Rewatching Andrea's vlogs. Like having tea with an "old" friend...she was a friend to so many of us.
Yes...❤
@Mary Kirkpatrick, I’m doing the same and rewatching all of Andrea’s vlogs too. I’m sure many of us are, as you’re exactly right, it is like spending time with an old, beloved friend. God Bless.
I am too. I get a little freaked out when she talks about dying in general on some of them though.
I remember when I found she died... I was working but I could not hold my tears. She was amazing...
Tom! Please monetize these videos 💜 I can't help with the GoFund me but have been going back to rewatch Andrea. She gives me so much peace and calm 😊 I would like to give back somehow and I'd like to think all your other subscribers feel the same way (and are rewatching many videos right now). Sending your family love and hugs.
I feel the same way. I hope he does monetize it would be awesome so we can feel like we are helping them. I can't donate either and that would be a great way for us to give back. Please Tom..I love all her video's been binge watching everyday. She had great ideas. What a lovely lady ..
I absolutely agree and I’m pleased to see he’s started to do this, but with these older ones it would be great if they were monetised too. So many people are rewatching these wonderful vlogs and I’m sure would happily watch the advertisements to help the wonderful Mills family. Andrea gave us so much and she is still giving, and even though I can’t afford to donate I want to give something back to help.
True with the peace and calm whenever i watch her vids.
@@TRH6674 Me too. Binge watching.
I can’t believe she is gone. I’m just rewatching all her shop with me videos!
Me too. ❤
I’m so glad the kids have these videos to look back on. She loved y’all so much Tom and Kids♥️. Rest in paradise sweet lady. You were and still are very much loved♥️
Dear, dear sweet Andrea. My heart is broken into a million pieces. Sleep well lovely lady.
😪
Amen 🙏
Sweet Andrea still encourages and motivates me to continue to do my best and work hard to be a great wife and mother….sure do miss her!!!😊
Andrea, i don’t quite think you realised just how many of us got hooked on your channel, you have a very rare quality about you that makes you addictive ( in a very good way ) your passing has left a gigantic hole in our hearts, you were far far to young to be taken away from you family, especially your children and hubby but your vlogs will be such a god send to them eventually, when it will not be to painful to watch you. I know you will be watching over Tom & your children and directing them in the right direction on there life’s journeys, just know Andrea, you were one of a kind, there was something very special about you and the way you approached life and your way of teaching your children, they will definitely grow up kind, loving & well balanced. You truly are going to be missed so much. God must of had a very important purpose for you to call you home far far to early. Good night Andrea, sleep tight. Xxxx
I feel like I missed out not knowing her all these years but have enjoyed watching her videos and have come to realize she was a very talented woman, painting her walls, organizing, building shelves, shopping, home schooling and truly loving all her children, scrapbooking and always thinking of others. She rarely bought herself anything because she lived her life to be there for others. Truly a disciple sent from above. This is one of the positives of social media, without youtube we would never have seen or known her. Rest in Peace, Andrea you ran a good race and I know God is pleased with you.
Going back to rewatch Andrea videos. Bless you all, Mills Family! ❤
My mom passed away in 2008. On her birthday or other special day, I like to buy a candy she liked, eat a meal she really enjoyed and watch a TV show or movie that she loved. It's a good way for me to remember her. I also look at photos, but then that makes me cry..
Winter Precious i know what you feel. I lost both mum and dad 2017/2018 in the space of 5months.
What a great idea.
Couldn't help but smile when she picked up her fav cadbery creme eggs
R.I.H. Andrea. She was such a beautiful smart young lady. Thank you for sharing so much for all of us to learn.
Yes. I agree. I've been watching these for days. She had such a drawing sweet spirit. It brings joy to my heart to be able to see all these.
Rewatching all Andreas vlogs,I find her voice & calming character so attractive,I can’t believe she is no longer with us.I know she is resting in peace & looking after Tom & their adorable children💖
I find your shopping videos so relaxing! Especially love when you show the scenery as you drive. Wyoming is beautiful! Thanks for taking us along with you! ~Jennifer xo
In just enjoy your videos so much. But more importantly, I just enjoy you. You are such a delight. Thanks for taking us along with you and for sharing your journey through life.
Yea I have been rewatching all of them too. I get so much from her videos
Just can't believe she's not going to be making anymore videos it seems like just a dream. I learned alot from watching Andrea and I'm still watching her videos just missing her. I pray that Tom & the kids are doing well & its going to take time to adjust without her praying for the whole family🙏❤
why don't you monetize your videos? You put so much time and love into them I would love to support you by watching the ads that pop up before a video. I love going virtual shopping with you 😊
Schnauzer Mom she talked about that in a previous video. I think she should too.
