$3000.00 + Large Family Grocery Haul | Pantry & Freezer Stock Up
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- Our local grocery store is rather pricey, so it makes financial sense for us to have a well stocked pantry and freezer. In addition, we have to drive an hour to get to the city to more affordable shopping, and many times it isn't practical to do so. This year we took advantage of free shipping from Walmart, Target, Sam's Club and Amazon pantry.......can I say AMAZING. You place your order online and in a few days your pantry items are delivered to your door. #happymom :D Shelby
This lady reminds me of my aunt, I loved her. She use to make sack lunches for us we had 6 kids food was scarce alot of the time..and my Aunt would deliver our lunches just in time at the school office, with our names on the sacks. Rice krispy treats grapes bolony & chesse considered special occasion food in our house. 50 years ago. Thank You Aunt Marie. GODS HELPER.
I am reading this beautiful comment 4 years later and it’s made my heart full, your aunt was an amazing woman.😊
🥹🥹🥹 this is how family should be! What a great person your aunty is. ❤
Can you please do videos showing some of the meals you make or how to make them? Sorry for asking..didn't grow up with a mom and youtube has been how i taught myself to cook. Your very good at explaining and showing things so i think you would be equally good at that....pleeease ☺
My suggestion to is to watch some cooking channels also if you eat out write down what you and the guest ordered and look ut up on you tube and they will you how to make it too
Try foodnetwork.com also. Best way to learn in my opinion, look up Alton Brown "good eats" and Guy Fieri. He has "diners, drive-ins, and dives," plus "guys big bite." You on a budget? Try Sandra Lee, "semi homemade"
Mama Bear i agree ,, please show us some hearty roasts and meat recipes !!
Check out Good Wishes. The guy has a sense of humor too 😊
Tammy Harris Has
she literally has her own grocery store in her house lol
That is a good way to look at it Madeline :D Shelby
We call it Medra-Mart at my house. I buy in bulk when things go on sale and I've turned one of the rooms in our basement into my own grocery store. I once bought 20 packages of hamburger meat that were in patties (8 to a pack!) and since it was right after the 4th of July they had them on sale for fifty cents a package! They didn't have a limit so I bought ALL they had at that insane price! I also once bought 3 years worth of tuna in a can since the expectation date was 3 years away and they were only asking 35 cents a can! I figured we could easily go through 3 cans a week without getting tired of it. It's amazing how many ways you can fix tuna! My son was really sad when we ran out.
Thought what I'm thinking all i can think of is expiration dates😭😭
I have to buy in bulk every month!
Madeline Stainback a lot of money on groceries. Her husband must make good money
I don’t know why i like grocery halls but here I am on a marathon of them at 8am 😂 such a good video 🙃😁
Aw thank you Shelby
and here i am a month later doing the very same thing. at the same time and i live alone and rearly ever buy grocery.
And here I am 2 years later~love these hauls, pantry tours!😂
You probably like them because deep down you want a stockpile like they do that’s why I watch them
Never in my life did I think I'd be watching someone else talk about their groceries but this is fascinating to me 😁 I love seeing how people in different cultures cook. We live in north America but are Asian in background. I can safely say I've never bought brown gravy or ranch dressing mix but if it were me, I'd be buying gallons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil. My mother will buy pounds of garlic at a time run it through the food processor to mince it all in one go, then store it in an extra glass jar in oil so we never have to mince individual cloves each time we cook.
I know what you mean. Ken and I love going to the Asian market on Ord Street in LA, we have been going there for many years. I love going down the aisles and exploring all the new things. That is brilliant of your mom to mince a lot of garlic at one time, we use garlic in just about everything we cook. I love how fresh everything is in Asian markets. Hugs Shelby
My mom and aunt do the same thing with garlic!
Stealing this idea from Mom.
When you do the math... 3,000 dollars equals out to less then 58 dollars a week for 1 year... It's EASY to blow that kind of money on one nice dinner! You will save so much in the long run especially with the delicious meals you make!
It helps so much to have a stocked pantry/freezer to pull from, especially on hectic days. Like you said, just one meal eaten out can take a big bite out of the budget. You'll crack up, I was at the boys college awhile back and got a cup of coffee at the cafeteria.........sit down........they charged me 7 dollars. It wasn't anything fancy, just coffee. I couldn't believe it. I bought the kids those metal coffee mugs that day. LOL Hope you have a great weekend!!!
