FAMILY OF 13 PANTRY RESTOCK 

Have you ever considered getting a big Brita pitcher or investing in a water cooler? Would be less waste and so much easier on you when shopping.

Je vous regarde de France. Je vois une maman qui fait tout pour que ses enfants soient heureux et qu'ils n'angoissent plus 💗 Je continuerai à vous suivre , dieu vous bénisse.

So,,we're retired foster parents and parents of 8 kids..my foster agency requires us to have up to 3months worth of food in case of emergency..just in case anyone wants to know

We adopted 3 kids from fostercare and have 3 bio kids. My twins came to us at 14 months old severely malnourished. The pandemic hit on their second birthday. We went out of town to celebrate their bday and the world shut down and we were stuck in a hotel with 2 2 year olds for the weekend. During the pandemic we struggled just like you said to find enough groceries to feed our large family. The twins had been prescribed pedicure to help them gain weight and it was on their WIC vouchers. Finding the amount they were prescribed was literally impossible. Finding milk was a nightmare. As you spoke about your kids with food insecurities and the difficulty of finding groceries during the pandemic I had tears streaming down my face. I lived that nightmare too. My babies were only 2 but they were triggered and I had to ensure them everyday that we would make sure they had plenty of food. It was horrible and like you, I promised myself I would never go through that again. We stock up too. I get it and I see you momma. Hugs.

So nice he is helping you! What a good guy!❤

Great job on your pantry. I gotten teased for years about my “grocery store”. During my first marriage there were times when I didn’t know where our next meal was coming from. Had it not been for my parents, grandmother and sister there would have been times we wouldn’t have had food. One day my babies were fighting over who got the last fish stick and I swore never again. Ever since I have always made sure to be stocked up. Even though I don’t have that worry now, my anxiety gets bad if I feel my stock is getting low. We now have children, grandchildren and even a great grandchild on the way. Nana always has a stock ready!

Happy birthday zoey 🎉 Greay vlog alicia keep being you ignore the haters, your family not theirs

Is your garage insulated? I’m wondering how the weather changes affect the items on shelves.

Thank You for sharing your restocking with us. I love watching your videos. 💕💕

Awesome job helping Mom !!❤

restock when it looks full already?

You need something safer to stand on when restocking the garage pantry especially when no one is home in case something happens. ❤

Oh goodness, another comment section full of people who have never had food insecurities or known anyone with it. Thankfully Alicia knows to just keep scrolling.

We have been stocking up on soup too. Cause if all fails grilled cheese & soup is a favorite.

Wishing Zoey a fabulous 12th birthday xx

Yep, the pandemic is what made me create a food pantry as well. Even today, where i live in Western Australia, there is sometimes events that reduce the amount of items in the supermarkets resulting in limits on the number of items we can buy. So its always good to have a full pantry for such events. And anything I don't use that gets close to the expiration date, I give to my sister for her family.

Happy Birthday TODAY, Zoey. Love your vibe.

This remind me the show on TLC it called extreme coupons how couple get a lot of groceries..

Just like you enjoy organizing what you need for the next day’s lunches into baskets, you might enjoy having 5-7 baskets for that week’s dinners. That way you can shop from your pantry first (use up older inventory) and then supplement with remaining ingredients from grocery store.

Your pantry need dividers and bins and labels, that would help you stay organized even when the kids put the food away

Alicia, I don't know if you know this or not, but you can freeze bread and it thaws out perfectly....not soggy at all because there's no moisture in bread. It only take an hour or so to thaw out. Also, I buy Sara Lee bread and I've had it sometimes 3 or 4 weeks on the counter and it doesn't mold. It gets a little dry but it doesn't mold. Bread would not need that in your house because you go through bread pretty quickly. Just letting you know. I saw a video of you yesterday making Tater Tot Casserole. I'm so glad you arranged the Tater Tots in an orderly fashion on top of the casserole. I've seen people just pour them on and that gives me anxiety. LOL I always arrange mine in an orderly fashion. I count them too. LOL

Hi Alicia! I was wanting to tell you that you might think about getting a tote with a lid to keep all your lunch chips in? That is what we do and it is so much better to not have to mess with those annoying boxes. A tote holds a lot of those little lunch bags and would give you more space in your garage pantry. Just an idea. 😊

There is so much stuff she can’t even find space to put the stuff she just bought. Which probably means she need to make what she has for the next 2 months before buying anything else

Dayshawn just did what should have been done during the unloading process. No reason for that to be handled multiple times.

Happy Birthday Zoey!!!🌼🧡🌼 Great video as always!!!🌼🧡🌼 Happy Wednesday BEAUTIFUL!!!🌼🧡🌼🧡🌼🧡🌼🧡🌼🧡🌼🧡🌼

You’re looking so good with the new do + today’s outfit!

