Same! Which is funny because I find shopping stressful lol but not watching Alicia shop from the comfort of my home lol also I'm nosy so I love seeing what people buy eapecially during special occasions like birthdays, Easter ect.
I so look forward to your full length videos. Shopping - Breakfast, lunch and sometimes, dinner - Folding clothes - Eating Sushi - Whatever. Thanks for sharing your life.
For the detergent, I recommend saving one of the smaller bottles, and then start purchasing the larger one and decanting it into the saved smaller bottle as needed! If only costco did an industrial-sized bottle of gain to make it a little less pesky
Former long term Wegmans employee here. I cooked in their prepared food department for 7 years in cherry hill NJ. I now live in Western PA, no Wegmans here🙁. The quality of their food is unmatched particularly produce and meat. Love their brand of just about everything (although not a fan of their ketchup, Heinz all the way, Pittsburgh born and bred). Their customer service philosophy is outstanding. If your kids are ever looking for a job, they are a very good employer
My husband just got hip surgery today and this video is helping me unwind after a very hectic day. It makes me feel better knowing there are other people in the world that are caring for others since it is such a heavy responsibility.
A good homemade coleslaw dressing recipe that I've been using for years. It's super simple and always a crowd pleaser. There's no exact measurements I use, it's all based on the quantity you need to feed and how tart/ sweet you like your slaw. Whisk together mayo, apple cider vinegar, honey (and/or sugar), a little minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Using cracked black pepper does make a huge difference, but regular pepper works just fine too. A little vinegar goes a long ways, so add a little at a time and be sure to taste as you go. Not part of the dressing, but adding minced/ chopped green apple to your coleslaw veggies is a total game changer. Goes great with pulled pork. Hope this helps! You and your family are amazing, such a huge inspiration!
I love when she says how they don't question her for coming in the employee door lol I'm like "of course they won't you buy 4-6 carts FULL of groceries haha
Save the smaller bottles and buy the big bottle of detergent and refill... That's what I do, those big bottles are hard to handle sometimes.. Fast fell in love with Y'all, your hearts are amazing.. ☮️💚🤗
I absolutely love her and her Family I stopped watching Family channels all together except for hers and to think all those vile people making bad videos about her and her family I went Into their Commet section and tore them a new one becuase they were saying awful things about her 😢 💔 I know she is awesome and no family is perfect
I love how you have it organized by type. My Dad and I organized the grocery shopping list too. We actually got a map of the store so we know what's on each aisle. We write out the list each week of what he's getting. He goes aisle by aisle down the shopping list so he doesn't miss anything. He likes to get in and get out quick LOL.
For Cole slaw dressing, I always add about 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar as the same or a little more amount of sugar to the miracle whip. It just makes it taste so good.
We do the same, but with mayo, red wine vinegar, and maple syrup. MMM. Another fun topping option for a twist is curtido, which is a Central American slaw traditionally served with papusas.
One thing I love about the US is the variety of grocery stores. Canada isn't very local. Which isn't bad, we have 1 local store where I am and they got some things but the US has all kinds of grocery stores. I love Smith's in Utah. I wish we had Fred Meyers. I used to cross the border for groceries and Fred Meyers was my american grocery store, you have all the things! Also target has sales! Y'all got the variety of foods and different brands. If I ever could immigrate to the US, when it comes to groceries... I would be in my tourist mindset forever. I am never not amazed. I have in-laws who are american and now they understand after coming north... why we are all about the food and grocery in the US. I look at the stuff you buy and just the store alone and I cant help but think "oh that would be a good brand to try"
Becoming a foster parent again & I LOVE your videos!!! My mom always made the BEST velveeta Mac & cheese... Just regular shell pasta, cut up Velveeta (big box) add a jar of cheeze whiz, add milk for desire consistency & melt in pot (stir most of the time so bottom doesn't burn) add together & viola! Yummmmyyy... She would also add ground hamburger and that is how I still make it today, a family fave!!! And much cheaper than buying those individual boxes!!!