BUT you are averaging this on a whole year, so watch and she will be doing another grocery haul in the future and already has a stocked freezer and pantry goods.
@@chrisfry436 thats my problem too. When I blow 100$ on 1 trip on grocery, I always fool myself if I dont go next week, it will only 50$ a week. That never happend. The only way to do it is meal plans and stick with it, week to week. No matter how much I think I need some items, I will tell myself that I will come back next week to get it.
@@chrisfry436 plus I saw she had 3 bottles of 57 sauce already in the pantry, yet in the sam club/ walmart haul, she got another 57.
Let make it clear
The fruit and vegetables will prolly last a month it won't last for a year
I love shopping and my cabinets stocked full. Full cabinets gives you such a good feeling.
I know what you mean Anita. It saves so much money to be able to whip dinner up from the pantry, especially when you stock up on a good sale. Hope you have a fantastic weekend girlfriend!!!!!
TheQueensCabinet You too Shelby. Hugs
Yes! I get a little anxious when staples run low!
As we live paycheck to paycheck, we could never do something like this. It sure looks like fun to do. God bless.
JP don't say never, Ken and I lived pay check to pay check when we were first married. I would highly recommend Dave Ramsey's 6 baby steps, you won't regret it!!! Hugs Shelby
TheQueensCabinet Thank you! Will look into it right away.
NICE!!!!
I'm the same way. We stopped buying meat.. because if the cost. But we own our home and are debt free.
Two meat items that go a long way are whole pork loins and boneless c hicken breast. You should be able to find both in the $1.69 to $1.99 range. I slow roast the pork loin in the slow cooker , shred it, add some refried beans, spanish rice and several packets of taco seasoning and it makes a huge batch of pork taco meat. Tortillas are fairly cheap and its so handy to have on hand. I cook the chicken breast in half water half chicken stock and shred it also, then add it to pre boiled carrots, celery and frozen noodles to make a thick soup that I put over inexpensive mashed potatoes. I stay away from red meat until I find chuck roasts and ground hamburger (80/20) in the 1.99 to 2.49 lb range.
Other youtubers take note. Shelby this is definitely the way to buy! You're a class act the way you have compared prices and really taken advantage of buying in bulk and stocking up as opposed to all those people who spend a fortune every week. I salute you! Enjoyed this whilst I ate my lunch, thanx for posting :)
Aw thank you!
When the only local grocery store is also the gas station you know you are going to be paying much more and have a much smaller selection. I don't think everyone understands the reality of food deserts in rural areas.
Well said
Wow Shelby girl, you got it going on!! This has to be the largest RUclips pantry stockup. Most folks just go to one store, but you really maximized your $ and shopped around. Very wise. You’re right, just saying “this series of hauls was $3,000” seems like a lot of cash, but what would you have spent had you shopped local? $4,000-$6,000? Loved the shipping option. Walmart impressed me. I wish I could do a stock up like this, but my finances won’t permit, nor do I have the room. I’ll just have to love vicariously thru you. Certainly a true blessing. Thank you for sharing your skills with us!
I simply love and adore you!
Vicariously*
Alice Ribeiro oops 😉
Please share what do you do with the chilies .... I’m drooling over here Dang it momma I love your hauls... YOU ARE THE BOMB... KEN IS THE BOMB TOO. XOXOXO
Tia TT I was thinking this very thing!
I love seeing stuff like this when I purchase my house it’s gonna be full just like this. It hits me differently because I came from very humble beginnings and didn’t always have a full fridge and cabinets. 💯💕
Just listening to her listing off the items and their prices was therapeutic.
I just did the same thing!
Freezer and pantry is stocked up for my family for the next 6 months. Spent about a $1000 and your right it sure does save money!
Thanks for the video, you gave me a lot of ideas on what to get next time 🤗
Kaitra that is so awesome! I agree it saves money in the long run for sure. Hope you have a great weekend!!! Shelby
I love going back and watching your stock-ups! The comment sections get so funny after this long 😂😂
They do Hannah. Some lady cursed me out when Covid shortages appeared, saying I was hoarding all the toilet paper and I should be strung and quartered. I pointed out that the pre covid stock up video was serval months old and I hadn't gone to the store from late January 2020 until about Father's Day because New York was hit so hard with Covid. I literally hadn't gone shopping for over 6 1/2 months during the shortages. Although I hadn't bought not one roll of toilet paper during the shortages, I still offered to send her some if she was in need, but all I got was crickets. LOL
@@TheQueensCabinet some people are just out to make life hard on others. Those of us who see you as a friend know you're not the kind of person they were making you out to be. I know Covid hasn't been easy, but some folks don't care to fact check before calling someone out of their good name. Be glad I didn't see it, because then you'd have had 2 of us cussing 😂😂😂 I'd been all over that lady! I'm too mean (when needed) for people to act like that!