You have so much. I bet it's a pain to go over expiration dates

if i were u i would do a pantry clean out and only eat what u have for a month challange

Happy birthday zoey 🥳🎉🎁🎈nice restock😊❤

Great job Dayshawn!🎉

Happy birthday Zoey 🎈🎉 enjoy your special day sweetheart ❤

You don't need to go to the supermarket every week because you got plenty of food to last you for a long time

your hair is always lovely and yes I fold my bags as well xx

I recently tried the naan bread totally love it

To minimise so many boxes you could convert to container storage and label them 👌

Looks like you have a good helper!😊

Youve got boxes and boxes of crisps but I bet the next time you go shopping you’ll buy more !!!

Happy Birthday, Zoey! we share the same Birthday 🎉🎉🎉

Love the pantry restock videos!! My fav.

If you don't mind us making a sugestion... I see you buying a lot of cans, why you don't buy thouse things that you put the cans and they just roll down every time you get one? Have you ever tried one time and didn't like it? I'm just asking because a love thouse pantry restocking videos and was like... "Omg... That thing makes you save so much space...🤔🤔"

its always good to have a full Pantry, I have to Restock Pantry With Canned Goods:) Happy Birthday Zoey💗

I think you need to slow down on restock.Don’t be afraid of food being gone.All is fine❤️

Why do people have to leave such hateful comments? If you don’t like this family or their content don’t watch it’s that simple. And also don’t worry about how much money she spends on groceries and things they need it’s not your money is it? Nope

all you people whining about all the food obviously never heard of prepping. We keep 3 to 6 months worthnof food in stock at all times. As we rotate thru we buy replacements.

Your sons are such good helpers!

These restock videos are hands down my favourite. Inspirational 👏

The organization system y'all came up with and have been sustaining is just *chef's kiss* 🧡💙

So nice of him to help you with the heavy lifting

I mean I would have thought that common sense would prevail here. A stock take once a month would be a good idea. It would take time but completely empty all ththe shelves and organise them properly. Then you will be able to see what you have and what you need it anything each week. Either that or you're quite happy to let things expire and toss them like it doesn't matter. The current scenario you have is ridiculous!

Alicia, you need to make like a bulk list … things you can buy at Costco/Sams Nutella, Nutella-to-go, Dawn Powerwash, batteries, tomato products, snack bags chips, waters, toilet paper, paper towels, gatorades, Waterloo, bulk size cleaners (Dawn reg detergent, Cascade, Lysol, Clorox Wipes, etc), trash bags, etc

Love that papa! That would have worried me about the kids too. Food stress is real!

Do a inventory list before you do a shopping list

Hello Alisha and beautiful family! I was wondering do you ever Taco Tuesday’s? Would love to see the family night with taco’s!!

You don't need more of anything eat what you have.

You should probably get the bread shelf put back up I’m sure Josh could do that for you.

Love your pantry restock.Thanks for sharing❤😊

Loved the vid!I'm just wondering can you do an day in an life since all of your kids are home?❤❤

The chips for the month 😂 that a lie. We all know you’ll be doing another shopping haul mid week and always get chips.

They have frozen bisquits in the frozen section. There is a big bag all different kinds. Orange marmalade on them are super good. Just an idea for breakfast. We bake the bisquits in the oven and put scrambled eggs and sausage or bacon and orange marmalade. It's kind of like a sweet McGriddle.

There's only 6 of us here in our house and I keep back-up supplies of the non-perishable foods; obviously not as large as yours, but still. I have 7 kids (only 2 who live with me still), and I'm so used to cooking for a large family. Even now, I make certain things and send them over to some of the other kids homes .. and I also make enough food to have at least another whole meal of leftovers for ourselves. It's going to be hard for me to cook just for my husband and myself when we become empty-nesters by the end of the year. The good thing to do with back-up stock is to continuously go through them for expiration dates, and also to put the new items you just purchased in the back and bring the older items forward to the front.

I did a super large haul and OMG! I do not know how you do this. Oh man, walking from 1 side to the other and than back again. I have to say, you are a Super Mom! I loved saying Cart 1 and than 2 and than 3.

Happy birthday ZOEY ♡♡♡♡

Some of these comments are SO negative and judgmental! “You had tomato soup in your pantry no need to restock it” you realize she uses probably 4-6 cans at a time for ONE meal! So that means she is restocking to have on hand! She has explained this on numerous occasions why she restocks and keeps things on hand! You all really need to focus on how you run your home and let her run hers! Yes she does content but you aren’t there 100 percent of the time They feed a lot more family and friends too & she donates and helps others out! ❤ please be kind! You all give off such bad energy it’s ridiculous

Do you have your worry about mice or other critters getting into the food in your garage?

