It's just my husband and I but I do like to prep. He's a vegetarian from India, I'm a Midwest girl so we eat totally differently lol. Also, on these big hauls, if I have extra on hand then I know I can help others who may be having a hard time. Either by donating to them or making them a meal. During this pandemic we've even given toilet paper to people who couldn't get any from the stores. Now every time we go to Costco I grab a pack just for that reason. Yes, I have four big packs but my kids and/or neighbors won't be without if another shortage happens lol.
You are Smart, the ones that complain are Blind One must provide for his Famnily. You are a good person, you have two Chihuahuas anyone with two of them must be a Good Person!(you need to be a Chihuahua owner to understand).
A Costco manager in Austin, Texas told me that one of the goals of Costco is to keep families out of their store. They want you to shop once a month or once every two weeks and spend the rest of the time with your family. That really put their big sizes in perspective for me.
I can understand things like biscuits, hand wash but I fear you end up eating lots of food with preservatives if you want to stay awayfor months. I'm Asian maybe I can't relate.
When you said the 25lbs of rice will last your family a year.. my eyes widen. 😂 As an Asian, our family goes through 25kg of rice a month. So.. 50+lbs a month.
Well she shouldn’t be posting it online and shouldn’t have had that many children then. PERIOD. Y’all are ruining the earth with all this unsustainable bullshit.
@@corimoon3360 tf do you mean she shouldn't have that many children?! If she and her husband want to have a big, loving, happy family of their own, they have every right to do so. And she can post what she wants online. People who want to be negative and say stuff can easily mind their fucking business, and not say anything on what people can or can't do with THEIR life.

@@jaidynp1702 no, I'm completely alone. That area was just cheaper to eat in. I moved, food budget went up, and I will never have kaiser rolls again😭 they're 3x the cost here.
As someone who lives in a rural area where delivery isn’t a thing, heavy snows 8 months of the year & the closest Costco is 3hrs away: we do perishables in town(30mins away) but we only do day trips to Costco almost 3x a year and I’m dropping almost 2grand of 3 FULL carts to stock up for 6 months for non perishables. I feel you on the wierd looks people give you but when you have kids and you wanna avoid stores as much as humanly possible, you do what you gotta do🖤 I hate grocery shopping personally so I’ve always done huge hauls at a time😆
Be honest. After spending almost 4K and an entire day of shopping/loading/unloading and putting away groceries...did you order out for dinner?? Cause that’s what I would have done!! 😂😂😂
This lady mentioned freezer meals and it's quite possible to really think it through and have your meal ready to heat up when you get back home. Or even have a slow cooker meal prepped the night before and cooking throughout your shopping day. Anytime there's a challenging full-on day or week coming up, cooking & prepping food in advance is such a great help. Anything to help manage exhausting challenges, it's worth it all to be shopped up for six months :)
Edit: Woah! That was a lot of likes haha, thanks everyone! If you want breakdowns on other videos feel free to tag me 😊 So for anyone wondering how this is cost effective here is the breakdown: $3,700 dollars for on average 5 months of food Her family has 7 members $3,700 divided by 5 is $740 per month. That means each member of her family eats for about $105 a month, or if you're going by weeks $26 dollars a week or $3.77 per day per family member. This is extremely cost effective and smart.
@@vicoyeyemarz6508 exactly that is pretty average, people just shop differently. We go every 2-3 weeks but we would shop like this if we had more storage space.
As a mom of 5 myself, we shopped at BJ’s once a month and each trip we would spend $1200-$1500 hundred. That was 10-15 years ago. (mine are all grown up now) so I get why you are shopping the way you do! 💕✌️
Some probably think there is waste or some could be a little jealous because they cannot afford the food they need.Just an opinion.However people should do what works for them under their means.
@@theserpentcharmer1313 she didn’t hoard anything. Her variety was wide... she also has a family of 7. Is there a shortage of plastic wrap and aluminum pans currently? 🙄🤦♀️
Nobody leave any hate comments!!! This is smart! Who wants to be taking kids or themselves out in the winter in cold and flu season with Covid-19 topping it all!!!??? Any sickness could potentially cost more money!! You go girl! Feed your family!!
