I love how the kids in this family are so independent yet so helpful with each other. Nice to see Chloe doing so well. She's a "can-do" girl who can take charge, but she is so tender with her siblings. A beautiful family.
All of a sudden, it seems that Mo is speaking so well! It’s so fun to see the kiddos grow right before our eyes!
Great job Amber and Marc, God bless you big time!
🙏❤️
Marc carrying the case of coke... his face says it all 😂😂
😅❤️
Enoch is so cute "I never tried this but I know it will be so good" Yes it will buddy, Enjoy!
Moe’s speech and sentences are fantastic, he does have a few roll models 😊. Melody 🎶 standing there with the food so cute , she cracks me up . She beats to her own drum or violin 🎻. Love ❤️ it Diane from Rhode Island ❤😊
This ☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻 Yes 👍🏻💯❤❣️
Neta is so adorable. Marc is such a good shopper. It's so cute that he never forgets his kiss. Praying Anna gets into school of the arts also. God bless you all from NC 🙏💙🙏
Thank you!❤️🙏
Marc is a god send
Yes!❤️
Yes he is he deserves to be appreciated more in my opinion 😊
Beautiful family! Kids are so sweet and respectful. Prayers for all of you! Be careful, such a shame NY has become so crazy and dangerous. ❤🙏🏻
Amber, it would be wise to get a large metal rack to put downstairs for your stock up groceries. Also getting a freezer and large fridge for downstairs will really save you some money, you can then buy cases of the canned and dry goods you use most often. I don't have a large family but I've always shopped this way and it really helped a lot during the covid outbreak as the store were pretty empty, I had family members shopping my pantry. It may be lot of cost to start but each time you shop if you need 2 of something buy double and stock the pantry. You'll be very happy you did. Sending love ❤️
Yes! I definitely want to do that!
I was thinking the same thing. Even if you started with a metal bakers rack. Then add a frig freezer. You’d have extra space for both. I’d never get a chest freezer though. Things get lost in there. An upright freezer is worth the cost in my opinion. I also buy things like flour, beans, rice and oats in bulk. I freeze them for about five days to kill any bugs and then I put them in 5 gallon buckets with gamma lids.
@allymichael1609 me too do have an upright freezer in the house and 2 refrigerators and a huge chest freezer in the garage, I put same like things in hard bottom bags , ie chop meat, chicken, pork in their own bags so when I want something I just pull the bag and I can also keep inventory that way. I buy 50lbs of beef, chicken pork at a time each month a different meat or frozen vegetables. Same with dry goods and condiments, today I bought 12 different bbq sauces, and mayonnaise 6 of them. It really stocks up quickly.
It’s slightly presumptuous of you to assume they can afford another refrigerator and/or freezer, don’t you think?
@mrs.p6128 it's a process, I did not suggest it had to be done, NO ONE had that money to start! I certainly did not try to ASSUME that they would do this next week, if you really read the comment I said it would be wise to start this process, with 11 childten food goes quickly, it's WISE to have a stock now that they have more room. I also SUGGESTED to buy 1 now and 2 for later. That's how I started my stocked pantry. But that's for ASSUMING I'm an idiot!
A 2-week grocery haul is only possible because you are so well organized! We are also praying for Anna- that all details go smoothly, that she is able to sleep well, that she takes it in stride and enjoys it too. Very exciting times!!
Thank you! Yes we are praying for Anna!❤️
Did you say they were out of baby wipes at Costco?
Loving Neta’s cute summer dress! I think it’s great that they are teaching the kids how to actually shop in a grocery store. Chloe is learning so much from Marc.
Enoch, enjoy your cocoa puffs, they were my favourite when I was growing up.
Teens and young adults eat a lot. They are not only still growing, but so active they burn it all up. None of yours have even an extra ounce of weight on them. The treats the children picked tonight were yummy. Scones, the Brownies, Popcycles, Boardwalk Taffy, and gummies. Very grown up Choices. I love getting to be a part by watching. Thank you for sharing.😊
Wonderful you can afford all organic food, I have to say Mark might be polite to respect those of us who can not afford . Referring to ingredients as junk when people doing their best.
They are quite self-righteous
@@BeaxhBijoux1990no they aren’t. I have never heard him referring to things as junk.
Just love your videos Amber and Mark! Love how you have raised your kiddos to love, honor and respect each other and their parents♥️♥️♥️
I've eaten peanut butter and pickle sandwiches since I was a child. I'm 80 now and still like them.
Yes! It’s a fun combo!
Ewww lol😊
So glad you can go for 2 weeks
I like how thorough marc is he makes me want to shop at trader joes lol
Hi all... great grocery haul yes you could use another big freezer and refrigerator. I love your beautiful family your kids are so well behaved and sweet to each other and so helpful too 💕 have a great weekend 😊 😀
🙏❤️
Praying for Anna’s audition. I know she will do well. She is so talented. ❤😊
Another great shopping 🛒🛒 video. Nice to see Marc in his new birthday clothes. Great job Chole helping at Costco. Good job Anna helping at Trader Joe's. Everyone is growing up so fast.
