I never ever post at night but today was WILD here. Thanks for watching anyways!!
I like it!!!
Thanks either way!!
I was shocked when I saw you posting this late 😂 I was also going through tribe withdraw wondering if it was going to be a break week since you didn’t post earlier but no matter what time I’m glad you did! Hope everything is ok since you said it was crazy there today! Hope to hear about it soon lol
I was surprised! What a nice treat to watch before bed! Love it!
Good to see your post Sarah ❤ Anytime!
Did you change your posting schedule? I have been checking frequently. ❤
$5 is not a bad price for chips. Sarah you do you, don’t worry bout what people say!
I agree. I bought a bag of ruffles to go with an appetizer I made and they where 5.69 for 13 oz! You do you Sara!
Exactly! They obviously haven't shopped lately cause doritos r around $6 n NC.
Agree! I'm from Australia and you can pay $5 for a 170g bag or corn chips these days
The person with the chip issue is unrelatable if they think 5.00 for a big bag of chips is outrages because I don’t know what world they’re living in
Right ? In Cali we pay $5 for the much smaller bag unless it’s on sale .
I get a 30 pound box of blueberries from my daughter in law who works for a local food processing plant. They are HUGE berries. This company processes them for Dole. They are flash frozen, and I then use my food sealer and make up bags with 6 cups of berries and hand them out to our senior neighbors. And the best thing.. is that it's FREE !. ha
How kind of you! And so generous with your time! ❤❤❤
That is FANTASTIC. I know they appreciate it. Unfortunately a lot of Seniors are on such a tight budget, fresh fruit, some veggies & proteins, may not fit into their BUDGET.
BLESS YOU🙏
lol the people that are mad you spent $5 on chips don’t understand that those huge family size bags are a deal because the smaller versions at the grocery store cost the same. I think you’re doing a good job choosing better ingredients for your large family!
These people complaining about your $5 chips obviously don’t shop!! Yeah!! I said it! Lays chips at Kroger, where I work, are $5 a bag…. Yes they run a sale but if you don’t read the tag, you won’t get the deal! But you’re buying the good chips, where you can read pronounce all the ingredients!! Y’all eat clean, which will become apparent later in life when the kids grow up and they know the difference in clean and junk!! You Rock, Sarah!!
I was just about to say the same, at the grocery store an 8 oz. bag of Lays is $5
😂😂 at a convenience store it is almost $8 for there regular size bags. We started making our own. 100# of potatoes every month.
Say it louder for the back of the room.
The price of chips where we live in Tulsa is horrible! Small bags are almost $8 per bag, and that's for the name brand😮

For those who think the Late July Tortilla Chips cost too much, Doritos cost the same amount at Walmart. Gosh, I am 57 years old, and I have never had children. I am in awe of how she does it all. From a husband to a baby still in diapers, homeschools her kids, has a You Tube channel, cooks every day three times a day from scratch, active in church, has cows, chickens, land, building a house, has parents on the other side of the country, in law on the other side of the world. Her family is healthy happy and thriving, I don't think she is bothered about the relatability of a tortilla chip.
I love that you aren’t editing out the distractions. Read life that other large families appreciate. We’re not alone!!
I’m so blessed my yard is surrounded by avocado, mango and breadfruit trees here in Puerto Rico 🙏
Sarah, you aren't unrelatable. It's easy to relate to how you do things. Every family has to do things that work for their own needs. I love to watch your videos. 😊
I really admire you, Sarah. You work really hard to plan and purchase healthy meals and snacks for you and your family.❤
Healthy is the best haha
You can pop in baggies and freeze the blueberries just as is. Do not rinse before freezing. I thaw for smoothies, pancakes or in blueberry tea bread. They grow wild near me and I’m able to pick gallons worth for free!!
I rinse and dry mine before freezing
We have blue berry bushes , I wash and then put out on towel and dry, put in bag and freeze and then easy to eat. Mine has a lot of trash on them, part of the bush and the top of berry.
Can I ask you why you would not wash the berries BEFORE freezing
@@PENPAL555 If you wash them before you freeze them they tend to get soggy or mushy. Even if you dry them off it doesn’t take all the moisture away. When I pull them out of the freezer I put them in a colander and rinse them off and thaw them at the same time. Just my own personal experience. Especially with the wild native Maine blueberries.
