This might sound weird, but I was in the middle of an anxiety attack and nothing I was doing was helping me calm down. I made myself sit and watch something that I knew would be fun, and by the end of your video I had relaxed. Thanks for helping bring a little joy to my life :)
Allie awww bless you x I know that feeling . Next time you feel one coming on try going up and down the stairs a few times if you can . And just concentrate on your breathing after . I know I find this so relaxing too . You tube is my drug lol . It’s just adrenaline remember that next time and you will be ok I promise xxx
What a sweet, sweet comment Allie...I really hope your anxiety improves. I have anxiety and panic attacks so I know personally how hard it is to get yourself out of them. So cool that you found something that helped :)
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"
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.
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.
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.
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!!!!!
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 :)
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
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!
Also ..does the stuff you order off online have longer shelf life.. I have noticed the stuff in the store will expire in just two weeks .. so I can’t stock up. Hope this is a clear question. =)
Kelly I use greensavers in the veggie/fruit bins and change the filters every 3 months www.containerstore.com/s/oxo-greensaver-crisper-inserts/d?productId=11001490&q=greensaver When I store meat in the freezer I package it in Food Saver bags. I try and buy in bulk once a year to get a better price, they say it keeps things fresher 5xs longer. I know it prevents freezer burn. Best kitchen gadget ever.
This was the first time I ordered online and got mostly pantry stuff, the expiration dates were about two years out. Hopefully I am answering your question? :D Shelby
TheQueensCabinet I was going ask about the expiration dates for the foods. At the store I always go grab ones in the very back because most of the time they do the fifo method at grocery stores.
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 🤗
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. 💯💕
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.
I noticed quite a few of your items you can get it at Sam's!!example I think it was Target you bought individual four packs of hidden valley ranch at Sam's you can get the big container for 479 it's going to be three boxes or four boxes of what you got!! Serval of your items where that way! Just for an FYI! I know it's hard to comparetion shop all stores! But thought I would share so you could check it out for yourself 😊
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
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!
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
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
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.
Always been a fan of grocery hauls and an advocate for preparedness no matter your pantry size but girl....your pantry and freezers are goals!!! Came up in my recommended feed and now I’m a subscriber.
Welcome to my channel Chelsea, we have a great group here. You might like some upcoming videos if you are into preparedness, our solar is going in.....yes!!! We have been waiting for the electric company's engineer to sign off on our 400 amp upgrade. Everything else was approved months ago. Ken is doing a wood burner broiler this summer too. Cool stuff coming. 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 ruclips.net/video/VS3CuSgPE2A/видео.html
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!
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.
Hi Shelby. I saw in comments you did dave Ramsey. We're on step 2,chugging along. Could you do a video of how long it took you to complete step 2,amount of debt, and what your top favorite ways were to cut through corners to get to where you are. Also are you still doing his baby steps? If so what step you are on now. You have given my husband and I hope that will took be able to live like no one else debt free. To have solar and shop big hauls like this! Just find your channel and already loving it! Such an inspiration!
Step 2 was by far the hardest, but keep at it and then all the rest fall into place. We are on 7, and also funding the kids schooling. One of our boys wants to go to Carnegie Melon for his masters, yikes! I told Ken we might need to come out of retirement. LOL Keep up the great work guys!!!
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!
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!
Just curious, how many freezers and refrigerators do you use for all your hauls? Do you have meals planned for the full year before your start your yearly grocery haul? I think what you do makes a lot of sense and probably saves a lot of money in the long run!) Thanks for sharing! 😊
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
Oh my goodness!!! I am drooling over your American food prices!! That haul would have easily been $6k Australian! For example, that 98 box of granola bars for $9.99 - we typically pay about $7 for 6 bars 😱😱😱 Amazing buys, makes me want to clean out my pantry, do some meal planning and then stock it up again! Thanks for taking the time to make this video for us.
I am always shocked at the prices in Australia and New Zealand. I used most of the items in my pantry and freezer the past few months, it was nice re stocking it. Hope you have a great weekend. Shelby
They do definitely have cheap prices, I did notice a lot was very similar to here (nz) like the beans, tomatoes etc. our prices are higher but our wages are a lot higher too so I think it probably works out similar. Maybe not the muesli bars though haha.
Everywhere I've seen says Australian minimum wage is $18/hr.. our US dollar equates to $1.36 in Australian dollar, and where I live our minimum wage is $8.10/hr..
This is a huge HUGE eye opener for me and you have inspired me to give this a try!! Even if I do a couple months at a time until I get the hang of it but I want to do this!! Thank you SO much for this video.
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
Great question. I shop weekly for perishables. For fruit and veggies I use the greensaver filters, and change them every 3 months. They sure help www.containerstore.com/s/oxo-greensaver-crisper-inserts/d?productId=11001490&q=greensaver
how long did it take you to get to this point of stocking up ? i’ve been married for 3 years, two babies and can’t seem to stock pile and organize like this. my issue is space and large sums of money to buy the stock pile.
