So many negative messages, if you don't like it, why do you watch? I have only a family of 4, but I stock up on everything. With the economy and possible natural disasters you should always have at least a months worth of food for your family.
Well if you wait an hour or so there are really no negative messages anymore, assuming they get blocked, which makes it a much more positive comment section again! I mean, might as well just keep the good ones around, makes u feel pretty good all in all.

I always keep a year supply of food in the pantry and freezer at all times. When storms, pandemics , etc.. hit. We only have to stock up on the essentials. My family is a lot smaller.

I am single mom. I am glad that I have family around to help me. At times I have a hard time with money. I try my best. To give my daughter the best I can. My car is getting looked at in the shop. Hoping it's nothing big. Also, I do my best in what I have. I am responsible. But we are fall short at times.
The trolley thing is called a flat top. I am the master of running them into absolutely EVERYTHING at work 👍 I can move an entire pallet taller than I am through a busy store without knocking a single thing, but a flat top I can ram into every single thing I pass.
Try blt salad!! Bowtie pasta, mayo, bacon, romaine and tomatoes. Dice veggies. Cook pasta. Drain pasta and run cold water over to cool just a bit and put in bowl. Add veggies and mayo, mix, and refrigerate it! ( I like some onion in mine) some like a lil miracle whip mixed in as well for some tang.
Pork Butt isn't a pig's butt, it's the shoulder. They called it that because back in colonial times they packed them, they would "butt" them up really close together in barrels. (this is one of the useless bits of information I know, being a farmer. I knew it would come in handy someday! lol) The big's butt is always ham. 🐖
No, Pork Butt is from the shoulder, not from the butt. Their butt, is where the Ham comes from. I was in meat processing for 30 years. That’s how I know.
It’s probably because those things are heavy and she is only using one arm. The other is holding the camera. I’d throw it too. Just turn your volume down.
Alicia, I once had 14 people in my home for 10 days over the Christmas holiday. It was a ton of work and chaos, but I loved every second of it. Christmas day dinner was 32 people. And I just realized this is your life daily. All I can say is holy sh*tballs! 😅
@@bonniemcglothlin4990 no it’s only a US and Canadian holiday commemorating a meal between pilgrims and native Americans I believe? We have Australia Day on January 26th which is like your 4th of July it’s our Summer and we have bbqs and outdoor concerts, fireworks & family fun. We really only celebrate with a big meal and extended family at Christmas. A lot of families have long family lunches every Sunday though, that’s when you’ll do a roast dinner or big pastas, meat on a spit roast, a hungi, it depends on your cultural background. The key is to make friends with lots of people from different countries to get invited to their mums for Sunday lunch 😂.
@@passedoutsober6322 Plenty of Kiwis in Australia, that was my point, it’s multicultural and every family has their own traditions based on where they come from or traditions they’ve made. Wasn’t trying to say it was Australian 😊
You are so blessed to be able to buy everything and anything that you want. So many families are struggling. I watch a few large family vlogs and they are cutting corners with a strict budget. You are very lucky.
Its nice to do that for family. Im struggling to buy food this month im not working because i got sick and my child is diabetic so its been a rough couple of weeks without food but thank God gor food pantry's and stocking up so girl do you
I always want to try those peppermint pretzels and I never do so I'm going to have to get them this year thank you for telling me I'm not Alicia but I'm just one of the viewers so I appreciate you it's nice to hear when somebody else likes something that you want to try it God bless you Lisa sharing life stories with you

We do sparkling grape juice or water for thanksgiving! My sister is hosting this year! I always make the pumpkin pie and spinach dip in a Hawaiian bread bowl with extra Hawaiian bread rolls for dipping!! I can’t believe next week is thanksgiving!! I better see what I need!!
Alicia, I was just wondering ...Do you have like a restaurant supply wholesale store anywhere nearby? I work in a restaurant and alot of the canned goods you buy may be able to be bought at a wholesale/supply store in the large cans like the sauce your mom gave you..usually much cheaper/ much easier than having to open many small cans.