Marc did a great job doing the camera and mic at Trader Joe’s! Always love your vids!! ❤
Yes he did he is awesome if Mark can do the shopping and video why can't amber ever do that to give Mark a lil rest some times. The only time amber ever shops and video at same time is when she does birthday shopping the easy and fun stuff
@@jackie49erforeverfaithful35wrong.
Have fun! I love your shopping hauls! ❤️🇺🇸🗽
Oh how refreshing ! finally another large family (on CZcams) that cares about healthy food. I would be curious how much more you guys spend in comparison. I bet it’s not that big of a difference.
You Mama have so many helpers😃
Mo’s speech has just blossomed!!! So big now ❤
Lots of yummy food hope you all had a wonderful day hugs to you all sweet dearest friends The Happy Caravan 😊❤
Love your shopping trips. I hope everyone is doing fantastic.
That was a fun adventure! Good luck Anna!!
Just love shopping with the family!
I love these videos. I watch them weekly ❤
love your videos...look forward to each of them
Love your videos great work .Wishing Anna good luck
I love you guys. Thank you for sharing
going to be some delicious meals🌷love the grocery shops🌷
Your family is absolutely beautiful. My sister use to eat peanut butter and ham sandwich.
Yes! Very creative!
Anna is so sweet and helpful ❤
Made my day watching your video have a awesome weekend
Thank you! You too!❤️
Love your videos really enjoy your videos
My mother was first introduced to peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches in the late 50's and we ate them for snacks growing up!! Love them still🥒🍞❤ Thank you Marc for reading the ingredients on some items, I appreciate knowing what's in our food!! 😊 Blessings 🙏
I'm coming for supper.lol.Nice haul.
Oh - I’ve been getting s different type of limeade there. Sparkling one
Love seeing them at JT with their snacks! 😊
Awwwww Netta's hair is growing in!!! 😃
Mark is truly the Tetris guy!!💙🎶
Love family
My dad loves peanut butter, bologna and pickle sandwiches. Being a vegetarian I just ate peanut butter and pickle and I agree it's a good combo.
You can refresh limo lettuce by putting into ice water. Especially romaine. Cut end off… submerge in ice water and let sit. I take out , once it’s rehydrated and let drain on a dish towel/ tea towel. I store celery in (wrap it in) aluminum foil. It does help. If it goes limp, do same thing- put in ice water and let drain/dry once it’s absorbed water and refreshed.
Im behind on videos. Do you plan to put a full size fridge/freezer downstairs? I was curious what you did with that area. I remmber saying you rented it… I think it would be great to get shelves and have canned goods and stick up in diapers wipes tp etc etc
I was screaming at my phone “amber” you forgot the Lincoln market kiss! Then Marc reminded you! Lol 😂❤
❤️❤️❤️
lol, me too! 😘
Shopping 🛒 🛒 🛒🍆🍅🍉🍊🍑🍐🍏🍎🍍🍌🍋🍋🥥🥥🎂🍰🍥🧁 is so much better when you have the time and kids to help with the groceries food fun and family 😉😄
Great job Chloe with the Costco haul. Wishing all the best to Anna for her Juilliard audition. You can do it!!
Marks voice seriously sounds exactly like my Dads- it was very soothing 🙂My dad also calls me sweetheart
Peanut Butter and dill pickle sandwiches are amazing! You should try it, you won't be disappointed 😁
Thank you 😊
Aww mo bless him hes growing up so so cute , this my hotdog he says , netta is such a bonny baby , i love when they go through cubby stage , its a lot of food , good that children help but can confuse, but still good of them , hope in week goes ok for you , love to you all ,😘👍xxxx
Thank you!❤️
Can’t wait for our Lincoln market kiss 💋
But the bigger bags of beans and store them in a glass jar
I eat peanut butter pickle and mustard sandwich... Yummy
Best way to store Ezekiel bread is freeze it. Take the pieces out when needed.
Yes!
We shop monthly but we are a family of 7 and I have more fridge freezer space to make freezer meals and keep fresh and fridge space
Have you ever turned Netta around the other way so she can see what’s going on instead of her having to constantly turn her head to the left or right? I believe she’s big enough now.🥰
Is there a reason you always wear a hat? They are always cute!
I have seen them carry her so she faces outward many times
hi amber great vlog
🙏❤️🥰
Hi Amber! Two week’s worth of shopping!??? Oh my!😮😮😮
Amber sometimes you gotta splurge ! You’re small enough you can do it every now and then.😮😊 it’s a good thing you have two refrigerators, which means two freezers. Actually, I think y’all have more than two refrigerators. I think I saw an extra refrigerator up against the wall going to your dining room table one time but I could be wrong?
