I love how she buys snacks specific to what she knows each child likes. If I had 12 kids I’d be like y’all gonna eat whatever snacks I buy and like it! 😂
I thought these snacks were good before but since I am babysitting my grandson just think they are fillers plus not healthy as many videos are showing and fat for nothing to our body
Yes! This is what was on sale, so that’s what we will enjoy!
@@kathyfugere6085 they're kids lol. she bought a ton of meat, fruits & veggies as well. as long as there's balance, there shouldn't be a problem?
That's pretty much what I would do, while offering unique snacks a 1-2 times a week.
I only have 3 kids and I do that 😅
I never thought watching someone else go grocery shopping would be so relaxing.
Me too
Yes me too!
IKR
Literally
Same, check this out and please comment

At that point I’d just get a water filtration system and some reusable bottles that’s so expensive every week and not to mention it’s plastic that is likely not being recycled in the end even if the family recycles it
She normally might, but she said close to the beginning that they are in the middle of a water issue and being hooked up to water.
@@MsEdeebee I watched one from a while ago and she got 10 packs of water bottles. So my guess is they've never used faucet water.
Yes! I support her making the best decisions for her family, but if each child had 1-2 reusable water bottles to rotate through, think of all the plastic they’d be keeping out of the landfill!!
This gives me a whole new respect for my Grandma who had a family of 14 and raised them in the days before supermarkets!
Before supermarkets ? Markets have been around since before the 1900 hundreds
Is your grandma 200 years old? 🤣
@@malloryknox6802 No stupid.
Phew respect for the parents who had to drive 20 minutes away to get to the nearest grocery store we didn't get a closer one till I was 12-13 years old which one of those grocery times left us without a house for a few months fire from faulty wire power guy came while all were gone mom took us to get baths at a friend's house dad stayed to wait for guy decided to go get something from store to eat this was before cell phones were a thing came home to find fire trucks in our yard trailer was saved but unfortunately was unlivable almost everything below counter height was saved even the family cat hide under bathroom sink my great uncle saw the flames through the windows he was walking at the time and hurried home to call 911
Idk why but it makes me so happy seeing you support Neveah’s needs as a teenage girl like getting her makeup wipes- I guess it’s because we haven’t seen you be a teen-girl mom before, but ofc, you’re doing wonderfully at it ☺️
& I’ve seen you support her in so many other ways on your Instagram too, thank you for taking such good care of her 💗
Neveah is my favorite. She always has a great attitude and respect for her mom.
You can save money by not purchasing makeup wipes . She can use soap and water instead or use special makeup remover . It cleans more thorough and is cheaper in the long run .
@@17topaz Unlike us, she is not aiming at saving money. More for convenience, I believe. Check out all the items she tossed into her multiple carts, and that is weekly!
Omfg that's what every mum does and more for there teenage daughters and sons she is no hero setting a mum must do list ffs
those kids are BLESSED to have such a good mom. Seriously. And the thing is, when they get older, they are going to look back on all she did and appreciate her 100 times more. Those kids are so lucky to have her.
A good mom would feed them a healthy diet, not all the pre packaged rubbish she does!
@@matwhite6481 she feeds them this as most of them don't have good pasts , she does this so they get comfortable
@@matwhite6481 what do you know its not like you have 12 kids so shush and go back to watching your cocomelon ok
@@matwhite6481 look, she trys her absolute HARDEST for these kids, she keeps them as healthy as she can and gets them treats and LIMITS them, if you didn't hear her say, she's limiting her daughters energy drink consumption to 1 a DAY, I bet you drink 4 a day!!! She is an amazing mother, it's not like she has all this free time to hand cook everything, plus pre-packed things arent that bad for you.She bought ready made frozen meat balls and your complaining about it when your not her husband or child to say "I want something healthier" even though she was saying she's buying an alternative vegetable pack because their favourite mixed one isn't there? You can't complain about someone else's life style if your not apart of it.mind your own business and respect the fact that if you had to feed a family of 14,and saw a comment like this on your hard worked video, you'd be pretty upset and feel bad about it.She even says we're loved and amazing and beautiful etc and your still being rude. So take a minute and THINK how others feel instead of just thinking about yourself.
