FAMILY OF 14 GROCERY HAUL 

I am in foster care right now … and soon to be adopted .. I have been in foster care since I was 13 I am 15 now … your positive reminders and just everything you say helps me a lot … it’s feels so good to see that there are other kids in this world going threw what I am … it makes me happy seeing a big happy family like yours ❤️thank you

Seeing you think about and remember what each of your kids like really lifts my mood. Its so lovely to see how much you care about these kids!

Please never stop doing these grocey hauls 🦋 As a European it's so interesting to see what kind of things your stores carry😍 I am addicted..

I will never complain of grocery shopping again. Wow, you are so organized! I also love your idea of making an “around the world” dinner every week. Such a great way to introduce new foods….I’m going to try that with my family. Have a good week!

I love grocery hauls but this is my favorite. Growing up I wasn’t allowed snacks and little effort was given when it came to knowing what I would eat. I am legally blind and have texture issues. My mom is amazing but was not prepared for a blind child. Sadly, there are people who just don’t care at all if a child eats. These kids are always considered and well taken care of. I have always wanted to be a foster parent and when I am, this is the level of love and care that I will aspire for.

I have agoraphobia and super nervous about going grocery shopping (it's been 5 years) but I'm now 22 and decided it's time for me to get over my fears. These videos help me so much, thank you. Love the calmness ❤️

Who else watched a video of the Dougherty dozen and just watches them everyday now

I love that you get the kids what they like, and don't force them to eat food they don't like. It makes me so happy that you include the other kids favorite foods!!!❤🙂😊

You are such a beautiful person, as someone who works with kids in the care system I understand how these kind of kids need love, safety and people who care. You make such a difference. On behalf of someone in the field you are so appreciated and I hope your life is blessed❤️❤️❤️

My family could have cared less about my likes and dislikes for mealtimes. I had a weight problem so during high school l was sent off without breakfast and lunch to compensate. Luckily a parent saw l was not eating lunch so she arranged for a free school lunch for me. I was lucky. It is nice to see someone care. What a good example!!

There's something really therapeutic about watching you shop lol your channel is one of the very very few ones with videos this long that I routinely watch, they're always so soothing, especially on the days when my anxiety/depression are particularly bad 🧡

My grocery budget is $25/week right now so watching these makes me very happy and motivated to get to a place that I could walk in and get what I need without second guessing everything!

I love how you know exactly what each kid loves! It would be so easy to forget or confuse the differences. You are an amazing mom!! Obsessed with your shopping vlogs!

It's crazy. I almost live off what you pay for groceries in a trip to the grocery store. You food bills are mind blowing 🤯. God bless what you do for your family.

Though tuna is very nutritious, it’s also high in mercury compared to most other fish. Therefore, it should be eaten in moderation - not every day. You can eat skipjack and light canned tuna alongside other low-mercury fish a few times each week, but should limit or avoid albacore, yellowfin and bigeye tuna

This mama is a boss !!! Shopping alone without 12 kids is a vacation in itself lol

Idk why it's so addictive watching your videos but they are! So awesome to see how loving and caring you are for all your children❤

Hi Alicia! Love your grocery haul as always. Wonderful you can get the children their favorite foods, snacks,and drinks. You sure do deserve your caramel iced coffees all the hard work you do. Have a wonderful week with Josh and your children.

You should find out if your grocery store has a case sale. Then you can stock up on some of the things you always get and save a little money.

Sunblock coffee is the most mom drink I've ever heard of. 😅 Happy Monday, Dougherty Fam!

If you cut some of your paper bags into strips(as long as the bags aren't coated or lined with anything) and give them a good dip in some natural apple cider vinegar, until they are coated, then put the strips on the affected area of poison ivy or poison oak, it will help draw out and dry the oils and help them heal faster and stop spreading🥰

I get it that sometimes convenience is more important than cost. Those little ranch cups are expensive imo! I buy the little 2oz Dixie cups with lids from Amazon or target and the big ranch at Costco. Super cost effective and still disposable. Love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.

You have inspired me! I get up at 5:00am now to prep food for the day. Such a time saver on busy evenings and we are only a family of 4 (for now). We are in the process of getting our fostering license.

You know you're a real fan when you can pinpoint items on your list before you say anything, lol. And I'm over here wondering where the olives are for Nana! Lol.

