NOT a Good Start! Once-a-Month Grocery Haul for Our LARGE FAMILY
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 кві 2024
- It's time to restock the pantry! I have $1100 to provide all of our food and household needs for our family of NINE for the month. I've carefully planned out where to shop and what prices are the best. I've studied the sale ads and I know which stores have the best prices. Today's shopping comes from 10 Box, Aldi, Kroger, and Wal-Mart. Later in the month, I'll make purchases from Sam's Club and Azure Standard. Come see the supplies a large family needs to live off of for a month!

Thank you for these videos. I am disabled and not able to do our shopping,so my husband has to do it for our family. These videos help us plan his trips,so he knows what stores have the best prices. That way he doesn't have to spend as much time in the stores. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your schedule to make these for us ❤❤❤❤❤❤
My years in college and about 10 years after school I rigidly shopped like you do. Money was very short. I'd make a rough menu and things I was out or low on. Then I got the sale flyers. Occasionally, my menu list would under go total revision! I would drive a circuit of the three stores I used. I carefully followed and reconciled my budget. One thing, every shopping day, I'd buy a pantry item for emergencies. The skills I developed have helped me my entire life.
I think it's AMAZING how you budget your food buying and groceries , very impressed !! I'm just in awe watching these grocery videos😊❤
Hi Janice i think you did good i don't know how you do it with everyone in the family it takes a lot of work and planing to keep the whole family happy. I want to say thankyou Janice for being a great teacher and all the ideas you have planing your family meals thay are paying off big time for me thank you.
I have noticed that since the nasty virus of 2019 the price of food and household products have either stayed high or fluctuated. My fortnightly shop has increased by an average of £47 since then. It is a worrying time with the electricity and gas prices increasing quite steeply too. Have a blessed week everyone ❤️🕯️🙏
Yes. I doubt that the increased prices are due to Covid and supply chain issues three plus years later. The big companies are making big profits.
The country shut down in March of 2020 due to covid
@debbieframpton3857 my daughter worked in shipping. She had c three times. I pray for her years of great health.
Such a sad time. The corporations and their boards have learned that people will pay more to have what they want. But a high percentage cannot afford it and end up in more debt. I have learned to shop all five grocery stores in our community and buy ONLY items on sale. It has brought my food budget DOWN by forty to 60 dollars each trip. The other day I saved 42 dollars and spent 21.96. Try it! Your family might be eating better on less money! 😅
I'm glad I was taught young how to eat healthily enough within my budget and how important it was to plan meals, bulk cook and freeze single portion meals, grow my own vegetables and herbs, etc. For the past 20+ years, I have paid my bills one month ahead after clearing my student debts and vowing never to get into debt again. I worked 100+ hours some weeks to clear it and still exist and it was to the detriment of my health. I am now disabled, have extra needs to meet and watching my savings go down instead of up year by year. Our government never seem to come good on their promises and I don't see it getting better any time soon unfortunately.
Love these type of videos no one else breaks it down like this ! Please show us the weekly video sales as well.
If you use tomato paste instead of sauce, it is cheaper. Just put a lot of water in it. If you have too much and you need to use it up beforenit expires, make tomato juice out it by adding salt and , pepper and water. Good job.
The last time I had to have a plumber take care of clogged pipes, he told me that it was clogged with dishwasher pod residue. He told me not to use those, he told me to use powdered dishwasher detergent instead.
Thanks for the tip!
@@katrinbivens3723 Thanks for letting me know
Thanks for the video, I enjoyed hearing those sweet baby chicks😀
I think you do amazingly well to feed each member of your family for less than 125 per month, and I thoroughly enjoy your shopping hauls. It’s clear from the purchases you make that everyone eats largely fresh, homemade and highly nutritious foods, rather than living on the processed stuff that I see so many people choosing when I watch other US haul vlogs, and I’d love to see more detailed cooking videos if you and / or Sarah were happy to make them - I’m sure they’d inspire lots of people.
Ty Janice. Even though I live alone, you give me inspiration and Ideas. I am a nurse who will turn 70 in a couple of months but still works. I just cut down to 2 shifts a week so I need to tighten up my budget and you help by showing me how you do your homework when it comes to grocery shopping. You also give me meal ideas. Also, I enjoy your beautiful family and how you all work together. Love your videos.
