You know how it goes....No one ever says anything till someone else gets something & then they’re like Oh, I love those too!🤦🏼♀️ Or the wk before they hated something & the nxt wk they tell you that you know they love something! You never win! My brain hurts from trying to keep up!😂 You had a great haul! Happy eating!🤗
My name is Kathy and I just wanted you to know that I just started to watch your video on RUclips and really enjoy it. Don't know if this is the video where you were going to do a give back to either Sam's or Costco. There is only Sam's here in IL. and I have been thinking about joining. So Sam's is my choice , here's hoping. You asked for a positive note and what I have been able to see on your video is this, You are always thinking of everyone else first. You open yourself up and share so much and I love that. It's Mother's Day today and I want to wish you a very Happy Mother's Day. Hope you had a wonderful day. Stay safe and God bless you and your family
Yes, you can freeze the rest of the tomato paste. I scoop it out into a small ziploc bag and freeze it. Then when I need just a small bit, I can cut a piece out and keep the rest in the freezer.
When I need a partial can of tomato paste I plan a spaghetti type dinner after. So the can sits in the fridge for a few days and then it gets used up. There’s also a squeeze tube of tomato paste in the isle with canned veg, but if I only use 2 cans a year the tube will go bad before I use it all.
A useful tip for tomato paste is when you open it,use as you want and then top it with olive oil and foil or wrap and refrigerate,it lasts long that way!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I take whatever I don't use when I open a can and put on lined cookie sheet in about 1 tblsp. size, let it freeze, then put it in zip lock bag in freezer, then you can take out portions as you need it.
We do fresh okra split in half with olive oil,salt and pepper. We put in the air fryer until it’s crispy! It is so delicious and not slimy at at all. It’s a really delicious and fast side for dinner.
Onion Powder! I so miss all of your videos but I do understand how time consuming that they are to make. My favorite ones were when you would prep your food after shopping. I learned A LOT from you ... and I'm in my 50's. I will admit to running to Dollar Tree to buy the fancy (LOL) fruit holders that you've gotten there. But I'm just appreciative of the time and effort you do put into videos and get very excited when I see one come through. Take care!
The True Lemon is a RUclips made me buy it. 😀 I have seen several people haul it. They are so good!! You can get tomato paste in a squeeze tube. Great way to use it and not waste any.
I love the white chocolate mocha Frappuccino’s that are available during the holidays. They now also have them at my local store which is Harris Teeter. I am so excited to be able to have it year round. My Starbucks in the morning makes it easier to get up since I have my coffee for the caffeine.
I buy tomato paste in a tube like a toothpaste tube and keep it in the refrigerator once I open it. It’s in the same aisle as the canned one. The brand I buy is Cento, but you can get other brands too.
Onion powder😁 they usually have the tomato paste in a squeeze tube at my stores it is usually in the produce section where they have the tubes of garlic and different herbs
Onion powder is your other go to spice! We tried those Veggie Puffs & thought they had to much flavoring on them. The sour cream & onion flavor is extremely overpowering so we didn't care for them. Those Sam's Club beach towels are an excellent buy!! They are huge & wash & wear very well. I bought several last summer & they still look brand new this year. Gardyn needs to sponsor you like they have others. You could grow your own produce right inside your own home. I think that's such an awesome idea but they are just so darn expensive. I recently redid the sink & faucet in the kitchen of my new house. I purchased a matte black sink & faucet & paid about the same amount you did. It is just the one big open tub design, which I'm loving!! I've never cared for the 2 basin sinks & that's what the old one was. I do like the design of the one you picked out. I've been buying the bags of ice from CFA for years now. They literally have the best ice!!! I'm anemic so I crave ice constantly. I don't want to break all my teeth off so the CFA is perfect. It's crunchy without being rock hard & the perfect bite size!!
I can always find smaller apples at Trader Joe’s :)! The spices are great because they are more fresh and cheaper! Plus you can bring in your own jars to reduce your plastic :).
Vanessa have you noticed since you started shopping once a month versus weekly much in the way of saving money? I’m curious to see if that makes a difference in your budgeting...🧐☺️
What made you decide to only do fill in hauls on the vlog channel or IG? You might have said, but I've been in and out of the hospital since January, so I've missed a lot.
I’m a no go on cilantro! You should check out the hydroponic growing case that Jen Chaplin has to grow herbs!!! I think you would enjoy it and have fresh herbs and greens on hand all the time🕊🍋
