I can't even imagine having the money to walk into the grocery store and just pick up everything you need or want with no thought of the cost. What a blessing! I really enjoy watching you take care of your family. God bless each of you.
I feel you. I live on a total cost for all household items, including pet food and human food of $50/week. I've only gotten a few minutes into the video and I'm like "Whelp, there goes my monthly budget." LOL I'm just glad she has the money for feeding her kids.
Just because they have the money to feed their family of 12 doesn’t mean they don’t worry about money or how much they spend. They work almost every second of every day to make that keep happening. Just because someone seemingly has money to afford a large purchase doesn’t mean their life isn’t complicated or super hard just like everyone else. Compare = Unfair Sending love. ❤️
@@__kitchenwitch__ you literally just do the exact same thing. I don't think anyone's comment was meant in a bad way, if anything they were impressed with planning and funds distribution. You're absolutely right about us not knowing how they live etc but at the same time, surely they wouldn't have adopted children if they couldn't afford that.. not that it's anybody's business. Anyway, practice what you preach. Don't assume the worst in people..
High sugar foods can really exacerbate symptoms of acid reflux. I found that I had to cut out most sweets as I was constantly having issues with acid reflux. As soon as I cut out chocolate/desserts it goes away. I would try and track when your kids struggle with it and cut out the food items that make it worse.
Seeing how much love and effort you put every single day to make your kids day is just so amazing. Me and my siblings were adopted and lucky enough we stayed in my mothers family. But we were separated in two different homes. My grandma took in the older 2 ones and my mom (aunt) took in the 3 younger ones. 5 of us in total. My mother stayed with the youngest one out of 6. This year she passed away and honestly was one of the hardest days of our lives. Never in a million years did we think she would ever go away. Especially the way she did. She was so young I don’t understand everything she did in life. But I do know that giving us up was one of the hardest things she ever did. She cried about it everyday. But she know she did the right thing. She was so proud of each and every one of her kids and I honestly thankful for the opportunity she gave her kids. As an adopted child you learn to appreciate the little things in life. But out of this we have 3 moms my mom, aunt, and grandma. I love each and everyone of them the same. I’m so grateful for them every single day. But out of this I know the pain we went threw for loosing our mom we will go threw it 3 times instead of 1. My heart hurts and there’s not one day I don’t cry for you mom. Just know your 6 kid love and miss you dearly. Your 13 grand babies love and miss you even more. I’m so grateful we are in my moms family. Thankful that we all still grew up together. Our life is crazy and only we understand it but I would change it not one bit. Because this shaped and molded us into the people we are today. You guys are doing great. God bless you all always.❤️
HI!! Just wanted to say that if the we ALL had parents like you guys, the world would be a much happier place. I find myself moved to tears by your love, patience and kindness towards your kids, which is something I rarely experienced from my own parents and it has a lasting effect. Many happy Greetings and Love from Hobart, Tasmania!
I really love the exposure and versatility that she creates with her kids while growing up to allow them to experience different types of foods. This is really important when introducing new foods especially to kids while growing up. They will be well versed in the food world!!!
Honestly I would switch out the rubber bands in Harley’s hair they pull on the delicate strands breaking the hair I would never wear them you can get small fabric ones off Amazon xxx
I love how you think of each one of your kids' likes and you always make meals fun for them. I wish I could afford to do this for my kids. I just get what's on sale for the week. I think it's cool that you plan out the meals with them and have a foreign food night! That's so fun! You have given me ideas to make food more fun for my kids!
I love how you get what each child likes. That provides a sense of love and comfort. I feel like there are a lot of foster parents that aren't great, but watching all the love that you give is so beautiful. You provide food, clothing, activities, and most importantly love to these kids. I wish I could give you a big hug! I grew up in a home I should have been removed from. I watch your videos and smile for all those lucky kids!
Your memory is phenomenal...looking very forward to tomorrow's so I can see where you store all that stuff! My brain craves organization as well so I loved seeing it all lined up in neat and sweet. Great job!