She should!
Schnauzer Mom, I agree! She puts so much work and dedication in her videos and it shows! I enjoy her videos.
She has said in the past that she doesn't like that you can't choose what ads are played on her videos so she doesn't want to push ads she doesn't believe in. She said she would feel like a vacuum cleaner sales man and she thinks of us as friends
Julie Collard Ok. I respect her choice. I don't mind clicking SKIP and/or letting the ad play.
Tom the smile on your face when you see Andrea at the end says it all. God bless.
I'm a 19 year old college student but I LOVE these types of videos on your channel!
I'm a college student too; it's relaxing to watch! I listen to them while studying
Same lmao
nice to see you have a lunch on your own. You have a lovely family but need, and deserve a breather now and then. $9/person is amazing !
I miss her so much I just found her channel a few days before she died she was so awesome rip Andrea. Sending thoughts and prayers to the Mills family
I have been stuck at home with sick kids for passed 6 days so have been bingeing this sweet Mummas videos! 🌸💗
I learned of Andrea from another UA-cam Homeschool Mom. I’ve gone back and started watching all of the videos just to know more about this precious lady.. Praying for your family..
I have been watching old videos I'm sure she's proud of you and all the kids
I love watching your videos! You seem so down to earth and more "real-life" than a lot of youtubers
Love watching these hauls, Andrea....I only had four children but this makes me recall my grocery shopping days when they were all living at home! It takes lots of food and snacks for young ones and all their friends who visit. Thanks for taking us along!
Well that's a brilliant idea, assigning a color to each kiddo so nobody's feelings get hurt and bigger kids don't get all the eggs!! plus you can make the difficulty level commensurate with their ages/abilities!! Good job Mom!
I love how organized you are Andrea. I can watch your shopping videos all day/night🙌🏻🥳
I love these kinds of videos you do, I guess i'm just a little nosy and like to see how other people do their shopping :) x
I am new to your channel but I watch you and your family daily. I enjoy watching your family. Your children are so loving and adorable. I love to watch you shop! I enjoy every video that you take us along with you. I love watching you home school! ❤️
We live in a small town with a Walmart 45 miles away and so I understand the art of packing your shopping cart just so so everything fits!!
I love when you take us shopping! I mainly shop at Costco, so your small local grocery is like a whole different universe, but I really enjoy it.
Watching these videos really help me budget and such. We are a family of 3 (my husband, myself, and our roommate) all I in our 20s just trying to get by on a small income. You have inspired me to make my own budgeting organization for our grocery shopping. Thanks and keep doing what you do. :) love from Georgia.
I love your videos. They're so relaxing. I wasn't feeling well today and it was calming getting to watch your vlog. You have the sweetest family and you're such a great mom!
Your wife was very matuculous , thoughtful. She was just the best momma!!! 💝🙏🏠🙏💝🏠🙏💝🏠
Oh Andrea! I love these videos so much! I admire your restraint in Dollar Tree - only spending $3.15?! OH FRIEND...teach me your ways! HAHAHAHAHA! :) Watching your "shop with me" videos are so interesting and helpful! For March, I tried only going shopping 2 times, and I know it saved money. I was also surprised to find that we still have plenty of food left (for meals). Our snack bins seem to go dry first, too, but they kids will survive, lol! My husband and I enjoy comparing what we do to what you and Tom do; it's very encouraging. I will say, that song you used at the end of this video, seems to fit the countryside of WY very well. That song always makes me tear up, too, especially when you get home and Tom is out there just a-smilin' at ya! It's just so so sweet! I'm pretty sure this was the same song you had on one of your other haul vids, when you came home, and Eden greeted you. Tears from me again! I'm such a SAP! :) :) Love your family; love your videos; love your attitude; love your willingness to share; love it all! I admire you and really wish WI was closer to WY! I feel like if I'm ever in your part of the country, it's going to seem so familiar (since we go on that drive with you, monthly). Thank you for sharing your world with us! I thank God that He's using you (and your family) in such a mighty way. :)
I like your shopping videos. I think they are more fun to watch than the ones where the stuff is all laid out. Thanks for taking the time to do them!
I love your videos. I have recommended you to my fellow "crunchy" mom friends because it seems like everything you do is so natural and close to home. Your videos are great to watch and a breath of fresh air from the negativity in the rest of the world.