Our great great grandparents if they went to town, went by wagon once every month to two months if they were lucky. My great grandparents would have to make water biscuits and red eyed gravy, a gravy the was mostly bacon grease , cold coffee and corn meal or flour to thicken it, we are so blessed to get to shop at all 👍🏻😁
I have been scanning my receipts because I am terrible about shopping and realizing I forgot items for a recipe. I plan on making a master list so I know exactly what I use and can do this (to the extent we have storage because it's a small house). In the end it's cheaper because you eliminate a lot of impulse purchases.
I love this huge haul! If I had a bigger place I would be shopping like this! You go girl. We think alike. It’s better to eat home and have snacks for the car. The haters will hate no matter what. Pray for them. New Subscriber here!!
I want to see how you put all of this stuff up and organized. That would make an awesome video. I would totally do this if I had the room and a Costco.
Even a once a month shopping is better than going every week like most of us do. Many of the larger families on RUclips shop for a 1-3 month’s at a time.
Aww darling I can hear your puffed out towards the end. I remember I used to feel like that when I used to do grocery hauls. Appreciate all your effort in filming and showing us what you bought. Lots of yummy supplies for your gorgeous family. Love from Australia xx
I'm a mother of 5 as well (ages 20months to 15) and I love to stock up as well! I'm a single mom, so I don't get to go all out like this, but I wish I could! Costco is a great way of saving time and money if you work it right :)
It looks crazy, but every time we go to the store we rebuy what we’re out of, so in reality we all buy the same amount of stuff, just not all at the same time!
How do you plan for this kind of trip? I would love to see some of the prep work that goes into a shopping list for this. Also seeing how you store everything would be nice.
I live in France where we have markets twice a week (even in winter) or local producers shops (and supermarkets too!), I can't imagine doing so much shopping in one go 😳 Very interesting to see
I don’t have a big family or even any pets, it’s just me and my goal since January 2020 has been to have a 6 months supply of food and products. I pretty much have that now. I just need to top off some items. Of course fresh produce would need to be acquired every two weeks or so but with the coming food shortages and inflation, I should be pretty well set.
I lived in the interior of alaska and raised 6 children through blizzards and -50 to 60 below temps for 4-6 weeks at a time. Be prepared at all times. The time to fix the roof is when it sunshining. You prepare then you can help others and not be begging.
If I lived in a cold snowy place or a distance from Costco, I’d do the same. I love having food on hand, not worrying whether I have enough to make a meal. That was fun to watch!
This video showed up in my feed today and since I raised a large family, I watched the whole thing. And now I have to watch ALL your videos! Haha! You. Are. AWESOME!!! 🥰
I loved it when u said Basically “until your paying food bills, providing for my family your opinions doesn’t matter” i give u two thumbs up 👍🏾👍🏾. You go girl
Imagine hating on someone for providing for their family... Thanks for posting. It’s helpful to me to see what kind of things other people like/don’t buy so I don’t waste my money.
As a Canadian (in Alberta and close to the mountains), we get horrible blizzards and it’s so important to be stocked up for winter! You just never know what is going to happen. There could literally be weeks where we would be snowed in. It’s so sad that people have to justify things because people can be so cruel
I live in Jersey and i get it u hate shopping if i could do this i would but i have nowhere to put 1,200 1,500 2,000 or 3,600 dollars worth of food in my little apartment😩
Ya, Alberta has crazy weather. I'm in Manitoba, my Brother and Sister both live in Alberta and you guys get doozy storms!! lol We lived in the Arctic for 2 yrs and I would buy all my groceries for a year, except fresh stuff, to ship on the barge, I had it down to the last roll of toilet paper!! haha
@@corimoon3360 there is a difference between using your children’s emotion as clickbait and using the fact you have experience with parenting to make an informative channel.
I think you are a wonderful planner for your family food needs. Ignore negative comments and thanks fior sharing your “haul”. I’m a believer in stocking up but have not always been able to do so. Now I am doing a lot and love to see what other women are doing with prepping and stocking up! Bless your heart, honey…keep it up!
My mother in law is Hispanic and she advised me to open the uncooked tortillas and separate them before freezing so they don't stick, saved me a bunch of ripped up tortillas😁 she also freezes her garlic cloves😁 amazing as well comes right out of the case and so easy to smash
I love buying the Tortillaland uncooked tortillas at our local Costco; they are a staple in our house! I am looking to stock up on our food there next weekend. Thanks for this tip!