I've been taking Omeprazole for years so if someone uses it regularly, depending on your insurance, you might try getting a prescription. Mine, with my insurance is actually free but a 90 day supply should cost quite a bit less than the OTC.
Try Sara Lee white bread made with whole grains, it seems to last a lot longer than regular white bread, and potato rolls last longer than regular rolls. Also, if you don't have room in your fridge or freezer to store bread and rolls, it works to store them in the garage during winter months. Ours last 4-8 weeks there.
I absolutely love your beautiful family 💕 the world needs more loving families like yours. Your family is truly blessed. 🥰 I love these grocery hauls though. I love all of your videos but the grocery hauls are my favorite. It gives me ideas of different dinners and lunches for my family. It’s funny to me also that I have a family of 3 (my last child is still home) and I fix dinners big enough to feed probably your whole family lol. It’s easier to cook for an army then just 3. Thank you for taking all of us along on your grocery hauls❤️ and for letting us watch your beautiful children grow. You have the most respectful kids I’ve ever seen. I’m not kidding either. You and Mr are doing a great job. 👏❤️
We only have 4 people total in our house, and only 2 eat regular bread on a daily basis..but we try to have 1 or 2 loafs frozen at all times! So if I forget to grab some there's back-up...but I've noticed store brand bread freezes the best! Franz doesn't defrost good, it ends up with hard spots on it... I'd try freezing one of your favorite brands and it might save you on trips, or at least items on your mid-week stock up. Just take it out the night before to let it defrost.
Yes I love the Daughtery's grocery haul's more than the other'sI've seen. Alicia makes it relaxing to watch! She really has it all together. Great vlogs!!
New to the channel. I'm wondering how one can fund this amount of food. I know that's a crazy question and I'm ashamed to say I want to know. I'm totally amazed at the organization 😃

For your kids that have acid reflux . Have you tried doing the kale blended drink ? Kale helps clean the liver from toxic and will help relieve the system of acid . I use kale lemon garlic and ginger add a little salt to give it some taste . Put it in the blender and mix it up really good like a smoothie .
I love watching your grocery trips and the way you organize it to save time. :)) How do you pick what meals to make every week? Making different meals all the time seems so difficult.
She meets with her kids and asks their opinions but has a basic outline for each day. Example chicken type of meal one day, some type of taco on Tuesday, a crockpot day etc etc.
I remember my mother food shopping like price didn't matter. I miss those days. this woman buys almost the exact same thing every week so the price will be almost the same too. it helps when you have big family's. takes me back to when I was younger. thanks for the memories.
Love watching your hauls! Im amazed at how much groceries yall go through in a week. We are a family of 11 and i only spend maybe 200 a week, but we are from Kentucky. If yall have a Sams club near by check it out. Literally my favorite store
I don’t even have kids or a family and I just love and am so fascinated by your family and the dynamics and personalities of everyone. It’s beautiful, entertaining and what I choose to watch over most things now haha. I love it
I really love your shopping expeditions, there are so many choices over there. I’m in Australia and we don’t see half of the products you are lucky enough to get. Sending hugs and best wishes 🐨🦘
Just a thought-what my family has started doing is every Saturday, we sit down with 5 sticky notes each labeled Monday-Friday and we each have 5 clothes pins with our name and day of the week. Then we write down what we want for lunch each day and then my parents use those lists to make store lists. Then on Sunday, we pack all the pantry items and things that don’t need to stay cold so that the rest of the week we only need to pack like fruit, veggies, sandwiches etc. in the morning and the rest of the items we just grab from our clips and toss them in the lunchboxes :) I under sry and that every family is different and has a process that works for them but I just thought I could share what works for my family:)
What does your husband do for work?! I’m so impressed you can afford to feed so many people. With our 2 incomes we couldn’t afford to feed that many people. Also, you can put the bread in the fridge or freezer and it will last longer
a good tip for acid reflux is to get some of the “TUMS” antacid chews and take like 2 of them! it works very well and i have reflux where i take prescribed medicine everyday to lessen the severity of it.
