Definitely a second Mother’s Day for Katie,she’s a lovely mum and deserves to be spoilt…..AGAIN !!😆💕

[@FamilyFreedom]

Aw that's so sweet of you to say! We fully agree with you that we should celebrate a US mother's day! 😊

[@kazza3451]

Katie should absolutely have another mother's day. She deserves it. Would love to see a dollar tree food haul. Poundland vs Dollar Tree would be a good one too.❤️

[@dianemoulsdale6892]

Sorry Bob JoJo it looks like you’re getting out voted . What’s that saying, when in Rome , your living life in America go on spoil the Mrs . Katie always thinks of other people and she’s a good mum . Love the idea of a shopping haul ❤️❤️❤️

[@Home_with-Mr.penguin]

Katy:What about mothers day? Bob and Jojo: We've had mothers day. Katy:But what about second mothers day?

[@FamilyFreedom]

Aw thanks for the lovely comment Diane 😊 Bob was only having a joke, and we'll be doing something for a US mother's day too 👌

[@honorsilverthorne7227]

​​@@FamilyFreedom Good; because you had me thinking "WOW! All those other stores, and he's gonna get cheap at the DOLLAR TREE⁉️" 😂😂😂

[@veronicawilson2921]

As an American I would celebrate Katie on Mother’s Day 💐 you all are so lucky to have her

[@FamilyFreedom]

Aw thanks Veronica, that's a really sweet thing to say. Bob and JoJo were only joking and we all do plan to do something nice for Mother's Day in the US 😊

[@Yoongiwifie]

Katie is a good mother , I think she deserves another mother day! If it wasn’t for her you wouldn’t have your kids! Remember what she put up with on the daily ….being a mother isn’t easy

[@amy3358]

Without a doubt Katie deserves a Mother’s Day whilst in America! It’s only right, as she’s amazing and does a fantastic job day in day out! Shes so inspiring to me and many others! Those mess free bluey colouring sets that were $5 are fantastic. They won’t draw or colour in anything but the mess free colouring pages they come with/other sets. And it’s magic, they colour in the same colour the lid is even tho the pens look colourless! Fantastic invention! I’d defined love to see a weekly food shop or even who can cook the best meal for $5/10! Glad you guys are having an absolutely amazing time in the USA! 🇺🇸 just keep rising ❤️

[@violettfain6962]

As an American welcome Katie and Astrid and JoJo

[@mxfolkard]

Yes Katie, you / she should have another Mother’s Day, she’s such a wonderful Mum and likewise Bob, you’re / he’s a great Dad. Dollar tree is like poundland but better! Loads more stuff and variations of stuff #freegang #livebutnotlive #justkeeprising 💚

[@Rosie-iy2bv]

if you have an excuse to treat your wife/mum 2 days of the year instead of 1 why wouldn't you? Of course mums are special everyday, but they do so much for their families that having a dedicated day a year is an extra focus on making sure they're recognised. If there are 2 mothers days or 2 chances to show your wife/mum just how special, appreciated, and seen she and her efforts are, I would want my mum to have that 1000%. I'm not a mum, I'm a grown adult, but I see now I'm older that I want my mum to be cared for and recognised as much as possible. So 2 mothers days, wow! what a blessing to show her how much i love her, what a beautiful reminder for the dates to have aligned that way❤

[@FamilyFreedom]

Very well said Rosie! Thank you for taking the time to say all of these beautiful points - we're all in full agreement that mums should be appreciated to the maximum! 💚 Bob was only playing and does genuinely have plans for the US Mother's day 👌😊

[@andreadoolan416]

I'm already the happiest boy in the world.... JoJo is an absolute diamond of a human being.x

[@Sazra]

I vote yes on Mother’s Day 2.0 🇺🇸. We are the authority after all. 🙊

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thank you 😁💚

[@pennymunt112]

Definitely have another mothers day you only get one mum ❤😊

[@LauraHeloise5]

I've thought of a ridiculous challenge you could try...only buying things which people have put back in the WRONG place!!! Obviously, not frozen things which have been left to thaw out...but I was wandering round Tesco today and saw just how many things are dumped in the wrong place! 😵‍💫

[@FamilyFreedom]

That's such a fun idea! 😃

[@BethanySeanAZ]

Now that’s a fun challenge. I agree I was trying to think if I would do that I don’t think I could do this challenge but you guys look like you’re up to it.

