    To those making rude negative comments about how they can afford to live in NYC with 10 kids. Answer: It's none of your business.
    Amber, your family is doing a great job and there is lots of love to go around. Your family is amazing !

      Awesome parents teaching their children the skills they will need to navigate this big world once on their own... So many parents cripple their children by doing everything for them... Then they go out into the world knowing nothing about shopping, budget's, nutrition or even how to care for a home on their own... I just found this family and I'm loving binge watching all the videos ❤❤

    Amber, when you said Spanish Harlem, it reminded me of the song by Ben E King, "There is a Rose in Spanish Harlem." It's about a rose that grows through the concrete in the city, always shaded from the sun. The singer is enchanted by this beautiful flower and dreams of taking it to his garden. I look forward to your shopping hauls every week. I love how the kids prance off to the food court and get their pizza or whatever they decide to eat. Such a joy to see kids so well behaved, especially in these days and time. I am going to have to go to Trader Joes. I have never been there and so many people say they really like it. Thank you all so much for sharing.

It is very inspiring because I'm always looking for new and interesting ideas. Would you ever do a video showing us your process for planning your menu for the week and making your grocery lists? All the best to you and your family!

    I used to put my 3 in one cart and had a 2nd cart for groceries. They had me put some lighter but bulkier groceries like paper towels in the cart with them and they loved to hide under them and pop up to ‘surprise’ other shoppers. Fun memories.

    Fun fact about butter, it’s similar to wine in that what goes into the cow affects the cream, the time of year, there’s a lot of things that can affect the quality of butter. I’m from PA so at a young age we get spoiled with what super fresh good butter tastes like, and grass fed from the markets is pretty close.

    Maybe having your Baker picking out a recipe, and then writeing out her own list, then discuss with you or Dad, then do all the shopping for it. She is not learning the most important skill of planning the cost. Just my opinion. Seems so confusing for everyone. I love that x
    she is learning. She does a wonderful job.🎉❤🎉. Happy Forth.

      Yes! Inflation has really been surprising. Also the local grocery stores around here don’t have deals because the rent for the stores and cost of labor is really high. I imagine things may go down in price. (At least I’m hoping so!)

    Hi Amber you're awesome and so sweet. I love your enthusiasm for always being positive in everything you all do and having a great time doing it in your video's. My favored times with you all is when the Family go's grocery shopping at Costco and Trader Joe's even Target. I Like seeing the Kido's ask Mom for their snacks and getting to sample all the samples they like to try. And when Mo wants to help with holding the items to put them in the cart. Or when SWEET MELODY asks Mommy so politely if she can have something she wants. Or when Melody wants to hold the bags as a big girl to be with Chloe and Anna in the group. She's so Cute. Love🥰you Melody. What will Naomi get to whip up her next dessert, I love it when she gets an idea an makes her next creation. Hi sweet Naomi. She's not only a amazing violinist, she's a little Ms.🧑‍🍳 Betty Crocker in the kitchen. Mo is at it again wants to be on camera.. Melody got her threats for the week. And there they go to the Food court to get their Yummies to eat. You guys really pack the cart up this week. WOW $616 Yep! those snacks really add up guys 🤣😊 Keep us wanting to see more of all you awesome shopping Hauls. Until next video. Keep safe Peace and Sweet Blessings. 😇❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏

      I think in order to answer that question. You have to know what you are actually asking. Are you asking if that's too high of a price for what they paid? Or is that too high for a week's worth of groceries for 10 people? You really can't use that figure for a week's worth of groceries because they went to another store in which I believed it was over three hundred dollars.

      Unfortunately in NYC there are not any specials. The local stores don’t have any unfortunately. I think the rent for the stores and the cost of labor here is too high for stores to offer deals.

    • @suzannesahl1699
      @suzannesahl1699 Год назад

      When I go shopping it takes a few hours to make the list. Because I try to go through the ads to see what is special and then put them on the list if it's something that can be part of a meal for the week. Then I look to see online what electronic coupons I have. The store that I shop at sends me coupons so I matched the coupons with whatever is on sale and then I do most of my shopping on the first Wednesday of the month and yet the senior ten percent discount. The last time I went shopping. The bill was over a $160 and $70 of that was taken off the bill, and I saved almost fifty percent of the original bill. So are you saying you don't have anything like that?

    • @TheHappyCaravan

      Trader Joe’s bread and chocolate is actually very reasonably priced at least for this city. At our local supermarket, the price is much higher.