I try to adviod buying chips to keep us healthier. It’s awesome that ur kids love fruit. We buy snacks in bulk. We buy unsalted butter. We don’t like tub Mayo. We love the Aussie bbq sauce. We love raw nuts. We love on the go snacks even tho we homeschool. At least ur prepared for ur kitchen re model. My daughter is the onli one in our house who will eat blueberries, she’s obsessed and I don’t mind. I fink it’s a good thing to love. We all love board shorts. My kids hate orange juice but love other fruit juices so I don’t care. I remember one Christmas I asked my brothers if they wanted a coffee and one brother didn’t say anything then came downstairs and asked where his coffee was and I then made him one. My kids kno to answer me wen I ask wat they want me to pick up. We often put a portion of veggies as a side. Acrylic paint can be messy. I buy tomato paste in a tube. Uncle bens is awesome and it’s still as healthy as dried rice. My daughter loves snacking on grapes and she encourages me to. I use bread flour wen I make bread. I also don’t like milk. Coffee is healthier than energy drink.
We buy tomato paste from the produce section sometimes with the sauce and it's a toothpaste tube-type container. We usually only need a tbs or two of that stuff and hate opening a can because then I always forget it's in the fridge.
I have that exact sink and don’t love it. The sprayer is like a line instead of a circle which makes it harder to use IMO. The sink mat that it comes with is silicone and so so hard to keep clean. I just tossed mine but now I have scratches on the bottom. Plus it has a weird texture to it on top part around the counter. I had a cheap glacier bay sink and faucet set at Home Depot at our last house and I liked it way better. It had a metal mat thing In it. Though this one does look nice.
Walmart has the rockit apples, they are sweet mini red apples. They are so good and my kids actually eat the whole thing. I hate having to throw away mushy half eaten apples lol.
i had a neihgboor lady she bought spices at kmart they were not good because she gave us pumpkin pie it was like n spice in it the dollar stores have cheap spices too the panademic things got cleaned outof the shelves and they have pastas pickles bagels bread cookies only dont have a caregiver at the moment and cheap sunglasses and really fresh theatrecandy in boxes at walmart mine werea little not fresh i used to go shopping a lot
Oh my gosh! I heard you say that your house is not your "forever home"... however, I absolutely love your house and all of the space! Are you wanting to build a new one in Texas or are you wanting to relocate? Hope you don't think I'm being nosy but...I just REALLY love your house and I would buy it in a heartbeat... LOL😉
I was soo excited to try the olive garden chicken in the Crockpot.... It was WAY too strong. 😕 Such a disappointment! Maybe try half a bottle instead? Or a cup? Idk. But we couldn't even eat it.
Can't believe your expected to buy things for teachers it's great and everything but dont they get payed to do there job, here in the UK you just get a gift when you leave that teacher and maybe at Christmas but never any other time it's really strange great haul btw
I will say most parents just do an end of the year gift, maybe Christmas. Many don't do anything. I am a grade 5 teacher for many years. It's just a way to show appreciation.
I dont do any gifts. however if the teachers are looking for "donations" for there classroom I'm happy to help out. I also buy all the things on there wish list at the beginning of the year. I think most of the parents where I live dont do them. And it wasn't a big thing when I was in school either.
hi i dont know how you do it going to 3 stores l went w/ my caregiver and after walking in a warehousestore and hobby lobbyand another 3stores i one day i said i cant walkanymore my poor feet hurt wellyou could put globs of tomato paste on a cookie sheet and freeze them like icecube shaps do it that wayand those squishmallow toys they are in walgreens and 5below i think i want one and get rid of my old dogs and in goodwill i wanted stuffed toys my caregiver talked me out of it and they have some atthe zoo no i didnt get me one at the famous omaha henry doorly zooin nebraska sometimes you just like to hug them because they are very cute lol
when i grew up they didnt haveallthease snacks back then an besides i was chubby anyway i shouldve had more things to do then or sports oh i went swimming at the poolit was cheap in the 60s or 70s
I haven’t been here very long but I think it’s onion powder because I can remember you shaking a light coloured powder (heavily lol) over your beef 😃😃🙌
So sweet how you always have snack time for visiting kid friends ☺💖
Aways love ur halls not only do u get for your family but always think of when friends come over. Happy Mothers day to you when it comes ⚘🌷🌺
I like a good salad mix, especially for lunch during the warmer months. It's quick and easy and doesn't require cooking! LOL.
You know how it goes....No one ever says anything till someone else gets something & then they’re like Oh, I love those too!🤦🏼♀️ Or the wk before they hated something & the nxt wk they tell you that you know they love something! You never win! My brain hurts from trying to keep up!😂
You had a great haul! Happy eating!🤗
Keep the old beach towels for emergency extra blankets. Winter 21/22 could bring another Texas type storm to your area with similar problems.