Incredible I love that you show us the total although I have no kids and won’t afford all that every week haha I’m just amazed by the dedication and seeing you really take consideration your kids preferences 🥰
I'm from Poland and what is fascinating for me is that fruits and vegetables are all packed in plastic bags. Why ? Is it because of coronavirus ? I have never ever seen a ready meal of rice and peas in a cartoon 😂 so many different things, that is amazing. A separate valley for breads in plastic bags ? And another one for prepared sandwiches ? There are tons of ready sandwiches 😀😀 For 7 years I lived in one of biggest cities in Poland, have been to huge stores several times and never seen anything like that even in UK :O that is crazy 😃
Love love love love beyondddddd love these. Please do this every week!!! I love watching these before I go to bed. Your videos help me so much with my anxiety! ❤️❤️❤️
I recently just came across your channel and I loved your content so much!!!! You are one amazing woman and your routine brings me peace. Please keep up the good work. Best wishes.
I have a suggestion that may eliminate the need for reflux medications for your kids. Completely stop any fatty meals 6 hours prior to bedtime: all cheese, meat and pastries as they're full of fat and that tends to digest slowly = reflux.
You are an awesome mom!!! I see you preparing several different types of food for each child's likes. Growing up, I was the youngest of four, take what you get and don't get upset was the motto. I cant imagine buying the volume of food you do and so calm about the bottom line on it. I use hummus as a sauce. Chicken and veggies tied together with a hummus for the sauce. It bumps up the plant base and cuts the fat on the cream based sauces.It is super fast.
Steak night at a restaurant costs my husband and I $160 and that's without yummy leftovers for steak and eggs the next morning so your steak night is a win price wise!
Did you know you can freeze bread they last longer that way when you want some bread just chuck it on the ground in the bag to break it up and To frost some and then put the rest back in the freezer.
It boggles my mind the things my kids would have loved to have. Our income was miniscule, rarely got boxes of cereal, fresh fruit was maybe one or two servings a week unless it was apple season and I would get a bushel. So many snacks and treats! I did bake, but not the way my mother-in-law did. She went through a 25 # bag every week with 6 kids. Most of the time, a grab and go breakfast was a peanutbutter follower, or home made eggnog, sometimes with banana in it. Two blender fulls split between them. When I got a microwave, the kids went on a baked potato or scrambled egg spree after school.
The difference in upbringings between my husband and I are a stark contrast. My mom shopped like I do. We always had everything, all the best snacks, etc. My husband grew up very poor and some days had only the food they gave him at school to eat. When we were first together he couldn’t understand why I bought so much. He was used to eating leftovers that were weeks past their prime, with no thought to it. Which, of course, I thought was weird. But really it just had to do with how we were raised. He now accepts that I will buy a lot of snacks and produce, and I even accept eating leftovers….although they can’t be past 5 days old!
The way I grew up is unfortunately the way I had to raise my kids, even worse for them at a certain point in our lives I think. I went without to make sure they had enough. Thank the Lord, we are in a much better place now. I'm in my 50's and at times I still see everything in terms of food, for example.. I rarely shop for anything for myself because that money can be used to buy food.
You deserve all the love! I cant imagine living like this. I have a small family. It’s such a different lifestyle, thanks for letting us peek in. Your a rock star!
