YOU ARE AN AMAZING WOMAN OF GOD! you take such great care of your family and you are always striving to do what is best for them. your Costco/aldi haul looks almost exactly like mine. we, too, had to do an overhaul of our grocery purchases, but it is totally worth it. it is a shame that prices are so high that when we treat ourselves it is on food, but praise God we have the finances to do so. Psalm 37:25 "I once was young and now am old, yet never have I seen the righteous abandoned or their children begging for bread." God bless you all!
SUGGESTION: I can highly recommend making your own avocado mayonaise that's beyond simple, fast to make, would save you a ton of money versus buying Chosen and even the kids could do it. I'll leave the recipe below if interested. Just put all the ingredients in a wide mouth pint jar and use a stick blender. Instant mayo! ☺️ Avocado Oil Mayonaise 1 cup Avocado Oil - Can get at Costco 1 Egg 2 tsp Lemon Juice 1/2 tsp. Dijon Mustard 1/2 tsp. Salt
Erin your such a wonderful mother and wife. I love that your eating healthy foods. Your such a good steward of your money and live a humble and honest life. And you do not exploit your children !
Erin, I applaud you for making a food difference in your lives. Thank you for sharing your grocery haul & I’m looking forward to seeing smoothie videos. Blessings to you & your family. 🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
As the Lord leads. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit so good for you. Teaching our children is important. God bless your family. I live your channel and commitment to the Lord.
We're made the switch to bulk buying with Azure Standard and I really think it's saved us TONS buying once a month vs going to the store once or twice a week. Less impulse buys (though they still were random), we make pretty much 80-90% of our meals/ ingredients from scratch now, and I rest much easier knowing there's no GMO, sprays, and we choose organic for many things. I'm looking forward to having time to finish this one up, but love the eagerness of Brooklyn helping you shop!
I love this video! We are slowly embracing the healthy lifestyle. It can be overwhelming, but videos like this one encourages me to keep working toward the long term goal.
Swap the chicken broth with BONE BROTH!! Even healthier and no taste difference. I use that in casseroles and in recipes. Easy way to add the health benefit. Great reminders here. I like what you said about small changes over time. Great job, Erin!!
I buy most of those same items from Aldi. I rarely get sick anymore but when I do feel something coming on, I just beef up my Smoothies with lots of organic super foods. It's my medicine. I'm much healthier, 72, and still going strong! Praise Jesus!
My family and I are switching over little by little. It's hard sometimes because how expensive food is. Love to see meals or snack ideas. All we can do is our best.❤
Hi Erin, this was a great video. I am your parents age and made many of these changes years ago so I know how important it is to buy better quality foods. You are so right when you said you have to read labels! You are such a wise young Lady! I wished I had been as young as you when I made these changes. I’m sure as always you have inspired me many people. ❤
Hi Erin! Pro Chef checking in (Culinary Arts degree), we learned in college, frozen fruit and veg has the highest nutrient content because of the IQF process, it means Individually Quick Frozen. When its cut from the plant, its immediately washed and frozen❤ in the field! Time, temperature, light, humidity all affect how quickly nutrients deteriorate. If we get something grown in another State/Country, say fresh broccoli, once its cut, boxed, transported to the store, unpacked and displayed, that "fresh" veg/fruit, say in 2-3 weeks has lost soooo much if its nutrients, its not as healthy as most would think! This may be different for those who live in warmer climates or are blessed with local farmer roadside stands, but in the Midwest, our season is short! I figured I would share becsuse you are health conscious 🤗 and I was excited to see your frozen strawberries! I enjoyed watching this, thank you for sharing❤ As a person with (new) Celiac Disease diagnosis, I need to change my diet and I looooove how you said "swap", it doesn't sound as drastic as what the doc says😂...change your whole diet...gulp, scary😂 I'm going to heed your excellent advice and swap, in a slower paced manner! You're the best! I always tell myself, what I put in my body now determines how I spend my golden years, enjoying life and healthy enough to travel! People in my huge family ate bad and are in the hospital, doctor offices, going for tests, all kinds of pills, its sad! But, we do have a choice what we eat and our attitudes, yours is amazing and you are possibly saving your children from health ussues down the road as well! Great job!!! Change can be hard, but poor health is harder! I do natural healing, about a decade now because it works, but still see my PCP annually for bloodwork and check up. No prescriptions, don't need them! This gluten free is a major change, so I am grateful to you, Erin, thank you❤ Have a blessed weekend!
