1 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: Hi everybody. I'm Kelsey Nixon and this is Kitchen Prescription, 2 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: the podcast you listen to and you don't know what 3 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: to make for dinner. This is episode fifty four, my 4 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: favorite Amazon kitchen finds. Has anyone stayed at an Airbnb 5 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: lately or maybe like a condo you rented for a week. 6 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: I love the experience, with the exception of one thing. 7 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: Almost always, the kitchen is poorly outfitted. You know what 8 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: I'm talking about, Dole knives nothing more than like a 9 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: teeny tiny cutting board. You decide you're gonna make cookies 10 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 1: one night, but there's not a sheet tray in the house, 11 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: but they've got a bunt pan for whatever reason. I 12 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: know you know what I'm talking about, because it always 13 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: seems to be the case. And if you're planning to 14 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: do any sort of cooking at said airbnb, this can 15 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: be super frustrating, right And oftentimes that's why you booked 16 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: an airbnb, because you're staying with a group of peas 17 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: people and you're wanting to do some dinners in and 18 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: it can just be really frustrating. I know some of 19 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: you have been there, and I want to talk about 20 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: why I'm even bringing this up. Well, there are a 21 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: few things in my kitchen that make getting dinner on 22 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: the table a whole lot easier. In fact, I am 23 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: convinced that having quick and simple recipes to turn to 24 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: is only a fraction of the battle when it comes 25 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: to getting dinner on the table. Another huge factor is 26 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: having your kitchen outfitted with the right tools, because when 27 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: you're cooking out of a kitchen that's well stocked with 28 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: things that work appropriately, cooking becomes infinitely easier. So today 29 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: I want to share a handful of my favorite kitchen 30 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: finds on Amazon that make it easier for me to 31 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: get dinner on the table. I believe that there are 32 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: certain categories under the kitchen umbrella that make more sense 33 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: for Amazon shopping than others, and I want to dig 34 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: into those just a little bit. And if you're we're 35 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: listening to this episode when it comes out, we're about 36 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: a week ahead of Prime Day, so Amazon has been 37 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: on my mind. And while it's literally impossible to predict 38 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: exactly what will be on sale for Prime Day, I 39 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: have found that I like to identify beforehand if there's 40 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: anything that I need, and then if it happens to 41 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: be on sale, I can snatch it up for a deal. 42 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: But before we talk about that, let's jump into this 43 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: week's meal plan. First recipe suggestion is slow cooker Philly 44 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: cheese steaks. So this month in Recipe Club, we are 45 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: focusing on slow cooker soup, stews, chili's, all those types 46 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: of recipes. We mean chili last week it was so 47 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 1: good and you guys are going to love these slow 48 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 1: cooker Philly cheese steaks. What I did is I took 49 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: like the concept of a basic roast, because I do 50 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 1: a lot of pot roast, especially during the fall and 51 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: winter months. But I took like the same cut of meat, 52 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: I adjusted the seasonings a little bit, and thought, how 53 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: can we make this like a melty, cheesy, delicious sandwich 54 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: with peppers and onions. It is going to be great 55 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: after my husband and son have walked in from a 56 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: baseball game, like just hearty, good, delicious comfort food for 57 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: the fall. And this recipe came out so good. There's 58 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: a couple of tricks in there because you don't want 59 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: to add peppers and the onions at the same time, 60 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: so you don't want them too soggy. So it's a 61 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: great recipe. Definitely going to be on rotation at our 62 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: house for the next couple of months, and I can't 63 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: wait to make it this week recipe too. It's October, 64 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: we're out of September, but we are still living for 65 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,679 Speaker 1: apple season, and so we're making this is one of 66 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: those recipes. We probably make this more than anything else, 67 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: Apple cheddar grain bowls. We love it. It's got farrow, 68 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: it's got apples, it's got the unexpected cheddar from Trader 69 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: Joe's that we love so much. It's got kale, it's 70 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: got chicken like it's all those things that we love. 71 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: And especially for my kids, it's a really easy recipe 72 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: to deconstruct. So my husband and I feel like we're 73 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: having this hearty, delicious grain bowl and my little girls 74 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: that are six and three, I can just, you know, 75 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,839 Speaker 1: put the farrow in one side of the plate and 76 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: the apples on the other side of the plate, and 77 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: everyone's happy. So this is a great one. If you 78 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: guys haven't made it before, now it's a great time 79 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: to make it, and I like it. I suggest serving 80 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: it with like a creamy balsamic dressing, And if you're 81 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: in recipe Club, make sure you grab our dressing cheat 82 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: sheet where I share my six favorite homemade dressings. You 83 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 1: can print it out, stick it up in your pantry 84 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: or behind a cabinet door, whatever. A homemade dressing goes 85 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: a long way, and once you get in the habit 86 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: of making them, you realize that a you almost always 87 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: have everything on hand to make a homemade dressing. It's 88 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,119 Speaker 1: not hard and boil. Boy, do they taste a lot better. 