FAMILY OF 14 WEEKLY GROCERY SHOPPING **And Restock** 

I was adopted through kinship placement at 4 years old. My "parents" never showed me love. I was yelled at and insulted every day, physically harmed regularly and denied nearly anything I requested. I ate ramen noodles 3 times a day my entire 3rd grade year. My clothes had holes, I smelled like dirty dogs. I suffered so horribly it took years to realize that kindness isnt something a person needs to earn. We just deserve it. You have no idea what you're doing for these kids. But I really do. You're showing them they are worth the thought. The money, the effort. You cannot make a person feel like they belong, you have to step them in it. The way so many of us are steeped in apathy. You are saving them from a lifetime of trying to fill their emptiness, you fill them up with love. These 12 children will be pitchers. Thank you so much. Every lunch. Every birthday party. You put their worries to rest. Someone loves them. Someone cares.

I love that in something as simple as a cheesecake, DeShawn knows he is important. Those are a couple of great kids, as well.

i love that you get things JUST because a kiddo is into it now...you are so responsive and present as a mom. also, as someone who lost their mom early in life --this is so nice, i love coming along with you on your errands! your channel's videos are never hectic, only soothing to me.

How is it that I hate grocery shopping myself but yet I can watch your grocery videos all day? I watch all your videos but I look forward to these ones the most! I could not even imagine trying to figure out what you would need for groceries in a week.

So sweet that Alex stayed up with harlee. Hope he manage to get some sleep. Just shows what an amazing big brother he is ❤️

Alicia, if you see this, thank you for these. (No need to respond, you're a busy momma.) I have agoraphobia and it can be debilitating. But watching your videos when you're shopping feel therapeutic and feel as though I got my kick of human interaction. VERY weird, I know, but these videos actually help me take baby steps in going out. I can't really figure out how though but they do. The panic and anxiety still hit but lately, when I do venture out, I'm not _as_ scared, paranoid or worried. Again, thank you.❤

Hearing about how Alex stayed up all night melts my heart, he is such a good older brother ❤️

I love the idea of around the world Monday. Exposing the kids to different cultures foods and experience!!! Is awesome and allows them to try different things. Gives me Inspiration to try different recipes. Had a though you could expand on the idea and maybe watch a movie, documentary or tv show from the country that week and show the kids where that country is on a world map etc

As a person who came up in a family of 11, please do a recycling/garbage video. Based off what you buy and paper plates and all, it must be incredible.

I always listen til the end. Those affirmations are so special! I am single 60 years old and I love the positive words!!

I cannot even imagine keeping food for 14 people stocked! Oh my gosh! You have an amazing system with your store list and your home organization storage. You always seem to know what you have and what you’re low on. Soooo many meals!!! Wow! I don’t care for grocery shopping, but I will never complain about it again! ❤️

I love that Alex took care of Harlee instead of waking you. It also shows that Harlee has a bond with her older brother. With each video, your children continue to impress me. Your children are a reflection of your great parenting skills. Looking forward to the next video.

I love that she includes the dog's favorite things now too in the grocery haul !! 😍

I hope someday if they haven't already. I hope the kids watch your videos to know how well you paid attention to their needs. As you've shopped for each individual item the wanted or needed. Meal planned. Making sure everything was stocked for the entire week each week. Just such a good parent in general. Your videos make my entire day.

I love watching Alicia shop and I'm always amazed at how many items she can pick up with one hand!

It's amazing how happy and calm you always seem. It must be challenging caring for so many of your kids.

