She is the text book definition of american consumerism. I'm not saying it's only her all of us should be mindful about when we spend , what we ré buying it's not good for the planet and it's not matter of how much you can spend.
@@lilbwitty02 She has ELEVEN children, many of whom are teenagers!!!! I thought she bought too much junk at one time, but I've spent time watching her videos and I've seen the very nutritious meals she prepares.
@ I’m aware of how many children she has. The whole world is. If she’s actually making them three “healthy” meals a day, what possible need do they have for ALLLLLL that junk?! Think about it.
Please remember she's feeding 13 each have there own favorites/allergies just because she posts her shopping trips they could be months apart plus shes allowance for people joining them for birthdays and other events i understand it might seem extreme but i think she knows what shes doing thank you
But $4,000 a week!? Going grocery shopping on Monday seems to be part of her regular week, but even if shopping was once a month, $4,000? But, she’s a great mom and she has tremendous energy. I wish her the best.
@@carolrainbolt5669 did you see the price of some of the things she was buying? she has to triple almost every single item.....it adds up, especially with birthday parties as well.
We eat like kings on $125 a week for two people. Scratch cooking. Balanced meals. Snacks and indulge in prime beef when we eat beef. I shop the sales and stock up on deals. I have several buddies who are chefs and have managed chain restaurants for marquee chefs. I made one watch a couple of these videos for prospective. His response was for $3,500 a week she could hire a chef to shop, prep and cook for about 12 hours a week and make custom meals for the family’s dietary needs including all the food. There would be up front costs to buy proper food storage containers that would be commercial grade and clean up the pantry, freezers and fridges to meet proper food handling guidelines. That would likely be a one time expense. If said hired chef was told there was a tight budget on the food say only $25 per person per day the food costs would be $2,100 a week which would still be about half of what she spends including the chef wages. Upside is, healthy food, gourmet meals, at least a 20 hour a week timesaver for her and a manageable pantry. Now that would be some interesting content.
If I shopped like this, I’d get so overwhelmed by the amount of crap that would constantly be in my vehicle, house, all in the way to stumble over. Goodness. There’s beauty in a minimalistic life.
She could send $5000 to Florida, Georgia, NC and not shop for a month and still be fine. Except maybe milk. Smh such a waste and soooooo incredibly selfish
You do realize she has 13 people to feed. Now 13x3=39 meals for the day. So 39×7=273 a week. They have friends that come over. Plus, she plans for parties, which means more people. If you look at the craziness that has become this world. With all the people she has to make sure are fed. I would keep my food supply stocked up to the rafters. Unless you are paying her bills or dont like her, simply mosey on to a different sight
What is the purpose of mini Gatorade bottles? Can’t you just take half out of a bottle or use a reusable water bottle? Seems like an awful lot of single use plastics, even if they are being recycled (I’m not sure if they are?)
We buy the minis in my house because we get them for my girls' sports teams every week. They also never go through an entire bottle of the big ones so it's wasteful, at least in our home to get the large ones.
Considering you have such a big family you don’t buy very much fruit and veg ! So many packets of crisps and sweets . I know it’s party time for your family it isn’t much different from your normal food hauls .
My family of 4 goes through about 2 to 4 big packages of strawberries plus apples and bananas a week. And the kids are the ones usually eating the berries. I wonder if they were offered more fruit if they’d eat more fruit? Sometimes it’s about changing habits. Don’t get me wrong I have an autistic child, so I know it’s hard to get them to eat new things or just eat at all sometimes. But I agree with what you’re saying.
@@jodeemackenzie there have been videos where she does like a day in the life and cleaning up meals and the berries are just left. Same with the salad. Not touched. I think if they didn’t have all the junk they would eat healthier. The amount of cereal she buys just tells me they aren’t eating what she makes, that’s just for the video, they eat the cereal.

Let’s say that you spend $4500 a month on groceries that is $54,000 a year. I haven’t watched many of yr videos but what does yr husband do? Do you get extra income from the government or for yr children. But, you also have one other videos where you spend $1500 a week. I watched a video where you had a virus running through yr home and you bought 3 containers of disinfectant wipes. It seems that you overbuy. The amount of money you spend is incredible really. I guess you don’t need to budget since you have so much money to spend. I am not questioning yr parenting skills or how you run yr household as you are up early and provide yr children a hot breakfast but I am just shocked at the amount of money you spend on groceries not including clothing, utilities, extracurricular activities, mortgage or car payments.

