Costco Haul & Put Away For My Family Of 7 

Can you do what your kids eat in a week, snacks and all? Would love ideas

That ending was so beautiful. Thank you for that encouragement. I am married 7 years, we long for children but that hasn't been the Lords will for us. The longer I am a wife and homemaker the more I love it and desire to learn how to do it better.

This looks a lot like our Costco hauls. I love Costco paper towels and we actually compost them using a method called bokashi, they break down in less than 12 months 😀

Don't be too harsh with yourself about the paper towels. You have 5 kiddos, lol. Having the paper towels can be handy. ❤

We just bought that same type of fridge and freaking love it!!! The flex drawer is a bonus for space.

Really love your videos, so much inspiration for recipes and kitchen organisation. I love what you say about being a homemaker, it’s so true and relatable! ❤

3:08 Just a side note, if you are gunna make raw poke bowls make sure the salmon is sushi grade. Cooked salmon though sounds nice. And I don't get how they are too old for the apple sauce snack unless it is specifically for a certain age range. I am 20 and if I saw a nice packet of those I would probably eat it.

That message at the end is what I needed to hear today💕 God bless you Sarah 😊

The part about homemakers ❤❤ sometimes, I feel crazy when I’m annoyed that my husband doesn’t do all the little things that I do to keep up which our baby when he takes over some tasks. They’re little things that make the rest of the day run smoother. And, while I have little space to be annoyed at my husband, your comment made that effort I put in feel seen 💕

So happy that your videos are back in my subscription list! I did want to offer a technique that will make cutting things a bit easier. Use a damp tea towel under your cutting board, it prevents the slipping and sliding and makes for easy clean up when you’re done ♥️

Sarah Therese ! I'm so glad I found you. I really missed you. 👏❤

Would you do a video about how you plan the meals for the week? Also maybe where you take recipes from or how you come up with new ones 😊🤩

According to Food Safe Cert, meat should be kept at the bottom of fridge or freezer, to avoid leaks on other foods.

Thank you for your kind words at the end, Sarah, I really needed to hear them. As a wife to my dream of a husband, we're currently living with our aging parents, and my brother and sister-in-law in one house. It's been challenging to figure out everyone's "roles" when it comes to being homemakers, and not everyone has the energy or the time to try to do everything (plus, my dear mother, bless her heart, has a hard time letting go of that role of taking care of us and giving the reigns to my sister-in-law and me). But we're working through it, and we're all learning how we can help each other not only as homemakers, but as family members as well in the unique living situation we all find ourselves in at this time. Great content as always, Sarah! Thank you for everything you do for your family and for your viewers, your videos are such a blessing in my life, and I know you are such a blessing to your family! God bless you in all your endeavors! 🙏💖

Another fun video!

Can you do a video on how you make baby food, and the jam

I know that filming videos especially like this one is not easy. I usually don't support channels that show their kids, but you deserve success and huge following for not shoving camera in their face.

Have you ever tried unpasteurized cow milk (actual milk meant to feed) it’s healed a lot of people I know. We drink it and love it. Maybe your body can’t handle the store pasteurized kind? Or maybe you’ve tried it ❤

Thanks Sarah!

Could you please make a video of how you prepare baby Edmund food.. it will be super helpful Thanks

totally unrelated, but I love the shorts you’re wearing in this video!! plus…LOVE haul videos here 🙋🏼‍♀️

Would love to see a baby food video!

If I had my own washer and dryer than I would not use paper towels. I would use “kitchen rags” but I have to do my laundry in a shared washer and dryer on the premises of our triplex. So I have to use a coin operated washer and dryer. It’s cheaper to get the giant thing of paper towels at Costco. One day I’ll have my own. And I can be as green as I wanna be.

I was under the impression that “pink salt” is just salt dyed pink. And that it has to explicitly say “Himalayan” if it’s authentic.

