I am in foster care right now … and soon to be adopted .. I have been in foster care since I was 13 I am 15 now … your positive reminders and just everything you say helps me a lot … it’s feels so good to see that there are other kids in this world going threw what I am … it makes me happy seeing a big happy family like yours ❤️thank you
I will never complain of grocery shopping again. Wow, you are so organized! I also love your idea of making an “around the world” dinner every week. Such a great way to introduce new foods….I’m going to try that with my family. Have a good week!
I'm disabled and can't grocery shop anymore. I place an order for someone to pick up at Walmart for me. 🥰 So I LOVE 💕 the Dougherty dozen shopping trips. It lets me see what I can't 💜💚💙💐🥰 see anymore. Thank you
I love grocery hauls but this is my favorite. Growing up I wasn’t allowed snacks and little effort was given when it came to knowing what I would eat. I am legally blind and have texture issues. My mom is amazing but was not prepared for a blind child. Sadly, there are people who just don’t care at all if a child eats. These kids are always considered and well taken care of. I have always wanted to be a foster parent and when I am, this is the level of love and care that I will aspire for.
I have agoraphobia and super nervous about going grocery shopping (it's been 5 years) but I'm now 22 and decided it's time for me to get over my fears. These videos help me so much, thank you. Love the calmness ❤️
I’m so sorry that must be awful :( If it ever gets to hard depends on where you live you can get your groceries delivered to your house Hope that helps
You are such a beautiful person, as someone who works with kids in the care system I understand how these kind of kids need love, safety and people who care. You make such a difference. On behalf of someone in the field you are so appreciated and I hope your life is blessed❤️❤️❤️
I love that you get the kids what they like, and don't force them to eat food they don't like. It makes me so happy that you include the other kids favorite foods!!!❤🙂😊
There's something really therapeutic about watching you shop lol your channel is one of the very very few ones with videos this long that I routinely watch, they're always so soothing, especially on the days when my anxiety/depression are particularly bad 🧡
Though tuna is very nutritious, it’s also high in mercury compared to most other fish. Therefore, it should be eaten in moderation - not every day. You can eat skipjack and light canned tuna alongside other low-mercury fish a few times each week, but should limit or avoid albacore, yellowfin and bigeye tuna
It's crazy. I almost live off what you pay for groceries in a trip to the grocery store. You food bills are mind blowing 🤯. God bless what you do for your family.
If you cut some of your paper bags into strips(as long as the bags aren't coated or lined with anything) and give them a good dip in some natural apple cider vinegar, until they are coated, then put the strips on the affected area of poison ivy or poison oak, it will help draw out and dry the oils and help them heal faster and stop spreading🥰
My grocery budget is $25/week right now so watching these makes me very happy and motivated to get to a place that I could walk in and get what I need without second guessing everything!
I love how you know exactly what each kid loves! It would be so easy to forget or confuse the differences. You are an amazing mom!! Obsessed with your shopping vlogs!
My family could have cared less about my likes and dislikes for mealtimes. I had a weight problem so during high school l was sent off without breakfast and lunch to compensate. Luckily a parent saw l was not eating lunch so she arranged for a free school lunch for me. I was lucky. It is nice to see someone care. What a good example!!
I was overweight also and my father decided I needed to eat tuna on bread for lunch. No Mayo no eggs no relish on wheat bread. I just started throwing it away. Opening just tuna can make a huge lunch room smell bad. After so many rude comments I couldn’t take it anymore. My brothers and sister were normal weight. Now I am the thin one of the family and they aren’t. It isn’t so funny anymore.
I get it that sometimes convenience is more important than cost. Those little ranch cups are expensive imo! I buy the little 2oz Dixie cups with lids from Amazon or target and the big ranch at Costco. Super cost effective and still disposable. Love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.
You have inspired me! I get up at 5:00am now to prep food for the day. Such a time saver on busy evenings and we are only a family of 4 (for now). We are in the process of getting our fostering license.
I'm sure this has been asked before, so forgive me, but have you asked Wegman's if they will sell you cases of items for easier loading/unloading - possible cost savings too? I love watching your shopping videos. They're so cathartic!
Hi Alicia! Love your grocery haul as always. Wonderful you can get the children their favorite foods, snacks,and drinks. You sure do deserve your caramel iced coffees all the hard work you do. Have a wonderful week with Josh and your children.