@@matwhite6481 she can parent them how she wants it’s her kids
My mind is blown by the amount of packaging on everything in USA shops. It’s unbelievable. And the waters! 😢😮
This woman needs coupons. I love how she just grabs things and doesn't go for the store brand.
I love how she buys so many food for the weekend and her family. If it was for me I would be tired of food literally. 😆
She does buy store brand of some things I've noticed
@@aimeebaldwin5600sometimes those are better 🤷 but I’d imagine (and hope) that because they chose to foster so many children they have plenty of funds to provide for them. Although I would’ve liked to see more healthy snacks for the kids in this video, it’s still heart warming to see someone go all out to care for so many children, when growing up I never saw anything like this.
Must be nice not to pay attention to prices. Or how must garbage they generate
@@eileenmcdonald1599 at least they don’t generate garbage comments like yours
Bruh she picks like 3 or 4 of everything 💀 it's my first time watching so much foods together but I think this mom is so goodddddd. Man like she knows everything abt every single kid. She bought almost all the store 💀 how is it possible like 6 cars 😩 ur amazing girl ong
Ik you said this a year ago but this girl uses water with hot chocolate and she’s spoiling the kids to the point they don’t care she’s feeding them horribly
@@BigTrumpo i use water with hot chocolate
Her weekly groceries would fufil my whole familys needs for a century
samee
fr
Right? 😂
I spend about $100-$150max a week on groceries for a family of 6. That money would get me through months 😂
Teens go through food fast
This would feed my family for about 5 days...
I just got done watching a mom shop for a family of 10 on a budget, this is like a wild shopping spree!!!
This is a waste of a lot. Imagine the trash
The Cashers be crying when she walks to the register. (I love how you care so much for each child)
As a former target worker, I'm a bit surprised they don't dedicate a "closed" lane to start checking you out as you shop. Seems like it would be easier for the store to have someone pop over there around cart #3 and get started for you and for them. I honestly saw this channel recommended for a long time... but I didn't know what to think, I expected a family that simply didn't stop having kids, I didn't realize you were fostering. And honestly, having watched, I feel guilty for judging based on simply the titles. I'm so amazed by what you're doing for these kids. It certainly makes me want to do even better as a parent in any way that I can.
You low-key insulted large families that are naturally made, any particular reason?
@@cottoncandiez8872 Um, because the world is extremely overpopulated and it makes no logical sense to make sooo many kids when that’s really just selfish and you are literally negatively impacting the future of our world and there’s soooo many children who need homes
@@cottoncandiez8872 right ? If a family chooses to have multiple kids as long as they are being physically and emotionally taken care of who cares ?
@@mtvclipz4778 the problem is a lot of large families don't emotionally and physically support their kids and they require their older children to parent the younger ones so they can keep having kids.
I have yet to meet a family with double digit kids in person that actually takes good care of them.
I agree completely.
I don’t know if it’s just how Americans live, but as a southeast Asian that shops weekly in wet markets for most of our food (grocery shopping is more of a monthly trip) it’s astounding how much processed food they go through every week. and with processed food comes a lot of excessive packaging.
I was thinking something similar. Why not more fruit and vegetables and throw back all the sugary fake foods.
Incredible right? I was looking at that as well. And no thermo bottles to fill with water, but all these small waterbottles. Im honestly in shock
I was thinking her produce run looks like mine and it's only me and hubby. She bought no poultry, fish or pork. Bacon and sausage doesn't count. She apparently doesn't bake. To me there's a whole cart there I can leave behind.
I buy stuff when it's on sale. Apparently she does not. I also shop at Aldi. Most of my produce comes from Sam's.
@@colleengiles9251Agree.
It’s fascinating to see such a huge difference within families. This is just one week for her, but it’s like 8 months for my family of 5. Love these videos.
I love how she buys things specific to what each kid likes! She is an AWESOME mom! I would not be able to handle 12 kids!