[@josephfong2003]

Super late but twice a year Mother’s Day for Katie!❤

[@pinkplateful1957]

Memorial Day is also celebrated with USA decor. It is the last Monday in May. Mothers should be celebrated often. Katie deserves all the parties and gifts! I think a 24 hour Dollar Tree food challenge might be more doable for vegans than a whole week. :)

[@202kittykat]

Would love to see a dollar tree vs pound land challenge

[@meg_dances6235]

I was working at dollar tree when prices changed about a year and a half ago , i read the paperwork some dollar trees were converted to $1.25 beyond while my Dollar Tree in Clearwater Florida was still only $1.25 For Everything!!! You just have to find the right dollar tree because you never know which ones more money until you get into the store!

[@FamilyFreedom]

That's interesting to know, thanks for sharing! 🙏

[@Treh-pz3oz]

Hello from upstate New York! All the American decor is for Memorial Day coming up toward the end of May.

[@sayitskay]

You'll probably have to leave the scissors too. Because they probably won't let you take them on the airplane.

[@francinecousin2800]

Mother’s Day here celebrate here ❤ Happy Mother’s Day 🎉

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thank you 🤩 💚

[@stephaniemccarthy1676]

Always Mother's day with your son. He is a doll! Great sense of humor and very good looking like his Mom and Dad! Also. I also love miniature golf.

[@fionaraeburn9080]

Yes you should

[@codependentk2888]

Two things, first, yes Katie deserves a second mother's day. Second, yes the America stuff is for Independence Day. In America the stores stock the shelves months ahead of the different holidays.

[@honorsilverthorne7227]

Was gonna say that! 😅

[@stephaniemccarthy1676]

Less than $20.00 is great!

[@JamesR-j4t]

We were just in the UK back in May 2024. My husband loves Doller Tree and was joking "I wonder if the have a Pound Tree?". and not 5 min latter we passed a Pound Land, it was prefect. Although we did not stop to go in, it was a good laugh. We would love to see a video comparison.

[@martinknoerr8037]

Dishes are like flat plates. Bowels you eat soup or cereal in. So you're correct. They're called Bowels.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thanks for confirming Martin! The lady we spoke to must have just been confused! 😃

[@BeverlyNewman-t9f]

I like both ideas and I'm in America and I say bowl.

[@PoorCatPortraits]

You have to celebrate Mother's Day while in America!

[@jamesparham1467]

the lady must have been confused they are called bows here thank you for the video

[@jamieleighcarradice8822]

The amount of arguments I have with my husband over the world mum I say mum he calls his mum mam ! And by looks of it so does most of the north😂

[@josephfong2003]

These kind videos are so satisfying ❤🤭

[@eleanormarchant4890]

Yes, Katie deserves a second mothers day ❤️😂

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thank you 🤩 💚

[@Trustbutverify2651]

The colander would be in the plastics section - they do have them in Dollar Tree.

[@emilyknights6033]

This really makes me want to go to America , five and below always looks really good aswell!😊

[@LouisePetrilli]

Definitely another mother day Yes

[@Musicchez85]

Great iv3 never been to America so it’s nice to see the dollar tree😃 xx

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thanks for coming along with us 🙏

[@ashlynn4245]

Wot a great video fam I love great value stores like Katie I'm always looking for cheap kitchen things to make my life n fam lives beta n easier

[@kimnapier8387]

I love Dollar Tree! I buy kitchen towels there. They are not high quality, but they are washable and don't upset when you have to toss them away. Raising a family with 3 kids, made it very inexpensive and efficient. Love your videos 😍 and your awesome tips! Keep rising family ❤❤!