Thank you! Yes the other fridge isn’t plugged in. We need to find a plug for it!❤️
Will you be planting an herb garden this year?
Vidalia onions…the best!
Do you put the whir ends in water so they regrow the green onions
There is a really great vlog on CZcams with a lot of legume friendly and Mediterranean meals called Spain on a Fork. You may find some healthy family friendly recipes on his site to add to your repertoire. I havent found a bad meal on the site yet. 😊
Have you ever thought of buying a bread maker or using one? Bread works out to be around $.50 a loaf or less
I got a good one 25 years ago from Williams sonoma, still going… I use to make pizza dough, dough for cinnamon buns, all kinds of breads, various doughs thst it took out and then turned into finished products . So much cheaper! Makes the house smell so good! You can even take dough out and bake in oven, but more economical
On the setting of the bread maker than using propane gas to use oven.
Buonasera famiglia ❤❤❤ here you all are.... 🎉🎉🎉 And so curious to hear more about the filming on your family?! Wow.... 🙏🫶🫶🫶🫶
Buonasera! ❤️ Yes I will let you know when it airs!
@@TheHappyCaravan looking forward to it.. . 🙏🫶❤️
Great video! Have you tried making salsa instead of having to purchase so many small jars at Trader Joe’s? I have made it by the gallon for parties at work before retiring.
Yes! We’ve made it before. I just find it spoils if we don’t use it within a couple days and usually our burrito days are spaced out. So I have to make it fresh each time. It’s so yummy though! Just takes more time.
Amber, can you sometimes show us how you are making your smothies?
Yeah just make something u almost never make anything can u cook dinners to would love to see that. Making food for ur babies would be awesome to see😊
Hi caravan family Hi Amber you!! guys are the Best!! You remind me of that movie the school of Rock!! Jack Black!!lLove you guys my Prayers are with you God Bless you and your family 🙏 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
You guys are great parents ❤️
🙏🥰
Enoch è un piacere rivederti quando mi sorridi ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Questo video è un piacere rivedervi ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Grazie!❤️
What do you use the bar chocolate for? Just snacking?
I have six kids my budget has always been 550 a month right now got four at home all teachers two adult children and it’s still that much a month we learned two boneless chicken breast i can feed all my kids I learned to cut them very thin ten pounds hamburger lasted us almost three months I also look for discount food and buy that way
Australian here, our bread lasts one day to eat fresh and maybe one or two days for toast. I wonder what is in your bread to last so long.
Can you please give a hair tutorial for the girls' braids? Perfect parts and braiding
Hi Amber, love your videos. Question, do you fill all of the sodas that go with the hotdogs (for the big kids) and if so how do you carry them home??
I was also curious about this- from a transport aspect.
They buy soda from the store
I thought oh no where's the kiss , if you go again tomorrow amber you owe mark a real big big kiss bless you both , i could read it on marks face as you started walking , xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx😘🥰
❤️❤️❤️🥰
Gros bisous à vous tous de France ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Gros Bisous!🥰🥰❤️
Thanks Amber, have just added Parmesan to shopping my list , after seeing you buying it .
❤️🧀🥰
I have never heard of pineapple packed in sweetened syrup???
You guys must have very good jobs.
She does CZcams. I don’t know what he does. Their grocery bills aren’t that bad
What time do the shops close there?
Have you bought rice from Costco?
How do u carry home 12 fountain drinks?
Aldi cheeses are so good and better priced
No - tell Naomi - she has to try - American cheese, mayo, sweet pickles - white bread - it's insanely odd and delicious.
Sugar is natural. When it says all natural it doesn’t mean no added sugar.
I eat peanut butter sandwich with mayo, lettuce and pickle.
Yes! Naomi is onto something!
Do u ever shop at Fairways down on the Westside in the 79s street. Think same st as trader joes
Sometimes!
Is their any academic requirements of Juilliard too?
Lost you guys for a little while. Glad I found you. Did you leave TikTok?
Aw thank you! No I still make TikToks and we do “lives” but I’ve been really busy. I’d love to get back into it!❤️
♥️♥️♥️
❤❤❤
Peanut butter and pickle should be bread and butter pickles, who is crazy enough to do dill?? 😂 my entire family loves them, my partner remains unconvinced that it’s at all decent. I might have to make one and have him try a bite this weekend.
Oh wow that sounds good!
I’m crazy then. Been eating dill pickles and pb for 50 years or more. Sometimes with bacon.
I cant have dairy so im unsure but maybe you could've gotten the cream cheaper at Costco? Its so hard to feed families right now . Family of 6 an its expensive to eat 😢.
Yes! I noticed they have cream! It always seems too big but this week we used a lot!
You can freeze cream, or use in coffee. Dilute with water for baking / soups/other recipes. It is cheaper in large containers.
Il bebè piccola è molto carina ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤
Definitely invest in a bigger freezer.
Yes! That would really help!