You know you're a real fan when you can pinpoint items on your list before you say anything, lol. And I'm over here wondering where the olives are for Nana! Lol.
I am Portuguese and can tell you that one can of sardines is usually the portion for one person. Not much in those cans. To accompany the sardines, grill peppers on bbq and take out the skin and add olive oil and boil potatoes to accompany the sardines.
Try a smore bake. Chocolate on the bottom of a baking pan. Marshmallows on top. Bake in oven until Chocolate melted and Marshmallows toasted. Scoop out with Graham crackers.
⚠️⚠️Question!! ⚠️⚠️ When leaving full carts up front, do you let the staff know why you’re leaving them there? Have you ever had anyone try and move or put your cart/items away? Or do they know you by now and your huge hauls you regularly do? I just wonder where you find room to stash them, what time of day you find is best to shop and do you always do it alone? I hope you see this, I’ve been wondering this for awhile now! I have Ehlers-Danlos and live in a lot of chronic pain and perpetual exhaustion so your energy and what you do daily makes you a hero in my eyes. When we went to Portugal, we regularly dined late at night (we did the Mediterranean style of dining they do in Spain and Italy where you eat at 9 or 10pm) and were staying in the Algarve, right on the coast, so we had a lot of lovely fresh seafood! So I’m curious to see what you make for your Portuguese meal! ❤️❤️❤️
I came across your channel this past week and have been excited to see another large family! I’m intrigued to learn how you manage your day to day tasks and how you get everyone to be involved in keeping the house as a community and having the responsibility to help out. You do have older children than we do, our oldest just turned 10, but we are constantly looking to improve our methods! We have 7 children (so half of your family) but there have been many times I have felt like you st the grocery store with multiple carts! One question pertaining to this video, how did your family manage covid with the food restrictions from grocery stores? I had to shop more frequently than typical because of the restrictions when they were trying to keep less people in the stores…have an enjoyable day and thank you for sharing your family with all of us!
Your shopping trips are the best, I love how you get everyone’s favourite, I’m not into forcing kids to eat what they don’t like I wouldn’t, it’s all about pleasing everyone 🌸🤍🌸🤍
I became so excited when I heard you were doing Portugal food for around the world monday 😍 because I am Portuguese, never thought you would do Portugal ahah! Much love from here ❤️
You are an amazing mother I wish I could give you a hug I admire how wonderful you take care of your kids and try to meet the needs of each and everyone as well as your hubby. You need to do a video where you have a pamper day you deserve it hon.
I always seemed to work as a cashier at grocery stores. I would love customers like her cause its 1 person and organized when putting stuff on the belt. I liked customers like her lol I would always wanna ring her up 😂 I'm so foreal
Shredded cabbage , julienne carrots , red peppers, seedless cucumber , zest of limes(2) , juice of limes , rice wine vinegar , honey tbsp to taste , Chiffanade of mint & cilantro. Salt & pepper to taste. Chill at least 1 hr. Enjoy.
An excellent way to save space and keep broth of hand, plus MUCH tastier is a product called *Better Than Bouillon* It should be available near the seasonings or broths where you’d find those little dried cubes - it’s a broth concentrate and you can choose chicken, beef or vegetable. Put in your fridge and good to go! 👍🏻
Oh gosh that made me laugh, sunblock tasting coffee! My kids and I love watching the grocery vlogs, we so want to do a US grocery shop one day, were in the UK :)
Question. If let's say you bought lettuce to go with a planned dinner on a Thursday, and you bought this on Monday morning. How do you keep the kiddos from not grabbing anything. Like in highschool during the summer I made a lot of salads and stuff with left over chicken. And I've use cucumber and tomatoes and sometimes my mom would laugh because she was planning on using the lettuce or the cucumber for something like a pasta salad or for taco salad. And we have to change the dinner plan because me and my siblings would just eat it lol . How do you stick to your meal plan with 10 children? I'm curious because i would like to be a foster parent one day.
