Big Family Grocery Haul | Costco | How Much Did It Cost?

Brodie is such a handsome guy and he is so outgoing , I hope he never Changes ,he has a great personality .

[@kaisin1945]

Pre-heat oven to 425, rinse the sprouts, pat them dry, cut into halves or quarters, toss with a bit of olive oil, spread them out on a baking sheet, cook for 10 mins then toss them around, cook for 10 minute increments until they are 'crispy' on the edges (even 'burnt' looking...I promise they don't taste burnt), add salt/pepper to taste, then enjoy! They are addictive roasted like that and my family eats them like popcorn! Good luck!

[@joanna6279]

With Bacon yum

[@nancylpowers4778]

Yes, Very Yummy for the tummy.

[@ifyougoaway35]

Drizzle with balsamic glaze! Or honey!

[@cathylynnb5549]

Cooked like this adding minced garlic sprinkled on them! So good.

[@mariesullivan9154]

My favorite way to eat them.

[@MiaLucifer]

If it something your kids would enjoy I truly believe you guys should start a garden with just the things that you know your family will actually eat. It’ll save a lot of money and it’ll be a lot of fun to see grow. If you enjoy things like that.

[@scarlettmartinmd9131]

These people should write a book for others who would love to adopt. It takes a special person to do what they do. God bless them.

[@WasuWasuSu]

Honestly, I just love watching your family. It’s huge, crazy, and warm. I’m very jealous of that warmth.

[@paulaacuna270]

Hi Crazy Pieces! Something my family did when I was little was to buy the snacks of the month (candy, chips, crackers, etc) and divide them equally for each kid, so my siblings and I would each have like 4 bags of chips, 4 packs of cookies, etc (don't remember the exact numbers, I guess every family should decide that). Everything was stored in separate bags one for each kid and we knew those snacks were just for us and they had to last for the whole month. We could either eat everything on the first 3 days and eat only the healthier options that we always had available for the rest of the month or think about how we wanted to save them for a month. It made us stop fighting over who could eat each snack and we also learned how to be responsible and more aware of what we were eating. I think I learned a lot from that experience and nowadays I enjoy unhealthy snacks once in a while but they are not part of my daily diet.

[@3kalb538]

Fantastic recommendation!!!!

[@rivinsilver]

My mom use to this. She gave each of us like a plastic box, she called them "tuck boxes" because it was snacks from the Tuckshop. Then she would fill it with snacks and that was our allocation for the month. If you ate it all on day 1 - shame for you. We learned that pretty fast .

[@serenahoover8460]

Roasted Brussels sprouts with olive oil,salt and pepper. Then drizzle with honey the last 5 to 8 minutes. So yummy!

[@Sonia-iz7sq]

This family inspires me to adopt

[@patsysantiquesandcollectibles]

Brussel sprouts cut in half layer them on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with Romano grated cheese and spray with olive oil and roast them in the oven until tips are browned.

[@leslieroberts1592]

We were skeptical of the already hardboiled eggs but after trying them we love to have on hand for salad or a quick snack and they don't smell up your house.

[@nataliewilliams8418]

Love your haul nice love how the family help with the grocery 🙏💕🇯🇲

[@ChildofGodslove73]

All of my life until a few years ago I thought I didn't like brussel sprouts until someone made them in a fry pan and browned them in butter garlic and balsamic vinegar... My favorite snack now.. yummy

[@liesbethartlife]

Love watching these hauls and seeing the blogs of your family.! It’s great to see others live and spend their budgets. Over here in Belgium I only have around 1k a month for everything including house things, groceries, doctor visits, cat stuff, medication, special soaps, shampoos for psoriasis & lupus. Now these past weeks I have to borrow money for groceries etc like around the 20th of the month.

[@ivyv4875]

I have lupus too. Got diagnosed when I was 6 ! Definitely a struggle

[@jennifersmith8640]

Roasted brussels sprouts with olive oil and salt and pepper are yummy! They can also be finely chopped and used in a salad.