Kasey your comment is one of the best questions I have had on my channel. I remember being in your exact position a long long long time ago hahahahaha......Ken and I went through a time when there was more month than money, once we only had 17 dollars to spend on groceries for the two of us for two weeks. Back then you could not charge groceries on your credit card, it was cash and carry. I went to the store and bought all the fixings for bean tostados, I knew that would be cheap. They were delicious, but as the days went by we ran out of cheese, sour cream, avocado, lettuce and tomato. All we had for about ten days was beans and corn tortillas. We ate them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. During those two weeks we had so much to be thankful for. A friend of mine gave me a whole bag of lemons from her tree; I made lemonade, lemon bars, lemon everything. It was amazing how one simple ingredient made such a huge difference. I went to my parents house and picked oranges, and we had orange juice for breakfast every morning. I remember how amazing that fresh orange juice tasted and thinking this must be what rich people drink everyday. :D Someone brought doughnuts into work and instead of taking my usual jelly filled, I chose a maple bar. Ken loves maple bar doughnuts. I wrapped it up to share with him. I found a dollar and some change in my work locker and bought milk on the way home that night. It was such a treat, I was tickled how something so humble brought Ken such joy. Kasey he savored that maple bar with much delight. That experience changed me and Ken, we decided that we wanted to build our pantry up and also get out of debt. I firmly believe that the Lord gives us trials to prepare us, I believe in this case he was preparing us to have a grateful heart, and get our household in order. The night before payday, we were in bed thinking about what we would have for dinner the next night, I knew I married the right guy when Ken said he had been craving bean tostados and could we have that for dinner.......we laughed for about 5 minutes straight. We had both worked some overtime the previous two weeks, so when we did get our paychecks we had a little extra money. We took some of it and did a mini pantry stock up. I was way more mindful in getting the basics, each ingredient I added opened the possibilities of making more and more recipes. Peanut butter, tuna, flour, pasta, oatmeal, tomatoes......every time I added something, there were more things I could make. The rest of the extra money was able to pay off some debt. We continue this model, and we saw our pantry grow and our debt get smaller. It felt great the both of us working towards the same goals and seeing progress. You really see progress about the 4th month into it. My suggestion to you is to sit down with your husband and see if there is even 20 dollars extra that you could invest in your pantry each payday, above and beyond your current grocery budget. In about 4 months you will find that you have even more wiggle room in you food budget to stock up because your pantry is starting to get stocked up with basics. It will just get easier and easier. Keep investing that 20 dollars and buy things that are on sale that you guys normally use. Keep investing in your pantry, and when that is full get your freezer stocked, then baby wipes and diapers etc. Also meal plan and try not to go out to eat during this first four months, and hubby has to brown bag lunch for work. You will be amazed how much money you save. Get your husband to agree to just 4 months of not eating out, pinky swear it. If he normally drives through Starbucks each morning to work, out of habit, try and come up with a solution that can be made at home for much cheaper. If he eats fast food for lunch, pack his lunch the night before and include a note how happy you are that he is getting your finances in order. Encourage one another. Finally, start building a recipe binder. The first recipe I put in mine was my mom's pizza dough recipe. Pizza Dough -1Cup hot water -1 tablespoon sugar -1 packet dry yeast -1 1/2 Tablespoon olive oil -2 1/2 cups flour -1 teaspoon salt Mix water, sugar and yeast in a large bowl and let rest for 5-10 minutes until yeast is activated. Add oil, flour and salt. Mix to form dough ball, and then knead for 5 minutes. Let dough rest until it doubles in size. Roll dough out on a floured surface and form into round circle. I have a video on how to make ahead freezer pizzas. Instead of going out to pizza, if you can make your own it will save so much. It might just turn into a Friday night family tradition for your children! Wouldn't that be great!! Here is the link ruclips.net/video/XLkHJNJfo7c/видео.html As you build your recipe binder, you will grow your own tried and true recipes that your family loves. In doing so you are creating memories for your children. So beautiful! Kasey I hoped I helped encourage you, just know, you guys got this if you work as a team. Slow and steady wins this race. Ken and I have had a head start, we have been doing this almost 30 years........if you guys aren't familiar with Dave Ramsey, he has a great plan to get debt free. Step 2 is the hardest for sure, and cooking meals at home helps you get through it so much easier. After that you guys will be well on your way! The end result is not having a stocked pantry or having all your bills paid, it is simply freedom. Wishing you all the best Love Shelby
What a wonderful reply! I started to do that about a month ago. Each week I take a small amount of money to stockpile. Some weeks I can only spare 5.00 so I got a bunch of can veg's from Walmart for 38 cents each. Other weeks I was able to do up to 20.00 and got whole tomatoes for my Sunday dinners Walmart had them for 67 cents a can. I love how you put it Invest in your pantry. Just in a few weeks, I have a bunch of pasta 77 cents a box from Walmart, breadcrumbs, and tomatoes for sauce and canned vegs. I already see how it is helping us. I was with my job for 12 years and due to a merge lost my job and have had to make many changes but it always seems to work out. :)
danielle r Danielle you are very smart and yes even a little here and there adds up over time. I pray that the Lord Blesses you and your family. There was a channel here on RUclips called Minbound that used to show what he was able to get each month with 20 dollars. He lived on a small income, and he would cook from scratch. I loved to watch as his pantry grew each week, in a year or so it was completely stocked. It was sad to see his channel go, it was such an inspiration. I love that you shared and allowed yourself to be vulnerable. It says a lot about you. Much love Shelby
Wow! What an incredible story, and such an inspiration! You have a new subscriber here for sure. I loved this video and can't wait to watch your previous ones. I'm still dreaming of having an actual pantry one day, but we did just buy a decent sized deep freezer! Thank you so much for sharing your kind words and wisdom.
