Oh my goodness! I think I may have been beet red at the checkout. I shopped at Walmart recently and purchased 2 5 gallon buckets, which promptly suctioned together. No cashiers, so had to do self checkout, so I was stopped by the “greeter”/security guy who wanted me to pull the buckets apart. I told him he was welcome to pull them apart if he could, but I’m not standing there in front of God and everyone like a criminal, given that I have a very long receipt and am not a thief, sir. 😊. He told me to just go on. I was embarrassed and insulted at the same time, and to be honest, I probably would’ve only purchased one of the darn buckets in the first place if I could’ve gotten them apart in the aisle.
Yeah, that's frustrating!! I've gotten to where I'm paranoid to even put my grocery list back in my purse when I'm finished shopping. I'm afraid the cameras are watching me and thinking I'm trying to steal something by putting it in my purse. Unfortunately, that's the world we live in nowadays. I've actually witnessed people stealing at the self-checkouts so I know there's a valid concern, but I don't like being the suspect!!
I just tell them no thank you and keep walking. They legally cannot check your receipt. Now places like, sams, Costco, bimart…. They can because you agree to the rules when you join.
Where I can pay cash. Small group very stories 😔 n our town have more stock them bigger stores
I'm sorry that happened to you, it's not fair on you. I remember the only time I was accused of shoplifting. I was 10 and my sister was 12 and we were allowed to go up to a market stall to buy a set of five hair ties while Mum stood back. We took out a few colours from the container but ultimately decided to get the ones that were already in sets of five. They accused us of putting the loose hairties into our pockets. I didn't even know what shoplifting was which made the store owner angrier as tears poured down my face. My older sister told them that we had been buying these hairties once a month and would no longer be doing this. The lady followed us back to Mum and made us empty our pockets which of course were empty. That was 35 year ago but I remember it like it was yesterday. It seems that those who wouldn't dare to do anything like that are wrongly accused. I had a hard time doing things independently as I was incredibly shy and as an adult we realised I have aspergers and this set me back a number of years after all the hard work Mum had put into getting me to this stage.
Don’t ever stop for the Walmart greeters. If they suspect you stole something, they HAVE to call the police. Even the Walmart security can’t make you stop. Quit letting these companies tell us what to do.
What an amazing woman. This is the real America I grew up with.
We love Aldi’s! Also lunchmeat sandwiches. Happy Birthday to your son. 🎉 We are empty nesters and I love seeing how carefully you shop and how close your family is in this crazy world. Wonderful how your girls help cook! Our second video.
Hate them self checkouts they stop the honest ones but the people that cheat on them get away . Don’t fret it has happen to me too
Yeah Debra, I dislike them too, but I feel like they're a part of our "new normal" around here. I sure do appreciate you being here and supporting our family's channel though. Thanks a bunch for that!! :)
I won’t use them. I will stand in line however long I have to tomuse a regular human cashier.
And I really hate the people that check your receipts at the door In Walmart like you are a Criminal . I won’t stop when they “ask” me to ! I tell them I am not anyheir and they can hold me or call police IF they have evidence that I’m a their, otherwise I’m not stopping and allowing them to treat me that way.
I’ve had some follow me to the parking lot screaming at me to stop! I yelled right back, call the police if I’m a theif!
I’m a Christian and a military vet , I will not be treated like a criminal!
@@teresahiggs4896This pisses me off, and they let all the Blacks steal from expensive stores and they get away with taking thousands of dollars of merchandise. That just makes me so mad, and they treat honest people like criminals. This isn't going to continue.