@@Ashley-ir3px
We are bee keepers. I’ll have to send you a real jar of honey when we harvest in July! There is such a huge difference in the store honey and honey straight from the hive :)
@Katelin Fowler, Sooooo true! We had some bees decide to Hive on a wall. The beekeeper got the bees (+the Queen, yay) and we got the honey. Don't recommend this method ($$) but natural honey is totally different. God Bless you and Keep you Safe in HIS Loving Embrace. Have an Awesome weekend and an AMAZING week ahead.
Yes! That is one thing I really try to find local at a farmers market.
Same with maple syrup!
Right.... she is buying honey flavored syrup and maple flavored syrup (all high fructose usually!)
reminds me of the bee movie
I’m so thankful that I can just grab stuff at the store without having to worry too much about the cost. That’s why whenever someone in front of me is struggling, I help them :).
I think that’s why these videos are so relaxing… she doesn’t pause and worry about the price or how it’s all racking up… each time it still amazes me… it’s truly like therapy when youve grown up having food be something closely monitored and managed due to cost…
That’s so generous, Rylan. When she grabbed those little cups of Oreos I gasped-$3.79 each. 🤣
@@CoffeePlease. Yeah lol. it's built into me and it wasn't until like 12 minutes in i started relaxing. especially after the water, my mind was blown away how she barely glanced at the price. 😭
@@paisleyt500 Financial trauma burns deep friend. Therefore, it's quite literally therapy 😅
@@jas.per.25 thank you for saying this and helping me along my journey :)
Good watermelon tips = brown small spots is sugar seeping out so it's extra sweet, white circle, big white circle means it layed in the sun longer to get ripe! And white lines is also good!! Also you are an incredible mom getting each child their favorites even if it means more cost and work for u!
First of all, really impressed how you make sure every kid have their own favourite food, absolutely sweet. Secondly, as a person of another culture, I’m really shocked by the amount of snacks you eat every week.
This is their life...... Mostly sugar
Im from sweden. My jaw dropped when i saw this. How do even americans live past 50 years old? Its insane how unhealthy this is.
I am from austria and i even thought the same. All this stuff is garbage with sugar and so many unnessary snacks that would last for a year on a normal family. Most of this is only suited for waste incineration. What a horrible way to live. I europe nobody would be this crap.@@user-wm8sb5lv5o
Agree! ...and: at least the bananas came without plastic.....🙈
Alicia, grocery stores receiving clerk will order you full cases of thinks like tomatoes sauce, Marinara sauce, canned fruit, drinks and things you use alot of on a weekly basis and will store it on 6 wheel cart in the back, this may shorten your shopping trips and my Krogers gives me a 10% additional discount because they do not need to pay someone to stock your groceries on the shelf. Just an idea.
It appears that money is not an issue with this family. Otherwise she would be getting more off brand items. Condiments alone getting them in a large size from Costco would save her a fortune. It's hard for me to imagine that doing all this on the teacher's salary and social media is enough to feed this family. I've asked her secret before so I could share it with others would love to have a family full of children however she has never returned one comment.
they own rental properties i think they mentioned it once
@@kelliquinn1342 she has stated before that Costco isn’t close by so she can’t shop there on a regular basis. Also, she’s a mother of 12 with several social media accounts and a lot of followers, how do you expect her to reply to comments as well?
@@abimollentze7221 yes, running a dish washer twice a day can impact their water usage. Especially with 14 showers
@@tiffu7 She said in the video that there septic is broken and they have to buy paper plates so they don't use a lot of water, come on people give her a break she is taken care of 12 kids half are not her own biological children, can you imagine how much she has to do in one day and you all are talking about how much she spends and she should go to Costco to save money, this is her life that she is sharing and she does not have to share it with us, thank you Alicia for all that you do!!!!
I love how attentive you are to get certain things for each child. Have you thought about maybe ordering some items from Sam’s or Costco (water, snacks, paper plates) that way they could get shipped directly to your home so it’s less things you have to carry from the grocery store in your car. It might be cheaper too. Anyway, I really enjoyed your grocery shopping video.
Yessss! We do this and it’s so much cheaper, but I’m not sure what their storage situation is like. It does require a lot of storage.