@@PsychoSusieHomemaker729 My husband did it and told me his mom showed him. We don't put anything in between and they come apart well, But you could. They have square sheets of parchment I could see being useful, they are not tortilla size but it would help.
Good haul. I was born & raised in Michigan and we definitely had food stockpiled for the winter months. We spent the summer canning fruits & vegetables, so we had fresh fruits and veggies throughout the cold winter months. We also had a deep freezer for all the meat. 👍
Yeah what business is it of theirs? I love seeing how other people live. I live alone so this is totally bizarre to me. I’m grateful people put stuff up to give me a glimpse.
After doing the math you spent roughly a lil bit over $150 a week for a family of 7. I must say thats amazing. I know a family of 5 who spend close to $1200 a month on groceries.
we went through a freeze with no lights and no water for three days....I wasn’t thinking all that would happen because where we lived at it don’t get cold enough. So I think it’s smart what you did for your family In the winter ....keep you guys safe and you don’t have to worry about going out in the winter storm/snow......
I live by myself in Texas, where it never snows (except apparently in Feb. of 2021). I can never imagine this much food in my house! It makes so much sense when you have a family of 7, but for my little single self I don't think I have ever seen that much food bought at once! It blows my mind that it will last 4-6 months!
@In Som I don't understand this. Maybe people have been giving me the stink eye too but I just haven't noticed. Why would someone be upset because of how many supplies you buy? It never occurred to me that others would be judging me.
I just wanna say thank you. Watching this video and then going and watching some of your other videos has given me some great ideas on how to save money and my time. I didn't even know I could freeze anything other than meat and frozen meals bought from the shops. Appreciate the great Sharing thank you
Fantastic haul but I’m so exhausted for you. You have a lot of work ahead of you. Wish I could give you a hand.... I don’t know why people have to be so cruel and negative. When you beak your haul down, $125.00 a week for a family of 7 is wonderful.I watch Tiffany over at Large Family Love and she does a budget of $400 to $600 monthly w a family of 7. I think you both are amazing. So pay no heed to those who can’t say anything nice. Take it easy and God bless you n your family.
Our last costco trip was almost 500$, just for me and my husband. I also supply snacks for my employees, and often cook extra for my parents and one of our neighbors. I love that you shop to stock up for months!
Wow!!! THANK YOU 4 not just sharing your groceries, but also ideas upon what to do wit it. And the prices on some of them. And as far as you doing a big haul, hey you do you. I don't like shopping in the cold either. I know Michigan gets really cold. 😇
Dangggg I can’t imagine going to the store like this twice a year. How cool is that...two days of hard work out of the year. Sounds super convenient and overall cheaper in the long run.
I'm a minute and a half in, and I've just go to say: If you have the income, and you are able to budget so you can spend $3700 in a Costco haul for things you NEED, then more power to you!! You're going to spend the money eventually over time buying the same things. You may as well buy in bulk and save in the long run. Also...tax write off for turning it into content. 💁♀️👍
I love that you don't care what others think of your shopping choices...yup you don't have to defend anything you do for your family . i feel the same way !
The feeling of a well stocked pantry/fridge and freezer is amazing. The blessings you have to provide for your family and have that peace of mind is wonderful.
Dear, stockpiling for a huge family, esp with kids and elders and just for the sake of not going out to save time, money, and energy, or to just be prepared for anything.esp nowadays, plus for the winter and the holidays,. makes all the sense in the world, amazing haul.. love it, stay safe
How you organize & do your grocery hauls is totally your business.🛒🙃 What works for you and your family is the only thing that matters. New subscriber here!👋🏾 Love your haul & healthy selections.👌🏾 Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the advice! I just started bread class in pastry school and started wondering about it just sitting in my cabinet. Do you have to thaw it before you use it at all?
The hate commenters are wrong. You cannot feed and care for a family of 7 by going to the super market every week. And it does make sense if you do the math. Good for you, dear. And thank you for making those videos AND taking care of your loved ones! ❤️
@Lila Sil. Im not a hater. But you absolutely can feed a family of 7 by going to grocery store weekly. Especially if your organized. But she is just choosing to do it different and do what works for her and her family. I highly doubt every family of 7 does this. Glad it works for her.