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thank you for your kind words Kim! We love Dollar Tree too, we wish they had one in the UK 😊💚

[@JulieBilson]

Thanks for sharing guys Katie be allowed another mother's Day🎉

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thanks Julie! 😊

[@mikeguy]

yep, those were bowls!!

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thanks Mike :)

[@dizzycowuk]

I definitely think it would be interesting to see a grocery video from dollar tree.

[@JMarieCAlove]

When the Dollar tree came about years ago, a lot of people assumed everything was just one dollar. Of course inflation doesn’t help when prices have to go up and the more people rob from retail stores, the prices go up. I haven’t shopped at the Dollar Tree in a long time, there’s one just fifteen minutes from my home. I think I’ll go see what things I might need. 😁

[@thelifewithburd]

They start stocking Holiday items months early in USA. around oct you start seeing Christmas items in stores.

[@barbaraehm6443]

Loving your channel! I live in Wisconsin and all of the prices here are no longer $1.00. It went up to $1.25 an item. Happy Mother's Day!!

[@sayitskay]

Yes you should get another mother's day.

[@therichlife8657]

In the South. We call a Trolley/Cart a Buggy.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Ah good to know! 👍

[@sharonellis8776]

This was great. Please do the comparison challenge. xx

[@jessicavillena2662]

Yes 2 mom day

[@CrazieFrogz]

@Katie, you was 100% correct when you said "Is this for independence day" for some reason here in America the big Corp's for some reason put all holiday stuff out months before the holiday And yes you should have another Mothers Day and American style Mothers day, complete with flowers, card and then we take Mom out to eat to a restaurant of her choice!

[@Stephrp613]

of course you should have another Mother's Day! I was in Ireland last year for Mother's day and we celebrated and then came back to the States and I had American Mother's day! Mother's are so important we should be celebrated!

[@FamilyFreedom]

Too right Steph!! 👌😊 Mothers are so important, and we all feel we should take the take the time to celebrate and acknowledge them 💚

[@Stephrp613]

USA things for Memorial Day, last Monday in May

[@cookie1598]

Oh Hello Bob Katie most definitely deserves Mothers Day in the USA as well. When we were in London we celebrated the extra day there so I say turn about is fair play and as much as she does for yinz she should have a special day each month, IMHO Yes Katie we call them bowls as well maybe they person had a hearing issue because I understand your accent perfectly.

[@fionaraeburn9080]

Yes

[@aimeesalter9521]

Yes of course you need another mothers day it should be all about you for 24 hours you Deserve it you should relax and let the boys do everything for a day 💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@FamilyFreedom]

Too right Aimee! Bob was only joking, and of course we'll be celebrating it here as well 😊

[@aimeesalter9521]

I know bob was joking lol xxx

[@ambiieetaimalie]

❤❤❤❤

[@kcmobaseballmom]

Patriotic stuff is already out because people use it to decorate for memorial day which is the end of May. It will stay out through July 4, which is Independence Day.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Ah right, thanks for letting us know! 😊

[@therichlife8657]

Put a cheese cloth over the colander for your rice.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thanks for the tip 👌

[@tazhyland9070]

Yes Katie should get a mothers day USA style mothers day party

[@catherineturner2839]

Every day is Mother's Day Katie

[@FamilyFreedom]

Aw, thanks Catherine, we like that!

[@aliciafoster4771]

Hi Freedom Family! I’m new to your channel as I just stumbled upon it. What a wonderful family you all are. I’m already subscribed. Just a note… most stores will have the American 🇺🇸 flags and decorations out starting in early May. Memorial Day is at the end of May, Flag Day is June 14th and the 4th of July is coming up soon. You’ll also have a huge influx of Americana decorations for Veterans’ Day which is November 11. And of course Katie should have a US Mother’s Day celebration. You guys are a joy to watch. ☺️

[@marlenemoore4587]

If you go back to Dollar Tree you should be able to get a mesh wire sieve for your rice.