She gets millions of views on these grocery haul videos. Your idea would work for a family in normal conditions but she needs to shop this way to get the views and views equals income.
Just a late night and listening to relax! ☺️ You’re doing great for YOUR family and YOUR kids!! I hope you continue to always brush the haters off. No matter what they say, you’re a great provider and they could never do it all with a smile and patience!
👍🏻🥰
It’s hard to wrap my head around how much food 14 people actually need in a week! I am used to shopping just for 2, and the quantities are so vastly different! But it looks like you know very well what your family needs and likes!
Anyone watching from Europe and shocked by the plastic waste? I think about this every grocery haul
Yeap also shocked by the amount of sugar, fat and general junk food she gets.
Yes!!! So much waste! Just give them refillable bottles! And all those snacks! Sometimes I’m angry with my teenage daughter, because she ate crisps out of a bowl that’s too big. But it’s nothing compared to this.
By the way, I do love this mum for her love for the children..
And my lord, are they millionaires?!?
definitvno ne ono što bi kupovali u Hrvatskoj za 14 osoba! Mahunarke, passata, pašta, brašno,ulje, jaja, mlijeko. to se prvo kupuje a ako ostane onda keks i slično
im more shocked that of all things she buys I maybe know 1% of the brands, so diff than europe xD
Also a survivor of narcissistic parents who never catered to a single need of mine, watching this fills my heart and I am thankful there are caring and loving mothers out there! I hope some day God will treasure me with a good man so that we can create a happy family filled with love and mutual respect. I know there are so many of us completely depleted of parental love and care. Sending you much love and blessings ! We can still win in life..it is hard but God is by our side !
this was my childhood and God blessed me with a great doting man. He WILL do the same for you
@@xxx-wu2jj I am glad for you!!! God is great! So far in my life only toxic narcissists.The wait is hard…
All I see is a lot of rubbish where are the fruit and vegies and meat
Ok she brought fruit and vegies and meat but all those unhealthy packets of cereal and biscuits oh my gosh
✋
this is amazing honestly. i would be completely overwhelmed by having to shop for so many people but she handles it so well and the attention to detail when it comes to each persons likes and dislikes is so heartwarming.
Thank You 🧡🧡🧡
Not saying you're not kind and good people, but please, please don't say you're doing it hard, you're not, not by a long shot.
She’s an entitled woman that thinks her life is hard
I love these videos! Especially when I’m having a bad day. Just sitting and watching these are relaxing! It also gets me motivated to make my grocery list!
🧡🧡🧡
I agree as well!
same!!!
Me too
Same!!!
The portion sizes are insane!!! I am from Ireland and everything in the supermarket (store) here looks tiny compared to this store! Those steaks are gargantuan 😆😅
I was thinking the same from France 😅. Craziest steaks ever 😱
Same from Russia here😹 Often our large sizes of products are smaller than their average ones
@@mintly3186 idk, but I guess the large packaging sizes are just an American thing ? 😂 i also never saw such a big sizes in Germany or any country in Europe
Same here in The Netherlands 😂 Every package is so huge! Cheese, meat, cookies etc all of it🤣
Yeah im from the Balkans (you can probably tell) and I was confused in how she's buyin the groceries in shipping boxes
Edit: Damn that's a lot of meat!
I don’t know why she buys so much bottled water. Why doesn’t she refill those bottles it will save the environmental from so much trash plus save her money
did you not hear that there water tank was broke
Loved seeing you shop! We are a fixed disability pension so often we go without. Grocery shopping for us is stressful. It was nice to live vicariously thru you and see all the treats & fun items you got ❤
I'm blown away by the plastic you purchased in this video. It's not an hate comment but please consider other alternatives of purchases or anything you can just consume through other ways, for example reusable water bottles instead of plastic cups!
I wish you the best! ❤
You missed the why, she got plastic. A broke septic tank !!
A heck of a lot of luxuries. I would start off with basics then go over to luxuries it there is money to spare
A tip for the pancakes: use milk with the mix instead of water!! adding some cinnamon in the mix makes them yummy too (my mom's favorite trick). Love from Bronxville, NY. you make me want to be a great mom in the future.
