Dougherty Dozen And The Pantry Of Lies | Dirty Socks Abound 

She has the alcohol in the produce fridge bc she knows the kids won’t find it lol 😂

Alicia had a diagnosis at the doctor's office that wasn't very good, she said. But she wouldn't "get into" what it was. It makes me so mad how she spills all the kids personal info and medical issues, and behavioral problems, but when it comes to anything personal about herself, or even Josh, she's completely quiet about it. That really pissed me off. 😡

As a widowed wife and now single mother.... I have struggled, even with government assistance, to afford food and necessities... The GLUTTONY of this food and waste actually didn't make me angry... it made me get choked up with sadness... I wish I could afford even 1/10th of her unused food etc. I'm just sickened 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

I live in the states and we had many periods of food shortages. When the shutdown was first announced I went grocery shopping and everything was gone except gross stuff nobody wanted like canned sardines. I remember calling my mom to tell her it felt like the apocalypse. There was also many limits during the shutdown and afterwards on food like meats, breads, paper towels and toilet paper. Even baby supplies like food and diapers were low at times. You're very lucky if you didn't experience this, Josh.

I don’t know how her garage pantry isn’t infested with mice and other rodents!

Here's how you help kids who have food insecurity-- help them become part of the process of buying, storing, and cooking food. Have them help make a balanced meal plan (with a few treats added in), let them "shop" the pantry/freezers first, then make a grocery list together. Take them to the store and help them choose the best value for each item on the list, then they can help put everything away, rotating oldest to the front. Then let them help cook, while talking about appropriate portion sizes, and how to make leftovers into lunches or parts of other meals. That's how you calm food insecurity-- with education and reassurance. It'll take time and patience, nothing will change overnight, but it'll be worth it, and the kids will appreciate it later on.

When Alicia goes on about insecurities like food etc, she blames the kids for having the insecurity but deep down I believe it’s her, secretly she needs help.

We did have a lot of limits imposed during COVID here in NY, a lot of the stores did have a "2 packages of meat" and things like that. It honestly was kind of stressful, she isn't lying about that part. Even with the limits it wasn't uncommon to walk into the store and see the produce cases and shelves completely empty.... don't miss those days.

Now she's blaming the kids for her overstocking because she claims they tell her they need more of a certain item! Lady, there are villages in third world countries that need the food in your pantry WAY more than you do! Yes, your kids need to eat, but not the food you buy and make! You say you check your pantry before you shop but then you buy six carts worth of diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, obesity, heartburn, etc.

Okay, excuse me….I’m just gonna make some banana bread and stand on the street corner with an available sign 🤣🤣🤣🤷🏼‍♀️🍞🍌

I think it's funny that Lush puts the alcohol in the produce fridge cause the kids don't go in that one for a snack 😂😂

My stomach literally churned watching her spray cooking oil into her crap pot and then put microwave chili in there I can’t believe that’s what she feeds her children😭

The famous “It fell through” has made it into your content! Love it!!😂😂

Our grocery stores had limits during the pandemic, like 1-2 of a item per family. She’s not lying. I have to imagine that was a nightmare for her big family. I am in Ohio. Like I vividly remember a guy on the phone with his grandma needing to get her toilet paper too. But he couldn’t buy 2. So he asked a lady in line if she would buy one for him and he’d give her cash.

During the pandemic, here in Texas, you were only allowed to buy so much food at one time. And most of the food was not on the shelves. It was seriously very hard to get the groceries you needed for your household. I couldn't even imagine how she did it with a family of 14.

This is hilarious for a British person...we think we are well-stocked when we have two extra bags of pasta...these weird American preppers have about 100! What a 'family'. Josh, I have been watching for a year but never commented...love your coverage of this horrorshow. Keep on snarking x

Based on her stock pile, I feel like she came from a home that didn’t have a lot of food or money for food. So she’s hoarding food out of habit and fear of going broke and not being able to eat.

I'm in the states. When the pandemic hit, everybody went out and panic bought everything. Shelves were wiped out. Everything got wiped out. We struggled to get even the bare minimum

There absolutely was and still are food shortages here in the US. Shelves are still empty in sections of stores. I often wondered how people fed big families.

One of her mottos is "Get Organized " and she is literally the most unorganized person alive!

I bet if we go back to her videos during the pandemic we can see she didn’t have a shortage of food

We are a family of 8, and it was stressful during the pandemic with the limits that was put on purchases. I went to the grocery store every day for the same reason she said. Our stores would only allow 1 loaf of bread, 1 dozen eggs, and so on. Also, trucks would come every day to deliver food, but would stock up different parts of the store. One day the bread was stocked and the eggs were empty, the next day eggs, but no bread. There were tons of shelves empty. She isn’t making that part up. We were fortunate enough that my husband is an essential worker, and we already homeschooled, so our lives did not change that much, except me going to the grocery store every day rather than every couple of weeks.