Amazing. If you saved $50.00 a month you would have $600.00 to go toward a yearly haul. (think of it as a Christmas gift for the family). If you saved monthly $100.00 at the end of the year you would have $1200.00. To me this makes sense. You would have to devote yourself strictly towards a budget. If nothing else the Corona Virus should teach people to be more frugal.
I don't know how I stumbled across this video. But for some strange reason this was very relaxing. Never would have thought about shopping for a whole year. I know that definitely takes a lot of planning ..and like you said free delivery was definitely probably a big game changer. It's amazing just have it delivered to your door and not having to go to the grocery store. You've definitely got a new subscriber
Hi Shelby, greetings from Southern California! I rarely comment on YT videos but I wanted to say how much joy I feel when watching your videos no matter what the content. You are such a wonderful human and this world needs a million Shelby's and Ken's that is for sure. Thank you for sharing with us, xoxo p.s. 111 degrees here today, thought I moved to Arizona for a minute, LOL
I am so glad you commented and thank you for such beautiful words of encouragement. We lived in Riverside, and Ken's parents still live in Huntington Beach, I don't miss the triple digits. Hope you have a great weekend and stay cool. Shelby
You are possibly the most organized person on Earth. :)
I still have a lot more areas of the house to organize but i'm slowly getting them done. It sure helps save time having things in their place. Hugs Shelby
Your pantry is a grocery store to most! That haul is huge! Enjoyed watching the prices as I am from Canada! Your food costs are so much cheaper then ours!
Cindy so many of my Canadian viewers have said how expensive food prices are there. I can't even imagine. Hope you are having a great weekend!
Same!! It’s crazy the price difference here
This pantry makes my OCD heart happy! It's a relief to see a full pantry too.
Also I have had the wonderful pleasure of eating roasted green chili peppers from New Mexico!! Yum yum!!
we are not that financially stable, but we go sometimes on grocery stores, mostly we only go to a market near us, and i really like watching these types of videos because it made me really happy and i always daydream about having this much food, and i just watched this 35min video and this just made my whole freaking night, this vid made me so happy, and ithink what made the video so amazing and beautiful is because youre very calm and very sweet lady❤️
I’ve never seen such a big haul in my life lol ! Was exciting to watch thanks for sharing. How awesome it was to be able to have stuff delivered to you!
Thanks Stephanie. The Walmart Pantry wad awesome! Whomever thought it up should get an award. Have a great weekend! Shelby
Love your channel. I know you and your husband have worked hard to get where you are in life , but I can't help thinking how blessed from the Lord above you are also . He must think you are very deserving . Good things come to those who do good things . Bless your kitchen in the year ahead . Can't waite to see what y'all make out of all that stuff . !
Barbara thank you for the beautiful words of encouragement, so heartfelt! I want to share something that has moved me to really think how Blessed we all are, so profound. It is a group of photos that shows what a week of groceries looks like around the world. ruclips.net/video/lGfZRSjmpDg/видео.html Again thank you and God Bless!
Never in my whole life have I ever heard of canned roast beef! I can't wait to see what you do with it. Your recipes are always inspirational.
It makes the best shredded beef tacos or taquitos. One can makes about 12. Here is a video showing how to use the canned beef; it starts @ 6 minute 54 second mark. ruclips.net/video/hRwj3ngQlyM/видео.html
This was the Mount Everest of grocery hauls😱 WOW!!!! I've never seen such an enormous haul before.😱 You did get some great deals 💃 It's so smart of you to stock up like that 👌 It must be nice 😊 Your pantry is very organized👌 I love it💕 You guys are very fortunate 🙏 Thanks so much for sharing such an impressive haul. Take care 👍👍👍
Donna thank you for the encouragement and kind words. You made my day!! Hugs Shelby
I don't eat meat or dairy but I like to watch these giant grocery hauls because it gives me tips on how to be a real adult. :)
Aw thanks Stevie Rae
Sitting watching this while drinking my morning coffee! As someone from across the pond... I can't get over all the different products and brands you have! One thing that really strikes me is all the plastic that is used by American produce companies! Great video 😁
Lauren I really dislike all the plastic too. We are putting in our garden plot (doing the back to Eden garden) and can't wait to start growing our own produce. Hugs Shelby
this is a year haul not a month to month type of situation - I think that is the difference. Everyone's approach varies to provide for their family. This looks delish!