You can buy tomato paste in a tube. You just squeeze out what you need and then cap it off and put it in the fridge.
Wow-what a huge haul! Looks like some delicious meals for the month.
A useful tip for tomato paste is when you open it,use as you want and then top it with olive oil and foil or wrap and refrigerate,it lasts long that way!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great haul! Always like seeing the new items or new to me anyway and hearing ideals you have going on!
Thanks for sharing 🍋❤️.. onion powder 👍.. blessings to you and your beautiful family 🤗
Hi, Vanessa. I actually like these large hauls.
I take whatever I don't use when I open a can and put on lined cookie sheet in about 1 tblsp. size, let it freeze, then put it in zip lock bag in freezer, then you can take out portions as you need it.
Another great haul Vanessa. Thanks for sharing. Hope you have a great week.
Freeze the tomato paste on ice cubes y once is ready put it in a ziploc bag
🙌
The Ickabog is a great story. I really enjoyed it.
We do fresh okra split in half with olive oil,salt and pepper. We put in the air fryer until it’s crispy! It is so delicious and not slimy at at all. It’s a really delicious and fast side for dinner.
I use the italian dressing on chicken, potatoes and carrots along with some parmesan cheese and make it a sheet pan dinner. Yummy!

The hot dog rolls from Costco ended up being great for individual French bread style pizzas. I just scraped off some of the seeds and they loved them
The True Lemon is a RUclips made me buy it. 😀 I have seen several people haul it. They are so good!!
You can get tomato paste in a squeeze tube. Great way to use it and not waste any.
HEB has a squeeze tube of tomato paste, the brand is Amore and it’s concentrated so you don’t need a lot.
Great great hauls and fun foods w ideas.
Appreciate you sharing.

you can get a lg bottle of Kikkomans 64oz at Sam's to refill your bottles for $6.38
Freeze the leftover tomato paste in an ice cube tray. Then you have dem in Tablespoon portions.
That’s such a smart idea to put those lazy Susan’s in the fridge!! Let us know if that’s what you end up doing and if you like it, please!
I buy tomato paste in a tube like a toothpaste tube and keep it in the refrigerator once I open it. It’s in the same aisle as the canned one. The brand I buy is Cento, but you can get other brands too.

That 4 piece PJ set from Costco is wonderful and a great value!
That’s exactly how I feel about that Nutzo butter. It’s soo good!
Vanessa have you noticed since you started shopping once a month versus weekly much in the way of saving money? I’m curious to see if that makes a difference in your budgeting...🧐☺️
I love your grocery hauls. They are amazing.
Not a haul related comment but you look so pretty in your lipgloss!
Love ur haul videos.. another great one 👌
Just like me! Salt pepper, garlic powder and onion powder!! Great haul, gal!🌞 Absolutely no cilantro!!
What made you decide to only do fill in hauls on the vlog channel or IG? You might have said, but I've been in and out of the hospital since January, so I've missed a lot.
I’m a no go on cilantro!