I usually hit up the clearance food 1st, loss leaders 2nd, and my shopping list 3rd. I keep a notebook to jot down meal plan ideas from these items. I get so tickled when I score a great buy. So far this month I spent about $35 which I included $22 in garden plants under my food budget. My budget is $200 a month for hubby and I. We are working on cleaning out the freezer for our upcoming garden freezing.
If you have unused dishwasher pods, maybe you can pre dissolve them in some hot water. We also put white vinegar in our rinse aid compartment, it works really well. No vinegar smell.
Love these videos❤ thanks for your hard work saving us a lot of time and money 😊
I have found the only dishwashing liquid that works is cascade pods. I buy the platinum. It saves me as I use it one time it dissolves. I bought several other cheaper brands and they do not dissolve and sit as a lump in my dishwasher or don’t clean.
You may not have your water heater turned up high enough.
Janice, its a blessing to be well stocked up I keep my family well stocked and we home make our food. My family is 3 adults, two men and myself. We are able to do this because my husband is retired and a great from scratch cook!
Janice, instant potatoes are great for thickening, soups, stews, even gravy.
The colours in the top you're wearing are really pretty on you Janice xx
Pink Lady apples are the bomb!! These are my preference when I can snag 'em for a decent price. 😃
Are they crunchy? I don't prefer soft mushy ones.
Pink Lady is quite firm. My family likes them or the Amborsia best.
@rosannasauereisen2827 thanks for the info!!
They are crunchy and sweet and store very well. They are late season apples typically used for long storage.
I noticed that you brought canned great northern beans and pinto beans.... My question is: is it not cheaper to buy the dried beans and can them yourself for convenience? I know I do that sometimes but their is only 2 of us eating them....
Hi Janice you can also use peanut butter to get the dogs to take there meds. Mix crush or liquid meds with peanut butter or wrap pill in a small piece of cheese.The dogs will take it every time.
Marshmallows work great too
Hi janice& shawn & family! Would it be better to plant more seeds for produce then you wouldnt have to buy frozen or canned veggies & buy more meat birds so you wouldnt have to buy any meat at all in stores? Been a subscriber from the beginning always wondered xx
I bring boil the squash seeds in heavily salted water, then let them sit in the water with the burner turned off for 20 minutes, drain them, and then bake them on a pan with olive oil, sprinkled with seasoning, usually salt, pepper, and garlic salt.
Great hauls! I’m the same with going into walmart. So I use their free pick up service. I place order via online app the day before, select pick up time, pay and go! Over time the online app has my favorite items and I can also look up past orders and select from there. I can do shopping in about 15-20 min online. Wonderful service. I do go in to select meats but it is s faster in/out. Take care! ❤
With such a busy couple of weeks you have had you did great Janice!! Lots of great deals and the special treats for lunch and dinners at a discount is great!! Happy kids and Mama!!
Sometimes the comparison is not worth the time and gas cost. But you did a great job.
I used to use the one you got from walmart and never had a problem with it. My dishwasher broke 3 years ago and it had lasted 3 years. I dont plan on replacing it. Its just me and my husband and 1 child. Extended family does visit once a week for a meal as well. Im not paying over 1000$ for a machine that breaks within 3 years.
I always like to watch your videos before shopping at Kroger. You let me know the deals!
Hello Janice. Kudos to you for being able to keep to the 122.00 per family member in this 20% inflation period.
Put the Pods in the bottom of the dishwasher not in the door. Cleans so much better and no worries about dissolving.
I help the neighbors here with housework and their dishwasher they use jet dry
It has gel and powder like a tide laundry pod. It generally gets the dishes clean without any residue or bits of detergent left in the machine
You Tube "She's in Her Apron "has a price book that you can fill in the best prices in what store and you can carry it in your purse 😂
Dang ! You did very well !! Awesome haul with a good amount left to do until next pay day 👏👏👏🎈🎈🎈 that's amazing considering bidenomics haS spiked groceries a lot
Try using less detergent. That may reduce the amount of gunk leftover and still clean your dishes.
Grocery prices are still creeping up. I didn't go grocery shopping last week, I did get a gallon of milk at kroger. We're trying to use up things in the freezer and pantry. I get my dishwasher pods at costco, but it's close by for us. Enjoy hearing the chicks in the background.
If you shop Sams Club you can get Members Marl Toilet Tissue 48 rolls for 51 each compared to 68 cents for Willow. Also we have septic tank.
