FAMILY OF 13 GROCERY HAUL 

I was 33 when I adopted my son. Once he asked when I would quit calling him my baby. Never! When I’m 99 and he’s 66, he will always be my baby.

Hi Alicia! I’m from Sydney Australia! We love love love your videos!! One of my sons.. Jade is 9 years old and has autism level 3 and severe intellectual disability.. we’ve had the worst food issues with him since the day he was born! Some days it’s like we are trying to force feed him arsenic.. it’s hard! He literally will only eat 6 different foods.. none of which are good for him.. we’ve tried everything from feeding specialists.. to OT programs for feeding disorders.. now we let him eat what he’s comfortable with and supplement his diet with Pediasure.. we had bloods done recently and he’s very healthy! Which was a shock! His 6 year old sister is also bigger then him! 🤣.. thank you again for your videos.. my fav thing to do is put my AirPods in and do my chores to your videos!! ❤

Do not share medical information about your children. They cannot give permission for this and it is not your story to tell

Hi Alicia, thank you for sharing about Bodhi. My 7 year old has ARFID and i find it sooooooooooo hard to feed her, it's a struggle everyday and messes with her general health. At this point im happy to see any food at all go in her mouth. Its soul destroying to watch. Hugs

Sorry, I don't care what's happening on tv....my kids will help bring in groceries, husband too!

God bless you for helping them families because as a single parent dependent on food stamps to make ends meet I know they are grateful!!

🌺 Aloha Alesia, That was really nice of you to tell the biological parents to shop in your garage for food. That’s awesome and sweet of you, to help them out because they did not receive anything from SNAP! It must be hard for them. Mahalo (Thank you) for sharing your vlog. You must be tired traveling on the red eye flights. Now, maybe your husband can help you out more and the oldest children to ask you if you need help? Say, yes! If not call them to take the groceries out of the van or bus! Have a good day! 😋 ☕️ 🤙🏽

Hi Alicia.. I love all your grocery hauls.. Plus to me personally i love the long one's. I don't know why, but they brighten my day.❤❤

Are all the meals processed, fast food, sugar? I don’t understand how you can feed these kids junk all the time!! Can you post a home cooked meal from scratch??? Like peeling potatoes for mashed potatoes, salad, meatballs recipe??

Awe girl, your so awesome to be there for the kid’s biological families ❤❤❤ That made me Bawl my eyes out. Me and my mother would do that for people also. We have to have each others backs. ❤❤❤

'We're all done with sweets".... Proceeds to get 4 boxes of Brownies, 2 boxes of Cream pies, and 6 packages of cookies.

This gives me a new appreciation for my grandmother, who was a single mother to 12 children ❤️ you rock!

Hi Alicia & Family,I so enjoy your grocery hauls.Have a wonderful week.❤️

Puppy 🐶 is growing up soo fast ❤she is so curious 😊to walk around you while unpacking it’s the cutest ever. Ps I love your outfit today

With pedisure you can make smoothies, milkshakes, and it mixes well with ice cream. I took care of a little boy about 7 years old and he was like your son, Bohdi, very picky about any different kinds of food. I would make him a milkshake with pedisure and tell him it was my favorite, he loved it after that and all ways wanted to make them. Try it , it might help.

I still have no idea how you do it. Totally beyond me. You are such an awesome person doing all of this and knowing the kids interests and likes/dislikes. Making good food choices and amazing meals. The kids are so lucky with you guys 😍😊

Hi Alicia. Just a tip re:: pediasure. Sometimes grocery stores and stores like CVS or Walgreens have their own store brand of pediasure. It may be less expensive. Love your grocery hauls. 😊

Mrs Dougherty you are correct.Cashiers and or sackers are indeed trained to never bag any kind of household cleaners,detergents,roach spray,or fertilizer with any kind of food,be it canned,boxesy,frozen,etc.Not even make-up,finger nail polish,or finger nail polish remover.Or chemicals that you use for your vehicle.

Alex is so sweet and always offers to help you!!

