Hello Amber, miss your weekly shopping? I’m sure the monthly shopping is much easier, just saying I miss seeing you more often. Love your family, they are all so loving and kind. Hope all your holidays are merry and bright. Look forward to seeing more videos
Everyone did so good while shopping. The big kids are always so good about entertaining the little ones during your shopping trips. I only had two boys, but we live in the middle of nowhere while they were growing up and the closest store was 65 miles away so I shopped in bulk too. I also was the second child of a 5 child family. Beans are the best cheap source of protein there is and there is nothing wrong with eating a lot of beans especially when you are trying to stay on budget. There are so many verities and ways to fix beans❤
Another great shopping haul. Loved having and seeing most of the kids shopping with you. Noah is great with Neta. And Mo is such a great helper. Naomi the cake looks delicious. Keep the videos coming.
I couldn't stop laughing at Moses when he 'traded' his Chomp stick for sardines 😅 "No, I don't want it, I have sardines." What a funny kid and such a unique pallet! Noah entertaining Neta was so precious 💕 I enjoyed the piano concert by Elijah😊 Your family is such a joy to watch.❤
l was slightly concermed about Mo at costco because he's normally not that quiet, but it was great to see him got his mojo back at trader joe's, that adorable personality and his wanting to help with putting the groceries into the cart makes watching your videos the highlights for me, l have to admit that when l first started watching your videos, Mo has totally captured my heart, l think every family should have a Mo in their lives, also a special shout out to Netta and Melody, they also have a special place in my heart, they are so cute and adorable!. Fun fact!, my second nephew also has the same middle name, Alexander, as your husband, Amber!, although the only time l ever heard my brother in law used it was when he called my nephew his full name when he was being naughty!.😀😆
Goodmorning Amber Marc and beautiful family... I also miss your weekly shops, but once a month may be more economical for the most wonderful family on RUclips... The treat party at the end of Trader's Joe's where the children share their treats , so sweet.. Your food you make each week is so wholesome and healthy..Have a happy and safe week ahead 🙏❤... ..
I buy roast and things that are on sale i put the grinder attachment on my stand mixer and grind it all to make killer burgers and so on doesnt take long and the taste is super . Saves alot of money . Make all ur own bread it's fun and u can add whatever you want for flavor. You can make fresh jam fresh every day if you want control ur sugar. Saves so much make biscuits out of three ingredients about 200 dollars per batch supper make ur own butter you can buy whipping cream like close to its date and buy the containers and give the kids jars with lids and you shake and roll and there you are .then u run cold water on butter and rinse and squeeze and butter for ur biscuits and fresh jelly you made. It's fun for all the kids to do and not hard and very little time. You can make ur own yogurt which is so simple and cheese out of whole milk that once again u can buy maked down very easy.
I ran a Day Care as a Director i had 100 kids every day , best job i ever had .I loved those oh so sweet babies. So every day I came up with things to do as crafts and part of there learning about bugs and natute.i taught them how to make there own pizzas on Friday there for they made there pizzas and put their own topping on top which meant they would try new toppings that they didn't eat normally because their bestie ate that ,God work it that world of daycare we were able to say our blessings over our food and they got to eat things they made with their own sweet hands. Gods blessings all over the place. I see some of the kids that I used to take care of and they remember so.much. I lived in the country so they got to see my wonderful horses and dogs and the creek had crawl dad's and little fish in them.God was so good to me with those children and got to teach them who God was and how much he loved them You are blessed because God has given you so many children to love and care for and you two are doing a wonderful job, and I love you for that God gets a chance to really letting them grow and for them come to know how wonderful Jesus is how much he loves them and as they grow the mercy and grace he has for us. Keep on keeping on doing a great job.God Bless and keep you .✝️✝️✝️✝️✡️that one is for prayer for Israel .
I reckon it cost less than 7 dollars per day to eat, clean and diaper your house. You eat incredibly well with treats all good stuff . Amazing xxxx and in New York x
Amber, I just read an article on Lead Safe Mama about the Costco brand peanut butter. I know how you are cautious about ingredients, so please read their report.
Super Great video,,prices have gone crazy,,we spend give or take $550. A month and there's 2 adults,,and few Beautiful pets so if yall can stay under $3000.00 with yall Beautiful Family yall are doing Fantastic. Ours are high because we buy food that helps with being diabetic,,try stay away from sweet snacks! But fruit is also high,,but sometimes we cheat😅 🎉❤❤
That was funny someone thought your daughter worked at Costco! I did that where I work! In Waitrose supermarket! I wear a light blue shirt! If a customer is wearing a blue shirt I have to be careful!
$4.99 Rotisserie chicken is an amazing deal! I would get six or more if they don't have a limit and tear them apart and freeze for quick easy dinners like hot dishes and burrito's and what ever comes up. You have a Trader Joes that is 4 times the size of the one we have near me in MN. Plus they bag your groceries for you, ours just throws our stuff in a empty cart and we have to bag it all ourselves off to the side away from the register. I love that you are a family of 13 just like Dougherty Dozen but what you basically spend on your monthly shopping is only 1 week of shopping for them. Yours is very normal wise spending. You have fairly healthy eating in your household and of course there is always room for a delicious cake or some type of desert for after dinner. Yummy!
I just do not know how you can afford this. My oldest son died and I raise His three children and we scrape from the bottom of the barrel - must have very good jobs!! God Bless you all
Do you all have Azure Standard in your area? I think it would be worth checking into! We love Azure!! I appreciate you feeding your family healthy food even with having a large family.
Wow, just thinking of the grocery bill gives me heart palpitations. So much mouth to feed!!! Amber said they hardly have any leftovers. Between food and rent and other expenses, 25k a month is not enough, with that many children. How do you do your budget???
Honestly it’s a struggle and there are times when I’m nervous we won’t be able to pay rent & buy food but shopping at the beginning of the month helps us budget.
Hi Amber I have to ask why do you have to take everything off Marco when you are Shopping 🛒 🛒🛒🛒 I don’t understand why you do it? But I do love your videos x 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Amber love watching your family. I have a question if you have a minute the lunch you make beans and toast how do you make them or is it straight forward open the cans and put it over the toast I have been wondering for a long time and so I’m finally asking

