FAMILY OF 14 WEEKLY GROCERY SHOPPING 

I wish someone could explain to me the scientific reason of why I’m obsessed with these grocery hauls

The fact that Neveah asked her for something she had never bought and then she bought both kinds to make sure Neveah had the one she wanted says a lot. I keep coming back here and knowing what she does for her children whether biological, adopted, fostered, or kinship always makes me happy. I hope to be financially, emotionally, and mentally stable enough as her so I can foster and have a big family someday.

Grocery shopping for just 4 people gave me such anxiety that we now order online and have it delivered. You amaze me every damn time I watch you. You make everything look so easy. You’re so easy going and your level of patience is off the charts. I wish I could be like you. You are a ROCKSTAR! You were definitely meant to be a mother, and I thank you for sharing your life with us.

I cant imagine how hard it would be for you to go through this every week like our family is only a family of 4 and we can barely afford to buy groceries every Saturday so I have a huge respect for you and your family

As an aunt to a teenage girl I can tell you there’s no more sure sign that they feel comfortable than when they start making special requests for food. 😀

As sombody who is food insecure,I find it fun and relaxing to watch you food shop. The ability to put everything and whatever you need plus extra in the cart. No can't afford that. Or have to wait till next moth kind of thing. Hoping one day this can be me.

I'm going to chime in on the " I can't believe she buys all that unhealthy junk ".... She has explained why she does this in other videos. First of all, more power to her for cooking and feeding a family this large. I would have anxiety every single day because it's hard to please that many. Secondly, she has several special needs children who get fixed on certain foods and other children who have experienced hunger from the lack of food before they came to the Dougherty home. She is trying to take care of both emotional and physical needs of each child. As far as the White Claw...haha.. how many of you take a swig at the end of the day? Walk in her shoes people..walk in her shoes.. More power to her and prayers. We are all entitled to our opinions of course but is it so hard for us to express encouragement or are we so miserable in our own lives we have to bring others down? Finally, I want to be positive and challenge others to be the same.. it will change your whole outlook on life! ❤️ NO, I'm not rainbows and sunshine every day but I don't have to be thunder and lightning everytime my mouth opens ..😉

Navayeh asking for some dip tells me she’s happy, content and loved where she is and she knows that because she is advocating for herself 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 well done Nevayah (sorry I must stop butchering her name)

Slow cook the ribs in 30% cola, the rest water to just cover. Min 4-6 hours (adjust by how many as I only do small amounts, just until cooked). Then marinade in bbq, preferably over night. Then cook in hot oven, basting with additional bbq sauce as desired until as crisp as desired. Never fails me!

My son started watching your grocery store hauls, and said "can I move in with them?!" 😂🤣. He totally says your kids have good taste!! Keep up the great work. These videos are so relaxing to me, and helps me prepare for my weekly grocery haul. Love how you're always so positive and bubbly 🤗. I know it's been said before, but I love how you get what the kids ask for without questioning it etc.

Whenever I run out of energy or just get that “I don’t feel like it” feeling I’ll put on one of your videos and just do the task. If you can do all the things with 12 children to care for. I can do the few things I don’t feel like doing while having no children lol. Thank you for that!!

Even for my family of 4-a usual grocery hall used to cost $150-$175 tops, now it's easily $200 dollars. Most of it is usually meat, produce, some grains, and some junk food.

You should try making breakfast rolls by rolling up a cooked sausage link and cheese in a Pillsburry croissants and then bake. I feel like your kids would love that for breakfast! :)

I just finished watching one of your haul vids and I must say, you’re a loyal paying customer I hope Wegmans will sponsor you! Even if it’s just for one shopping trip 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Wegman’s absolutely needs to SPONSOR YOU!!!! Lol

Seriously, why am I so obsessed with watching your grocery hauls when I hate shopping for my own groceries so much??? 🤣 You make everything look fun!