I’d like to know what josh does for a living, it’s really wonderful to see how y’all are so willing to give everything you have to these children , it’s a light of hope and goodness we need to see
Every morning the "But first...coffee!" should be my motto because most of the time I can be spotted in the Dunkin drive-thru getting my daily iced coffee on the way to work~
Have you ever thought of getting the check out staff to do your trolleys as you go and suspend the sale while you do another trolley load? You could just make sure that your frozen stuff is at the end
You rock girl. How do you do all that you do. I know one thing your love for these babies show loud and clear and all of them seem to love you right back .how in the world can you afford everything you buy at the grocery stores and all the extras u buy for these kids .just curious because you spend sooooooo much money and time . Girl you will be rewarded one day when you enter Gods kingdom for what you are doing for these kids .you warm my heart thru every video I watch .I watched your laundry food video I held my breath you had so much to do .I dont know how in this world u do it all .blessings to your happy beautiful family. I used to be a foster mom in my younger days and I could not believe what these children had gone thru I had .God love you and bless you all.
I have been sick in bed since Saturday, but your grocery hauls are so relaxing 😌. It's getting me ready when I got shopping I'm about out of everything and my son is going through a growth spurt and eats nonstop 🤦🏻♀️🤣😂😅 plus he's starting summer camp and needs snacks etc. It's just the two of us, but I feel like I'm feeding about 5 more of my son. You're awesome at getting what and remembering what every kid wants. I go in the grocery store, and forget half of what I needed, lol. Keep up the great work mama Dougherty 💕. (My son the other day sprayed sunscreen directly in my can of sparkling water it's a mom thing with kids 🤣😂😅)
@@DoughertyDozen if you're up to it have each kid make an individual s'mores pie 😁. They're sooo good, and just the right amount. Get mini pie crusts, marshmallows, chocolate of your choice. Layer the bottom of the pie crust with the marshmallows then top with chocolate. Bake 350 for 8 minutes. Mini marshmallows and mini chocolate 🍫
I love Ur videos I look forward to watching them. I often find myself just typing your name into the UA-cam search, to see if there's videos I haven't watched. And was AMAZED to see the internet thugs have started on you. I wish we lived in a world where nice is the way. It saddens me to see someone whose doing her absolute best be targeted like you have. Please don't let them stop you from doing this or being as awesome as you are. It takes special people not only to open they're house to disadvantaged children but you also gotta be selfless too. You literally amaze me I have 2 kids 1 on the spectrum and I thought my life was hard. Turns out I was a sook 🤷♀️🤣
How do you keep your ice cream from melting with so many carts to check out and load up? Just wondering. I live in florida.i go for 10 items and mine is soft by the time I get home
I love ur grocery halls!! I love to see what y’all get and eat in a week! Love it!!😘☺️❤️ Wait, also do u use fetch rewards or a reward system to scan ur receipts?? If not do it! Bc u can get discounts off of ur regular groceries! Hopefully u have it! Love u! ❤️❤️
She said in another video that she does but sometimes people take screenshots of her receipts and upload them to their own fetch accounts before she can lol
Another watermelon tip ! In case you get a bad one you can always make an agua fresca Just blend the watermelon Then add water and sugar to your liking ! It’s always a life saver whenever I get a bad one :)
I was out shopping at Wal-Mart the other day and in the section of the store where they have the Goya brand products I totally thought of you because they had some fun unique soda flavors that seemed like they would be fun additions to try for your float challenges.
You shop with such ease. Shopping stresses me out. I love your around the world Mondays. I always just cook my kids the same things...but I love how they are introduced to new foods.
Hello from Wisconsin. I am so proud of you and your pantry room. May I make a suggestion? Please look into some type of covering for your windows as it will aid in protecting the freshness of your products. I was thinking, even if you did the diffused light window decals on your door. Like in bath room windows. It would still give you light but diffused. So it appears that this pantry is in the garage right? I believe I see in the background the garage door sometimes open. Maybe I am wrong. So, my concern is with the massive heat waves we have been experiencing is the garage temp controlled? Also in winter the extreme cold. Please don't take this other than curiosity and general concern for your pantry. I also think it would be neat to come up with a name for your pantry. Like maybe you come up with a theme for your pantry. Ex. Picnic (checkered curtains for that big window or bamboo type blinds, maybe hanging plants even fake for the nature part etc. I don't know maybe you want it to be bright and fun and quarky. A metal sunflower 🌻on the wall and a dragonfly hanging from the ceiling. Maybe fairy lights and tags on the shelves the kids paint in fun colors. Then depending on what you pick or choose for your theme maybe y'all pick a name or maybe you open it up to suggestions from your followers. I don't know it's just a fun thought. Either way your pantry is looking great. Can't wait to see the tour.
Thank you for putting up your haul, it makes me happy shopping with you on here....lol Don't listen to the haters, I feel sorry for them !!! Because YOU are enough, you are loved and you're doing exactly what you're meant to be doing !!! Love you girl !!!