Because she’s being lazy, she has a dishwasher she can use regular plates like everybody else. Does she just lazy? I think I think our husband does dishes.
She spends 250k a year alone if not more just on food shopping, I can't imagine their debts. To specify food shopping bc were not factoring in all their clothing, shoes, activities, electronics, toys and so on
Last year she spent almost a million on what she showed. Josh on his blog added her shopping trips up and it was very close to a million crap foods and so wasteful
Prime drinks are terrible for you especially kids should not be allowed to drink them 200 mg of caffeine which will give heart palpitations cause anxiety and the shakes ,that’s what you call good parenting not allowing your kids to consume that Alicia maybe you should show your kids some discipline
@@darkshinexo well Alicia sure can’t raise kids someone has to speak up for those kids and try to protect them she’s slowly killing them just for views
Video idea: do a Q & A with the most commonly asked questions that your fans have. Put up a post where people can comment what questions they have for you. Then do a video.
She could shop her pantry for at least a month and not make a dent in it

God help the people your kids marry...they will have to be millionaires to cover food costs. Millions of kids starving and living on the streets susceptible to predators!
Wow u have a family as large as hers and could feed them for a whole year for less than 5k? That’s impressive. Groceries must be cheaper where u are… she lives in New York I believe. I went there once, everything was a small fortune. They can afford it, who am I to judge how they choose to live their lives or what brings them happiness or how they should spend their money tho, right?
I have been following you for quite some time and I read a lot of the comments. I cannot believe how awful people are if you have the money to spend and you spend it on your family I don’t see anything wrong with how much you spend. I see love I see a mother who puts her whole entire heart and soul into her family. What no one sees is the day today 24 hour care Love commitment that you put in to adopt children and take on any of their struggles and make their world incredible it’s just bonuses. I think you’re a wonderful person and keep making videos. Keep being yourself spend what you want and live how you want. We only get one life and you’re doing great with yours. I hope this comment super sees all the negative XOXO. Thank you for making me a better mother.
Alicia I don't want to upset you, but you know you're getting old when the sight of a product in a new resealable bag makes you happy lol. Best wishes from Northern Ireland.
notice how she stops and contemplates what she needs to buy. its because you have them all at home! you don't need to buy anything for months but you choose to. imagine the amount of garbage their household produces! geez!

@mikesgirlfinnegan1652 girl, she aint the only mom here on youtube feeding a huge family. Try and search for others. See how they budget and make wise healthy decisions when grocery shopping.
@@LynetteStephenson-jw5xz Right! If you look at other large families, the kids help with the shopping, setting the table, clearing the table and washing dishes, laundry, etc. She doesn't make those kids do a lick of work, and they will be a mess when they're on their own.
If I remember correctly, she said that something in their house broke and they need to be careful of how much water they use up. So they only use it for hygiene and not cleaning plates, hence why the paper plates until it gets fixed. Something like this.
I spend, no joke $300/week for a family of 6. That with 2 grown kids and 2 smaller. That includes everything for our home. We are not poor, but budgeting and buying less helps keep us that way.
I owned a family restaurant for years and years. I spent on average 2500-2800 to feed 1200 orders a week. Including beverages, but that did not include paper products?? I’ve never seen anything like this. I’ve never understood how you could even pay for groceries???
I don’t get why they make you bag the two big bags of chips to get the offer? Surely it would be better for those bags just to have the offer on them and it gets taken off on the till when there are two. The world is supposed to be cutting down on plastic bags not using more (for no reason). Just curious, does USA do any recycling? Here in the UK we have recycling collections for cardboard packaging and paper, plastic bottles and trays, foil trays, tin cans, drink cans etc, glass, garden waste, food waste. None of these items can go in our black refuse sacks and have to be washed out (if needed) before going in the recycling bag. Shopping we have reusable bags and have to pay for a plastic bag at the store if we needed one. We also have local recycling schemes for other items like pet food pouches and various other things which cannot go in our council recycling bag. These usually get collected to raise money for charities.
