NEW YEAR $460 Once a Month Grocery Haul + $83 Household Supplies
This Could've Been A HUGE GROCERY HAUL | November Groceries From Walmart | Aldi | KwikTrip
And you know what Jennifer, those who leaves those comments knows EXACTLY what you mean too. You are so kind and caring to your children. Hope you had a fantastic holiday!
She’s not hiding it from the kids she’s hiding it from herself haha I do it all of the time. She’s the best mom on this internet. How anyone can leave her a negative comment is beyond me. I hope I never see one aimed at Jennifer! It will bring out my defensive side.
Right if you don't put it up, they will eat in the first couple of days. People just look for something to say
I look for words to use too. And I always tell people that God is in control. So in that light, I’m always saying “Walk forward ! “
I always say keep swimming! People always have something negative to say about any given thing said, keep swimming!, I enjoy watching your videos and love you and your family!
I love both of these responses. 😁
I do the same thing. Lots of people do. Otherwise when they see treats or snacks they eat them up too quick
As a nurse who has worked in a Mental health facity for over 40 years i would like to thank you for getting the message out that there is help for any mental problems.
Thank you for all you do for those in need.
Thank you for your caring service for people with I'll mental health. It's a subject that is very close to home. ❤
ill
Excepting old age 84
You could do meatless pasta , potato soup broccoli cheese soup , fried rice , veggie omelette , tuna casserole, salmon patties , all kinds of meatless meals . I cut my biscuits in half or thirds and fry up what we call donut holes they are so good our Chinese restaurant here in town makes them lol we just roll in plain sugar or cinnamon sugar . Beautiful table . Thank you !
The table is a treasure!!!
That’s how my “sisters” dad would make homemade donuts. He would use the cheep off brand biscuits. This was back in early 2000’s. He used the single ones.
The beeping is the crosswalk!!! Helps blind people know when to cross safely!!
Some people just have to say something it makes them feel better. I guess no one would ever believe that about you. I respect your parenting.
Thank you 😊
I think the beeping was the crosswalk. ❤
My aunt made tube biscuit doughnuts, but used a thimble to make the holes. When the biscuits got bigger, she would use a cap from a lemon juice bottle or something that size. I always liked the holes the best!
I understand when you say hide, I use to hide food when my now three grown kids where young. On a Saturdays when they ask for certain food but I didn't have the money at that moment, they was able to look in the freezer and find that item and boy was they happy they then say to me "mom you're so smart" lol.💖💖💖💖keep doing what works for you and yours. Happy New Year!
That’s a great story.
Hello nice jail an yesbive been following outdoor dad for anlong time... ❤
Love the table! Beautiful! So fun to hear the story:)
For the first time at my Aldi, I did see some $1 off stickers on some pre made food.
Hi Jennifer I live watching you Sweet Friend and Your beautiful Family Happy New Year hope it amazing new year for You all God bless you all Much love Cathy 🙏🏻✝️☮️📿💐❤️🌹🌺🍀💙💜💗
Jennifer you are and Amazing Mom and Wife So loving and caring God bless you All much love Cathy 🙏🏻✝️☮️📿🥰🐕💐🌺🌹🌹🌺💐💗💜💙❤️🍀
We went to Aldi last week and found so many stickers plus 50% off sausages!
That is awesome!
We love ALDIs hash brown patties. We put them in our toaster on high x 2. So total cooking time is ten minutes and they come out crunchy and brown.
I like that idea. We'll have to try that.
I can never find those stickers at my Aldi's
That's a bummer. It helps make every dollar count.
I enjoyed your table story. Warren did a great job refinishing it, not to mention it is such a meaningful gift. My husband refinished a library table he was given when we were first married. We did not have much then and it is still my favorite piece of furniture. On a side note,I prefer quotes and my favorite one is from Saint Mother Theresa: Do small things with great love”
I used to buy the ham beans 15 bean soup and it was good. Then I saw Ragun Cajun 10 bean soup and it is delicious.