So glad you saved the frozen stuff for last. I always think “hurry, the ice cream is melting!” 😂 Thank you for doing these videos. I think everyone finds them fun and relaxing. 👍
You happened to mention around the world Monday, and then shortly after around 4:50 I heard roam by the b-52's in the background. I thought, oh the dougherty's are roaming around the world! Now I have that song stuck in my head LOL!
I didn’t realize until seeing your UA-cam short that these are your rainbow children 🥲 that’s beautiful and it makes my heart squeeze with love knowing they bless your life just as much as you bless theirs ♥️
How are you able to financially provide for your family of 14? I just started watching in the last month. God bless you for taking great care of all these children.
I also like to shop alone sometime. (Its me time). And fun fact, I like talking to myself while shopping (thinking out loud) while choosing grocery items. Seeing this video really reminds me of myself 🤣
However much I enjoy watching people buy groceries nobody needs to eat that much canned and procesed food. Too much salt and preservatives are used to keep these kinds of foods for a loooong time. Just think about it, these chemicals are meant to prevent food to break down in smaller molecules. That is exactly what our digestive system does. I'm no doctor or nutritionist but if the food you eat is less than 50% fresh, not canned or processed, I don't know if you can call that good nutrition. In a couple of videos I've heard her complain of lack of sleep and one of the children with inexplicable energy dips. I hate to pontificate but you are built out of what you eat. Not just our bodies but our minds and souls as well. If you are anxious and waking up at night startled and in the middle of the day you don't have the energy to do nothing.... Maybe just maybe change what you eat. It is amazing how our bodies respond to clean food and less junk. Hard to change the things that you are comfortable with specially with a family that big but a simple change can have a big impact. Instead of three carts of canned goods one maybe? More bags of green leafs? Soda or chips not both? 🤷♀️
@@terrylynn9984 even more reason to cut down sugars and processed food. These foods create sugar spikes in our bloodstream that lead to mood swings that trigger depression and anxiety.
I'm disabled and can't grocery shop anymore. 💐🥰 I place an order for someone to pick up at Walmart for me. 💐 So I LOVE 🥰 the Dougherty dozen shopping trips. It lets me see what I can't see anymore. 💜💚💙
Tinned sardines or pilchards are much nicer in the tomato sauce. Drain a little sauce out .mash fish with salt pepper and vinegar to taste ...serve on warm buttered toast...yum
You're amazing! Watching your weekly grocery shopping, tires me out.,and I just sit and watch.😱 I almost need a nap! You and Josh truly have been blessed with such a loving family.
Hi ALICIA HAPPY MONDAY!!!🤗🤗I LOVE YOUR SHOPPING TRIPS U KNOW WHAT EACH &EVERY KIDS WANTS YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!BTW YOUR NAILS LOOK AWESOME WITH THE FRENCH TIPS I REALLY LIKE IT AND I SAID B4 YOUR HAIR LOOKS FANTASTIC STRAIGHT!!!!!THANKS 4 THE VIDEO AND ENJOY YOUR COFFEE 👍👍❤LOL CANT WAIT TO SEE THE NEXT VIDEO!!!!LOVE U GUYS !!!!!!👍🤗❤🥰😍🤩💋💕💙
@@DoughertyDozen I LOVE WATCHING U &THE KIDS ,YOUR KIDS ARE SUCH GORGEOUS AND GENUINELY NICE KIDS!!!,AND THATS BC THEY HAVE AN AMAZING, OUTSTANDING, LOVING,PHENOMENAL MOM&DAD!!!!!!!!LOVE U &THE KIDS ,YOU GUYS MAKE MY DAY !!!!!!👍👍💥💥🤩😍🥰🤗💕💙❤
Please make a video of how you handle all the looks and questions you may get when your shopping. We are a family of 6 sometimes I only have one buggy full. An I still get looks and comments. Its mentally draining and puts me down.
You make me feel like I can accomplish anything. You motivate me and your videos make my day. Love watching while I cook and eat breakfast, you are great company ❤️
With the green apples (or any apple you like), I core the center, slice them in a circle. Whip dry, spread peanut butter on them, them sprinkle with mini chocolate chips, and fresh shredded coconut. It is amazing!!