So refreshing to see someone trying to stay away from seed oils, and buying organic. I have gotten serious about my health using functional medicine and looking at root causes. And it has helped so much! Reversed diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, asthma (between my husband and I). And yes, it’s a process. We barely go out to eat anymore because they all use canola oil!! God bless you for sharing!
As a kid, I was my mother's grocery store companion. We were a family of seven, so I feel you on this. I knew her routine in and out. Mom had a list, but it merely stated the have to get items. We were always going to get more than that list stated. I went with dad one time when mom was recuperating from surgery, and he only went by the list. I tried to explain that he wasn't doing it right, but that was how it was going to go with him, so I just had to accept it. Even as an adult, I jumped up to help her unload her vehicle as soon as I heard her drive up. It was just drilled into us that we were expected to help her get things inside, and then we got out of the way as she put it all where she wanted it to be. We were informed that we were not helpful with that part.
I loved how you explained why you got each item as far as health goes. We also have eliminated a lot of unhealthy things from our diet over the years gradually. We have 4 kids and that is our highest expense for the month with them almost all being teenager now. My youngest will be 13 this month. Food can help us or hurt us if it's filled with junk and so I appreciate you sharing all these tips that can help others as so many are unaware of the negative effects if we don't consider what we are eating. I want to mention as a helpful tip that if you guys are typically eating yogurt, it is simple to make it homemade! You can make it by the gallon with milk in a crockpot and all you need is a small single serve container culture to get it going! That can save a lot of money in the long run also if you decide to try it. Thanks for sharing this! God bless you guys!
Thankyou for sharing, Erin! Good for you, feeding your family healthy organic foods! We do the same for our family. We don't go out on expensive holidays, but do spend a lot on feeding our family well! Can't wait for your next videos!
Erin, thank you for sharing your healthy shopping tips . I think it's great that you are making changes to your food shopping to make sure that you are eating the healthiest food for your family.. I spent a lot of time when my kids were young to try and feed them healthy. I used a lot of healthy cook books and today my kids have kids of their own and they feedl them healthy because of the way I did for them. I believe it is important to teach them young about the importance of making good choices on how to eat right. It might cost a little more and take a little more time but it is worth it for your mind and body. What a great shopping buddy you have. God Bless You All and thank you again.🙏😊
Thanks for sharing! I enjoy going to Aldi’s as well. Your family is going to appreciate you cooking for them as they get older. It helps encourage family time together, make home feel welcoming and a wonderful place to thrive in.
Thank you so much for sharing! My mom has been making big food changes for our family as well and it is encouraging to see other famalies doing the same!
Thanks Erin for new video and giving tips for buying healthy. I like to see also video about making different smoothies and I like your cooking videos and day in the life type of videos specially
Our family relates so much to this. After some health issues for me we really started changing what we eat. Your Costco hauls look just like ours. Cutting all the bad oils has made a huge difference in how I feel. Praying for good health for you all!
Thank you! This was an amazing video! We’re on the same journey and seeing some of the items you’ve found was so helpful. I’m making my lists for this weeks shopping now. Appreciated your comments about starting small and not getting overwhelmed as well. That is so easy to do with the situation we’re in.
Do you plan out your meals for the week, month etc and do you let your kids help you plan them? You and Chad are very encouraging too! Praying that if He hasn’t already done so that God would bless your family with a new place to live an a very, very easy move! God Bless!