I used to be a short order cook for a little mom~n~pop diner and she would use milk and add an egg too.
Buttermilk 👌
Buttermilk and vanilla extract so yummy 😋😋
@@caseymariedaniels6941 vanilla..?..🤔
YUM!..😘
Thanks for the idea!..
I thought of slivered almonds after the vanilla went through my brain too!
✌😎❤🇺🇸🤘🎸
GREAT TIP!!... followed by a so sweet comment, lovely lady . You’ll be a wonderful mother with that heart!
✌️ Rosey and
What I really like about what you do is that you get each individual child their favorites. I know a lot of moms that would make their children eat what they bought. I think each child feels special when you do it the way you do things. Great mom. 💜
This is very nostalgic for me. It reminds me of shopping with my mom when I was younger. My mom had 7 kids of her own, 5 nieces and 5 nephews, which was a total of 19 of us all living together. My cousins had rough lives but my parents never hesitated to take them in. In my family we call our cousins our brothers an sisters. Makes me remember my brothers. #R.I.P. ❤️
Aww
I will never complain about doing food shopping by myself ever again. And I feel very poor because 1/2 of this haul 4 times a month would have me in overdraft!
Oh my gosh!! i know right, I’m having so much anxiety watching this cause I don’t think I could afford all this food in a year!!
government
@@krissied4507 Right and steaks thank you tax payers
1 cart of that would already be 400 euro in belgium these days...and we only get payed around 1600-1900
I know right?! I'm already stressed out every week with my grocery shopping for our family of 3 😵💫🙈
i love how she’s like „my kid wanted this so i buy it“ and „i think my kid is going to love it“.. actually thinking about the kids even if there are 12 of them
Love this grocery haul! Grocery shopping is so fun 😍
Bottled water is such a waste of money, and many bottles end up in landfills and the ocean. A water filtration filter on the end of your faucet would save you money as well as reuseable bottles. Just a thought.
As long as a watermelon is heavy for its size and has a yellow spot too it from where it was sitting in the ground, means it’s sweet. I used to be a produce manager just thought I’d pass along the knowledge, I think it’s amazing what your doing. Good on you!
Thanks!! I needed this :D
Thanks!
I’m sure someone has already said it but as soon as we return home with onions my husband cuts them in dices and round slices and then freezes them immediately. They last for many months and it’s easy to just thaw out what you need and no worry of any of it going bad.
Great tip! Thanks
First time seeing you. You are amazing. I am a retired SW and I worked for a while in Children and Family Services. I wish all parents knew their children and had the go with the flow attitude that you have adopted. Keep up the wonderful work. 🇨🇦🎯🌟👍💖
dont mean any disrespect but most of the stuff you give your kids is loaded with chemicals that are causing people to get sick as adults.
She's just amazing
She's like the crazy cat lady but with kids
And actually cares
This is so cute and funny lol
that is so accurate 🤣
Yes that was a high weekly total for a more typical size family. I think it was a fair and good amount for your size family. Roughly 100.00 per person for 7 days of meals and snacks. 100 a week for 1 person is actually really good!! 14 bucks a day for 3 meals and snacks. When you break down like that it shows you better how well you are doing. Keep up all the hardwork. Id do anything to have your energy.
I agree. I said the same thing. Seems about right
I spend about $700 a month for me and my husband. Groceries are so high.
I know there’s never a dull or boring time in your busy life. It takes a strong woman to have that many kids, also a lot of patience. Thanks again for your channel. NewJersey 👍🏻👍🏻
First time watching any of your videos, thought I'd let you know for watermelons, aim for a watermelon that sounds semi-hollow when you knock it, is slightly mor rounded than it is longer, and use two fingers to measure the stripes, you want them about 2 fingers apart. This is what I was taught when my families (3 different farmsteads between us) to find the best watermelons in each patch every year. Was almost never disappointed
As an European, I’ve been gasping the whole video, what are these sizes😦 But it’s great that u can afford it and specially for each kid likes, this kids are lucky🥺 U r such a great mom!