If you could someday with one of these big hauls. Video the check out process of everything being put up on the belt, scanned, bagged, and loaded into the car. Bring and extra person with you that day for help. That would be awesome to watch.
it saddens me that she isn't teaching her children how important their health is and teaching them healthy eating habits. She just wants them to like her
@@jamiroquai30 a few of her kids are autistic and have food aversions so it's not always so easy to say to them eat this bc it's healthier. believe me... i have an autistic child myself who i try my best to eat healthy and he will starve himself if i dont give in 😒 but i do agree that's a lot of sodium and sugar in those canned soups/veggies, chips and sodas.
@@jamiroquai30 it seems like this channel upsets you. Maybe you can choose to take it out of your life and remove a bit of discomfort for your well-being
I really love you and your family. My day is not complete without watching your daily update. Just recently discovered your channel through instagram, I think a month ago, and ever since, I enjoyed watching your videos and reels. You are such an inspiring mother and person. Keep it up and godbless you.
First of all i love your videos and your family!!!! Second i saw the price for the octopus and in Greece the octopus is sooo expensive,for what you got the price here would be at least double!!and we make it here with small macaroni and wine and red sause in the pot or glazed octopus with wine and vinegar and oregano as a starter.delicious!!!!!We have so so many delicious foods and recipes!i'm hungry now!😀😀❤️❤️❤️❤️
Instead of hiding the soda, you could always get the big bottles sodas for the float challenges and then get small cans or bottle sodas for them to drink for the week.
I am in foster care right now … and soon to be adopted .. I have been in foster care since I was 13 I am 15 now … your positive reminders and just everything you say helps me a lot … it’s feels so good to see that there are other kids in this world going threw what I am … it makes me happy seeing a big happy family like yours ❤️thank you
Good luck and happiness for your future
Congrats on starting a New Beginning in a life. Thank you for your kind words.
Good luck and congrats!!!
Your name is Grace for a reason. I wish the best for you. May God bless you and your family.
So happy for you! You are loved❤
Please never stop doing these grocey hauls 🦋 As a European it's so interesting to see what kind of things your stores carry😍 I am addicted..
Please don't think all Americans eat this much processed junk.
Indeed, also for me its so interesting, i work in a supermarket and i am from belgium 🌸
I agree. It is interesting.
@@RVLOGRIFFS I assume a lot of americans eat this way otherwise these stores wouldn’t be stacked with such products.
@@gondolin12 I guess. But not all of us. We also have whole ingredients.
Seeing you think about and remember what each of your kids like really lifts my mood. Its so lovely to see how much you care about these kids!
I will never complain of grocery shopping again. Wow, you are so organized! I also love your idea of making an “around the world” dinner every week. Such a great way to introduce new foods….I’m going to try that with my family. Have a good week!

Take your time, many prayers
Grocery pickup is wonderful when you can't manage to shop yourself also try going really early in the morning when the store first opens.
I’m so sorry that must be awful :(
If it ever gets to hard depends on where you live you can get your groceries delivered to your house
Hope that helps
Hey that's ok...take your time. Be who you are.
I still get nervous at times and I'm 55 💛💛

You should find out if your grocery store has a case sale. Then you can stock up on some of the things you always get and save a little money.
Sunblock coffee is the most mom drink I've ever heard of. 😅 Happy Monday, Dougherty Fam!

You should maybe try a chest camera harness for when you shop so you have two hands free. That may help make it a bit faster and easier for you.
I love your shopping!!! Lol I’m a chef and it just makes me think of inventory day every time but on another level lol I love it! Keep being great ❤️
Lol yes😂
THANK YOU FOR POSTING! Love your videos and always look forward to them!
😁😁😁
Oh gosh that made me laugh, sunblock tasting coffee! My kids and I love watching the grocery vlogs, we so want to do a US grocery shop one day, were in the UK :)
The taste is still in my mouth 😂😂
Question. If let's say you bought lettuce to go with a planned dinner on a Thursday, and you bought this on Monday morning. How do you keep the kiddos from not grabbing anything. Like in highschool during the summer I made a lot of salads and stuff with left over chicken. And I've use cucumber and tomatoes and sometimes my mom would laugh because she was planning on using the lettuce or the cucumber for something like a pasta salad or for taco salad. And we have to change the dinner plan because me and my siblings would just eat it lol . How do you stick to your meal plan with 10 children? I'm curious because i would like to be a foster parent one day.
Whew😅 I need a nap!!
You my dear, are simply amazing!!