This is just a curious question. I work in a retail grocery store and occasionally they have limits on items mostly due to reasons out the stores hands. Do they let you make an exception because you have so many kids? I know back in January we had a limit on 2 of the large jugs of milk so I was just curious 😊 And as a Canadian I love seeing all the cool American treats we can't get here 😊😊

You mention the price difference from last year. It's just me and my son and I darn near have a heart attack spending $300-$350 a month for what use to always be about $60 a week. I see your receipts and it's like 2 weeks of my pay for only 1 of your many grocery trips per month. I don't know how you shop so calmly. The price for chicken, beef and pork has been horrible. The price of fruits and veggies now a days is awful. It's cheaper to get a fast food burger and fry then it is to get a small salad. I love all that you and your husband do for your beautiful family. Thank you so much for sharing.

I LOVE seeing the family members’ personalities through food! Nevaeh, amazing requests!

You are so precious! Love how you listen to the kids what they want. I bet they feel so loved. 🥰 When i was in foster care we could not decide anything we wanted to eat or when we wanted to eat. We had 4 meal times (one being the school lunch in school) and we needed to eat that time or we got nothing. You couldn't even enter the kitchen only adults were allowed there, if you were hungry you just would have to wait the next meal time. If you were on isolation (so couldn't leave the room) they brough the food to your room where you would just sit on a mattress eating it on the floor since there were no furniture. Also we couldn't go outdoors without supervised and when we did get to go it was some sort of work usually. Like picking rocks larger than our thumb from gravel road. It was a horrible place to be. It wasn't prison even if it sounds like it, it was foster care family home. If i weren't adult already i wish i could have been your kid haha! 😄

I love how Neveah is advocating her needs and wants. it shows that she is comfortable and trusts you. ❤

You can tell the amount of love that goes into these grocery trips! ❤️ You remember what each child wants/needs/loves and it amazes me how you manage to keep it all straight! ❤️ You’re just amazing!!!!

Love seeing your weekly groceries. Love to see your videos and your family. Can't believe how far you have come with 12 kids especially when prices are skyrocketing.

Superwoman ! I don’t know how you do it, I dread going to the grocery store. I hate when I barely buy anything and it’s soo expensive. Love your meal plans from week to week ❤️

I don’t even have kids and I am addicted to your videos. There’s something about your spirit that puts me in a good mood to start my day!

Hey! My husband has perfected ribs with lots of tries. We use baby back or spare. First step is to remove membrane on the back. Next, we apply a rub on them. We like the Heath Riles honey or sweet bbq rub. You can get this online, or at a rural king if you have those near you. You can also make your own rub with brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, pepper. Let the ribs set with rub at least 15 min. Next you want to use charcoal and cook them on the grill. Make sure the coals are on one side of the grill and a decent sized pile because you’re going to be cooking a long period of time. On the side without coals is where you want to place your ribs so they cook slow. check ribs regularly, cook to internal temp of 190 degrees. This will take anywhere from 2-4 hours depending how hot your grill is. Then you are gonna add your favorite bbq sauce with a basting brush. (We also like the heath riles bbq sauce) Do not overdo the sauce and keep them on the grill when adding your sauce on. Next you’re gonna cover the grill again and let them get to 205. Take them off once they hit 200-205 internal temp. If you prefer to cook in the oven inside, follow the same steps, but cook on 300 degrees until they reach 190, then turn up the heat to 500 when you add your sauce. Check the temperature of the meat the same.

Hey! I really love your channel! I have 11 siblings, so it's fun to watch a very similar family! This is literally how it looks when we go shopping 😄

I absolutely LOVE your grocery hauls. I'm from South Africa and we don't get most of what you guys get!! A good example - I want to try Goldfish😁. May you all have a blessed week!!😍

A video of the teens trying the different sodas?! Really I just want to see Alex and Nevaeh try the flamin hot soda

I get anxiety shopping for just myself and my two daughters , I had to go to TWO different grocery stores today and by the time I got home I ordered doordash . Couldn’t cook . Props to you girl !!!

Watching from England, and had to laugh because I have literally never seen a chocolate chip scone in my life! They sound delicious though. Please share how your GB night turns out!

