FAMILY OF 12 WEEKLY GROCERIES 

🧡🧡🧡

I also find this extremely relaxing and satisfying for me!

Omg her grocery list cost a mortgage for a week how can they do it God bless you

@@DoughertyDozen how much does it cost?

@@baby19404 yeah if they have 10 kids yall better be able to afford it. her wife must be a doctor or a shop owner.

Definitely

The 2 dogs and 8 chickens cost a lot too for feed and everything else they need

I loveeee ketchup chips. Bodhi will go nutssssssfor these......i loveeeeee them

She and her family is blessed for having such a considerate mom and resources to take in consideration all the kids * special needs and likes . Also the relaxed and showing every product is very sats fying .

Growing up my parents decided what I ate. Sure there was some meals that I did not like, but it was what it was. And that expanded my palate. Today we are too touchy feely about kids preferences and we do not need to cater to all likes, unless it is a food intolerance.

@@vonlipi just because you didn’t have something in your childhood doesn’t mean others shouldn’t have it either. And so many parents teach and raise their kids so differently, there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not harming a child? They may not have an “extended pallet” but not everyone needs to be the same, yea??? And for people with mental disorders it’s not as easy as “eating it anyway”. if you pay attention it’s actually explained many of her kids have these food preferences because they have autism and other mental problems. Even if it wasn’t because of mental disorder, so what!! I don’t see why having certain food preferences is such a crime. Times change, and some people have the privilege and right to cater to their likes. even if they didn’t there’s nothing wrong with others not living how you used to “back in the day”.

@@jordanmolinaro8414 you are on fire!

I remember being forced to sit at the table until i ate all my food.

@@GothicaBeauty Likewise. unfortunately id get yelled at and sometimes hit for it :/ it really implants bad eating habits in the long run.. i understand food shortages but its never helped by forcing a child to eat (especially if its something they don't enjoy), when you could just save it for later.. or have someone else eat it. :'/

We had a competition like that when i was a cashier but you ended up getting a gift card for being the fastest. I won

when I worked at aldi the larger orders were definitely a favorite. They made the day go by so fast and you get to have nice chats with those customers❤

I agree, the longer orders are better as you can talk to the customer xx

/ As a former cashier / l would love to ring up a massive order like that / lt is much preferred over several smaller orders . Funny enough the store where l used to work we had a friendly competition where we saw who scanned the most items per minute / on average / each week and thus would definitely help with that competition /

Love hearing how much you remember about each kid . You can tell you really pay attention to each one and really care them . Thanks for sharing your shopping trip .

🧡🧡🧡

I agree, I would need a note pad for some of it!

I was impressed she didn't have to cross off items on her grocery list as she got them. If I did that I would end up with extra of somethings and none of others.

FOR STARTING WITH HER ADOPTION CHILDREN AND HER HUSBAND WORK AND IAM VERY, VERY SURE SHE HAS A INCOME COMING IN THEN SHE GETS HER LITTLE MONEY FROM UTUBE.

@@cathyjackson9254 she makes an absolute killing from social media. She mentioned in a deleted video that she makes up to $40,000 per month on sponsorships for social media.

@@theoboegoddess oh i had no idea. That is how she can afford so much. I wish to that my mum could afford so much when me and my sibilings was small and now aswell. I feel jelous but of course in a good way that im glad she has it but i wish to be rich aswell. God bless her

@@theoboegoddess that's crazy. I understand why she would delete that - not everyone needs to know your business! her morning routines, shopping trips, vacation videos + birthday videos are more than fulfilling!

@@theoboegoddess do you even have a clue how fastttttttt that goes with 12children??????? She needs every penny of any money she can get to just have dr visits and meds and health needs for each and every child....not to mrntion meds for everyone and clothes and new shoes for the ever changing shoes sizes and clothes and coats and omggggg it goes on and.....for 12.....i so know how hard its been for me to just get. basics for myself and 2 sons......that is why i defend her anytime any one comes in and starts in on the meals or what they do do. More focus needs to point out how much. Better all the kids are doing......the parents have worked so well to keep them talking and sharing how the kids feel and if they need to talk about something......they all are more settled and natural in front of the camera..... And im amazed. far they have all progressed!!!