You look nice in the darker colored shirt! Idk about Kroger, but Walmart has very advanced security systems in place and I think they must have facial recognition cameras as well. Had a friend whose sister was arrested for shoplifting at Walmart. Her children were with her, thank goodness my friend and her b/f were with her and could take the children. Anyway the gal stated she had never stolen anything before. Security didn't say anything, just flipped a camera on with different pics of her stealing items from different Walmarts throughout the city! Some pics were taken last fall. Besides being able to pull that up, my friend told me that the cameras are very clear and can pick up every minute detail. She was watching them as they talked to her sister and said they were amazing. They can see what's down in your purse if it's slightly open and they want to. They could read your texts if you are texting. She said it was amazing and was very thankful that her and her b/f don't have kleptomania or any of the other mental disorders that cause people to steal and also are not tempted to steal. Don't need anymore problems than we already have! Lol
Oh my word, I would have freaked out!
Just ran into your Chanel
You have a wonderful family. It takes a lot of work to budget cook and put love into feeding your family healthy meals.
I am sorry you were accused of stealing.
Unfortunately, so many people have not been honest at the self check out.
I live in Alaska and recently saw a person leaving self checkout have the wheels lock up. They are now doing that randomly at self checkout to make sure people are not stealing.
Personally, I never use self check out. No matter how long the line.
American's need jobs. Not computers❤
Hope you all had wonderful birthdays
My nephew put his cell phone down while he was scanning his groceries at Wal-Mart. When he was finished he picked up his cell phone and put it in his pocket. They thought he was a shoplifter too! Blessings!
Be very careful at Walmart's self check or really any of the self checks! I read a story of a woman that was handcuffed and arrested at Walmart before she could even figure out what she had done wrong! Just like you, they had her on camera from above and she had to seek an attorney's help to represent her in court, and even though they dropped the case, it still cost her a pretty penny for her lawyer! They say a person should act very calm & deliberate as we check out and avoid laughing or goofing around! We don't live in the same world anymore unfortunately! Thanks for sharing!
Oh, that's awful!! I can't imagine...I'm definitely more careful now! :)
Great looking strawberries. A good price too.
Omg 😂😂😂,that’s just funny,can you imagine Janice on Americas most wanted..😂😂🥰🥰 you poor thing.
What a day! Better luck next time.
Oh honey, I DID shoplift (albeit unknowingly) 2 zucchini last time I was at Walmart. I also did self checkout & at 75, that's kinda slow. I'v ben retired 12 years & didn't think it wud go well. I did ok & got everything bagged & out to th car. That's when I noticed th plastic bag w/zucchini still in th cart. I was hot & pooped from manual labor & getting hangry. So, even tho th good angel on my shoulder told me to go back, I turned a deaf ear & listened to my growling stomach. I went home. Still haven't fixed those zucchini. Now I REALLY feel guilty.
You are AMAZING. First of all, SEVEN kids. Yikes. My daughter has 5 & I thot that was a houseful. Compared to your wonderful & tasty meals & my family's meals, I feel like Marie Antoinette. We are definitely going to scale back on what & how we purchase & prepare.
Wonderful family.
Self check out shout give customers an automatic 15% off purchase for doing their Job!!🙌🏻🇺🇸
Wow I will have to keep in mind about the sales paper thingy. That would be embarrassing.😅❤
You have a really lovely smile and appear to be genuine and down to earth. This is my second video I've watched from your channel and I really love seeing what a close family you are all helping each other.
Edit: in my country the cucumbers would be $6 (US$3.74) right now and they go down to $2 (US$1.25) each in season.
@amyrivers4093 where are you from ?
@@inge191157 I don't give out locating information to strangers.
Wow! The prices are SO cheap! You are blessed!
Yeah, the Missouri Ozarks have a lower cost of living than other areas of the country, but that means that we also get paid a lot less!!! :)
Many years ago, my dad married his 2nd wife after the death of my mother. They had 12 kids (hers (new wife. now his ex), his- me, my brothers, and sister) and they had one together. I don't know how they made it work, but they did. Even though your situation is not that, I salute you for being a fantastic mother, having an older daughter who reminds me of my older sister and how she took care of us and helped with household chores (cooking and such), and being a role model for other mothers. My kids are grown and gone and I have grandbabies, but I again, salute you. :) Have a great Sunday.