I am generally curious, in two weeks you've posted 3 grocery haul videos with a total of $12,560.77. I understand you have a large family, and you have you food atorage but even 3k would be a lot for 2 weeks!!
Why do you spend so much time picking the produce, making sure the berries are not bad etc, only to put the produce at the bottom of the cart and putting heavy frozen goods, meats etc on top, squashing all of that beautiful fresh produce below?
Just a helpful and sincere suggestion. All that sugar,wheat and food colorings is one of the worst things for anyone with autism and other similar disorders.
Alicia do you know why your iron levels are low? I had low levels for years until one different doctor one day said I needed to get tested for coeliac disease. And guess what my results came back positive 😱
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that SWEATER!! Can you please share or is it in your Amazon storefront where you got it because now I think I want one or is it...I NEED it!!!!
Hi from ireland. Absolutely love your food hauls. I used to random shop last minute descisons on dinners. And always felt stressed. Now i dedicate my saturdays to getting the every 2 week big shop. I do out my weekly meals then shop for them items alone. Your so organised. ❤ also happy birthday boys. Im sure ye had a great time 🎉🎉
Because they also drink almond milk and 1 brand certainly can taste different then another. Besides that, some of the kids have autism, their brain function different, so seeing another package can make them think it isn't the same product.
@@2steppin2Vegas then I am glad you don't have a kid with autism. I do! And that is not me trying to be mean. But sometimes brands really do matter. I am in no means wealthy, I am on a low income, but some things my daughter just refuses to eat if it is a different brand, and yes I have tried, she just doesn't eat. And in this case fed is best!
I feel like they are a very wasteful family. The amount of stuff she buys each week is just disgusting when you think about all the suffering going on in the world. I bet there is an organisation close to her that she could help out.
If you watch her other videos she does hep others out. When they go on their beach vacation any food they gave at the end they donate to a local shelter. They also help out the families of they children they have adopted - they have even had a nephew of one of the families stay with them and bought the diapers and formula they needed. Leave her alone - she earns what she spends and is not hurting you. How do you know that they do not donate money as well - she may not want to announce this.
I enjoy how organized you are with your shopping lists and meal planning. I have a family of four and get overwhelmed shopping. I’m going to try your method. Your hair looks awesome. I know you get a lot of mean comments, but I’m sitting here thinking how brilliant you are shopping for 13 people and parties, and people are watching your videos and getting angry, but I’m going to assume your groceries end up being free due to the RUclips money. Very smart. 😉
I hope you atleast return/recycle all those water bottles and whatever else you pay the bottle deposits on but we all know you dont. The amount of bottled waste yall produce is disgusting. I feel bad for the poor suckers your children marry and how wasteful they become as adults. Ny has the cleanest drinking water, or get a filter if youre pretencious. There's no reason for this amount of massive waste every week. If you lived alone i could say whatever but so many of you overconsuming in this manner you need to be held accountable. Get a filter and reusable bottle, and your kids dont need the rest of the garbage drinks
Hi @Doughtydozen thank you for still doing these sort of vlogs your shopping ones give me inspiration to do my own, great news we've just started to stock Cheez-its they are very yummy, all we need now is goldfish and the little Pringle cups...😮
Hi Alicia,you are one busy lady...Happy Birthday to the twins and Dayshawn🎉🎉🎉 ... Hope their birthdays are a day full of surprises and lasting memories😊❤
500 pounds of crap..sweets and chips and one bag of green beans. This woman is doing this, solely ti create controversy and increase viewership. It’s a con!
She should buy a cow and a pig for her freezers and shop organic from Azure Standard with the money she makes. Her kids need to eat cleaner and healthier. She shops like this for content. She doesn’t care that her kids eat junk.
Emergency purse iron, lol. My family, friends and co-workers use to.say I had a "Magic" bag. I had a small purse,but carried a tote or back pack with me with my " just in case you need" items and yes I had vitamins in my bag.
My reminder to you...STOCKup on all Baking Supplies to get you through NewYears..NOW. Same for Spices and Herbs. Barrillo is NONGMO. Much better grade of Pasta. Walmart and store brands are GMO grain. I'm excited to see you use the Club Stores for Pantry Items.