Helps to shop on a Friday night at Costco. I find it to be pretty quiet.

I have social anxiety, in my local Costcos, it's always packed no matter what day, and on top of that the people are so RUDE. They don't move whether you say excuse me or not and they never say excuse me either.

@@janedee6126 same! We canceled our membership because it just wasn't worth the stress

I know you / ve mentioned in the past how over whel ming Costco can be which , as a person who has anxiery l can totally agree . I promise it does gets easier the more familiar you get with the store . But a tip for you that l love about Costco is their bulk over the counter meds and toiletries . Allergy meds , pain meds , reflux meds , lactose pills , first aid , soaps , bath room essentials the list goes on and on . Though this might be help ful / / Love your vids /

I second that! Amazing how her videos help. God bless you !

@@GemsOfGrace God bless you too!! ✌💜

❤❤❤

Jesus is the Light girl, when you feel depressed go to Him. He is the way the truth and the life! God bless you.

@@lydiad9575 God Bless you too! 💜

Agree 100%

I love seeing the New York prices as they are more realistic for Canadians to compare to / And the regular flavour of cheese curds is probably the best for your first time having poutine /

Well the Netherlands where i am from it is now almost impossible to buy grocerys 😢

You didn't know about printer paper? Girl I babysat since I was 12 and figured that out early LOL.. I had my first son when I was 22 and when he started wanting to draw that's what I gave him,especially as he got bigger because he really loved to draw and is actually really good at it to so yeah it allowed him to draw as much as he wanted without costing me a pretty penny

@@FloridaManYT lol yeah, I mean I knew printer paper existed….but the thought just never occurred to me to buy a big pack of it for drawing 😂. I would always buy my daughter packs of construction paper, poster board, etc….but like you said, they cost a pretty penny! It was like a lightbulb went off in my head when I heard her mention buying printer paper, and it was a huge ‘DUH’ moment for me lol

Printer paper is such a good idea for drawing / colo ring / l feel like l / m constantly buying those thin sketch pads for my daughter . She loves drawing , but only wants the * white paper * . . . . and those sketch printer paper in bulk / /

What a memory on her , I only raised 3 kids and had a hard time remembering which food each one liked 🤣! She’s amazing

I used to teach and I’d say to children ‘is anyone hurt, dying or dead, is the ceiling of the classroom going to fall in, or is the sky going to drop on our heads?’ Meaning physically, emotionally or mentally when things went wrong. If not…relax! It can’t be that big of a problem. I remember being a child and being terrified if I was such a horrendous child because I did things such as …use a ‘wrong’ colour pen, made the margin of my book wonky, didn’t use a ruler & pencil to cross out a wrong word, put brackets around it blah, blah…loads of different ways because each subject and teacher had their own way. Or writing the short date as in for Maths in a French book for example. As a child I was extremely nervous, so when I began teaching I thought about it and decided why cares 🤷🏼‍♀️ So what if a child missed a page in their book, ruled a line with a pen, wrote their geography work in a maths book…it’s completely ridiculous. Why petrify children? No one can learn effectively if they’re scared. People can’t be happy if they have that much stress in their life. Who is going to take a risk, be brave or push themselves if they are too scared to? How would we have found tests for a thyroid test, baking powder makes cakes rise, internet….🤷🏼‍♀️ People might assume I ran a classroom like a zoo, but nope, I was strict where it mattered. A supposed boss couldn’t stand it because I could control full school of 375 without needing to say a work, no anger, shouting, threats etc, or that I could do playtime on my own and didn’t need to use a bell or anything else to get them into quiet, straight lines to go back into school. Then take the youngest children in first, then the other classes followed until the 11 year olds would lock the door behind them. No fuss, no stress, just lines of children leading themselves to their class. As a child I had some undiagnosed issues, Aspergers, EDS, dyscalculia, dysautonomia, POTS…. I would get sooo stressed, exhausted, fatigued and stressed that I’d know there was no way I could go to school the next day. Nor should children not want to go to school because they feared a teacher or one of the biggest stress in my life…a teacher who had her favourites and no one else mattered. A classmate would copy my work and another friend’s we’d get 2/10 she’d get 9/10 😤🤷🏼‍♀️. What child will keep up their self esteem and effort, not fear going to a class when their book is thrown at them and treated like crap. So, I can see how chilled she is, it’s so important to stay relaxed. I see channels about families and they aren’t that, it’s fake too, their children look miserable or anxious. Take the family who ‘rehomed’ 😤 their child with autism!

