- čas přidán 2. 10. 2020
- We shopped for almost all of our food at the beginning of the month so that food is made simple the rest of the month! This saves us a lot of time and money. We are a large family of 12 people and we require a lot of food. Today you can see what we bought to get through the month for our entire family and find out if we stayed in our monthly grocery budget!
See how exactly we plan our menu and grocery lists to make this mega-shopping possible! • Meal Planning Made Sim...

I wish the stores would make exceptions for large families. I don’t feel like you should be limited. I have 6 people in my household and back early pandemic they wouldn’t let me buy but 1 package of chicken. We knew the lady running the next register and she told our cashier that we had a large family. She said I’m sorry it’s just our policy. The lady behind me in line said I’ll buy your extra chicken for you. Then she said I’m single and I’m happy to buy it. I was thinking great I’ll pay her after she checks out. Then she wouldn’t let me pay her. She said she wanted too. I thanked her. I thought that was so kind.
Soooo kind!!!
I went through very similar experience but with milk. I broke down crying. Like you the lady behind me offered to buy me milk. The clerk quickly said she'd have to give it to me outside. The clerk made it such a big deal I ended up saying no thank you and went to another store and got the milk I needed.
This pandemic brought out a bunch of negative things in people. But it also brought out a bunch of positive things, too!
If they did that, then it would mean less or none for the many other people and families of different sizes out there. They have to be fair to everyone and ensure that there is enough to go around. It wouldn't be right if, for example, a few larger families bought up most of the milk in a store's stock and there wasn't enough left for all of the other folks who came into the store and needed some.
I think people hoard makes it harder for those who actually need them. You never know who is lying
Anybody managing a family of 12 people and making all your own food deserves an award. I wouldn’t criticize you on anything. I think you’re doing an amazing job.
Awe, thanks!!
I fully agree! It’s commendable with all the busyness that she feeds her family so well; it can be so hard to find the time and motivation when there are definitely easier options out there.
I think you are doing what works best for your family. We homestead and have 13 children. But we all are different people different situations. Sarah I love that you are building your pantry!
@@OurTribeofMany wud love to see your naan pizza recipe
I wish we could get rid of that super mom requirement. People expect you take care of 11 other people and look refreshed? In what world?? 👀 I take care of a household and four other people and I’m exhausted.
When my nephew was little, he would only eat chicken. So my sister called beef brown chicken, pork gray chicken, ham pink chicken. Lol.
When my son was little he wouldn’t eat ham. He said he hated the pink meat lol!!
That’s absolutely hilarious 😂😂😂
Lolll
I can only imagine the comfort and security you feel as a mother having all that food in your home. I remember the feeling when my children were small and money was tight. Food is a mother's love language at times. Good video again!
So true!!!
"Food is a mother's love language" should be carved on my tombstone!
Even though My children all grown with their own families I still worry if they eat well. I cook every meal and I’m blessed to care for my six grandchildren every week day. I still haven’t figured out how to cook small portions so my grocery bill is our biggest expense!🤷🏻♀️
“throw some cilantro and lime on anything and it will be better” couldn’t agree more!
And cheese!!!?
Unless u dislike cilantro like me lmao
I like cilantro, lime, garlic, red wine vinegar, salt and avocado mixed together it’s really good with chicken. Also I heard if you leave that peanut butter upside down you won’t have to stir.
I figured it out ( I like numbers lol) and you are spending $15,600/ year ( not counting the beef cow ) for groceries or, $1,200 /person /year.
Which comes out to around $25.00/ person/ week -
NOT BAD @ ALL !
Especially, when taken into account you are also adding to your long term food storage - Good job guys !
haha, faster way to calculate it is 1300 per month for 12 people is about 108 per month per person, which is about 27 per week per person.
I guess the babies make up for smaller portion sizes by using up diapers :P
She may need to extend it a little.
And in that is also dipers, cleaning etc.
That make it morse impressive 😍 i use about 50€/Month. Including me and a dog (My patents and sister eat here several days as well and I eat evertything att home). In that is Good, cleaning, washingpowder etc.
One of my kids refused to eat fish, but "Atlantic chicken" went down just fine. She actually asked for "Atlantic chicken"! 😂😁
Get your almond butter at Sam's! Cheaper, at least in my area.
