Potatoes do not go in the fridge either! Store potatoes in a cool, dark place with good ventilation. Potatoes need airflow to stay fresh, so store them in a container like a basket, open box or breathable bag. The fridge is too cold and will trigger the potatoes' starches to convert to sugar.😊❤
I never put these items in the fridge: tomatoes, avocado, onions, potatoes - just store away from heat sources. Also, a great way to speed up the ripening process of an avocado is to place in a bag with a banana. Tomatoes are so pretty sitting in the windowsill. Hope you get feeling better 🙏
I'm always in awe of American supermarkets, they have so much stuff. I always get my fruit and veg from the farmers market, that way I feel like the farmers get a good deal, or at least a better deal than going to a supermarket. Hope you are all well! Have a lovely week.
I agree Heather that the grocery store and grocery shopping is so fun. It's fun seeing everything and choosing everything, not sure exactly, lol! I look forward to going
Like other root vegetables and tubers, sweet potatos are best stored in a cool, dark place. Not the refrigerator, the refrigerator is actually too cool and can change the cell structure of the potatoes, making them hard in the center with white spots. Refrigeration can diminish the flavor of sweet potatoes as well. Ventilation is another key to properly storing sweet potatoes - another strike against the crisper drawer according to Southern Living. Keep in a paper bag or basket in a kitchen cabinet, pantry or basement. Choose a cabinet that's not near the heat of your oven. They prefer a temperature between 50 to 60 degrees. 😊❤
Love your posting your lovely family!! You have a wonderful life there in Michigan!!! It's a beautiful State!!!! From Michigan, The Great Lakes State!!! 🌲🌲🌲🌲...... ❤❤❤❤....
For your berries, wash them in a baking soda and water and store them in Mason jars. They will last for a few weeks. I have been doing this for few years, and it has saved me a ton of money. If you store lettuce in paper towels in a zip lock bag it will last about 2 weeks. Avacafos store in the fridge in water this slows down the ripening process and thus also works for lemons and limes.
Sumo oranges can be pricey, they are usually in season December to April… but they are seriously the best oranges you can get 😅 easy to peel and each slice is like a pocket of OJ. I’ve also noticed all the strawberries lately look fantastic but turn bad very quickly…
Hi Heather! Just. a couple tips: potatoes and sweet potatoes don't go in the fridge, they should go in a cool dry space, like a drawer or in a bin on your pantry shelves. All citrus shouldn't go in the fridge either, a loose grouping in bowls on your counters or in your pantry. Same with apples, but those aren't as bad in the fridge. Love you guys and your hearts and content ❤
Asking y'all to please continue to pray for me. I'm still having the severe migraines and we're supposed to go this Thursday to find out why. I've heard it's from my eyes, sinuses, and etc. I know God can heal me. Thank you in advance. God Bless.
I am opposite of you this month. I need everything! I have only gotten a couple of things over the last couple of months, so I did a big shop at my local grocery store for on sale items and am planning a big haul at Sam’s also. The sticker shock of prices though. 🤦🏼♀️🤪
Ma Bell. 1:16 😢 you might be experience menopausal symptoms. I suggest you check online and look for some support suppliments. If they dont help, speak to your GP doc and get some low does anti depressants. Don't dismiss emotional symptoms. You deserve the help.
I love that you are watching your sugars. My husband and I are on Keto. I have lost 70#'s and my husband has lost 55. On the yogurt GoGo yogurt, check the sugars. For milk Fairlife is better in the sugar dept. Potatoes are supper high in carbs which turns into sugar. We still eat berries and grapes along with green beans, carrots, cabbage and broccoli. Good luck ladies!!!
Yups! The order we eat food is also important, whenever possible eat carbs first or couple simple carbs or sugar with food rich in fiber so your insulin would not spike so fast and so much.
When you pick a pineapple, pull on the highest center leaf. If it comes out easily then it's ready to eat. If the leaf doesn't come out then it's not ready to eat. Just FYI.
I have seen videos on UA-cam, when you chop the top off a pineapple. You put it in dirt, and it takes 2 to 3 yrs. To produce a pineapple. I'd do it to try, but i don't have the room to do it.