You should make laminated papers that say Reserved Dougherty. Set them on top of each cart or flatbed when you finish shopping with it to prevent restocking. You can attach them to your clipboard
@@robynhogle2435 idk in her vids she gives each kid a small bag in their lunch bag and let's them pick a snack by the end of the day so pherhaps she's storing all of that. Honestly idk and idc much
Why do you have to put the chips that are already in bags in another plastic bag ?That's just a big waste, hopefully you use that for a trash can liner or something
I wish for just once I could buy this groceries everything in the store for my children I've never been able to buy a grocery store for my children that's something that I really would have loved to do for my children just one big shop and didn't don't even think about the prices
We all do what we can. I don't have this kind of money to spend either but I like watching Alicia shop. You love your kids and you are doing a great job! Have a nice day.
Can't wait to see the new vlog and hope you guys have a great Monday afternoon and evening with the kids and can't wait to see the BJ'S and Wegmans grocery haul for your family of 13.
Try a no spend week & make your meal plan off what you have.

All the junk she gets vs healthy foods
Every single week too 😢
Junk or healthy it doesnt matter, we all going pass away one day 🤷🏻♀️ forever chemicals are a thing lol
Those scent beads are very unhealthy.and they mess up your washer too
Why do you still buy paper plates when you can now use your dishwasher?
Because she’s being lazy, she has a dishwasher she can use regular plates like everybody else. Does she just lazy? I think I think our husband does dishes.
And the next day the kids will complain theres no food to eat. Absolutely crazy
@@debigilmour1873 my son would absolutely 😄
I always wonder how much debt this family is actually in. If any of course
Apparently a lot, they even had to take out a second mortgage on their house 😂
She spends 250k a year alone if not more just on food shopping, I can't imagine their debts. To specify food shopping bc were not factoring in all their clothing, shoes, activities, electronics, toys and so on
Last year she spent almost a million on what she showed. Josh on his blog added her shopping trips up and it was very close to a million crap foods and so wasteful
La pagas tú? Mind your own business.
@@SaskiaPerezGaldos You are not minding your own business if you watch these videos.
Prime drinks are terrible for you especially kids should not be allowed to drink them 200 mg of caffeine which will give heart palpitations cause anxiety and the shakes ,that’s what you call good parenting not allowing your kids to consume that Alicia maybe you should show your kids some discipline
The prime she usually buys isn’t the energy prime. It is the hydration prime.
Crazy how strangers are telling another how to raise their children
@@darkshinexo well Alicia sure can’t raise kids someone has to speak up for those kids and try to protect them she’s slowly killing them just for views
@@JolineWhite-l1oeverything we consume is slowly killing us.
Not the bottles that’s the cans that are the energy drinks
Video idea: do a Q & A with the most commonly asked questions that your fans have. Put up a post where people can comment what questions they have for you. Then do a video.
@@alyssaberger9183 great idea
Would love to see the Q and A video.
How do they spend that much on a schoolteachers pay?
Food stamps?
@marybartley5800 she gets paid for being a content creator and then his wage too
They have enough food. SHOP FROM YOUR PANTRY FOR A WEEK LADY DANG
She could shop her pantry for at least a month and not make a dent in it
God help the people your kids marry...they will have to be millionaires to cover food costs. Millions of kids starving and living on the streets susceptible to predators!
Why is that her fault? They support their kids and adopted to give kids a home.
They have 7 million followers on tik tok, the kids will be millionaires themselves
1:08:23 10:00amWhat a shopper!,,
Wishing Jordan, jason and dayshawn all happy birthday 🎉🎉🎉 for the week
😂 The whistling creeps me out always think its related to a Halloween movie 😂
Yes 😅😅😅
Happy birthday to the 3 boys hope they all have a fabulous birthday and your have some amazing parties
That amount of money would feed my family for a whole year :( what a wasteful shame
Wow u have a family as large as hers and could feed them for a whole year for less than 5k? That’s impressive. Groceries must be cheaper where u are… she lives in New York I believe. I went there once, everything was a small fortune. They can afford it, who am I to judge how they choose to live their lives or what brings them happiness or how they should spend their money tho, right?
give up one week of party food and buy a washer and dryer so your kids can do their own laundry.
Her kids only watch tv and play games. They do NOT work or help her at all
@@beverlygiroux2824 just the bells 10 way better :)
@@beverlygiroux2824how do you know? I agree that children should have chores for their own dependancy
thank you Alicia for your videos I enjoy them
Happy birthdays boys. Have an amazing week !