RIBS: The way my husband does it, and EVERYONE goes crazy for his baby back ribs: He boils them to make them tender, and it gets a lot of the fat off. In the water, he puts large chunks of onion (preferably Vidalia, or sweet onion) lots of black pepper, and garlic powder. After they are cooked through and tender, he places them on the grill to get crispy on the outside with the barbeque sauce. The sauce is Bullseye traditional. He cooks it on the stove with finely diced onion and some Tabasco to taste. Delicious! It's really easy too. P.S. I love you guys! xo

Wow! Its honestly so relaxing just watching this. I had car problems and college class decisions all day today and watching this video after a stressful day just.. it was the best. A great suggestion from me and my friends who have religiously watched your videos is: A video of you unloading and putting away all those groceries! I know it seems silly but its a great video idea for those of use who like to casually watch you deal with groceries...compounded by the fact that your voice is like ASMR when shopping! :) Always wish the best for your family!!

I honestly don't know why I love these grocery hauls. You and the channel "Our tribe of many" give me life with these. I love them so much.

You shop with such ease. Never looking at prices and just tossing things in the cart. I love watching these hauls 😊

I shop for 6 and I swear we spend 3x as much as we used to a yr ago. 1 ok of meat is $20+ that’s crazy!! Hamburger for a huge roll used to be only 22$ now it’s like 30$

Peach sprakling water is Life! My kids think they're soda 🙃🙃 the Clear American brand (Walmart) have a new orange kind out . It's delicious

I have so much respect for this family ,to take in children and special needs to . Not many can handle special needs children ,where their loved ,protected ,and know their worthy . May God keep blessing them and the children ! What a wonderful family . I love watching your videos !!!

A good tip for Tender Juicy Ribs is to boil the ribs for about an hour then cook them on the grill with BBQ Sauce to get that nice barbequed taste. Make sure to add alittle bbq sauce in the water to flavor the meat. *BEST RIBS YOU'LL EAT* I'm a Certified Chef and this is how we make BBQ RIBS where I work. *ENJOY*

I been watching your content for a while I just give you so much props you make sure your family is taken care of. You have such an amazing heart ❤️

As someone who's family is food insecure this is so satisfying to watch, hopefully I'll get a job soon and be able to shop like this

Am I the only one wondering how they afford to pay for all this food … especially in the current global economic climate … my partner and I struggle to feed ourselves and 3 animals let alone a family of 16. So incredible and inspiring!

I suggest cutting back on sodium for your husband. All those seasonings and mixes especially are very high in sodium. It’s hard, I know, but as someone who has high BP , reading the labels and learning to cook low sodium by subbing in herbs and spices has really helped. I wish you well. Your family is lovely.

For ribs we take off the skin layer, puts rub and brown sugar on it..put it in smoker right on the bars, smoke for 3 hours. After 3 hrs take it out and wrap in foil also put in a tin pan, put back in smoker for about another 3 hours.

I love your videos so much!! Not only are you an amazing mother, but you always make your fans feel loved too. Thank you for being an amazing role model for your fans who really need it. 💗💗

Hey Alicia 👋🏾 make sure to get yourself some White Claw because you certainly deserve 😂😂

I LOVE watching your grocery hauls. I made a list like yours. Having separate categories makes shopping alot easier. May you and your family always stay happy and blessed x Ameen 🤲💕💕

OMG!!! How can you afford to take care of 12 children 😱 In my country, it would ruin me! Especially at this time. He have high inflation and everything, food mainly, bycame wayyyyy more expensive. I have ONE children and I never ever saw such a HUGE shopping 😄 Its really fascinating . Be strong! 💪

I have no idea why but I have a thing where I LOVE big family grocery hauls!

Take the ribs with a paper towel and pull off the membrane. Season with Salt pepper garlic and add a bunch of butter. Wrap in foil. Go low and slow. They will fall off the bone. Last 20 minutes add BBQ sauce

For ribs..I make sure to take the thin membrane off... then I salt and pepper generously I bake them coveted with aluminum foil for 4 hours at 250⁰. Then I remove the aluminum foil, brush on BBQ sauce and either broil or put on the grill for about 5-10 minutes. They are perfect fall off the bone every time!!

When i watch this i remember my first shoping with my mother when i was 14 we just got rice and jam those kids are lucky to have mother like you

I never comment… but I’ve seen so many ppl comment how soothing these videos are and I agree! I’ve always had some anxiety but it didn’t get bad until about 5 years ago in my late thirties. And It’s hard some days! And my brother just stopped by and he can make me anxious bc his own issues (not mine to tell) but I hide it for him. He just left and all I wanted to do was watch the video… so this might be weird but I know your kids have sensory things and all the things.. thank you? For just being you!