Lots of good vegetables in your shopping trip. There are different areas of refrigerators that are better for some vegetables/fruits than others. I find I can get my fruit and veggies last much longer by finding the best storage solution for each.
@@Justthebells10 how would you like me to send you the information, I typed it out for you, it is 1 1/2 pages. For some background I am 67 years old, was married for 40+ years, had 8 children and all the neighborhood kids stopping by to eat, homeschooled for 23+ years, 4-H, Scouts, youth church activities so I did a lot of cooking and baking and had learned to be frugal.
Take the strawberries and take vinegar, water and baking soda and clean them for 10 to 15 minutes. After cleaning, take the berries and take paper towels and dry them off. Take mason jars and store them in the fridge
I think it’s the temperature settings on the fridge are fridge does the same if u push anything back to far it freezes our waters and juices and milk and eggs be freezing in the fridge but yes I wounder why it does that
I had my freezer too full and it “messed” with the temp sensors. Everything in my fridge froze. We had to take stuff out so it didn’t freeze solid (milk, creamer) I couldn’t buy mayo (it separated) my eggs were freezing. I struggled for several weeks while I investigated fridge brands and prices. I bought a Frigidaire (match the stove) getting new dishwasher and microwave soon. I just got another side by side. Once I transferred and used a bunch from the old freezer, the old fridge started working correctly. Yay! 2 fridges! I can shop once a week and get all his milk in one trip! He drinks 6-7 gallons a week. He had to cut back for that time because I would not go to the store every day.
Hi Mrs Bell love your hauls! I got a tip that if you wrap your lettuce in foil place in your fridge it should last 30 days. I hope this helps! sharing is caring!❤
I think all refrigerators have that one spot in the back where your food freezes. We just bought a new refrigerator because our old refrigerator was freezing the food in that one spot well guess what, the new refrigerator does the same exact thing freezes in that one spot. Reality check didn't need to buy the new one 😬ugh. Talk to my friends and they have the same problem. Be Blessed. 😊🇺🇲
Momma Bell if you are looking to eat more salads buy the salad kits... They come with your dressing and the toppings. Many of them use more cabbage than lettuce which I actually prefer... I don't know what it is about strawberries. Ours always go bad before we eat them too...
The 7 for 7 deal is mix n match aslong as u get 7 items it’ll be $1 each, for example 5 avocados 5 mangos is $10 incase u need less then 7 😊 Also I’d buy ur eggs at meijer to support if they decide to bring some to Illinois ❤
The yellow mangoes are often called honey mangoes, and they are delicious. In my opinion, they are better than traditional mangoes found at the grocery store.
Those Japanese mandarins orange’s that you picked up that were 2 for $5 are always ugly and squishy but let me tell you….they are the BEST oranges you’ll ever eat in your lifetime. They are in season (kinda at the end) but you must try them. They are definitely a little expensive but worth it. You get the best deal at Costco. We went to Japan for 2 weeks in January/February and got to try them there also and they were even sweeter in Japan. You should definitely try them!!
So, apparently the trick for keeping your berries fresh for a few days, just like the day you brought them something to do with putting them in a Mason jar after you clean them with paper towels and putting the lid and the feelers being in the lid on it, you don't have to feel it. Can't feel it typed thing. But you're putting it with that and I guess From someone else that I Apollo had posted about that and it keeps your berries very nice for a few days instead of doing bad like a day or you have to get them home.We've had the same problem.My daughter loves her to make perfect with you.Know playing dinner with yogurt and her fruits.And there's been diamonds when she's gotten into him.The second third day that i've had to throw them away because they were so nasty Check that trick out with the Messenger thing. It might be something that will help you.
Wow, please look up proper storage of fruits & vegetables. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes should never be stored in frig. Cool dry spaces is better.
Potatoes do not go in the fridge either! Store potatoes in a cool, dark place with good ventilation. Potatoes need airflow to stay fresh, so store them in a container like a basket, open box or breathable bag. The fridge is too cold and will trigger the potatoes' starches to convert to sugar.😊❤