Hi Alisha, You broke 400k subscribers. Congratulations! You, Joshua and your beautiful family are outstanding. I enjoy your creative charcuterie boards and how the kids look forward to them. It’s a win, win, win! I can’t wait to see all the summer excitement. Thanks for being here! 💖
As someone who grew up outside of Rochester and now lives in Atlanta, it is so nice to see Wegmans!!! I miss it, and I love that you do most of your shopping there! Helping hands is the best!
I live in England, and its interesting to see you talking about around the world monday - Scotland! The ‘scones’ you bought don’t look like the kind of scones we traditionally eat over here, I’m sure they will be delish but from what I understand scones here are similar to your biscuits… but we tend to eat ours with jam and clotted cream! Also the ‘parsnips’ you bought were actually turnips not parsnips! They are sort of similar (both root veg) but parsnips are a bit sweeter and look like white carrots!
My Dad is Scottish my Mam is Welsh, I agree with the Scones are more of an English thing, try Haggis, Shortbread biscuits, Potato cakes, the list is endless 😃
Yeah, I too am a fangirl 😉 when I am restless and doubting myself when things don’t go as planned with out fosterchild, I see how you handle everything with so much love. Thank you for showing the world that love (and food) is the One thing we need in life!
@@syniahthomas977 In the Netherlands (I’m Dutch) fangirl means that you are a female fan of something. So when you (try to) watch every video someone posts on youtube, because you like it so much, they call you a fangirl or fanboy.
I noticed you purchase both Mac & cheese & queso. If you purchase 1 or 2 blocks of Velveeta you can make both much cheaper. Queso- cut Velveeta in small cubes & add a can of Rotel or diced tomatoes and green chilis. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir & continue cooking at 30 second intervals until melted. The best queso ever! Mac & cheese- cut Velveeta into thin slices. Cook your noodles, drain & add slices & a little milk stir until combined 😋
As a Canadian, it's so fascinating to see the differences in our grocery stores!! Seems likes you have so many delicious food options that we don't get - Love watching your videos!

hey! love the videos. just a quick idea. I make a mess with heavy big bottles of laundry detergent and stuff. but what I do is I buy a little one too, so when it goes empty I just go ahead and fill it to top from the big bottle, I just use it as refill. keep up the content, wish health and happiness for the whole family!
i love these hauls i would watch anything, your so thoughtful on what each kid needs, i grew up with you got what you where given even if you didnt like it and i have so many food issues now
Hi Alicia👋👋👋 I love watching you shop for your family, it’s very interesting to see how much food you go thru with feeding so many growing children. I’m so intrigued by this weeks “Around the World” Monday, I’m Italian but have been obsessed with Scotland since my early childhood, I think I may have lived a past life as a Scot🤷🏻♀️ I so hope you’ll share that dinner with us, I’m curious to see what you serve, I can’t imagine there’ll be haggis on the menu🤢😂😂🤣 or will there be🤔 TYFS, I love watching all your vids, you’re awesome and very inspiring. I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed week🙏♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️
Love your haul videos! Just wondering if anyone else thinks you got turnips instead of parsnips? Both are delicious roasted! I am excited for this weeks round the world night!
Marie’s makes a dressing for Coleslaw. It’s in the produce section. Mix it with a bag of shredded slaw and it really is the most delicious coleslaw. Got this tip from someone after trying many totally homemade recipes. Whichever recipe you go with-try a little celery seed in it.
Love watching your videos-awesome family ! Coleslaw I grew up eating (I don't like vinegar at all ) Mom mixed miracle whip with some sugar (cuts down the bitter of the slaw) she added little bit of mustard (I don't add in mine ) Then add milk and mix well. You don't want it runny or too thick. Add ingredients little at a time. I have no idea how much for the large amount of coleslaw you will need. This is the only coleslaw I will eat. Nice and creamy and not too sweet. It is yummy. I make my homemade macaroni salad with this sauce as well then I always add can of tuna with macaroni salad -Really makes it taste so good with adding tuna :)
That would be so hard for you to have your daughter go,but knowing she's with your mom I bet will help . Sweety you are a beautiful blessing to these children ❤. It shows all the time. When the last 2 came they seem to start melting in with you all so fast. That's Love ❤
Dawn all the way. You can use it for so many other things. Pretreats stains on clothes, mix it with vinegar is a great household cleaner and so much more. Worth the little extra cost.
