Can This Monthly Aldi & Walmart Grocery Haul Last a Whole Month?

[@lakishamitchusson6368]

Your videos have really been inspiring me to be a better homemaker lately. I’ve been watching the older ones as well. It’s such a treat to be in your home and enjoy you and your family. Thank you!

[@acountrylife]

I'm so glad! The longer we do it, the better we become!!

[@vickihill4777]

I always used to have to replace spoons. Sometimes I would find them in the tree house or sandbox so I’ve been there too.

[@MidwestGirl]

I have that same bath mat from Walmart and I love it. It's SO soft and feels really good on your feet when you step out of the shower. Washes up really well, too.

[@acountrylife]

I totally agree! We are loving it 😍

[@lanagraham1661]

Hi Jennifer, great grocery haul, as always! Been missing YT. My 88-year-old Daddy suffered a Traumatic brain injury on 8/11 after a bad fall. He went from independent living to a memory care unit at a nice nursing home. We have been super busy with that transition. Look forward to catching up on your vlogs!❤

[@acountrylife]

Lana, I will pray for your family. That’s a lot to adjust to.

[@reginalancaster5626]

meal plans do help and how fun to get the ideas of people eating! I get very fussy planning meals when we all get together..... I so want someone else to do it it...haha.....Jennifer, you do such a great job and I feel your sweet family appreciates it! You are all such a great model of the sweet American Family and that is why I love watching you! I feel you are so grounded in God's word and I love how you all show that!

[@heatherperry5199]

The “great silverware disappearance”happens at our house too. I think it’s my teenager accidentally throwing them away when she’s rushing to clean her room. The ones I’ve bought from Walmart have worked great. I also lost my serving spoons. Maybe from bringing food to church and family gatherings and forgetting them.

[@thewoodenspoon9679]

I love watching your grocery hauls. I agree Jennifer that certain items are taking a giant increase especially chocolate and coffee. I’ll keep an eye on dried beans. Thanks so much for sharing the haul with us.

[@acountrylife]

Coffee!!! It’s been going up like crazy.

[@melaniemurphy2429]

You always have such good grocery hauls. I enjoy watching them. You mentioned deer season and I can’t believe it’s about that time already! This year seems to have flown by. It’s really true that the older you get the faster time goes by. I have probably 15 to 20 years on you so my time is speedy 😂😂 I hope you all have a great week!! ❤

[@acountrylife]

I agree that time flies and this year has been the fastest yet!!

[@janesecaraway3995]

Your grocery hauls usually without fail remind me of ideas for my own home! So thanks so much! ❤😊

[@Bnsmimi]

I enjoy your grocery hauls, so much, Jennifer and I really appreciate you doing them. Thank you.🌺

[@acountrylife]

Glad you like them!🫶

[@stewardofthehome]

These types of videos are so helpful for me! I just started a KZbin channel as an incentive to spend less. It's hard so keep the grocery budget low but it's possible!

[@CorscaddenSalvato]

Love thiss..every summer I pull out my little black kislux clutch and this summer I'm coming out with new heels so that will be my summer wear.

[@marydrew2583]

Jen. I have noticed that all my salad forks have disappeared! I'm living alone now but i don't throw them out accidentally but like you, had to buy more forks. Plastic silverware is so expensive. Its cheaper to just get forks like you did. Great Grocery Haul! Keep them coming!

[@acountrylife]

Good morning Mary 😊

[@marydrew2583]

@acountrylife I've been away from watching your channel for almost a year and now trying to watch daily AND go back and watch what I missed. I think you are an incredible wife, mother, chef, shopper, home schooler, and everything else you do. My favorite #1 channel and I still pay a monthly fee (never missed even when not watching). Keep doing the wonderful job of being a true hero in my book. I'm finally back watching, with pleasure. And boy have the kids grown up!!!

[@TammyCox-fl5oz]

I love all the meal plan videos and all the help with ideas from your family. It’s been fun to watch. 😊

[@acountrylife]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@bumblebee7922]

I LOVE your grocery hauls. How fun!!! That looks like a great bath mat. Can't wait to see the things Maria plans to make. Blessings....

[@acountrylife]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@jaynebennett3401]

Count Chocula cereal is my favorite cereal ever! We are gearing up for baking season here as well, in early December our church has a Cookie Walk, all of us bring in cookies to sell to the public, money goes to local missions ,my husband and ai will make 60 plus dozen cookies and we have 4 birthdays in December! Also the fork situation, thrift stores are a great place to find good heavy duty tableware.

[@debgordon6542]

Wow, 60 dozen cookies! I don't think I've made a total of that in my adult life 😂 Bless you for your generosity. I'm sure it will be a successful Walk.

[@jaynebennett3401]

@ we do it every year for 28 years now! It’s the only money maker for the Women of Faith group of our church, takes lots of planning!

[@acountrylife]

That’s an amazing amount of cookies. Good luck with the sale!!

[@jaynebennett3401]

@ Thank you,the planning stage and shopping are done,now we rest until baking time!

[@earldouglas3631]

I absolutely love these different meal plan videos you have been doing.