89 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: So make your balsamic dressing from scratch if you've got 90 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: it in you. And the third recipe, oh man, this 91 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: this one that I don't think we've had in like 92 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: nine months, Like the last time I made this was 93 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: probably February. And everybody loves it. It's like a good 94 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: old fashioned casserole type dish, a cheesy chicken broccoli bake. 95 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: It is so good. It's got rice and oorzo in it. 96 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: It's like perfectly cheesy and a hearty and like a 97 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: little retro. But everyone of my family loves it. It's 98 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: golden and crispy on the top with Pinko, And like, 99 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: I'm literally salivating talking about it because I have missed 100 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: this recipe and I'm so happy it has worked its 101 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: way back into the rotation.

All right, 119 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: let's jump into the back half of the podcast where 120 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: we are going to discuss my favorite kitchen fines on Amazon. 121 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: So I know I can't be the only one. You 122 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: also might have a love hate relationship with Amazon like 123 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: I do, and I'm well aware of the pros and 124 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: the cons. I'm someone who loves to shop small and 125 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: I love that. But ultimately, right now, Amazon drastically simplifies 126 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: my life and where I am in this chapter of 127 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: being a working mom raising young kids, literally going in 128 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: a million different directions. I'm immensely grateful for how helpful 129 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: Amazon is for me in getting things to my door 130 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: quickly that solve problems. So I want to talk about 131 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: am Amazon and specifically the category of kitchen today because 132 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: I think Amazon can be a great resource for outfitting 133 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: your kitchen, especially in certain categories. Now there's other categories 134 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: where I don't think it's as helpful, but I want 135 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: to focus on five categories where I think Amazon is 136 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: a great tool as you get your kitchen set up 137 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: for success. So earlier in the podcast, we talked a 138 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: little bit about how having easy recipes awesome that's helpful 139 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: in getting dinner on the table, but also having a 140 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: working kitchen that's somewhat organized, where it's not filled with 141 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: things you never use, but it's actually used with the 142 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: tools that you use regularly, will make such a difference. 143 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys remember, but a few 144 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: months ago, my sister moved into a new house in Colorado, 145 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: and I went there and I helped her kind of 146 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: outfit her kitchen and get it organized. And she says 147 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: to me at least once a week, I cannot believe 148 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: how much I love my kitchen still look good. It's 149 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: because we went into it with systems in mind, and 150 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: we got her setup for success. She's noted how she 151 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: cooks more often. She enjoys cooking more often, and it's 152 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: because she's not dealing with a stupid dull knife that 153 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: she got when she was in college and she's been 154 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: hauling around for the past ten years. And she's not 155 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: dealing with the same pots and pans that she got 156 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: when she was married, you know, when she got married 157 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: from a bed bath and beyond like combo set. But 158 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: she actually invested in some good stuff. So now that 159 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that everything in your kitchen has to be expensive. 160 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: Quite the contrary. It's just about knowing the right stuff 161 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: to keep in your kitchen for the style of cooking 162 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: that you like. So let's jump into these categories, the 163 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: first being pantry and fridge organizers. So I know that 164 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: a fair amount of you out there have seen people 165 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: organize their kitchens on Instagram and be like, oh man, 166 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: what I would get? What I give for my tupperware 167 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 1: drawer to look like that or my cabinet to look 168 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: like that, or whatever it may be. And you've felt 169 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: inspired to organize an area in your kitchen. So if 170 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: you do this the correct way, you're gonna take everything 171 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: out of this space. You're gonna measure, You're gonna see 172 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 1: what space you have to work with, because everyone's kitchen 173 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: is gonna be different, right, And then you have two options. 