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!
Hi there! Your video came up in my recommended and now I will be subscribing. Loved watching your haul. We are just a family of 4 but I try to shop the same as you. Right now we rent so limited in extra space but I make the most of it. Can’t wait to get into our own house next year and be able to stock up more. It really is such a savings to stock up and then make meal plans around what you already have! Look forward to your other videos!
Shannon I have a lot more to do to get this house organized, but every system we put in place saves so much time down the road. All of our boys are college aged, our "baby" is 6'5" LOL 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
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
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
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❤️
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.
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!
WOW. Watching this video has given me ideas. Now that you have seen how much cheaper it can be with the free shipping option, do you think you will use it more often? I would LOVE it if you did a video of how you portion out your meats and then vacuum seal it.
I probably won't use Target because it wasn't package well, but I would use Walmart and Sam's because they did a great job packing the items. It was so convenient I would use this service again. I use a food saver to vacuum pack meat to our family size. I'll add it to the list to video. Shelby
Where is everything stored? How many deep freezers and refrigerators do you need? Hope got a good backup generator or underground cellar in case power goes out. Thanks
@@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).
I’m interested in your freezer and how you store it all...are you vacuum sealing and do you have more than one freezer? Can I see a video on that please.
I love OPI nail polish, I have a video that has all the swatches. OPI has such cute names, that one is, Amore at the Grand Canal. :D ruclips.net/video/CUgeGj8PXKU/видео.html
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
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!!
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
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!
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!!!
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
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
Hi Shelby. Enjoyed the video and understand and appreciate why you shop this way. A few questions. Do you have a running inventory list? You thought of so many things that I might not think of until I had a recipe that called for it. Also, with all your dried and powdered chili’s, I was surprised to see Taco Bell seasoning mix. LOL Do you ever make your own? And if you ever want it, I have a great pressure canning recipe for Sloppy Joes. 😀
Joan I keep an tight inventory of the freezer for sure, and then use it for meal planning. As for the Pantry, I can look at a glance and see the wholes. I do have an inventory of long term pantry stuff. The kids enjoy making Taco Bell tacos LOL hahahahaha I would love your canning recipe!!! How awesome is that? :D
Here’s the link to the Sloppy Joe recipe. I follow it exactly except add 1 cup of finely grated carrots (just to get some veggies into my veggie-deprived grandkids). Excellent flavor and a great “fast food” item at our house. www.sbcanning.com/2012/08/canning-sloppy-joe-manwich-either-way.html
How do you store your tomatoes lettuce and other salad things? I always buy a cucumber but it goes bad in one week 😔 and that’s in the veggie crisper in my fridge
Kerri I use the greensaver filters, and change them every 3 months. They sure help. www.containerstore.com/s/oxo-greensaver-crisper-inserts/d?productId=11001490&q=greensaver
Hey Shelby I work at Walmart and idk if you’re familiar w savings catcher or not. you submit your reciept (7 days old is the latest) and it compares prices a,one other grocery stores. If something is cheaper elsewhere (besides produce) they will give you the difference on a gift card.
I hear you on expensive groceries, I live in British Columbia Canada.. went up to the grocery store for a few things, one grocery bag was $45! It's brutal! This has to be the biggest pantry stock up I have ever seen.. Your house is absolutely stunning! I am starting to do my pantry stock up now before my kids go to school in September, although there are no places here that deliver !! So I'm a tad jealous :) great video!
Sarah you are beautiful and smart!!! Stocking your pantry as you can helps out in so many ways. Our family went to BC when I was a child, what a beautiful place to live!! I'd like to get back there and visit. Wishing you all the best Shelby
So are you!! :). It truly is beautiful here, very beautiful. We are lucky. Although we are in the middle of a heatwave currently..And the past week has been 33-34 degrees C .. Tomorrow is 37! Beautiful but hot! very hot.. had to do a throwback of the oldies and make an icebox cake .. no way that oven is going on! lol
Btw, have you heard of Shipt? It is a grocery delivery service. You should see if it’s available in your area because you can have produce, meat, and pantry items delivered.
Thanks for the hauls so helpful more than you know budget wise and all need help with menu planning for a single person, I'm using my second bedroom for a pantry my apartment kitchen does not come with a pantry. I like to be prepared and I don't like to go to the store all the time so I grocery shop online. Thanks girl for the ideas.
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 !
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
first time seeing your channel love it but I have 1 thing 2 say right now maybe more later..dont know what area you live in but your prices are so gosh darn high!!!!! Iive in California bay area & our prices are so so much cheaper!! I didn't realize how lucky & blessed we are in regards to prices! but you go girl seems like you are so organized cant wait 2 watch another video
Welcome to my channel, we have a great group here. Ken and I live outside of LA and we miss the grocery prices and all the wonderful produce. Hugs Shelby
I keep meaning to ask you if you do a long term storage along with your every day pantry. We have kept a long term storage pantry for years. I’d love to see a video on yours if you have one. Ours came in really handy this year. Also looking into solar for our main house. We have solar on our cabin already. Loved the video you put out of your solar system and your freezers. We already have two freezers. Would love more info on your system.