My mom does a super simple recipe of slaw and poppyseed dressing! If you wanted a creamier recipe I’d add some mayo to it as well and salt and pepper to taste! Love you and your family so much! Keep on keeping on!
When making coleslaw, the trick is the shred as finely as possible! It’s takes a while but it’s worth it. In mine I use both red and green cabbage. I add finely (very very finely, I’m talking almost paper thin) sliced orange or yellow capsicum (it’s helps keep it moist), and sometimes finely sliced celery. Of course lots of grated carrot. I love to eat mine sprinkled with seeds like sesame and sunflower seeds for a bit of crunch (and sometimes mixed chopped nuts), and drizzle it will an olive oil/lemon juice dressing (sweetened) 👍👍 Also, if you want to make Josh his Brussel sprouts special, cut them in half and part steam or boil them to soften slightly, then fry them in some olive oil to lightly brown, add balsamic oil, bacon or prosciutto, pine nuts and fresh Parmesan, cook until caramelised (stove top or in oven is fine) and top with some more Parmesan to serve Delish!
Hi Alicia.. I mean this in the most complimentary way.. I listen to your videos as I am falling asleep.. your voice is soooo relaxing and I always watch the rest of your videos when I’m wide awake.. enjoy them so much!!!
Love to see others who pick out their produce like I do, inspect the packages so as not toget smashed or bruised produce. A good hint, smell your bags of potatoes, they should smell like fresh dirt. Also feel the weight of your lettuce, a good head is very heavy with tight outer leaves. Get your watermelons with a yellow spot on it, it means it’s ripe and it should be heavy and not sound hollow when you knock on it. Just some info., you probably already know these but , just in case.
Those scones look unlike anything I've ever seen in the UK before! Enjoy Scotland night. Don't forget England one day, fried breakfasts and/or roast dinner with trifle for dessert
Make sure you do fried noodles for your kids. My mom always made these whenever she made noodles and gravy. You know the elbow macaroni noodles with ground beef and Brown gravy. We always had leftover elbow noodles so she would take a Pan put a little oil in it fry the noodles up get a nice and Brown on both sides and pour them out on a paper towel lined plate. It would just soak up a little bit of the extra oil put some salt on them and eat them I loved them with hot dogs. Telling you your kids are gonna love him they are so good and so crunchy. Lol just make sure sure the noodles are already cooked. I told my friend that little trick and she must have not heard me when I said they were left over noodles and tried to fry them raw
Why do I love watching you do your shopping! I hate grocery shopping, and do mine online, so it’s ready for me to just pick up. You consider everyone’s preferences, You have so much patience, oh and FYI, it’s a ‘hand’ of bananas xxx
Alicia, I really enjoy watching your videos. You are so organized! With a large family, I guess you have to be. It's so obvious that you love your family. The kids are so well behaved. You and your husband are such a positive influence in the kids' lives. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Have a great day, Alicia!!
Have you tried persil powder? We switched and I buy like a box a year so I assume it would be the most cost effective. Ultra refines and usually only available at euro grocery stores. I couldn't imagine doing the laundry mat ever. First major buy would have been a double LG washer set with a single dryer and the biggest clothesline in the world...
I’m an old fashioned southern cook. The best cole slaw is just shredded cabbage, Dukes Mayo and salt n pepper! We love Brussels sprouts too! I roast them with olive oil, salt n pepper, and then drizzle with balsamic glaze! Yum!
I'm not yet a mother, however strangely I could understand that feeling when you mention that you can't be away from one of the kids for longer than usual eventhough you have many other kids. You're truly an angel mama
I love watching these hauls! Going to the supermarket is super stressful for me but watching you do your shopping and hearing your soothing voice is super relaxing! It also helps me stay focused when I have to go shopping
I just saw your video when the older boys got adopted...omg I cried!!! Im soo happy for them they found such a loving family!!! Great job!!! 🤗😁💚💚 You guys are an inspiration!!!😉😉💚
My family coleslaw recipe Cabbage (I cheat and buy the bag already cut up with carrots-2 bags for 7 ppl) Kraft mayo, salt, and pepper Dill relish we use the entire sm jar. And fresh tomatoes.