Erin i’m in an eight-year-old grandma and great grandma and I say that just to let you know how many people you were touching and how many lives you bring joy to. I love my family, my children, my great grandchildren, my grandchildren so to see you with your family and how much you enjoy them is such a warm blessing to me. Whenever you come up on UA-cam, I love watching you and I love to hear the things you say from the Lord he is so good and you truly bring that across. you are one of those blessings that the word says, surely you will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living and I feel that’s what I get to see through you. Thank you blessings on you and your family.
try to buy cheese in blocks. Shredded cheese has additives to keep it from clumping together. If you block the blocks and shred them yourself when you need to use it.
I appreciate your comments about healthy foods ❤ I have also started the journey to slowly swap things out for healthier options (although the last couple months I’ve gone backwards.) You are right that it can seem so overwhelming and it feels like our system is set up to keep us eating bad foods. But you are encouraging me to get back at it and try again!!!
Great video Erin. I applaud your decision to start swapping processed foods for fresh,healthy and organic foods instead. When kids watch their parents buy and cook healthy foods,they mimic them. People may think their kids aren't paying attention to those things but you bet they do. I loved watching your daughter helping you! Have a great week! 😊
I appreciate this video and am so inspired by your sweet family. I admire your strength, beauty and attitude Erin! I’d love to see your recipes and lifestyle advice like bedtime routine, reading your kids stories and calming children in difficult situations. Your beautiful. I’d appreciate your makeup and hair suggestions.I look up to you and your mom a lot. Your family rocks!❤
Wow Erin thank you for sharing how to get healthier . I really appreciate your video. Yes it would be lovely to see what you put in your smoothies and any other recipes you've got.😊
I love your videos, y’all are so encouraging and a blessing and I love bringing up bates it’s still one of my favorite shows. I hope y’all have a good weekend
Love to see this! We are careful about buying organic, minimally processed foods with no seed oils too. Can’t wait to see what you make your family and what your kids enjoy. Always inspired by you Erin! Thanks for sharing!
What a wonderful video Chad and Erin!! I love brooklyns reason for liking grocery shopping “ because of all the sales and deals!” Hope to see more grocery hauls in the future and some cooking with me videos!!
This has such great information! Will you please share the books that you read on healthier food choices? I’d love to read them as well. I’d also be interested in watching a weekly meal plan and seeing your recipes! Thanks for being such an inspiration!
I love that you have made this commitment to your health. This is such a fun video! I am looking forward to you sharing all the recipes and things you have implemented.
I love the way you shop! We buy almost everything the same, and we are a family of 13. As you said, it does not happen overnight. We started living this way over 20 years ago. God Bless! So glad I found your channel!
I can tell you’ve done a health overhaul & done you research! Your Costco list is everything we buy there. We also buy the Archers beef sticks for a protein snack & the organic chicken :)
I don’t know if you have a Wegmans that far south but they make a clean, organic peanut butter (just peanuts & salt) in a glass jar which is about 30% cheaper than other clean brands (we used to use Once Again because they test their peanuts for aflatoxins) Not sure if you’ve moved on to eliminating plastics in the kitchen which I’ve learnt disrupt hormones. We’ve made a lot of changes over the past 10yrs! It takes time. All at once is overwhelming. We swapped to all stainless steel/cast iron/glass cookware & wooden/stainless steel utensils only. All the best on your health journey!
Loved this resource filled and practical video and just love Brooklyn! It’s crazy how similar our family is with groceries, we seriously buy the exact same thing! I saw you had rose poppi!! That’s our FAV! Usually find a great deal on amazon or Wholefoods once in a while and stock up! And love a good Aldi run! Good job Erin! Would love to see how you plan meals and especially your breakfast burritos!! Yum ❤ God bless you Paine Family!
Our Costco hauls look similar! We’ve had to buy better foods for our health after some health issues also, and I’m thankful Costco has so many options!