[@acountrylife]

I'm so glad! 💕

[@karenchakey]

Thanks Jen for sharing your grocery hull. God bless

[@cambriaperez2865]

Absolutely love your video 💝 so glad to see you 💝

[@acountrylife]

Thank you 😊

[@melindaridinger3008]

Hello Jennifer! I finally tried making gummies with home canned cranberry juice. They turned out great.

[@acountrylife]

I’d love to know more about your process.

[@lindacusick1156]

I’m using the same silverware for 54 years. My mother bought them from the Gorman company.

[@SONIAIIBARRA]

Great Grocery Haul!!👍🏻👍🏻,Blessings and have a Wonderful rest of the Week Jennifer and Beautiful Family.🙏❤🌷🍁🍁

[@acountrylife]

Thank you! You too!

[@susanr791]

Ah! I recently purchased an identical bath rug from Walmart - I’m loving it!

[@acountrylife]

We love ours too!!

[@kayd2474]

Silverware always ended up in my teenagers’ rooms!

[@juttakasapis6408]

Thank you Jennifer, another awesome video. 😊❤

[@acountrylife]

Glad you enjoyed it!🤗

[@HammTeach]

Another great haul video! ❤

[@acountrylife]

Thank you! 🤗

[@JanetLavoie]

The forks get thrown away with the paper plates. Used to happen to me when i used paper products...stuff gets stacked on top of the plates hiding the fork and they get chucked into the trash.

[@acountrylife]

Sounds likely to me!!😊

[@shirleymorgan9254]

Hi Jennifer, we had to buy more silverware the other day and we got a from Walmart also, I just don’t know where it goes I’m clueless. Great video thanks for sharing.

[@anniem2675]

Great haul, thanks for sharing 💜

[@crystaldubose6465]

Would you please do a video on how and measurements of how to make Homemade Cranberry Sauce? Love your videos!

[@acountrylife]

Coming soon!

[@Mrsmadison45]

I also do the same thing for my morning coffee too ❤

[@journeyofamidwestquilter]

Great haul! And, yes, groceries prices are steadily increasing. I've not experienced any reprieve in this inflation at all!

[@acountrylife]

Big jumps in prices lately again!!

[@WillowsGarden]

Hi Jennifer and sweet family! It doesn’t take long to spend more than planned since it seems every time you go grocery shopping it is more expensive. Nice grocery haul though. Have a very blessed night everyone!

[@acountrylife]

So true!

[@christieflesch3750]

Love your grocery haul’s ❤❤❤❤

[@cambriaperez2865]

We've never lost our silverware either... Til recently.. and I know it's kids taking my forks to work and tossing em with their lunch. I'm like just take the plastic and stop using my forks at work. They say it's not them, but I'm like 🤔 smh lol

[@sharondore2792]

I just bought the chicken patties from Aldi too. We thought they were real good.

[@debgordon6542]

Good to know. Thanks.

[@countryfrau8328]

Good to know. We'll try them. My husband usually gets the Tyson brand and I hope the Ali's version is less expensive.

[@acountrylife]

We like the Great Value or Aldi chicken Patties the best!

[@deniselakatos5418]

Hi Jennifer. Love your grocery hauls. Black Silk is my all time favorite coffee. I have found it is the best, especially if you drink it black (which I do). Mellow-not bitter at all. Hugs.

[@acountrylife]

I love it with heavy cream. It’s so comforting in the morning; Warren drinks it black!

[@MyPawPrintLife]

Great haul!! Any chance you would vlog the Snickers salad? I’m so intrigued😀

[@acountrylife]

It’ll be in the next video.

[@debbielingl4893]

Try the light frozen whipped topping. It's a hundred times better than the regular.

[@cambriaperez2865]

The great value paper plates have definitely gotten thinner! We used the rest of an old bag up and bought more and I couldn't believe how flimsy they were. It's like needing 2 plates to be 1 like before

[@acountrylife]

Exactly!! I just bought the Aldi plates and they are still good and strong.

[@rachalnocchi5600]

Ohh!! Recipe for your cranberry wardolf salad please! Yum!!

[@ifthecreekdontrise]

Kroger has been running the nestle chips for 2.99 a bag - several times recently, including this week.

[@acountrylife]

I need to get back there. Since we don’t get their flyer anymore I just stopped shopping there because I forget to check the online flyer.

[@georgekessler3548]

@@acountrylifeI was going to go to Kroger specifically for this sale, but found that the price was almost the same per ounce buying the 36 ounce Tollhouse brand chocolate chips at Walmart. :)

[@thevikmanstorpkitchen.403]

Great haul❤

[@acountrylife]

Thank you! 🤗

[@kristenschnese6980]

Cranberry Waldorf salad? That sounds yummy!

[@Bex-rg8pj]

Thanks Jennifer! It’s hard to stretch a dollar today ❤

[@acountrylife]

It really is!

[@kelliconlan8133]

Anytime there is 50% off meat, I get it and freeze it!!! It's such a good deal that way.

[@acountrylife]

It sure is!!