When comparing tp, typically compare price per square foot instead of price per roll.
I have a recipe that I make a lot using zucchini an canned Italian diced tomatoes and lots of cheese, I use mozzarella and cheddar in a bowl slice zucchini up in to medallions you can add any spices you like, add tomatoes add cheese mix it all up place in a baking dish bake in oven till zucchini is tender and cheese is melted Lucky I don't have to buy any more groceries this month pretty well stocked up for the 2 of us bless you all and love love your videos .
Janice , you are a jewel. Your “ bad shopping “ is far better than most of us all the time. God bless!
On the dishwasher tabs, we use them but don’t close the little door on the detergent and it works better. If I have a really high item in the bottom then I stick the tab on the top shelf and I no longer have to clean up the undisolved tab yuck. I do the same thing now with the gel. I put it in the bin in the dishwasher and don’t shut it just to make sure everything comes clean. Good luck!! Cleaning again is no fun.
I leave mine open too.
Janice, this month just proves that you do well by doing the extra checking in the sales, makes it worth it!
the honey .. i saw video from azure standard the end month budget on other day you had purchased a very large jar , anyways why smaller bottles honey from aldi ? the larger bottle i was curious how you manage to get amount needed without making a mess? my luck i would spill it ( I am klutzy ) i do not own a honey drizzler ( or whatever it is called )
I have the same question about buying the smaller bottles of Honey since she bought the large container of honey from azure standard.
I’m with you, Janice of it being scary how fast the cost of food is raising you are very smart to keep that pantry stocked because like you said, we never know it’s important to store things even if it’s small things I’ve been doing it for years.
I love your channel so much and I hope you all are well
Yes, I can hear the chicks and they sound so sweet. It’s sounds that they are happy and wanting to say hi.
Hi. We are a family of 6 mostly boys. we tried the beggie route, it doesnt satiate and they wanted seconds and they snacked more. Putting more meat in- resulted in less cooking . I go in the morning when they reduce the meats. 🙂
thanks for the video, Janice. you did well with your haul.
Another great shopping day ❤❤❤
Another great shopping trip🎉❤
On the buy 5 save 5. You can mix and match you don't have to buy five of each
😊 best of the best 😊
Thanks for putting out the video
Thank you for your videos, you are amazing. I did catch you problem with your dishwasher. Have u tried cleaning the dishwasher using vinegar and put it in a container and let the dishwasher run its normal cycle. That is suppose to clean the dishwasher. I know i have had the same issue a yourself; and the vinegar has helped also buying the tablets for the garbage disposal has helped as well. Love the way you check all your ads. Thanks for all your videos
Maybe your hot water heater isn’t turned up high enough for your dish tabs to melt.or ou can just put them in the bottom of the dishwasher .🌼🐝🌼🐝🌼🐝❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very very helpful, thank u sooo much !!!! Enjoy your videos ❤
I went to my local Giant store today. Turkey breast whole was priced at 89 cents pounds. Got two at $6.00 and 7.00. Also tenponds bite potatoes were $1.88. Thanksgiving here we come! Janice, thank you I explore mark downs and learned about loss leaders!
Autocorrect…. Dang. Ten pounds white potatoes
Awesome deal on turkey. Wish they had stores in Indiana.
I use only Gel dish washing detergent in my dishwasher, I too don't use those pods in my washing machine they don't always dissolve. I can't see spending money those pods and having to run the machines twice.
Maybe Walmart is watching Ozark Family Homestead and sees they need better prices! It's a good sign that store prices are getting closer together. Even though things didn't work out perfectly this time, It shows that your normal care with every detail really pays off for you and your family.
Thanks for sharing your grocery haul! ❤
I would have stocked up on those potatoes and canned some!
I buy finish pods at Sams. I prefer them to any other.
That's what I buy as well but they sure are more expensive then some other brands! I just like that they are pods but don't have plastic that is supposed to dissolve. I found that the plastic wrapped ones didn't always dissolve and the dishes wouldn't come clean.
I use the finish pods too and haven’t had a problem with them not dissolving!
I love your shirt manage. Those colors look good on you!
You still did well for what you got! Prices go up and down so much! Great video! Ty for sharing
Great job Janice!The prices here in Texas are on the rise.Thank you for your videos.😊norma
Great haul as usual!