🤣🤣🤣 and thanks for the tip!
Oh my goodness! We used to tell our kids it was flaky chicken. Worked like a charm! 🤣
Like Jessica Simpson when she was eating tuna, "Is this tuna or chicken, it says chicken of the sea", poor girl lol
For awhile I served chicken pork and chicken turkey to a kid who refused to eat pork and turkey. 😆
🤣🤣🤣 deceased!!!
In Germany every store is closed on sundays. I think it’s good for everyone to take it easy on a sunday 😊
That used to be the norm here in Canada when i was a kid. Not anymore🤔
@@mysteriouswon6899 Here in Germany its discussed over and over again. Thank god most people think it's unecessary. Some stores are already open from 7am to midnight on weekdays and saturdays.
I don’t know what you’ve been doing to your hair these past few weeks but it looks great!! You are so beautiful ♥️
such a lovely comment ❤
❤️❤️❤️
I came to say the same thing! The color is lovely and it looks so healthy!
Thanks!!
Most relatable comment during this season in my life “we’re just doing the best we can”....😂
Amen
If your monthly haul isn't my favorite thing to watch on CZcams, then I don't know what is. Love love love watching this ☺👍
❤️❤️❤️
We are remodeling my home, and Home Depot brought me an extra toilet. I called and said I ordered three you brought me four, they insist they did not send me four toilets, so the lady said just keep it. I think I would rather have had the extra bag of avocados :)
Sell it on Facebook marketplace
Lol!!!
Since you and Solo are doing low carb. When you make the Sloppy Joe's, take some of mix and stuff into some of the bell peppers. Top with mozzarella cheese and bake...so good!!
Oh... I don't eat low carb but that sounds delicious 😋
You spend so much time explaining yourself... You have NOTHING to explain in my opinion.. but you are so kind that way you just can't help yourself..lol.... you're living your best life and it shows in every video.. that's why your channel is growing like it is.. I'm with ya on the pumpkin icecream .. yuck .. and I agree, I'd try it just to make sure I still felt that way about it too..lol
thanks for sharing with us!!
I understand not wanting to clear the shelves when shopping- i do the same thing- if an item is low i will take only what i need and hope to stock up another time- thanks for sharing!
Please can we have an update on your emergency storage and freezer love you and your family 👌❤️xx
I worked at sams for years. It’s so kind you were honest but returned food we have to throw away so if you ever get anything please keep it!
The "note from belle" was FANTASTIC 😆
Love your honesty when you got unexpected items. Many people can learn from that
Yay!!! Hello my tribal momma! I love seeing your face! Every single time I see a new video, my day becomes a little bit brighter.
Yess this brightens my day. Amazing way to start off my morning.
So funny about chicken mushrooms. My dad tells my son everything is chicken or bacon so I was howling over here!! 😄
🤣🤣👍
Yeah, I guess the naming has power for kids :) my friends son used to love rice, but wouldn't try other like buckwheat or bulgur, but.. he would eat buckwheat rice or cous cous rice... I was instructed by my friend to use "proper" nomenclature at dinner table :)
My mom did the same with my sister, she just told her everything was chicken and she ate it lol! 😂
Looking forward the the breakfast cookies reciepe!
I can imagine my girls loving those!
Love these videos. Gives me ideas on what to get when I do my once a month grocery shopping
YES! Naan pizza is the BEST!
Yessss!!! They loved it ☺️
I just made pizza for my lunches this week, so yummy!
I love garlic naan pizzas!
Lol so cool to see you comment on her videos. When she said she got naan I thought of your channel you guys are obsessed !
Hahaha, you are obsessed with Naan!!
I love how you take into account items your kids ask for. It's also really cool how they like to participate in the cooking.
Good morning. Funny I just went grocery shopping this morning and now watching your haul. Stay healthy stay blessed
I order all my groceries while at work Saturday night to pick up Sunday... And its madness! Every spot is full! Thanks for the lovely video.
Those Lily's caramel baking chips are so good! I snack on them instead of baking with them. Also I definitely agree with you on preferring the Apple scents and flavors over pumpkin.
I usually eat them before they can be baked, as well!!! 😬🤣
"I have to eat this aggressively" hahaha
I am excited we are finally getting a Trader Joes' close to us and it opens Friday. Thank you for sharing your grocery haul. May God continue to bless you and your family .