I have been following you for quite some time and I read a lot of the comments. I cannot believe how awful people are if you have the money to spend and you spend it on your family I don’t see anything wrong with how much you spend. I see love I see a mother who puts her whole entire heart and soul into her family. What no one sees is the day today 24 hour care Love commitment that you put in to adopt children and take on any of their struggles and make their world incredible it’s just bonuses. I think you’re a wonderful person and keep making videos. Keep being yourself spend what you want and live how you want. We only get one life and you’re doing great with yours. I hope this comment super sees all the negative XOXO. Thank you for making me a better mother.
She gotta be in the Guiness world books for feeding her kids the most sugar! What a shame!
Nothing healthy. Complete junk & processed food.
Meh almost everything including healthy items have ingredients that arent good for you. Forever chemicals.
Alicia I don't want to upset you, but you know you're getting old when the sight of a product in a new resealable bag makes you happy lol. Best wishes from Northern Ireland.
Lol and the resealable bag has been around for awhile
notice how she stops and contemplates what she needs to buy. its because you have them all at home! you don't need to buy anything for months but you choose to. imagine the amount of garbage their household produces! geez!
Or maybe she's thinking if what they have that's low will last for the week?
You do realize she has 13 people to feed. Now 13x3=39 meals for the day. So 39×7=273 a week. They have friends that come over. Plus, she plans for parties, which means more people. If you look at the craziness that has become this world. With all the people she has to make sure are fed. I would keep my food supply stocked up to the rafters. Unless you are paying her bills or dont like her, simply mosey on to a different sight
@@mikesgirlfinnegan1652very well said!! 👏🏼👏🏼🏆
@mikesgirlfinnegan1652 girl, she aint the only mom here on youtube feeding a huge family. Try and search for others. See how they budget and make wise healthy decisions when grocery shopping.
@@CoffeeTailsandTreats 😂😂 you’re so jealous!
Why all the paper plates and plastic silverware ? Do they never wash dishes ?😂😂😂😂
no they don't wash dishes because the kids aren't made to do anything
@@LynetteStephenson-jw5xz Right! If you look at other large families, the kids help with the shopping, setting the table, clearing the table and washing dishes, laundry, etc. She doesn't make those kids do a lick of work, and they will be a mess when they're on their own.
If I remember correctly, she said that something in their house broke and they need to be careful of how much water they use up. So they only use it for hygiene and not cleaning plates, hence why the paper plates until it gets fixed. Something like this.
I spend, no joke $300/week for a family of 6. That with 2 grown kids and 2 smaller. That includes everything for our home. We are not poor, but budgeting and buying less helps keep us that way.
Same
Me too! Family of 6 and we budget. ❤
Hi Alicia,
I miss your laundry videos! Please consider showing us your laundry routine now that you have a working washer & dryer at home. 😄
She sends her laundry out for service it was exposed several videos ago..
Wait. 20k a month on groceries? That's like 2 house payments in a nice area.
I’m noticing all the laundry things that are not “free & clear. With so many health troubles in the family, I’m amazed there are no skin problems?
Alex is the only one I can’t use the scent beads with, he’s super sensitive
I owned a family restaurant for years and years. I spent on average 2500-2800 to feed 1200 orders a week. Including beverages, but that did not include paper products?? I’ve never seen anything like this.
I’ve never understood how you could even pay for groceries???
Hello, Alicia. Just a respectful question: what do you use Dawn for? I notice that much of what you purchase are disposables.
I don’t get why they make you bag the two big bags of chips to get the offer? Surely it would be better for those bags just to have the offer on them and it gets taken off on the till when there are two. The world is supposed to be cutting down on plastic bags not using more (for no reason). Just curious, does USA do any recycling? Here in the UK we have recycling collections for cardboard packaging and paper, plastic bottles and trays, foil trays, tin cans, drink cans etc, glass, garden waste, food waste. None of these items can go in our black refuse sacks and have to be washed out (if needed) before going in the recycling bag. Shopping we have reusable bags and have to pay for a plastic bag at the store if we needed one. We also have local recycling schemes for other items like pet food pouches and various other things which cannot go in our council recycling bag. These usually get collected to raise money for charities.