This is the best so far,I love it that its a year stock,but also your the only one who tells us the price,96percent of your food is healthy
Aw thanks Kacy. I loved the Walmart Pantry delivery, they had some really good online specials too. Have a great weekend!! Shelby
That’s so wise to get it done. Saves gas, energy, time, headache.... What an enormous peace of mind! I did the math on what my bi-weekly grocery money budget is...and it came out to just under $3000 for the year...... So....you’ve gotten me thinking! New subscriber!!
Thanks Robin and welcome to my channel :D Shelby
Dam I wish I had that kind of money to spend on food! I’m so jealous! I live 30min from a pricey small grocery store and an hour from a Walmart so I get it but I just can’t afford to do it! I also am a disabled widow with one child at home still so I only have $250 to $300 a MONTH to use for groceries so I have to be careful on what I get! Some of your ideas do help and I’m grateful! God bless you !
Can I just say your stockpile is a DREAM! my husband and I are in a pretty small town house with zero pantry space and I'd die for that much space to hold all the tasty things I have no room for!! Lol
I know what you mean Emily, my first pantry was a half cupboard. I always dreamed of a big pantry......I told Ken I would rather have that than diamonds LOL Have a great weekend!!!
Wow!! That was a mega haul!! It must feel awesome to be so well stocked!! Your pantry is beautiful , so well organized. Can't wait to see the beautiful meals that come out of all that!
Aw thanks Nancy, I was so glad I didn't have to haul all that stuff. Who ever invented the pantry delivery service deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.
OMG Shelby what a wonderful haul and your organisation is amazing. Just looking at the amount of plastic in the Target delivery boxes.we do all we can in Europe to minimise plastic but its a waste of time when everything is packaged in plastic. Wont the manufacturers and grocers ever help us to help the planet? Not getting at you, you are a brilliant homemaker. Xx
I agree with other commenters. It takes alot of dedication and focus to keep track of all expiration dates and manage unused items after opening them.
I loved watching this. You eat so completely differently to us. We don’t do spicy 🥵. Loved your video. Thank you.
Did you ever consider buying a half a cow or a half a pig?
This is the biggest haul that i've watched! And it is soooo satisfying to watch. 😍😍😍
Thanks :D
You could get half of a cow from a cattle farmer for around $400-$600 butchered. You choose how you want it cut or if you would prefer it to be ground. You would have around 450 lbs. of beef. You could do the same with a pig. We order our groceries online from Kroger, but we do a pickup. We live too far out for delivery.
OMGosh, I think we are so much alike. We ordered a cow two years ago and it was a HUGE Blessing. I am saving to do that again, maybe this winter! Shelby
Shelby you are such an inspiration! I’ve been married 5 months and have struggled with meal planning and making recipes that my hungry hubby likes! I’ve found myself coming to your channel a lot for inspiration. We have a large pantry, now I just need to figure out the best way to stock it up! Thanks for making such great content, God bless! 💗🙏🏼
You got this!!
Some people have all the luck i have to go to food banks the struggle is real
This was like grocery haul nirvana. Love it!
Aw thank you. Hope you are having a great weekend!
Im a 11 year old girl and instead of watching videos for kids I watch teacher videos and grocery hauls
Evie thank you, I feel so honored that you watch my channel. You are so mature, cosmopolitan and smart for your age. It is refreshing to see a young lady so self assured. Well done my dear!!! Shelby
I just stumbled across your video and channel. First off wow! While it may seem like a lot of money you’ll probably save a lot in the long run! Secondly I’m so jealous of your pantry I live in Scotland and we don’t have pantries here it’s just you fridge, freezer and cupboards, I’ll just need to live through you. Thirdly I applaud your organisation on this mammoth shopping trip! Finally, you are such a lovely and kind person, there are close to 2,000 comments and I have scrolled through so many and seen that you have replied to all the ones I’ve seen! To take time out your day and personally write a thoughtful comment to each person is admirable. I hope you continue to make amazing videos such as this one as you clearly have talent given by the lord for reaching out to people! Well done keep up the great work xx
I love that you and your family eat meat! So many people who put grocery hauls up on RUclips don’t eat much meat and that is how they control their grocery budget. I find it so helpful to see someone buy meat.