I love you Sara! I remember when my 3 kids were small and I used to get tired but like you, keep on keepin on!! Get some rest!!!
Food prices have really gone up. It's not your imagination.
Give yourself a little Grace this month you brought extra items too fill your emergency stock pile so the budget should even out. You guys do a wonderful job with your big family. I wish I could meal plan for my family of 6 but I can't I do have a normal list of things in my brain that I buy and keep on hand at all times though.
Thank you so much. Your videos always help me remember items I missed on my grocery list.
Thanks for sharing. I love your grocery hauls as well as your meal planning videos. God bless you. Have a great weekend.
Alright!! My favorite family !! Love you guys!!
The mental block of mushrooms 😂 My 4 siblings and I used to refuse my Mom's pork chops growing up, so she started telling us it was antelope (we were really into the Lion King). I was in 3rd grade by the time I realized that they were just pork chops hahaha
Thank you for sharing and I hope that you and your family have a wonderful weekend 💗💗💗
Sara, you inspire me. I absolutely love your family!!
When my daughter was young she kept saying she didn’t like cheesecake,,, even though I knew she had never tried it,,,,,,so one day I made one and told her it was vanilla pie,,,, worked like a charm,, lol ,, she tried it and loved it,,, lol,,, I think as a parent we all have done little things like that to get out children to eat,,,,, Btw, I think your food choices and hauls are amazing!!!! Thank you for another great video
I’m not a pumpkin person either. I live in Texas, we’re chili people.
Pumpkin chili is amazing!! But if you don’t like pumpkin I wouldn’t recommend try it 😂😭
Samantha Young yeah, definitely not a pumpkin person, except for hair color. Lol! My current hair color kinda looks like pumpkin spice and like a caramel brown
I love these videos, I don’t know why I love to see grocery hauls. I think it reminds me of when all my kids were home (9), just 4 kids here now. It felt like all I did is fill the fridge over and over again, but I loved it. Thank you for sharing! I’ve been making my stock up list for two weeks now. Can’t wait for my shopping day on Tuesday! I’ve been trying to use up my freezer, because, I know you know, things get lost in the back! Lol!
You and your family are amazing. Thanks, and be blessed 🙌
When my youngest went to kindergarten/daycare they had salmon for lunch sometimes and the staff there would called it «princess fish» 😂 the kids loved it 😉
I’m a Thursday shopper! Also if you turn the peanut butters upside down while storing them, it helps with less messy stirring later! I’m prone to spilling things so I need all the tricks😉
I dump it into my stand mixer and mix it with my kitchenaid then put back in container. Makes it nice and smooth!
Definitely a Wednesday or Thursday shopper too. Thanks for the peanut butter trick!
I am a friday evening shopper! Nice and calm because all of the telly series start at 8pm and the kids are all exhausted of the week. So i enjoy that time a lot!!
These videos are so satisfying to watch. I live by myself so grocery shopping for me are tiny and not much fun, but your grocery hauls are so fun to watch 😁
Isn’t it funny how a shopping video can be so satisfying!!! I love them so much x x
Sara, I'm laughing so much that I can barely see through the tears in my eyes. "I'll try (the pumpkin pie ice-cream) too, to see how weird it is." No pre-conceived notions there! 😆 (I don't like pumpkin pie and I don't drink coffee either 🤗)
Pumpkin ice cream is really good. Pumpkin milk shakes, pumpkin scoop in banana splits replacing the strawberry scoop. Pumpkin and chocolate are partners.
Take a little nap and enjoy the day.
P.S. On your recommendation I bought an Instant Pot, loving it.
Thank you😊
We love pizzas on naan! You can by mini ones too so the little ones can have their own and not waste. Love your videos! Thank you for sharing these glimpses into your life.
YAY !!! My favorite..the monthly grocery haul.💜💜💜
Lots of love from Rhode Island 💜
My mom called everything chicken for me when I was little! I didn’t like any other meats so she would make me “steak chicken, pork chicken, beef chicken, etc...” 🤣🤣 That’s too funny that your family did the same thing with mushrooms!