Does produce make you happy? Because feesh produce always makes me happy. We eat a lot of it every week and I always feel ridiculous when i roll into aldi and 50% of my cart is produce... but i cook a lot. We eat almost every meal at home and even pack lunches for the kids when they go to school. Sooooo much food. I enjoy your recipes and seeing what you make for inspiration for my own meals. You're an amazing momma ❤️
The most noble human being. U make me want to be a better person. I just saw ur story on how you ended up with 10 kids and it's beautiful. God bless you and keep you 💖💖💖
I'm new to your channel it just popped up. I use to always watch large families on RUclips and grocery/ prepping meals. It so wonderful how you bought different steaks of what everyone likes. I was a single mother of 2 and I enjoyed motherhood. My son's are adults and if I could do it over again I definitely would. Your a great mom and dad. I look forward to watching more of your videos...✌🏽💜🙏🏽
hi from England, I've just found your channel, now I'm binge watching, commenting here whilst watching your morning prep on TV. what a mum, you do a fabulous job, so energetic and so cheerful. New subscriber here on this account and my personal one, I look forward to seeing all your videos xxx
I started watching yesterday the breakfast for 10 and then now I’m watching your shopping God bless you and your family, it takes a strong women but much more than that it takes a strong mother to do what she hast to do!
Have you thought about the following to reduce costs : A deep freeze +local butcher eg buying a whole sheep for example rather than a few kg of special slices? This way the kids are used to eating different cuts of meat not just boneless prime cuts. fishmongers and south Asian stores for fresh and frozen fish. In the Bangladeshi stores for example they have tonnes of frozen fish . If you’re not up for tackling bones as you eat the larger fish are better they cut them into steaks for you . Or you can get blocks of certain fish as fillets also. The western fishmongers are good for buying the entire fish also and if you’re scared of bones they can remove it. However in my experience with bones removed half the fish and flavour disappears, so I always refuse them prepping it for me. Fruit and veg : farmers markets or local farms? Sacks of onions and rice are cheaper in large south asian grocery stores if you have them near you. As are many spices ;)
@@syniahthomas977 it’s just another way of saying they didn’t get enough!!! It can sometimes make children food hoarders…stealing and stashing food. Sometimes children are t given the proper nutrition or only basic foods. Many children in foster care or parented by family are envious of the “goodies” and snacks they see others eat but are “off limits” to them. You can over think whole food vs processed food when it comes to mental health and kids. It is what it is🤷🏻♀️ I’m sure there are well meaning folks out there that want to address what the kids are eating…..I just admire the bigger picture.
I love watching all your video's, you definitely have a lot of work, regardless how much you spend, when it's family you make it work. ❤ to all your family, from England.
You are a super mom!!! TRULY!!! I’ve tried making a second channel for lifestyle mom stuff like this and I can’t even handle cleaning off the island to do a grocery haul for my family of four! So pat yourself on the back! You’re doing amazing!!!! Don’t burn yourself out just for us though! Take breaks and rest when you need to! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I'm new to your channel and I'm so so impressed. I'm a mom of 2 and I get stressed about .... almost everything, so you are my new inspiration. I can't believe you have 12 kids and still decide to bake a cake and make bread instead of you buying it. You are also so beautiful, I am red-haired fan big time, anyways, I just want to say hi 👋
Hi ... for the bread you can buy for the whole week and put it in the freezer if you like then the day before or the same one, you can put it in the oven for a few minutes and good as new they come out
You're such a wonderful, blessed Lady!! What an inspiration you are!! You have the biggest heart! If each of us did just 1/4 of what you do, the world would really be a better place for all!! May the Lord bless you and your family abundantly!!🙏💖
The worst I've had with produce is when I recently purchased a personal watermelon and when I went to cut into it it was rotten. Nothing on the outside pointed to it being possibly bad so I don't know what happened. Thankfully I had purchased two of them and the other one was fine.
Have you ever considered ordering restaurant sized portions from a company like performance food group or Cisco? It would likely lower your grocery costs. I used to deliver for performance food group and we would take private orders sometimes!
I love watching these kinds of videos because in my family of 3 (me, sister, grandma) we don't have much money, I'm struggling to get a job, and our grocery money is counted, we can't go over a cent or we're doomed. So we can only pick the essentials, and even by doing that we have to leave something behind sometimes if it's too expensive. Things keep getting expensive and the money keeps being the same. I like watching videos like this cuz I can dream of the day we won't be counting to buy the bare minimum to survive the month.