[@angelasobmer7026]

Aurora excitement with her cup of noodles 🍜 was priceless 👌🏾 💜. Love watching the little ones 💙🩵💙🩵

[@franjones2882]

So glad you have a good income to spend That much on groceries, and like seeing the healthy groceries and cutting back on hot chips..

[@monayhawthorne9420]

I love when y’all do grocery hauls it’s my favorite thing I have been watching y’all since the very beginning I love when you guys do grocery Hauls and meal preps can’t wait for more videos Brussel sprouts are so good I can eat them all day

[@MAC_andJesus]

I love the glasses on Brody aka Jelly bean!😂 since he loves them so much I think he has a new nickname.. Jake was hilarious describing his reaction when eating Brussels sprouts. Those boys sure were great helpers at Costco! ❤

[@gabryylpierce8586]

That ramen!!! When I had to go low sodium a few years ago I literally cried sitting in my pantry reading labels...300 mg for one flour tortilla. You will be shocked at what you've been eating!

[@lillyisgaming]

I love brussel sprouts. I boil them and then melt some butter, put bread crumbs in the butter and fry them a bit and then put the brussel sprouts in. So good :)

[@sadiekromm3692]

Hi Crystal! There are actually stickers you can get off of Amazon as a medication tracker, and you just scratch off AM & PM .. I used them when I had a sports injury and I was a little out of it and couldn't remember if I took it or not! They are super helpful 💖💖💖💖

[@alishab1853]

The ramen she picked is just the noodles, that is why there is no sodium. Brussel sprouts are like little cabbages. So good!

[@brendataylor1100]

Siete products are always gluten free because the founder has a gluten intolerance. The cinnamon and sugar crisps are sooooo good! My friend says the chips are good but are hard for dipping because they are not as sturdy as a regular chip. -Brenda

[@jenniferberube1260]

The journey ministrues Where do u pur the siete products?

[@brendataylor1100]

@Jennifer Berube Costco but they sell Siete in the supermarket or Walmart. I'm guessing probably Whole foods or Trader Joes, maybe even Target but I live in Puerto Rico Target or Trader Joes.

[@karaashcraft6097]

Brown Basmati Rice is incredible! It is super low on the glycemic index, tastes wonderful, and the texture is fantastic. I highly recommend! We love rice in our house, and my husband is diabetic. It doesn't feel like you are sacrificing, at all.

[@shellyek6237]

Brussel sprouts are part of the brassica family which is cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower. Thing are basically mini cabbages. If you roast them in the oven with olive oil, bacon, dried cranberries and seasoning. Mmmmm so good.

[@oceanstaiga5928]

I’m surprised even with the big grocery stores they don’t seem to have a gluten free isle and a vegan Isle? It’s very standard where I live despite the super markets being much smaller. I hope it become more common everywhere so people with allergies and other life styles get more options :)

[@angeladelman4846]

Costco has them mixed it... but has good selections. I am GF and dairy free and we shop once or twice a month at Costco. I get dairy free babybel cheese there.

[@jenniferberube1260]

I find walmart has the best selection on gluten free otherwise u have to hunt for it. Because i dont drive a d have to take a bus its hard to get them on my walker. So i payed the 98.00 a year and i can have free delivery as long as i spend 35.00 each time. Easy with gluten free products. Im also lactose free so i know how Hanna and Halie feel. Most of the time i get what i order once in a while they are out but that is getting better as more products are coming out gluten free. Now i wish restaurants would catch up. So if i get invited out with friends i could go.

[@jackiestal]

It would be really interesting to know how much you pay each month for groceries. If you add all the stores and times go go shopping. And also other expenses such as clothing, phones, allowances for the kids etc. don’t know if you’d consider it too private, but it would be really interesting!