Happy birthday zoey love love all you vids

Letting them know they will never have to worry about food is such a beautiful, heartfelt thing!

This is not realistic. You have more mushroom soup than a the grocery store. This is no longer real-it’s you telling people you spend two thousand dollars on bullcrap. It’s so fake

You're doing awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Have you ever considered doing a pantry challenge, like eat what you have for the month and then do like a major restock after that? Get some of the older things gone thrive so you don't have to throw away so much while your restocking the pantry shelves?

Thank you for doing this. Videos like this help me get ideas on keeping organized. So thank you.

my virgo energy wants to go in aND organize with her lol

Hi Alicia. Great video on organizing your pantry! Tyfs. Happy Birthday Zoey 🎂

This was lovely to watch! ❤

❤❤❤❤ love the long ones😊

Why do you go shopping every week when you already have your own supermarket !!!

Isn't it a great feeling when you get your pantry fully stocked and organized? I need to do a reorganization of mine here soon. 😥

Yayyyyy! I’ve been waiting for this!

I think u do an awesome job of getting each kid there own snacks and there favorite foods😊

if You have stuff that Your family wont eat You could donate them to a local food pantry

I can understand having extra food, but the thing I don't understand is why a whole grocery store. I also ask myself how the heck does a 5 year old know what a Vlog is. She asked " are you going to Vlog that" she is only 5 and that tells me that they Vlog 24/7.

Suggestion: put the bacon bits with salad dressing or croutons

Please note that bread can be freeze and it will last up to 3 months or more in the freezer... I learned that during the pandemic, I purchased when on sale and use by oldest date first... Make rules so that the kiddos don't open every box before using what is open first... You have this mamita

Great Vlog 😊 .......Kind regards from Germany . Tip: When you make a weekly plan, please look in the pantry beforehand and shop accordingly.

you bought tomato soup when you had enough already. Isn’t time with family more important.

RESTOCK ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TY 🧡🧡👍✌️

Hi Alicia I have an idea 4 all the kids chips & snacks 2 get a couple of big bins with lids on so you then can decant them from the boxes into the bins & get rid of the boxes in 1 go then you sud have space in the garage food stock area.

Orange marmalade for slow cooker meatballs

Love watching your videos.

I also love to have a large family buy groceries and have a great kitchen

👱‍♀️🫶💖 Love your pantry! My grandmother who had lived through the depression also had a fully stocked pantry for her family of two. My brother and I would stay over in the summertime and my parents would come on the weekend for dinner. I asked her once why she had so much food and she told me about the depression and she said to always have enough food for several weeks just in case so I have always kept a big pantry when I had a family of four and now that I have a family of two. It’s very smart! Love your videos 🧡💙🧡💙

Happy Brthday Zoey Today🎉🎉🎉 Big 12 years old

Can't wait to see the new vlog and hope you guys have a great Wednesday afternoon and evening with the kids and can't wait to see the pantry restock for your family of 13.

I want to wish Zoe a very happy happy happy happy happy happy birthday hope all her wishes come true God bless ❤️

Great video Alicia 👋🙂❤️ Happy Birthday 🎂 Zoey ❤️🥳🎈

I think I threw my back out, just watching all of those packages of water/Gatorade being put away! 😅😂

I was adopted at 3 weeks old so I didn't have food insecurity but each time you tell that story, I tear up. You guys are such amazing parents, and since watching you I stalk up too now. Getting low on food makes me super anxious and I am like you, I believe the pandemic had a play in that as well. Though I live alone so I really feel for you guys. I love your panty, and I want to redo mine. Don't ever let anyone tell you how you parent is wrong, because I just adore you and Josh and your family. :) Smiles from Nova Scotia.

If you are on RU-vid with your family you should be prepared to have negative comments as well. I admire you taking care of so many kids needing a home. I do think that a diet of so much junk/sugar loaded food is not healthy. We don’t know the background of some of the foster/adopted kids, but a bit more of taking care of their own belongings only helps them in the future. You are not their maid! Personal fridges with snacks is ridiculous, but maybe there is a well thought reason for this. I wish this family well🌷🌷🌷.

Happy happy birthday Zoey 🤎🤎🤎 hope you get everything you wanted

The lady I am speaking about isn't from RU-vid , she lives in our Region. The biggest grocery haul, I have ever saw was $10,000 worth of Food. The lady even bought a Cows at the Market , which is cheaper by the pound. She had over 8 Freezer , several refrigerators and a huge room to store the regular food. She's very Organized. Weekly and Yearly haul by the thousands of dollars.

Deshawn did wonderful job