I saw an article about them and she says the reason they do not help with chores is because "They didn't ask to be a part of a large family so they shouldn't have to do extra chores just because they are." [they] "already missed out on a childhood due to their traumatic past."

My mum always said that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach and looks like she was right Josh 😂

I live in New York and I remember only being allowed to buy like 2 jars of peanut butter at a time and one package of toilet paper at a time. There were limits on other things as well but I can’t remember them all. That part she actually isn’t lying about.

I remember watching a video of hers with her father or father in law clearing out her fridges, the amount of food she was throwing away into garbage bags was mind blowing, I wish I could find the video, but I tell you....I was shocked!

Idc how much money I ever come into I will always be thrifty and use everything I am blessed to have. All the food she has should be able to last that family at LEAST a month.

"Youre a shelf" idk why that made me laugh so hard 😂

Her kids are dairy sensitive yet she has a fridge full of dairy. Why? I find myself wondering how she used to clean houses for a living. Can you imagine her cleaning your house?

Love how the alcohol fridge is so easily accessible to the kids…. When you’ve admitted you had a kid take alcohol…. I bet this house smells so bad.

In Australia during the height of COVID we definitely had limits on some foods like canned food, pasta, pasta sauce, minced meat, flour, frozen veg. Usually it was a limit of 1 or 2 per shop, no matter the size of the item.

The real question is: if she shops like this bc of food insecurity and to stock up, why did she shop the exact same way whenever they went on vacation AND THEN left all the extra there?

I am dying about the spray oil comment. Your so right! Why the heck is she spraying oil in the pot to warm up the pre cooked chili ?!

during the pandemic, there were food restrictions. I work at a grocery store and we had very strict limits because there were so many people that were panic buying. the register limited quantities of high demand items such as meat. canned foods, paper products and dairy items. these limits ensured that there was enough for everyone to purchase but still we had situations were our shelves were wiped cleaned. I don't like Lush but there were shortages and limits here. (I live on the east coast)

In England (or at least in my area) we were only allowed in our local shop once a day and there were limits but it made life fun 😅 we'd take our daily walk to the shop to buy what we could, making sure we didn't break the 1 hour rule! 😂 then home to bake cakes and get drunk on zoom. Ah what a life 😂

I absolutely love that you give tips about cooking!

She shows her fridge every day and never seen any leftovers LOL

LMFAO I lost it when she was spraying the crackpot and you said she's the reason we have a hole in the ozone. 😂😂😂

I just want to mention how considerate Josh is at his in-laws house. I'm sure you were dying to yell out some of the crazy stuff she does. Kudos to you Josh, for being so respectful at your in-laws and it shows your character 😃.

I was just trying to have a nap with a nice story in the background, and here comes this intro!!! 😂😂😂😂

She has the audacity to blame her shopping addiction on her children's 'insecurities'!!

In germany the "food situation" during lockdown and pandemic in general was apocalyptic. Just as she said....everything was limited and shelves were bare. I've been going shopping 2 - 3 times a day, every day, through several shops just to get the basics. Stressful AF, my friend.

My question is what is going to happen when these kids leave home and cannot afford to buy a giant abundance of food with their average pay checks? Instead of getting them therapy to help cope with their food insecurities, she feeds into it. Josh and Alicia are doing absolutely nothing to help these kids... it’s heartbreaking. Imagine the panic they will feel when they’re adults, and can’t hoard food themselves.

I'm doing a pantry clean out and what I've been able to make without going to the store has been amazing.

Lush gives me anxiety. The way she “organizes” her food. Ugh- part of not being wasteful is moving the old food to the front. Ps We don’t care for the set up. We just enjoy your snark! Happy Friday.

I live in the states. In the very very beginning of the pandemic, like when everyone started to realize it was happening. Yes, shelves were wiped out. It was happening daily for 2 weeks. Hence the limit on grocery items. I remember my boyfriend and I both going grocery shopping because we had to shop for our home and for my grandmother. It was hell. I do not miss that time period.

Family of 8. I was oldest child. I learned to cook from my grandma and spent so much time prepping and making sure the food was delicious and that everyone would love it. We were poor and never knew it because we made stuff from scratch and planted a garden. Potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers and.yellow squash. We ate really well to have very little money to. This is such a sad situation for this family here. The kids know that there is no effort here.also there were some food limits during the pandemic but it was very few and far between. Not that much limiting. Sad she uses this as an excuse.