Was just thinking the same. Could not have said it better myself

I’m a mom of 4 and when we have quiet time in the afternoon I put on one of these videos and just relax. Then I feel refreshed, motivated and inspired to tackle all the things when quiet time is over.

Alicia, I am so glad you mentioned the green peppers….I get very sick when I eat any green pepper no matter if it is raw or cooked. But I can eat the red, yellow, and orange and have no problems…..I love to make stuffed colored peppers. I just hate it that they are so expensive….. ut we get them because my husband knows how sick I get…..When we were kids at home we had lots of green peppers I. Our food. All of my family used them. It was awful. I was miserable. After I got married, I told my husband this and he always makes sure we have colored ones…💙💙💙💙💙

From WA state here. and I thought the same thing! Prices are the same or even cheaper in some cases than here- and many more choices!

Wegman’s is awesome!

I'm in east Bay area and our stores looks like crap compared to other states! Even Target. We live in one of the richest areas and they look like junk comparatively.

❤️

did it help?

@@xoxomoemoe it did for planning recipes! I’m a big mood shopper when it comes to snacks though haha

It is great way to meal plan......and when you decide what toget for each meal or dishyou want to make...you can keep track as you go how much things cost. So you can plan exactly what it willcost.....of course remember food prices are ever changing right now....so leave room for prices going up. So you wont go over your balance.... Use coupons. And check for sales in a couple of different stores. I generally shop in 3 or 4 different places and go to them to check for sales...it helps if the regular things you get ....you can catch a sale and get a few items at that place if you can...

So do I 😀👍🏻

Really my mother always made lovely lasagne when I was a child she always just put the sheets in dry I have an 8 year old who loves lasagne so would love to make it but always terrified the pasta will still be hard and crunchy so I just by premade lasagne instead

@@yvonnemurphy5965 Try you will be amazed in oven 180 deg for 45mins i allways make lasagne with dried pasta sheets me and hubbie love lasagna.Im a retired cook and still love home made meals and baking

@@georginarigg8463 Thank you so much I'm definitely going to try as buying it premade is costly and they are never big enough either so need 2 we all like lasagne but my 8 year old really loves it 😀

@@yvonnemurphy5965 Aww your welcome.You will have to let me know how you went on im sure you will do a great job

Did she say anyone complained haha, sorry if I'm wrong but didn't think she said that any cashier complained.

@@harryholland9953 she has said in other videos multiple times that cashier don't like the process abd either get frustrated or overwhelmed

@@mahikakashyap9847 ah right sorry haha, I don't see why the get irritated because less food going to waste etc and she goes there regually so they must know she is coming every week anyway just my opinion.

I would love taking her through the checkout… she seems so chill and nice that I would pray that she came to me

@@adyandleo72211 yes, absolutely!!

Yes. Their food needs. They need lots of sugar, apparently.

@@bryanrussell1596 a treat in their lunches isnt a lot of sugar. When you are feeding ten children it goes pretty quickly.

I / m so used to watching videos of what soiety calls * normal families * but it / s so refreshing to see how you work around their food needs and what THEY want to eat . I / m a new subscriber and love your content /

Of course, Canadians are so famous for smearing ketchup all over their 🍟🍅🍅🍅👌💗💗💗!

@@terrylynn9984 on the contrary. My American relatives assure me they had never heard of ketchup on 🍟 until they visited Canadian diners. I was surprised. They were pulling my leg?