I am generally curious, in two weeks you've posted 3 grocery haul videos with a total of $12,560.77. I understand you have a large family, and you have you food atorage but even 3k would be a lot for 2 weeks!!
@@mckinneyfam7705
Exactly. I’ve texted the same thing. A weekly grocery amount spent $4500 for one week. I don’t get it.
I love watching what you buy because then I know if it is something off brand but still taste good!
Why do you spend so much time picking the produce, making sure the berries are not bad etc, only to put the produce at the bottom of the cart and putting heavy frozen goods, meats etc on top, squashing all of that beautiful fresh produce below?
Love watching your shopping videos!
Just a helpful and sincere suggestion. All that sugar,wheat and food colorings is one of the worst things for anyone with autism and other similar disorders.
Accoording to your food shopping videos, do you realize you spend on average for a year iapproximately $157,000 for groceries?
Yup. Gross isn’t it
That's amazing, love it, thanks for adding it up.
I wonder how much food waste they have.
Please buy more vegetables and fruits… ❤
Alicia do you know why your iron levels are low?
I had low levels for years until one different doctor one day said I needed to get tested for coeliac disease. And guess what my results came back positive 😱
Never change! You rock! This is my favorite vlog!
❤❤❤ Great haul hun, sorry i missed this one when it released. Been a week for me 😢
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that SWEATER!! Can you please share or is it in your Amazon storefront where you got it because now I think I want one or is it...I NEED it!!!!
Hi from ireland. Absolutely love your food hauls. I used to random shop last minute descisons on dinners. And always felt stressed. Now i dedicate my saturdays to getting the every 2 week big shop. I do out my weekly meals then shop for them items alone. Your so organised. ❤ also happy birthday boys. Im sure ye had a great time 🎉🎉
This is insane!
Why would you be brand specific about milk geez. Milk is milk it all came from a cow.
Because they also drink almond milk and 1 brand certainly can taste different then another. Besides that, some of the kids have autism, their brain function different, so seeing another package can make them think it isn't the same product.
@@2steppin2Vegas then I am glad you don't have a kid with autism. I do! And that is not me trying to be mean. But sometimes brands really do matter. I am in no means wealthy, I am on a low income, but some things my daughter just refuses to eat if it is a different brand, and yes I have tried, she just doesn't eat. And in this case fed is best!
@@2steppin2Vegasyou are very wrong the autism statement is very true
@@2steppin2Vegas they will not if they have autism
@@shawnashockney4413 don't many autistic kids have texture issues too? Different milks have different textures to me and I'm not autistic
I feel like they are a very wasteful family. The amount of stuff she buys each week is just disgusting when you think about all the suffering going on in the world. I bet there is an organisation close to her that she could help out.
If you watch her other videos she does hep others out. When they go on their beach vacation any food they gave at the end they donate to a local shelter. They also help out the families of they children they have adopted - they have even had a nephew of one of the families stay with them and bought the diapers and formula they needed. Leave her alone - she earns what she spends and is not hurting you. How do you know that they do not donate money as well - she may not want to announce this.
@@Shazbat-l4e Oh please!! She lied and did not donate anything.
You don’t have to watch
@@retchgasaintlouis How do you know - we're you there?
Is it your money??? She donates plenty. WTH do you donate???
I enjoy how organized you are with your shopping lists and meal planning. I have a family of four and get overwhelmed shopping. I’m going to try your method. Your hair looks awesome. I know you get a lot of mean comments, but I’m sitting here thinking how brilliant you are shopping for 13 people and parties, and people are watching your videos and getting angry, but I’m going to assume your groceries end up being free due to the RUclips money. Very smart. 😉
I hope you atleast return/recycle all those water bottles and whatever else you pay the bottle deposits on but we all know you dont. The amount of bottled waste yall produce is disgusting. I feel bad for the poor suckers your children marry and how wasteful they become as adults. Ny has the cleanest drinking water, or get a filter if youre pretencious. There's no reason for this amount of massive waste every week. If you lived alone i could say whatever but so many of you overconsuming in this manner you need to be held accountable. Get a filter and reusable bottle, and your kids dont need the rest of the garbage drinks
You get triggered easily don't you?😂😂😂😂😂
Why would u assume she doesnt have a recycling bin to put the plastic in?
you are so sweet and i love how you are just loving life it seems like that is what I'm talking about loving life 😊❤
This is outrageous !