We had food shortages in Australia too. I had 4 kids and the stores didn't care. Everyone got the exact same restrictions whether you had 2 kids or 12.

I would have a stroke if we had that many open bags of chips and boxes of cereal.

We had trouble getting food during the pandemic. We live in a small town and people panic bought everything

I remember limits on TP and hand sanitizer, but not food. Maybe there were rules for different states. 🤷‍♀️

I can't speak for everywhere in the US but I know of a few states where food was definitely scarce during the pandemic. There were also limits on how much you could buy of certain foods. I recall only 4 canned goods & 1 pack of meat per visit. But even with the limits most of the food was gone. Most people in my city went shopping when the stores opened in the morning with the hope they could find a bigger supply. Then the stores only allowed senior citizens to come during the first 2 hours of opening. I remember my son & I stocked up on beams & rice out of fear there would be nothing left. It was really bad

My vacuum made that noise today!!! I checked the hoses. Apparently I need to change the bag. Thanks for the tip!!

Heather Bell said she dealt with kids with food securities and her way of dealing with this was to have the dinner menu every week and they would eat at the same time plus a cabinet with little snacks and juice boxes the kids would have access to.

At first I thought your hat said wegmans 😂 I was like omg josh that is COMMITMENT! Lol

Yes. I have a pantry also ( not nearly like this). I keep thinking she needs to meal plan around what she has, not meal plan and buy all new. I buy what is on sale only and make my meal plans from what is available in my pantry and extra freezer.

I'm in NY and yes, we did have horrible food limits. 1 loaf of bread, I box of Mac and cheese, 1 gallon of milk. This lasted a few months at least. I have a family of 6 and it was tough. No, I don't like her and think she's crazy lol

The food pantry is insane!! With all of that extra food that kids are not going to eat, she can donate to homeless shelters or church food pantries.

Awesome video as always but how have I never heard of freezing waste until bin day to avoid bugs? Genius!!!!!!

Yes food was very shortage and most of the common items had a 4 limit and I couldnt even explain how empty. The shelves were here in Ohio.

I can imagine her electricity bill all those fridges plus all the electronics being used omg 😅

Why doesn’t she cook her own food and get the kids to join in, they might learn a skill!!!!!

I love the Nelly lyric you casually slid in there 😂😂😂 I just can’t… it takes me 5 mins to pack away groceries because we rotate and only buy within our means 🤦🏼‍♀️

In Kansas City we definitely had food buying limits and people were panic buying like crazy.

So here in Florida we had food shortage. There was weeks with no water, milk, baby food, and anything canned. The companies could not get plastic or aluminum . Any canned dog or cat food was empty for months sometimes. It was rough for a while here. And when stuff did come in it had limits on items you could get.

I agree with you on everything here except for the food situation in the pandemic. I live in the US (MN). Stores had signs in entrances and on shelves listing the quantity limits on high demand foods. Fortunately, we are a small family, and we were fine. However, it was scary knowing you couldn't just have a regular "stock up" shopping trip like we were used to. Not saying I agree with her, but I know here it felt very much like "end times". As always, love your videos! And I just made 2 loaves of banana bread this week !

We had heaps of food shortages and limits in Australia through the pandemic. Rice, pasta, canned goods, frozen vegetables, meat... most items. There were heavy restrictions on going state to state so trucks with supplies had a hard to going though boarders. Then we had fires and floods that damaged train lines, stopping freight even further. It was pretty insane.

She needs to donate some of her cans to a food pantry

I used to love watching dd till josh made me realise what she was doing

Down here in Florida there was a short time when the stores were limiting the water, paper products, and chicken to 2-3 packs per person. But definitely not a limit on Doritos, hot pockets, or ice cream 😂

Here in Australia we had food shortages because people were unnecessarily buying up all the food on the shelves during the pandemic there were times I couldn’t buy nappies,baby wipes ,bread, frozen goods/frozen veggies,any dry cupboard items like rice,pasta, noodles ect because there was 0 on the shelves. Our stores had purchase limits on most of the items.

I watched the Bells 10 earlier and she showed her pantry too, and while it was very organised and she makes a lot of her own jams and pickles etc She also had an abundance of groceries.

We are close to Chicago, and we had tons of shortages and food limits. If she is lying then shame on her because it was a very real scary time for many families here. I still have photos I sent to my sister in AZ freaking out because my picky kids couldn't get their nuggets and the shelves were empty lol, do not miss that.

In Canada we had a limit on Lysol products and toilet paper I also remember during that trucker strike that there was a few shortages a food but nothing major

Yes, there was restrictions on certain items, I completely agree. BUT…..1 can of fruit? 2 pieces of chicken? Yeah nooooooooo. That’s a lie.