I don’t know how far away from you an actual Sam’s Club store is, but you should look into their meat case prices. They have lots of meat options that can be purchased at an even greater reduced price by buying a case at a time. Since you already buy large quantities of meat at a time that might be something that would work for your family!
Meghan thank you for mentioning that, I just looked online and yes the prices are even better! It will pay for us to drive the hour and 15 minutes next time we do a big stock up. Again thanks for sharing Shelby
I just subscribed but I love your delivery hauls. I just bought $600 walmart haul myself, but i bought dishes, pots & pans, blender, coffee pot, towels all kinds of stuff. I love shopping online because I can take my time & they deliver right to the door!! Awesome....I bought a big haul for my sister for her birthday...she had no idea & it was such a fun surprise for her!!
Hi Lilly and welcome to my channel. I agree, the person who invented the pantry delivery should be awarded the Pulitzer Peace Prize. You are such a great sis for doing that!!! God Bless Shelby
I can’t believe how bare your cupboard in your pantry are. I binged your videos today and started my pantry .
I like watching these to imagine having this much food we can’t even afford ground beef lol but these videos make me feel better.
Being a sensible steward for you and you're lovely family 😊 💕 💕 blessings from UK 🇬🇧 xxx
Thank you Sonia for such kind and supportive words. You made my day! Hugs Shelby
TheQueensCabinet xx keep up the great vlogs xx 💕 💕
If you don't have a video already, please do one on how you menu plan. I am so weak in this area. Thanks.
I have had a lot of requests for this, so will add to the list. Hope you are having a great weekend!!!
Oh my gosh Shelby!! I don't even know where to start girl, first off can I come and stay with you for about a month? Just so I can watch and LEARN (and eat of course) this haul was amazing your groceries and the pantry finale was just Goals girl👍. I can't wait to see your next weekly meal plan. P.S. please share the recipe for that strawberry cake you were talking about.
Chrissy I always read your comments with an Aussie accent and it makes me HaPpY!!! Here is the cake recipe

I have no idea how stumbled upon this video. I woke up in the middle of the night looking for something to watch while I fell back asleep. Now I am intrigued and confused all at the same time. I wonder if visiting the local butcher or farm would save even more money. That way you know ur meat is SUPER fresh, and raised properly. PLUS you are helping the local economy. How many ppl live in this house???? I don't think the Duggars spend this much on food! I was expecting to see a train line of children helping unpack all of this food, but no. It's just Shelby and Kenny. (lol) I do applaud Shelby for taking advantage of the free shipping option for delivery. Who wants to be doing all of that lifting on regular staple items? - - Well, I feel the sleep coming on. (yawn) I barely made it 10 mins into the video. - - OH! I was wrong. The Duggars spend this much EACH month.
Hey Candis and welcome to my channel. I sometimes have trouble sleeping too, not Ken though LOL We have a family of six, our boys are all college age. The "baby" is 6'5" and still growing. We do a annual freezer/pantry stock up because our one grocery store is ridiculously expensive. We fill in with perishables as needed. Glad you were able to fall back to sleep :D Shelby
This is an big food haul and some may say that it is expensive but in reality you did great because you have enough to last your family for a year! And food is costly period. You got a lot of savings in your shopping. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Now THAT is a food haul!😋🍔🍱🍖🍞🍗🍛🍟
Aw thanks, hope you are having a great weekend!
Wow what a lot of unpacking and organising!! Great video xx
Thanks Sarah, thank goodness most of it was delivered. Hope you have a great weekend!!
Thank you. We are all excited for the next match of the World Cup. We are hoping England win. We are having very hot weather at the moment so think a watermelon is on my grocery list today x have a blessed weekend
Shelby - I made your compound garlic butter last night and the garlic bread was a big hit. Tonight I decided to add it to corn on the cob and it was delicious. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Lori you will find so many ways to use the garlic butter.....stir fry shrimp, I have a scalloped potato recipe that uses it, you can add it to cooked rice for an instant flavor punch...........:D
Y'all need a .99 cent store.. you can buy ANYTHING there, and most are name brand items. Look them up on Google, see if they'll ship to you.
