Delusional 😸

QVCkitty1 — Wed, 11 Sep 2024 22:54:51 GMT

Ok, I got a really good deal on small cups of applesauce on an Amazon Lightning deal. 72 cups( 12 packs of six)doesn't sound like much, but when you have a small kitchen and no pantry, I have to wonder what I was thinking. I put as many as I could in the fridge and shove the rest on my back porch. I think I'm delusional when I order sometimes , like when I try and fit 6 packs of bagels in an already full freezer. I hope I remember this the next time I see a good deal.

@QVCkitty1 maybe get a family member, friend or neighbor (or all 3) to split up the purchases.

@QVCkitty1. Make an applesauce cake and get rid of some of it.

Those would last DS about 3 weeks. 😉

I had a recipe for applesauce quick bread with nuts and used to make it to use up applesauce.

They should have a long shelf life.

Why don't you try to put some of the cups in a hall closet.

This reminded of a story that we heard at my daughter's college orientation. The woman in charge of housing, talking about what to pack and not to pack and also to really think what you send in the mail. A student picked up a package at mail center from his mother. She said 100 individual nutella's and was seen handing them out in front of the student center.

@QVCkitty1

You can freeze that applesauce as well.

No drawers or shelves that would hold them? Better enjoy a cup a day.

I love Ice cream but only the all natural ice cream, just cream sugar and real vanilla. When it's on sale I buy six or seven at a time and making room for it in the freezer determines what we have for dinner.

@QVCkitty1 I thought of an idea- you could keep a few dozen and maybe give out some to trick or treaters at halloween .

@AuntG , My plan , when I ordered it was to have it instead of fattening snacks. I tend to be a night owl and I get hungry. I also might use it for breakfast, so even though I' the only applesauce lover here, I think I can use it up with no problem .

@AuntG , Here's the thing, I live in a very old house. It has it's charm, but it lacks storage space. I can usually work things out , but it can be challenging.

@Kachina624 @QVCkitty1 : I was sick during the holidays and told to eat apple sauce. I ordered 2 cases of 18 cups by mistake. I like the idea of making apple sauce cake. I was researching recipes and will try using a spice cake mix adding the applesauce and chopped nuts .I will make muffins and freeze them.

I recently stocked up when Walmart had them for $2 a 6 pack. No where near 12 of them but I did buy several. My advice is leave them in the "box" and stack them somewhere. I thought I could cram them into my pantry better in individual cups and that was a big mistake LOL they do NOT stack well.

@QVCkitty1

I got several 6 packs on sale recently ... and in different flavors, which has been nice to try. I'm having one every night after dinner.

Very refreshing to eat cold applesauce when it's been so hot.

Hey, I'm going through an applesauce phase.

@QVCkitty1 If you go to Amazon and put "over the door shoe holder" in search, you can see that they have lots of them. Some hold up to 35 slots.

I have one over the inside of my pantry door. It is so helpful when I have extra ketchup bottles, can goods, jams, envelopes for sauces and all kinds of things.

My main pantry is downstairs, so this shoe holder really saves me steps. I've been using this system of shoe bag storeage for close to forty years. You can pack in a lot of your applesauce cups, out of the boxes of course, and who knows what else you will find convenient to store.

Hope this helps.

I think there is a lot of sugar in applesauce.
