  • Weekly grocery haul for our family of 12. Here is our meal plan for the week:
    Monday: Tuna Sandwiches, Dinner: Garbanzo bean soup and baguette
    Tuesday: Bean burritos, Dinner: Hamburgers and potato chips
    Wednesday: Pesto pasta Dinner: Chicken Soup, salad, bread
    Thursday: Dahl Paratha, (Indian lentil dish) Dinner: Tostadas with beans

    Saturday: Bagels with salmon, cream cheese and dill Dinner: 2 chickens with roast vegetables and salad and bread
    Sunday: Bean burritos, Diner: Nachos with beans, meat, lettuce and tomato
    See what it takes to feed our family of 12 for a week! We go to Trader Joe's, Costco, and Target in this video. We also bought some beans and baking items at shop fair and we also bought chicken and kombucha at whole foods. (The chicken pieces at whole foods seems to be better quality.) We bring 2 of our 10 kids: Elijah (age 16) and Moses (age 1)
    Our family:
    Marc 45
    Amber 43
    Josiah 20

    I’m #9 of 10 kids, in my early 50’s. This brought back a lot of memories. We would often fill 3~>4 carts depending on the season. Our house was 6,500+ sqft w/a large finished basement. We had 2 fridges, 2 deep freezers. Our milk was like the milk dispensers in restaurants. Self contained, refrigerated, delivered, I think either 5 or 10 gal in a heavy plastic bag in a box. Just pull the hose through the hole & cut it off. Lift the 39:50 weighted handle to dispense. My Father said easiest way to keep enough milk in the house 39:50 for all us kids.

    Elijah did great with the baby ‘ I know he is a big help . I live in a small city In NC and I honestly would have a panic attack in New York lol so many people and I thought I had it bad walking across the parking lot to get groceries . Never saw a parking deck for Costco . Awesome video and your family is awesome .

      Exactly. No difference than if they’re outside and drop something then pick it back up. It builds immunity!! LoL!
      @TheHappyCaravan
      But oh do be cautious about seeing money on the ground or anything struck on your vehicle. Don’t touch it. Don’t let the kids pick up anything especially money. I don’t know why they do it but I heard they laving money and paper or napkins etc with fentanyl and people pick it up and die. It’s barbaric. But not to live in fear but good to be aware, especially in NYC.

Mum is a content creator but wouldn’t cover all that surely? I heard they rely on savings but at the rate they spend savings wont last forever.

I realize you sold your house in California, but rent in NYC can’t be cheap. (And it also sounds as if you’re paying for music lessons for children as well.).🤷‍♀️🙂. (Also hospital and doctor visits for your 11th child 🙂)

    Wow how can you possibly manage all this kids ? You look pretty young to have so many kids🤷🏼‍♀️why for god sake ? Never heard of birth control? Good luck with this Horrible inflation and bad economy 😏I feel sad for kids who end up taking care of their siblings because their parents just don’t have control or senses 😞I am glad at list you are well off money wise 😏

    Must be nice being able to shop at expensive stores. Not worry about how much you spend. Your kids must love sharing rooms and space.. Sorry not sorry.

    Thinking God found you a parking space while thousands of children starve and die around the world daily. Absolutely incredible mindset. And not in a good way. I don't get it??

      We can thank God for big and small things whenever we like. You aren’t in control of what other people thank God for. It isn’t this family’s fault people are starving around the world - whose to say she isn’t praying for them? Seeing a snippet from someone’s life doesn’t mean you know them or can judge them or their mindset.