I’m sorry to hear that I will be praying you find a job. Please know that whenever I am in line behind someone struggling to pay their total I step in and pay it for them. I hope that someone does that for you. 🙏
@@DoughertyDozen I had someone do that for me once, and even though I was stunned speeches by her kindness so I didn't get to tell her, but I've vowed to pay it forward. I bet you have started a chain reaction yourself!
I am 65 raising my 5 grandchildren. I love your ideas for breakfast and lunches. I can't remember the last time I bought beef steak. Most of the meals I make are with chicken, hamburger and chuck roast on sale. Pork chops on sale. I make my menu around the meat sales. One night a week we have homemade soup with bread or corn bread muffins. Tuesdays are always Taco Tuesdays. With Spanish rice and refried beans. Spagetti , salad and garlic bread, chili with whole kernel corn and corn bread, fried chicken, mashed potatoes and veggie, Chicken fried rice and dumplings
You are indeed amazing, marvelous mother👍🏼😘 1 day 3 meals average for 12 persons total 36 meals per day. One week then will be 252 meals. Not counting any side dishes yet. Give you 100 thousands of loves and likes.
for a mom of 1 your day is a challenge youre supermom to me. i cant get enough how much love and effort you put to everything. you were born to be a mom od 10 :)

She meets with her kids and asks their opinions but has a basic outline for each day. Example chicken type of meal one day, some type of taco on Tuesday, a crockpot day etc etc.
I’ll need to make a video! It’s a process lol
@@DoughertyDozen That'd be really awesome :D
@@DoughertyDozen yes mama!! We all NEED a video of that puhleassse?!? ☺
@@DoughertyDozen yes, please!!!
I remember my mother food shopping like price didn't matter. I miss those days. this woman buys almost the exact same thing every week so the price will be almost the same too. it helps when you have big family's. takes me back to when I was younger. thanks for the memories.
Love watching your hauls! Im amazed at how much groceries yall go through in a week. We are a family of 11 and i only spend maybe 200 a week, but we are from Kentucky. If yall have a Sams club near by check it out. Literally my favorite store
We use sams club too. We are a family of 8 in Idaho. Our budgets been $500-600 a month
I don’t even have kids or a family and I just love and am so fascinated by your family and the dynamics and personalities of everyone. It’s beautiful, entertaining and what I choose to watch over most things now haha. I love it
I really love your shopping expeditions, there are so many choices over there. I’m in Australia and we don’t see half of the products you are lucky enough to get. Sending hugs and best wishes 🐨🦘
If you have room, you can keep bread in the fridge to keep it from going bad as fast! :) My household does that a lot
You are sooo efficient and organized.....love watching your videos!!
Thank you!
Just a thought-what my family has started doing is every Saturday, we sit down with 5 sticky notes each labeled Monday-Friday and we each have 5 clothes pins with our name and day of the week. Then we write down what we want for lunch each day and then my parents use those lists to make store lists.
Then on Sunday, we pack all the pantry items and things that don’t need to stay cold so that the rest of the week we only need to pack like fruit, veggies, sandwiches etc. in the morning and the rest of the items we just grab from our clips and toss them in the lunchboxes :)
I under sry and that every family is different and has a process that works for them but I just thought I could share what works for my family:)
What does your husband do for work?! I’m so impressed you can afford to feed so many people. With our 2 incomes we couldn’t afford to feed that many people.
Also, you can put the bread in the fridge or freezer and it will last longer
Great idea! He’s a teacher and coach. I make some $ with social media promos.
a good tip for acid reflux is to get some of the “TUMS” antacid chews and take like 2 of them! it works very well and i have reflux where i take prescribed medicine everyday to lessen the severity of it.
Hi Alicia, I love watching your grocery shopping trips and your morning routine videos they give me so much inspiration, have a wonderful evening 🧡🧡🧡
Thank you so much!!
So awesome that you buy what each kid likes. They’ll remember that. God bless 🙏🏼❤️
You can freeze bread if that helps any. 😊 We do this at our house to have extras on hand.