I was waiting for this all day lmao😂🤣

It all looks great! I wish I was able to go through the store and buy whatever I want/need. Shopping on a strict budget can sometimes be stressful and tiring. I love your attitude about shopping, and being so considerate of everyone’s preferences 💕

"Skyr" is pronounced like "skeer", it's a type of Icelandic yogurt that's similar in texture and taste to Greek yogurt, so that was a good substitute! I'm surprised Wegmans didn't have it in the yogurt section, skyr has gotten popular due to its likeness to Greek yogurt :-)

I don't usually watch grocery hauls, but your calm and kind vibes makes me watch yours all the way through 😃

Here is Australia the only time we ever use disposable plates, bowls and cups is for like a bbq or something. But I suppose with that many people eating each day it’s like event catering 🤣🇦🇺

I gotta say I really don’t love family channels anymore. This channel (this woman) is bringing back my faith in family channels and how good people are still out there. Please keep being authentic and sweet. You are loved and such a wonderful woman ❤️

Your 12 babies are such a credit to you. The feeling of love and support in the Dougherty house is amazing. Mama and Papa Dougherty, you are angels 😇 💖

The fact you know all of their favourites, individually is so cute. I love watching your videos.

This lady is amazing the time she dedicates cooking, shopping and laundry and her children. I only have 1 14 year son and husband so I work outside the home but this lady seems work 24/7. She is most productive SAHM I have ever seen in my life.

This video really helped me so much.. it was needed. It was a hard, really stressful weekend for me and your video let me escape for a while. I am so thankful! I love seeing your beautiful family, blessings💜

I found your channel when I was sick and unable to get out of bed. Your videos were so perfect to watch when I was sick because of they were so chill and calm but still entertaining to watch. As I am feeling better I still am loving watching your videos to end a chaotic day. I love your positive tone and dedication to your family! Thanks for making these videos!❤️❤️

I love watching your videos I have been learning so much about being a great mom from watching you. I never had a parent that cared or showed me how to be a good parent. You and your family have taught me it’s ok to be human and that I am loved and cared about no matter what. Thank you for existing Alicia and thank you Doughertys for being such an inspiration for people like me who grew up with not much love. 🧡🧡🧡

Your videos are my source of COMFORT! I started watching you when I got covid and still do whenever I feel overwhelmed with work.

I'd love to move in for a week to experience your family life :) Love how you cater for every child's likes and current favourite foods. Also love the positive affirmations at the end of all your videos.

Love this haul! So relaxing to watch for some reason. I hope you have a great week!!

i love that Alex didn’t wake you or Josh and just took Harley downstairs with Harley to watch tv with her. Seriously the best big brother!

I love these videos so much. i love seeing what your family likes its so cool to see their snack choices

Alicia, you and I are the same age and I honestly don’t know how you do it all! I only have my husband and little sister (I couldn’t have children) and work a full time job and I don’t accomplish HALF what you do in a week! You’re an amazing mom! BTW, the stores here in northern Louisiana usually have caramel macchiato creamer (it’s my favorite too) and if I could figure out how to send it to you without it spoiling, I’d definitely send you some!!

In out country, if children were fed with customs duty. Child protection and school health nurses would intervene in family affairs. Look at Taina Licciardo-Toivola with their. healthly children´s feeding .They have 10 children

Gracias por tus vídeos, padezco ansiedad y ver tu material me relaja muchísimo, bendiciones a toda tu familia!

Yay! When I saw the short I hoped for the full length video before bedtime. Is it ridiculous how much I enjoy going along while you grocery shop? Maybe. Is it something I look forward to every week? Yes, yes it is. When you go down an aisle I want to shout "Wait! You forgot the mayo and the Ranch!" I've noticed lately that you point out when you don't need a regular item, so perhaps other people have mentioned this to you. Thank you for sharing your family with us!

Hello and good evening Alicia!!. I love how much energy you have!! You are truly a inspiration. Adore watching you and your beautiful family.

Wegmans does everything so well. Those donuts looked so good. Lucky kids. We were lucky if we got 1. But you make sure they can have seconds. Nice to see deshawn broadening his taste. With the cream cheese. Love watching you food shop

I’ve always wanted a large family, me and my husband are expecting our first, due in 3 weeks. We want 3 of our own and plan to adopt 2 one day when we’re able. You’re videos make it so easy for me to categorize what I need for the week! And they are so inspiring.

I love these videos it’s so interesting to see US supermarkets even though it’s a mundane task it’s just fascinating to see stores around the world. The package sizes are so huge even brands from my country don’t sell the sizes here they have there. You’re such a great mum and you are always so pleasant and upbeat it makes it joyful to watch you shop, cook and do laundry.

