I love all your videos, but never comment til now. Thanks for continuing to share when we are all struggling so much at the moment. You are making more of a difference than you realize. 💕
Hi Jen, love your channel, I do kids birthday parties dress as princesses and stuff, I live in Boston kind of a hot spot with the virus so all the events I was booked for these past 2 months have been cancelled but one of the things they started doing is gathering friends and family and do drive by's for the birthday person, they all make signs and honk and decorate cars and if it is safe to pull over they have everyone sing happy birthday. Just an idea, sometimes princess show up and sing to the child at a safe distance, I actually just did Wonder Woman for 21 year old twins. Of course your daughter is too old for the princesses but the drive by's are fun and a surprise. Stay safe.
You can chop the Jalapeños and freeze them in small portions. Nice in meat sauces to introduce a little heat in food for kids. My kids never knew I put hot peppers in the sauce, they gradually got use to it.
Hi Jen! Those popsicles are so good! I haven't had them in forever. Clearance naan! Hi, Christine!🤣 I love your hauls. I haven't physically shopped in months. Snow and wheelchairs don't get along. My friend shops for me. I keep my list basic since I'm not doing it myself. Looking forward to a time when I can go and browse myself silly!
I’m a recent Aldi convert. Two of my favorites so far: the brioche hamburger buns and the gourmet shredded cheeses (Gouda is one and Swiss & Gruyere is the other). I made a fried egg sandwich with the Gouda on a toasted and buttered brioche bun. Ho-ly delicious.
I have not wore a drop of makeup since march 21st!!! Its been amazing lol I'm going to look like a different person when I go back to work next week!!!!
I signed up for variety fun last month thanks to your suggestion and used your coupon code. I imagine our second box will show up soon. Our kids enjoyed the surprise and I feel like for the price you can't beat the variety of things you get. There's not a lot to look forward to these days, so this has worked well for us. Will probably keep it up at least for the summer.
I love the spinach wraps! I use to make steak fajitas and Mexican rice and I would fill the wraps up and wrap them in foil for taking the kids on picnics! 🧺 They are sooo good and really hold up well. Also those Funyuns 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Don't have Aldi but was at WinCo 2 days ago and the only shortage was flour, yeast and paper products. Milk is iffy here. Most of it on use by date for the next day. WinCo did have some a week out this time though. Enough dairy to make a big batch of Tikka Masala to freeze some.
We did have major shortages for over a month but that is getting better, except for sanitary wipes and candy. Candy?? The whole candy aisle was totally last night. Also any type of ramen noodles or tortillas are gone. Haven’t been refilled for a long time.
Love that you finished the haul with Finish haha. We are exactly the same way with drinks in our house. We run out of drinks before anything else! Waters, soft drinks, juice, everything lol. To me, having a variety of drinks is just as important as having a variety of food! Love watching your channel!
CreativeChaos1739 that’s so funny, we buy barely any drinks. We only drink water, iced tea and coffee here. So just tea bags and coffee grounds and we are good to go
If you buy online for Walmart grocery pick up, there's still a limit on most things. It took me 4 days to get a pick up slot after I placed my order. Then they were out of butter. Still no bread flour, etc. Very frustrating. Also still no tp or disinfectant wipes! That's Walmart, and Walgreen's. I checked there when I went to pick up a prescription.
I loved your video Jen. I always love to see what you buy at the store and it gives me ideas for meal plans. Also I bought a KitchenAid Stand Mixer from QVC and it will be delivered this week. I am so excited. The color I picked is called Toffee Delight. I will send you a picture of it when I get it. Can’t wait!
Those Great Value Queso chips are pretty good. I bought some just to see and was surprised at how cheesy and fresh they were....TFS! I love your videos!❤❤
Hey Jen!!! Just wanted you to know I thought your pic on Instagram about your hair was stunning!!!!!! I will definitely send a card!!! Hope you and the family are doing well!!! 😘
Living vicariously through your hauls and adding to my ever-growing grocery list. I am going to try and make it one more week. I can make it another 2 weeks if I resort to only canned fruits and veggies. Although, I am sure I’ll have a mutiny from the tiny-humans, lol! Glad to hear that you were able to slow down this weekend.