Hi @Doughtydozen thank you for still doing these sort of vlogs your shopping ones give me inspiration to do my own, great news we've just started to stock Cheez-its they are very yummy, all we need now is goldfish and the little Pringle cups...😮

...
Hope their birthdays are a day full of surprises and lasting memories😊❤
500 pounds of crap..sweets and chips and one bag of green beans. This woman is doing this, solely ti create controversy and increase viewership. It’s a con!
You fell for it…..

She cracks me up,how she buys different,water for,each kid,I see it’s all the same this time
This lady needs some help professional help
Yet here you are supporting her.
Projection.
Happy birthday Jordan ,Jason, and Dayshawn
Thanks for taking us shopping
🧡🧡🧡
Josh is a idiot too he doesnt stop this .. he is a teacher also thats scary 😮😅
Your face looks so dehydrated
Happy Birthday to Jordan and Jason. I hope they have a good day!
You should try lessen the ultraprocessed foods and sugars in your list
I love your grocery shopping vlogs!!!!!! ❤❤❤
More amusing to watch her blow her money than me blowing mine to say the least!!
What!!! words fail me seriously, are you sure you don't mean this is your monthly shop?
She should buy a cow and a pig for her freezers and shop organic from Azure Standard with the money she makes. Her kids need to eat cleaner and healthier. She shops like this for content. She doesn’t care that her kids eat junk.
I really don’t get it….
Do you even try to budget????
Emergency purse iron, lol. My family, friends and co-workers use to.say I had a "Magic" bag. I had a small purse,but carried a tote or back pack with me with my " just in case you need" items and yes I had vitamins in my bag.
My reminder to you...STOCKup on all Baking Supplies to get you through NewYears..NOW. Same for Spices and Herbs. Barrillo is NONGMO. Much better grade of Pasta. Walmart and store brands are GMO grain. I'm excited to see you use the Club Stores for Pantry Items.
Happy Birthday to you Alicia, Bodhi, Jordan, Jason and DayShawn!!🥳🥳🥳

Happy Birthday Jason and Jordan!! My mom turns 87 on the same day, 10/16 😊❤❤
Happy Birthday Dayshawn!! 😊❤
Happy Birthday to your Mom!
@@DoughertyDozenThank you 😊❤❤❤
You should make laminated papers that say Reserved Dougherty. Set them on top of each cart or flatbed when you finish shopping with it to prevent restocking. You can attach them to your clipboard
Dollar store for the box of thank you cards. Best price!
For anyone complaining about how she should get more veggies and fruits. Im pretty sure they would go bad.
Yeah coz her kids eat Junk it's CALLED BE the Parent. I ate veggies my parents didn't go broke. Teach your kids what to eat be the example.
@@robynhogle2435 idk in her vids she gives each kid a small bag in their lunch bag and let's them pick a snack by the end of the day so pherhaps she's storing all of that. Honestly idk and idc much
Why do you have to put the chips that are already in bags in another plastic bag ?That's just a big waste, hopefully you use that for a trash can liner or something
I never seen so much food have u seen her pantry she dnt need no more food how does she afford like that
I wish for just once I could buy this groceries everything in the store for my children I've never been able to buy a grocery store for my children that's something that I really would have loved to do for my children just one big shop and didn't don't even think about the prices
We all do what we can. I don't have this kind of money to spend either but I like watching Alicia shop. You love your kids and you are doing a great job! Have a nice day.
I love reading kind comments ❤ God bless y’all
Same
Can't wait to see the new vlog and hope you guys have a great Monday afternoon and evening with the kids and can't wait to see the BJ'S and Wegmans grocery haul for your family of 13.
🧡🧡🧡
The amount of junk she buys and the amount of money this woman spends is out of control. This is ridiculous
Did you not hear her say, she’s also buying for the birthdays?
watch someone else then
Lovely haul.Dont judge .God don't like it.
The fact that you watch something that obviously bothers you is ridiculous.
And how does this affect your life? And why do you watch?
I'm so happy that DayShawn and the twins are having a birthday 🎂! I hope they have great birthdays. 😊❤
Thanks!🥳