With that said, buying in bulk you're only paying $250 a month in groceries plus the little things you have to pickup throughout the month (bread, milk). That's pretty damn good. Great job!
queen of grocery hauls! i’m obsessed
Thanks Elisia :D
Thanks for sharing this, I know it had to be a job just to record it all! I don’t know why I haven’t thought of ordering delivery from Sam’s Club, I usually order from Amazon and Walmart but Sam’s has a few things I can’t get anywhere else, thanks. The McCafe coffee is our favorite, great deal!
The cool thing about Sam's is the instant rebate they have in the stores, they give you with the online order. Like Walmart they packed the items very well and had free shipping. Hope you have a great weekend!
WOW I HAVE 3 KIDZ AN ONLY CAN SPEND 60 TO 80 BUCK ON FOOD GOD BLESS YALL
WAS SO BORED AND CAME ACROSS YOUR VIDEO AND I IMMEDIATELY SUBSCRIBED...
Amazing how cheap your Groceries are. Here in My State of Victoria Australia It seems your groceries are cheaper especially Meat. Great Haul
If a Zombie apocalypse happens I'm going to Shelby 's 😇
Holy haul! I wish I had the space to shop like that!! We literally eat everything we buy in a week...one day I’ll have more space to stock up. Very fun to watch!
When Ken and I were first married I had a TINY cupboard for a pantry, if you could call it that. I always dreamed of a big pantry, it is what sold me on this house. Hugs Shelby
Tip for ranch mix. They have a big bottle of ranch seasoning instead of buying the packages.
I will be on the look out next time. Thank you for mentioning Shelby
Your video popped up in my recommendation list today and I am so glad I watched. I have subscribed so I can see more. Awesome hauls and price savings. Can you share on how you make your own vanilla please? TFS!
Hi Rene and welcome to my channel, we have a great group here. I made the vanilla extract video and here is the link. Shelby

One time at Aldi's I found 24 ounce packages of the sugar cured bacon for $2 each. We got 10 packs for our family of 3. And then again another time with 12 oz for a $1. 49 each.
How large is your family? And you must be a housewife to have the time to do all of the organizing! I LOVE IT...I watch your videos with my mouth wide open in awe!
Hello Mrs. Shelby. My hidden flavor is always steak too Mrs. Shelby. Yes that whatcha. You're stocked for life. I love steak and bacon. Oh yes. I love bacon too. thanks Mrs. Shelby. Yes. Thank you very much Mrs. Shelby. I appreciate anytime you lend us a helping hand for anything you get us. I mean anything you buy, make or just thinking of us. You are stocked I say for atleast a year girl. Maybe 2 years. Lol. Great pantry Mrs. Shelby. Thank you so much. God bless you and Ken.
Wow! This is just amazing! I loved this video.
Aw thanks Jess
Great way to stock up and maximize your savings, I appreciate your detailed and organized pantry, tfs
Thanks you Mrs Vee!
WOW that's a huge savings!!! I spend about $100 a week on groceries if I lived in a place where I could store all of this I would be inspired to do the same! Future goals for sure!
Thank you for the kind words of encouragement Caressa!!
I love your hauls. Your pantry makes me drool. I don’t even have a pantry. So I can live vicariously through you!
Hey JoJo I haven't seen you in awhile. How is your daughter doing?
I love your grocery haul. Because we cannot afford to spend $3,000. at a time, I just double up on sales each week to keep my pantry stocked. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!
Woooww absolutely fabulous haul! Well done Shelby!!! Lots of good stuff To go through the year !!What is more satisfying to have full shelves of groceries? Love your laugh hun btw!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️big hugs and have a lovely weekend!!!😍😍😍😘😘😘
Aw Sonia thank you for the beautiful words!
Wow! I remember doing that when my girls lived at home. Now I'm still learning how to shop and cook for just my husband and my self. LOL
Candy V you will never get used to it, my dad used to shop for a family of 12 and now there only my parents and my brother and he still shop for about the same mambers 😂
sara Hassan I made a meat loaf last week my husband just made his last meet loaf sandwich. He said he's had enough meat loaf to last him until January 2019 lol
I am having the same problem. Now when I "over cook" I put some of it in the freezer then when we go to visit out college age daughter I take her a cooler of food. Win/ Win for both of us. :-) One day I will learn to cook for two.