I have to call peas 'green sweetcorn' so my kids will eat it. I'll have to try your chicken idea! Xx
I call every meat chicken for my son too lol
I used to call cauliflower white trees so my grandsons would eat it. Broccoli was just trees! x
Pork chops in our house have been called chicken steak
Ive done the past. Tuna chicken.
I can't wait until our Costco is out of lockdown so we can do a monthly shop again. I love watching your meal plans as a fellow family of 12, we know just how much food is needed! Thanks so much for another wonderful vlog 💕 (PS Those earrings look great on you 😃)
I hope that happens soon for you!!! And thanks. ☺️
Wow! you look and sound great! Always Love to see and hear y'all, but you Mama! you're the best! thanks for sharing.
Pumpkin ice cream is so good!!!!! Haven't tired that Halo top version though. I only have a family of 5 but love to shop this way. Thanks for sharing 😊
I love this family and their values! Does anybody else hit like before they even watch the vid 😂!!
My jaw dropped when you said you didn't like the pumpkin lol. 🤣 Im an iced pumpkin spice coffee type of mom in the fall, and the rest of the year is chai tea because its similar to the spices I add to my pumpkin pie 🥧
Thanks for sharing, Sarah Lawrence ❤.
My son LOVES pumpkin pie ice cream. I need to get him some, thanks for reminding me. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hi Sarah! Love your family and your video's. I wanted to share that Sam's Club has peanut butter that is just peanut butter and salt and is under $4.00 here for a 2 pack and they are large size. Give those a try!! Blessings!!
“If I look tired you don’t need to tell me. Some people like to tell me when I look tired.” 😂🤣 That comment made me laugh out loud. I think you are beautiful all the time Sarah! And I love your straight white teeth! 😁
100% loved that little note from Belle 😂💖
I look forward every month to your grocery haul video. Thanks for sharing 🧡
I laughed at “we really needed some peas”. I personally don’t like peas. I grew up on canned peas and I think it ruined me, lol. I think it is amazing how much food you can buy for your budget. It is wonderful to be so stocked up. You are such a happy and fun person 💗 I have done a bunch of fall decorating. I found some cool white pumpkins too.
I have to say that this depends on the person. I love canned peas but frozen peas gag me. They have the most disgusting taste, I can't even stomach them. Everyone is different though. In my area, canned vegetables are also much cheaper than frozen. I have a budget of $400 a month to spend on groceries for 5 people, so I have to pinch pennies. This is why I learned how to can my own produce a few years ago. We can grow and can our own produce for a fraction of the cost.
I can't get enough of watching your organized grocery hauls. And I love it when you throw a few unplanned for items that you or the kids might want during shopping. Your grocery foods are healthy and delicious for any meal plan. I ALWAYS ENJOY your time of SHARING! Have a great weekend! 👋🏾
Love the message from Belle!
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Amazing job managing food for so many mouths! You’re a rockstar! God bless.
Your groceries look almost exactly like mine except I only shop for 6 people. I do the same thing with roasted chicken too!
I'm totally all about fall apple flavours instead of pumpkin!! I was starting to feel like I was the only one 🤣
🤣🤣 for real!
PR Sarah, I just wanted to share that I’ve started buying those peanut butter cups since you’ve raved about them so much. Goodness they are so good!! Thanks for the recommendation!
Thank you, this made my day! Love your videos. Extra stock ups added up was at least 100.00 & with food prices rising, I think you did amazing!
There is actually a wild mushroom called “chicken of the woods”...it has the texture of chicken. I use it as a replacement in chicken dishes.
NO KIDDING!!!
czcams.com/video/WAGtQWbiWzg/video.html Watch this video from emmymadeinjapan. We forage for lots of different types of mushrooms.
I have had that before and that's what I was thinking.
I’ve bought turkey tail mushroom tonic, it helps fight cancers. I sent it to my brother during his fight with esophageal cancer. He has been in remission for the past 3 years.
Never knew this. Where do you buy them?
Chicken Mushrooms😂 We used to tell my son all vegetables were from Papaws garden and he would eat them as long as his papaw grew them🤣
I do a haul every 2 weeks for our family with 5 kids. It's a big job to haul in, take care of and then vlog! I admire how much work this is for you!
your videos are so fun to watch im trying to learn how to stay on budget these kind of videos help a lot.
I got here before youtube could send me the notification
Nice!