174 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: You are gonna assess what you have and you actually 175 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: need to store, and then you need some organizers typically, 176 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: because investing in some organizers is going to help you 177 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: create a system that sticks. You could take those measurements 178 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: and go to container store, go to Target, go to Walmart, whatever, 179 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: and look for specific items on the shelves that fit 180 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: your space. And I love shopping at all of those places, 181 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: but that is hard. I've done it many, many, many times, 182 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: and it's stressful. And then you're like, you got everything 183 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: laid out on the floor and you're like will this work? 184 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: Will it not work? And then you decide to get 185 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: it and then you'll just bring back what you don't use. 186 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: Amazon is great for this because if I know that 187 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: I've only got eleven inches to work within this drawer, 188 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: it's much easier for me to look up organization items 189 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: on Amazon to make sure they're a fit then like 190 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: trek all the way to container store. Also, Amazon is 191 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: pretty friendly when it comes to returns. So if you 192 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: are taking the approach of I'm going to order a 193 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: bunch of stuff in return what I don't use, I 194 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: think it's much easier to do that on Amazon than 195 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: it is like at a container store. And I love 196 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: I thrive in a container store. Don't get me wrong, 197 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: I love it, But I'm just saying for this specific 198 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: thing where measurements are so important and where you think 199 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: you may want to organize things a certain way, but 200 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: you might change your mind once you get all of 201 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: the items in there, Amazon's fantastic for that. So specifically 202 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: for fridge organizers, I have bought all of my fridge 203 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: organizers on Amazon Pantry. There's things like like baskets and 204 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: those pop top containers and lazy Susans, all of those 205 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: things you can find on Amazon. The other benefit to 206 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: doing it that way is you really can compare pricing, 207 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: whereas if you go to one store, you've got less 208 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: tools there. So if you are looking to do an 209 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: organization project in your pantry, fridge, or freezer, I highly 210 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: recommend utilizing Amazon as a tool to find organizers there. 211 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: All right, the next category is somewhat adjacent, but different 212 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: storage sets. I want you to think about your tupperwardrawer 213 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 1: or your cabinet, whatever it may look like. Chances are 214 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: you've got a million different lids and different bottoms and 215 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: you never know what goes with what. One of the 216 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 1: best tips I can offer people is to give yourself 217 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: the gift, as a gal or guy in your thirties 218 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: or your forties or maybe even your twenties, that you 219 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: are going to get rid of all that mismatched stuff 220 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 1: and you are going to commit to one set of 221 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 1: food storage containers, tupperware, whatever you want to call it, 222 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: so that every lid is gonna fit and every bottom 223 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: is gonna be the same. I happen to love the 224 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: rubber made Brilliance set. I've been using it for four 225 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: or five years now. It is never doing me wrong. 226 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: I can't imagine them improving the product like I just 227 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: love it. It comes in plasticket comes in glass. But 228 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: what's so awesome about this is that the same lids 229 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: work for the plastic or the glass. So I can 230 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: have a set of glass organizers where I want to 231 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: store leftovers that I might pop in the oven to reheat, 232 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: and the same lids work with the plastic ones. So 233 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: a couple years ago I got rid of everything that 234 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: wasn't rubber made Brilliance and decided that my set I 235 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: was committing to this one brand. And it doesn't have 236 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: to be rubber made Brilliance. It could be Pyrex, it 237 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: could be a Glad, it doesn't matter. Just commit to 238 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: one set. Now. The reason I recommend buying this on 239 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: Amazon is products like that tend to live indefinitely on Amazon. 240 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: I can't imagine going to Amazon and not finding my 241 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: or made Brilliant set. It will always be there. So 242 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: if I decide that I need more of this set, 243 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: and it's a very established brand at this point, it's 244 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: easy for me to order it on Amazon, as opposed 245 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: to strolling mails of Costco and being like, oh, awesome, 246 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: look at this pirate set. It's on sale. I'm going 247 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: to get one of these, So then you buy it 248 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: you bring it home and you may love it, but 249 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: then you go to get more and you can't find 250 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: it because it was a specific set for Costco. So 251 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 1: now you got to buy another set, and then you 252 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: got you live in the land of mismatched lids again. 