Always 💗 your videos! But I may or may not be jealous that you can get paper towels. That’s the only thing I am having trouble with here in KC. My stores are slowly getting restocked but I feel prices are higher on many things. Just to give you a chuckle, I can’t remember if my Hy-Vee had a limit on eggs, but they were selling them at 2.99 a dozen. 🤦🏼♀️😜
Jen, I use Green Mountain coffee all of the time, however, I have to say, I hope you like really really strong coffee because the Dark Roast is too strong for me! Great haul.
I had to wave when i saw your little boy waiving at the camera. 🤣🤣. grocery pick up times are non existent here and regardless usually if they don't have the product they dont substitute,. It's easier if I go in so if I need to make changes to the plans I am able to.
Aww what day is Keira's bday? My daughter is gonna be 24 on the 19th..omg!!😳😳 yea im old..lol i think i signed up for fetch now do u scan each receipt? I gotta read about it again...
Hi Jen. I just watched your Aldi/Walmart haul. I went to Aldi's today. Surprisingly, it was already picked over. Wednesday is their big delivery day so I was hoping to see more of a selection. Have you thought about a "Virtual Birthday Party " for your daughter? My friend recently did that for her granddaughter. She baked cupcakes for everyone and delivered them to the different houses and everyone attended virtually. She said it was a great time. Which way do you spell your daughter's name? Also, I didn't find your p.o. box. I would like to send her a birthday card. Have a great night!
Hi, interested in trying the variety snack box. You mentioned leaving a coupon code but I don’t see it? I may be overlooking it. Thanks!! Great video BTW!!
Hi Jen!! I think you are beautiful with and without makeup on. Great haul and meal plan. Everything on the meal plan sounds delicious. Our stores are pretty full except for a few items. Some items are limited. Hope y'all have a great evening/ day. Hope y'all continue to stay safe.
Happy Birthday to your daughter...almost a teenager! I will definitely send a card! If you feel so inclined my daughter is graduating from high school with no walk or party... Madison Pucka P.O. BOX 124 Muse, PA 15350!
Hi Jen! I would love to send a birthday card to Kiera but here in Australia 🇦🇺 the post office are not accepting mail that is going to North America or the UK and Europe. My granddaughter is the same age as Kiera and I wonder whether the girls would like to become pen friends (old fashioned way with writing a letter and posting) after this pandemic is over and mail starts being delivered. Madison would love to have an American pen friend and if Kiera is keen I will get Madi to write to her. They could swap stickers and bits and pieces that fit in an envelope. With love and hugs from Australia 🇦🇺🐨🇦🇺💖🐨🇦🇺
Hi Jen. Do you know if Keira has a favorite character from the Harry Potter world? I will be so happy to send a card , and i hope it will reach there in time for her birthday.
come on Jen, time for a real challenge. I challenge you to do a canned meat recipe. Grilled Spam and pineapple slices don't count. Pick your meat and show and tell...lol Have fun. be safe and well to you and your family.
Wow - looks like I will have to give Aldi's another try! There's one in the next town north of me. It's about 27 miles each way, so I only go up there once a month. I do my monthly Sam's Club up there as well. Last month, for the first time ever, I used Sam's Club pick-up. It was such a time-saver! I'll do that again next month and add a stop at Aldi's as well. I won't forget to put a quarter in my purse for the cart! LOL I NEVER carry cash. LOL Oh! And we have been trying out the Great Value brand chips. THey are cheap and usually an okay chip. My hubby likes the Queso type and my youngest likes the ones that are a knock-off of Funyuns. Thanks for all you do, Jen!
Ohh...I'll have to try that cherry limeade drink from Aldi's. We've been buying the Sparkling Ice brand, which are around $1 each. My husband loves them so we have it on subscribe & save through Amazon. lol
I love all your videos, but never comment til now. Thanks for continuing to share when we are all struggling so much at the moment. You are making more of a difference than you realize. 💕
Susan Ford thank you Susan!
My favorite thing ever is when Murphy's head just appears out of nowhere when youre talking to the camera 😂hes like um im in the family too,so cute!❤️
Hi Jen. "Aisle of shame." I burst out laughing. You truly do entertain me, sweet girl.
God bless your family and peace be with you. Stay safe during this time of our lives.