We are empty nesters also, but with a twist. My hubby drives truck all week, so I'm here by myself. I don't cook for just me, so if I don't have anything I can grab, I just don't eat. Not good, but some days when I look in the fridge/freezer, I don't want any of it lol
Has anyone considered canning the leftovers? We are a family of 9 and people insist on leftovers but never eat it! I started pressure canning leftovers if I get a chance.
I am loving your videos!!! I love when my food storage is full and organized. You have given me a lot of great ideas. I would love to see your big food storage area!!!
I know what you mean Andrea, I really need to get back into canning this fall. I did can 5 pints of brandies cherries yesterday, my neighbor brought me some cherries. So good over ice cream, kind of like Cherries Jubilee. I need to do some work organizing my bulk storage, we have been busy with a lot of outsider work this work. I'm thankful it's Sunday and I can rest LOL SHelby
this is the mom I aspire to be
Awe thank you, that has been my life goal. You made my day! Shelby
Omg. I wish I had the space you have. Awesome. Love the deliveries. You are a great cook.
Linda my first kitchen had a tiny half cupboard for a pantry. Some people dream of diamonds and such, I always wanted a large pantry hahahahaha Ken did a great job building the shelves. Have a good weekend! Shelby
This reminds me of home i was raised in the middle of no where land 12 people in all 10 acres of farmland closest anything was 3 hours driving distance and in the winters it could take a sold month to get to us we did trips like this once a month and right before the first frost we would drop thousands on food. We all so had 5 5,500 gallon tanks for propane and gas for the winter. And fire wood too. We didnt have indoor electricity. We had 2 pot belly stoves.
That is a ton of propane! We lived in LA area our entire life and I have been enjoying the change. I just wish we had a decent grocery store!
TheQueensCabinet yes where i was in vw in them three hours we had 4 stop lights and 3 pavement roads lol it was the best thing ever now we did have a "out light" witch was where we had electricity ran we had 3 of the commercial freezers 2 commercial refrigerator's in one of the big long deep freezers and later on we had two of the side by sides refrigerator freezers we hunted fished we used it all even the bones to make arrows. If it moves i can kill drain skin de meat it cook it and use the hole carcass. Back then it was simpler living.
bubbles_ 61104 I bet you had a nice big garden!
So many are hungry and not able. Smh. Try living in the Washington DC area. Nothings cheap. My family was 3 and I spent just $300.00 was my max. Chicken was eaten. Ham once a year on holiday season. Had to really budget. Love Mrs. Shelby...
Ken and I have had times of struggle, but I know it was the Lord preparing our hearts for service. We have been involved with the food ministry for nearly 3 decades. In my humble experience, 99.9 percent of those that go to the food bank are working families or elderly on a fixed income. Food prices continue to climb and it doesn’t seem to have a cap in sight. I honestly don’t know how young families make it these days especially in big cities like DC. 💕 Shelby
Then move. lol Just find new jobs in Iowa and start over, bish.
Hi I've just found your channel and I love it!!! Loving the food haul. I live in the U.K. where houses are smaller. You are living my dream. ❤️❤️. Love all your videos. xx
I love this, since it’s an annual thing you know exactly how much you’ve spent on food for the year and you can plan your meals around this. 😋👍🏼 I just never knew meat can stay in the freezer for a year! If i leave mine in the freezer for too long they’ll get freezer burn 😆
Patricia I don't know if you are familiar with the Food Saver, I love mine. You can vacuum pack the meat airtight and it prevents freezer burn, I think they advertise it keeps things fresh 5x longer, or something like that. The bags can be a little pricey, but I buy mine in bulk once a year or so to get a discount. Shelby
Patricia Anne .....get on the Food Saver email list...sales all year long.
“McCafe, gotta put your pinky up!” THAT made my night !🤣
:D
How many people in your family? I'm asking because I can't imagine consuming that much peanut butter in my lifetime.
That is not even a lot. Between me and my son we eat about 4 pounds a month.
Binge the Good Stuff this is why obesity is a problem in america
@@ozzyya4713 I am far from obese, and my son has gained 1 pound in two years.
Yeah. I was wondering how many people were in her family too. And how many freezers she has!☺
@@KM-pp4je SEVEN, freezers that is. Yes. Seven and they, LITERALLY, pay for themselves (they sell back electricity to the power company and the 7 freezers are needed for some sort of solar, generator, battery, configuration).