[@wilmabaker4500]

O. Love the dollar tree,you have to be careful everything is so cheap you will end up spending more than you plamned.❤

[@FamilyFreedom]

Totally Wilma! 😃

[@tammiemiller8272]

Love the Dollar tree but some things are more than a $1 but here were I'm at we don't pay taxes in MT glad you enjoyed your time in America and Just Keep Rising 💚☝🏾

[@dorisrougvie1793]

Great shop ,I have some people follow that do dollar tree ,good to compare villa looks great😊

[@gailellis1778]

Hey Bob, you should try to find the part for your van while your hear in the US.

[@FamilyFreedom]

That's a good idea Gail! 👍

[@abunnylife]

Wow I can’t believe how long you will stay in US. That’s how you do a holiday!!!

[@KreekCraft_Steak_Clips_Vods]

Lol I like the fact you got enough food for longer than a weekend

[@BeeApple-sr3db]

Dollar Tree is going to go up in price. The prices are $1 and up here in Boca Raton, Florida

[@eviesharp17]

I’d love to see you try vegan options at different US restaurants! Loved this

[@FamilyFreedom]

We'll do some vegan food videos for sure! 😊

[@alisonconfer9007]

It's called a bowl in the US too.

[@user-mm2pj4nb6gcaz]

Hi family freedom ❤ loving following your America trip 😊 especially great seeing Jo Jo, he is so handsome, 🤩 lots of love guys ❤️❤️ xxx

[@ZoeBoothroyd]

Loved this xx

[@Mama4d8]

All bowls are dishes but not all dishes are bowls. Yes you need an American Mother's Day. We stock shelves for holidays months ahead. Let's see, what else did I forget to mention,lol.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thanks for all of the info! 🙏

[@karenmar1529]

Yes I definitely vote for Katie getting another Mother's day 💕 The saying goes..when in Rome...so when in the states Mother's day is in May 🤗 Loved the dollar tree shop. Is it the same in the UK that some Poundlands are better than others depending on location? I can say that is the way it is here, I would go to a couple in search of what I needed and most times would find it at another location. Love how happy Jojo is he always brightens my day. Oh forgot to mention Target is a great store and they have a dollar section for some items etc. If you are interested.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Hey Karen, thanks for your vote for celebrating Mother's Day here in the US! 😃 Bob and JoJo were just joking, so we do plan to do something nice 👌 Yes, in the UK we have found that some Poundland stores are bigger and better than others, with better or more products available, so I guess it can be the same with Dollar Tree 🤔 Thanks for the tip about Target, we hope you have an amazing day! 🎯😊🙏

[@karenmar1529]

@@FamilyFreedom That's awesome, I figured they were joking around, you all are so nice. Glad you're all having a great Holiday so far. 🤗

[@susanbruscato1010]

The USA merchandise is for Memorial Day celebrated at end of May and the 4th of July after that

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thanks for letting us know Susan 👍

I use a flour siff to rince and drain rice

[@chelleld11]

Definitely another mother's day ❤️

[@ShaneGilbert-cx4th]

Hi ALL l saw farthers day stuff the othere day. In Coventry UK .my friend got some tike on tiles ,from poundland the othere week. 6tiles for £2 . May be do a day's shopping in the dollar store. Katie the first mug you picked up would be good for noodles .Take care and all the best. 😊😊😊👍👍👍

[@lanamitchell6592]

Hi family freedom hope you are well and having a good day! Ooo dollar tree! Looks better than poundland in my opinion! I thought Katie was pointing to the leafs on the bowl😂I'm like there leafs?? Then I realised she meant the bowl!😂😂 Take care Just keep rising 💚🌻🌿

[@FamilyFreedom]

Hey Lana, thanks for your comment 😊 Yes, it could be better than Poundland, maybe we should do a comparison between the 2! 🤔 We hope you have a great day, just keep rising 💚🌻🌿

[@honorsilverthorne7227]

I don't know about in Florida, but in my state and most states in the US , we DO pay tax on foods, both take-out and in-store, &:every other type of product. Our rate is 8 cents on every dollar. A lot of states have 7 cents per dollar, 6 cents, 9 cents, etc, but if Florida doesn't tax it's foods, it's the first state I've heard of that does that.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Hey, thanks for your comment 😊 That's interesting to know about how it works with sales tax in the USA, as we really weren't sure how it worked prior to coming here, so we appreciate the information you've given 🙏 We can't say for sure how it is with Florida, except that for every food store we've been to so far like Walmart, Costco and Dollar Tree, there hasn't been a sales tax on the food purchases, so maybe something has changed in Florida recently 😊

[@electricheartpony]

I think it's like produce that isn't taxed.

