    The video you’ve all been waiting for! 🤣
    The one where we spent a ridiculous amount of money….$5,635 to be exact 😮😬
    BUT let’s break the numbers down, shall we!?
    $5,635-$499(play set doesn’t count towards groceries)= $5,136
    $5,136 / 8 (months) = $642
    $642 / 4 (weeks) = $160
    Now does $160 sound like a lot of money to be spending on groceries per week for a FAMILY OF 7?! Definitely not!
    About a month after we shop at Costco we start shopping again for produce and such…$50-$200 bi weekly. So AT MOST we spend $260 a week on groceries for our large family.
    So now that you see the breakdown what do you think? Is my way of shopping stupid? Or smart? 🤔
    Let me know your thoughts!!

If you remove the play set price you spent an average of 700 per month for a family of 7, if people take the time to think that’s 100 per person. Food, snacks, cleaning and toiletries.

    I have 4 children and it really bothers me that people have negative things to say. When you have a herd of children, you don’t have time to go to the grocery store often. Plus, buying in bulk saves ALOT of money! The way you are shopping is actually saving your family a ton of
    Money. The USDA says a family of 7 (young children ) spend $859 a month on food. That’s $10,308 a year. What you just bought at 5600, with easily over $1000 spent on non- food items and it lasts you 8 months means you will be spending a substantial amount less than the average family of 7. So you are actually being incredibly smart shopping this way… the people who are leaving rude comments clearly don’t understand how budgeting for your family works. Keep doing what you are momma! You are doing awesome!!

      I see moms in the parking lot with even one kid and I kind of stay within running reach, kid in cart or around or in midst of the mom pulling all her muscles getting toddler/baby into the back seat and attaching things so they don't fall out. It's nearly 100 outside and she's sweating and now needs a shower, then has to load heavy bags of things falling everywhere and hoping someone doesn't steal her car or her kid or her or her stuff. Then I am always terrified that these people that I don't even know are going to get hit by a car while going home. All for FOOD and if kids, clothing for a growing kid. I really get mad if I see a woman in a TINY car bending over like a yogi trying to fasten the kid in the carseat. I actually do yogi moves and get all bent out of shape if I have to bend over to grab things out of the back seat. I would be like, TIMEOUT ...I need someone else to shop for me. So this seems super smart, stocking up. I really see why women used to do things in packs long ago. I LOVE the way the Hutterites live (in communities where they do tasks together and are safe).

I am now 25 living on my own, and at this point I’m budgeting to make sure I get good, sustainable food but enough to last me a while. One day I hope I can become a wife/mother who can provide this way for myself and my family. To feel secure is the best feeling in the world for a kid or an adult who never had security. Good job mom & dad. I strive to make this kind of money and think this smart.

      Yes. Most people do not have the space to store that much stuff. I save more money buying things from Kroger when things are on sale or the "Buy 5..." We have a Costco too and go for paper towels and some freezer things we love from there. We save far more money by making sauces from scratch. It was funny to see the whipping cream, butter and all the cheeses and then see she bought alfredo sauce. She has all the ingredients to make it from scratch if she has garlic. I know canned stuff is easy, but it's so full of preservatives. From scratch takes a couple extra minutes but it's so worth it, and it saves money.

    I spend 800$ -1000$ at Costco a month for our household of 8. So that’s roughly 12,000$ a year. So you did good in my mind!! When you figure that each person eats roughly 200$ a month in food. I think I do pretty damn good feeding us and that includes cleaning stuff and household needs. We are both killing it! Because I buy in bulk and only what is on sale and because I know how to properly store food that saves us so much money!

This really just inspires me to wanna keep grinding while I can before having kids, so we can give them the best. I love Costco and even for just me and my husband I go every few months, but it would be so cool to just save every month and then do big hauls like this every 6 months or so to save money in the long run!!

    So I’m a cashier at a big supermarket and honestly you’re so smart for doing this. I cannot tell you how often I have the same customers come in spending over a hundred dollars because of impulse buying/expensive foods (like pre-prepared foods like subs, etc.). A lot of people come in almost nightly and buy food for the next day, which wastes so much time and leads them to spend excess money as well. You’re saving so much time and money by doing it this way and you’re almost definitely eating healthier, too. Plus I love watching big hauls😂😂

I can imagine your convoy of trolleys, your shopping roll list strategically folded so it doesn’t drag on the floor …. I don’t know what’s more epic, your hoard itself or the whole operation of shopping, transporting then organising everything neatly laid out just to have it ready for the camera?

When people were freaking out last March and for months, we had everything we could possibly need and I stayed home for three months. Of course we did curbside pick up for dairy and produce but that was all. There is no reason for anyone to be negative towards you. I think you are very wise! Great haul!!!

    Hello Tabitha! I shop once a month at Costco for our Family. Tip for freezing bagels: slice them in half before you put them in the freezer. It makes defrosting/toasting them so much easier! Love your channel! 💕

    You should share how you freeze and unfreeze your food. Especially the prep food, Breads etc. Will it still taste amazing as the fresh ones? And how big is your freezer? And what else do you freeze? Im really curious.

      Bread is easy. You put the entire loaf in the freezer, that's it. No faffing about, simply put it in as is and freeze. Put entire loaf in fridge to defrost and keep it there to use as needed. Down unda we can't keep bread out on the counter as it goes moldy within a day or two (especially in summer, it's hot here!). Bread lives in the fridge and it's fine. Been doing it for 14 years.

      @@fatheyn8196 In general, you should always try to avoid refreezing something that has already been defrosted. With meats and seafoods, it’s not ‘try’ to avoid, it’s avoid at all costs! Unless you cook it: when it goes from raw to cooked, it’s fine to refreeze.

    • @weka6533
      @weka6533 Před 3 lety

      This is a good food rule yes. In reality if the food is still super cold you can refreeze. But I dont know you so I don’t recommend it at all, meaning I don’t know how diligent you are and how hygienic your practices are. I wouldn’t do chicken, but beef is fine. Bread is fine. Bread you can split the loaf and the slices and pull out what you need. I kind of like eating frozen bread too.