Wow thank you so much for sharing. I’ve been binge watching your haul videos and they are awesome.
Your organizational skills are outstanding 🤗
WOW!!! Amazing job, Shelby!! Must be a great feeling to have your major grocery shopping done for the next year. Just did a smallish Costco haul today...haven't the room for a whole lot. Besides, there's only two of us old folks and we don't eat much any more. :-| We came home drained from the effort of walking around that big store so I know what you mean about the blessing of having your groceries delivered. If I weren't such a control freak--wanting to pick out my own groceries, I'd probably look into having them delivered. It may eventually come to that, tho'. :-D Thanks for all of the meal ideas. Hugs.......
Sunny I know what you mean about liking to pick out your groceries, it's good to know you have an option. I sure hope you two are having a great weekend. Hugs Shelby
That's a great idea for storing seasonings or dip mixes in a Tupperware container. I would have had the butchers at Costco slice those large portions of meat into steaks to save a lot of time. Most places will slice larger cuts for you for free.
The butchers always seem so helpful. I would love to find a used Hobart slicer in good condition, I would sure use it. :D
They have a wide variety of Hobart's on Ebay and Sam's Club has quite a few slicers on their website. No Hobart but they are made in Germany.
Your pepper/chili stash was everything....wow!
I’m reading through the comments and this woman is very nice on screen as well as off screen. She just got a new subscriber, I am going to be 19 soon and love food and organization. My dream would be to have her pantry!!!!
I'd love to see you cooking some of the delicious meals you mention in this video. You must have a full table come dinner time!!! I love that feeling when the pantry and freezer is full. 💖
Thanks. I agree it is a great feeling. :D Shelby
Amazing!! I struggle just to make dinner everyday.
Renee I have been there! We save all year to do our annual stock up, but in the end it saves us so much money.
How is Target ever cheaper? I've never ever gotten a "deal" from them NOT once!
I noticed that they were a little more overall, and they didn't package items very well. I had a lot of dented cans from Target, Walmart did a much better job. I'm sticking with Walmart. Shelby
I find alot of things cheaper at Target. Even more so if you use the cartwheel app
@Cyndi Rothrock Sam's always is the best deal on most of your items ! I promise , it's In everyones best interest to comparetion shop, all these stores because everyones area is different!!
Target near me marks things down that are about to expire. I got five dollars off per package of this normally expensive vegan meat alternative the other day. It was nice to stock up. Today they had a lot of buy two get one free and they did have better prices now then they did before.
Cyndi Rothrock .55 a can is still high. Ive never paid more than .40 a can but I also live in a "food desert" it takes 40 minutes to get a decent prices grocery store. But because we're so rural we have LOTS of farmers markets that things are waaay cheaper
Just came across your channel and i loved it . I will be subscribing and catching up on all the other vlogs x
Thank you and welcome to my channel. We have a great group here, and I am so glad you will be joining us. Shelby
It’s great. You so kind. God bless you all
Thank you for the kind words! Shelby
I like to freeze the baguettes for garlic bread! Cut them in half spread garlic butter and then wrap in foil ( for easy baking) and freeze!
That is a great tip Hannah! Thank you Shelby
Love your videos. I copied you're spice cabinet jars but created a 6 level shelf Best idea ever!!! Thank you for sharing your ideas. Blessings
Girl coming from you that is such a compliment, besides I have been copying you for years LOL Good to see you are doing well! Love ya
I would love for my pantry to look like a grocery store, One Day.
Keep working on it a little here and a little there, You got this!!!! Hugs Shelby
Great haul! My ears perked up when you mentioned the grade b vanilla beans. I would love to try making some homemade vanilla. May I ask your source and do you have a recipe for it?
Linda I made a video on this because so many requested it.
ruclips.net/video/VS3CuSgPE2A/видео.html
Vanilla Extract Ingredients:
half gallon Ball canning jar
1 pound Grade B Madagascar Vanilla Beans
8 cup Vodka
Sterilize jar in boiling water for ten minutes. Split vanilla beans and add to jar. Fill jar with Vodka and seal. Let sit in dark, cool place in pantry. Shake every month or so. I make mine at the Holidays for the next year, and this recipe makes a beautiful concentrated vanilla extract. The longer it sits, the better it gets.
This is so much fun to watch!