Love Love Love Bubba’s sweater!!!!!❤️

Cute outfit today! How did the new purse work out? Every time I change one I feel like totally disoriented lol! Love your videos 🌈🌈👱‍♀️🧡🧡

How beautiful, you look amazing❤ !!! If I lived one of your basic days for a week, I would look like a zombie! You had all of those birthdays, jumped time zones, too, NY to LA, the jet lag alone, ugh andddd playing catch up, I mean holy smokes, you are a super hero! Also...Thank you for helping the other families, how scary for them😢

I like the arm and hammer no vacuum carpet foam spray for pets instead of the powder, it has a really good smell. It is hard to find i usually have to order it. Carpet fresh isn't bad either.

I am 38 and my nickname for my brother is kid and my dads nickname is shorty. It doesn’t matter how old you are nicknames are with you for life.

I love your outfit! and your generosity for people in need

the packad meat that leaked was not vacuum sealed, The chicken you buy at wegmans seems vacuum sealed they dont leak as often. But if the store just plasted it with ordinary plastic wrap they can leak. :) I have the same tic as you about placing cleaning product or laundry things with food. No can do :D haha

The fact you not only take care of your adopted kids but also their families whenever you can is so amazing. Do I think you over spoil yes sometimes lol, but for anyone to hate on you is insane! More people should be like you honestly 🙌🏻👏🏻

Love shopping with you as always❤❤❤

My baby just turned 14 and he will Always be my baby ❤

I agree! Food stuff should not touch non-food stuff!!😂

You are very kind hearted with lots of ENERGY ❤

Your energy is amazing!!! Don't forget to take time for yourself!!!

Don't worry you are not alone with being weird about having food next to the cleaning products in the cart or shopping bags. I have to keep it separate because in my mind the one time I forget it the cleaning products will spill or another bottle from the shelf has already spilled on it and all the food is no longer edible...

Love your shirt, Fall sprit,,,love all your videos plus shopping videos are so awesome,, SUPER Mom,,have a Wonderful day 😊I making pumpkin loaf as I watch your blog 😊

Oh that's was so nice of you. I'm like that aswell. I have a best friend who is a single mum over 20 years and I have always said if you need anything just tell I can always replace it.

I love onion bagels with butter and I use to love making my own breakfast sandwiches with them

Im loving your shirt its cute 🥰.bubbas jumper is soo adorable .love shopping videos 😊xxx

Mrs Dougherty that was extremely kind and genuine of you to help those five families. Mrs.Dougherty on both of my jobs we have a pantry that we accept donations from.The owners on both of my jobs have a pantries that help the community.We also give and donate to the church pantries as well.

In sweden we have frozen fresh dill that is already cut in small packages. That is fantastic to have in the freezer as a backup. We can get every hearb frozen. And that is much better taste than the dried ones.

My son with Autism and ARFID gets Orgain Kids protein drinks through insurance. Ask the GI dietitian for samples of the different flavors and options before you commit to a full month supply.

You just outed the kids’ families private information - maybe they don’t want the world to know they get food stamps….🤦🏻‍♀️

Yes! We still refer to my 6 year old as "the baby" 😊

Heads up! Costco has big packs of Pediasure! My daughter isn't Autistic, but she is super skinny/not getting enough calories in. Doctor wanted us to supplement with Pediasure, but even that wasn't enough. Now she's on an appetite booster. :(

What time did you go to the grocery store? It was dark out but then when you came out there was light. Im so confused 😅. I love you guyssss ❤ Have a great week!

Love the haul

You have such a big heart, helping their biological families, God bless you ❤

Summer is over. Buy seasonal produce! I live right outside Rochester, I've been getting apples, pears, citrus, grapes are almost over but still finding good ones.

😍 finally thank you 🙏🏼 ❤

Seems like she takes care of the dog more then he does . Or am I wrong . She got nice outfit on in this video

Love your family💜🥰

Cilantro is awesome herb it detox the body and yes its fantastic for clearing up your face . I couldn't find fresh dill neither i had to buy the dry .

Truly bless your heart for being such a loving light to others and sharing your food, paying it forward. ❤

You look faboulous today :D your hair really suits you well when it is curly.

i personally prefer buying bulk goods online. paper products, can foods, pastars... sometimes they offer really good deal online.

We have a refrigerator in the garage for drinks only. It is called an apartment fridge

I can only use baking soda on my carpet. The carpet powder makes feet sooo itchy. Love your shopping vids 😊

I love your buffalo plaid shirt and Bubba's shirt is adorable. I've missed your posts, and was worried. I had forgotten that you went to L.A. i'm glad you had fun. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming, I hope! Love you guys!