@@missymyers7043
Ok, thanks for sharing. I guess have never had blueberries from Maine, bc that has not been my experience, good to know though 👍.
$5.99!? 😱 Sarah, you’re out.of.control! 😂😂
Sarah
I LOVE that you're not letting that person get to you! LOVE IT!! You know people put value on so many different things in life so they can afford other things that are more important to them. YES, you may spend $5.99 on a family size bag of chips. But she may be spending $60 on a Jeffery Star Eye shadow Palette, or not buying TOP TIER GASOLINE like some that you might not NEVER EVER would. So people who even have the kahunas to remark on those things just shock me! They can't be so ignorant to realize that. Right?? I mean you've stated so many times all the years you weren't able to afford Healthier foods. But now because of learning different ways. Budgeting, and of course WORKING YOUR WAY TO BECOMING more financially secure, you can!!!
That old saying..... people who live in glass houses...... You know what I mean. It just really irritates me because NO ONE KNOWS what really goes on in anyone else's home OR BUDGET!!! LOL!!!
Love you guys!!!
Sarah, Costco will give you a new card, just tell them at customer service that you lost your card. You just will have to show your ID. If you are in a hurry and don't want to take pic and all for a new card, tell them you forgot your card. They ask for your ID and will print you a temp card for the day.
Hey Sarah… I live in Berry country in British Columbia. Blueberries are the absolute easiest berry to process.
I like to wash mine before freezing, but some people don’t even do that. You do not have to poke a hole in them. When you freeze them, it burst the skin, so it perforates it. Then you can dehydrate them straight from frozen… If you’d like to have them on hand for muffins in the winter, you can simmer blueberries for about 20 minutes or so add a splash of lemon and some cinnamon and you have blueberry sauce. You can can it or eat it on pancakes, yogurt, lemon loaf, or anything else. If you don’t have time, you can simply wash the blueberries and pack them into jars andcan them. Add a splash of lemon and a little cinnamon if you want. Blueberries can be water bath canned so you do not have to pressure can them.
That’s probably more than you wanted to know, but I did want you to know how easy they are to process. So the kids can even prepare them for the freezer or pack them in jars for water bathing. Enjoy those blueberries!
OMGosh. You shop so smart, healthy, a few candy’s for kids, etc. There is one shopper on YT (We all know who) who justifies spending $2,000.00 A WEEK. Ignore anyone who says otherwise. When you have time, it would nice to hear and see a house update. Hugs to All. 🤗🤗🤗🤗
If you checked its 2,000 for one months worth of groceries plus she’s got like 10 kids all various ages and growing
If it's a month and why does she say every time weekly grocery haul, midweek grocery haul. We are talking about the DD lady
@@RubysSavingsDougherty dozen she's interesting to watch
Blueberries are 1 of the easiest foods to preserve. I simply put them in freezer bags and freeze. It makes an amazing, cold, snack, on a hot summer day! Almost as good as candy 😄
I think the complainers forget that cook almost 100% of three meals plus snacks EVERY day! I admire your quest for good food balanced by cost for 13 people! Every day! I’m a household of one, and I don’t cook like you do. Please don’t let those comments get in your head ! Blessings! ❤❤
I live in North Carolina and a family size bag of any chip is $5.99 or higher. The irony is that there aren’t that many chips in the over priced bag. If we have company for a cookout I purchase at least 3 bags of chips. There are never any left! You do such a great job on your budget Sarah. There will always be naysayers! Ninety nine percent of us think you’re perfect!!! Thank you for sharing!
I used to freeze blueberries, put on tray then package them up. Used them in blueberries muffins or loaf bread.
Frozen blueberries and frozen sliced peaches mixed together while frozen. Great on the table, especially in a glass bowl. Set them out early and they thaw beautifully.
I used to do that but now I just band them on the counter and they break apart really well.