God bless you and your family!🙏🏻🥰
I’d like to know what josh does for a living, it’s really wonderful to see how y’all are so willing to give everything you have to these children , it’s a light of hope and goodness we need to see
He's a teacher and coach
They don't live on one salary alone. People who take in foster children get quite a bit of money from the government for each child.
@@evac.7762 not after they adopt them they don’t , these kids are officially adopted and therefore they do not receive govt help
Every morning the "But first...coffee!" should be my motto because most of the time I can be spotted in the Dunkin drive-thru getting my daily iced coffee on the way to work~

Have you ever thought of getting the check out staff to do your trolleys as you go and suspend the sale while you do another trolley load? You could just make sure that your frozen stuff is at the end
You rock girl. How do you do all that you do. I know one thing your love for these babies show loud and clear and all of them seem to love you right back .how in the world can you afford everything you buy at the grocery stores and all the extras u buy for these kids .just curious because you spend sooooooo much money and time . Girl you will be rewarded one day when you enter Gods kingdom for what you are doing for these kids .you warm my heart thru every video I watch .I watched your laundry food video I held my breath you had so much to do .I dont know how in this world u do it all .blessings to your happy beautiful family. I used to be a foster mom in my younger days and I could not believe what these children had gone thru I had .God love you and bless you all.
Thanks.

22:25 What?! OMG! Now I'm excited for around the world monday with food from Portugal. I'm from Purtugal and that makes me very happy 🥰💖
I have been sick in bed since Saturday, but your grocery hauls are so relaxing 😌. It's getting me ready when I got shopping I'm about out of everything and my son is going through a growth spurt and eats nonstop 🤦🏻♀️🤣😂😅 plus he's starting summer camp and needs snacks etc. It's just the two of us, but I feel like I'm feeding about 5 more of my son. You're awesome at getting what and remembering what every kid wants. I go in the grocery store, and forget half of what I needed, lol. Keep up the great work mama Dougherty 💕. (My son the other day sprayed sunscreen directly in my can of sparkling water it's a mom thing with kids 🤣😂😅)
Thank you 🧡🧡🧡
@@DoughertyDozen if you're up to it have each kid make an individual s'mores pie 😁. They're sooo good, and just the right amount. Get mini pie crusts, marshmallows, chocolate of your choice. Layer the bottom of the pie crust with the marshmallows then top with chocolate. Bake 350 for 8 minutes. Mini marshmallows and mini chocolate 🍫
My nana passed away at 63 who also was a foster mom for many years. This gives me so much comfort watching you and your family. 💜
💙💙💙
I love Ur videos I look forward to watching them. I often find myself just typing your name into the UA-cam search, to see if there's videos I haven't watched. And was AMAZED to see the internet thugs have started on you. I wish we lived in a world where nice is the way. It saddens me to see someone whose doing her absolute best be targeted like you have. Please don't let them stop you from doing this or being as awesome as you are. It takes special people not only to open they're house to disadvantaged children but you also gotta be selfless too. You literally amaze me I have 2 kids 1 on the spectrum and I thought my life was hard. Turns out I was a sook 🤷♀️🤣
I meant to say to you that I love that you're Christian and you go to church on Sunday what an inspiration you are to a lot of people
How do you keep your ice cream from melting with so many carts to check out and load up? Just wondering. I live in florida.i go for 10 items and mine is soft by the time I get home
I love ur grocery halls!! I love to see what y’all get and eat in a week! Love it!!😘☺️❤️
Wait, also do u use fetch rewards or a reward system to scan ur receipts?? If not do it! Bc u can get discounts off of ur regular groceries! Hopefully u have it! Love u! ❤️❤️
Yes I use Fetch!
@@DoughertyDozen YAYYY THATS SO AMAZING! UR MY FAVORITE UA-camR! ❤️❤️❤️
She said in another video that she does but sometimes people take screenshots of her receipts and upload them to their own fetch accounts before she can lol
@@Jenny-bz1uc Oh wow, ppl suck now a dayssss
Another watermelon tip !
In case you get a bad one you can always make an agua fresca
Just blend the watermelon
Then add water and sugar to your liking !
It’s always a life saver whenever I get a bad one :)
I was out shopping at Wal-Mart the other day and in the section of the store where they have the Goya brand products I totally thought of you because they had some fun unique soda flavors that seemed like they would be fun additions to try for your float challenges.