We in the UK never use sausages like that for toad in the whole it's traditional pork sausages and the scone are nothing like those in this hall they are similar to your biscuits 🤣

For you ribs to make the great wrap them tightly in food safe foil after seasoning and cook them in the oven at 275 for 2 and a half hours then remove from oven and put on grill with the bbq sauce for about 10 minutes per side up to 15 minutes per side just long enough to set the sauce without burning the sauce

With so many Americans being food insecure it is amazing to watch you shop. I must check prices. I have a food budget, that I have to adhere too, like so many of us. I can’t imagine buying that much groceries at one time-Amazing!

Being a Canadian, I'm sobbing knowing I pay soooo much more for groceries 🙃 these prices are so good!

I think a lot of people like watching her go to the store because they're amazed she can just pick up anything she wants and not worry about the price or most Americans can't do that especially the one where she spent $35 on a toothbrush and bought like six of them that just shocked me

Lol the fact that she said “that’s enough” she had like five things of withe claw🤣 BTW LOVE YOU GUYSS🤍

There should be tv show, where you need to do the grocery shopping for you and you get rated on how many correct items you get. I feel like I’m prepared after watching so many of your grocery shopping videos,

If Niveah (sorry spelling?) likes french onion dip, please please just try this once!! Lipton onion soup mix. 1 packet, mixed with a 16 oz tub of sour cream. Mix and put back in the sour cream tub (or messily mix it inside lol, it always overflows that way) and refrigerate it overnight. SERIOUSLY! 2 ingredients and it blows any pre-made one out of the water, and is cheaper! It was a staple at my family reunions in the 90's with ruffles chips. Love you guys!

You'd love supermarkets in England. Some of them have scan as you shop scanners so you can scan and pack as you shop, then you scan a barcode at the tills to finish your shop, pay and you're good to go.

For things like the tomato paste and tin tomatoes etc would you not be better buying the bigger tins with more in them then lots of small ones? I thought it would maybe work out cheaper.

when we used to cook ribs after seasoning the ribs we would get a spray bottle and spray orange juice on the ribs while they were cooking covered in foil hopefully that helps :)

bless you you and your husband has kind hearts we are only a family of two and it seems everytime we go to the store prices are getting higher and higher cat food used to be 50 a can now its 90 we have not only real children grown and out of the house now we have fur kittie babies. You have patience kindness your beautiful and appreciated love your videos

I'm from the UK and I think the closest sausage you have to what we'd use in toad in the hole is probably breakfast sausage from what I've seen on people's videos. Basically pork based sausages.

I absolutely love your grocery haul! I love to grocery shop. You’ve actually given me some ideas of some new things to try for myself. Just found your channel today, and I really feel the love from it. God bless each of you! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Rib recipe: 1/2 cup brown sugar 3 tbs kosher salt 2 tsp pepper 1 1/2 tbs ground cumin 1 1/2 tbs onion powder 1 1/2 tbs paprika 1 1/2 tbs cayenne 2 tbs ground mustard 1 1/2 tbs garlic powder rub down the rack of ribs with the dry rub. Seal the ribs in Reynolds tightly, you may need more than one sheet. Put in 300 degree oven for 2.5 to 3 hours. Throw on extremely hot grill and baste with bbq sauce a couple times. My family loves it when the bbq sauce is burnt. It adds a crispyness to it. Also. when the ribs come out of the oven, they are literally fall off the bone so be careful when putting on grill. I make 3 racks at a time with a family of 6.

I’m OBSESSED with your family ❤️ (not in a creepy way thou 😂😂😂)….. I noticed you brought raspberry Jam this week instead of strawberry lol. God Bless you & yours 🙏🏾

So much respect for you, grocery shopping with at least 4 carts. I get flustered unloading one cart lol

Alicia you had me laughing when you said "just looking at that water display its giving me anxiety!!" Too funny, you always put a smile on my face thank you, have a great week

What a blessing to be able to shop like this on a weekly basis. 💗I really wish we could afford to.