At 75 I am still cooking for 4. I wish the grocery truck would just back up to my house. I love your organization and your beautiful family. God’s blessings.
These trolls are insane. This is a normal woman that does pretty much the same things we all do as parents. Parenting doesn't come with a list of do's and don't do's. It's trial and error for most and it's life. People need to be humble and remember this woman is no different than most, and who are we to judge everything she posts with such hate and scrutiny. Take care 💜💜
@California Cruzin' yes you are spot on! I can't imagine being this miserable to literally take time out of my life to put down and criticize another woman/mother because I think she buys too much processed food or whatever else they can find to complain about, it's so bizarre.
@@naomi6772 are guests not allowed more than one plate and take home platters? I hate stingy dinners. We make enough for everyone to have more than one plate and take home platters. Also maybe they would like to enjoy their Thanksgiving leftovers. That's 2 additional days for 14 people to eat.
I love Costco and I don't think I've ever seen you do a haul from there. That first cart looks about like one of ours, but we're only a family of 4 😜. My only question us, since you're always so stocked up, do you rotate your shelves before restocking?
You threw me WAYYY OFF! 🤣😂🤣 I have been binge watching all your videos here lately, and at the beginning, the "water" instead of "coffee" again, caught me so far off, I had to chuckle! 😂😂😂
I appreciate that you do “you”!! I stock up like you with only 6 in the house. However, I can cook for 20 people at a moment’s notice bc I am stocked. That’s important to me….no one goes without…period!
Exactly, as someone whose family had financial issues this is very mindblowing, in a good way!! So happy to see kids getting treated the way they deserve
I grew up with a single mom with 8 siblings. I was the 3 rd oldest. We lost our father due to kidney failure. I just turned 7. My mother was so creative in feeding us every day on a limited budget. But we had days when we did not eat. I was an adult before I even knew what broccoli or a Brussel Sprout was because we could only afford carrots and potatoes and lots of pasta. We also only had 3 bedrooms in our home. We valued a hearty oatmeal breakfast and a hot vegetable soup for supper with homemade biscuits. Soda pop or take out food not to mention ever eating out at a restaurant as a family never happened growing up. I made a comment a few weeks ago wanting to see your family enjoy one of your breakfast meals…if it was my family during my youth we would have been so very grateful. I guess that was what I was looking for in your family. Hugs.
Sparkling apple cider is my fav for the holidays and also the cranberry ginger ale. I have a family of 3 but I always try to keep a stock pile like my mama taught me bc you never know when something can happen
Well I guess I'll get my Thanksgiving shopping list together ❤️ now. Love these shopping groceries hauls. For some reason you make it so much easier. Stay blessed
If your garage isn't heat controlled. All those canned goods will get frozen and the food inside will expand and bust the cans open. I know it gets cold there, so just a thought!
You should do a pantry challenge and challenge yourself to only use your pantry items and freezers for meals for a month. You could easily do that right now.
What a big haul, hey if you run out of room you can just stack can goods . I stack them than rotate them has I buy more when needed . Gives you more space for other things if needed . Just a idea for you !
Loved seeing you shopping at Costco. Don’t you love it there! 😊 40 ppl attending sounds like it would be so stressful. I don’t know how you do it Alicia. You are an awesome mom to your kids.
SAVE $$$ ALERT! Just an fyi. If your kids like the sports flip top on those bottled waters. You can have them take them off after, rewash and reuse them a few times before they are no longer good. Then you would only have to buy those cases every few times and just screw the tops on the regular cheaper water bottles! 👏🙌 Or they sell bulk reusable one's on Amazon that last a lot longer! Thought you might like to know😊
Alicia, what I c, I think you r a very loving Mom, I know you've been getting more negative comments lately. Just don't share anything personal abt your babies n they won't have nothing to complain abt! I had 1 child & worked full time & I thought that was hard, I can only imagine what it's like for you...WOW! I know you n hubby took this on bc you both had the love 🫶 to give! Pls don't give anyone anything to put u n hubby down! It takes away all the good you both do! I absolutely love your son, the one with the cast, I noticed he helps out the most & n is very handsome & your sweet Harlee, she couldn't get any cutier. Btw...I am 59 yrs old! All the best, Alicia, Martina ❤️🙏❤️
You’re sweet Martina. We don’t focus on those idiots nor pay them attention. There is a lot of it going around, not just here. Don’t let it bother you. We are a large, strong community of supporters and we will always win with kindness. Happy Holidays! ❤
I'd genuinely would like to know what your weekly budget is for your grocery bill for your family. Oh I recently found your videos and I must say I really enjoy watching them, so thank you.