Wish I could just pack my trolly like that without worrying about costs. You go girl.

I really enjoy your shopping, restock,put away,and family vlogs!! You and your family are my favorite RU-vidrs!! ❤️❤️

Hi! I love your grocery hauls! Can you show us how empty the fridges get at the end of each week or right before you restock now that you have shown us how full they are once stocked?

Always love your grocery hauls. I find going grocery shopping is one of my favorite things to do.

Your channel is addictive, it relaxes me. I love what you do for your family and I will continue to pray for you guys😇😇

Wow 6am on a Sunday! Our shops here in the UK don’t open until 10am on Sunday’s...I’d love to go out shopping that time of day when it’s empty. Love you all x

The dedication!! Im really looking up for you alicia, you're such an amazing mom ❤️🥰

anyone else eat their meals while watching their channel? just me? ok.😺

I don’t know if it’s just easier for you to get the smaller sizes of sugar and flower, but I recommend buying the larger sizes as it lasts longer and ends up being cheaper in the long run🙂

I love the shopping trips and the breakfast videos....the afternoon snack board is a bit too much for my anxiety but l love most other vids...you always have so much energy...

I'm so impress with you. The organisation, the love you're showing your family AND all those little things you're doing for them. I'm in total admiration of and for you. 😍❤👍😊

It looks like a lot of sweet things are bought but remember items are being divided amongst 12 children. One box is one day or one treat. For my kids a box of 12 Popsicles could have lasted almost a week at one a day each. But with 12 kids one box is one day. So multiply everything you buy for your family to equal 12 kids and two adult's. Plus there are teenagers so maybe then add xtra because they are high energy and eat

These trips are soothing to me. Idk y but lately I have been experiencing anxiety over groceries and supplies. I do know that before the pandemic, I stocked up on barely anything. But for some reason lately - don’t know if because it’s hurricane season or because of all the inflation talk and supply chain issues - I have been spending crazy amounts at the store. This is such a weird feeling for me to feel. I used to be ok with a half empty fridge, now I only feel content if it is stuffed to the gills and it’s just me!

I love this type of grocery shopping/vlog! Please keep doing it ❤️ love your family and your channel, is so relaxing to me! Sending lots of love

I love watching other people grocery shop bc right now I can’t afford the extra stuff. 😂 these food prices are killing me

You are so inspiring and just love watching your shopping vlogs and family videos!

Watching this channel to me is like watching my favourite t v programme,I get excited when you upload a new vid,love every thing you do.You and Josh should be so proud x

Yes! I was waiting for this video. Thank you, you’re an amazing mother! 💙

Love watching you and your family! Awesome system you've got, you make it look so easy! 💜

Such blessings to have an abundance of food for your family.

You might possibly be one of the most inspiring moms i have ever witnessed in my life. I have 3 children that are grown now, & there were times that I stressed with only 3! I love all of your videos, but most of all I love your heart. Much respect from Kentucky❤

I just found your videos, and I am so glad. You just emanate joy and peacefulness. You give me so much inspiration as a mother myself to four awesome kiddos. Thank you for sharing what you do, your kids are blessed to have you!!

Love seeing your videos at the top of my newsfeed! Just makes my day! ❤️

I haven't been following Alicia long, but I will tell you I can't wait to see Christmas mess!!! I LOVE Christmas lol!!! And omg I really enjoy watching you put your haul away!! Lmao I love it!

Your weekly grocery hauls are so relaxing to me, I always feel like I am hanging out with a friend. I went shopping today and I am hardly this relaxed xD Also, what is it with Wegmans' carts pulling apart so smoothly? When I go to our local stores it's like tug of war trying to separate some of them xD

I find using the french vanilla creamer and using swirls of Ghiardelli Caramel Topping makes strong coffee into a Caramel macchiato. Each grocery haul you do, I root hoping you will find your Caramel Macc creamer!

Been using your water melon trick, it works haven’t had a bad one yet. thank you 😊

You let your kids sleep in after grocery shopping? That's really nice of you, my parents go shopping at the crack of dawn and wake me and my sister up before they leave to do chores and clean the house while they're gone, then to be ready to bring in everything and put it away and start their lunch.