253 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 1: So that's why I recommend sticking to one brand, and 254 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,719 Speaker 1: Amazon's a great place to do that where you can 255 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 1: see if rubber Maid Brilliance has what forty thousand and 256 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: five star reviews on this particular food storage set, it's 257 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: not going anywhere. So that Another example would be the 258 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 1: Oxo pop top containers. Those are my favorite storage containers 259 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 1: for my pantry and some of my baking items, and 260 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: they're always gonna have them. They're always going to have them, 261 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: and so that's another great thing for my pantry that 262 00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: I can I've decided I'm an oxopop top girl, right, 263 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: That's what I use to organize my different spaces, and 264 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: so I can easily add to those sets and then 265 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: they all look the same and they look cohesive, and 266 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: that's a nice thing. So think about storage sets. Okay, 267 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: next subscribe and save. Now I know you've seen this 268 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: button on Amazon before, and maybe you're even afraid of 269 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: it because once upon a time you had a baby 270 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: and you had diapers on Subscribe and Save, and then 271 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: you forgot and then they sent you diapers. I've been there. Luckily, 272 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: they're actually very good about returns in that regard. But 273 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: there are a couple of subscribe and save options for 274 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: my kitchen that I swear by, things that I know 275 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: I'm always gonna be running out of and always use, 276 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: like dish soap. So I have become a huge fan 277 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: of the spray foam dish soap over the past couple 278 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: of years, and I take the brand I like, I 279 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: put it on Subscribe and Save and it's just always coming. 280 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: And if it comes a little bit before I'm out, 281 00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: then I know that I've got a backstock and it's 282 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: ready to go. Hand soap too, I like, I'm a 283 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: huge fan of this specific smell of hand soap. It's 284 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: a method foaming hand soap. I love it. And so 285 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: I've got that down Subscribe and save and it only 286 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: comes once every six months. I don't need it that often, 287 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: but then I'm never running out of hand soap. Pre 288 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: cut parchment paper, something not in the cleaning category that 289 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: I love, and I know that about every three months, 290 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: I'm going to go through an entire package of that, 291 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: and I just put it on the Subscribe and Save. 292 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: It saves me about five to ten percent, and it's 293 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: just nice knowing that it's coming. Ziploc bags, reusable baggies, 294 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: those things are great and a huge one for me 295 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: that I just added was, you guys know, I'm a 296 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: fan of the Force of Nature multipurpose cleaning, and you 297 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: have to buy the actual set or the contraption to 298 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: make the Force of Nature from them directly, but you 299 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: can buy their little capsules or pods on Amazon through 300 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: Subscribe and Save, and so that has been awesome for 301 00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: me because I definitely go through those. Okay, the next category, 302 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: small appliances. The reason I'm recommending this is that Amazon 303 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: is such a great tool for relying on reviews and 304 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: star ratings. So let's say you're gonna buy an air fryer, 305 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: a rice cooker, maybe an ice cream maker, a juicer 306 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: something like that, or an electric kettle that's on my 307 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: wish list. Amazon is opposed to you go to Target right, 308 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: Target dot com and look, but you don't have the 309 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: incredible tool of all of the reviews and the star 310 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: ratings and something you're gonna plug in and it's not 311 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: straightforward as to whether or not it's gonna last forever. 312 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: It's nice to have reviews for that. So I highly 313 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: recommend those things you're gonna plug in in your kitchen. 314 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: Take a look on Amazon and look at those reviews, 315 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: look at the ratings. Get an idea. If you think 316 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: it's a worthy investment that has been never steers me wrong. 317 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: And if it doesn't work out, return it and they 318 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: have a really great return policy. Okay, the last category, 319 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: the fifth category is gadgets. Now these ones, I'm not 320 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: typically a gadget girl, but there are a couple of 321 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 1: things that have come from Amazon that just delight me, 322 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: like a frother, an electric battery operated frother. I have 323 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: recently started drinking my greens and it's like, I love it. 324 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: It's better greens by better days. I've almost completely eliminated 325 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: diet coke from my routine because I've started drinking this 326 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: and I love it. But it's like a powdered supplement 327 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: and so you add it to your water and I 328 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 1: use this electric frother to mix it up, and really 329 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: it just makes it so it's not graty, and it's 330 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 1: really well mixed. It would work great for hot chocolate 331 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 1: or any sort of other protein powder or something like that. 332 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: But who knew? Who knew? If I walk into Target 333 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: looking for a frother, I don't know if I'm gonna 334 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: find it.