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 would love to stock my pantry like this, but the reality is I don’t cook often enough to warrant stocking my pantry with dry goods, canned goods etc for an entire year. The majority of it would eventually just go out of date. Maybe once we get out of this apartment with a tiny kitchen (which isn’t conducive to actually wanting to cook) and we have bought a house with an actual kitchen you can turn around in (you know what I mean right?) I will actually stock my pantry. Hubby already talks about getting a big chest freezer so he can stock up on meat to his hearts content (I am married to a t-Rex not an actual human male it seems haha), and I can stock it with meat for the dog as well. I can’t wait to have a kitchen that’s nice and big again.
You sound like me 30 years ago. My kitchen (well my whole house) was so small that I couldn't open the oven and fridge at the same time. And if Ken was in the kitchen we had to walk sideways LOL I wish you and your husband all the very best and hope you get the home of your dreams!!! Hugs Shelby
TheQueensCabinet we used to have a very big house with a huge kitchen, but then we emigrated to America and had to sell the house. The search will start for our new home once we get our green cards. Until then, tiny apartment and kitchen will have to suffice.
Desire that is exciting news!! We must have looked at 50 houses and this was the last one. I think the agent thought I would never find one I liked, but the moment I walked in it felt like home. You will know the right house when you find it. Good luck 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!!
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 👍👍👍
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.
Love your pantry and freezer. How many people do you cook for? I've changed my warehouse shopping from weekly to monthly. After seeing what you do. I'll be changing to every three months. Thanks! Can I get the cake recipe?
Thank you Michelle. Here is the cake recipe. Shelby Strawberry Cake Ingredients 1 box Strawberry cake mix, make batter according to the directions on box 6 oz box Strawberry Jello 1 cup boiling water 1 pounds fresh strawberries, stemmed and quartered ¼ cup sugar (for strawberries) 1 Tablespoon Cognac 1 cups heavy whipping cream 1/4 cup sugar (for whipped cream) Instructions Make Strawberry cake mix according to manufacturers directions in 13 x 9 inch pan. Once baked, remove from the oven and cool on cooling rack. Poke holes into cake about 2 inches apart with a wooden skewer. Mix Jello with boiling water, stir until jello is dissolved.

Place strawberries on the cake. Whip cream and 1/4 cup sugar until stiff peaks are formed. Place whipped cream over the layer of strawberries. Chill for several hours before serving.
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱When you buy so much of the same things and they expire before use, what do you do? I like to go in the store these days because I have to watch the date on stuff.. I have been sold thing in store that were out dated and on the shelves..😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
This might sound weird, but I was in the middle of an anxiety attack and nothing I was doing was helping me calm down. I made myself sit and watch something that I knew would be fun, and by the end of your video I had relaxed.
Thanks for helping bring a little joy to my life :)
Allie thank you. Simply thank you.........I just showed Ken you comment. You made my day, that is for sure. Bless your heart!!! Shelby
Me too omg small world! I had a rough night with anxiety too and this has made me so calm and happy to watch
Allie her voice calms me too lol . You guys are so blessed,
Allie awww bless you x I know that feeling . Next time you feel one coming on try going up and down the stairs a few times if you can . And just concentrate on your breathing after . I know I find this so relaxing too . You tube is my drug lol . It’s just adrenaline remember that next time and you will be ok I promise xxx
What a sweet, sweet comment Allie...I really hope your anxiety improves. I have anxiety and panic attacks so I know personally how hard it is to get yourself out of them. So cool that you found something that helped :)
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
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
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. ❤
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
With a family that size and a grocery bill that large i would love to see a tour of your liquor cabinet 😂
😂
her family aint that big i don't think lol 5 people i believe . but boys can definitely eat !!!. or maybe its just mine lol .
Josh Brennan 🤣🤣🤣🤣
krysta kosherr mahmod i think both sides’ parents- she does a lot of meals for them too,I think they are getting on and need a hand
Fire that video up 😂
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
Your pantry makes me smile. Having a big pantry, fully stocked and organized, is every mother's dream 😍😍 lol
I really miss seeing your stock up this year. I hope all is well. ❤
That was one of the most satisfying hauls I’ve ever experienced.
Thanks Bailey!
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!
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!
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.
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!
Can you show us how youstore stuff .. like how do you store your veggies. And meat..
Also ..does the stuff you order off online have longer shelf life.. I have noticed the stuff in the store will expire in just two weeks .. so I can’t stock up. Hope this is a clear question. =)
Kelly I use greensavers in the veggie/fruit bins and change the filters every 3 months
www.containerstore.com/s/oxo-greensaver-crisper-inserts/d?productId=11001490&q=greensaver
When I store meat in the freezer I package it in Food Saver bags. I try and buy in bulk once a year to get a better price, they say it keeps things fresher 5xs longer. I know it prevents freezer burn. Best kitchen gadget ever.