I wait for these videos every week! It’s something that relaxes me so much!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️. I love you guys

I just stumbled onto this channel and my god. I’m in tears seeing the love you have towards the kids I wish I could become a caring mother like you are.

Love your grocery shopping hauls! Look forward to them each week! You’re so calming in your voice. I’m just a mom of 5 boys. I wouldn’t know how to feed 14 people. God bless you! So much more patience that I wish I had. You got older kids than mine. Love watching your family grow!

I also enjoyed watching you put the groceries away…I always appreciate another mom’s OCD😉👍🏻

I was so happy to see LONG haul. Thanks so much Alicia

I literally look forward to your shopping videos. After a long day in food service, it's literally soothing. That and mukbangs

Alicia you are not only a good mom, but a great mom. I love your patience, spirit and devotion to your family.

Loved this vlog, definitely need to do more general day in the life from waking up to end of the day it’s so interesting and love to see the different parts of your day guys 🙌🏽☺️ thanks for your great content! Love from UK 🇬🇧

Yay 😁 happy Monday beautiful soul 💖 thank you for always sharing your life with us, appreciate it so much 🤩🤩🤩

Yeah I agree. Who's birthday is it next? I love seeing your bonaptite shorts and seeing dad doctery in the morning routines.

I love watching you shop! You’re such an inspiration 🧡🧡🧡

Thank you for the video! Love your grocery hauls!!

Its amazing how you manage all this! Blessing for your family.

Thank you Alica,,because of how you got your pantry set up,,I got off my butt an took one of the side bedroom an made me a pantry out of it,,ol my goodness I love it. My husband was so happy,, he said now he can find everything an he loves it. Plus I took a small closet an made it into a small appliances room. Works Great😃👍 Love your shopping hauls,,I would love a store like that where we live. Great vlog as always 💞

I think it's so crazy how you go shopping every week for groceries but you have a garage stacked up with food you have about four refrigerators stocked up with frozen food drinks and snacks

Been waiting for your post since yesterday😆 Its like a routine watching your videos before going to sleep. You're such an amazing family❤

You are such an inspiration. You’re doing AWSOME!!

As someone from England who’s never been to America I LOVE watching these videos, not only because you are a fantastic mother, but because I love seeing all of the things in American stores!🤣❤️

Love your family! Hope you all have a great week!

I love how the fact that your so organize and I love how you try different foods from around the world 🌎, that’s pretty different

I love your videos they are some of my favorites. I was in foster care for almost my whole young life from 2-17 and I had some really mean ones that wasn’t good to me it makes my heart happen to see how much y’all love all your friends I wish I would have had foster parents as good as y’all. I finally did find good foster parents that adopted me when I was 18. My adopted parents was amazing I unfortunately lost my dad almost two years ago due to Covid. Watching your channel always brings me joy

Just a curiosity question ....Why don't you buy some items in bulk ? (Ex: sugar, flour , spices , mayo , jam .) It would probably save you alot of money .

Love your videos! So inspired by your life! 💗💗

You and your family are my stress reliever ♥️ i can literally sit, scroll and watch your videos even the old ones to the point i used all my Gbs of load lol worth to watch all your grocery vid and fam vids ♥️♥️

I love watching your shopping hauls and organizing!

Love the idea of trying foods around the world! I used to love skyr, it's almost like sour cream mixed with plain yogurt. When i moved to the states i couldn't find it for a long time, then i saw it along with the "healthier" yogurts one time haha. I would eat it like yogurt for breakfast with some honey on top but i heard that you can also use it to bake break and make pancakes.

sometimes the fish stock is in frozen foods aisle or else at the seafood counter

We always put a piece of toast under our beef stew to stretch it. We loved Denty Moore. Noodles are a good idea too.

I literally fall asleep to these videos more then I would watching an actual asmr video, they are so relaxing & I just loveee them!

these r so chilll i like how she literally memorizes everything the kids basically like, its cool.

you always buy every week pumpkin, chocolare chips and mayo...that is something you should stock up for the month (4-5 weeks),