Alicia Thankyou for all the video’s that you do for us. You have a wonderful family and a great loads of fun going on there. I’m not sure if you have seen it or not but there is a can dispenser shelf that you just slide your soups or tomatoes or tomato paste, store diced tomatoes, whatever and it rotates it automatically. I’m not sure if you have seen those, but her yet maybe I should text the company and ask him if there’s something that they could send to you once again thank you for your family of sharing it with us
Massive props to you! I don’t do any Costco hauls alone and here you are doing it all by yourself. I love your pantry! 🧡🧡🧡🧡 And thanks Costco man who pushed and pulled uphill 😱🥰😱🥰
We always have pitchers of brewed sweet tea and unsweet tea at Thanksgiving And always plenty of ice water in a cooler for refilling our water bottles.
TIP: Canned Goods... sit box on shelf, open both ends and push it out of the back onto the shelf all blocked, lined up and beautiful. Simple. #WorkSmarterNotHarder
We do the Welches sparkling great juice. It's in a bottle that looks like wine and we are not drinkers. But we put him in wine glasses and it makes you feel fancy
just an idea for your pantry. Amazon has organization racks for cans that you load up and it rotates your stock. the newest one is always in the back. they have them in stacks that are three cans wide and also for soda can size. this might help you and your family. I love your videos BTW.
I am thinking it would have been mind blowing. She has been getting a lot of negative comments on how much she spends so my guess is she wont be showing those anymore
We don’t focus on those people. They’re taught to hate by jealous bloggers who preach love. Go figure. So ignore them all. We’re here to love and support such a lovely family. ❤
Alicia great Costco haul 🛒🛍️🛒. I enjoyed it so much. Such a relaxing video for me to watch. Love how you include, all the kids in every thing you buy. Again another great haul. 💜💕❤️
You are really organised and I don’t know how you seem to do it. Such a massive family does require structure for shopping and meal prep 🧡 keep pushing 🙌 you doing great
Don’t listen to the haters, your children are FED, happy & loved in a healthy environment! Their opinions do not matter nor do they minimize the excellent job you do of caring for these kiddos. ❤
So many negative messages, if you don't like it, why do you watch? I have only a family of 4, but I stock up on everything. With the economy and possible natural disasters you should always have at least a months worth of food for your family.
Some people should ‘get a life’, & don’t watch if they don’t like the content.
Hurt people, hurt people. A lot of it is our ward manifestations of inward inadequacies, sadly.

How do you keep track of the foods dates? I don't see rotating.
She stocks so if she can’t make it out,she has backup!! Stop hating. Jealousy?!
I can't even imagine how much the groceries are, wow!!!!!
No Bree reaction to her new clothes!!?? I love how much she loves clothes and was looking forward to it. Let us know how she liked them!

You really need to get a harness for your phone so you can have both hands free. You can slip in in or out as needed, I bet it would help you.
Wish I had your energy. Thx 4 sharing your family life
I'd genuinely would like to know what your weekly budget is for your grocery bill for your family. Oh I recently found your videos and I must say I really enjoy watching them, so thank you.
You would think some of the clothes could be handed down. Looks like everyone gets new clothes
I work at Costco and those orange carts you put stuff on are called flatbeds 👌🏽
Alicia Thankyou for all the video’s that you do for us. You have a wonderful family and a great loads of fun going on there. I’m not sure if you have seen it or not but there is a can dispenser shelf that you just slide your soups or tomatoes or tomato paste, store diced tomatoes, whatever and it rotates it automatically. I’m not sure if you have seen those, but her yet maybe I should text the company and ask him if there’s something that they could send to you once again thank you for your family of sharing it with us
Alisha, You are doing great! Keep on keeping on!
