and I eat far differently than our grandkids. We don’t like pizza, popcorn chicken or tacos and rarely have pasta. They don’t like fish that isn’t a stick, curry dishes, most vegetables or fruits.

I agree.

All I have to go on is what I’ve read, never stored beans for that long. As I understand it, oxygen and light are the issue; the plastic bags the beans come in will only keep them about a year. Mylar with O2 absorbers are preferred over even buckets with gamma lids.

My parents always told me that if I was hungry I would eat what I’m given. If I didn’t like it, maybe I would when I was hungry. I understand if people have food allergies they wouldn’t take like peanut butter or whatever, but if you’re hungry I would think you’d find a way to use whatever you...

Did you pack in mylar with O2 absorbers? I had some long term storage items before we moved from one state to another. My beans were still useable after five to seven years. I’m curious if maybe we were just in the window or usable or not.

Yeah, I’ve seen people pick through their boxes of free food with disgust. I was like hey I’ll take it, I know how to cook beans and rice and my kids love peanut butter! What do they think they’re gonna get, vouchers for a Big Mac from MickeyD’s?

I have beans, and flour! Like almost 50lbs of flour lol. I don’t use much flour, but it was a hard to find item here when Covid hit. It’s in mylar bags wot O2 absorbers like the beans, so it will store a very long time.

Sorry guy, I had no caffeine on board when I replied :lol:

I dunno, there are certain items we go through faster than others so I can’t always get things on sale. If I see a sale I’ll take advantage of it, but otherwise I stock my pantry as needed

That’s not dark humor, that’s enough to make you mad for real.

I understand wanting fresh food over boxes and cans. The problem is what happens if something happens? I don’t feel comfortable if that pantry isn’t almost overflowing though, so I try to rotate in the canned goods with some regularity.

I just made fried rice last night for this very reason :highfive: I had one leftover pork chop, so I added a couple of eggs for more protein. It’s a great clean out the fridge meal.

I save them and put them in a knee high stocking, then hang one on each water spigot outside for hand scrubbing.

I find that I’m much more frugal when I’ll use any excuse NOT to go shopping. I will pull out all the stops to be creative with meals in order to not go to the store. Chili dogs on the heels of the bread loaf with whatever cheese is around. Fried rice made with a leftover pork chop, a couple...

You and me both! I will find every excuse in the book to avoid shopping.

Cool, just wanted to be clear; I agree it can difficult and we all word things differently :)