I use the GV dishwasher liquid regularly and really like it ❤
Hi thanks for the latest video. If you watch for it, Walgreens offers their ziploc type bags for buy 1 get 2 free. which usually ends up being 93 cents each. I think they offered this deal last week, and they seem to offer this deal at least once a month.
Those Walgreens bags are great too. They are a little bigger and mom uses them for freezing her zucchini loaves.
They are great for any non-liquid items. Anything liquid or saucy I would recommend a better brand than Walgreens. I’ve had so many issues with leaking bags.
You did great! Praying for God to show his provision for you and your family.
It wouldn't be the end of the world if you missed a week of sale ads. Try a month without buying any food and use your stock
Good hauls🎉
Good day
I am waiting for my twice a year dental cleaning. I love what you bought. Great job. Atleast the shelves have variety. Produce and dairy will be my haul on Thursday at Kroger's. I got over $400.00 a few times and I am into meal planning. Thank you for all your videos.
I use the dishwasher soap that you purchased. It works great.
Helllooo family! I love watching this one - it's a lot of work to get this all sorted isn't it 💚I love hearing the chicks...
Hi Janice, I purchased some of those strawberries at Walmart and they were delicious.
We use the Great Value Dishwasher detergent and we have been very pleased with it.
Give yourself some Grace Mama. You got some good deals there. ESP with the clearance items. ❤
Hi Ozark Family....Hope you are All doing well.
😃
I think you did awesome. Considering you didn’t compare to Walmart first, you still had a good savings!❤
Good haul. I have my windows open today. And I really dislike going into Walmart also.
I think you still did an awesome job even with the couple of mistakes! I always like to look at the sale items at stores! I bet those homemade banana chips are delicious! Hope you have a wonderful week!
What do you use the red wine vinegar for? I’ve never used it.
Good morning Janice
Good morning, Leteakea!!! :)
Janice I buy tons of bananas and make banana bread at least 4 times a month love them great haul
Hey Janice, just wanted to let you know that if you put the dishwasher pod directly into the bottom of the dishwasher machine instead of the compartment it will completely dissolve and clean the dishes just as well 😊. Just a suggestion. As always, your friend and follower Dawn Holder.
The great value dishwasher gel was gifted to me from my daughter months ago. She didn’t like it but I have no problem with it. The Aldi mushrooms was a great deal. I bought 24 pints and dehydrated all of them. I loved it.
Janice, pink Lady applets are my very favorite. I’ve had a bag in my frig crisper for over a month. They are still perfect! I’ve always used the Great Value liquid dishwasher soap. I really like it. Cleans well and no streaking. 💕🙏🙏
Yes, the price went down on the cheese at WalMart, however, they will be a smaller package if they haven't changed it yet, they will be. So watch the size
Cascade gel is awesome quality. I buy it at Sam’s. I have the same issue with the pods.
Check out living on a dime to get rich. She does all kinds of stuff to save money. It might be worth it to watch her. Never know she might be able to help.
She and Janice has been the two youtubers that have taught me so much about grocery shopping! They have single-handley helped me to stay on the same budget I've had for several years and still eat well.
Janice Aldi is the only store in my area that you have in yours and we do not have the same sales, but I do enjoy your grocery hauls just the same. Thanks.
Have you checked on buying local honey will help with allergies
Yes! I always check the produce section at Kroger too for markdowns!!! Have you found a time of day that's better to check? I am usually there in the mornings when I go and they have stuff marked down but not a whole lot yet. Maybe I'm just too early!
Thanks again for sharing!!
Hi Sarah! When I'm able to go on Wednesday afternoons, I feel like I find more markdowns than when I have to wait until Thursday. I don't know if that holds true in other areas, but I feel like my Kroger is pretty consistent. :)
I live in Central Illinois are Kroger has the markdowns throughout the different departments in the morning
I don't know how the price compares, but I prefer frozen cauliflower for roasting. Our Kroger deli has had marked down deli meat, hummus and other items.
Always miss you like sorry❤
I’ll let you know what digital deals they have at Kroger for this week
I put my pods in the utensil.basket
I dint know how far you live from Farmington, but there is a farmers market there called Crystal and Riches. They have a wesite and they run awesome deals on produce.
I've heard of that, Regina, but never had a chance to make it up there! It sounds like they have some fantastic deals! :)
Would love to see a trip around the farm.🐄🐖🐣🐣🐣🐔🐓
There are several precious videos like that.
Janice the same thing has been happening to us. My daughter has also had that happening.