Thanks a bunch, Melissa!! I think it would be so much easier to gradually get up to large family size by adding children one at a time. Then, your routines can change gradually. I cannot imagine just - BOOM - having 11 or 12 children in a family and figuring out how to function! That would definitely take some awesome time management skills! :)
@@ozarkfamilyhomestead Thank you and you are definitely correct. They have both passed on (dad and stepmom) and I still never figured out how they made it work. :)
I like to sprinkle nutritional yeast on my popcorn! I air pop popcorn, then add butter, salt, dill and nutritional yeast. Delicious! Thanks for sharing your haul!
Oh, that sounds awesome, Misha!! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I'm super-glad to have you here! :)
That's crazy and I'm SO tired of Kroger only having 1 lane open it's like that in all 3 of the Kroger's in my area. I live 45 minutes south of Atlanta. Just OVER it
Hi Janice sometimes those self checkouts can be a nuisance. I see you now have 2k subscribers, congratulations 🎉 🎂🌟😀👍❤️❤️
Sussan, can you believe we already topped 2,000?!?!?!? I'm just so excited at how our family's channel has grown. It has been such a blessing and I'm grateful to you for the part you've played in our success! :)
@@ozarkfamilyhomestead Hi Janice you and your family deserve only the success you
really deserve.Your channel is by far the best family channel I have seen, every video you do is amazing .You and your family are so alive that when I watch you all I feel like I am there with you.Never give up
On a dream . I support you any way I can.Sending love across the miles from Wallaceburg Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 👍🌟🌟🌻🧑🍳❤️
@@sussanlondry6445 I wish you could've heard Sarah when she said, "Oh Momma, Sussan said we're the best family channel!!!!" Your comment made this Momma teary-eyed. Thank you so much for believing in us. 💕
I wish we had coupons in our stores, would love it.
Heyyy! Mrs.Ozark❤👋You may had less money, but you always make it work! Sorry about your ordeal at the grocery store.
Yay, always glad to see your name pop up!! I'm behind on comments, but time has passed and we have survived the grocery budget lockdown! Shawn has gotten paid again and I'm ready to restock everything on Monday! :)
You probably don't have Meijer stores out there, but I went to their pharmacy, paid for my medication, then went into the grocery area
Congratulations!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳Mrs.Ozark! & family on the 2,000 subscribers.
Isn't it wild???? I'm just continually amazed at how our channel has grown! Thank you so much for watching and supporting us so faithfully. Your contribution to our channel's success has not gone unnoticed! :)
Great haul Janice. Sorry you were accused of shop lifting I know it was embarrassing. Blessings 🙌.
Thanks for the comment, Dolores!! I admit, I was shocked when the video of me popped up on the checkout screen! It all turned out ok though. As always, I'm so grateful to have you as a part of our community, Dolores! :)
I have read about a female attorney is against the scanning your own check outs. So, Janice you are super blessed.
Tip when buying 🥑 is to look for the long ones they have a smaller seed. The round ones have a bigger seed.
Yes, i used yeast 40 years ago to keep fleas off my cats and dogs. They loved it.
Great video Janice. Sorry to hear about your ordeal. Enjoy the birthday 🎂
Thanks Sylvia!! Thankfully, it ended well and we can all laugh about it. As always, glad to have you here, friend!! :)
Oh my gosh I’m still laughing. That was the cutest story ever. I will definitely keep that in mind at the checkout counter. Hilarious! Glad it all was ok! 💕
I am excited for these "solving theft in stores" measures! Theft raises prices! For those of us who spend hard earned money be thankful for the cameras and receipt checkers and in store security. My blood boils when i see someone stealing or trying to scam the "system". I know it is an inconvience but if we haven't done anything wrong it should only take a minute or two to clear any problem up.
The cost of the small bottle of shampoo and conditioner was a lot of money when on a budget, I don't think Azure really save us money I have shopped around and found a few things cheaper. If you keep all your onion skins freeze dry them put them in the blenda you have great onion powder.