Who could dislike these vlogs? I don’t understand -they are so wonderful and a testament to what a beautiful and loving family lady that Andrea was. If this is not your thing, please move on. She was just so sincere, and even before she passed I couldn’t understand why anyone would do that.
I enjoy watching how you do it. We have 6 kids, 2 left at home. I've always tried to economize. Now I have 4 grandkids. A different kind of fun!
Our life circumstances couldn't be more different, but I still love checking in with you and see what you're up to :) It's really relaxing to me! :)
You are my favorite UA-camr! I never would've thought I would enjoy watching someone grocery shop but you've proved that wrong hahaha
Yess! Please keep doing these videos! I get out my Walmart browsing vicariously through you without having to go out and accidentally spend too much 😂
I have watched so many of your shopping videos (LOVE THEM) that I honestly could probably do it for you lol .... I kept saying you forgot the pepperoni then when you flashed back to it I was all "you only got 2 packs, you always get three.....you forgot oneeee!!! lol" honestly I find you and these vids so soothing and just refreshing. Thanks for all the effort you put in to entertaining me!
I don't have a specific comment about the video except that it was great, as always. Mostly I just want to tell you that I enjoyed spending a little time with you today and I hope your week is going great. I look forward to seeing what you have planned for us next!
Wow, and here I was, proud of my cart stacking skills, and Andrea got probably 10X the amount I can get!
You are so real and I think I feel like you are a friend. Our family also homeschools and I would want our kids to be in a co-op with your kids if we lived anywhere near each other. But we are in GA so that isn't possible but just know I appreciate your giving us glimpses into your life.
I'm super addicted to these shopping hauls loving yours the most great hideo and family ♡☆♡☆♡☆♡
Hi Andrea, I'm exhausted just watching you shop lol. What a workout, thankyou for all the wonderful videos, I appreciate the time you put into them xxx
We use to make jello eggs at my mamawse every year. My dad would always try to impress us kids by swallowing them whole. One year he choked and we all thought he was joking; luckily he got it down. But needless to say that was the last year we had jello eggs. Lol.
Yikes!
I'm glad dad won't do that
I loved seeing everything purchased for the month. We have no children, so I enjoying seeing how large families live. Thanks for sharing!
Love watching and getting great tips from Andrea. Thank you for Sharing your family!
I loved seeing Tom smile at you when you pulled in the driveway! I wish you could do my shopping, I never get the good stuff.
I'm a new subscriber... I think you and Tom have worked hard to create a beautiful life for all your children and yourselves what a beautiful family you are
New subscriber to your channel. Your grocery shopping vids really motivate me to do my grocery whenever I'm lazy, you always seem so relaxed in everything you do it's such a pleasure to watch your vlog. Happy weekend 🤗
I love watching these videos. You had great restraint at Dollar Tree. I can hardly spend that little and I go frequently.
I love these videos so much! I'm so glad you keep making them as I learn from your organization systems each time. I shop almost exactly like you-- I keep a well stocked pantry from my grocery store but went to WM each week for non grocery items. I have made my own inventory list and tried a monthly shopping trip last month. It worked soooo well!! I just compared my wal mart debit purchases over the month before and last month where I only went once and I saved over $200--which is half my budget just like you said. I'm a widow and single mom so that is a huge blessing for me!!! I only had to make one extra trip for a gift card. After seeing these last two trips, I have revised my list to include a holiday/ special days category so I can look ahead to see what holidays and birthdays are coming and get the cards, candles, etc at that time too. What a great idea!! I also added a section for some food items I get there since my grocery store doesn't carry them. I thought it was funny to see you get candles since I added them into my new list because that is where I buy candles but didn't think about it last month. 😊. I shop early in the month so my next trip is coming up soon with the new and improved list. The time and money savings is huge. Again, I thank you for sharing your ideas and life with us! You are helping me in my own homemaking endeavors so much. I appreciate you so much and love your channel!
I really like your shopping videos. I guessed $500 dollars at Walmart. You put so much work into this, editing in the pictures of other shopping and showing the printout of what you ordered online. Plus, it was only yesterday that you went shopping. Do you ever sleep? I like to see your boys carry in the groceries. Thanks for the view of how your family shops and eats.
Your sleep question made me laugh; sometimes it doesn't feel like it! I smile when I get suggestions for all the money-saving (read: labor-intensive) things I could do. I only have 24 hours in a day and I've got to prioritize! I'll keep that in mind about watching everyone carry in the groceries. Tom had some fun ideas to try next month, too.