Hi, Jennifer. I also “hid” food when my son was a teenager. I understand that statement. My son ate everything in sight. He would have a bowl of cereal in my mixing bowl with a half a box of cereal and a half a gallon of milk. I used to wonder where he put the food, he was 6’2 and skinny. I miss those days. Blessings to you all.
Thanks for sharing!!
My sister sent me Godiva chocolates one year and I hid them from my grandchildren - they have their own candy- then I couldn’t find them for the longest lol
Oh no 🙉
I took your advice and checked out Outdoor Boys - loved it!!
I grew up on those donuts & still make them for special treats for my kids & grands. My mom always made them with the little canned biscuits, which I can usually find at Kroger. We liked them best with powdered sugar. And as for Outdoor Boys, we like watching them! Our grands love some of their older Nerf war videos. We like watching all his adventures. Happy New Year!
My word is always focus
That’s a good one.
Good morning all happy Wednesday morning and happy new year to all of you guys and I hope that 2024 brings you a lot of love and happiness
Happy new year 🎆
You are a wonderful mom, always cooking & buying groceries for your family. Your children are beautiful & healthy & certainly do not look deprived in any way! 😂
Our Aldi in Omaha, Ne has had their Sharp Cheddar block for $1.29! I bought 10 and shreeded and froze half of them.
You deserved a night out after that shopping!
Happy new year Jennifer and family! Have a great 2024! 🎉❤
Happy new year!! 🎆
The donuts I use to get from my mom and grannie. My kids and grandson love cinninnam sugar for there flavor. The outdoors boy been watching for years. His family all live in Alaska and his sister is a author. Ihave read some of her books. The aldi vegetable and fruit seem to go bad faster. I always hide food or write on it if its on my meal plan. Have a blessed 2024.
Funny story. I was watching an old video of yours. Christmas Day and Warren and one of the boys were watching Vice Grip Garage. You said, "Nothing says Christmas like Vice Grip Garage!". So this Christmas I look over and guess what my hubby was watching? Yep, Vice Grip Gatrage!!
Perfect. 😃
December 30th (or New Year's Eve Eve) was my 23rd wedding anniversary! We went out for dinner that night, too! 😊 Happy New Year!!
Congratulations!! I hope you are blessed with many many more years together.
the grapes are not filthy they have a natrual bloom on them and please dont wash them in vinegar just rinse them with cold water ask me how i know i used to pick grapes when i was younger
im from california home of the grapes
Most fruits and vegetables are dirty at the store regardless of what they are. Random people touch them to put then in different bags to get the amount they want at the store. Vinegar kills any germs, so it's not a bad idea.
I hide things all the time! The trouble Is I forget where I hid them lol. I'm sure that I can't be the only one. My grown son rumages through snacks faster than I can buy them. So yes. I hide and lose things all the time.❤
I’ve misplaced Christmas candy not to find it until Valentine’s Day 😁
@@acountrylife 😂
I have 5 kids, 3 of them boys! I not only hid the food, but put a lock on the larger pantry with the only key in my possession or they would run through the food SO fast! Whoever would leave a negative comment about you “hiding” food either has not a shred of common sense or have no kids/especially boys! Get a life people and mind your own business!!!
Happy New Year!
So many channels are doing the better help "sponsorships"
I love watching the outdoor boys. They live in Alaska and he was in the military.
I learn today you are a Def Leppard fan. How did I miss that? Happy 2024 to you and yours.
Happy New Year! Great grocery haul. I'm old enough to be your mother and when I was growing up and still do have fish/seafood on Fridays and I'm not Catholic. I pray that this year will be a safe and blessed one for all of us!
My 16 year old son is notorious for making Ramen at all hours- that and the individual chicken pot pies! Breakfast. Snack, doesn't matter! I love your grocery hauls. Happy new year to you and your family, Jennifer!
Hi Jennifer. Always enjoy your grocery hauls. The Cosmic Crisp apples are the best. Happy New Year! Beautiful job on the table Warren!! Hugs.