I always wonder why you don´t have a washing machine/dryer at home. I get why it´s easier to get the carrots and celery close to "ready to eat/use", even though it seems crazy to a European. Of course they´ll help you putting the groceries away - you´re probably one of their biggest customers and they don´t want to lose you!
I don't know how you do it, but watching you grocery shopping haul relaxes me. I can't explain it, I think that because you enjoy it and call it "your time for yourself" you transmit tranquility and that is felt. Please take us with you shopping tomorrow too. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Alicia! Please be extra careful when switching dog foods. Dogs can't quickly change their diet so if your dogs end up getting sick and throwing that's why. They like a continues diet!
If it’s the same brand and a different flavor then it’s okay, but grain free dog food is never okay because it can cause a life-threatening heart problem called dilated cardiomyopathy, or DCM
I really like your grocery hauls, they're all i look forward to every week. I noticed tho when you've mentioned about buying the bigger bottle may be cost effective but w the mess its better for you to buy the smaller sizes. Have you tried to maybe reuse the smaller bottles like refilling them from the bigger bottle to lessen the garbage? You know, save mother earth
Hi from Scotland 🏴!! so happy to see you giving us a try for your around the world week, i was surprised when i heard our name lol! The dessert you’re making, Cranachan, is pronounced cran-ah-kin and it’s delicious 🤤
Ik I get so excited when I hear Scotland mentioned because we are hardly appreciated and like whenever people think UK they only think England 😭🏴
Although I wouldn't think if a scone being scottish...unless it's the Palace lol..sorry for the scottish play on words. Scone (skoon) palace is near Perth in Scotland (yes we have a Perth too...it was the original one lol)... but as I said before docherty family just visit and find out..lok
I usually get Dawn dish detergent, tide with oxi and downy scent beads. I just discovered Truly tropicals oh my goodness it’s amazing tasting!! I love your grocery hauls and your daily meal prep. 😊 you are so organized and know your kids🥰 I hope you have a blessed and beautiful day today Alicia ❤️
Im so amze to watch..your videos ..i wish i have money to buy grocery for my dauther for her 7th birthday..but just only a dream for me to ecpirience that..😔
How about saving the smaller laundry bottles and refill them from the larger cost-effective ones? Cole slaw: I buy the bagged coleslaw and add Marie’s cole slaw dressing. It’s great.
New sub :) My grocery store runs are chaotic (between my ears). I stress bigtime when the store is out of things on my list and I have such a hard time choosing something else. I'm such a creature of habit. I need to learn to relax and go with the flow...like you...you're so calm. I'll think of you next time I go grocery shopping :)
Love watching these videos! I have no doubt people have already told you but those are turnips and not parsnips! Kids usually love parsnips because they are usually quite a sweet veg.
New subscriber here!!! I don’t have kids but it’s so interesting to see what you do. I totally love your grocery shopping! Very relaxing! Hope you guys are well! 😁
I like to buy the 3 of the 16 oz bags of Angel Hair cole slaw mix bag then I grate a couple sweet carrots into the cole slaw and then pour a bottle of the Hidden Valley Cole Slaw dressing over it ~ mix it up and it's done. You don't need to add in celery seed or any other seasoning it's all in the dressing. New to your channel... Much Love from Missouri God Bless
I Love the Gain dish soap. At walmart you can get a big one for under $3! It lasts a long time and you only need a small amount. Plus they smell amazing! I am a gain fanatic haha
I love Gain - but I also add a splash of vinegar to every load of wash. It keeps the washer cleaned out AND deodorizes your laundry. Really great for that sour smell when you've left a load of wet towels in the washer and forgotten about them. Just a quick cycle with vinegar and No smell.
3 minutes ago I just finished watching your grocery video which was 6 days ago, after watching it I hope there is a new video. And this video appears 😍
Buy a large Gain bottle and save 2 smaller bottles just refill them at home. It’ll save you more. I do that for detergent and also for cooking oil I buy at SAMS I have a regular size bottle I refill after I had shoulder surgery.
With such a big family are you worried about shortages? Do you stock up at all?. I have special needs child and I need certain foods for her so I keep a small sock pile of those things just incase I can't get then some day. Love watching your videos.