[@StiMaRi]

Your videos always make me so happy your family has a special place in my heart ❤ thank you for giving us some wholesome and realistic content ✨🥰

[@rubylabianodagotdot5037]

I am from the Philippines. Just so happy to see that the dried manngo you shop is from the Philippines

[@nicolepapole]

Those Siete almond flour tortillas are the best. We're not gluten free but they are made really well and Costco's price is so good. We use the rice ramen too! If you make a big batch of ramen, I suggest only adding blocks as you eat because they can overcook but they're so good. Also, brussel sprouts are THE BEST in a Dijon mustard type glaze! Get them nice and crispy!

[@jgmgreen01]

Jake doesn't know what he's missing out by not eating Brussel sprouts!!! I personally like to make them in the oven or grilled: parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder over, olive oil

[@D-M-J]

Oooo

[@kyracheera9007]

Crystal!!! I loveee marinated Brussels sprouts in balsamic vinegar and olive oil! Google a recipe, marinate overnight (key), that way they soak up the flavors of the marinade and it really comes through once you roast them! Just wondering if the kids may like these bc they’re so good! Omg and you can add everything but the bagel seasoning too

[@krystinemarie9275]

My FIANCE actually cooks a bunch of bacon and then sautés the Brussels sprouts in the bacon grease and add maple syrup to caramelize it and add the bacon bits back lol it’s amazing!

[@alyissathibodeau5079]

😲😱 oh my! I have never seen SEEDLESS lemons! 🍋 I make fresh lemonade often. Seedless lemons would be so much better! Wouldn't have to worry about missing a seed or two. 😆

[@brittajensen1479]

Make a salad with: finely chopped brussels sprouts, diced fresh apples and raisins. Mix your own dressing: olive oil, vinegar, lime/lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper. Serve it as a side dish to any kind of meat. Even with pulled pork in a burger that is so good.

[@ashleylwhitehead]

So I'm in central new York and we currently have snow, and are expected to get 7 inches of snow with slight ice accumulation and it feels like 21 degrees outside! Love your Costco hauls and Aaron gasping that you ate lunch without him made me laugh! Have a great week ♥️ love your family!

[@irenagallagher8053]

I absolutely love your channel and your family. You guys are so down to earth. I love seeing your Costco hall videos and your cooking videos. xx

[@trishallain6503]

Brussels sprouts are miniature cabbage not lettuce. If you cut them in half, roast them in the oven with olive oil, salt and pepper. And make a cheese sauce to put on them when they are done cooking, you can usually get kids to eat them. I love Brussels sprouts. You just reminded me that I have some I need to cook and eat.

[@catherinebarlow3079]

Am sorry mixing Brussels sprouts with cheese sauce sounds disgusting to me but l like roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon chopped up with chestnuts

[@CatJoyMeow]

Those salad kits with the poppyseed dressing and I’m purple bag, I’ve seen it made before in videos, that has brussle sprouts that are cut in thin slices!

[@2AwesomeDogs]

Aaron, Brussel sprouts are actually little cabbages. Lol lettuce 🤣😅🤣😆😂🤣😅🤣😂😂😂😂 Try them roasted in a chesse sauce... weather in Central Michigan we are having your second ICE storm within four days.

[@panicmode1411]

I shop on weekly basis, but of course when it's the first of the month we stock on meat and chicken(definitely not from a grocery store but from a trusted butcher even if it's more costly) then we stock on milk, cereal, frozen food, cheese, bread, soda and things that don't go bad. As for snacks we do those on weekly basis and we get what we plan to eat the week. It usually includes chips and snacks and vegetables. It's not something we used to do before covid. We had an empty fridge and apart for snacks empty cupboards. We used to buy daily or eat out but now it's expensive to do that everyday and it's good system

[@roselleflor6418]

Dried mangoes from the Philippines 😍 the ripe mangoes are the best too.

[@mooshimaqueenbee3291]

The ramen you got for Hannah is really good. We get it for my dad who can’t have gluten. The shredded beef you looked at for Brazil is really good. Just add whatever seasoning you want. Great for shredded beef tacos and burritos. It’s already cooked. So it’s great for a quick and easy meal!