U GUYS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS WOMAN SHE KNOWS FOOD IS COMFORT FOR THE SOUL ANYBODY TELL ME DIFFERENT YOU KNOW I AM RIGHT AS RAIN

Its refreshing to see a family eat realistically and not always eat insanely healthy. Thank you for the wholesome content.

I love your grocery hauls! Something about how organised you are makes me super calm and happy!! 🙂

Ooh a 5 Carter! I think it's awesome y'all do "around the world" meals!! But I must say I know I couldn't handle sardines or octopus 😆

Try a smore bake. Chocolate on the bottom of a baking pan. Marshmallows on top. Bake in oven until Chocolate melted and Marshmallows toasted. Scoop out with Graham crackers.

Wow you’re such a good mom! I hope ur kids appreciate you , keep doing these hauls their so entertaining! 💗💗🙏🏽

Every morning the "But first...coffee!" should be my motto because most of the time I can be spotted in the Dunkin drive-thru getting my daily iced coffee on the way to work~

I meant to say to you that I love that you're Christian and you go to church on Sunday what an inspiration you are to a lot of people

THANK YOU FOR POSTING! Love your videos and always look forward to them!

Your shopping trips are the best, I love how you get everyone’s favourite, I’m not into forcing kids to eat what they don’t like I wouldn’t, it’s all about pleasing everyone 🌸🤍🌸🤍

Hey Dougherty dozen , the clerk must be so tired after registering all of those groceries, haha 😂 love your channel!

You rock girl. How do you do all that you do. I know one thing your love for these babies show loud and clear and all of them seem to love you right back .how in the world can you afford everything you buy at the grocery stores and all the extras u buy for these kids .just curious because you spend sooooooo much money and time . Girl you will be rewarded one day when you enter Gods kingdom for what you are doing for these kids .you warm my heart thru every video I watch .I watched your laundry food video I held my breath you had so much to do .I dont know how in this world u do it all .blessings to your happy beautiful family. I used to be a foster mom in my younger days and I could not believe what these children had gone thru I had .God love you and bless you all.

You are an amazing mother I wish I could give you a hug I admire how wonderful you take care of your kids and try to meet the needs of each and everyone as well as your hubby. You need to do a video where you have a pamper day you deserve it hon.

Also, some people might find this rude but I don’t mean to be rude, how do you financially handle 12/10 kids

22:25 What?! OMG! Now I'm excited for around the world monday with food from Portugal. I'm from Purtugal and that makes me very happy 🥰💖

I became so excited when I heard you were doing Portugal food for around the world monday 😍 because I am Portuguese, never thought you would do Portugal ahah! Much love from here ❤️

I'm sure this has been asked before, so forgive me, but have you asked Wegman's if they will sell you cases of items for easier loading/unloading - possible cost savings too? I love watching your shopping videos. They're so cathartic!

Thank you for putting up your haul, it makes me happy shopping with you on here....lol Don't listen to the haters, I feel sorry for them !!! Because YOU are enough, you are loved and you're doing exactly what you're meant to be doing !!! Love you girl !!!

Whew😅 I need a nap!! You my dear, are simply amazing!! God bless you and your family!🙏🏻🥰

Considering the amount of processed foods she buys why does not she have any coupons? Thought that was a big thing in America.

Sunblock coffee means momma can have a Dunkin’s coffee when she’s done shopping!!

Shredded cabbage , julienne carrots , red peppers, seedless cucumber , zest of limes(2) , juice of limes , rice wine vinegar , honey tbsp to taste , Chiffanade of mint & cilantro. Salt & pepper to taste. Chill at least 1 hr. Enjoy.

My nana passed away at 63 who also was a foster mom for many years. This gives me so much comfort watching you and your family. 💜

You should maybe try a chest camera harness for when you shop so you have two hands free. That may help make it a bit faster and easier for you.

So glad you saved the frozen stuff for last. I always think “hurry, the ice cream is melting!” 😂 Thank you for doing these videos. I think everyone finds them fun and relaxing. 👍

God, I have such a hard time trying to take care of myself, I have no idea how the amazing lady, mother, wonder woman doea it all. ❤️

I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, we are finding it impossible to replace it. We can get by, but cant seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

I’d like to know what josh does for a living, it’s really wonderful to see how y’all are so willing to give everything you have to these children , it’s a light of hope and goodness we need to see

Oh gosh that made me laugh, sunblock tasting coffee! My kids and I love watching the grocery vlogs, we so want to do a US grocery shop one day, were in the UK :)

