    Mark is a miracle worker when it comes to loading all those groceries into your van especially when you had most of the kids with you. Considering what you normally spend weekly I think you actually saved money.

    @DaisyBuchanan99 4 месяца назад +34

    Recommendation on the bread, you actually can freeze bread and use it when needed. It’s a good way to have backstock of it especially when it’s on sale. It will last longer in the freezer and a lot of times I like to just pull it out and pop it in the toaster and have toast right then and there. Hope that helps. Love your videos by the way! ❤

    • @marjoleinvanlieshout9429
      @marjoleinvanlieshout9429 4 месяца назад +5

    • @gillianarmstrong955
      @gillianarmstrong955 4 месяца назад +4

      My experience in the UK is that some bread freezes really well, while others not so well. I think the more you pay, the better it freezes. Freezing bread certainly stops it going mouldy.

I’m so happy for y’all.❤ y’all please be careful to watch your surroundings when you’re going out of the store with all those groceries make sure you’re not being followed or watched. I don’t know if y’all already have it or not would be great if y’all could buy some light metal shelves that are on wheels preferably and you could put them up against the wall downstairs and put your extra food on it.

You will love having the extra freezer! We have several, and it's such a blessing! I wish you great success! Oh, do you only go through 2 peanut butter a month? We overeat peanut butter if that's all you go through, haha! Sending love from Wisconsin! What an excellent grocery haul!

    @letaylor96 4 месяца назад +4

    I think the idea behind monthly shopping, if you want to save money, not just time, is that you buy things in larger quantity - not just more of the same things. You are probably going to just end up spending more - because you are going to get odds and ends weekly at your local market. If you have a Business Costco there - that would be the place to go monthly - they sell everything in larger quantity - they supply restaurants actually. Maybe there is something similar there - now that you have a freezer.

      I did some math on this grocery haul, and they are spending about 2.00 per person per meal compared to the average family in 2024, which spends $4.23 per person per meal. I don't know what era you come from, but in 1975 (adjusted for inflation) the average family spent $2.79 per meal (.48 per meal in 1975 dollars). So $2 per meal is pretty cheap considering, and not fancy at all compared to the average family now or even to the same family in 1975.

      @@sharoncampeaux1860 My point was, what they are eating is not considered 'fancy' by today's standards, in truth they spend much less on each meal than the average person now and in the past when adjusting for inflation.

    Have y’all ever made costumes from thrifted items or things you find in the house? I guess I was thrifty because $30 for one costume is a lot!

      Yes, but when you have lots of kids things can be handed down. Also, there are school occasions, consignment selling, etc. It's VERY STRANGE that so many people on this site are commenting on the price of items and family income. That is not the point of this very fun video - each family spends based on their own income and resources and we all manage our OWN budgets.

    you guys should invest in a couple Hulken bags! they’re pretty expensive but wheel even better than a wagon, have a monstrous capacity, and are super lightweight- even Mo or Melody could probably pull one full of groceries :)