I started watching a couple of your videos this week and kept thinking, "Hmm...wonder where they live? The vegetation looks like where we live..." Then, you mentioned rural Wyoming in this one and I finally looked at your P.O. address. Yeah, we live about 4 hours apart. Too funny. Hello from west-central Wyoming! Now I'm going to have to watch the rest of your videos... 😊
It's nice to meet you, Neighbor! :)
tmw comes the new theme! so excited!!
Andrea Mills you are my hero. I spend half that amount on a way smaller family than yours. I'm going to keep watching and hopefully pick up some tips!
I really enjoy your monthly shopping trips
I enjoy all your videos...and find it very interesting going along on your large family monthly shopping trip.. thank you! :-)
I live in South Africa so I love seeing what food etc you have in USA!!
Love watching your shopping videos :) x
So fun! I love seeing how you organize your shopping. What do you all eat for lunches? Do you cook a big meal or is it sandwiches, etc? Thanks for all you do! I appreciate you and your time to do the videos so much!
Last school year I always made a meal for the whole family. Over the summer I let the kids do more of their own cooking and we stuck with that for this school year. I'm hoping to do a combination next year because there are great things about both ways. The older kids each prepare lunch for themselves and their little buddy. They have to have a main dish (sandwich, ramen, soup, leftovers, chicken, or something like that), a side dish (yogurt, pudding, fruit, carrots, chips, etc.) and a drink (almost always milk.)
Thanks!
Andrea Mills . Which kids are buddied up? Is Asher's Claudia? They seem to be close.
We've now got a couple of 3-Buddy teams. Thomas is Justus' big buddy and Justus is Sophia's big buddy. Asher is Eden's big buddy and Eden in Claudia's big buddy. Judah is Solomon's big buddy. It's birth order.(Judah can't wait for us to have another baby someday because the baby's color will be red like his and the baby will be Solomon's little buddy which will give Judah a 3-Buddy team.) Here's a visual way to see it: *Thomas*, _Asher_, Judah, *Justus*, _Eden_, Solomon, *Sophia* and _Claudia_.
I'm always so amazed at how you fit so many things into one grocery cart! I love these haul videos and enjoy how you take the time to break everything down for us, financially speaking. And, as an added bonus, I get to enjoy the spectacular driving views of your beautiful state! I live in Michigan and don't get a chance to see such wide open spaces... Keep up the great content, Andrea! You're my fave on UA-cam!!!!
These are my favorite videos on UA-cam
I always look forward to Andreas shopping trips especially at Walmart
I love these videos! You have such a way with the camera. I wish you had one of these every week!
You did a great job. I love watching your post. You are amazing.
Hi sweety, I love your videos, you have such a beautiful family, you are truly blessed. I really enjoy your shopping videos. God bless.
The sheer quantity I find facinating for some reason. The last Wed of the month is starting to be a favorite day! Yes about the chicken tenders, so much easier to handle than the full chix breast. My favorite dish is chicken picatta. I would love to see videos of preparing and serving dinners. And....I love circus animal cookies! I put them in the freezer, they are really good cold and crunchy.
In a couple of months I'm going to do cooking videos; one of them will be for our chicken alfredo because it's a real favorite! I'll have to suggest putting those cookies in the freezer to Tom. He really likes them, too.
oh my God I love your post I love the way you shop i shop I love to shop my twins birthday is coming up I was looking at the video and I said that's how I'm going to shop for their birthday half now and wait till the month of their birthday thanks for the idea I always wait to the last moment not this year🖒
Still missing you so much, I loved the shopping videos! 😥
I always look forward to when you post your monthly shop! Your lunch was a great deal!!!
Do you ever shop at restaurant supply stores? You can get much larger portions, like a #10 size can of fruit or case of frozen chicken. Not like Costco, but true bulk.
Hi Andrea, looks like you have a great shopping system. Thanks to you, I tried a monthly shopping trip this last month and I saved money too! I don't know how, but I did, so thank you! :) Just wanted to let you know if you are interested, that you can shop online at Costco.com and the majority of their shipping is free. You can even shop online without a membership, but there is a 5% surcharge on certain items. Not sure how much your savings would be versus Walmart, but I read somewhere that it is the best place to shop for paper goods. Thanks again for all the great tips, look forward to all your videos.
Thanks for the tip!
I love these videos! it's really interesting to see how you budget and manage to organize how products will last throughout the month, truly impressive!💕
Thank you for your channel, information, insight, tips, and laughter. I would have no problem if you chose to sell a cookbook, products etc on your channel as others do - life takes $, we all need it. But what I really thank you for is that unlike several other channels You Do Not Ask For Donations !
