This was Filmed Before the hurricane. It was just starting to rain, as you can see in the video. But that rain was from another storm, not the hurricane.
👻🎃 Trunk or Treats are so fun. The most fun I’ve had was when my uncle decorated an old pickup bed like a pirate ship. It had a mast and sail and flag. My aunt put an old trunk filled with candy, and we all dressed like pirates. We helped kids get in and out of the “ship” so they could dig candy out if the treasure chest. It was a smaller event in our church parking lot.
@southernfrugalmomma Thank you so much for the tip to go to Costco for men's pants. My husband's work pants were just completely frayed and wearing out. I said, You can't go to work like this! We found another brand of tough twill pants, same price. We would have paid double anywhere else.
We did trunk or Treat at our school. I ended up getting Halloween pencil from the Dollar tree I got like 100. The kids were picking them over the candy.
That seems to be a very generous amount of candy for your community. The gummies should go a long way, I'm always surprised by the amount of kids that would prefer a fruit flavored candy over a piece of chocolate. Always surprised (my weakness is chocolate, lol.)
@@wandamontgomery6030 I'll tell you one of my favorite Halloween stories. When my sister moved into her home right before Halloween, she was excited, being in a young family community for the first time, at the prospect of receiving trick-or-treaters that year. A favorite childhood memory of ours, obviously both of us being huge chocolate fans, was receiving full-size bars, and my sister went all out. She asked me to join her. I lived in an adult community with no kids and had recently divorced. While she went all out with her full-size bars, I shopped my contribution at the dollar store. I spent $3 on two bags of Tootsie Roll Pops and a box of tissues. I made Ghost Pops with the tissue, some curling ribbon, and a black marker to mark the eyes. Needless to say, my sister was quite upset when, by the end of the evening, kids where ringing her bell asking, "is this the house giving away ghost pops?" I don't know why she was so upset, we enjoyed the extra chocolate. 😂
I hope it’s enough! I went out a few days later and got a bag of suckers for the littles who can’t eat much candy. That’s all we are taking. I’ve never done this before and I’m so afraid we’ll run out.
I love Costco. Pretty sure 85% of my clothes come from there. My husband left his job of 30 years working as a float NA in a hospital and now works at Costco. He LOVES it.
I do the full size. They can pick one. I find it’s cheaper in the long run. We only get about 30 kids every year. My family likes the leftovers or I save for baking.😊
Wow your Costco haul was amazing! The Adidas shoes were a great price and I love the colors! The pants for everyone were a great price. Love your meal! Great job Brooke!❤😊❤
I love that you and your family shopped together! I love that your family always enjoys your meals! I love that your boys are so polite! I love how your little guy always faints after his taste of food and I love that in the midst of destruction of the hurricane, that you are doing Halloween candy for the kids in your community! Kids are kids for a short time and need those special things to look forward to. GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Your shopping trips even make me happy lol. Right now with all the devastation in my little town and surrounding counties a little uplifting video was much needed. We just got running water back and its amazing to have the normalcy of turning on the tap and see the water. We still have to boil it but at least we can use the restroom without worry. So many people are suffering and we ourselves didnt endure the worst of the tragedy. I am grateful for the distraction this video gave me just the same. Much love from Cocke County! God bless you all.
Cannot wait to see what you do for Community Halloween, Brooke!🎃 Great healthy haul and the pants were a steal. Thank you for sharing and be blessed always, my Southerland Squad! xoxo
Hi Brooke - I somehow missed this video but just came back to watch it as this was the video that had a rude comment. Not sure what the person was thinking. I enjoy watching the love all of you in the family have for each other. I can’t wait to hear how the Trunk or Treat goes. Though that will be at the end of the month. We love you - and we have your back!
I come from very old school. Our Halloween trick or treat was house to house in my small community. We got Carmel apples, homemade brownies and the old man at the end of the street gave out silver dollars. We visited him twice!😂. I feel sorry for kids that never get that experience. Trunk or treat just isn’t the same
When our own kids were young, we would get at least 200 kids at our door every Halloween. Now we're lucky to get a couple dozen. We still can't seem to resist buying silly amounts of candy and chocolate, so those who do show up get quite the haul.
Communities came up with Trunk or Treat (which is alot of fun & mounds of candy) because evil ppl put razor blades in the apples, popcorn balls & candy bars. The good suffer from the actions of crazy ppl. So sad.