We are loving the Cosmic apples. Happy new year 🎊
We are meat free on Fridays all year long too
❤Jennifer I hide food and goodies from myself. Happy New year Brockman family. ❤🙏
Your table looks so beautiful! Warren did a great job!
The white residue on grapes is called bloom.. it is naturally occurring and protects the fruit!
The donut thing is very common. I'm 60 and remember eating them as a small child. It was a cheap sweet treat when wop biscuits were a dime. Still make them occasionally
Peter made them yesterday morning and they were really good.
I love the story about the table. The things the men in our lives do for us❤️
I did same thing when my kids were growing up; that way certain foods were not eaten all at once! 😊
Love that!
Hey Jennifer! I'm a Leppard fan as well! That surprised me! So cool though! Happy New Year! ~Angel
I saw them in concert-probably 1994.
Went to their Pyromania concert in Dallas in 1983...I'm old! Lol!
I use the Walmart app in the store. I will make my list by filling my cart with the items I need before I go and remove the items from my cart as I grab them while shopping in the store. I love that!
That's a great idea! I’ll definitely do that next time.
That's what I do put it in the app and then delete as you get the item and if for some reason you want to keep the items you can put it in save for later part of the app.
I never thought of that. Genius!!!❤
❤ love Outdoor boys, been watching the channel for a long time !!
I enjoyed this video immensely. You were right when you promised a little bit of everything. Great deals in this haul, but I was most surprised by the mushroom purchase lol. I think the creamy chicken recipe was one of 5 new dinners you tried & was a big hit. Have a "better" New Year to all the Brockmans! Love, the Gordon Girls
I love this long video and you chatting. Hope we all have a better year as well. Thank you
Oh my goodness, that table is older,lucky you Jennifer ❤
Love the outdoor boys!! Great content! So funny too.
Absolutely love your channel. All the recipes,meals of the week and grocery hauls are my favorite. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year.
Hi s.belton 👋 thank you so much.
@@acountrylife Will be making your Hug & Kiss Soup this weekend. My favorite. Double Yumm!!
I make the doughnuts you are talking about. But with the jumbo biscuits, I split them into two halves. So that they are not too big. I take them to church Sunday mornings, and everyone likes them.
Hi Jennifer, wanted to let you know that I made your cranberry nut bread over the holidays and it came out fantastic. My husband already wants me to make another loaf. He couldn't decide if he liked the orange or the cranberry in the bread. I loved everything!!!!
Love love all of your videos.. The longer the better!
Thankyou all for your great video’s, especially to see you Warren, it wouldn’t be the same without a glimpse, sorry to encroach on your date night! Happy New Year. 🥰🇬🇧🎇
Thanks 👍
Jennifer, you are so kind and loving to your family! Happy New Year!
Thank you. Happy New Year Mary.
"Clutter up my hips"😂 That was good:)
Hi Jennifer! We make the donuts from biscuits too. I’d recommend cutting the biscuit in half - depth wise. Otherwise the biscuit is too thick and it will be doughy inside and crispy on the outside. Also, a bottle cap makes great hole maker then you can fry up the donut holes too.
I’ve started canning potatoes just a few years ago and we love them. My favorite way to serve them is drained and add butter and parsley and heat up. Yummy
Sounds great!
Can you film the creamy chicken in the crock pot that you use the parmesan cheese in thank you
Hopefully I remember. I'll probably make it next week.
YES..love Outdoor Boys
Hello Jennifer and Happy New Year! I might not be one who usually boasts 'First Comment!' but whoohoo...kinda first/early!
I love it 😍
❤thanks for sharing your haul. love you had time to share table story with us
My husband and I love watching the outdoor boys. I'm pretty sure they now live in Alaska. He makes some fancy dinners when they are camping. He makes some kind of bread dough and fries it over the campfire ❤ Happy New Year to you and your sweet family!!
Yes, I’ve seen a few of his giant stir fries while camping.
Happy New Year Jennifer, Warren and sweet family! I hope 2024 will be a very blessed year for everyone. 🙏🎉
I love Def Leppard - hubby and I have spent 40 years going to their concerts
Wow!!