We love Late July! They never go bad, cleaner and guest always comment how good they are. The kids love them and their expectations for chips are higher so they don’t buy “cheap” snacks when out. Freeze blue berries whole. Frozen blue berries are the bomb in lemonaade
I so love your grocery hauls! Your channel was one of the first channels I subscribed to . Destiny was a small baby back then. Watching the children grow and seeing all the adventures and amazing life events has truly been a blessing. You're doing an amazing job! God bless you all.
This one was CHAOTIC 😅 I love it lol. This is what it's like when I get home with groceries. Bless your sweet fam ❤
Haha real life!!
For the blueberries- Freeze on sheet trays in single layers then put in ziplock bags... prevents then from mushing together into 1 big brick... You can eat them frozen or in baked goods etc. (Same for grapes!)
A quick bang on the counter breaks apart really well
Today was a long day for our family of 6. This overstimulated mom was so excited to see your new video drop. I clicked immediately! Your videos always make my day better ❤
For the blue berries, you can freeze and use as icecubes, you can also meal prep blueberry muffins and pancakes
We live in AZ and got lemons from a family members tree and I used your trick and froze the lemon juice in little cubes! I’m super excited to use them. ❤
One of my kids loved eating frozen blueberries straight out of the freezer. I would buy them when in season, wash, dry and flash freeze on cookie sheets before bagging up in freezer zip top bags. He could have a bowl of frozen blueberries year round that way. The quality of them when frozen and fully thawed is not great, but having frozen blueberries on hand was also great for smoothies or baking blueberry muffins, coffee cakes, etc.
It makes sense that your grocery budget has gone up for a couple of reasons: grocery prices are going up around the world, not just the US. My friends in Canada and Europe are paying way more than we are. Also, as your kids are getting older, they are eating more. Even with two of them living away right now, you're feeding more teens and young adults than you used to, so the food doesn't go as far. You're doing a fabulous job of feeding them quality foods that keep them filled longer, though.
I absolutely love your videos. You are awesome and do a great job with your big family. They are the sweetest kids.
You are doing amazing feeding so many. Our family of 6 spends a good chunk too.
Thousand Hills is so good!! Beautiful haul! We shop weekly for our fam of 13, but I think it’s fantastic you go once a month! That bag of mangoes! Haha! I need to find those at Azure! I'm so happy for you and your family; you must be excited to travel and see family in Kenya. What a blessing❤️
of all the things you have...you NEED a couple apple trees..maybe some pears and plums as well, red raspberries grow well in the area as well
Caught you just in time for relax time ❤❤❤
So happy to have your channel !!
God bless you all 🙌🏽🤍🪽
I feel the same way 😊❤
My philosophy is I try to eat as close to “real” as possible the majority of the time. That also doesn’t mean I won’t eat fast food once in a while. I do raise the vast majority of my vegetables and can them and we also butcher our own pork and cure our own bacon, sausages and hams. That helps the budget and also helps in knowing what goes into the majority of our food.
When you buy avocados, pop them into a container of water. They stop the process of aging. Not even sure how it works, but it does 🙌🏽
No one's business what your choices are for food. You know what is best for your family and budget.
The five dollar chips/5.99 was hilarious!!! This just shows that God created people differently and uniquely. I pray for those unique people to be understanding that some people like chips that cost more or less then they do. :)
I pick fresh blueberries in the summer to fall and freeze in quart freezer ziplock bags (4Cup) You can do in gallon size if you have room-:) I do not rinse in water but I do sort through I with a tray with a cotton dish towel, rolling them around , as I sort through them helps to take the dust and other that might be present. They are great to have in the freezer whole through the winter season. Can use in pancakes, make pies, muffins, put in smoothies, kid s like to eat , as well as I think they are a nice frozen treat😃👍🏼 these are just a few ways so many ways😃👍🏼
I just wash the blueberries and put them on a parchment paper lined sheet tray in one layer, and freeze it, then put it in gallon Ziploc bags. I like it as a frozen snack in a bowl with milk poured over them (the milk freezes and it is so good!), or smoothies, or in breads and pancakes and compotes.