Tell the kids to try sprinkling a little salt on the green apples - changes the flavor completely! It's great!!!
You are so kind, caring and loving, you are one of the greatest human beings ever. Keep doing what your doing your amazing 🤩
Love your hauls. Would love to see how you store all. Like pantry and freezers
Incredible I love that you show us the total although I have no kids and won’t afford all that every week haha I’m just amazed by the dedication and seeing you really take consideration your kids preferences 🥰
I'm from Poland and what is fascinating for me is that fruits and vegetables are all packed in plastic bags. Why ? Is it because of coronavirus ? I have never ever seen a ready meal of rice and peas in a cartoon 😂 so many different things, that is amazing. A separate valley for breads in plastic bags ? And another one for prepared sandwiches ? There are tons of ready sandwiches 😀😀 For 7 years I lived in one of biggest cities in Poland, have been to huge stores several times and never seen anything like that even in UK :O that is crazy 😃
Blessings to you and your lovely family!!
🥰🥰🧡
It's amazing how you know what your kids want and need! You truly are a Wonder Woman!
I loveee these shop with me videos and all the longer morning ones!
Thank you!!
Love love love love beyondddddd love these. Please do this every week!!! I love watching these before I go to bed. Your videos help me so much with my anxiety! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much 🥰
Dawn Powerwash is also great for getting grease off a griddle!👍🏻
Love love love dawn power wash. I use it for a lot 😅😂
You are a wonderful mum, and very blessed to have the grocery budget you have.
I recently just came across your channel and I loved your content so much!!!! You are one amazing woman and your routine brings me peace. Please keep up the good work. Best wishes.
Thank you so much!
You can buy bread and freeze it, and take it they day before you pretend to use, it's always nice and fresh
With the pears If you can find the red pears they are so delicious and dont taste like gravel
Just wondering… did you buy only one cauliflower for 12 people? Or do you combine it with others vegetables at dinner??
I have a suggestion that may eliminate the need for reflux medications for your kids. Completely stop any fatty meals 6 hours prior to bedtime: all cheese, meat and pastries as they're full of fat and that tends to digest slowly = reflux.
You are an awesome mom!!! I see you preparing several different types of food for each child's likes. Growing up, I was the youngest of four, take what you get and don't get upset was the motto.
I cant imagine buying the volume of food you do and so calm about the bottom line on it.
I use hummus as a sauce. Chicken and veggies tied together with a hummus for the sauce. It bumps up the plant base and cuts the fat on the cream based sauces.It is super fast.
Spanish rice is very easy to make from scratch and a lot cheaper.
Love your hauls, your children eat really good!!! You are a hardworking mom
Steak night at a restaurant costs my husband and I $160 and that's without yummy leftovers for steak and eggs the next morning so your steak night is a win price wise!
Did you know you can freeze bread they last longer that way when you want some bread just chuck it on the ground in the bag to break it up and To frost some and then put the rest back in the freezer.
It boggles my mind the things my kids would have loved to have. Our income was miniscule, rarely got boxes of cereal, fresh fruit was maybe one or two servings a week unless it was apple season and I would get a bushel. So many snacks and treats! I did bake, but not the way my mother-in-law did. She went through a 25 # bag every week with 6 kids. Most of the time, a grab and go breakfast was a peanutbutter follower, or home made eggnog, sometimes with banana in it. Two blender fulls split between them.
When I got a microwave, the kids went on a baked potato or scrambled egg spree after school.
The difference in upbringings between my husband and I are a stark contrast. My mom shopped like I do. We always had everything, all the best snacks, etc. My husband grew up very poor and some days had only the food they gave him at school to eat. When we were first together he couldn’t understand why I bought so much. He was used to eating leftovers that were weeks past their prime, with no thought to it. Which, of course, I thought was weird. But really it just had to do with how we were raised. He now accepts that I will buy a lot of snacks and produce, and I even accept eating leftovers….although they can’t be past 5 days old!