I love your grocery haul. Nice when you shop and pick out your favorites for your family. You also give me suggestions to what the newest products that are out there, so when I go to shop I can add them to my list. I am so proud of you and Josh for raising such a wonderful family, love all the activities that you're children are in. God Bless you and your family. TLC needs to give you a show..

Hi Alicia, a piece of advice if you wish, Chan seeds are commonly used in my country to help lower blood pressure, they can be mixed with juices or water.

Itch Cream Tip: I am highly allergic to bites as well as everything that is outdoors. There is a lotion called "SARNA" and it is amazing. You just rub it in and within seconds it is much better, and the itch doesn't seem to come back for me. Also, I watched another vlog (men try) and they said for the Flamin' Mountain Dew it is best to have with the Flamin' Hot cheetos.

“Getting our ketchup for the week” Continues to get four bottles of ketchup “That should be enough”

I’m getting a little bit obsessed with this channel

American's are so lucky they have everything they need, food staff, fruits all kinds etc, you should pray for your country. God is good

Hey Alicia!! Love your content so much and I appreciate all that you do to educate and inspire people about fostering, adoption, and parenting🧡🧡🧡

if your having the ribs on wed try wrapping them in foil overnight marinated in unsweetened applesauce, the bbq as usual, best ribs ever !!

These videos never get old!

Salt potatoes are great! My sister lives in Oneida so every time she drives back home to Michigan Salt Potatoes are her ticket thru our front door.

You are a blessing girl~ an absolute inspiration 🤍⭐️

Hello. Cant wait to see what you buy this time around!

I love your grocery hauls I live I the UK 🇬🇧 and at the moment in the UK everything is going up in price we have to budget so much your hauls are so fresh that you buy what you want no budget no worries how fantastic is that.xxxx

Im so glad to see that you have croatian Vegeta in the store...seasoning "for everything" 😊thats our classic for generations. I love watching your channel and you have beautiful family. 🤗

I can't believe how cheap your grocery prices are. Thing are double to triple this in Canada. Ex. Large bbq sauce $9-12, snack pack and apple sauces in the large pack $22 for 18 pouches.

That flaming hot md is actually sooo good it tastes super limey. It's amazing and i don't even really like mountain dew lol

I love shopping 💖 but i don’t have enough money to buy whatever thing i want, so i come to watch your videos that makes me feel good. Your videos are so satisfying

Ribs: dry rub and slow cook at 200 F for like 4-6 hours. Then slather in sweet baby rays and finish up on the grill. Just needs enough time for the sauce to caramelize.

You gotta try Trinidadian 🇹🇹 food for around the world Monday's,you guys would loveeee it!!! 😍😍

Her voice is calming as she tells you what she gets. It's relaxing. No stress because you are not paying for it. Just enjoy.

Love this family y'all seem so caring need more like you. Alot ,of people are not so nice to me and mine, we're a big family to.

We are a family of 11(bio and adopted). I laugh at myself because we eat completely different than you all and are on a much tighter budget but I still watch 😜 Hugs mama!!

A German sausage in a Toad in the Hole?! My British heart had palpitations 😅 In all seriousness I like that you are teaching your kids about food around the world. Next time try fish and chips, or battered Creme Egg!!

Ribs.....Boil until the ribs are slightly soft but not falling apart, about 25 minutes. Prepare a grill for high heat. Transfer the ribs to the grill, meatier-side down. Grill for 10 minutes; brush with glaze if you like and then grill another 3 minutes.

I don't understand my watching these grocery hauls at all. I grew up in a family if 10 and my mother cooked meals from scratch, had a garden, used coupons, planned inexpensive meals etc... I hope this family appreciates ALL of their blessings big and small. Wishing them the very best.

You are smart folks so its the nurse in me who will say this once. Salty foods are NO good for hypertension. So it will not matter what Josh does he needs to avoid foods with Na. Our bodies get way more than the 2 Gms we generally need as adults, because of canned foods and foods like ribs, burgers and steaks and yup SALT potatoes. Be blessed stay blessed PS the green you are wearing is the best color on you TFS

I wouldn't mind seeing the whole process of organizing for summer and your system for when the kids are out of school

Love watching your content just before I sleep it’s so relaxing ❤️ thank you 😊 beautiful soul ❤️🤩🤩🤩