So many people have commented this I would love to see European sizes.
I just found your channel and I love it! What you have written at the end of the video description saved my day. Thank you 🧡
the fact that all this food is for one week... *mind blown* this mom is a trooper!!!
I cannot imagine how hard it is to take care of 12 kids
Your amazing 😻
People amazed at the food and attention to her children while I'm wondering how much time it took to load her car
The employees loaded it!
i mean lets talk about the total time she spent AT the grocery😅
My worst nightmare would be hauling it all into the house and putting it away.
I lived on a farm in Tennessee. This is how you tell if melon is ripe. Look at the stem it needs to be brown not green. After you eat a big meal thump your stomach area. That's the sound a melon will make when you thump. You are welcome 🤗
Good to know!
Yes, that is exactlyhow we 'test' the melon in Türkiye, a loud smack and looking for yellowish stem.
can tell she’s a really really nice and kind person
Love your videos Alicia! You make shopping so much fun and it's so nice to watch and listen to your fun, caring approach to groceries for your family!
A few quick tips that my parents taught me...
My dad always told me to look for little black sap-like marks on the watermelon, which he called "bee stings".. apparently, they're indications that the watermelon is sweet because the sugar leeks out from the watermelon. Also, the yellowish sun spots on a watermelon are good too! It means the watermelon is full, so it didn't move around (like flipping on a tanning bed) while growing!
For onions, if you store them in a dry place with the little silica packets you get from packaged foods, the packets will keep your onions dry and preserved longer!
These are just family tips, so I can't guarantee their 100% accuracy, but they've worked pretty well for us so far! Have a great week Dougherty's!
To stop onions going bad they need to be stored in a cool, dark and we'll ventilated space. Preferably in a basket not in a bag. This stops them going bad so quick. Love your family and positive videos
Onion bag is literally netting
OMG! Alesha you are an amazing person! Love your videos and how wonderful your family is. You kind of look like one of my favorite chefs Ree Drummond. Look just as pretty as she is. Love your grocery trip videos so much. It makes me enjoy grocery shopping even more. My dad and I uses to go grocery shopping together but, sadly my dad passed away from cancer. But thanks to you I can do my best and have a great time enjoying grocery shopping more without my beloved dad being here. Again thanks so much for your awesome videos and I hope your videos bring so much joy and comfort to everyone who sees your videos.
I will never be able to afford food freely like this, but I am so glad you’re able to afford this for your family. I’m glad your family has this level of financial security. It is both a little sad for me to watch and yet so peaceful as I imagine how your kids must be grateful for it. Have a fantastic day!
"it's not the healthiest sauce" after getting sugary cookies, snacks, chips, cheese... Yeah...I don't think you need to worry about the sauce. Lol 😆
Thank you Alisha H 📠
At least she’s trying her best to take care her kids please be kind
@@sophiaabbassy7339 When foster kids worry about eating at all and are super anxious, heck I'd get them whatever they wanted. She's very sensitive to each of her kids. KUDOS!
It’s nice to have many kids when you have the money to take care of them all . It’s so nice seeing that she takes care of them and feeds them well
@Lilman Yellow Can’t think of a better way to spend tax payer money than to help loving families look after children who have had it hard through no fault of their own. Thank goodness for people like this woman 🥰
They.most likely are on public assistance. Also they buy bottled water, expensive snacks, they can be more frugal. I am not believing how the family gets away with this. What does the husband do to make money. Mom has no time to work. I’m one person and I am more careful how I spend my money. She can bake, for example. Use a water filter…etc etc
Why doesn’t she shop at Costco or Sams club?
Watermelon pick!!! 🍉 I have found the more of the rigged lines/marks on them the sweeter they are. I also allow it to sit on counter for a day or 2, no longer than that. I also tey to make sure the yellow part on "bottom" of 🍉 is dark yellow.
I love your videos!!! You are such an amazing mom!!!
I love how you make sure everyone gets something they love in the shopping. In a large family its a lovely way to make each kid feel special.