She did plenty of grocery hauls during the pandemic, she has enough videos to prove it the liar. Wow she is unreal

Food was definitely scare here during the pandemic, especially things like bread. Even the ingredients to bake your own bread were extremely difficult to get hold of. I ordered flour and yeast for literally WEEKS before I got any of it, and I couldn't go into the store because I was 'shielding' due to health issues. I didn't leave the house for months. It was a nightmare. Dunno what Lush's excuse is.

During the pandemic cleaning supplies, tp and paper towels were limited. The stores didn’t have everything they normally stocked every week, but there was adequate food to choose from.

Lmao this video was hilarious, cuz you were trying to quiet and we can tell it just made the commentary and jokes so much funnier. I don’t know why. 😂

There was food shortages here in the states. It was more than just TP. I remember our local Walmart was wiped out! The store was completely empty! It was the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. To actually walk through a grocery store and all the shelves were empty. People are crazy, hoarding pigs! Lol.

I'm in NY. They did put limits on food during the pandemic. We did have some wierd sortages...like pasta. They would allow you to buy like 2 gallons of milk, only so many cans of stuff. There were limits on meat. But you could go to different stores to get extra if you needed it.

Here in Western Australia we had massive food shortages and limits on so many different products. We still have food shortages due to different events such as flooding and train derailments. It's scary and sucks but we don't hoard food because it just makes the situation worse for everyone!!

I know in Idaho it got a little hairy on certain foods when we got our first few cases and shelves were looking empty, it was hard to find basic shelf items. So flour yeast sugar canned foods. We could find most of the perishable stuff but things that could last two or more weeks during a possible quarantine were hard to come by

Here in the states people did panic buy and the shelves got wiped out so the stores did impose limits on items for awhile while they got the shelves restocked(for example we could only buy 1 loaf of bread, 1 cartoon of eggs, etc at a time) for a big family it was very frustrating. But even with that being said, that doesn’t explain her crazy spending NOW. She’s nuts.

Love the Dougherty dozen videos, something about when you do them just ALWAYS makes me have a good laugh

Are there any videos of hauls during the pandemic? Would be interesting

I love that picture you have on your wheel there that's hilarious LOL

I’m in Australia and we definitely had limits on food and very empty shelves! Where I am we still have some limits and things that are tricky to come by

she can afford to feed her family real food, that pantry is wild

There was such a shortage of food here in Western Massachusetts during the pandemic in 2020. I lost my car two months before the big shutdown and had to walk six miles each way to Walmart and buy whatever they had left on their bare shelves that could fit in my backpack and walk home. It was brutal. My job shutdown and it was truly a terrifying time. There was a limit of two loaves of breads per person and one pack of toilet paper per person. I had to walk to a food pantry for food to feed my kid. You’re right about most things Josh but on this one you’re incorrect, it was like an apocalypse in the US during the pandemic in 2020.

Thank you DCP for sharing and making my 😅😂🤣😂🤣😂😅😅hysterically

We definitely had food limits at Loblaws during the Pandemic. It was like 2 *PACKAGES* of chicken, not pieces. We also got super wiped out for a lot of our stock. So that's true, but embellished lol. Also yeah, it's over....

she does everything but emotionally connect with her kids

More than once I broke down in the cashier lanes during pandemic. I was shopping for my handicapped dad and all the stores had limits on most of the store. Shelves were empty.

Here in Melbourne Australia we had hard lockdowns and also a lot of grocery limits. Often we would go into the shops and there would be no meat on the shelves or rice or pasta. We couldn’t plan a week of meals until in the store with what was available, and we weren’t supposed to drive out of our 5km radius to go further. Toilet paper was a massive issue here too. Don’t believe she actually buys what’s she needs though!

When my mom worked at Kroger during Covid 19 she would have shopped in the morning for food because it would been taking in like hours

During the pandemic, some things were sold out, but you just pivot and find something else. When chicken breast was sold out, I just bought a chuck roast and made it stretch. My Autistic daughter has some food preferences, and had a hard time finding a few of her favorites. Some things had limits at some stores, but not all stores and not all items!

Yes, there were limits on food purchases in NY. I'm downstate in Brooklyn. To avoid people hoarding, food stores limited people buying up food like Alicia. Eggs limited to a dozen, chicken packages, milk, etc. What she is doing is insane.

At this point I'm convinced that her jeans didn't come with those holes, but sort of like how the bacteria in swiss cheese makes holes, the foul filth on them has just eaten the holes in there.

Her "pantry" could feed our family for months :/