Hope you get feeling better 🙏
I also don’t put apples or oranges or cantaloupe in the refrigerator. In addition to the things you were speaking of.
A general refergeration guide is, store your food like it was at the store. If it is refrigerated at the store, refrigerate it.
That would a great idea to have Meijer sell your family eggs !!!! U go girl!!!!!
I'm always in awe of American supermarkets, they have so much stuff. I always get my fruit and veg from the farmers market, that way I feel like the farmers get a good deal, or at least a better deal than going to a supermarket.
Hope you are all well! Have a lovely week.
We always love hearing the differences
I remember as a kids my parents always went to the farmers market in the summer I loved going there but now you can hardly find them
I agree Heather that the grocery store and grocery shopping is so fun. It's fun seeing everything and choosing everything, not sure exactly, lol! I look forward to going

Mama Bell "treat yourself" is probably my two favorite words. I have come to love doing that ❤
Awesome as ever and you be full of joy full of happy tears when she is married you have an awesome family you have a blessed day
Love your posting your lovely family!! You have a wonderful life there in Michigan!!! It's a beautiful State!!!! From Michigan, The Great Lakes State!!! 🌲🌲🌲🌲......
❤❤❤❤....
You have the most beautiful Meijer store. Mine literally has flys swarming around the produce section. Thank you for taking us along 💗
Bolthouse will send you coupons too! Remember they sell, carrots, dressings, juices, smoothies in the produce dept.😊❤
For your berries, wash them in a baking soda and water and store them in Mason jars. They will last for a few weeks. I have been doing this for few years, and it has saved me a ton of money.

Yes they last so long in mason jars
Ok gotcha
Just a tip for you..when you see the 7 for $7 signs, it’s mix and match anything with that sign! And any items after that 7th item, will all be $1.
Oh really. I didnt know that
Potatoes and tomatoes are best kept at room temperature.
Refrigeration of tomatoes is a death sentence. Potatoes also
I refrigerate mine all the time and they do great
Sumo oranges can be pricey, they are usually in season December to April… but they are seriously the best oranges you can get 😅 easy to peel and each slice is like a pocket of OJ. I’ve also noticed all the strawberries lately look fantastic but turn bad very quickly…

With the strawberries 🍓
Wash them and cut them up than store them
In fridge. Eat them within 3 days
My strawberries do the same thing.
I love watching your grocery haul videos! All of our boys are grown and married, so it's just the two of us at home. I miss my grocery store trips!😄
Always womanspalining toward the kids!

Asking y'all to please continue to pray for me. I'm still having the severe migraines and we're supposed to go this Thursday to find out why. I've heard it's from my eyes, sinuses, and etc. I know God can heal me. Thank you in advance. God Bless.
Try eating about 15 to 20 almonds
I do this and believe it or not it really works
Hope you are feeling better soon❤
@@salliejones465 I can't eat any nuts due to Crohn's. Thank you for the well wishes.
Prayers for your healing 🙏
I will pray for you, Alma. ❤
🙏 🙏 🙏 hope your migrains go away soon!!!
That is my favorite tea. The zero sugar sweet tea is better than sweet tea.
Miss Heather I am so sorry y'all have had such an emotional week. 😢 God is healing.
I love that tea. We buy the Barely Sweet version. So yummy!!
Give Chobani a call for coupons.😊❤
I am opposite of you this month. I need everything! I have only gotten a couple of things over the last couple of months, so I did a big shop at my local grocery store for on sale items and am planning a big haul at Sam’s also. The sticker shock of prices though. 🤦🏼♀️🤪
Don't forget chop the top of pineapple and plant to grow.
Ma Bell. 1:16 😢 you might be experience menopausal symptoms. I suggest you check online and look for some support suppliments. If they dont help, speak to your GP doc and get some low does anti depressants. Don't dismiss emotional symptoms. You deserve the help.
I use blue and then black cohosh as I got older. Holistic treatment.
I will thank you
#JustTheBells10 As ALWAY'S, We LOVE Your Grocery Shopping Haul's🛒🛍️ THANK YOU For ALWAY'S Takeing Us Grocery Shopping WITH You🎉
The gold tea diet is the bomb 😅