This was the first time I ordered online and got mostly pantry stuff, the expiration dates were about two years out. Hopefully I am answering your question? :D Shelby
TheQueensCabinet I was going ask about the expiration dates for the foods. At the store I always go grab ones in the very back because most of the time they do the fifo method at grocery stores.
Kathy Heskett Targets customer service was fantastic about replacing. Shelby
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 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. 💯💕
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
I noticed quite a few of your items you can get it at Sam's!!example I think it was Target you bought individual four packs of hidden valley ranch at Sam's you can get the big container for 479 it's going to be three boxes or four boxes of what you got!! Serval of your items where that way! Just for an FYI! I know it's hard to comparetion shop all stores! But thought I would share so you could check it out for yourself 😊
Thank you Tony! Shelby
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
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!
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.
Always been a fan of grocery hauls and an advocate for preparedness no matter your pantry size but girl....your pantry and freezers are goals!!!
Came up in my recommended feed and now I’m a subscriber.
Welcome to my channel Chelsea, we have a great group here. You might like some upcoming videos if you are into preparedness, our solar is going in.....yes!!! We have been waiting for the electric company's engineer to sign off on our 400 amp upgrade. Everything else was approved months ago. Ken is doing a wood burner broiler this summer too. Cool stuff coming. 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
ruclips.net/video/VS3CuSgPE2A/видео.html
You look great with bangs! Thanks for these helpful organization videos.
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.
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.
Wow thank you so much for sharing. I’ve been binge watching your haul videos and they are awesome.
Hi Shelby. I saw in comments you did dave Ramsey. We're on step 2,chugging along. Could you do a video of how long it took you to complete step 2,amount of debt, and what your top favorite ways were to cut through corners to get to where you are. Also are you still doing his baby steps? If so what step you are on now. You have given my husband and I hope that will took be able to live like no one else debt free. To have solar and shop big hauls like this! Just find your channel and already loving it! Such an inspiration!
Step 2 was by far the hardest, but keep at it and then all the rest fall into place. We are on 7, and also funding the kids schooling. One of our boys wants to go to Carnegie Melon for his masters, yikes! I told Ken we might need to come out of retirement. LOL Keep up the great work guys!!!
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!!!
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
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
Just curious, how many freezers and refrigerators do you use for all your hauls? Do you have meals planned for the full year before your start your yearly grocery haul?
I think what you do makes a lot of sense and probably saves a lot of money in the long run!)
Thanks for sharing! 😊
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
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
Oh my goodness!!! I am drooling over your American food prices!! That haul would have easily been $6k Australian! For example, that 98 box of granola bars for $9.99 - we typically pay about $7 for 6 bars 😱😱😱 Amazing buys, makes me want to clean out my pantry, do some meal planning and then stock it up again! Thanks for taking the time to make this video for us.
I am always shocked at the prices in Australia and New Zealand. I used most of the items in my pantry and freezer the past few months, it was nice re stocking it. Hope you have a great weekend. Shelby
They do definitely have cheap prices, I did notice a lot was very similar to here (nz) like the beans, tomatoes etc. our prices are higher but our wages are a lot higher too so I think it probably works out similar. Maybe not the muesli bars though haha.
Im from Australia to and was thinking this would be good to do, then realised its far to expensive, even shopping around for bargains :(
Everywhere I've seen says Australian minimum wage is $18/hr.. our US dollar equates to $1.36 in Australian dollar, and where I live our minimum wage is $8.10/hr..
So that explains why things are more expensive in Australia, because you guys make a hell of a lot more lol. (if what I read is true of course.)
This is a huge HUGE eye opener for me and you have inspired me to give this a try!! Even if I do a couple months at a time until I get the hang of it but I want to do this!! Thank you SO much for this video.
My pleasure Meghan, I fill in with perishables as needed. Hugs Shelby
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
How do you go about buying the fresh things that don't keep long like lettuce? Thank you for sharing
Great question. I shop weekly for perishables. For fruit and veggies I use the greensaver filters, and change them every 3 months. They sure help
www.containerstore.com/s/oxo-greensaver-crisper-inserts/d?productId=11001490&q=greensaver
Thank you for taking the time to respond :)
That's $250/mo for a family of 6 ....wow! You did an amazing job even with the splurges!!!!
Thank you Miss Jamie!
how long did it take you to get to this point of stocking up ? i’ve been married for 3 years, two babies and can’t seem to stock pile and organize like this. my issue is space and large sums of money to buy the stock pile.