@youareminealways probably only buying food. She bought way more than just food. She also said she is a family of 7 & they have a new baby. Babies alone cost a lot. Diapers, wipes, formula, medicine, clothes, etc. She did just fine when it gets broken done weekly.
@youareminealways and not everyone chooses to do that. Doesn't matter. It's not your family, not your money, not your life. She isn't hurting anyone. It's not like she cleaned out the store. It's Costco for God sake. They rarely ever run out of anything because they are constantly getting shipments, not to mention their huge freezers that are stocked full. There is no reason to hate on someone for taking care of their family. NONE
@youareminealways you know not all women can breastfeed. And while it may be cheaper to not buy in bulk. We’re in the 2nd wave of COVID-19 . She wants to stay out of stores as long as possible to avoid catching it and spreading it. Children and elderly are at the highest risk of having deadly complications from it.
It made me smile When you brought up the baby bell cheeses and said “which someone already got into”. I was that kid with my family and would do that every time mom bought groceries. I’d grab one on the car ride home and would munch away in the back seat. That cheese is so good! Ah such nostalgic memories. :)
I live in Sweden and I miss Costco so much ❤️ i hope they decide to open here in the future. Amazing haul! Just the time to show us it all must have taken forever 🙌🏻
I completely understand the need to do this especially with all those kids! My only suggestion is if you’re gonna spend all that money on ziplock bags every time it would be more cost effective just to invest in Stasher bags, plus so much better for the environment 😊
I love grocery hauls,mostly because in Greece we don't have this much variety of everything like you do, especially in the freezer section.Don't pay any attention to the haters, they're just jealous!!
Oh my god, I had to laugh when you said the plastic wrap lasted 5 years....no joke! I just ran out of the first one I ever bought at costco, 7 years ago!!!!! LOL
OMG. All I can I say I would not want to put that all away. I shop 1 month at a time for a family of 4 and it is a big enough load to put up. Hats off!
If I lived in a cold climate I would definitely be stocking up for the winter. Question: can you please do more videos on how you use all the food? Like meal videos? Thanks
I'm not sure why I watched this all the way through, but you have five blessed kids and a very fortunate husband. It's awesome to see a mom who is so engaged and enthusiastic. God bless you and your family.
What do you guys think? 🤔 Do you like to prep and have extra food on hand for winter??? ❄️
Please 😍
Yes! I also live in Michigan but have never seen some of these at Costco. Which Costco do you go to??
It's just my husband and I but I do like to prep. He's a vegetarian from India, I'm a Midwest girl so we eat totally differently lol.

Our great great grandparents if they went to town, went by wagon once every month to two months if they were lucky. My great grandparents would have to make water biscuits and red eyed gravy, a gravy the was mostly bacon grease , cold coffee and corn meal or flour to thicken it, we are so blessed to get to shop at all 👍🏻😁
Sherri, you are correct. When I was diagnosed with Covid in June, my daughter who is 19, needed to make multiple trips for missing ingredients.
I have been scanning my receipts because I am terrible about shopping and realizing I forgot items for a recipe. I plan on making a master list so I know exactly what I use and can do this (to the extent we have storage because it's a small house). In the end it's cheaper because you eliminate a lot of impulse purchases.
I agree just hate when she keeps saying tadty hate that word
well, might be better to call it a stock up then a haul. lotta people think a haul is when you get a super deal on everything
When you go shopping whilst hungry
Seriously tho 😂
Right?🤣
I love this huge haul!
If I had a bigger place I would be shopping like this! You go girl. We think alike. It’s better to eat home and have snacks for the car.
The haters will hate no matter what. Pray for them. New Subscriber here!!
Time lapse of you putting away a giant haul would be awesome. Betcha it would garner a million views!
I want to see how you put all of this stuff up and organized. That would make an awesome video. I would totally do this if I had the room and a Costco.
I would do this kind of shopping if I had the room and money for it.
Yes would be a good video, I’m also looking forward to the freezer meals video :)
Hell if i had the money id do it. Instead i spend 300 a month at costco
that’s the smartest way to shop...instead of going to the store every single week.
I feel like there is always something to buy - new products and Costco has great sales too monthly.