Great video Erin! You are so lucky to find all those organic items in US Aldi, in the UK Aldi does not do organic foods at all. I wonder if your next step would be to include more beans, seeds and pulses in place of some of your meats- that would make it all a little cheaper and even healthier! You are so right about good food helping you to feel good and fit for service for the Lord.
Thank you Erin, I love watching from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤😊 and I love watching how large families manage, meal plan and shop for a week to month? Curious how other families do life? ❤😂
I'm glad to see you are reading ingredients! Most people just read labels and the front of the package. The fewer ingredients the better. I was also glad to hear that you're doing healthy oils. I started following Jen Smiley, and she really has some great ideas on eating healthy brands. Siete brands, Simple Mills, Lovebirds cereal, Aldi's all natural peanut butter, Chosen products, Primal kitchen brand,Base Culture breads, etc.
Erin, your little helper is a cutie pie. Also, you and Katie look so much alike. I love too watch your family on utube. God bless your little famiy....😊

We watch Bobby Parish a lot. He has wonderful information on clean ingredients and very knowledgeable
As a fellow mama to 6 kids, I really appreciate you making this post! I’m on a health journey too and making all the swaps. Loved this!!
I love this video! We are slowly embracing the healthy lifestyle. It can be overwhelming, but videos like this one encourages me to keep working toward the long term goal.
This is very helpful, thank you. Would love to see an example of your weekly/monthly meal plan!

Thank you for sharing. So many of us are trying to make better food choices for our families so its great to see your ideas.
You are so correct in what you say.
I love the way you shop! We buy almost everything the same, and we are a family of 13. As you said, it does not happen overnight. We started living this way over 20 years ago. God Bless! So glad I found your channel!
After eating healthier I am off two meds
@ Praise God! Congratulations!
What a great video would love more videos on how you manage meal planning cooking from scratch
Love seeing other families doing what they can to make more healthy meals but knowing and doing what you can with your budget

Loved this resource filled and practical video and just love Brooklyn! It’s crazy how similar our family is with groceries, we seriously buy the exact same thing! I saw you had rose poppi!! That’s our FAV! Usually find a great deal on amazon or Wholefoods once in a while and stock up! And love a good Aldi run! Good job Erin! Would love to see how you plan meals and especially your breakfast burritos!! Yum ❤ God bless you Paine Family!
Thank you Erin for this encouragement!! 🫶
I love all videos you post, but thusmay be my favorite yet. I would love to see more!
Great grocery haul Erin.Can u please update your viewers on the move.Oh happy belated 1st Birthday baby William. 🫶🇨🇦🏠🎉
Erin you really hit home for me. Been trying to switch my family to eating more healthy. Thank you! ❤
I am excited to follow your healthy ideas,too! ❤
Our Costco hauls look similar! We’ve had to buy better foods for our health after some health issues also, and I’m thankful Costco has so many options!
Great video Erin! You are so lucky to find all those organic items in US Aldi, in the UK Aldi does not do organic foods at all. I wonder if your next step would be to include more beans, seeds and pulses in place of some of your meats- that would make it all a little cheaper and even healthier! You are so right about good food helping you to feel good and fit for service for the Lord.
Thank you Erin, I love watching from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤😊 and I love watching how large families manage, meal plan and shop for a week to month? Curious how other families do life? ❤😂
I’m excited about these upcoming videos
I'm glad to see you are reading ingredients! Most people just read labels and the front of the package. The fewer ingredients the better. I was also glad to hear that you're doing healthy oils. I started following Jen Smiley, and she really has some great ideas on eating healthy brands. Siete brands, Simple Mills, Lovebirds cereal, Aldi's all natural peanut butter, Chosen products, Primal kitchen brand,Base Culture breads, etc.
Not true.lots of ingredients does not always mean unhealthy
Erin, your little helper is a cutie pie. Also, you and Katie look so much alike. I love too watch your family on utube. God bless your little famiy....😊
Can't wait to hear your practical, healthy family recipes
You have a Great helper, lucky you!