Good Morning dear Jennifer and Family ❤❤
I eat meat free Roman Catholic
That sound of beeping was crosswalk beeping sensor that sounds so people with sight impairment, so you know that you’re still able to cross the street
Thank you. Shows just how country I am. 😀
Happy New Year to you and your family, Jennifer. All God's blessings to you!❤❤
I’m 62 years old and my mom made biscuits donuts all the time just let them cool a little bit before you shake them in the powder sugar or it sort of melts into it some people take a little cutter and cut out in the middle of the biscuitsand use that to make donut holes instead of putting your finger in it and making a hole
I love your videos! I always find something that relates to me. It helps that I am a central WI native!!
But the Def Lepard comment was AWESOME! We must be cut from similar cloth and I know we are close in age, and if we knew each other personally, we would probably be great friends!!
Looking forward to spending 2024 with you and your family via YT.
Hi Cyndi, you can take me out of high school, but you can't take the high school girl out of me. That's when I discovered Def Leppard and I've like the music ever since.
Our Aldi had all their bread marked down also
My husband grew up eating the biscuit donuts. Once in awhile we make them. The cosmic apples are one of our favorites. They are similar to honey crisp.
Happy new year to you and your family. Like your word “better” can’t fail to much with that one. But can jump right back on the track.🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm a huge Def Leppard fan too!!!
Hello from Northern Minnesota. Do you guys have any snow? We just got about 1 1/2 inches yesterday. Today we got rain. What a strange winter it has been. 🥶 I really enjoy your videos and your grocery hauls. We love that 15 bean soup! 😋 I hope that you had an excellent New Year.
❤️🫶🏻😘🙏🏼🥶☀️
No snow right now. We had a little in early December, but it melted quickly.
The table is beautiful!
Grown-up Methodist the guys would do a dinner and they do chili with those fried donuts and I love them with cinnamon sugar so you’ll have to try those too if you’d like some and sugar because they are so good. I look forward to that dinner every year.
New year’s blessings
Thank you 😊
Happy New Year cranfam ❤🎉❤
Thank you for the Outdoor Boys channel recommendation. My boys will love it!
Happy new year! 🎆
Great Great Grocery Haul.🍇🍍🍕 Blessings and Happy New Year to u and you're Beautiful Family Jennifer. 🙏❤🌷🌷
Happy new year!!
Oh my my mom been doing that for years making donuts out of canned biscuits you can also use like a cap coat thing and make donut holes she had like a biscuit cutter that had that little circle thing on the inside we used it can you put powdered sugar on them you can make a chocolate syrup
your table looks so beautiful, how sweet of warren❤HAPPY NEW YEAR.,
Happy New Year from Sri Lanka 🎉
Happy new year!! 🎊
Happy to see your face pop up!!!!!
Hi Teresa 😀
We are empty nesters but I "save food back" for quick meals in an emergency! Frozen pizzas have saved the day many times!
Hi Jennifer, we just went to Aldis today. I was going to get the English muffins. I totally forgot them. I love to make a copy cat McDonald's breakfast egg McMuffin. I use 1 tablespoon of bacon bits, Heat that up and the spray pan because eggs will stick to the pan, add 2 scrambled eggs cook both sides, put a piece of American cheese on half, and fold over twice and butter warm muffin and put egg on it, it's really super yummy. Great hauls. I went to both stores today too. ❤
We enjoy at home egg McMuffins too. I like your idea of using the bacon crumbles.
I am going to try meatless Fridays too. It is just too hard to remember to do a sacrifice.
Happy New Year
🥳 Happy New Year
Geez, people, I also hide things from my family otherwise it’s gone when I need it for something I have planned. Snacks or quick food tend to get eaten first and the more healthy food gets left. We do meatless Fridays, also, 99% of the time.
Just because the chicken wings had a date of January 2nd doesn't mean you have to eat them before that date. As long as they are put in the freezer they can be made at a later date.
Correct ✅ I didn’t want to freeze them though.