I completely agree!! If you think about it, you’re more likely to spend more on those 2&3 trips etc. so she’s a smart shopper 🥰
Yes! Get it all done in one stop. Also, new to your channel. Great video, thanks for sharing. 🥰
Even a once a month shopping is better than going every week like most of us do. Many of the larger families on RUclips shop for a 1-3 month’s at a time.
I personally love shopping every week
Actually, it would be really satisfying to store and organize your groceries
Aww darling I can hear your puffed out towards the end. I remember I used to feel like that when I used to do grocery hauls. Appreciate all your effort in filming and showing us what you bought. Lots of yummy supplies for your gorgeous family. Love from Australia xx
You should show how you organise everything you bought in your drawers and fridge ☺️
$4000 for 5 months with 7 people and 2 dogs? THATS SO COST EFFECTIVE.
no, $3699 for 2 months, 7 people and 2 dogs
@@hannahk6481 33.44 she said she is hoping not to go back for six months . I think 5 months will last her good
@@kickasses2121 she said they shop every 2 months tho
@@hannahk6481 must have missed that . 🤦🏻♀️
Yeah I heard 6 months too with is over 600 a month and then she will still need to go to get produce etc in between
I'm a mother of 5 as well (ages 20months to 15) and I love to stock up as well! I'm a single mom, so I don't get to go all out like this, but I wish I could! Costco is a great way of saving time and money if you work it right :)
It looks crazy, but every time we go to the store we rebuy what we’re out of, so in reality we all buy the same amount of stuff, just not all at the same time!
I'd like to see how she stores everything.
My thoughts too!!
Me too! How do some of these foods last a whole 6 months. I need all the details 🙏🏽
I just watched a 35 minute video of a mama telling us what she got at Costco..... and I didn't hate it. 🥰 Well done!!!
Didn’t even realize how long it was until I saw this comment... at the end of the video
I'm at the age where this sort of stuff excites me.
Same as fridge, laundry and pantry re stocking videos
How do you plan for this kind of trip? I would love to see some of the prep work that goes into a shopping list for this. Also seeing how you store everything would be nice.
I’d really like to see her storage room or rooms(?).
I live in France where we have markets twice a week (even in winter) or local producers shops (and supermarkets too!), I can't imagine doing so much shopping in one go 😳
Very interesting to see
I don’t have a big family or even any pets, it’s just me and my goal since January 2020 has been to have a 6 months supply of food and products. I pretty much have that now. I just need to top off some items. Of course fresh produce would need to be acquired every two weeks or so but with the coming food shortages and inflation, I should be pretty well set.
I totally understand stockpiling for winter. It makes absolute sense.
Agreed!! We have been trying to do the same too!
Especially with the way this year has gone! Stockpiling it just smart all around! 👍🏻
My family and I just went to the store to stock up because we’re expecting our city to get shut down again soon
I lived in the interior of alaska and raised 6 children through blizzards and -50 to 60 below temps for 4-6 weeks at a time. Be prepared at all times. The time to fix the roof is when it sunshining. You prepare then you can help others and not be begging.
There is nothing wrong with being prepared, especially with kids.
If I lived in a cold snowy place or a distance from Costco, I’d do the same. I love having food on hand, not worrying whether I have enough to make a meal. That was fun to watch!
This video showed up in my feed today and since I raised a large family, I watched the whole thing. And now I have to watch ALL your videos! Haha!
You. Are. AWESOME!!! 🥰
I loved it when u said Basically “until your paying food bills, providing for my family your opinions doesn’t matter” i give u two thumbs up 👍🏾👍🏾. You go girl
Yes yes.
Imagine hating on someone for providing for their family...
Thanks for posting. It’s helpful to me to see what kind of things other people like/don’t buy so I don’t waste my money.
I love how mindful you are about what you feed your family.
Girl, I just know those frozen items are melting and it's killing me 😆 🤣
Oh really. Chrissy. How are you doing?
Love this...great job...the house is probably cold so she had a little time to film before freezer stuff needed to be put away...but haul so far👏👏👏👏❤❤
As a Canadian (in Alberta and close to the mountains), we get horrible blizzards and it’s so important to be stocked up for winter! You just never know what is going to happen. There could literally be weeks where we would be snowed in. It’s so sad that people have to justify things because people can be so cruel
i lived in alaska for 3 years i totally understand this!!