You should buy large bottles of seasonings. They’re about as tall as a water bottle and They normally last me months without having to buy another one and they cost about $4-5 where I live.
SWEETHEART I LOVE YOUR GROCERY HAULS. FYI: those where turnips not parsnips.. it is easy to get confused if it is a veggie you don’t normally eat. GOD BLESS FROM WEST CENTRAL INDIANA FARMLAND ✝️🇺🇸😊🚜
JW - I love parsnips. If you like vegetable soup? Put a half of a parsnip in the soup. I did it for health reasons, but was so surprised at the mild sweet flavor it added. So good.
Although in Scotland 'neeps' are more like swede or rutabaga (so Google says its called that at your end of the pond). It's yellow...but in Scotland most of us call swedes, turnip!! My mum always calls those you got English turnips!we live in Scotland.
Two Cole slaw dressing ingredient suggestions. 1. 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of dijon mustard (depending on how big your batch of dressing will be), and 2. celery seeds (a little or a lot depending on if you like celery seeds).
Your grocery hauls are totally ASMR to me. It just relaxes me into my day. Thank you to you and your family! 🥰
100%. It completely relaxes me.
Same here. It almost feels like I am with her and shopping but I can still just sit and relax on my couch here in Sweden.
Yes, it’s so relaxing after a stressful day 😄
Same! Which is funny because I find shopping stressful lol but not watching Alicia shop from the comfort of my home lol also I'm nosy so I love seeing what people buy eapecially during special occasions like birthdays, Easter ect.

Wait, how do you make coleslaw ? I love coleslaw and can never find any I like. They always taste like pure vinegar.

Marie’s makes a dressing for Coleslaw. It’s in the produce section. Mix it with a bag of shredded slaw and it really is the most delicious coleslaw. Got this tip from someone after trying many totally homemade recipes. Whichever recipe you go with-try a little celery seed in it.
It's kinda cool that she switches up the soda for the floats because it's originally called root beer float! I love that❢
Love watching your videos-awesome family ! Coleslaw I grew up eating (I don't like vinegar at all ) Mom mixed miracle whip with some sugar (cuts down the bitter of the slaw) she added little bit of mustard (I don't add in mine ) Then add milk and mix well. You don't want it runny or too thick. Add ingredients little at a time. I have no idea how much for the large amount of coleslaw you will need. This is the only coleslaw I will eat. Nice and creamy and not too sweet. It is yummy. I make my homemade macaroni salad with this sauce as well then I always add can of tuna with macaroni salad -Really makes it taste so good with adding tuna :)
love how peaceful it is to come along on these grocery trips with you, always looking forward to your videos
My kids have all grown so miss shopping. I get my fix from you Alicia. You are so amazing to remember every child's needs.Bless you

That would be so hard for you to have your daughter go,but knowing she's with your mom I bet will help . Sweety you are a beautiful blessing to these children ❤. It shows all the time. When the last 2 came they seem to start melting in with you all so fast. That's Love ❤
🧡🧡🧡
Dawn all the way. You can use it for so many other things. Pretreats stains on clothes, mix it with vinegar is a great household cleaner and so much more. Worth the little extra cost.
My mom does a super simple recipe of slaw and poppyseed dressing! If you wanted a creamier recipe I’d add some mayo to it as well and salt and pepper to taste! Love you and your family so much! Keep on keeping on!
When making coleslaw, the trick is the shred as finely as possible! It’s takes a while but it’s worth it. In mine I use both red and green cabbage. I add finely (very very finely, I’m talking almost paper thin) sliced orange or yellow capsicum (it’s helps keep it moist), and sometimes finely sliced celery. Of course lots of grated carrot.
I love to eat mine sprinkled with seeds like sesame and sunflower seeds for a bit of crunch (and sometimes mixed chopped nuts), and drizzle it will an olive oil/lemon juice dressing (sweetened) 👍👍
Also, if you want to make Josh his Brussel sprouts special, cut them in half and part steam or boil them to soften slightly, then fry them in some olive oil to lightly brown, add balsamic oil, bacon or prosciutto, pine nuts and fresh Parmesan, cook until caramelised (stove top or in oven is fine) and top with some more Parmesan to serve Delish!