[@kierasimonexo]

brussel sprouts with a thin layer of oil, ranch seasoning, salt and pepper and in the air fryer for 12 minutes is the best snack ever!

[@tessa4710]

Brussel sprouts are mini cabbage. I like to kinda over cook em so they get crispy in evoo,garlic, sea salt,fresh pepper and a little honey.... when they come out...yum

[@mzmt98]

Hey, just a tip; Brown rice is actually not much more healthy and actually has higher levels of arsenic. So kids should not be consuming a lot of brown rice.

[@adelawhiteking8449]

Love Brody style with loving Jellybean..... Love you guys .... We always eat rice ... It's our traditional food .... With every videos came there's a new spark and excitement.... Love it.... I can't wait for you guys to do the taste test for all that news stuff that you guys bought .... God Bless you all ... Keep inspiring Crystal

[@amyfluffyfluff880]

If you like strawberries that much, then maybe you should consider getting a raised bed for your backyard so you can grow them yourself, it would cut down on your food cost as well, because they over winter and the harvest grows bigger every year

[@daphtahquette9242]

Brussel sprouts are easy. I do mine with bacon and onions. I cut up a couple slices of bacon and a little dried onion. Cut the sports in half and in the pan out the sprouts in cover them with a lid and let them cook until they start to brown about 6 mins then flip and brown again. They will be soft. They are so good

[@joemiller401]

Try Brussel Sprouts with maple syrup and roast them till they start getting crispy in the oven. Much better! My daughter really likes them this way and she was a vegetable hater in her earlier years and now she can't get enough of them.

[@elysesandlin]

Hobby lobby and most big stores like Walmart and target sell chalk board markers that are colored. That could add more fun to the board!

[@janwagner7818]

Quite the grocery haul but well worth it-the jelly bean music lol😂-enjoyed watching-thank you for sharing ❤

What?? I was waiting on Jake’s Mango Salsa reaction. Lol 😂

[@Siluialwin]

When my brother had to go on a low glycemic index diet we found out that converted/parboiled rice was lower in starch/sugars than brown rice and white rice....so now my family uses converted/parboiled rice....but i still like white rice.

[@ashleeshipe7488]

No Crystal , roasted brussel sprouts are super good and so is roasted asparagus. I don't know if you have a Wegmans out there but asparagus with their basting oil and s&p is amazing

[@rachaelgriffin5809]

Hey Jake, brussel sprouts are really good with Bacon wrapped around them! You should try them!! Or with Velveeta cheese or buttery!!!

[@susiesantino5625]

Lol Brussel sprouts are not like lettuce haha. Different taste. I’m not a fan so can’t blame some of the kids if they don’t like it haha

[@jillian.maria91]

I would love to get some recipes from you guys! I struggle making meals that everyone will eat and that are healthy. I have to cook for 6-8 in our household. My mom didnt cook growing up so when I became a parent I struggled alot with meals. It was always basics like burgers, spaghetti, hit dogs, sandwiches, ect. Or the like premade meals. Over the years I've expanded but still struggle. My boys play football and do wrestling and they 14, 13, and 13 as of yesterday. I really want to get better at making new foods and healthier foods. My younger girls do soccer and they are starting gymnastics they are 10 and 9. So any recipes y'all have I'd love to see or hear about!! ❤

[@samantharagazincky7873]

Smashed Brussel sprouts with cheese is good. Brussel sprouts are baby cabbages. They are good. Broccoli with cheese is good. They say yogurt is good when someone is sick.

[@beckywiese4484]

Brussel sprouts are good. You fry up some bacon, use the grease and chop up some bacon and garlic. Cut the brussel sprouts in 4. Fry everything together. Put some cheese on top.