I’m a new subscriber only been here about two months but I must say I absolutely love your family!!! I love how you’re always so positive and how you kids and hubby love you so so much! Keep pushing on you all are fabulous!!!!
Thanks Brooke I was pretty sure you were. We don't have alot of money but we and our family are doing the best that we can even sending food to our little starving fur babies as well. Our church has made a huge donation. God Bless your big sweet heart. 🙏🙏🙏
I’ve made those enchiladas before and also the frozen burritos from ALDI I’ve made into enchiladas.if it’s just for me I use the microwave and use a little salsa instead of enchilada sauce and a dab of sour cream on top.
I enjoyed watching your video. My sons love chicken taquitos. I am going to try your lazy enchilada recipe for my family. The salads look delicious. Great deals on the clothing and food.
Gonna try that lazy tacquito dish! Your salad looked good too! Your Costco haul made me want to go re-up my membership. It is 10 miles away, and I always spend too much money there. I miss the fresh fruit dept most of all. You gave me lots of good ideas! Thankd!
This is totally off topic but I would love to see you do a video on ways to use ramen as cheap meals! My kids love it but I need ways to bulk it up. One has an egg allergy so I can’t use them.
Make Taco ramen...cook ramen as usual, but don't use the flavor packet. Drain off most of the water and stir in some taco seasoning, salsa, and sour cream to make it creamy. Make a mixture of some browned ground beef and onion, black beans, corn, etc. Top the noodles with some of the mixture. Enjoy! Now that I am thinking about it, you could probably do the same idea to make a chicken pot pie type deal. Use cooked chicken and mixed veggies. Mix in some sour cream or alfredo sauce. I might have to try that tonight myself!🤩
Made the taquito enchiladas last night. Really good. My husband loved them. I did half chicken with green enchilada sauce and half beef with red enchilada sauce.
You snagged a great deal on those jeans 👖! We don't have a Costco. We've got Sam's Club. I get a military discount on my membership. Walmart is next door to the Sam's, so I bargain shop for items in both places. I've often found Walmart cheaper. A little math and watching prices make a big spending difference! Those salads were a perfect deal!
Great haul and the prices on the pants was incredible ! I agree you won't be able to afford candy for every child I the county . You bought quite a bit so that will go far
Awe, Dusty wanted to get the 30 pack full sized M&M'S...I don't think Brooke understood..because I am pretty sure Dusty said ..our boys love these..not for the trunk or treat for the community...I think that.. that candy should be enough..that's a lot of candy..love the socks and tennis shoes..those JoJo dark chocolate bites look delicious
Great video as always...I look forward to watching your adventures. Mom of 3 boys here too, except mine are all grown!! Your boys are so nice and respectful!! Great job, mom and dad!!
I made the lazy enchiladas the other day I had everything I've been seeing this meal a few times wanted to try it. So yummy. My husband was funny he was not sure about it but then ate everything on his plate. I did mine with the beef.
Oh!!! I saw your short about candy and didn’t remember this-- but I found it and I’d seen it. Lol. Hard to believe folks make something bad out of it but--Ive noticed in every job I’ve had, there’s always one person that would ruin the whole experience. Don’t sweat it-you’re insanely popular and SUCCESSFUL!!!
Brooke if you're on a low carb diet I would love some low carb low budget dinner ideas I'm struggling and I have to stay low carb low sugar to battle this dang PCOS
Great candy haul... Wow great budget saved fir Halloween candy... Great deals on the kids clothes and the pants great sale... Love your adidas shoes.... Great deal on the clothes ... You did fantastic with your Costco haul....got alot of food for a good price...god bless yall great video all around... Love ya sweet Brooke.... 🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
we thought the candy bags at walgreens here in calif were pricey ! and so does alot of other people no one is buying the candy its still sitting on the shelves there ! we live in a rural area here in calif ! and people are really pinching pennies here to be honest no one is buying anything out of there means here ! im glad to see that you are going to make some kiddo's happy this year "}
I tried the sweet tea skinny syrup it's really good and I add a lemon in my tea . I haven't tried the peach flavor yet . Fun haul we have been buying winter clothes too.
This was Filmed Before the hurricane. It was just starting to rain, as you can see in the video. But that rain was from another storm, not the hurricane.
Our church contacted Hershery Company and they donated a whole pallet of candy for our community Trunk-O-Treat.
Wow. I can't imagine spending that much on candy for Halloween 😮
I love that y’all go shopping as a family and enjoy the experience together !! You got some really good deals Brooke !! ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈

What a cute and fun idea! I'd bet those trick-or-treaters still remember that cool 'ship'!
Legend!

You do what you can afford, it's a blessing for you all to even participate
I would definitely stop by Brooke’s Trunk for sure!!! Love the selection you chose!!! 😂❤
Nutrageous - best candy bar ever made!
Aren’t you in East Tennessee ? Glad to see you posting and safe!
We did trunk or Treat at our school. I ended up getting Halloween pencil from the Dollar tree I got like 100. The kids were picking them over the candy.
I do the lazy enchiladas with the Aldi beef and bean burritos, enchiladas sauce and cheese. Fast as easy!
I came to say the same thing, good thing I read the comments first! LOL
That seems to be a very generous amount of candy for your community. The gummies should go a long way, I'm always surprised by the amount of kids that would prefer a fruit flavored candy over a piece of chocolate. Always surprised (my weakness is chocolate, lol.)
I'll take their chocolate 😊

When I was a kid it wasn’t just about the candy.. it was the anticipation and planning of getting to go, what fun it was so exciting!!

Homemade popcorn balls! I miss Donna!
Halloween was a very close second to Christmas for us when I was a kid in the 60s and 70s. My grandkids hardly care about it at all.
When our own kids were young, we would get at least 200 kids at our door every Halloween. Now we're lucky to get a couple dozen. We still can't seem to resist buying silly amounts of candy and chocolate, so those who do show up get quite the haul.

Oohhhh, try Unreal pb cups. Really good. Low sugar. Their chocolate covered coconut bars are great too. Just like a Mounds bar.
Can't wait to see what ya do for Halloween
Made the taquito enchiladas last night. Really good. My husband loved them. I did half chicken with green enchilada sauce and half beef with red enchilada sauce.
I'm loving your budgeting lifestyle breakdown something for everybody! Love yall ❤❤❤❤❤
Omg, definitely trying the taquitos casserole ❤
your boys are getting mustaches !!

Those salads make good wraps. I’ve stretched one salad into two meals. If toy have some of that precooked chicken just to add a little more it helps.
You got some great deals a😢 Costco deals today! Amazing prices on the sneakers and pants! Have a blessed day!
I have made that casserole, always a big hit with family
Great video as always...I look forward to watching your adventures. Mom of 3 boys here too, except mine are all grown!! Your boys are so nice and respectful!! Great job, mom and dad!!
I got a short with you in it. ❤ your energy and you a wonderful Mama
A version of your recipe I make: spread refried beans under the taquitos. Then assemble as you have. Favorite around here:)
Those pants are an exceptional deal

Costco is the bomb!! Love it!!!
hey Brooke and family ❤
When my 3 kiddos were home, we use to go to Costco too. Now that we are empty nesters and live in an RV, we don't need to buy in such quantities.
Hi Brooke and fellas! Great video! Tfs!❤😊❤
Fantastic haul Brooke!! ❤❤❤❤
I choked on my lunch when you said it taste like doody 😂
Really good haul
Those adidas sneakers are so cute!
Those little salad bowls are $3.50 each at stores here in Oregon. You got a great deal.

Great haul, Brooke. Good deal on the pants. ❤
Oh my goodness, you and I could be twins, I am allergic to only cashews, every other thing is just fine, love you guys
Brooke, may you please do some canned chicken and canned tuna recipes? 🙏💜👑
Yes! She's done a few. The only thing I do is tuna salad sandwiches or tuna casseroles. That's my extended knowledge of tuna! 😄😄😄
I love to make tuna or chicken patties!!!!
There are some good ones on Pinterest if you use it. I do canned chicken casseroles if I don't have anything else.
Those bags of lollies are huge!
❤ thanks for sharing ❤❤❤ y'all vlog 😊