Aww- I just found your channel today and am just enjoying it so much! 😃
Cucumbers are soooooo easy to grow
Sherry here 🐾🧋🐾 the yeast is great on popcorn!!!!
You are a blessing. Love your videos
That’s happened to me recently at Jayc/kroger.
The lady working the self checkout and I had a good laugh.
Hey Janice! I’ll definitely hit Kroger & get me some Sweet Cherries!! My favorite fruit of the year!
ps…I’ll think of you while I munch on them!! LOL😅
Yay Janice, so glad you got some!! I hope they made you tremendously happy! :)
The strawberries were a great buy!!!
Good Grief Janice .. I could buy a whole lot of Dishwashing Liquid for what you paid for the 5 gallon bucket !!
Great Deals on the other items though ...
Ack, Sherry, you know I hate spending too much money on things!! I am a little picky on the dish soap because we primarily use it to wash up our dairy cow, Daisy, and I don't want to strip her skin of oils. So I don't want to anything like Dawn and I want to avoid artificial fragrances/colors as well. If I can find a better deal on that type of dish soap, then I would be EVER SO THANKFUL!!!! :)
Oh my goodness you are so close to reaching 2000 subscribers 🎉🎉🎉
Eeek, I know, Nancy!! We're excited and all stalking the numbers to see if we can hit 2000 today! (We're currently at 1,995 and it's been climbing slowly all day.)
@@ozarkfamilyhomestead I invited my adult daughter to subscribe earlier tonight. 😀
@@NancyWhelanSharingMemories Thank you so much! We're at 2,020 this morning! (Saturday) 💕
Job well done mama.❤😊
Interesting on the security camera at Krogers.. I try not to use their self check out never thought about the What If's..that's spooky. Anna In Ohio
The cost in gas from going to all these different stores couldn't that go towards food? BTW. Love your channel!
If it's like alot of Arkansas and Missouri towns no going to these stores is part of life and you work it into shopping. It's worth the trip considering the other stores are so high so stocking up and freezing ,drying just makes sense especially those onions
Hey, Mrs. Janice! I love watching your videos! Great deals! I wish we had deals like this here in England. I haven’t seen any though, besides a few “in store” type deals. (3 for the price of 2 type deals) HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAVID! 🎊
Tori, I'm so behind on comments!! I actually think I remember seeing the "3 for 2" stickers on one of your Shop With Me videos and I was wondering what they were for. (You know, the children think it's kind of neat that the whole world can know when it's their birthday now.) :)
You have big family. Where are the Ozarks located.
You love watching big families I thought I had big family with 6 of us.
The flour seems very expensive. I am from Denmark, and I would be charged only half of your price..Have a lovely day.
That's so interesting! It's been neat to learn how things are different across our own country and the whole world! :)
Wow! Our family of 8, use about 6 avocados for guac. It’s soo good.
We don't have an Aldi but we do have a 10 Box and Kroger. I have never been to 10 Box because it's kind of in a sketchy part of town, but I may try it!
Yes yeast keeps fleas and ticks off of dogs and cats they don’t like the smell of yeast so they don’t attach to dogs and cats
We have Walmart, Kroger, Aldi and Publix in my Northern Alabama area. Publix is the most expensive . I usually only need to go to Aldi and , Kroger and Walmart. It’s just me and my husband so we don’t have a huge grocery list .
We had that at Walmart when they girst cane out with the self checkouts. Since then it hasn't happened and i think they disabled the cameras on the machines from picking it up as it got so aggravating. Thanks for sharing!
I'll just have to hope they'll disable it here too! I know I'm going to be super-paranoid next time I use the self-checkout though. :) So glad you're here, Susan, and I appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Happy Birthday David
Aww, thank you Meegan! I appreciate your support of our family soooo much! :)
Great job
Thanks so much!! Always glad to see you here! :)
I’m 6 hours N in Chicago at my sons!