My favorite is Cara Cara oranges!
My dog loves frosty paws
He did a great job but tell him not to store the potatoes and onions together they will rot faster
No potatoes in fridge either
Praying for you and your family. Seeing your videos makes me miss Michigan even more! I want to plan a trip out there this summer.
I love your wonderful family so much❤❤❤
When you pick a pineapple, pull on the highest center leaf. If it comes out easily then it's ready to eat. If the leaf doesn't come out then it's not ready to eat. Just FYI.
Love this channel!
Thank you
I really like mixing salmon or tuna with avocados.
Praying for you mom Bell.
You need to do couponing online you would save so much money in every store you shop in.❤❤❤
Good shopping video! I wish you all the best Bell Family! 🍀💚🪻
I keep potatoes and tomatoes in the fridge, I buy vine tomatoes and find keeping them on the vine helps them stay fresh/good 😊
Hang in there sweetheart ❤ I'm praying for you and your family. Thankyou for your wonderful videos.
I love to grocery shop also
Love grocery hauls! That store looks like a super Walmart it has more than just grocery’s. 😱😱😱
I have seen videos on UA-cam, when you chop the top off a pineapple. You put it in dirt, and it takes 2 to 3 yrs. To produce a pineapple. I'd do it to try, but i don't have the room to do it.
I feel you sister. Having a really bad work week. I will be praying that you will get through the storm

Love u showing before and after w fridges
Those Sumos are great
I love this!
The ratio yogurt is expensive but it is soooo good! Great for low carb lifestyle!
I like to have those when I’m low on calories or fat for the day. Otherwise I like the two good brand for when I’ve had enough fat and calories.
Heather u are amazing.. love your videos.. such a fun loving family ❤❤❤❤
So nice Mama, also Mochi is said with a soft C sound, like when you say (chick) love your videos so much.
Love shopping with you. You find the best deals. Wish we had a Meijer here. Have a great day!
Lots of good vegetables in your shopping trip. There are different areas of refrigerators that are better for some vegetables/fruits than others. I find I can get my fruit and veggies last much longer by finding the best storage solution for each.

Awesome haul I’ll be filming a grocery haul today
I think it’s the temperature settings on the fridge are fridge does the same if u push anything back to far it freezes our waters and juices and milk and eggs be freezing in the fridge but yes I wounder why it does that

Don't put tomatoes in refrigerator
Why can I ask?
@@RICKELLE13 changes the texture of the tomato it makes them mealy
Hi Mrs Bell love your hauls! I got a tip that if you wrap your lettuce in foil place in your fridge it should last 30 days. I hope this helps! sharing is caring!❤
I do that with celery. I rinse it, dry it, trim it, and then wrap it in foil. It lasts a really long time. I'll have to try it with lettuce!
You people need to stop telling her what to do with her groceries. She is an adult and grown kids I think she can take care of her stuff.
😂 love the comment about the cheese lol
Pomelos are delicious! They are sweeter than a grapefruit.
I think all refrigerators have that one spot in the back where your food freezes.
We just bought a new refrigerator because our old refrigerator was freezing the food in that one spot well guess what, the new refrigerator does the same exact thing freezes in that one spot. Reality check didn't need to buy the new one 😬ugh.

Interested in your homemade cheez its
unsweetned sweet tea too funny
13:48 How do you store your strawberries when you get home?
New Subscriber ❤Sent to you from Amy Maryon 😊❤👍
Love these videos in Oklahoma we don’t have that store !!
I worked for a company who sold to Meijer. One of my co-workers called it “My-jer”! Eeek! Like nails on a chalkboard!
Large groceries haul today

Ohh don't put the tomatoes in the fridge. It ruins the flavor 😮😢
Wash strawberries and let dry on paper towel. Put in a glass canning jar and they will last a lot longer
Keep in fridge
dont get lettuce, get the bagged salad kits, those are usually sooooo good! less work and you will love them