Sarah, so proud of you for ditching the Diet Coke this month. We used to spend ALOT of money on bottled drinks. We now buy Celestial Seasonings fruit flavored Tea Bags. I brew about 10-12 teabags in a Dutch oven. After cooling and squeezing out the bags, we get a gallon of iced tea. Also I only use a half cup of sugar for the whole gallon. It’s delicious and healthier than the bottled drinks.
That's a great idea! I'm going to have to try that for my kids.
I'm curious to try this, can I ask what your favourite flavors are?
@@robynhayward Of course. We like he Red Raspberry, Mixed Berry, Blueberry, Peach, and Lemon. Sometimes I mix certain flavors together. Ex. Peach/Raspberry. Aka Peach Melba.
@@johannagarcelon9240 awesome I'll try some, thanks 😊
@@robynhayward Robyn, I also like to add some Newman’s Limeade to the glass of tea.❤️❤️❤️
😍 This is great! God bless you Beautiful family. 😊❤️
I've been watching you for a couple years now and with what I've gathered from how you like to feed your family Costco hands down has the quality ingredients and products you want over Sams - and for reference I also have both memberships.
I absolutely positively believe that you are an amazing cook, and you all eat healthier than anyone else on the internet!!!!!!!!!
Anyone complaining about your hauls have absolutely no idea what they are talking about!!!!!
You Rock Sarah!!!!!!!
I freeze blueberries and just put them in freezer bag and in freezer.
Costco also has business stores that specifically supply commercial endeavors but any Costco members can use them. I have found good for many things in larger sizes that regular Costco does not carry, example- boxes of very wide lasagna noodles and nacho chips . Also, ramen noodles are easy to make if you have a pasta machine, the nests of noodles freeze very well and are handy if you discard the flavor packs anyway.
You're doing amazing with your grocery budget for a family as large as yours. Keep up the good work. The economy is so bad especially on essential items like groceries and gas. I enjoy your money saving tips!!
You’re doing amazing !!!!!! I just returned from living in Waikiki Hawaii for 13 months and the prices of food ie chips is a WHOLE lot MORE there than what someone(s) was being negative towards you about ! How you choose to spend the money that God gives you is up to you and we all could learn from you for sure ! Growing in Grace, Deborah in Florida ❤❤❤❤❤
Deborah welcome to Florida!!
@@sarahludos7970thank you! I was born here almost 65 years ago (April 24th) and have lived here off and on many times. Glad to be back in my home state.
@@deborahschaub2925 we moved about 3 years ago, retired and love it!
@@deborahschaub2925 Wow, my birthday too = and we're in FL now 😍
Some easy applesauce you can make yourself is literally just putting a bunch of apples into a pot and cooking them down. You can add some cinnamon if you want, we do some with and without. My mom uses baking apples and then will add in a few Honeycrisp per batch to make it more tart. I think ball has a recipe because we also jar it.
I have a Blueberry Farm in BC Canada 🇨🇦 and you can freeze berries just the way they are, you can also can them. I read you need to poke a hole in them to dehydrate them.
For Blueberries I just wash them dry them off and put into gallon ziplock bags. then freeze flat. They work great for pancakes, muffins for jam etc. I take them out of the freezer and pop right into what I'm making. Hope it helps
I totally understand that food prices have gone up all over the world! I am from the UK, and they definitely went up a fair bit here. I also understand that some people struggle more than others, but at the end of the day, I wouldn't be getting mad at what others are doing with THEIR MONEY! To be honest, you are trying to project your feelings or situations on to them. Doesn't mean this lady isn't relatable!
I’m late-but you can can whole blueberries!! Just fill a jar with them and top with water. Super simple and great to have on hand for baking without taking up freezer space. Can also dehydrate (no freeze dryer here) but you have to dip them in hot water to pop them first. Hope this helps!
I had a blueberry orchard in South Carolina with lots and lots of berries. I picked and sometimes I rinsed them and sometimes I just picked and froze them. I used freezer bags. When I took them out to use they were just like I had picked them. We had gardens and I froze and canned everything I could. I loved canned fresh string beans they were the best. I miss that life.
I have 5 boys! So pretty big family. Soo I love these lol there’s a view things you have gotten me to throw into my meal rotations
Sarah you cracked me up with the chip thing! You have a fantastic family!! Totally relatable!!