Hey there!! So glad you're getting that family time!! (Should've planned in a detour to the Ozarks!!) :)
Wow , expensive shampoo and conditioner for such small containers.
Had that happen to me at Walgreen's when I had an older $20 bill. Took me to the Managers office and they called the police. They saw the mo eye and asked if I had other money to pay my bill which I did. Let me go. Went to my bank. They wrote a letter to the Manager that the bill was real but got no apology when he read it. At another discount store, they went through my purse saying someone saw me put stuff in it. Patted me down. I emptied my pockets and my purse in front of them. No apology there either. Feel sorry for anyone that goes through this. I wouldn't take anything from anyone. Sorry about that.
I've never shopped at Walgreen's and after reading this, it's doubtful that I ever will. My son works at CVS as front end supervisor and has actually witnessed people putting expensive items in the pockets and walk out the front door. Corporate states the employees can not and will not stop anyone who has been seen shoplifting no matter what. My son said the real slap in the face is when they turn around and come in expecting a cash refund for the item they just shoplifted.
Hope David had a lovely birthday. Mine was 2 nd June, yesterday. I'm very old, it's depressing lol.
Xx ooh yh, cherries are my favourite too xx
I hope you had a WONDERFUL birthday, Christina!! June 2nd was also our anniversary. We've made it to 20 years now! I'm happy to share a special day with you! :)
@@ozarkfamilyhomestead awwww happy anniversary. That's soooo cool that we share the date. It was ok tho thanks. Lots of love xxx
That dish soap is a waste of money i think! I get palmolive huge jug for like 12$
Hmmmm crazy now krogers that never has occured but def. At wal mart!! Byeeeeee😂😂😂
That happened to me at Walmart with my wallet. I was changing it to the other hand. Embarrassing.
Yikes, I'm so sorry you had to deal with that embarrassment! It's not fun at all!
Azure standard flour is quite expensive, I am surprised you pay that sort of money for flour, especially if you’re not independently wealthy.
My family's health is important to me! I may not be able to afford everything organic, but I do try to make the best choices I have with the budget I have to work with. We are not destitute and we are not on the verge of starvation. I share these videos to show that you can still eat well and relatively healthy on a lower budget.
That happened to me at Walmart scanned my groceries and the cashier walked over and accused me of not scanning a small melon I finally got her to shut up long enough to look at the receipt. She just turned and walked off no apology necessary I guess.
Ooooh, that would be frustrating! :)
cherries by me now is !.99lb
You've got your own little Walton Family going on there. Remember how they used to say goodnight to each other? (Please don't tell me you are too young to know who the Waltons were!)
You need to move to Oregon, lol! Our son works at Walmart and they're not even allowed to stop shoplifters. They can _ask_ them to stop but if they keep walking there's nothing they can do. The police won't even come out if it's under $1000! Absolute insanity... and they wonder why the crime rate is going up and everyone is moving, including us!
My daughter. Buys all organic food because we stay in. Bathroom all day my health and. Hers is. Bad under Dr care love 😂 patricia curry from Danville VA tell all hi❤🎉😅
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Btw my husband wants to know if Sarah is driving yet. I have no clue why he wants to know this, but he's asked me several times now. He sometimes watches your posts over my shoulder! Lol I would like to know if Sarah can make up a menu and grocery list like this and shop. I imagine she can. If so, was wondering if you could teach the next youngest child to her how to shop and plan meals.
Kroger 📷
Happy birthday love one
Awww, thank you so much, Donna!!! I think David had a fun day! :)
👍👍👍
I'm actually a little surprised at the shampoo and conditioner purchases as they're kind of pricey (no judgment - I know you guys like to save and buy on sale.) Just wondering if those are products you buy no matter what cost (like the Puffs lotion-based tissue, etc.) based on personal preference? Just curious. :)
I’m really sorry you were suspect to shoplifting….I don’t like that if it was in front of your kiddos? But maybe a good teaching moment? I don’t know. I JUST had this happen to me at self checkout yesterday and it really got my anxiety increased for the day ( and even today) even though it was a misunderstanding!?