You are right about separating cleaning products from edibles. If the products leak or spill, your food is definitely spoiled.

Hey beautiful, get you an outdoor cart to unload everything. Love. Love. Love the outfit!! God bless!!

Yes you absolutely can call your 5 and 7 year olds the babies. I am 66 and my mom still calls me the baby!

awesome grocery shopping haul, cant wait for the costco haul, and more videos, have a great week! 💞💞

Love these grocery hauls the long ones. Love your pantry I have trouble organising one cupboard of tins sauces etc lol! X

Ok if you have broken out skin, cilantro likely won’t help. A serum with salicylic acid will 😀

I also do not pack cleaning etc chemical stuff in the same bag with food products. You are not alone in that habbit :)

Good afternoon great groceries haul shopping video ❤️

your hair looks softer curled

I love watching your you go to the to the grocery

Great haul had pb and jelly today strawberry is better with PB for PB and jelly sandwiches I keep grape jelly too but strawberry is the best.

Love these videos

I do the same thing with my kids body wash. Bubble bath & body wash. Why buy actual bubble bath & their soap when i can just stock up on their body washes & use it for both lol.

alishah i like your hair like that so pretty god bless you all ty for sharing

How do your kids feel about brussel sprouts mine loved them when I would bake them with bacon and onions

You might try a dishwasher. I didn't know how much easier it was until I got one.

The produce here in Florida is not good and sweet also. If I run across a good deal on fresh I cut it up and freeze it . Sugar it down the day before I eat it . If it gets two sweet I add water . Or I can it myself .

I love all the videos you poast keep them comming

Honestly, I'm not so sure what is going on with the food stamps in our area, either... A year or two ago I saw a pregnant young woman get stopped by our AP staff at my work (Walmart) because she was shoplifting. She was crying because some of the stuff she really needed and she couldn't afford it. I was talking to another associate about it and we both felt so bad for her that it got so bad that she felt the need to attempt stealing. Unfortunately I can't recall the resolution but I am most certainly hoping that things worked out and she is in a better situation ❤

I agree no food products with cleaning product. My hand soap got all over my clementines today. I guess it could have been worse. God bless.

Why do you use paper plates? I’m in the uk and we use normal plates and wash them up and don’t go to landfill

I love the curls Alicia!

I wish, just once, I had the money to go shopping like this. Go Chief’s!!!❤

going a shopping trip with you would be really fun

the biscuits that are in separate packaging the kids leave the empty boxes is it worth getting a storage container so then you know what you got its not only a kid thing lol my brother 60 😊

Alicia, next week’s menu starts with “what can we use up out of the freezer?” Ok? 😉

They have cream of chicken at Costco too!

Pizza for lunches - COSTCO has a 12 pack half cheese half pepperoni in their freezer section for like $12 and they are a perfect kids size!

U look really pretty today. Hope you have a wonderful week.

Wow you can see how quickly the days got shorter!

I love Sunny D...the strawberry one too

I'm the exact same way Alicia. Cleaning products can't be next to food, and definitely not bagged with food.🧡🧡🧡

my son a sports photographer from Hull uk he just has his third and second double spread in the non league sports paper ❤

I looked all over for fresh dill (Northern Illinois) this past week because I was making cucumber sandwiches for a ladies tea. NONE.

Too let you know that Costco has a great deal on mandarin oranges and there individual containers so no waste

Happy birthday. Long may it continue 🎉

Hi Alicia 😊 I live in Minnesota and our produce has been terrible for a couple of months. The bananas are AWFUL! And fresh veggies always seem to be on the verge of rotten. Great haul 😊❤

Another awesome shopping trip

Hi, I used to get bad potatoes then someone told me to smell the bag before I buy them. You will be able to tell if there is bad ones.

Why did she have to announce to the world that the children’s bio family didn’t receive food stamps ?? She could of just said she read or heard on the news some families didn’t receive them . She is constantly oversharing medical dx’s , mental illness , children’s insecurities and now bio families financial hardships . What if these families confined in her and now she is broadcasting this .

That's nice of you to share with those families in need. If everyone stops judging everyone and help out in a time of need I think the world would be so much better especially if you are doing it with love and understanding and not looking down on people. Stay blessed and sharing these amazing grocery hauls.