I have just unsubscribed to one that does & was appalled that someone is asking others to fund " their lifestyle, their dreams" !
just sickens me - thank you for the positive messages you & your family bring to our crazy world
Thanks for the great video. I appreciate all the time you take to make your videos so nice and organized.
love the way , you get it packed , and away you go x x
I just subscribed! I am in awe of your management skills!! You do a wonderful job!
In a few years you are not going to be able to keep Eden out of the kitchen. She seems to love baking things in her easy bake oven. Just wait until she gets her hands on your oven.
brielynn yep
brielynn yea
I love these videos!
Happy Shopping 👍🏻 love your shopping videos
If you want to save money on snacks, I would recommend getting the Micro popper by Nordic Ware. Target carries it or it can be ordered. You use your own oil and popcorn and can use the microwave to pop popcorn. It has saved us so much money!
great price for grocerys i have found in shopping for my grandkids 15 of them i started buying name brand shoes online for the older ones for not much more than you are paying and they last monthes longer and can be washed and 10 of them are boys famous footwear sears pennys nike reebok outlets online i dont care about the namebrands but they made better sewn seams and such so they just hold up better i spend about 25 to 30 a pair but at times as low as 10 $ a pair
I agree! My mom used to buy shoes and clothes for our family at Walmart(and she still does ). She knew it was going to last for only a short amount of time but because it was inexpensive it was worth it. Now we've learned that shoes and clothes (especially for me) last much longer and only cost maybe $10 more to buy them at Rack Room or Payless and places like that. But I also live in Florida where you're never not close to a big mall or stores specific for shoes so I can definitely see the advantages of buying them at Walmart living in a rural setting
Love to go along shopping with you :) I also do monthly shopping for my household we are 5 , I found it is much better and we save money doing a once a month grocery haul. Thank you Andrea for sharing your beautiful family Love your channel! Hello From California
I love how efficient you are at shopping for the family Andrea!! l have a similar approach. l manage to avoid the supermarket though which is wonderful!! l do miss having a look around though, but it does save money!! l love your necklace, what pretty beads and such a lovely colour. Sending love to you all ❤
Thanks so much for sharing so many details about your shopping trip. It's just fun shopping along with you :-)
Grocery shopping is one of my favorite things to do, so I enjoyed this video! I always like comparing prices based on where people are located. I noticed that some of your cheeses were cheaper than what I'm usually able to find, but your bananas were double what we usually pay! Interesting stuff. Sidenote: I would be interested in watching recipe videos from you if you ever have the time and were ever considering doing them!!
In a couple of months I plan to do a cooking theme, so keep watching!
Thanks for bringing us along with you.
I just love these videos, thank you for posting :) Are you going to film your clothes shopping next month also? I really enjoyed your last one! :) Sophia's little shoes you picked out were adorable!
If all goes according to plan I'll take you all along for the clothes shopping. I'm going to do some sewing this month so I hope to share all that with everyone, too.
Andrea Mills I can't wait 😊
Andrea Mills do you think you would ever to a sewing tutorial? I have a sewing machine that I got from my mother after she passed away and I have no idea on how to use it. Thank you ☺
Totally get the awkward name forgetting. I do that quite often and try to find covert ways of figuring it out. In college there was a guy in one of my first classes that was an acquaintance. He knew my name that semester, but then we didn't have classes together again for the rest of the 4 years. At some point when we passed each other he started calling me a different name. I thought I heard him wrong so I didn't correct him. Then it keep happening and it was too late for me to correct him. It went on for over 3 years and I never could correct him. I guess I felt bad for him. I would start to get nervous every time I would see him coming, lol.
Now _that's_ awkward!
I would like to see how you recycle the bags, and all the packaging. What a wonderful family! God Bless you Andrea RIP.
Walmart needs to make bigger shopping carts lol! you got some good deals. I'm going to have to price compare what we get and see if Walmart is cheaper. we have Costco here so we usually just go there. thanks for sharing!
Awww. My mom died 12/26/10. My mom mom loved Reese's peanut butter cups and kit kat bars.
This was a fun video to watch, love your shopping videos :) You should try using large Ikea blue shopping bags (they're available on Amazon for cheap). They're pretty huge and durable and you wouldn't have to fuss with all those tiny plastic bags (I bet you fit this shopping trip into two, maybe 3 of those Ikea bags...).
Groceries are a lot cheaper where I live. Also I have Aldi. It is so much cheaper than Walmart. I spend half of what you do. I am more fortunate than I thought lol. Good shopping trip!
goode2shuz1 yesss I'm in ga and it is like half that