Hi Alicia.. I mean this in the most complimentary way.. I listen to your videos as I am falling asleep.. your voice is soooo relaxing and I always watch the rest of your videos when I’m wide awake.. enjoy them so much!!!
=D 🧡🧡🧡
Love to see others who pick out their produce like I do, inspect the packages so as not toget smashed or bruised produce. A good hint, smell your bags of potatoes, they should smell like fresh dirt. Also feel the weight of your lettuce, a good head is very heavy with tight outer leaves. Get your watermelons with a yellow spot on it, it means it’s ripe and it should be heavy and not sound hollow when you knock on it. Just some info., you probably already know these but , just in case.
Those scones look unlike anything I've ever seen in the UK before! Enjoy Scotland night. Don't forget England one day, fried breakfasts and/or roast dinner with trifle for dessert
Make sure you do fried noodles for your kids. My mom always made these whenever she made noodles and gravy. You know the elbow macaroni noodles with ground beef and Brown gravy. We always had leftover elbow noodles so she would take a Pan put a little oil in it fry the noodles up get a nice and Brown on both sides and pour them out on a paper towel lined plate. It would just soak up a little bit of the extra oil put some salt on them and eat them I loved them with hot dogs. Telling you your kids are gonna love him they are so good and so crunchy. Lol just make sure sure the noodles are already cooked. I told my friend that little trick and she must have not heard me when I said they were left over noodles and tried to fry them raw
Why do I love watching you do your shopping! I hate grocery shopping, and do mine online, so it’s ready for me to just pick up. You consider everyone’s preferences, You have so much patience, oh and FYI, it’s a ‘hand’ of bananas xxx
🧡🧡🧡
Alicia, I really enjoy watching your videos. You are so organized! With a large family, I guess you have to be. It's so obvious that you love your family. The kids are so well behaved. You and your husband are such a positive influence in the kids' lives. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Have a great day, Alicia!!
I would love to see the pantry/fridge/freezers at the end of the week. I feel like I have no concept of where all of this food could go!!!
🧡🧡🧡
half cup of sugar 3/4 cup mayo...1/4 cup ob buttermilk and one small can of crushed pineapple...add cabbage
So excited! Saved this to watch with dinner because I just made my first batch of your pumpkin chocolate chip bread and wanted to enjoy both together!
Have you tried persil powder? We switched and I buy like a box a year so I assume it would be the most cost effective. Ultra refines and usually only available at euro grocery stores. I couldn't imagine doing the laundry mat ever. First major buy would have been a double LG washer set with a single dryer and the biggest clothesline in the world...
I used gain and then white vinegar as my fabric softener. It helps get all the trapped smells out and makes the clothes super soft. 💛🌱
I’m an old fashioned southern cook. The best cole slaw is just shredded cabbage, Dukes Mayo and salt n pepper! We love Brussels sprouts too! I roast them with olive oil, salt n pepper, and then drizzle with balsamic glaze! Yum!
You could always keep the little laundry soap bottles and refill from the big one to save money.
I'm not yet a mother, however strangely I could understand that feeling when you mention that you can't be away from one of the kids for longer than usual eventhough you have many other kids. You're truly an angel mama
I love watching these hauls! Going to the supermarket is super stressful for me but watching you do your shopping and hearing your soothing voice is super relaxing! It also helps me stay focused when I have to go shopping
🧡🧡🧡
Watching your videos brings me peace to my hectic life. The way everybody gets along is amazing.
Love the shopping videos. Neeps are Turnips (mashed) and tatties are mashed potatoes. They are usually served with minced beef or haggis. Xx
🧡🧡🧡
Your such a good set of parents. You are changing and saving lives, how lucky god has placed them in your hands
I just saw your video when the older boys got adopted...omg I cried!!! Im soo happy for them they found such a loving family!!! Great job!!! 🤗😁💚💚 You guys are an inspiration!!!😉😉💚
Thank you 🧡🧡🧡
@@DoughertyDozen absolutely...but Thank you!!!🤗💚
My family coleslaw recipe
Cabbage (I cheat and buy the bag already cut up with carrots-2 bags for 7 ppl)
Kraft mayo, salt, and pepper
Dill relish we use the entire sm jar.
And fresh tomatoes.