I live in Jersey and i get it u hate shopping if i could do this i would but i have nowhere to put 1,200 1,500 2,000 or 3,600 dollars worth of food in my little apartment😩
@@GP4288 yes that would suck! Lots of us have basements that we can use for food storage luckily. I don’t know what we would do without it
Ya, Alberta has crazy weather. I'm in Manitoba, my Brother and Sister both live in Alberta and you guys get doozy storms!! lol We lived in the Arctic for 2 yrs and I would buy all my groceries for a year, except fresh stuff, to ship on the barge, I had it down to the last roll of toilet paper!! haha
As an asian, that 1 sack of rice will last a family of 4 in a week. 😂
If that's for 7 people, maybe it would last a month for Asians. The first thing I thought was that it was too little rice!
I was gonna say the same... 1 yr for that bag is too long..
We go thru that size bag like crazy lol
Not Asian but def same. I was shocked when she said it lasts her a year.
I went through a 25lbs of rice myself in about a year and a half. 😂
😂😂
If I had 5 kids this is exactly what would be doing too. It probably takes you a few days go write out a grocery list. Love your channel 🥰🥰
I can't even buy food for 2 weeks without it to go bad... eventually.. so..looking forward to learn how to do that ❤️
Most “family channels” are about exploiting their kid’s feeling, but her’s is actually about parenting!
It’s really not. She’s exploiting them just as much. Y’all really think she ain’t doing this just for money? Lmao
@@corimoon3360 there is a difference between using your children’s emotion as clickbait and using the fact you have experience with parenting to make an informative channel.
@@corimoon3360 How is she "exploiting" them?
I laughed in African when she said her rice lasts for a year. That bag of rice will last 2 months tops in an African home 😂😂😂
that bag of rice is like two weeks for us. Family of 5 - Philippines
I too laughed 😁 For my family of 3 (Asian family), her rice will last about 1 month lol
I’m Mexican and can agree lol
I'm from the Caribbean, we can definitely relate
In my country 3 weeks
She is so organized! Thats amazing I would literally end up in a pure mess
I think you are a wonderful planner for your family food needs. Ignore negative comments and thanks fior sharing your “haul”. I’m a believer in stocking up but have not always been able to do so. Now I am doing a lot and love to see what other women are doing with prepping and stocking up! Bless your heart, honey…keep it up!
My mother in law is Hispanic and she advised me to open the uncooked tortillas and separate them before freezing so they don't stick, saved me a bunch of ripped up tortillas😁 she also freezes her garlic cloves😁 amazing as well comes right out of the case and so easy to smash
I love buying the Tortillaland uncooked tortillas at our local Costco; they are a staple in our house! I am looking to stock up on our food there next weekend. Thanks for this tip!
Wow thanks for the tips!
@@PsychoSusieHomemaker729 My husband did it and told me his mom showed him. We don't put anything in between and they come apart well, But you could. They have square sheets of parchment I could see being useful, they are not tortilla size but it would help.
I was thinking of freezing our garlic. May I ask the specifics of how she freezes her garlic?
@@christenkieffner i just put the cloves in a Mason jar on the door
I look forward to the day that I can afford to do these massive Costco hauls myself. But I have to finish nursing school first!
How can anyone hate on this epic haul? You're a flipping genius figuring out this couponing.
Good haul. I was born & raised in Michigan and we definitely had food stockpiled for the winter months. We spent the summer canning fruits & vegetables, so we had fresh fruits and veggies throughout the cold winter months. We also had a deep freezer for all the meat. 👍
You get hate comments for "your" grocery haul. People nowadays are mental, mad & screwed up in so many ways.
For real lol
Agreed 👍
For reals!!!! I get dirty looks and horrible comments at the stores all the time
Yeah what business is it of theirs? I love seeing how other people live. I live alone so this is totally bizarre to me. I’m grateful people put stuff up to give me a glimpse.
People are miserable and want everyone to be miserable.
After doing the math you spent roughly a lil bit over $150 a week for a family of 7. I must say thats amazing. I know a family of 5 who spend close to $1200 a month on groceries.
Yes but she actually COOK'S her family meals.
we went through a freeze with no lights and no water for three days....I wasn’t thinking all that would happen because where we lived at it don’t get cold enough. So I think it’s smart what you did for your family In the winter ....keep you guys safe and you don’t have to worry about going out in the winter storm/snow......