Aw thank you so much! Yes, we are trying to do more videos soon! ❤️
@@mariatalamo6834 I'm amazed at Mark's Tetris packing skills for loading all the groceries in the van!

I love watching your shopping trips with all the children. They are so well behaved.

Miss your old video schedule. I'm sure home schooling for your family takes up much of your time. God be with you all!
Aw thank you! Yes homeschooling is a lot of work and we’ve been busy, but I’m hoping to make more videos soon! ❤️
I miss the old schedule too
Love your shopping videos always. Marc is such a trooper when it comes to shopping, loading the cart and packing the car! Delightful ❤
Loved this video so much, ok i just love all your video's. Missing your weekly video's though💞
Have an amazingly wonderful weekend gorgeous family xx
Great haul! I agree that planning your meals and shopping at the first of the month would help tremendously with budgeting. Have a blessed month.💕
I couldn't stop laughing at Moses when he 'traded' his Chomp stick for sardines 😅 "No, I don't want it, I have sardines." What a funny kid and such a unique pallet! Noah entertaining Neta was so precious 💕 I enjoyed the piano concert by Elijah😊 Your family is such a joy to watch.❤
Haha yes! He’s such a sardine lover!
I was thinking the same thing. At 3 years old, no less😂
Best family on RUclips ❤❤❤❤❤ Mark you are such a gentleman and Amber you are stunning, inside and out. Mo eating his sardines 😂😂😂 LOVE THIS FAMILY
🙏❤️
Love your haul at my favorite store Costco & TJ☀️🪅🫧
Thank you! I really enjoyed this shopping trip with your beautiful family! 😁❤
Another great grocery haul. I also miss the weekly grocery hauls but i understand the cost and all doing it monthly. Hope you have a great weekend.
If you find a cheaper cut of meat, roast , briskets etc, they usually grind it into ground beef for you and it’s cheaper
I agree with Mark, the Dawn spray dish soap is the best.
Hi Amber, just thanking you for the videos that help keep me sober and living another day❤❤ I just love your family❤❤
l was slightly concermed about Mo at costco because he's normally not that quiet, but it was great to see him got his mojo back at trader joe's, that adorable personality and his wanting to help with putting the groceries into the cart makes watching your videos the highlights for me, l have to admit that when l first started watching your videos, Mo has totally captured my heart, l think every family should have a Mo in their lives, also a special shout out to Netta and Melody, they also
have a special place in my heart, they are so cute and
adorable!.
Fun fact!, my second nephew
also has the same middle name, Alexander, as your husband, Amber!, although the only time l ever heard my brother in law used it was when he called my nephew his full name when he was being
naughty!.😀😆

Aw thank you so much Sarah! We are all doing well!❤️🥰🙏
I’m amazed that Marc got all the groceries in the van !! Just like Tetris 😅. Good job!, Little Neta looks more like Moses everyday..❤❤
Haha, it was a tight squeeze! You’re right, Neta does look a lot like Moses!
Hopefully soon the food prices will go down soon! And everything else! 🙏🇺🇸❤️
Yes!
I know these monthly shops are working for you guys but I miss the weekly videos 😢😅❤
Me tooo!
Absolutely!☺️ Me too!