For the blueberries- just spread them out on a cookie tray and pop them in the freezer to flash freeze. Package in vacuum seal or gallon freezer bags, and done!
Blueberries - no need to poke a hole if you freeze. I love to can them in light syrup as well and I put it on my yogurt and granola... so so good!!
The way I preserve blueberries is by washing them, dry somewhat on paper towels, then freezing them in a single layer on cookie sheets. I then put them in freezer bags - ready to eat or cook with. They last a very long time in the freezer. We make smoothies with a lot of frozen fruit.
Great haul. I think you do an amazing job taking care of those sweet babies. Love your sweet family.
If I had that many blueberries I would freeze some. I have never poked holes in each blueberry. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you
Poking the hole or cutting the skin on blueberries is only for freeze drying! They freeze really well without needing to do anything :)
I recently got a freeze dryer and love it so much...!
And I love hearing Peace’s little voice
Such a nice treat to end the day with a video. It helped end a cruddy day on a high note!
I make my own apple chips, just slice some apples thin lay them on their side, I don't even seed or core them, lay tgem on parchment paper on baking sheets I even place them kinda sitting on the side, it doesn't matter, I sprinkle with cinnamon, on both sides and put tgem in a preheated 225° oven then check and flip them in an hour or so, it takes about 3-4 hours depending on how thin they are, I store them in a ziplock with a moisture absorber..... yours probably wouldn't last that long, but it's a thought. 😊 when we go pick blueberries, we have them in abundance, we wash them, tgen let them slightly air dry and put them in freezer bags, they are delicious to just eat frozen in the summer or add to yogurt or ice cream..... also blueberry lemonade is delicious, just crush a handful or so in the lemonade. .... yummm
Thank you for sharing, I always ❤ all your vloggs!
Blueberries freeze great place on a single layer when frozen place in ziplock bags, great for muffins. Pancakes. You can make syrup with sugar.
Love your videos. You do such an amazing job at feeding your family. Love your what's gor dinner video and am always amazed at all your canning, cooking from scratch and making your own bread, sour cream, ranch dressing, mozzerella and so much more. You truly are the greatest mom ever❤and so encouraging to me to follow better and more.
and
You only need to poke a hole in your blueberries to freeze dry them! Regular freezing is just washing and them tossing in the freezer. Simple!
Put blueberries in a pillow case and freeze them. They don't stick together they don't get mushy and they don't leak
Blueberries are very healthy for dogs!! Throw a handful on top of your dogs food! 🥰
Wash and dry your blueberries and put them on a baking tray, don't over crowd the pan. Put in the freezer overnight with tinfoil ontop. Then you can move them to bags or however else you would rather freeze. They're fantastic that way
To freeze blueberries you just need to wash and then flash freeze and bag up. Easy peezy!
Your Aunt Arlene used to wash the blueberries and freeze them on cookie aheets and then keep them in a freezer bag so we could just grab handfuls.
We freeze 50lbs of blueberries every summer, I have never personally poked a hole in them, we just rinse, let them dry and package in freezer ziplock!
I bought 10 pounds of blueberries as a single gal. I washed mine and picked out any that looked questionable. I let them dry flat and then put them on a rimmed baking sheet and tossed in the freezer and then put in freezer bags... no problem, lasted for a year before I ate them all.
I love your balanced approach. That is much healthier than stressing about how to buy everything organic and stressing about busting your budget.
I enjoy pop drops that you put in sparkling water.
Thank you Sarah for showing your food ❤
Everyday with a big family can be wild lol I totally understand you. You never know what's going to be laying around while doing videos. Sarah you have a beautiful family!
Also- blueberries freeze dry and dehydrate well- store in a jar. Your family will consume well under the 6 months I recommend ( dehydrated) ( freeze dried- forever) unless you put in an air thingy to keep moisture out. Enjoy!
The millet and brown rice ramen is delicious!
I fast freeze blueberries on cookie sheets. Then I bag them and return them to the freezer. That’s it. Easy peasy.
Please tell me where you can get a family sized bag of chips for less than 5.99? That’s crazy talk! You are one of the most relatable people on CZcams. I’m a retired widow with all my kids grown and gone and I find you very relatable and real. Don’t you change anything!