I live by myself in Texas, where it never snows (except apparently in Feb. of 2021). I can never imagine this much food in my house! It makes so much sense when you have a family of 7, but for my little single self I don't think I have ever seen that much food bought at once! It blows my mind that it will last 4-6 months!
You’re smart to stock up for winter. The haters can get a life
my momwould stock up cases of veggies the deep freezer some winters are nastier than others
@In Som I don't understand this. Maybe people have been giving me the stink eye too but I just haven't noticed. Why would someone be upset because of how many supplies you buy? It never occurred to me that others would be judging me.
Haters can go elsewhere u don't need that rubbish
Use a Ball jar and freeze the yeast; keeps forever as works fantastic
The haters are going to be hungry when you're not. Carry on.
Nobody should ever judge you on what you spend on your family. God bless you
AMEN
She is doing her best to be prepared for her family. I wish more would do so as she is part of the solution and not a problem.
yeah they should she put it on the internet DUHHH
I just wanna say thank you. Watching this video and then going and watching some of your other videos has given me some great ideas on how to save money and my time. I didn't even know I could freeze anything other than meat and frozen meals bought from the shops. Appreciate the great Sharing thank you
I found your channel yesterday and I can’t stop watching your videos. They are so calming and satisfying
Fantastic haul but I’m so exhausted for you. You have a lot of work ahead of you. Wish I could give you a hand....
I don’t know why people have to be so cruel and negative. When you beak your haul down, $125.00 a week for a family of 7 is wonderful.I watch Tiffany over at Large Family Love and she does a budget of $400 to $600 monthly w a family of 7. I think you both are amazing.
So pay no heed to those who can’t say anything nice.
Take it easy and God bless you n your family.
They are keyboard bullies. No life what so ever. I'm so proud of her for shopping the way she did.
What I’m trying to figure out is how she transported all the stuff from Costco back to her house!
@@jessicaqu me too lol
I immediately subscribed for the “if you don’t feed my kids & don’t live in my house...”comment. Then she said she was from
The mitten...SOLD
Michigan proud! Winter prep is a cultural thing just like Hurricane prep is a cultural thing in Florida.
Same! GR here 👋
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love from Michigan ❤️
It's starting to get real cold
Our last costco trip was almost 500$, just for me and my husband. I also supply snacks for my employees, and often cook extra for my parents and one of our neighbors. I love that you shop to stock up for months!
Wow!!! THANK YOU 4 not just sharing your groceries, but also ideas upon what to do wit it. And the prices on some of them. And as far as you doing a big haul, hey you do you. I don't like shopping in the cold either. I know Michigan gets really cold. 😇
Dangggg I can’t imagine going to the store like this twice a year. How cool is that...two days of hard work out of the year. Sounds super convenient and overall cheaper in the long run.
How are you doing?
I'm a minute and a half in, and I've just go to say: If you have the income, and you are able to budget so you can spend $3700 in a Costco haul for things you NEED, then more power to you!! You're going to spend the money eventually over time buying the same things. You may as well buy in bulk and save in the long run.
Also...tax write off for turning it into content. 💁♀️👍
Im tired just imagining that grocery trip 😂 but after the snow storm we had in Texas I am totally doing this just incase.
I love that you don't care what others think of your shopping choices...yup you don't have to defend anything you do for your family . i feel the same way !
The feeling of a well stocked pantry/fridge and freezer is amazing. The blessings you have to provide for your family and have that peace of mind is wonderful.
Dear, stockpiling for a huge family, esp with kids and elders and just for the sake of not going out to save time, money, and energy, or to just be prepared for anything.esp nowadays, plus for the winter and the holidays,. makes all the sense in the world, amazing haul.. love it, stay safe
How you organize & do your grocery hauls is totally your business.🛒🙃 What works for you and your family is the only thing that matters. New subscriber here!👋🏾 Love your haul & healthy selections.👌🏾 Thanks for sharing!
How old are your kids? I cant imagine how much this haul will grow when they are teenagers!😱
Tabitha, for the yeast I put mine in a mason jar in the freezer. It's been there for 6 months and I'm still making bread and rolls with it.
Thank you for this! I am definitely going to Costco to get bulk yeast.
@@emkiarwhstbi you're very welcome!