Do you have a garden you can grow tomatoes in bucket.
Thank God your not in hand cuffs 😂😂😂 better days are coming 🥰 sweetie
I'm glad I avoided handcuffs too, Sharon!! That would've been a bad day right there...however, it might've made a good video! ;)
@@ozarkfamilyhomestead 😂😆❤️
I try to avoid the self checkout! I always scan to fast then they come over and have to watch the video.
Ooooh, you suspicious speed scanner! They might offer you a job since they know you'll be an efficient employee! ;)
Coconut is also a good mosquito repelant also.I hear
Won't AI be wonderful when it takes affect!
I really enjoy your channel
Aww, thank you so very much, Anne!! I'm so very glad to have you here and hope to see more of you! :)
If there was a great sale on something next week would you be able to take the money out of savings and pay it backbon the 10th when you get paid
Your lucky, our Kroger would have caused issues
Now janice how u get all the sales ads do u guys get news papers weekly? See i dont😢😢😢😢😣
I refuse to use self check out . AI is watching you when you check out.
Don’t do that anymore!
How do you keep all the vegetables from not over ripening until you use them the next week? When I purchase fresh fruit/vegetables I have to use them in a couple of days or they get overripe.
I haven't had too much trouble with that, Marlene! I try to plan them into our meal rotation before they spoil. Of course, we also have a large family, so we can really consume quite a bit of food in no time! :)
Let me know how you get the liquid out of the big dish detergent container. I ordered one and can't figure it out.
I know it's tricky, Debbie!! Shawn and Andrew figured it out though. They used a channel lock pliers to twist off the big cap. Then they just picked it up and carefully poured it into a 5 gallon bucket with a pump on top. I keep that bucket with pump under my kitchen sink. We refill a smaller soap container from the 5 gallon bucket pump. I do wish it just came in a 5 gallon bucket to begin with! :)
I’d gotten nutritional yeast at Walmart (but then was too afraid of it to use it 😳). Is it as healthy as Azure Standard? More expensive?
Unfortunately, these stores have to deal with brazen theft going on everywhere.
I do not have a problem being checked because I understand what stores are dealing with. It sure seems as if people aren't as honest as they used to be.
Most stores allow criminals to do what they do and we have to pay for their actions through higher prices.
Sigh.
Hey Janice, do you have a PayPal? I want to send you some money to get those cherries! You get the money immediately.
Oh my, Katie!!!!! That is just the sweetest offer! Thank you so much for caring the way you do. :) I know I'm super-late in answering your comment and the cherries are no longer on sale, but please know that I wouldn't have had a chance to make it back into the big town to take advantage of the sale price anyway. I'm really, truly grateful for your generous offer though!
❤😊
Hi Kathy!! :)
This is why you don't use self-scan check-outs. Employees have lost their jobs to AI and they're treating everyone like they're guilty until proven innocent.
We’re are you from. I live in Arkansas
Hey neighbor! 😉 We're closer to the Poplar Bluff area of Missouri. 💕
Are you all against government assistance …..
I can almost guarantee u all would qualify for something….
Your husband pays taxes and snap is a federal entitlement program … js .. may be helpful . Your great at budgeting
It’s too bad those store cameras say you’re guilty until proven innocent. You sure do go to the penny with your budget. You should do videos on meals you make to stretch the budget, especially now when you’re on budget lockdown. I’ve seen other UA-camrs purchase from Azur Standard and it’s whatever suits you but I think they’re a bit pricey.
I appreciate the idea for doing a video on meals, Noreen! I know you've already seen it, but I snatched up your idea and started recording our meals this past week. Thank you so much for supporting our family's channel! :)
Great Haul
Thanks so much, Mary! Always glad to see you here! :)