[@daily1796]

Hey! Let Hannah know the Banza pasta she got is really good, but when you cook it it will foam and you need to scrape the foam off while it's boiling. 😊

[@myfries11]

[@alliestea5583]

Jasmine rice is the safest to eat most frequently. Brown rice naturally has high levels of arsenic from the shell on it

[@stephanieburgess8217]

Hannah those almond flour tortillas are so good! I get them too.😊

[@tonyahooker5839]

Bake you Brussels sprouts in the oven. Cut in half and toss with your fav seasonings. Put in baking pan in one layer. Cut up some bacon and put all over the top of the Brussels sprouts. Cook until crispy or edges are brown. Those kids will love it them. Mine did💜

[@tonyahooker5839]

I use garlic salt, onion powder and pepper

Try the Brussel sprouts with a cheese sauce. I found it's the best way to get the kids in my family to eat them 😁

[@pebblep2l482]

Brussel sprouts are like cabbage. Fried in bacon or baked in oven are great.

[@scrappingscootergirl]

I love that you meal plan with such a big family. The meds hack is a good one especially with lots of kids and sometimes multiple meds! Love strawberries but I disagree about the apples-granny smith are the best! Love brussel sprouts! Crab corn chowder sounds tasty!I will have to look at my costco for pre-hard boiled eggs! LOL As soon I you grabbed the tacos, I remembered the mishap! LOL the taco cartoon you inserted was funny!

[@johnderekbayotlang7872]

Philippines represent! 🇵🇭 i just want to say that you have a fan from the Philippines, i’ve been watching your vlog for 3(or more) years already. And yeah! We got the best mangoes! Dried and fresh!!!

[@atbestplayedloud]

I love seeing these hauls! Those massive punnets of fruit look incredible! 😍 I am a big Brussels fan, boiled are the most common way we eat them here (UK) and probably why so many don’t like them as they overcook them and they turn to mush inside! but halved and roasted are even better tasting. My fave way though is halved and put into a veggie curry, they soak up all that flavour. Maybe Jake would like to try them that way! x

[@catherinebarlow3079]

Am in UK as well but l like Brussels sprouts mixed balsamic vinegar and bacon lardones and chestnuts roasted in the oven

[@catherinebarlow3079]

P.s don't like them boiled remind me of school dinners in late 70s early 80s it's all you could smell in school

[@pamrosas1358]

I have dropped my street tacos so many times. They need to put them in a plastic dish that snaps or have them taped shut. We love them.

Smother the Brussels sprouts with some onion and soy sause till they are a little blackened. So good.

[@syedamishalmashadi1378]

BRUSSEL SPROUT HACK! They are little cabbages Aaron not lettuce 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ Crystal thanks for the mom hack on medication! Brussel sprout hack for you! Dice bacon, onions and some FRESH garlic (not the minced in the jar). Put in the skillet those three ingredients. Sauté them till bacon is 1/2 cooked. Wash and cut Brussel sprouts in half (cut off bottom part it’s hard and bitter) put them in the pan with the other ingredients. (Add butter if needed) Fry them up until tender. You can add a little water and cover to get them cooked faster. A little like 1/4 cup (that’s if your cooking the whole bag) now when you’re done cooking them. Take some grated cheese and cover them with it. Let it melt. You can serve as soon as it’s melted!! Everyone including kids has enjoyed them this way!!

[@diannewelt155]

Bought the shredded beef in broth for our emergency storage. Delicious. Good for burritos, tacos, soup, stew. Try it!

[@susanglarum9050]

Try a variety of roasted vegetables and include the Brussels Sprouts. They are so good!!

I sometimes oven bake Brussels sprouts they have a sweet taste. Also you can put bacon with them in the oven. Christmas time they sell Brussels with chestnut and bacon they are really good!!

I would recommend changing from Gatorade to Biosteel. It’s less sugar and way better for active people

Max, the best jerky is homemade, get yourself a food dehydrator( they aren't very expensive ) and make your own, not only is it cheaper but you can control what goes in it. ( they also sell jerky seasonings online).