We have Costco and Sam's membership as well, but mainly use Sam's cuz we also get the cash back option which we love. Love that Rice Ramen noodles, you will love them, I promise!!
Blueberry jam is my favorite and I make about every kind. You don’t need to poke them to freeze them. We pick our own so I don’t wash them them before them before I freeze them. Someone will be against that but that’s ok. We are all fine here.
Sarah, I literally watch your channel and am a 54 year old single woman who only had one child who is grown, married and has my two adorable grandchildren! We live two different lives and I still find you so enjoyable AND relatable!!! I love good quality food and the Lord! Keep up being you!
Me too. Married stay at home
Mom and wife of one teen girl. I live a pretty privileged life, drive a Porsche and start my

Yearns for a life like Sarah’s.
The closeness, the respect, the fun, the love. Just radiates.
Those Amylu sausages are amazing! The chicken Gouda ones are my favorite!
Your grocery hauls are my favorite !!! All your fresh fruit looks so good.I bought 2 Navel Oranges at .98 cents the other day !!! YIKES !!! YOu are a great Mama and a very very smart shopper..Love you guys !!! ❤❤❤
Love the large grocery haul and 😢different new items you purchased especially the salmon
$5 for regular chips in Australia is a good price. Family size sets you back a lot more
Blueberry Pie filling. So good!!!! Easy recipe, lots of sugar and cook type clear jell.
Sarah, first of all i really enjoy your channel, you are a wonderful family.. 😊 Also $5.00 for a bag of chips is actually a great deal and there organic. Chips in the smaller stores are actually more and they have less chips, so thats a bargain!!!
just saw a blueberry muffin recipe the other day! either that or pancakes for the leftover blueberries
On the you tube channel the cross legacy she states storing your avocado with your lemons keeps both fresher longer. I freeze blueberries for use in smoothies, sauces, muffins, pancakes. To keep fresh longer in fridge I store in a mason jar w/lid and they’ll keep for up to a month
I used to have a terrible diet coke addiction! When I decided to quit, every time I craved a diet coke, I had a huge glass of ice cold water. Now I crave ice water lol
I make blueberry jam (lower sugar with Pomonas pectin) and it is so so good on yogurt or cottage cheese! I also just freeze blueberries. If I have picked the blueberries I don’t wash them or anything just put them in freezer bags. No hole required lol. They taste so much better than boughten frozen.
The blueberries I pick them myself and will make pie filling that we use on blueberry desserts or as a topping for pancakes/ waffles. It makes a simple meal special. I can the pie filling.
As far as the best you can is what my goal is on food. I also will go easy on myself when I feel bad. Some days ramen is just all I have to cook because I feel bad. No guilt! We all do our best.
I am from a family of 10 children. My mom always made 3lbs of pasta for a meal. Her stomach could not stand tomato sauce so she made tomato soup in place of sauce and paste.
Hello Sarah. 🙂 Great Grocery Haul 👍🏻 Blessings and have a Great Week Sarah and Beautiful Family. 🙏❤🌻🌷
Freeze drying would require poking a hole. I freeze them normally and they're just fine :). Blueberry jam with pamonas pectin is SO yummy!! And also just canning them whole in water yikes berries to add to yogurt or muffins and then blueberry juice that you can use to flavor your homemade kombucha!!
I’ve decided a few things myself. 1. As we get older and have more experience, and assuming we have a better budget or income, we have been able to accommodate dietary wishes. No everyone can afford organic or even azure and that’s okay. In time. Pray about it. 2. The further we moved from the city it just made sense to buy local or bulk like Azure. As a trade off I ditched the Costco card. Will miss the cash back but we do t buy monthly anymore and it’s too far. 3. Even as my family dynamic changes, I still buy bulk. I’m still (always?) learning new skills from breads to cheese to milk products and I want to have ingredients on hand. Going to the store less also costs less (gas, time, and money).
Our budget has also gone up because costs have gone up. Everyone does what they can how they can. And I’d rather see someone get a dozen cans of X for food storage from dollar tree than not at all. We’re all becoming scouts: be prepared. ❤