I love your ending message that is something I will never forget. And also, Why don't you use cashews for your milk and creamer? Does it not turn out as well? I want to make but I don't want to use almonds since I already have low iron and almonds have oxylates that deplete iron. Please give advice! Thank you so much much 💕

Love a good Costco haul!! Please keep it up! ❤️

I suddenly am motivated to go grocery shopping 😂😂

Nice to hear you speak to camera again ❤

If your getting called out on paper towels and Not happy about it…what else are you eating/buying? Lol

😭what you said about being a homemaker!!! 🙏🏼

lol I thought Canada should be more expensive than my home country with average wage around 1k per month T.T we need CostCo T.T

You must feel so grateful to be able to buy this much food!

canada/america is WILD honestly! UK bacon is just bacon! maybe smoked if you want more flavour, but otherwise it is untouched by other ingredients and it’s madness to me that it’s sweetened in the US and Canada!

I love your channel but I do disagree on sugar. Cancer and inflammation thrive off sugar and nowadays there are so many sugar alternatives that are safe and still sweet (erythritol, allulose, xylitol, monk fruit, swerve products). Even honey and organic maple syrup are high glycemic. I’d love to see more sugar alternative recipes but for now I just wing it by replacing your sugar ingredients with one of the above I mentioned. Love you Sarah! Keep up the great work.

Organic isn't always as good as it sounds, I'd suggest gluten free low carb and low sugar, if we're going for the healthiest kind of meals

Please make minimalism contents in this channel I really enjoy your minimalism series

Ahh Sarah!!! I never get tired of your content and I’m so obsessed with it! Seeing you put your camera up to film and make videos is so encouraging and I love that you can still spend time with your kids and be in the presence while making your creamer, bread crumbs, pickled vegetables and many more things. I love how you are a house maker and I am so obsessed with these new videos every week!! I can’t wait to be on this level of making homemade bread and many other things like you!! I look up to you so much and Ilysm! I hope you’re having an amazing day 💕

Yes i was struggling as a mom of 6 months old baby. But after watching you doing all stuff alone taking care of your kids give me courage and help me to overcome postpartum depression.. I used to be cabin attendant and now totally house wife and mom stuff made me depressed sometimes. But now no more. I am proud to be a mom now😊.. Thank you sara for this ❤.. Lot of love for you and your family

I love that you avoid seed oils for your everyday commonly eaten foods, but not for your sometimes treat foods. That’s such a great attitude to have.

Ahhh Sarah! This new content is just so life-giving. Loved your old content but also I'm glad you've found your voice on RU-vid once again.

I love that realistic mama/homemaker wisdom. Keep it coming!

Sarah, when I say that you have changed my life, I truly mean it. I have found myself through serving my family and taking care of our home - it's a drive like no other, I know you know the feeling. So much of my inspiration comes from you; from organization, to shopping bulk, delicious recipes, cleaning tips...you have sprinkled your magic throughout our home in California. I loved your older content but truly LIVING for your new channel. I would love to see some homemade baby and toddler food recipes. Maybe even a breakdown of how you feed everyone efficiently. But I encourage you to keep creating whatever is bringing you joy, because we all eat it up.

I’d love to see what you consider to be your kitchen ‘go-to’ items. Or rather what you find yourself using the most in your day to day cooking.

Would you mind telling me where you got your shirt? It looks very pretty!!

As a professional cleaner (I actually love what I do and turned it into my own business), I appreciate how clean you keep your home. And the functionality of your kitchen. ..can we talk about the drawers in your pantry? They are fantastic!

Too old for applesauce pouches? I’m 38 and love them 😊😊

how do you clean your zipperbags? do you just put them in the dishwasher? glad you're back :D

I would love a dedicated video about bread. How you make your sour dough and keep it going. About your bread maker, and a list of some of the breads you make. How you store your bread and freeze/save if you do that.