The way I grew up is unfortunately the way I had to raise my kids, even worse for them at a certain point in our lives I think. I went without to make sure they had enough. Thank the Lord, we are in a much better place now. I'm in my 50's and at times I still see everything in terms of food, for example.. I rarely shop for anything for myself because that money can be used to buy food.
your ability to remember each persons food preferences will never stop amazing me
You're amazing mum! I cant believe how organised you are & how you breeze through the mamoth amount of shopping you have to do!! 🙌🤩
You deserve all the love! I cant imagine living like this. I have a small family. It’s such a different lifestyle, thanks for letting us peek in. Your a rock star!
I was waiting for this 😜💕
😁😁😁
You have so much energy and are undaunted! It’s inspiring to watch you! 💗
Does produce make you happy? Because feesh produce always makes me happy. We eat a lot of it every week and I always feel ridiculous when i roll into aldi and 50% of my cart is produce... but i cook a lot. We eat almost every meal at home and even pack lunches for the kids when they go to school. Sooooo much food. I enjoy your recipes and seeing what you make for inspiration for my own meals. You're an amazing momma ❤️
I love this style of grocery hall and I hope you continue to do it this way versus really fast version
Thank you 🥰
Mom of 6 here , would love to see a real life house tour and a video of tips tricks and hacks for large families 😀
The most noble human being. U make me want to be a better person. I just saw ur story on how you ended up with 10 kids and it's beautiful. God bless you and keep you 💖💖💖
I'm new to your channel it just popped up. I use to always watch large families on RUclips and grocery/ prepping meals. It so wonderful how you bought different steaks of what everyone likes. I was a single mother of 2 and I enjoyed motherhood. My son's are adults and if I could do it over again I definitely would. Your a great mom and dad. I look forward to watching more of your videos...✌🏽💜🙏🏽
hi from England, I've just found your channel, now I'm binge watching, commenting here whilst watching your morning prep on TV. what a mum, you do a fabulous job, so energetic and so cheerful. New subscriber here on this account and my personal one, I look forward to seeing all your videos xxx
I started watching yesterday the breakfast for 10 and then now I’m watching your shopping God bless you and your family, it takes a strong women but much more than that it takes a strong mother to do what she hast to do!
Have you thought about the following to reduce costs :
A deep freeze +local butcher eg
buying a whole sheep for example rather than a few kg of special slices?
This way the kids are used to eating different cuts of meat not just boneless prime cuts.
fishmongers and south Asian stores for fresh and frozen fish. In the Bangladeshi stores for example they have tonnes of frozen fish . If you’re not up for tackling bones as you eat the larger fish are better they cut them into steaks for you . Or you can get blocks of certain fish as fillets also. The western fishmongers are good for buying the entire fish also and if you’re scared of bones they can remove it. However in my experience with bones removed half the fish and flavour disappears, so I always refuse them prepping it for me.
Fruit and veg : farmers markets or local farms?
Sacks of onions and rice are cheaper in large south asian grocery stores if you have them near you. As are many spices ;)
Love your vibe. ✨
I love your understanding of children’s food insecurities.
What's a food insecurity?
@@syniahthomas977 it’s just another way of saying they didn’t get enough!!! It can sometimes make children food hoarders…stealing and stashing food. Sometimes children are t given the proper nutrition or only basic foods. Many children in foster care or parented by family are envious of the “goodies” and snacks they see others eat but are “off limits” to them. You can over think whole food vs processed food when it comes to mental health and kids. It is what it is🤷🏻♀️ I’m sure there are well meaning folks out there that want to address what the kids are eating…..I just admire the bigger picture.
@@jeannebrown484 ok 😊
I love watching all your video's, you definitely have a lot of work, regardless how much you spend, when it's family you make it work. ❤ to all your family, from England.