Kasey your comment is one of the best questions I have had on my channel. I remember being in your exact position a long long long time ago hahahahaha......Ken and I went through a time when there was more month than money, once we only had 17 dollars to spend on groceries for the two of us for two weeks. Back then you could not charge groceries on your credit card, it was cash and carry. I went to the store and bought all the fixings for bean tostados, I knew that would be cheap. They were delicious, but as the days went by we ran out of cheese, sour cream, avocado, lettuce and tomato. All we had for about ten days was beans and corn tortillas. We ate them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. During those two weeks we had so much to be thankful for. A friend of mine gave me a whole bag of lemons from her tree; I made lemonade, lemon bars, lemon everything. It was amazing how one simple ingredient made such a huge difference. I went to my parents house and picked oranges, and we had orange juice for breakfast every morning. I remember how amazing that fresh orange juice tasted and thinking this must be what rich people drink everyday. :D Someone brought doughnuts into work and instead of taking my usual jelly filled, I chose a maple bar. Ken loves maple bar doughnuts. I wrapped it up to share with him. I found a dollar and some change in my work locker and bought milk on the way home that night. It was such a treat, I was tickled how something so humble brought Ken such joy. Kasey he savored that maple bar with much delight. That experience changed me and Ken, we decided that we wanted to build our pantry up and also get out of debt. I firmly believe that the Lord gives us trials to prepare us, I believe in this case he was preparing us to have a grateful heart, and get our household in order. The night before payday, we were in bed thinking about what we would have for dinner the next night, I knew I married the right guy when Ken said he had been craving bean tostados and could we have that for dinner.......we laughed for about 5 minutes straight. We had both worked some overtime the previous two weeks, so when we did get our paychecks we had a little extra money. We took some of it and did a mini pantry stock up. I was way more mindful in getting the basics, each ingredient I added opened the possibilities of making more and more recipes. Peanut butter, tuna, flour, pasta, oatmeal, tomatoes......every time I added something, there were more things I could make. The rest of the extra money was able to pay off some debt. We continue this model, and we saw our pantry grow and our debt get smaller. It felt great the both of us working towards the same goals and seeing progress. You really see progress about the 4th month into it.
My suggestion to you is to sit down with your husband and see if there is even 20 dollars extra that you could invest in your pantry each payday, above and beyond your current grocery budget. In about 4 months you will find that you have even more wiggle room in you food budget to stock up because your pantry is starting to get stocked up with basics. It will just get easier and easier. Keep investing that 20 dollars and buy things that are on sale that you guys normally use. Keep investing in your pantry, and when that is full get your freezer stocked, then baby wipes and diapers etc. Also meal plan and try not to go out to eat during this first four months, and hubby has to brown bag lunch for work. You will be amazed how much money you save. Get your husband to agree to just 4 months of not eating out, pinky swear it. If he normally drives through Starbucks each morning to work, out of habit, try and come up with a solution that can be made at home for much cheaper. If he eats fast food for lunch, pack his lunch the night before and include a note how happy you are that he is getting your finances in order. Encourage one another. Finally, start building a recipe binder. The first recipe I put in mine was my mom's pizza dough recipe.
Pizza Dough
-1Cup hot water
-1 tablespoon sugar
-1 packet dry yeast
-1 1/2 Tablespoon olive oil
-2 1/2 cups flour
-1 teaspoon salt
Mix water, sugar and yeast in a large bowl and let rest for 5-10 minutes until yeast is activated. Add oil, flour and salt. Mix to form dough ball, and then knead for 5 minutes. Let dough rest until it doubles in size. Roll dough out on a floured surface and form into round circle.
I have a video on how to make ahead freezer pizzas. Instead of going out to pizza, if you can make your own it will save so much. It might just turn into a Friday night family tradition for your children! Wouldn't that be great!! Here is the link
ruclips.net/video/XLkHJNJfo7c/видео.html
As you build your recipe binder, you will grow your own tried and true recipes that your family loves. In doing so you are creating memories for your children. So beautiful!
Kasey I hoped I helped encourage you, just know, you guys got this if you work as a team. Slow and steady wins this race. Ken and I have had a head start, we have been doing this almost 30 years........if you guys aren't familiar with Dave Ramsey, he has a great plan to get debt free. Step 2 is the hardest for sure, and cooking meals at home helps you get through it so much easier. After that you guys will be well on your way! The end result is not having a stocked pantry or having all your bills paid, it is simply freedom. Wishing you all the best Love Shelby
What a wonderful reply! I started to do that about a month ago.
Each week I take a small amount of money to stockpile. Some weeks I can only spare 5.00 so I got a bunch of can veg's from Walmart for 38 cents each. Other weeks I was able to do up to 20.00 and got whole tomatoes for my Sunday dinners Walmart had them for 67 cents a can. I love how you put it Invest in your pantry. Just in a few weeks, I have a bunch of pasta 77 cents a box from Walmart, breadcrumbs, and tomatoes for sauce and canned vegs. I already see how it is helping us. I was with my job for 12 years and due to a merge lost my job and have had to make many changes but it always seems to work out. :)
danielle r Danielle you are very smart and yes even a little here and there adds up over time. I pray that the Lord Blesses you and your family. There was a channel here on RUclips called Minbound that used to show what he was able to get each month with 20 dollars. He lived on a small income, and he would cook from scratch. I loved to watch as his pantry grew each week, in a year or so it was completely stocked. It was sad to see his channel go, it was such an inspiration. I love that you shared and allowed yourself to be vulnerable. It says a lot about you. Much love Shelby
Thank you so much and you as well sharing your story. xoxo
Wow! What an incredible story, and such an inspiration! You have a new subscriber here for sure. I loved this video and can't wait to watch your previous ones. I'm still dreaming of having an actual pantry one day, but we did just buy a decent sized deep freezer! Thank you so much for sharing your kind words and wisdom.