Sarah, your content blesses me. I'm 33 and single with no kids (yet). I wholly believe the season for marriage and motherhood is coming, and the things you share have been preparing my heart for the fulfillment of God's promises of a family in my life. Thank you, much love, and I bless you in Jesus Name 🙏 ❤️

That ending 😭 thank you Sarah, that encouragement was sorely needed and gratefully received 💗

Love your videos!! Where are your denim shorts from? So cute!

Thank you for your encouragement! Being a mama who is sick and taking care a baby who is also recovering is hard and doing the daily homemaking routine. ❤ I get it. Through this week I’ve struggled in trying to be perfect and compare myself to other moms and their home. This really helps!

Ahh that ending❤ thanks for making me feel proud and honoured for taking care of my family everyday 💕

Can you do a video about postpartum and how you "bounce" back? Mom of 4 and I can not lose the weight and get close to pre baby weight since #2. I want another baby but don't want to until I can get my weight under control for my saftey and babies.

The chicken tendon tip is soooo amazing!!! I have always struggles trying to cut it out! I love your videos!!! Thanks for sharing💜

Thanks for the new video Sarah! Anyone know where the Jean shorts are from? I’m always looking for cute modest short options!

Where did you get those shorts

How do you wash/dry/ store your ziplocs? I hate that they take up so much space when washing and drying. Any hacks? Thanks!

Sarah! Can you please make a video on a day in your life from waking up to night. Like how your day is scheduled. Also if you can please share how you stay in amazing shape being a mama. Like what do you eat, exercise you do to have abs and stuff. It would help us all of us as mammas. Thank and love that you’re back!!!!

Oh please do a baby food prep video!! Would love to expand my current go to list

I love your videos. I recognize that shopping in bulk is cost effective, however, it’s difficult for us because we don’t have the space to store everything. 💕💕💕

You’re crazy, I’m 29 and those applesauce packs are my favorite snacks haha

I love your short Sarah! ❤ for someone like me who doesn’t like short shorts that length is perfect!! Can you pls let us know where you bought those pls!!🙏🥰

I love how the truth about oils are more prevalent! My family owned a 'health food shop' and so much is full of with sunflower, palm, canola oil, any other 'pufas'. Theyre industrial seed oils only introduced in the late 1900s. So damaging

I love how you always seem so calm and content. You are very down to earth and simplicity is what it's all about 🌟

Yesssss! Of all the years watching you I’ve always wanted these videos 👏 👏

I agree on not having too much food stored, I have what I need and it's much easier to do a shopping list when you only have to look in a few cupboards :) on top of that there's less waste and you end up saving money!

favorite cookbooks or instagram acocunts/vlogs for quick healthy meals for one (I can start to meal prep)? Love reading/watching cooking videoes, but trying to build up the motivation to cook? Is Patreon where your receipes are posted?

Can you do a clothing haul? I’m sick of my wardrobe and curious how you shop!

Beautiful video! I love seeing grocery hauls 😂 not sure why but they're interesting to me as a stay at home mama! I have to ask though, do you have any childcare help? I saw both you and Kieran in the kitchen at some points with no kids around while you're getting a ton done. Is there someone else taking care of the kids/guiding homeschooling/simply playing? I only have one child and getting all that stuff done only while she's napping isn't possible. And if she's awake, she wants my attention or to be a part of the process, which would obviously make it harder! Anyway was just wondering if you could be more transparent about your childcare! Thank you!

I know that you know that u impact others but your impact is sooooo much more than you think… you are such an inspiration… I ve been checking your channel even though you left RU-vid and found out that you are back… I am so glad you are back with homemaking… actually I can’t explain in words how helpful your videos are. So much love for you and your family! God bless! ❤

Pre-packaged food is not my bag - pardon the pun! I have fresh broccoli and lasts ages and nothing in packets much. Some organic but not obsessive. Goat's cheese yes. Don't eat popcorn or chips and use olive oil. I don't like the idea of plastic next to my food and as the plastic breaks down is that good? It is all a bit too premeditated for me and I fed a family and did not drive and we always ate. Organised but life should be fun. Random is fun not wild.