One of my mommas’s favorites easy meals to make was grilled cheese and tomato soup. Still a comfort food if mine!
Wowzza! 😮 Shopping is very stressful at the best of times, lol 😆 I commend you all! 😂 🛒🛒🛒🛒
Such a fun family shopping trip😊

It also saves you time at the store and gas and parking fees to go to Costco. I try to shop bigger once a month then very small shops as needed. 😊
You have the sweetest kid's .😊
Have you thought about substituting one glass of water instead of milk each day per person? Might save some money, plus that's alot of milk.
Y'all should make a train when unloading the groceries.😉
Love tge big grocery hauls
I just do not know how you can afford this. My oldest son died and I raise His three children and we scrape from the bottom of the barrel - must have very good jobs!! God Bless you all
Amber also watch out with Yellow #5 can induce asthma .
Good to know!
Do you all have Azure Standard in your area? I think it would be worth checking into! We love Azure!! I appreciate you feeding your family healthy food even with having a large family.
There is a drop off but it’s quite a distance but it would be worth it I bet!
You can made your own dawn powerwash. Dawn soap,rubbing alcohol and water. Whole lot cheaper
Hello Amber, what books are you reading for your own enjoyment?
I usually listen to audiobooks. I really like Seth Godin books.
Hello Amber and family 😊❤
A week of lunches or dinners would be a great video idea
Love your family

I do the same thing! Spends $50 bucks on books for my kid but won't buy myself a $20 sweater 🤷♀️
Why don’t you bring your own bags to Trader Joes? Would be much sturdier for transporting if you are walking
Yes! We did bring some but we should bring more!
Best family on youtube ❤❤❤
First here! Hello from Sweden 🙋♀️
👋❤️🥰
Hi Amber, I miss your weekly grocery hauls. I was wondering if you are savings money this way or is it just to save time?
I love putting black bean's in my chilli yummy
u should try perogies with farmers sausage- all there at Costco...................
Nice haul 😊😊
Mark is a Tetris master
Watching from Malaysia... I like ur all children very cute... N nice
Thanks!
You need to make sure if u need calcium or not. You need to really study up on it. Please study it.
Wow, that’s a big savings!
Shopping for a month would be hard. Have you had anything spoil?
Wow, where do you store all this? Your freezer must be huuuuge!! Lol
Yes! We have a freezer in the basement I show it at the end!☺️
u could buy more of the cooked chickens and freeze them...
I’m really surprised that you guys eat the shaker Parmesan instead of shredded. The canister kind uses wood chips to fill in the
Yes! I definitely prefer the grated version!
Hello beautiful family💜💖xx
Hello! 🥰

Wat een mooie familie . Groetjes uit Belgium .

Neta reminds me so much of Melody, does she look just like Melody did as a baby? :)
Do ye not do a weekly shop anymore?😊
They seem to think they spend less doing it monthly.
Yes we do mini hauls throughout the month for produce and the other things that don’t keep. I try to post those too.❤️
I’m now trying to feed five people on 250 a month I’m a single mom to six kids been hard but we are figuring it out

Hi ❤ this ty
Why aren't you shopping grocery @ Target? It's cheaper than Trader Joe's.
Read the book of Jeremiah
shopping for a mobth causes people to wait in lin longher at coscto.
Maybe! But it was pretty empty this evening compared to normal.
Have you considered powdered milk?
Yes! That’s a good idea!
Home school
Hope u get food stamps or wic
Hi amber your family are great musicians y'all rock
Hi Amber love watching your family. I have a question if you have a minute the lunch you make beans and toast how do you make them or is it straight forward open the cans and put it over the toast I have been wondering for a long time and so I’m finally asking
go to aldi
Yes! I’d like to try going there again. It was pretty empty when we went before.
Wouldn’t it be cheaper to get the beef broth and tortillas chips at Costco?
Our Costco doesn’t have beef broth unfortunately and the tortillas at Costco have bleached flour but thankfully Trader Joe’s is pretty economical.
@ i me at the tortilla chips
That's an awful lot of money per person, especially considering you have littles that don't eat that much
Exactly, six hundred a week and that doesn't include the trips they'll be doing weekly for fresh produce.
@marykoufalis7666 that's crazy. I can eat an organic diet for under 25 per week
Junk food/snacks can make a dent in your wallet.
So many commercials in this one 🤬