Pro tip for the fish fry mix, add unseasoned panko breading to add extra crunch to your batter. For less mess mix together in a ziplock 👍🏽
I’m a recent Aldi convert. Two of my favorites so far: the brioche hamburger buns and the gourmet shredded cheeses (Gouda is one and Swiss & Gruyere is the other). I made a fried egg sandwich with the Gouda on a toasted and buttered brioche bun. Ho-ly delicious.

No makeup everyday over here 👋 love your videos so much, Jen! I truly look forward to them! Thank you for sharing your days
Same here. I haven't worn make up in over 6 years.
Can we just acknowledge how close you are approaching 100k 🙌🥰🇨🇦
Conner's soo cute!! Oh and that dog!!😁😁
Coconut lime is my favorite!!! I love Walmart brand candles. They burn well and I think they are just as good as expensive brands.
Thanks Jen! I like the nail polish you have on! Glad to hear you took some time off from doing videos. Blessings ~ Sidney

Allyson D I’m glad you liked it :)
How long did it take for you to get it after ordering? I thought it was to be here in 3-5 days, but it hasn't even shipped yet.
@@lkav1313 I'm guessing because of covid19 things are going a little slower. It was at least a week and it came in an Amazon box!
That Lewis's bread is the best bread made!!! The Hawaiian sweet bread makes amazing french toast!!!!
I love the spinach wraps! I use to make steak fajitas and Mexican rice and I would fill the wraps up and wrap them in foil for taking the kids on picnics! 🧺 They are sooo good and really hold up well. Also those Funyuns 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks for sharing. Tip, you can chop and freeze the left over jalapenos for future meals. Although poppers are so yummy.
Sweet butter lettuce is my all time favorite!
My family loved that broccoli!
The orange and grapefruit AHA are very good.

The spicy cheese “snacking sticks” are amazing ! You have to try them ! 😁
We did have major shortages for over a month but that is getting better, except for sanitary wipes and candy. Candy?? The whole candy aisle was totally last night. Also any type of ramen noodles or tortillas are gone. Haven’t been refilled for a long time.
Someone is buying all the candy lol!
Jen Chapin the aisle is still cleaned out. They haven’t refilled the shelves yet. Weird.
I love the broccoli bake is freaking awesome! I have a bag in my freezer right now.

Land of Lincoln I think it’s odd too because I’ve seen the same thing, out of stock online then you go in the store and there is plenty.
Awesome haul! Love your menu ideas! ☺️

Barbara Johnson exciting!!!
I like clear water I do like the cotton candy one to
Love your Aldi haul! New subscriber. I’m gonna have to check out that Hawaiian bread
I don't often shop at Aldi. The produce looked great! Lol... nice belch at 19:16 😳.
Those Great Value Queso chips are pretty good. I bought some just to see and was surprised at how cheesy and fresh they were....TFS! I love your videos!❤❤
U say cheesy huh 😍
YES! True Lime Black Cherry! Come to the dark side...
I’ve missed your vids! Thank you!!
Hey Jen!!! Just wanted you to know I thought your pic on Instagram about your hair was stunning!!!!!! I will definitely send a card!!! Hope you and the family are doing well!!! 😘
Happy birthday 🎂🎈🎈🎈🎉🎉🎈
I love the flavored Smart Water. We got those at Aldi as well, I’m definitely going back for more. My daughter enjoyed the Kiwi Stawberry flavor.
True Lime Watermelon Aqua is my favorite! I like their “energy” flavors too.
Have you tried the beef bacon yet??? I’m so intrigued about that. I wonder if I can find that at a store near me next time I try to go. 💕❤️💕😘👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Beef bacon is delicious, better than turkey bacon to me.
I made some for adam but didn’t try it. I didn’t think it got very crispy.
Living vicariously through your hauls and adding to my ever-growing grocery list. I am going to try and make it one more week. I can make it another 2 weeks if I resort to only canned fruits and veggies. Although, I am sure I’ll have a mutiny from the tiny-humans, lol!
Glad to hear that you were able to slow down this weekend.
Luv ur nail polish!🥰
You should do a cheddar jalapeño bread I saw it on Pinterest I haven’t tried it myself yet
Great video, thanks!!
The Lewis Nutty Oat bread is so good! I think the drink mix is on Ibotta.
Beef bacon usually has a completely different flavor profile then pork bacon. Beef bacon usually tastes more like a pastrami.
Our aldi here in Minnesota hasn’t had flour in several weeks
Love your videos.
Hi Jen, maybe I missed how much your shopping haul cost. I think food in the US is cheaper than in Australia? Food is also a little different!
Jen I am looking for a link thru Amazon for the colander you use. Could you link it for me please. Thank You