Pro tip from someone who works in an in-store cafe. To maintain the cold chain and freshness of your fridge/frozen items, if you want to shop them first, just ask the store to keep them in the walk in fridge/ freezer in the back while you get the rest of the stuff on your list. otherwise pick them up last.
Bless this great mom and her beautiful family.. Wishing the best
This is what I do at BJ'S. I get 1 cart just for water. I refuse to use city water except for showers and wash. I am extremely careful due to we live a mile from a company that put forever chemical in the ground water and air. I was wondering if you had a BJ's or Sam's club near you. I have found that when I use the coupons it is much cheaper and I can get bulk in everything. I found there is a store that has bigger bulk in Delaware. I think shopping for food is so relaxing. I love doing it alone. If I have anyone with me I forget half of my list 😂. Great job mom. I never knew Wegmans had bulk . I have to try them
The watermelon is "usually" the best if it is really yellow on one side and sounds hollow when you knock on it. I love your videos. You are such a wonderful MOM.
Also, I saw a Tikttok video that said the smaller the "belly button" of the watermelon the better.
I loved how you also buy something for yourself even with that amount of grocery list, I can tell that you lived a happy life with your family. This is so satisfying to watch. I liked it!
I am so energetic after listening your last 4 lines.. we also so proud of you.. thanks for giving us these types of so admirable lessons..
great stuff, its a good plan to buy a water filter and use reusable bottles. We ditched the plastic bottles and it cut down on waste so much
I’m a Costco employee and it makes me hurt inside a little thinking about how much you’d save shopping at Costco with all of the bulk options of these items! 😅
She did mention she shops at Costco. I guess just not exclusively.
Hubby is about to get his silver badge there! 😁
There are 6 of us, some things definitely come from Costco, some things we discovered were way cheaper to just grab in the store. Our last Costco trip was like $600! I almost passed out 😂😂😂
Not all places have Costco and that size of grocery you need a car and ours are so far you also need a car
At Maxi you can use points from the Pharmacy card so my daughter got $50 free of groceries as she has lots of trips at the grocery and they are only 5
I am also a Costco employee and was thinking the same thing, that she would save so much money on the majority of the stuff she put in her carts!
It's a beautiful thing when a parental figures shops out of love, sympathy,and geniune concern for the welfare of those placed in their trust. Thank you for sharing this with your viewers 💗
Your kids are so loved and so blessed. You are an awesome mom!
As an German its so much fun to watch all the cool products you have there. And also there come in so much bigger size's. Now i want to shop there😅
I dont know when or how this became my favorite channel but I have watched EVERY video. I love this family. Ive never seen any woman like you. Youre such an inspiration. I strive to be like you.
Thank you so much!
For the Krusteaz pancake mix, try it with milk instead of water and only use the amount necessary while mixing until you reach the consistency you like. Also, mix a small amount of pure vanilla extract. They taste soooo good! 🥞🥞🥞
@Zen K have you ever tried maple extract? So good!
That’s how I make mine!! Sooooo good that way
@@thetroyerfamily I haven't tried maple extract yet, but I use Maple Syrup!😋
I also like to add some Powdered sugar to this, usually about 1 tbps to 2 cups of pancake mix. My girls love it this way!
I’m going to try this. I use vanilla, will try milk
Irish person here, the amount of brands and different food and flavours in america is unreal
Hi Alicia! I love your makeup, earrings & hair color! I enjoyed watching this Wegmans shopping haul! Great video!
Watching episodes I have missed. She makes me feel so calm. I enjoy the positive attitude even when things go wrong.
I hate that some people try to bring her down for stupid 💩! I can guarantee they don’t treat their kids a tenth as good as she treats hers! I think it is awesome she figured out a way to get her family everything they need. Smart woman! Love love love your channel!