Sarah - it might be time to retire the old Ziploc/bread bags. They break down over time and the plastic will start to get into your food. I think you would enjoy reusable silicone Stasher bags!

I am soooo glad I now know that I'm not the only person on this earth who cleans up their chicken breast. 😅 some will just throw all of it into a dish and it grosses me out. Meat in general grosses me out, but gross parts being cooked in a dish is a whole new level for me. 🤣 I have also started buying big chunks of roasts to split up into 2's or 3's and it saves us so much money and way less food waste.

Young mama of 2 here, still getting homemaking down to a science but lately I’ve been really leaning in. Your videos are so helpful and calming and make me feel like I can do it all. Been watching your videos while I do the nightly dishes the past few nights and it’s nice to see another mama who spends so much time in the kitchen like I do. Thanks for the encouragement, so so nice to hear. Looking forward to more of your content 💖

Hi Sarah, I have been loving seing you back on RU-vid, when I see your videos I can’t help but wondering how do you manage doing so much in the kitchen while having your kids at home. I know you want this channel to be about what you do in the kitchen but I would love for you to share at the end of your videos what your kids were doing. 💛

The ending made me so emotional! Needed to hear that encouragement, thank you.

I like the marinated chicken in ziploc bag idea 💡

Same here, I bought linen napkins to save money and went back to paper towels. If I lived alone, It will work lol

Look into reusable silicone storage bags. I bought a bunch from temu and I love them. Easier to clean and dry. I'll probably not buy plastic bags anymore. Ugh, trying so hard to eliminate all aluminum and plastic. I'm loving this new channel. Your recipes are always making me hungry and giving me new ideas. ❤

I am anti paper towels as well however I do buy them for guests and pet accidents because I had to clean up dog puke once without them and I threw the hand towel away 🤮

I would love to see how you make your baby foods and the different combinations that you do!

Your whole family eats 3 chicken breasts for dinner??? 😮

I see you from Spain and I love all your videos. A hug ❤

What a lovely video ❤ May I ask for the Superfood Coffee link?

I Sarah i am not seeing the Bloom ..did you say or the creamer recipe … thanks sweetie

Oh! Your videos aren’t linking at the end of your videos:/

3:43 I also buy that one! And I try to use it sparingly, not regularly! I feel like cane sugar truly feeds cancer and disease, so for me I like to sweeten with organic maple syrup from Costco or honey when possible! But I’m also an 80/20 girl so that’s why I keep that sugar around too 🤣

I make alot of freezer meals, and chicken marinades as well. I don't have a Costco but I do have a Sam's club. I haven't been in a long time though. I enjoy grocery hauls and share them on my channel!

Love the content! Also so cool you have your kids present. I watch so many other mommas on here and wonder where the heck their kids are? Mine are ALWAYS in the kitchen wanting my attention (or snacks). Thankful for the blessing of being a homemaker, it’s a job like no other.

I would absolutely love that brown sugar almond creamer recipe! How long will those groceries typically last your family? Sorry if I missed you saying that somehwere!

Do you have a recipe for your homemade jam? And I'd love to know your process of making baby food, too!

I love your new channel! Thank you for making these videos!❤

Please don’t feel guilty having someeeee paper towel on hand! Ok, I try to use actual towels- but sometimes you want something you can toss for things you don’t want to throw in the washer. How about draining bacon? How about wiping up stray poop? (If you have children stray poop happens eventually!) someone dropped a glass and it shattered? Paper towel helps get the shards up! Otherwise, try using washable towels for sure!

since you dont have dairy, how do you get your calcium?

Sarah how do you dry your ziplock bags after you wash them?? Thanks!!

I’ve never thought about marinating the chicken before putting it in the freezer. That’s such a good idea. We’ve been loving a honey mustard marinade lately.