You shop with such ease. Shopping stresses me out. I love your around the world Mondays. I always just cook my kids the same things...but I love how they are introduced to new foods.
Also, some people might find this rude but I don’t mean to be rude, how do you financially handle 12/10 kids
Hello from Wisconsin. I am so proud of you and your pantry room. May I make a suggestion? Please look into some type of covering for your windows as it will aid in protecting the freshness of your products. I was thinking, even if you did the diffused light window decals on your door. Like in bath room windows. It would still give you light but diffused. So it appears that this pantry is in the garage right? I believe I see in the background the garage door sometimes open. Maybe I am wrong. So, my concern is with the massive heat waves we have been experiencing is the garage temp controlled? Also in winter the extreme cold. Please don't take this other than curiosity and general concern for your pantry. I also think it would be neat to come up with a name for your pantry. Like maybe you come up with a theme for your pantry. Ex. Picnic (checkered curtains for that big window or bamboo type blinds, maybe hanging plants even fake for the nature part etc. I don't know maybe you want it to be bright and fun and quarky. A metal sunflower 🌻on the wall and a dragonfly hanging from the ceiling. Maybe fairy lights and tags on the shelves the kids paint in fun colors. Then depending on what you pick or choose for your theme maybe y'all pick a name or maybe you open it up to suggestions from your followers. I don't know it's just a fun thought. Either way your pantry is looking great. Can't wait to see the tour.
I love how you get them all the cereal they like instead of getting one type for them all to share
Hi hi just wanted to say your eyes are super beautiful and I think it's wonderful what you're doing for these kids!
I love your vids Im ready for y’all to hit 1 million this year!! 🙏🏽💖
More than halfway there!!! 🧡🧡🧡
I wish we had Wegmans in Indiana!! You have alot of things to choose from and we'll stocked. Shelves here are still bare.
Wegmans is my favorite! 🧡🧡🧡
I’m in Richmond and shelves are sparse at times. I just switched to Aldi because I was spending a fortune at Walmart.
Thank you for putting up your haul, it makes me happy shopping with you on here....lol
Don't listen to the haters, I feel sorry for them !!! Because YOU are enough, you are loved and you're doing exactly what you're meant to be doing !!! Love you girl !!!
Thank you 🥰🥰
So glad you saved the frozen stuff for last. I always think “hurry, the ice cream is melting!” 😂 Thank you for doing these videos. I think everyone finds them fun and relaxing. 👍
You happened to mention around the world Monday, and then shortly after around 4:50 I heard roam by the b-52's in the background. I thought, oh the dougherty's are roaming around the world! Now I have that song stuck in my head LOL!
Haha, you're welcome 🧡🧡🧡
As always, a great haul and reminds me what I forgot on my list!
Haha, glad we could help remind you 🧡🧡🧡
You need to look in the fish aisle for fresh sardines which are then grilled in Portugal. Much larger and better than the processed ones in tins.
No idea why but watching your grocery hauls makes me happy. Looking forward to the food storage video ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊😁🛒🇨🇦
They are so soothing!
I didn’t realize until seeing your UA-cam short that these are your rainbow children 🥲 that’s beautiful and it makes my heart squeeze with love knowing they bless your life just as much as you bless theirs ♥️
How are you able to financially provide for your family of 14? I just started watching in the last month. God bless you for taking great care of all these children.
I also like to shop alone sometime. (Its me time). And fun fact, I like talking to myself while shopping (thinking out loud) while choosing grocery items. Seeing this video really reminds me of myself 🤣
However much I enjoy watching people buy groceries nobody needs to eat that much canned and procesed food. Too much salt and preservatives are used to keep these kinds of foods for a loooong time. Just think about it, these chemicals are meant to prevent food to break down in smaller molecules. That is exactly what our digestive system does. I'm no doctor or nutritionist but if the food you eat is less than 50% fresh, not canned or processed, I don't know if you can call that good nutrition. In a couple of videos I've heard her complain of lack of sleep and one of the children with inexplicable energy dips. I hate to pontificate but you are built out of what you eat. Not just our bodies but our minds and souls as well. If you are anxious and waking up at night startled and in the middle of the day you don't have the energy to do nothing.... Maybe just maybe change what you eat. It is amazing how our bodies respond to clean food and less junk. Hard to change the things that you are comfortable with specially with a family that big but a simple change can have a big impact. Instead of three carts of canned goods one maybe? More bags of green leafs? Soda or chips not both? 🤷♀️
@@terrylynn9984 even more reason to cut down sugars and processed food. These foods create sugar spikes in our bloodstream that lead to mood swings that trigger depression and anxiety.