Happy early birthday! When is her bday? Mine is May 2
your walmart has so many clear american falvors! mine only has like 6 flavors the only new one is tangerine mango (which is amazing)
Anna Mae Geurts oh I didn’t see that one!
@@Jen-Chapin it's delicious! If your store gets it I definitely recommend!
Keira's card is on its way. I hope it gets there for her birthday.
I tried the cauli bake and it was 👎🏻👎🏻
But the SKYR yogurt is soooooo good!!!! 😍
Jen, I use Green Mountain coffee all of the time, however, I have to say, I hope you like really really strong coffee because the Dark Roast is too strong for me! Great haul.
Denise Fonda I love strong coffee!
If you have an apple stick it in a paper bag with the bananas separated, it will help them ripen.
Jen, I love your nail polish. What brand and color is that?
Sheri Moore hi! It’s gel polish from Ulta, I have a uv light :)
@@Jen-Chapin Is it Ulta brand? What color? It's fantastic.
I saw those fish sticks today but I left them there. Please let us know how the kids liked them. I was at Aldi today too!
Closing in on 100,000 yipi.
Hi Jen! Carrie Elle doesn’t seem to carry that meal planner anymore. I’m so sad! I love mine and need a second one soon. Just an FYI!
Amy Bennett yeah unfortunately they go in and out of stock :(
Where did you get your deep freezer
Menards, about 8 years ago, its been awhile!
Jen check out the cookbook called Yum & Yummer by Greta Podleski - it's really good!
Lol scored the Naan

Sherri 75 what’s the one that starts with the R. Raven claw I think?
Hey Jen! Are those plantains? That might be why they're so green
CatyDID System I kinda thought that too but no!

Happy Early birthday Kara! I posted a science video your kids may enjoy doing. Blessings!
I kind of jealous you get all of the food you need, my delivery from Walmart was short and am missing 3 dinners ugh. Great video..
Christine Kroll dang :(
The planner isn’t available on the website .. only printable 😭
Holley B dang! Sometimes they go in and out of stock
Use cornmeal with you fish I’m telling you girl lol it’s so bomb with hot sauce not the package breading
Today I was able to get a Wal-Mart pick up time for the first time since March 5th. A card will be on the way tomorrow.
Funny, I got that box of icee pops. My daughter didn’t like them. I, on the other hand devoured them lol
OH MAN MY FAV COFFEE. MY ALDI, NC, DOESNT CARRY MY BRAND. TRY GREEN MT NANTUCKET. ITS THE VERY BEST

come on Jen, time for a real challenge. I challenge you to do a canned meat recipe. Grilled Spam and pineapple slices don't count. Pick your meat and show and tell...lol Have fun. be safe and well to you and your family.
Buy Hallmark cards. They’re made in Kansas. Buying them keeps people employed (like me!).
Oh, I buy Hallmark cards for my parents. They are available here in the Philippines but at the malls which are closed for this pandemic
So jealous of the Funyuns....they are impossible to find here in Canada 🙄
I don’t have any birthday cards but we do have amazon. I’ll dm you on Twitter.
I have a week off and longing a new video, been watching all your old content so if you get random comments on old videos never mind 😜
Sabine B haha ok!

Wow - looks like I will have to give Aldi's another try! There's one in the next town north of me. It's about 27 miles each way, so I only go up there once a month. I do my monthly Sam's Club up there as well. Last month, for the first time ever, I used Sam's Club pick-up. It was such a time-saver! I'll do that again next month and add a stop at Aldi's as well. I won't forget to put a quarter in my purse for the cart! LOL I NEVER carry cash. LOL Oh! And we have been trying out the Great Value brand chips. THey are cheap and usually an okay chip. My hubby likes the Queso type and my youngest likes the ones that are a knock-off of Funyuns. Thanks for all you do, Jen!
Last time I went to Aldi they were not taking quarters! 😃
Same! No quarters needed.
Ohh...I'll have to try that cherry limeade drink from Aldi's. We've been buying the Sparkling Ice brand, which are around $1 each. My husband loves them so we have it on subscribe & save through Amazon. lol