[@franciegoins5632]

I have found when we use paper plates we lose utensils. I think my grandkids toss them in the trash. We also had the same set for years and are now losing them.

[@acountrylife]

I wonder if that’s what is happening to our forks too.

[@Madelinechriston]

I hope your haul lasts a month, because I know ow mine sure won’t! lol. I’ve been baking a little more to save money and I wanted to tell you that I made your black magic cake recipe and oh my gosh that was delicious with whipped cream!❤ thanks Jennifer!

[@debgordon6542]

What in the World is going on with the price of Chocolate Chips?! I always love hearing your plans for your items. We love the bath mats that Aldi has available a couple times a year. Thanks for sharing and helping me with my Aldi list.❤ btw have a wonderful Halloween. I'm sure there are a couple of adorable grands that will help with the abundance of candy. We typically have 600 trick or treaters!! They start at 5pm and we close down at 9:30pm. It's a big thing here, but I love it. Our new puppy will be Toto. The rest of us are characters from The Wizard of Oz 😂

[@debgordon6542]

Oh, Rachel wanted Maria to know that on The Food Network, Nov 14 at 8pm, there's a Harry Potter Wizards of Baking Challenge ❤

[@acountrylife]

How fun that you all dress up. I’ve never been a lover of Halloween, probably because I always had to cover my costume with winter wear and no one ever knew what I was dressed as. Cold climate problems 🥶 My kids live Halloween and designing costumes!! Enjoy all those trick or treaters!! 🎃

[@cathydecarles7084]

Hi Jennifer I love your grocery haul God bless you sweet friend Cathy 🙏🏻✝️☮️📿🎃🎃

[@acountrylife]

Thanks so much ❤️

[@dawnsparrow2311]

Just a thought on the forks, they may be unintentionally being thrown away. My son, who has some special needs, has a habit of tossing his paper plates into the trash WITH the silverware still on top. I’ve just happened to have seen silverware at the top of the trash several times. Yes, I’m glad he’s cleaning up after himself. I keep reminding him to check the plate for silverware though. Trash is literally right next to the sink at our house so it’s not even an extra step to put the silverware in a different spot. Hoping your new set stays around longer. Take care!

[@acountrylife]

That’s how our kitchen is set up… sink right by trash. It definitely could be getting thrown away. That’s the only reasonable answer.

[@countryfrau8328]

I caught my son emptying his pockets and throwing COINS in the trash! Quarters, even. He was probably about 26 when I saw him do that.

[@carolynrandle5454]

The kids have grown up so much

[@betterlivingonabudget]

I use the glue-on KISS nails (French), which I switched to about three years ago instead of getting expensive 'pink & white' sculptured nailed because that ruined my nail beds, and they are now very thin. I follow Brittany Vasseur, and she put me onto a few tips that make the nails stay on for up to two weeks, and I've never looked back.

[@acountrylife]

I’ve heard of her but never watched. I’ve been loving the glue on nails.

[@shellyperry171]

Hi Jennifer, stock those cho.chips , just heard on a local channel that cocoa is 11,000.00 a pound & 2025 the prices will go even higher😮. Where will it end 😢.Love your hauls thanks for your great channel. Shelly form MI. !

[@acountrylife]

Thanks for the info! That’s crazy 😐

[@treenaakers9429]

How long does your cranberry sauce last if it's not been opened?

[@acountrylife]

I waterbath can it and it lasts at least a year. Without canning it it will last a month in the fridge, probably longer. It’s like jelly in the fridge.

[@terrystarnes4413]

I have a larger family & I find I do best at Sams once a month. Buying bulk saves me lots of money. I also shop at Aldi for smaller items I need. But most of my food comes from Sam’s. For instance the large sharp cheddar cheese is much cheaper than Aldi 8 ozs. I grate my own cheese.Also chocolate chips are cheaper than Aldi at Sam’s.

[@acountrylife]

My closest Sam’s Club is over an hour away and I don’t want to make that commitment even though so many love Sam’s.

[@countryfrau8328]

One thing I love is Hershey's cream cheese baking chips. I've never even made cookies with them because I love em so much I just eat them from the package. I have only seen them at Wal-Mart in the baking chip area.

[@kittyrichards9915]

How long has it been since you increased your grocery budget? Everything has gone up significantly.

[@acountrylife]

As kids leave the nest I have not dropped it down at all.

This is a great video, I love it, my LV bag is a kislux , the quality is perfect and the price is great, I was not disappointed

I can’t even believe a bag of Doritos is over $6.00

[@acountrylife]

It’s insanity!!

[@mariezafonte6473]

Twenty Five years ago I bought 2 sets of silverware, figured the family was expanding. Ten grandkids later, where are all the teaspoons and forks. I am sure my table clearing helpers tossed them in the garbage. Don't ever buy silver plastic forks and spoons for holidays or birthdays again.

[@jenniferchristenson1272]

🤍

[@amyhamm3183]

First!

[@AwwadSincero]

Great video. I'm new to your channel and I love your vibe. Also, I can't tell the difference between the kislux replica bag here and it's close enough to the Amazon bag and it's cute, so that's good enough for me.