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!
Hi there! Your video came up in my recommended and now I will be subscribing. Loved watching your haul. We are just a family of 4 but I try to shop the same as you. Right now we rent so limited in extra space but I make the most of it. Can’t wait to get into our own house next year and be able to stock up more. It really is such a savings to stock up and then make meal plans around what you already have! Look forward to your other videos!
Well said Amanda and welcome to my channel. Wishing you all the best with your new home, so excited for you. :D Shelby
I love how organized you are!! You're a true inspiration. I'd love to see inside your refrigerator. Also what's the breakdown of ages for your kids?
Shannon I have a lot more to do to get this house organized, but every system we put in place saves so much time down the road. All of our boys are college aged, our "baby" is 6'5" LOL 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
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
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
Great video. Can't wait to see how you cook some of your meals. How do you make your own vanilla?
Tina made this for you
ruclips.net/video/VS3CuSgPE2A/видео.html
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❤️
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.
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!
Just listening to her listing off the items and their prices was therapeutic.
WOW. Watching this video has given me ideas. Now that you have seen how much cheaper it can be with the free shipping option, do you think you will use it more often?
I would LOVE it if you did a video of how you portion out your meats and then vacuum seal it.
I probably won't use Target because it wasn't package well, but I would use Walmart and Sam's because they did a great job packing the items. It was so convenient I would use this service again. I use a food saver to vacuum pack meat to our family size. I'll add it to the list to video. Shelby
Where is everything stored? How many deep freezers and refrigerators do you need? Hope got a good backup generator or underground cellar in case power goes out. Thanks
New to your channel. Intrigued by the haul now I want to see what you cook up. Love it.
Thank you Melissa and welcome to my channel. Shelby
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).
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’m interested in your freezer and how you store it all...are you vacuum sealing and do you have more than one freezer? Can I see a video on that please.
ruclips.net/video/BrgV6vw561s/видео.html
Random question - what brand/color nail polish are you wearing (at 27:19)? It's beautiful. :)
I love OPI nail polish, I have a video that has all the swatches. OPI has such cute names, that one is, Amore at the Grand Canal. :D
ruclips.net/video/CUgeGj8PXKU/видео.html
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
I just found you! I have a walmart down the street so I do a grocery pick up which is awesome but I do have Sam's delivered and it's free and awesome!
Welcome to my channel! Both services are truly a Blessing :D Shelby
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!!
great video. thank you for sharing. i love your pantry how it is set up.
Thank you Judy!
Wow! What is your process for planning such a large shopping haul for the year!? I would be very interested to learn!
Ashley after 30 years I kind of know how much of each item we use in a year. You will get better at it as time goes on Ashley. :D
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
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!
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!!!
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
very good and nice I love that and how you stock your pantry stuff
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
Hi Shelby. Enjoyed the video and understand and appreciate why you shop this way. A few questions. Do you have a running inventory list? You thought of so many things that I might not think of until I had a recipe that called for it. Also, with all your dried and powdered chili’s, I was surprised to see Taco Bell seasoning mix. LOL Do you ever make your own? And if you ever want it, I have a great pressure canning recipe for Sloppy Joes. 😀
Joan I keep an tight inventory of the freezer for sure, and then use it for meal planning. As for the Pantry, I can look at a glance and see the wholes. I do have an inventory of long term pantry stuff. The kids enjoy making Taco Bell tacos LOL hahahahaha I would love your canning recipe!!! How awesome is that? :D
Here’s the link to the Sloppy Joe recipe. I follow it exactly except add 1 cup of finely grated carrots (just to get some veggies into my veggie-deprived grandkids). Excellent flavor and a great “fast food” item at our house.
www.sbcanning.com/2012/08/canning-sloppy-joe-manwich-either-way.html
I used our delivery boxes for sheet mulching too. I think I found my people!!!!
Lori now that Ken is getting all his projects done, I need him to get my garden going! :D
How do you store your tomatoes lettuce and other salad things? I always buy a cucumber but it goes bad in one week 😔 and that’s in the veggie crisper in my fridge
I also live over an hour away from my store too thanks for the inspiration 😃
Kerri I use the greensaver filters, and change them every 3 months. They sure help.
www.containerstore.com/s/oxo-greensaver-crisper-inserts/d?productId=11001490&q=greensaver
You understand the dilemma Kerri
TheQueensCabinet thank you so much 😃yes I do understand I do my 2 hour trip once a week 😩so I will definitely be stockpiling now 😃
Hey Shelby I work at Walmart and idk if you’re familiar w savings catcher or not. you submit your reciept (7 days old is the latest) and it compares prices a,one other grocery stores. If something is cheaper elsewhere (besides produce) they will give you the difference on a gift card.
Wow that is so great of you to share with us, I just love how we all help one another. Thank you again Shelby
what state do u guys live in? everything is so expensive (compared to ohio/michigan)
Catherine we live in Cooperstown NY Shelby
WAS SO BORED AND CAME ACROSS YOUR VIDEO AND I IMMEDIATELY SUBSCRIBED...