I'm disabled and can't grocery shop anymore. 💐🥰 I place an order for someone to pick up at Walmart for me. 💐
So I LOVE 🥰 the Dougherty dozen shopping trips. It lets me see what I can't see anymore. 💜💚💙
I love watching your videos. The message you send is so positive and extremely heart warming!!!!
Thank you so much!🧡🧡🧡
Tinned sardines or pilchards are much nicer in the tomato sauce. Drain a little sauce out .mash fish with salt pepper and vinegar to taste ...serve on warm buttered toast...yum
You're amazing! Watching your weekly grocery shopping, tires me out.,and I just sit and watch.😱 I almost need a nap! You and Josh truly have been blessed with such a loving family.
Thank You 🧡🧡🧡
at 25:51 when you dropped the klondike icecreams did you get a new one or buy the one that you dropped? love the videos xxxx

Do you stick to a budget for your groceries at all? Your food and meal plan always looks so delicious!
Sunblock coffee means momma can have a Dunkin’s coffee when she’s done shopping!!
Haha, yes gotta wash that taste out of my mouth 🧡🧡🧡
👍 brilliant idea 😂☮️
Please make a video of how you handle all the looks and questions you may get when your shopping. We are a family of 6 sometimes I only have one buggy full. An I still get looks and comments. Its mentally draining and puts me down.
You make me feel like I can accomplish anything. You motivate me and your videos make my day. Love watching while I cook and eat breakfast, you are great company ❤️
With the green apples (or any apple you like), I core the center, slice them in a circle. Whip dry, spread peanut butter on them, them sprinkle with mini chocolate chips, and fresh shredded coconut. It is amazing!!
OMG..thanks for this I'll be trying that this weekend
I love your grocery hauls! So fun to watch and gives me more ideas for things to try.
If you could someday with one of these big hauls. Video the check out process of everything being put up on the belt, scanned, bagged, and loaded into the car. Bring and extra person with you that day for help. That would be awesome to watch.
Its refreshing to see a family eat realistically and not always eat insanely healthy. Thank you for the wholesome content.
it saddens me that she isn't teaching her children how important their health is and teaching them healthy eating habits. She just wants them to like her
@@katherinegruber499 what would be the first changes towards healthier foods that you would suggest?
@@jamiroquai30 a few of her kids are autistic and have food aversions so it's not always so easy to say to them eat this bc it's healthier. believe me... i have an autistic child myself who i try my best to eat healthy and he will starve himself if i dont give in 😒 but i do agree that's a lot of sodium and sugar in those canned soups/veggies, chips and sodas.
The fact that she is a mom of 12 this is healthier than crap served at any school and she actually cooks and packs lunches she is a boss
@@jamiroquai30 it seems like this channel upsets you. Maybe you can choose to take it out of your life and remove a bit of discomfort for your well-being
I really love you and your family. My day is not complete without watching your daily update. Just recently discovered your channel through instagram, I think a month ago, and ever since, I enjoyed watching your videos and reels. You are such an inspiring mother and person. Keep it up and godbless you.
LOVE ALSO HOW SHE GETS SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS FOR EVERYONE JUST WONDERFUL ☺️
First of all i love your videos and your family!!!! Second i saw the price for the octopus and in Greece the octopus is sooo expensive,for what you got the price here would be at least double!!and we make it here with small macaroni and wine and red sause in the pot or glazed octopus with wine and vinegar and oregano as a starter.delicious!!!!!We have so so many delicious foods and recipes!i'm hungry now!😀😀❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love your channel. Your a great inspiration for me and many people! I love y’all!
Instead of hiding the soda, you could always get the big bottles sodas for the float challenges and then get small cans or bottle sodas for them to drink for the week.
I’d love to see an updated pantry tour!!
Have you thought about extreme couponing? It may save you a bunch of money and I know you guys need everything in large supplies.
I've been watching your videos for about a week now and I feel like your family I always like to see what you guys are up to
🧡🧡🧡
New subscriber here from England.I must say,you’re amazing! I’ve never seen anyone shop in this way in the U.K. That is a crazy amount of food.👍🇬🇧
Wow !!! Those beautiful kids are really lucky kids to have amazing parents!!!