Yup i do the same... lasts forever!
Does freezing not kill the yeast? Just curious I've never thought of freezing
Thanks for the advice! I just started bread class in pastry school and started wondering about it just sitting in my cabinet. Do you have to thaw it before you use it at all?
The hate commenters are wrong. You cannot feed and care for a family of 7 by going to the super market every week. And it does make sense if you do the math. Good for you, dear. And thank you for making those videos AND taking care of your loved ones!
❤️
@Lila Sil. Im not a hater. But you absolutely can feed a family of 7 by going to grocery store weekly. Especially if your organized. But she is just choosing to do it different and do what works for her and her family. I highly doubt every family of 7 does this. Glad it works for her.
??? We were a family of 7. My mom shopped weekly and not even in bulk. We were on a tight budget, but that was years ago. I'm in my 30s.
@youareminealways probably only buying food. She bought way more than just food. She also said she is a family of 7 & they have a new baby. Babies alone cost a lot. Diapers, wipes, formula, medicine, clothes, etc. She did just fine when it gets broken done weekly.
@youareminealways and not everyone chooses to do that. Doesn't matter. It's not your family, not your money, not your life. She isn't hurting anyone. It's not like she cleaned out the store. It's Costco for God sake. They rarely ever run out of anything because they are constantly getting shipments, not to mention their huge freezers that are stocked full. There is no reason to hate on someone for taking care of their family. NONE
@youareminealways you know not all women can breastfeed. And while it may be cheaper to not buy in bulk. We’re in the 2nd wave of COVID-19 . She wants to stay out of stores as long as possible to avoid catching it and spreading it. Children and elderly are at the highest risk of having deadly complications from it.
It made me smile When you brought up the baby bell cheeses and said “which someone already got into”. I was that kid with my family and would do that every time mom bought groceries. I’d grab one on the car ride home and would munch away in the back seat. That cheese is so good! Ah such nostalgic memories. :)
I live in Sweden and I miss Costco so much ❤️ i hope they decide to open here in the future. Amazing haul! Just the time to show us it all must have taken forever 🙌🏻
I completely understand the need to do this especially with all those kids! My only suggestion is if you’re gonna spend all that money on ziplock bags every time it would be more cost effective just to invest in Stasher bags, plus so much better for the environment 😊
This makes my heart so full. I don’t know why, but I love seeing what Mammas buy for their household (and I love Sam’s club/ Costco hauls)
God bless you! i’m so happy God provided you with this blessing to have this much food! 🥰🥰
If I had that much food I would never have to go to the store again. Little family of 3 ❤
I love grocery hauls,mostly because in Greece we don't have this much variety of everything like you do, especially in the freezer section.Don't pay any attention to the haters, they're just jealous!!
its no true
With the pandemic and a possible shut down that can happen again, this is something I would do if I had a big family.
This is giving me some good tips and ideas on what to buy for my family. Especially with a husband and daughter with black holes as stomachs.
I love that you dont obly buy for buying, you also care about ingredients and nutrients
Oh my god, I had to laugh when you said the plastic wrap lasted 5 years....no joke! I just ran out of the first one I ever bought at costco, 7 years ago!!!!! LOL
It’s crazy!
Haha me too it lasts forever
I bought plastic wrap there once when my kids were small & I know it lasted like 2 years.
My grandfather bought his replacement before running out, didn’t open the replacement for two years. Those thing legit last FOREVER
Agree. Tin foil too. Years!!
I couldn't, my cravings change all the time so what I want one week i may not want to eat again for a month lmao
😄I thought I was the only one that happens to!
Then she got stuff they never tried in bulk what they don’t like it 😂
I remember going with my mom on big shopping trips to sam's club and the commissary. Best memories
OMG. All I can I say I would not want to put that all away. I shop 1 month at a time for a family of 4 and it is a big enough load to put up. Hats off!
If I lived in a cold climate I would definitely be stocking up for the winter. Question: can you please do more videos on how you use all the food? Like meal videos? Thanks
I'm not sure why I watched this all the way through, but you have five blessed kids and a very fortunate husband. It's awesome to see a mom who is so engaged and enthusiastic. God bless you and your family.
If I could grocery shop once, every 3-4 months, I DEFINITELY WOULD. Loved it!! I wish you showed us where you put it all 😆