Wow i grew up in a huge catholic family and my mom also ran a home daycare so we had a house full of people to feed all the time and my husband was adopted with 12 adopted brothers and neither of us ate like this. We didnt starve or anything but neither of our parents were buying individually packaged snacks and things like that and most meals were home made to be able to stretch and feed enough people. I had some other friends with large families too and most of them didnt get individually packaged snacks and if they did it was for one snack after helping shopping not for the week. Generally our families bought things in bulk boxes or bags and then put them into plastic baggies or travel containers. If i had 12 kids i would probably want to do the same just for convenience of not having to clean 14 peoples dishes but on the other end you must have a massive budget to afford all that. No judgement on your food choices either, people can say what they want but everyone in the us has eaten these foods before just the way their packaged individually tends to cost more it just blows my mind that you can afford to buy them like that but good for you id want convenience with all those kids too so i cant judge lol.
Girl you haft to get the dark green ones their the best ❤️❤️
I would love to see a bathroom tour! I love how they each get their own items but I can imagine that’s hard to store and I would love to see how you make it work. 😊
Yes I want to see what happens when they get home with all the groceries
me to!!
Love to see people have a large family! Your really inspiring me to have/adopt alot of kids when I become older! :)
PS for the watermelon look for thick dark green strips, a yellow belly and knock on it and if it sounds deep/loud it's perfect!
Your house is a heaven for kids as far as sweet and snacks go. I would love to try all of those. There were too many delicious - but of course not that healthy - snacks in your carts. No one will ever have a problem finding something they crave at any minute.
I love how she is organizing with her shopping for the family
Ever since I’ve watched your videos I got my home in order because I got embarrassed that I got 2 kids and the space I have to clean is not that big so that gave me a huge motivation to do it and I really gotta say its because of you so I truly thank you for that 🙏❤️ you make it look like a breeze you’re the definition of superwoman 🥰❤️
I learn from your videos and the way you manage things all the time!! Keep it up we love you ❤️
Bless you dear!
Same. She just has such a positive attitude.
@@kathymyers7279 God bless you too 🙏❤️
@@fundamonium yea it’s contagious ❤️❤️
Same here
I just want to say to the people judging this family that they all work very hard. They take on more, they work even harder. Please remember this is for entertainment and motivation and a teeny tiny spec of a glimpse into this person’s life. I applaud this woman for her creativity, determination to get things done and her never ending charcuterie board ideas (please make a charcuterie board book) 👏🏻 heart ♥️
i would recommend costco for a big family, and i love how u have each snack for each child and what they liked. i love you and ur family's channel and tiktok. god bless u and ur family have a good day❤️
I miss eating Krusteaz Pancake mix! The pancakes are so soft, fluffy, and so delicious 🥞
It feels relaxing watching someone buys lots of groceries. Btw you're a wonderful mom 💕
It amazes me how you can remember all the kids choices of snack or body wash, etc.! Way to go mom!!
Honestly, I'm curious how people find this amazing. These are here kids that have been with her for many years and she cooks for them, preps lunches etc. How could someone not know? Lol seems strange to me
@@RosettaStoned462 my mum would have no idea what my favourite snacks are or what body wash I like. Stop being so negative. Alicia is such a great mama and should be praised, take your negativity elsewhere
@@regancameron2378 you're weird and sounds like your mom should not have had kids.
My goodness does anyone read the ingredients and research the chemicals. Watching this video just blow my mind. I am in shock watching this video. I cook from scratch and will not buy 95% of the products viewed. Geez I am in shock.
I love shopping and grocerry shoppings too, im addicted about those😂and i love these wholesale stores. I wish i could buy like this💀she is buying for each kids and she knows what all they like and she is getting for them. Thats really sweet🥹
Your grocery haul videos make me so happy. What an amazing mom those kiddos of yours have!
I would consider buying pounds of shells and boxes of velveeta cheese in the blocks. Since you have a large family, you will be able to make use of the ‘value’ size that the velveeta block provides!
These videos are so uplifting.
Also I love how you’re thinking of every kids needs/wants like how you were getting Bree cheese it’s or Alex his ices. It’s so nice of you. You are an amazing mother we all love you
Now I wanna go grocery shopping when I know I can’t afford it 😂.
Love what you do for all your kids! 💜
I just love how she remembers everything about all of her kids and there eating habits , just amazing
This woman is a HERO for these groceries alone. I hate shopping, abs my momma did too. This must take so much energy and planning. A true HERO.