Put your extra bread in the freezer so when you notice you’re running out take it out the night before and you got some good bread love your videos:)
You are a super mom!!! TRULY!!! I’ve tried making a second channel for lifestyle mom stuff like this and I can’t even handle cleaning off the island to do a grocery haul for my family of four! So pat yourself on the back! You’re doing amazing!!!! Don’t burn yourself out just for us though! Take breaks and rest when you need to! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I'm new to your channel and I'm so so impressed. I'm a mom of 2 and I get stressed about .... almost everything, so you are my new inspiration. I can't believe you have 12 kids and still decide to bake a cake and make bread instead of you buying it. You are also so beautiful, I am red-haired fan big time, anyways, I just want to say hi 👋
Hi ... for the bread you can buy for the whole week and put it in the freezer if you like then the day before or the same one, you can put it in the oven for a few minutes and good as new they come out
you should try putting the bread in the fridge! they last longer.
Yeah then toast them qhen u want to eat
Yes I don’t know why I didn’t remember this hack! *Mom Brain*😂
One person doing the hauling. That’s insane. Love the vids.
It is insane how you handle such a household without nannies. You are hero
You're such a wonderful, blessed Lady!! What an inspiration you are!! You have the biggest heart! If each of us did just 1/4 of what you do, the world would really be a better place for all!! May the Lord bless you and your family abundantly!!🙏💖
whew…you are a trooper!!! I get tired and dizzy after 30 mins in the grocery store 😭😭
You’re a great mom! God bless!
🧡🧡🧡
Major props to you mama , I only have 1 child & Idk if I can handle any more lbs . 👏🏼👏🏼💕
The worst I've had with produce is when I recently purchased a personal watermelon and when I went to cut into it it was rotten. Nothing on the outside pointed to it being possibly bad so I don't know what happened. Thankfully I had purchased two of them and the other one was fine.
Have you ever considered ordering restaurant sized portions from a company like performance food group or Cisco? It would likely lower your grocery costs. I used to deliver for performance food group and we would take private orders sometimes!
Just think what you could do is you used coupons! Or super couponing.
That's a heckofah budget. I used to enjoy grocery shopping but the prices are depressing right now.
Ugh I know
Try freezing your grapes for a cool treat.
Hello from Siesta Key Florida
Congratulations on 100K!
I love watching these kinds of videos because in my family of 3 (me, sister, grandma) we don't have much money, I'm struggling to get a job, and our grocery money is counted, we can't go over a cent or we're doomed. So we can only pick the essentials, and even by doing that we have to leave something behind sometimes if it's too expensive. Things keep getting expensive and the money keeps being the same.
I like watching videos like this cuz I can dream of the day we won't be counting to buy the bare minimum to survive the month.
I’m sorry to hear that I will be praying you find a job. Please know that whenever I am in line behind someone struggling to pay their total I step in and pay it for them. I hope that someone does that for you. 🙏
@@DoughertyDozen I had someone do that for me once, and even though I was stunned speeches by her kindness so I didn't get to tell her, but I've vowed to pay it forward. I bet you have started a chain reaction yourself!
I've been in both situations! It feels amazing tmo pay it forward! 🤗🤗🤗
Oh sweetie, your times coming. You’ll get there. I’ve been in your situation too. 💕
I am 65 raising my 5 grandchildren. I love your ideas for breakfast and lunches. I can't remember the last time I bought beef steak. Most of the meals I make are with chicken, hamburger and chuck roast on sale. Pork chops on sale. I make my menu around the meat sales. One night a week we have homemade soup with bread or corn bread muffins. Tuesdays are always Taco Tuesdays. With Spanish rice and refried beans. Spagetti , salad and garlic bread, chili with whole kernel corn and corn bread, fried chicken, mashed potatoes and veggie,
Chicken fried rice and dumplings
You are indeed amazing, marvelous mother👍🏼😘 1 day 3 meals average for 12 persons total 36 meals per day. One week then will be 252 meals. Not counting any side dishes yet. Give you 100 thousands of loves and likes.
for a mom of 1 your day is a challenge youre supermom to me. i cant get enough how much love and effort you put to everything. you were born to be a mom od 10 :)