Thanks 🧡🧡🧡
Have a great week and be blessed. Praying for Zoey and your mom to have a safe trip
🧡🧡🧡
@@DoughertyDozen praying for Alex.
Wrap clingfilm around the banana stocks and it makes them last longer-term. Apparently they release enzymes from the stock which ripens them quicker .
Chop your Brussels sprouts in half, then pan fry them in balsamic vinegar and honey.
This is my favorite way to eat Brussels sprouts! So good!
I always wonder why you don´t have a washing machine/dryer at home.
I get why it´s easier to get the carrots and celery close to "ready to eat/use", even though it seems crazy to a European.
Of course they´ll help you putting the groceries away - you´re probably one of their biggest customers and they don´t want to lose you!
I'm hoping to get some of your energy vicariously! : ) You are an inspiration. God Bless.
I don't know how you do it, but watching you grocery shopping haul relaxes me. I can't explain it, I think that because you enjoy it and call it "your time for yourself" you transmit tranquility and that is felt. Please take us with you shopping tomorrow too. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Alicia! Please be extra careful when switching dog foods. Dogs can't quickly change their diet so if your dogs end up getting sick and throwing that's why. They like a continues diet!
Ah, thanks for the tip. We'll do a slow transition 🧡🧡🧡
If it’s the same brand and a different flavor then it’s okay, but grain free dog food is never okay because it can cause a life-threatening heart problem called dilated cardiomyopathy, or DCM
I really like your grocery hauls, they're all i look forward to every week. I noticed tho when you've mentioned about buying the bigger bottle may be cost effective but w the mess its better for you to buy the smaller sizes. Have you tried to maybe reuse the smaller bottles like refilling them from the bigger bottle to lessen the garbage? You know, save mother earth
Clever
Hi from Scotland 🏴!! so happy to see you giving us a try for your around the world week, i was surprised when i heard our name lol! The dessert you’re making, Cranachan, is pronounced cran-ah-kin and it’s delicious 🤤
Hello! Thanks for visiting 🧡🧡🧡
Another Scot here too. Was well excited when I heard you chose Scotland. Most of us say 'scohne' not scone. 😃 hope you all love it ❤️
Ik I get so excited when I hear Scotland mentioned because we are hardly appreciated and like whenever people think UK they only think England 😭🏴
Another from Scotland! Thought I’d join the party :)
Although I wouldn't think if a scone being scottish...unless it's the Palace lol..sorry for the scottish play on words. Scone (skoon) palace is near Perth in Scotland (yes we have a Perth too...it was the original one lol)... but as I said before docherty family just visit and find out..lok
I love how you do around the world dinners . I think it’s important for children to know and taste different countries foods. That’s amazing
I find myself looking forward to these now. Yaay
🧡🧡🧡
Why don’t you keep the small gain bottles and refill with the large one?
Saves plastic and more cost effective
I usually get Dawn dish detergent, tide with oxi and downy scent beads. I just discovered Truly tropicals oh my goodness it’s amazing tasting!! I love your grocery hauls and your daily meal prep. 😊 you are so organized and know your kids🥰 I hope you have a blessed and beautiful day today Alicia ❤️
The scent boosters are the real deal.
Im so amze to watch..your videos ..i wish i have money to buy grocery for my dauther for her 7th birthday..but just only a dream for me to ecpirience that..😔
How about saving the smaller laundry bottles and refill them from the larger cost-effective ones?
Cole slaw: I buy the bagged coleslaw and add Marie’s cole slaw dressing. It’s great.
Love these hauls. I find them very relaxing plus I wish I had a Wegmans.
I worked in Washington DC for a few years and it was a requirement that I live near a Wegmans. I’m so happy to be back home in the land of Wegmans.
Cole slaw. Mix mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar and pepper in a bowl. Taste, when it tastes the way you like it mix in the slaw package.
I can’t wait to see her birthday haul! 💕
Buy the big bottle of detergent and refill the small ones. The red on lettuce is called “rust”. Our produce guy told me.lol
I am from Iowa! I hope she enjoys her visit. The weather just warmed up and the trees got leaves again. 😊
Thank you 🧡🧡🧡
New sub :)
My grocery store runs are chaotic (between my ears). I stress bigtime when the store is out of things on my list and I have such a hard time choosing something else. I'm such a creature of habit. I need to learn to relax and go with the flow...like you...you're so calm. I'll think of you next time I go grocery shopping :)
Love watching these videos! I have no doubt people have already told you but those are turnips and not parsnips! Kids usually love parsnips because they are usually quite a sweet veg.
