      It's just my husband and I but I do like to prep. He's a vegetarian from India, I'm a Midwest girl so we eat totally differently lol. Also, on these big hauls, if I have extra on hand then I know I can help others who may be having a hard time. Either by donating to them or making them a meal. During this pandemic we've even given toilet paper to people who couldn't get any from the stores. Now every time we go to Costco I grab a pack just for that reason. Yes, I have four big packs but my kids and/or neighbors won't be without if another shortage happens lol.

    A Costco manager in Austin, Texas told me that one of the goals of Costco is to keep families out of their store. They want you to shop once a month or once every two weeks and spend the rest of the time with your family. That really put their big sizes in perspective for me.

    As someone who lives in a rural area where delivery isn’t a thing, heavy snows 8 months of the year & the closest Costco is 3hrs away: we do perishables in town(30mins away) but we only do day trips to Costco almost 3x a year and I’m dropping almost 2grand of 3 FULL carts to stock up for 6 months for non perishables. I feel you on the wierd looks people give you but when you have kids and you wanna avoid stores as much as humanly possible, you do what you gotta do🖤 I hate grocery shopping personally so I’ve always done huge hauls at a time😆

    Edit: Woah! That was a lot of likes haha, thanks everyone! If you want breakdowns on other videos feel free to tag me 😊
    So for anyone wondering how this is cost effective here is the breakdown:
    $3,700 dollars for on average 5 months of food
    Her family has 7 members
    $3,700 divided by 5 is $740 per month.
    That means each member of her family eats for about $105 a month, or if you're going by weeks $26 dollars a week or $3.77 per day per family member. This is extremely cost effective and smart.

      This lady mentioned freezer meals and it's quite possible to really think it through and have your meal ready to heat up when you get back home. Or even have a slow cooker meal prepped the night before and cooking throughout your shopping day. Anytime there's a challenging full-on day or week coming up, cooking & prepping food in advance is such a great help. Anything to help manage exhausting challenges, it's worth it all to be shopped up for six months :)

    Fantastic haul but I’m so exhausted for you. You have a lot of work ahead of you. Wish I could give you a hand....
    I don’t know why people have to be so cruel and negative. When you beak your haul down, $125.00 a week for a family of 7 is wonderful.I watch Tiffany over at Large Family Love and she does a budget of $400 to $600 monthly w a family of 7. I think you both are amazing.
    So pay no heed to those who can’t say anything nice.
    Take it easy and God bless you n your family.

    Wow!!! THANK YOU 4 not just sharing your groceries, but also ideas upon what to do wit it. And the prices on some of them. And as far as you doing a big haul, hey you do you. I don't like shopping in the cold either. I know Michigan gets really cold. 😇

    I completely understand the need to do this especially with all those kids! My only suggestion is if you’re gonna spend all that money on ziplock bags every time it would be more cost effective just to invest in Stasher bags, plus so much better for the environment 😊

    I'm a elderly person and every September I have my list to stock up for winter. About 3 years ago we had minus 45 Celsius for just over 3 weeks. People were complaining that they had to go for groceries while l stayed home and kept warm. I would have shared if it was needed

    This is the first video I've seen from your channel and I loved it. I admire your ability to plan ahead and you are very good at keeping your costs down while feeding your family good quality food. I understand that covid brought about food item limits but there should be exceptions for bigger families. Considering that you made good choices for alternative items and brands. I'm looking forward to watching your other videos. Xx