Dont forget canadian bacon

Loveeecanadianbacon

@@MyVintageLife yesssss. Americans have used ketchup on fries as long as I can remember back to 1960s....dont forget....as soon as McDonalds opened...AMERICANS HAVE BEEN USING KETCHUP ON FRIES AND BURGERS AND HOTDOGS....AND LOTS OF OTHER THINGS....SOME KIDS EAT KETCHUP ON BREAD AS A SANDWICH!!!!!

🧡🧡🧡

I understand. It's like therapy... knowing there's GOOD CARING parents still around.

The care you take for each of your children touches me so dee ply , l am lactose intolerant and growing up , my parents refused to buy lactose free milk , saying l just needed to get over it , so seeing somebody actually care about what their kids can and cant eat and drinks makes me so happy

I was wondering the same thing. Shocked at how much you have to spend to feed your family. Do you have a monthly budget for food? You're a great mom to get each of your kids their favorites.

I was thinking that same thing..how the heck does she afford this??

@@patriciahagedorn5694 36.00 each for shampoo/conditioner- I wouldn't call that budgeting.

Her hubby works and she has YT which at this point is a good income.

Good question and it's not economy sizes at, life is good

🥰🥰🥰

But that sounds like a good family too, providing you with food etc the best they could.

My parents bought more of the convenience foods and I would have loved for a home grown, home cooked meal. I am now a balance between the two. I make a ton from scratch and have a garden, but we definitely had frozen chicken nuggets, fries, and juice boxes for lunch yesterday. I think as long as there is love put behind it, there isn’t a right way to feed your family.

@@Rjmaaske yes definitely agree as long as there is love in the family and food is provided and your children are safe that's what matters. Well done you sound like your doing a great job too. I went to bed most nights hungry as a child. Not my mother's fault more my dad's. I am 50 now I live in the UK I have GrandDaughters now. My husband and I did our best to provide for our kids I made sure they didn't go to bed hungry.

You sound like you come from a good wholesome family that doesn't buy junk. I have watched this video and she clearly needs to learn how to make more homemade items to save money. I couldn't imagine spending over $100 on ribs!!! And I would buy elbow macaroni and cheese and make homemade mac and cheese. A lot cheaper and you can make a lot more!

How wonder ful that you are mind ful of each child / s preferences . That is such a power ful way of saying * l see you . I hear you . feelings are im portant to me . * You are a mother of many children and none to spare / Precious all /

Canadian here / You did buy the right things for the poutine / except here in canada they sell poutine sauce at the store instead of regular beef broth / Enjoy it / s such a fun monday activity / / /

I miss when the stores were open 24 hours bc I would shop at 4am!

🥰🥰🥰

Thank you!!

Love all these hauls . I also separate my trips , by products and store . Walmart for pet food , cans , and beverages / Dollarama for house hold things / the local grocery for veggies and proteins . You are lucky you can find everything you need in one place /

🧡🧡🧡

🥰🥰🥰

@@DoughertyDozen 🥰🥰🥰🙏

You did really good with all the Canada stuff / / You made this Canadian proud / / The closest thing to Montreal smoked meat if you can / t find it would be pastrami or corned beef but roast beef one rye would be delicious you think about each individual kid . As 1 of 1 0 kids myself l know it can be hard to share the attention and make sure everyone gets things they like

I can’t get over lobster tails!

Yeah, for a family of 12 I would think she needs to budget and plan her meals based on what’s on sale and buy in bulk at Costco or BJ’s to save even more.

She makes an insane amount of money from social media. That's why she can afford to buy 5 carts of food at Wegman's, haha!

I love how you go along and know just what you / re looking for in each section and have your carts mostly sectioned out . You / re fantastic / / / Happy Birthday Zoe / / / l hope y / all have a wonder ful week ahead .

I take care of my two nieces / in prep for fostering / adopting / and l just adore how much attention you put into each child . It's wonder ful honestly

It's amazing how she ls so organized and knows what every kid wants / / / Love your family / / / / /