However much I enjoy watching people buy groceries nobody needs to eat that much canned and procesed food. Too much salt and preservatives are used to keep these kinds of foods for a loooong time. Just think about it, these chemicals are meant to prevent food to break down in smaller molecules. That is exactly what our digestive system does. I'm no doctor or nutritionist but if the food you eat is less than 50% fresh, not canned or processed, I don't know if you can call that good nutrition. In a couple of videos I've heard her complain of lack of sleep and one of the children with inexplicable energy dips. I hate to pontificate but you are built out of what you eat. Not just our bodies but our minds and souls as well. If you are anxious and waking up at night startled and in the middle of the day you don't have the energy to do nothing.... Maybe just maybe change what you eat. It is amazing how our bodies respond to clean food and less junk. Hard to change the things that you are comfortable with specially with a family that big but a simple change can have a big impact. Instead of three carts of canned goods one maybe? More bags of green leafs? Soda or chips not both? 🤷‍♀️

I am the only one that is scared of octopus

I love how you get them all the cereal they like instead of getting one type for them all to share

An excellent way to save space and keep broth of hand, plus MUCH tastier is a product called *Better Than Bouillon* It should be available near the seasonings or broths where you’d find those little dried cubes - it’s a broth concentrate and you can choose chicken, beef or vegetable. Put in your fridge and good to go! 👍🏻

No idea why but watching your grocery hauls makes me happy. Looking forward to the food storage video ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊😁🛒🇨🇦

My brother came in while watching this and asked "why would you watch someone else buy their groceries?" but then he stayed the whole vlog because he found it as relaxing as I do xD

I am Portuguese and can tell you that one can of sardines is usually the portion for one person. Not much in those cans. To accompany the sardines, grill peppers on bbq and take out the skin and add olive oil and boil potatoes to accompany the sardines.

I love your shopping!!! Lol I’m a chef and it just makes me think of inventory day every time but on another level lol I love it! Keep being great ❤️

How do you keep your ice cream from melting with so many carts to check out and load up? Just wondering. I live in florida.i go for 10 items and mine is soft by the time I get home

Hi hi just wanted to say your eyes are super beautiful and I think it's wonderful what you're doing for these kids!

Why don't you safe your cold things for the last cart?

and I'm already overwhelmed when I go grocery shopping for myself 🙈😄

I bet your recycling bin STAYS full with all of those food cans, jars, water bottles & sparkling water cans haha

I love watching your videos. The message you send is so positive and extremely heart warming!!!!

⚠️⚠️Question!! ⚠️⚠️ When leaving full carts up front, do you let the staff know why you’re leaving them there? Have you ever had anyone try and move or put your cart/items away? Or do they know you by now and your huge hauls you regularly do? I just wonder where you find room to stash them, what time of day you find is best to shop and do you always do it alone? I hope you see this, I’ve been wondering this for awhile now! I have Ehlers-Danlos and live in a lot of chronic pain and perpetual exhaustion so your energy and what you do daily makes you a hero in my eyes. When we went to Portugal, we regularly dined late at night (we did the Mediterranean style of dining they do in Spain and Italy where you eat at 9 or 10pm) and were staying in the Algarve, right on the coast, so we had a lot of lovely fresh seafood! So I’m curious to see what you make for your Portuguese meal! ❤️❤️❤️

I love your grocery hauls! So fun to watch and gives me more ideas for things to try.

When ever you go to get any kind of milk, always get it from the back. The freshest milk is always put in the back of the milk rack

How are you able to financially provide for your family of 14? I just started watching in the last month. God bless you for taking great care of all these children.

I'm disabled and can't grocery shop anymore. 💐🥰 I place an order for someone to pick up at Walmart for me. 💐 So I LOVE 🥰 the Dougherty dozen shopping trips. It lets me see what I can't see anymore. 💜💚💙

As always, a great haul and reminds me what I forgot on my list!

I came across your channel this past week and have been excited to see another large family! I’m intrigued to learn how you manage your day to day tasks and how you get everyone to be involved in keeping the house as a community and having the responsibility to help out. You do have older children than we do, our oldest just turned 10, but we are constantly looking to improve our methods! We have 7 children (so half of your family) but there have been many times I have felt like you st the grocery store with multiple carts! One question pertaining to this video, how did your family manage covid with the food restrictions from grocery stores? I had to shop more frequently than typical because of the restrictions when they were trying to keep less people in the stores…have an enjoyable day and thank you for sharing your family with all of us!