I literally laughed out loud when you said large is relative. We have 6 kids and people think it's a lot.
When we had 6 people said it was a huge family and we were crazy. 🤣❤️
@@OurTribeofMany our family grew in a unique way. We went from having 2 kids who were 11 and 16 to having 4 more in ones and twos in less than a year. The last adoption was finalized a year ago. People doubly thought we were nuts. Keep up the great videos. They really help someone like me who went from 2 to 6 in such a short time.
My parents have us 3 and some people say we are big family 😂
I have four kids and people think that's a lot!!😂
Same same same! Wouldn’t trade it for anything. 🙏🏼💕🙏🏼💕
Oh my goodness. You are amazing!
I look forward to every video. I know the feeling...being tired. But you push through and take care of your beautiful family. Love from Tennessee.
I turned off substitutions recently on my Walmart order because they were substituting with weird stuff. I guess its harder for them now since COVID and low inventory.
Love your big hoops! I’m a hoop girl,I appreciate a good pair of hoops and those are great.😻
When I clicked on your channel, I found myself unsubscribed! I don’t think I did that myself. Oh the mysterious ways of CZcams! I know they unsubscribe people. But I’m a regular here, so not sure why they would.
Anyway, nice video. It always feels like you are directly talking to me like a good friend.
Pumpkin spice flavor is not my favorite either. Seems the rest of the world does. I do add premier protein drink pumpkin pie protein drink to my coffee for creamer once and it was delicious.
I’ll be going on my shopping trip this am. I now have my youngest son and his wife and 3 yo son living with us because they had a fire at their home. It’s totaled, but no one hurt. I have been doing monthly shopping for my husband and I, so I’ll be buying more as I’m cooking for us all now. I’m so glad I had a grocery shopping system in place, it’s not so overwhelming. I also follow the Fly Lady house management system, modified to my home. So I’ve just kept up my routines and absorbed the added 3 people in😻. Having a routine is so important to keeping me sane and stable.
I don't know how you do it! And so healthy for you and your children! Tfs
I really love watching your videos specially your grocery hauls. I’m so amazed at how you’re so good with budgeting and feeding your family healthy food. I’m a single mom of one and I’m struggling so to see you with 10 kids and looking great is an inspiration. If you’re able to stay fit and be so busy, what’s my excuse? Need to step up my game lol. Love ur videos. God bless u guys!! ❤️
People tell you that you “look” tired 😩🙄. I wish people could think before they type lol. Anyways, love your grocery hauls they’re my fave. You have the greatest personality. Such a sweet demeanor! Happy October to your fam!
Look at you I like them earrings looking like a teenager 😂
Haha you are the nicest. 😜
You brighten my day Sarah ! Love your videos and love your amazing family🍏🍏🍎🍎
Sarah You Have Come So Far On here!
Love the growing family 💕💕💕
Well you are especially pretty today with those earrings! Have a blessed day family!!
Thanks!
"I'll try it, I'll try it. Just to see how weird it is." lol
Hey sarah!, thanks for the grocery haul!, went right on and did a big walmart haul after watchin!👍also the chick peas are amazing as a snack when you air fry with sea salt and olive oil spray.sooo good.kids will love ‘em
My little toddler LOVESSSS raisins too! She tears them up! That is so sweet that someone sent you some real ‘vanilla’
Try freezing half of the goat cheese.
Im cracking up at the *note from the editor* 🤣😂
Love teenagers😂
Love Love Love all your Grocery Hauls ❤ It is so relaxing to me to watch for some reason ❤😂
Great haul! Loved your "chicken mushroom" story. My grandson, Brendon, is a picky eater. When he was younger, he's now 14, there were very few meats that he would eat. One day I was serving Kielbasa with our meal. He first made a face until I told him they were Nona's(me) special hotdogs. He tried them and the rest is history. I often been able to entice him to try new foods. That's what Nona's are good at!! Bless you all.
Hi from Sydney!
I’m in Sydney too!
Hi!!!
I've heard people turn the natural peanut butter upside down so you don't have to stir. Not sure if it works or not
I like to shop on Saturday and get all my errands done so that I can have Sunday to relax and just be home.
I really like your grocerie haul's gives me great ideas and new stuff to get when I go do my shopping ☺️☺️👍