Yup, oops Haha 🧡🧡🧡
I am amazed . I don't know how you do it day in day out. God bless you and your family.
New subscriber here!!! I don’t have kids but it’s so interesting to see what you do. I totally love your grocery shopping! Very relaxing! Hope you guys are well! 😁
I like to buy the 3 of the 16 oz bags of Angel Hair cole slaw mix bag then I grate a couple sweet carrots into the cole slaw and then pour a bottle of the Hidden Valley Cole Slaw dressing over it ~ mix it up and it's done. You don't need to add in celery seed or any other seasoning it's all in the dressing.
New to your channel...
Much Love from Missouri
God Bless
I Love the Gain dish soap. At walmart you can get a big one for under $3! It lasts a long time and you only need a small amount. Plus they smell amazing! I am a gain fanatic haha
Me too!! I love the morning breeze laundry soap n dryer sheets n the honey berry dish soap!!! They need to make body soap 😉😁😂
Yess the Honey Berry Hula ❤❤ That is what I use. I am obsessed with the moonlight breeze scent but my all time favorite is the Apple Mango Tango ❤❤
A body soap would be amazing ❤🤣
@@Melissa-dn5kd do you earn money if you use fetch ?
@@Melissa-dn5kd nice! I’ll check it out, thanks
I love Gain - but I also add a splash of vinegar to every load of wash. It keeps the washer cleaned out AND deodorizes your laundry. Really great for that sour smell when you've left a load of wet towels in the washer and forgotten about them. Just a quick cycle with vinegar and No smell.
Try scent boosters as well! Your laundry smells fresh forever.
Good tip! 🧡🧡🧡
3 minutes ago I just finished watching your grocery video which was 6 days ago, after watching it I hope there is a new video.
And this video appears 😍
Buy a large Gain bottle and save 2 smaller bottles just refill them at home. It’ll save you more. I do that for detergent and also for cooking oil I buy at SAMS I have a regular size bottle I refill after I had shoulder surgery.
With such a big family are you worried about shortages? Do you stock up at all?. I have special needs child and I need certain foods for her so I keep a small sock pile of those things just incase I can't get then some day. Love watching your videos.
She has a pretty good stock in the garage multiple fig and freezers. And 2 pantries
This has to be thousands, I can’t believe you would do this for your kids. Amazing 🥰🥰
Keep the small laundry bottles, then get the big ones and refill...I do that 🥰
Good idea
Your videos are so therapeutic. I suffer constant fatigue but your videos motivate me to cook and clean! Thank you!
Aw, stay strong! 🧡🧡🧡
Yes we'll I made your famous chocolate chip pumpkin bread today it was a hit♥️Thanks
You should buy large bottles of seasonings. They’re about as tall as a water bottle and They normally last me months without having to buy another one and they cost about $4-5 where I live.
SWEETHEART I LOVE YOUR GROCERY HAULS. FYI: those where turnips not parsnips.. it is easy to get confused if it is a veggie you don’t normally eat. GOD BLESS FROM WEST CENTRAL INDIANA FARMLAND ✝️🇺🇸😊🚜
JW - I love parsnips. If you like vegetable soup? Put a half of a parsnip in the soup. I did it for health reasons, but was so surprised at the mild sweet flavor it added. So good.
@@dln7994 I adore all these tips that commenters give! I am going to try your suggestion!
Thank you 🧡🧡🧡
Although in Scotland 'neeps' are more like swede or rutabaga (so Google says its called that at your end of the pond). It's yellow...but in Scotland most of us call swedes, turnip!! My mum always calls those you got English turnips!we live in Scotland.
Add lots of black pepper to neeps...
Two Cole slaw dressing ingredient suggestions. 1. 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of dijon mustard (depending on how big your batch of dressing will be), and 2. celery seeds (a little or a lot depending on if you like celery seeds).
🧡🧡🧡