I hear you on expensive groceries, I live in British Columbia Canada.. went up to the grocery store for a few things, one grocery bag was $45! It's brutal! This has to be the biggest pantry stock up I have ever seen.. Your house is absolutely stunning! I am starting to do my pantry stock up now before my kids go to school in September, although there are no places here that deliver !! So I'm a tad jealous :) great video!
Sarah you are beautiful and smart!!! Stocking your pantry as you can helps out in so many ways. Our family went to BC when I was a child, what a beautiful place to live!! I'd like to get back there and visit. Wishing you all the best Shelby
So are you!! :). It truly is beautiful here, very beautiful. We are lucky. Although we are in the middle of a heatwave currently..And the past week has been 33-34 degrees C .. Tomorrow is 37! Beautiful but hot! very hot.. had to do a throwback of the oldies and make an icebox cake .. no way that oven is going on! lol
Sarah Ladouceur I hear that!
Sarah Ladouceur I moved to BC this week! I hear ya on grocery prices .. :( at least it’s beautiful here!
It is absolutely gorgeous here! But the gas prices, grocery prices, car insurance etc just continues to get worse and worse It's brutal!
Btw, have you heard of Shipt? It is a grocery delivery service. You should see if it’s available in your area because you can have produce, meat, and pantry items delivered.
Thank you for sharing Mollie, I am going to check into that Shelby
Thanks for the hauls so helpful more than you know budget wise and all need help with menu planning for a single person, I'm using my second bedroom for a pantry my apartment kitchen does not come with a pantry. I like to be prepared and I don't like to go to the store all the time so I grocery shop online. Thanks girl for the ideas.
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 !
Did you ever consider buying a half a cow or a half a pig?
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
I would love to see how you cook! Your very blessed & thanks for sharing ☺️
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
first time seeing your channel love it but I have 1 thing 2 say right now maybe more later..dont know what area you live in but your prices are so gosh darn high!!!!! Iive in California bay area & our prices are so so much cheaper!! I didn't realize how lucky & blessed we are in regards to prices! but you go girl seems like you are so organized cant wait 2 watch another video
Welcome to my channel, we have a great group here. Ken and I live outside of LA and we miss the grocery prices and all the wonderful produce. Hugs Shelby
Loved this haul, so much stuff :D Most of the things we have equivalent here in Scotland, but i've never heard of clam juice!
I use the clam juice in recipes like New England clam chowder or linguine with clam sauce. I believe I have some Scottish in me :D Shelby
This was like grocery haul nirvana. Love it!
Aw thank you. Hope you are having a great weekend!
How do you use the cardboard in your garden? Could it be used as a weed blocker you think to go under mulch?
I keep meaning to ask you if you do a long term storage along with your every day pantry. We have kept a long term storage pantry for years. I’d love to see a video on yours if you have one. Ours came in really handy this year. Also looking into solar for our main house. We have solar on our cabin already. Loved the video you put out of your solar system and your freezers. We already have two freezers. Would love more info on your system.
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.
Wow! This is just amazing! I loved this video.
Aw thanks Jess
I would love to stock my pantry like this, but the reality is I don’t cook often enough to warrant stocking my pantry with dry goods, canned goods etc for an entire year. The majority of it would eventually just go out of date. Maybe once we get out of this apartment with a tiny kitchen (which isn’t conducive to actually wanting to cook) and we have bought a house with an actual kitchen you can turn around in (you know what I mean right?) I will actually stock my pantry. Hubby already talks about getting a big chest freezer so he can stock up on meat to his hearts content (I am married to a t-Rex not an actual human male it seems haha), and I can stock it with meat for the dog as well. I can’t wait to have a kitchen that’s nice and big again.
You sound like me 30 years ago. My kitchen (well my whole house) was so small that I couldn't open the oven and fridge at the same time. And if Ken was in the kitchen we had to walk sideways LOL I wish you and your husband all the very best and hope you get the home of your dreams!!! Hugs Shelby
TheQueensCabinet we used to have a very big house with a huge kitchen, but then we emigrated to America and had to sell the house. The search will start for our new home once we get our green cards. Until then, tiny apartment and kitchen will have to suffice.
Desire that is exciting news!! We must have looked at 50 houses and this was the last one. I think the agent thought I would never find one I liked, but the moment I walked in it felt like home. You will know the right house when you find it. Good luck Shelby
Just wondering why don't you buy the hidden valley seasoning in the bottle instead of the packets?
Mainly convenience
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
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
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.
OMG can you please adopt me? I'm 36 married with 2 boys 4 and 7. Let me know 🤗
"Let me know " 😁😁😁😁
me too 4 kids and a hubby here. .we are very neat lmao
Love your pantry and freezer. How many people do you cook for? I've changed my warehouse shopping from weekly to monthly. After seeing what you do. I'll be changing to every three months. Thanks! Can I get the cake recipe?
Thank you Michelle. Here is the cake recipe. Shelby

😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱When you buy so much of the same things and they expire before use, what do you do? I like to go in the store these days because I have to watch the date on stuff.. I have been sold thing in store that were out dated and on the shelves..😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
I loved watching this. You eat so completely differently to us. We don’t do spicy 🥵. Loved your video. Thank you.