Your videos are therapeutic to watch! Love you! 💜
Thank you for spending time with me 🥰
Massive props to you! I don’t do any Costco hauls alone and here you are doing it all by yourself. I love your pantry! 🧡🧡🧡🧡 And thanks Costco man who pushed and pulled uphill 😱🥰😱🥰
Can't believe I finally found this lol. That was me
Thanksgiving must be so much fun with 12 kids!
🧡🧡🧡
I get annoyed when you throw things at the cart. It honestly takes the same effort to slowly put things there
And I’m sure she gets annoyed when, as a grown adult with 12 children, someone tells her how to put things in her cart?!
@@elizabethbeffert6097 As can I!
It’s fine, you all are making money for the family, so keep watching! 😉
@@flyinggeckos123 Then you worry about your money. She can spend her money any way she wants! That’s just one of the freedoms of living in America!
Can't wait to see next week haul and Thanksgiving dinner.
You probably have to order it, but Orangina. It's the best with Thanksgiving. Serve very chilled. :)
Thanks for the suggestion 🧡🧡🧡
Can you do make up/skincare shopping ? I would like to see what brands you buy.
A utility rolling cart is what that thing is called you are having your groceries on :)
Hey! How much did this haul come to? Me and my mum watch these videos and both guess to see who’s closer haha
I started Thanksgiving shopping at the beginning of the month. Got my turkey for 98 cents a pound then
If you put it on social media, you have to take it all, the good, the bad and the down right disgusting, it's what you do about it that matters.
We always have pitchers of brewed sweet tea and unsweet tea at Thanksgiving And always plenty of ice water in a cooler for refilling our water bottles.
Omg, hommade applsauce is the best. My nana makes it with home grow apples and everything is so good ❤
🧡🧡🧡
TIP: Canned Goods... sit box on shelf, open both ends and push it out of the back onto the shelf all blocked, lined up and beautiful. Simple. #WorkSmarterNotHarder
We do the Welches sparkling great juice. It's in a bottle that looks like wine and we are not drinkers. But we put him in wine glasses and it makes you feel fancy
We do the same thing!!
Alicia, I bought those pretzel crisps last week at Costco and they are SO good!
Yes they are!
just an idea for your pantry. Amazon has organization racks for cans that you load up and it rotates your stock. the newest one is always in the back. they have them in stacks that are three cans wide and also for soda can size. this might help you and your family. I love your videos BTW.
That's a great idea, thanks for the tip 🧡🧡🧡
did she forget to show the receipt? i'm always so intrigued to see how much everything cost!
me too i was bummed that she didnt show it !!
I am thinking it would have been mind blowing. She has been getting a lot of negative comments on how much she spends so my guess is she wont be showing those anymore
I’m guessing $4k. 🤔
Wow so many negative comments. Alicia is an inspiration and I love watching her hauls
We don’t focus on those people. They’re taught to hate by jealous bloggers who preach love. Go figure. So ignore them all. We’re here to love and support such a lovely family. ❤
And one another ❤ Happy Holidays!! ❤
Alicia great Costco haul 🛒🛍️🛒. I enjoyed it so much. Such a relaxing video for me to watch.
Love how you include, all the kids in every thing you buy.
Again another great haul. 💜💕❤️
🧡🧡🧡
What sauce do you put on the little smokies? My mom always used BBQ and grape jelly.
Love your shopping hauls!!🧡😀🧡
🧡🧡🧡
You are really organised and I don’t know how you seem to do it. Such a massive family does require structure for shopping and meal prep 🧡 keep pushing 🙌 you doing great
Thank you!
Don’t listen to the haters, your children are FED, happy & loved in a healthy environment! Their opinions do not matter nor do they minimize the excellent job you do of caring for these kiddos. ❤
It’s a full time job just shopping for your family. Now you got to load it and unload it and put it all away.
And then meal plan and start using some of it up!