You make me feel like I can accomplish anything. You motivate me and your videos make my day. Love watching while I cook and eat breakfast, you are great company ❤️

Please make a video of how you handle all the looks and questions you may get when your shopping. We are a family of 6 sometimes I only have one buggy full. An I still get looks and comments. Its mentally draining and puts me down.

I love your vids Im ready for y’all to hit 1 million this year!! 🙏🏽💖

Another watermelon tip ! In case you get a bad one you can always make an agua fresca Just blend the watermelon Then add water and sugar to your liking ! It’s always a life saver whenever I get a bad one :)

I love your channel. Your a great inspiration for me and many people! I love y’all!

Have you ever thought of getting the check out staff to do your trolleys as you go and suspend the sale while you do another trolley load? You could just make sure that your frozen stuff is at the end

I wish we had Wegmans in Indiana!! You have alot of things to choose from and we'll stocked. Shelves here are still bare.

You shop with such ease. Shopping stresses me out. I love your around the world Mondays. I always just cook my kids the same things...but I love how they are introduced to new foods.

How can she play short order cook for every meal??? No disrespect but as an adult who ate very much like this as a kid..... it totally backfired when I became a young adult and I have suffered from health problems after health problems..... ever consider doing even a few food substitutes that are a little healthier? Just trying to be helpful and constructive 😉🥰💕

I love Ur videos I look forward to watching them. I often find myself just typing your name into the RU-vid search, to see if there's videos I haven't watched. And was AMAZED to see the internet thugs have started on you. I wish we lived in a world where nice is the way. It saddens me to see someone whose doing her absolute best be targeted like you have. Please don't let them stop you from doing this or being as awesome as you are. It takes special people not only to open they're house to disadvantaged children but you also gotta be selfless too. You literally amaze me I have 2 kids 1 on the spectrum and I thought my life was hard. Turns out I was a sook 🤷‍♀️🤣

I've been watching your videos for about a week now and I feel like your family I always like to see what you guys are up to

I really love you and your family. My day is not complete without watching your daily update. Just recently discovered your channel through instagram, I think a month ago, and ever since, I enjoyed watching your videos and reels. You are such an inspiring mother and person. Keep it up and godbless you.

LOVE ALSO HOW SHE GETS SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS FOR EVERYONE JUST WONDERFUL ☺️

Your kids are so lucky to have you...not all kids are well taken care of and fed like yours....adopted or not...keep being a great human

I was out shopping at Wal-Mart the other day and in the section of the store where they have the Goya brand products I totally thought of you because they had some fun unique soda flavors that seemed like they would be fun additions to try for your float challenges.

Tysm this is therapeutic, I really appreciate it 🤍

I wish I had the energy and zest that she has for life.🙏💕

You're amazing! Watching your weekly grocery shopping, tires me out.,and I just sit and watch.😱 I almost need a nap! You and Josh truly have been blessed with such a loving family.

I don’t know why but I need a time lapse of y’all bringing alllllll of those groceries in 😂

Wow! How in the world can you afford all of this. I'm literally speechless. So cool!! You're a beast, go you! 💫🎉

WHY NOT TRY FRESH PINEAPPLE FRESH MANDARIN ORANGES

Wow !!! Those beautiful kids are really lucky kids to have amazing parents!!!

I’d love to see an updated pantry tour!!

I have been sick in bed since Saturday, but your grocery hauls are so relaxing 😌. It's getting me ready when I got shopping I'm about out of everything and my son is going through a growth spurt and eats nonstop 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣😂😅 plus he's starting summer camp and needs snacks etc. It's just the two of us, but I feel like I'm feeding about 5 more of my son. You're awesome at getting what and remembering what every kid wants. I go in the grocery store, and forget half of what I needed, lol. Keep up the great work mama Dougherty 💕. (My son the other day sprayed sunscreen directly in my can of sparkling water it's a mom thing with kids 🤣😂😅)

I love ur grocery halls!! I love to see what y’all get and eat in a week! Love it!!😘☺️❤️ Wait, also do u use fetch rewards or a reward system to scan ur receipts?? If not do it! Bc u can get discounts off of ur regular groceries! Hopefully u have it! Love u! ❤️❤️

I definitely Love your channel you and your family are Beautiful. You are a true super Hero you and your husband..You can see how big your Heart is I want to say GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE YOU SHOW INSIDE AND OUT
