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
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!!!❤🙂😊
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
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.
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 🧡
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!
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🥰
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❤️❤️❤️
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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 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.
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.
⚠️⚠️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! ❤️❤️❤️
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 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!
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’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
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
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! 👍🏻
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.
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 🌸🤍🌸🤍
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
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 ❤️
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
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.
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.
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 :)
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.
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~
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 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
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 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.
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!!
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.
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
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 :)
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 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 !!!
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 ♥️
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 🤷♀️🤣
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 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 ❤️
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.
my husband was woundering to why i make my grocery list (walmart) in sections of the store (organized ) but he seen me watch ur video and said oh i know u watch her lol i said makes sense and easier.
I only shop for my boyfriend and I, the groceries are small enough that we can bring them home in our backpacks and even I organise my shopping list by the shop layout 😅 I always forget something if I don't do it that way!
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❤

Literally, I’m here all annoyed cause i gotta do grocery shopping for me and my bf

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!
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.
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.
So glad we can be an inspiration for you! You'll be a great foster mom someday 🧡🧡🧡
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 ❤️
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 💛💛
Who else watched a video of the Dougherty dozen and just watches them everyday now
Thank You 🧡🧡🧡

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.
This mama is a boss !!! Shopping alone without 12 kids is a vacation in itself lol

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

Ooh a 5 Carter! I think it's awesome y'all do "around the world" meals!! But I must say I know I couldn't handle sardines or octopus 😆
Big one this week! 🧡🧡🧡
I hope we get a short about cooking the octopus and the kids' reactions 🤣
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

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 🥰💖
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.

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.

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.
Also, some people might find this rude but I don’t mean to be rude, how do you financially handle 12/10 kids
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 🌸🤍🌸🤍
As always, a great haul and reminds me what I forgot on my list!
Haha, glad we could help remind you 🧡🧡🧡
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
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 ❤️
It's my dream to go to Portugal and eat a lot of pasteis de nata. They seems delicious
Portugal caralho!!!
When ever you go to get any kind of milk, always get it from the back. The freshest milk is always put in the back of the milk rack
Hey Dougherty dozen , the clerk must be so tired after registering all of those groceries, haha 😂 love your channel!
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
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.
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.
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.
I love your vids Im ready for y’all to hit 1 million this year!! 🙏🏽💖
More than halfway there!!! 🧡🧡🧡
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 love how you get them all the cereal they like instead of getting one type for them all to share
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 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😂
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.
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~
🧡🧡🧡
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 🍫
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
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
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 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.
I’d love to see an updated pantry tour!!
I love watching your videos. The message you send is so positive and extremely heart warming!!!!
Thank you so much!🧡🧡🧡
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. 💜
💙💙💙
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
No idea why but watching your grocery hauls makes me happy. Looking forward to the food storage video ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊😁🛒🇨🇦
They are so soothing!
Do you stick to a budget for your groceries at all? Your food and meal plan always looks so delicious!
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 🧡🧡🧡
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
Wow !!! Those beautiful kids are really lucky kids to have amazing parents!!!
🧡🧡🧡
God, I have such a hard time trying to take care of myself, I have no idea how the amazing lady, mother, wonder woman doea it all. ❤️
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 😂😂
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 your videos you’re such an amazing mom!💜
🧡🧡🧡
Considering the amount of processed foods she buys why does not she have any coupons? Thought that was a big thing in America.
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 😂☮️
LOVE ALSO HOW SHE GETS SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS FOR EVERYONE JUST WONDERFUL ☺️
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 🥰🥰
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 ♥️
Hi from Portugal! We use fresh sardines, we cook it with potatos and eat it with corn bread
🧡🧡🧡
Why don't you safe your cold things for the last cart?
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
🧡🧡🧡
Tysm this is therapeutic, I really appreciate it 🤍
and I'm already overwhelmed when I go grocery shopping for myself 🙈😄
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 love your channel. Your a great inspiration for me and many people! I love y’all!
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. 👍
I love your grocery hauls! So fun to watch and gives me more ideas for things to try.
I wish I had the energy and zest that she has for life.🙏💕
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 ❤️
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.
my husband was woundering to why i make my grocery list (walmart) in sections of the store (organized ) but he seen me watch ur video and said oh i know u watch her lol i said makes sense and easier.
Right! 🧡🧡🧡
I only shop for my boyfriend and I, the groceries are small enough that we can bring them home in our backpacks and even I organise my shopping list by the shop layout 😅 I always forget something if I don't do it that way!
Albacore tuna is pretty high in mercury - maybe switch to light tuna if they're eating it every day? Just a suggestion! :-)
your videos make people feel relaxed and entertained keep going your videos are beautiful ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much!! 🧡🧡🧡