[@louiseheald9480]

hi family freedom love your vlog to day at the dollar tree it look a amazing you get so much for your money well i look forward to seeing a weekly food shop at the dollar store that would be good well have a nice holiday and i love to see more great video from america

[@josephfong2003]

I’m from Singapore and our version of dollar tree is called “valu$” where most of the items are bought from other countries that has cheaper currency than Singapore and then sells them in their store the funny thing is that most of the products would be in an entirely different language you have to try to tell what it is by the logo and packaging hahah😂…but hey it’s still the same products ❤

[@luv.shri.x]

Yay another video to watch can’t wait to laugh loads lol love you lot so much. Just keep rising ❤️🫶

[@FamilyFreedom]

Yay! Thank you! 😃

[@hovis62]

I'd love to see the comparison between Dollar Tree & Poundland.

[@FamilyFreedom]

We hope to be able to do that! 😊

[@Meg0307]

The red, white, blue American decorations are for Memorial day, people put the bows on the graves of those who served in the military.

[@FamilyFreedom]

That's a lovely thing to do to commemorate their memory. Thanks for sharing 😊🙏🇺🇸

[@shannonatlanta29]

i knew you was in florida! it looks like you guys are having a fantastic time away! and katie you deserve to have that second mothers day, if my mother was still here i would spoil her rotten again💞live but not live from london

[@historybarf]

When I was growing up in the 60s, my mom would whip us with a hot wheels track. 😂

[@catherineclark2949]

Really enjoyed this, very similar to Poundland as the things are not a pound or not a dollar. Looking forward to your food haul from there. Hope you have brought a spare suitcase for things you are buying or is Bob going to leave his clothes behind lol xx

[@avacadman2155]

The trouble is when shopping abroad is wanting to bring it home, the extra luggage weight costs!

[@FamilyFreedom]

So true Ava! 😊

[@FrederickVanrijn]

Ooh...I don't get pens at the dollar store, spring for a brand name like Bic or Paper Mate...worth it.

[@CrazieFrogz]

Colander also called a "Strainer" here in USA. A lot of say Strainer ... Bowls is bowls..

[@JDoors]

Looks like you didn't get the "oven mitts" or "pot holders" (don't know what you'd call them) but if you do, you should run them through the washer/dryer first. Not because they're not clean, but because they need a bit of "fluffing up" before you use them. The dish rags they have work, but they aren't very absorbent (usually 100% synthetic). There are some great "Dollar Tree Dinner Ideas" channels on KZbin, one I like is (surprise) DollarTreeDinners. She's currently filming a series of charity meals she's making but search her videos for great meals using Dollar Tree only items.

[@kevinhayes1656]

Dollar tree really has extremely cheap stuff but you have to remember you also get what you pay for because they’re not gonna be worth that much. You’re better off going to Walmart or somewhere like that.

[@astidog]

Just remember that anything you leave behind that is not on the inventory (ie those rather nice mats) will just be thrown away- not kept for the next family

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thanks for the tip. Maybe we'll take them home or donate 👌💚

[@BethanySeanAZ]

Hello from Tucson Arizona USA. I’m new to ur vlog and I love ❤ it! I hope you celebrated American 🇺🇸 Mothers day ❤ Anyway.. I’ve always wanted to go vegetarian but it’s been hard budget wise, so watching your vlog has me inspired to do vegan /vegetarian for a while but on a budget. I was shocked to feel so full off of black beans 🫘 over meat 🥩

[@ClaireRader]

I think mothers should get as many Mothers Days as possible.

You should do a weekly food shop.