The smart food Krispy Kreme popcorn is bomb! Good choice :-)

Girl that Krispy Kreme popcorn is so good 😀
U can buy tomato paste in a tube like toothpaste. It’s by the tomato paste in the can
Need a guest for dinner this month😆? Great haul, thanks for sharing!
Fantastic shopping hauls Great video.
Love Sam's Club
I have that exact sink and don’t love it. The sprayer is like a line instead of a circle which makes it harder to use IMO. The sink mat that it comes with is silicone and so so hard to keep clean. I just tossed mine but now I have scratches on the bottom. Plus it has a weird texture to it on top part around the counter. I had a cheap glacier bay sink and faucet set at Home Depot at our last house and I liked it way better. It had a metal mat thing In it. Though this one does look nice.
My teen loves squishmallows too! 😜
Wow you had some great hauls as always
Where did you find that La Croix pack at Sam’s? I usually shop at Costco but sometimes go to the Sam’s on I35 and Judson Rd.
You can get tunes of tomato paste on Amazon. I have got the Hunts brand at Walmart that has 4 tubes in a box but they don't always have it
Can’t wait for meals
You can get tomato paste in a tube that you refrigerate after opening. Great for small amounts.
Great choices...yummy
Onion powder!! I use the same thing anytime I cook ground meat as well
Walmart has the rockit apples, they are sweet mini red apples. They are so good and my kids actually eat the whole thing. I hate having to throw away mushy half eaten apples lol.
You could save old spice jars to fill with spices in the package and save money. Make a new label cor the jar. Spices would break a rich man.
Your vlog channel’s link in the description isn’t work.
Keep in mind faucets like that are super hard to clean!
How much was the cat litter, I missed it. Thank you.
Could I get a picture and ordering details for Mark’s PB spook please
Those spice bags make me want to go to HEB. I've never heard of it near me though!
It’s a Texas grocery chain, but there are plenty of stores that offer the bulk spices (I know Whole Foods does in my area).
@@aglaurendance thanks! I'm not sure if any do in my area. I'll have to ask around.
I don't recommend using the whole bottle of salad dressing. It's very very vinegary... My kids hated it.
Onion powder. I also use A LOT of onion powder and garlic powder too.
Great haul
You can freeze the tomato paste
Buy your tomato paste from Trader Joe’s in the tube. No waste!
Yes walmart has them too
i had a neihgboor lady she bought spices at kmart they were not good because she gave us pumpkin pie it was like n spice in it the dollar stores have cheap spices too the panademic things got cleaned outof the shelves and they have pastas pickles bagels bread cookies only dont have a caregiver at the moment and cheap sunglasses and really fresh theatrecandy in boxes at walmart mine werea little not fresh i used to go shopping a lot
I made English muffin bread and it is so much more yummy than the small ones
Oh my gosh! I heard you say that your house is not your "forever home"... however, I absolutely love your house and all of the space! Are you wanting to build a new one in Texas or are you wanting to relocate? Hope you don't think I'm being nosy but...I just REALLY love your house and I would buy it in a heartbeat... LOL😉
She has mentioned in the past, they plan to live in this house until the children all move out. Then build forever home.
I was soo excited to try the olive garden chicken in the Crockpot.... It was WAY too strong. 😕 Such a disappointment! Maybe try half a bottle instead? Or a cup? Idk. But we couldn't even eat it.
You can always make your granola bars
Pop Tarts are not vegetarian--they contain gelatin. (unless they are unfrosted)
On the channel, fruitfully multiplied, she buys a tomato paste from Trader Joe's that's in a tube that she loves.
I love her!
Tina from Philips fam bam makes chicken with the Olive Garden dressing
Does any one know where i can get a bag of flounder from i used to get it from walmart but havent seen it in a while
The kids might like English muffin pizza could have fun making their individual pizza this way.... Just an idea ....idk.

Teachers in the US are so underpaid
Love you channel I think they sell tomato paste in a squeezable tube
My daughter loves ripple and has 3 bottle she goes through month
Onion powder and I like cilantro!
W😌😌
I love watching your channels. I’m curious how many kids does it take to eat 80 pizza rolls. I’m not familiar with them. 😊
Not many in my house, lol. The rolls are small themselves so hungry kids can gobble up quite a few each.
U use onion powder also
Is anyone else having issues finding Alfredo sauce here in Ohio i can't find any..
I have a Frenchie
