Your grocery shopping is your version of 'alone time' which we all need...some more than others. Don't apologize.

[@amymhogan]

I looooove grocery shopping by myself. It’s so relaxing to me. I can completely zone out and just stroll up and down the aisles and see everything. Whenever I read stuff on mom IGs about “going to the store doesn’t count as alone time,” I’m like wtf ever. I was so excited the first time I got to go to the store by myself after my daughter was born. I even love taking her with me because she’s so chill. It’s like Mama’s relaxed so I’m relaxed. I also used to grocery shop with my maternal grandmother & great-grandmother as a kid so it’s like I’m continuing the tradition from the two women I loved the most growing up.

[@sandraskalnik387]

Grocery shopping is my hobby. I live in a small town and the grocery store is where you see all of your friends and acquaintances (of course you gotta go to Walmart too). I can spend an entire afternoon out and about between the grocery store and Walmart!!

[@CG-en1ts]

Not Jen bringing legendary Outkast song lyrics to her laundry room!!😂😂😂...love it!😍

[@adelamartinez4974]

I really like going to the grocery store.I like to see what is new.I am glad to see you use the paper towels to soak the grease up with.

[@kathleenkaufman6007]

Warm liquid Jell-O for sick kiddos. Great idea, never had it. Here's a different take on poke cake. Cake mix: Lemon Supreme, Jell-O flavor, lime, 'icing', 1 package lemon or vanilla instant pudding, 1 envelope Dream Whip, 1 1/2 C milk.

[@lorenet.2182]

My mom made us warm jello when we were sick. My husband and I enjoy grocery shopping together. I think it goes back to when we were first married and broke and it was a night out!!

[@Rollergirl601]

These are my favorite videos you do. FYI the deluxe American cheese is made with milk. No oil. So that’s the one we always buy and use for breakfast sandwiches. And I can’t wait to see your salsa verde chicken recipe. I make a honey lime salsa verde chicken in the crockpot. It’s so good for tacos, quesadillas, burritos, and burritos bowls. One of our faves!

[@stephrossbrown2792]

Love the new look in the dining room especially from the kitchen. Looks so nice and open. And I love the bookshelves where you put them, total win. Have to share… I’m on my third month of Invisalign and I really have you to thank for that extra motivation to just do it. Your smile is so pretty Jen! Oh and I bought a walking pad too thanks to you too, loving it.

[@jenniferpinkowsky1610]

Omg! Warm jello when your sick was definitely a grandma thing! Mine did that too!❤

[@lucyzoey5840]

Hi Jen! I'm just curious to know if you drink regular or decaf coffee at night? I only ask because I used to drink coffee late in the day and I found that it affected my anxiety and quality of sleep. I'm a coffee lover too, so I get it. No judgement here. Just wondering how you're able to sleep? You should try a nighttime tea instead, it works great for relaxation. 😊

[@staceylynch9751]

I also drank warm jello when sick. My mom said it was what the doctor recommended for stomach illnesses to help keep us hydrated.

[@staceydavis7721]

Yes!! I am 53 yo and my grandma made us warm jello too!! Honestly now I dint care for it cold and still drink it when I have a sore throat- I thought it was just my Grandma that did that ❤️❤️

[@stephaniejones2828]

we did this too😊

[@marcellareese8853]

Hey Jen, my grandmother did the same thing with the warm Jello when we were sick. I loved it, it was so soothing. I love your videos. Thank you.

[@cathyburns750]

Hi Jen! Hope you have safe trip! Thanks for sharing your busy weekend! It's always fun to watch your videos!

[@tennilleyoung8543]

Great video Jen! I love your weekend prep videos. I love boneless skinless chicken thighs too! They have so much flavour. 🥰

[@chasityjackson3427]

I remember drinking warm jello one time when I was sick as a kid. I'd forgotten all about that until you mentioned it.

[@carenharper3669]

We had the warm jello stuff growing up too! I'd forgotten all about that.

[@hannahkayee831]

The Mexican style Jack's pizza with shredded lettuce, taco sauce and sour cream after it comes out of the oven is *chefs kiss* I've been doing that since I was like 10 ❤😂 it's really still my favorite thing. & if you are me pick all the sausage off before cooking the pizza. I'm super picky about meat especially sausage.

[@janetdwyer1867]

Hi Jen hope your family has a great weekend the salmon looks good

[@_Life_Unfiltered]

Yes!! My grandma had us drink hot jello when we were sick too!!

[@cindykyle3551]

I loved your comment about grocery shopping. Grocery shopping is like an educational experience. As someone who also tries to eat better. Reading all the labels and seeing all there is to see takes time and thought. In the end, it's always the lines at the cash register that makes it lengthy for my area. That part has been hard. But I understand it's a struggle all over. Keeping some extra grace in my pocket for those days. 😉

[@philliphedges9972]

My mom introduced me to Jacks. Sometimes cheap is great!

[@maryhaller5093]

I drank warm jello when I was sick too. Very soothing!

[@michellewanner3921]

I’m still on the fence on chicken thighs but your sisters food looks great so I might try. My mom does a lemon poke cake with lime jello with a cool whip/lemon pudding/milk frosting. Yum.

[@philliphedges9972]

Jacks pizza with crished choli peppers is sooo good!

[@Notable2Nikki]

Kimberly Whisk prefers the chicken thighs. Might be worth a try!

[@hannahkayee831]

I love grocery shopping. Plus it's my one thing besides work (which I love my job, but no where near relaxing) that I do completely alone until my daughter calls me asking to buy her the Boba tea that they keep changing places in Hyvee where it's located so I have to spend time just looking for that so I just browse then forget it 😂 or have to ask employees where things are.

[@CoryciaStanley]

I got 4 boxes of those velvet hanger at Walmart last year for 4.00 a box! Huge score

[@anaelizabethramirez375]

Jen ,you rock, I really I don’t know how u do it, as a hard working single mama ….I am impressed ❤

[@elizabethb3769]

Same! I spend a ridiculous amount of time at the grocery store lol. I guess because when my kids were at home, that was my alone time lol.

[@debracoulter1250]

When I was younger, in the 70’s, I remember babies and toddlers drinking jello water in their bottles.

[@christymorrison3983]

I've been thinking about making the jello cake and now you helped me decide... ❤️

[@tina2.07]

Girl I am the same. I love shopping by myself. My husband will not go with me because I take too long

[@kellibrenneman3964]

I use a can of diet or zero sugar pop when I make my cakes sometimes and works just same!

[@barbarajohnson83]

Great video Jen. I would never buy anything that Samsung makes. I had a bad experience with a tv I bought, never again. I love GE Appliances, highly recommend them. Have a Happy Memorial Day weekend!❤️

[@kaseyvail3452]

Yes on the hot jello! My grandma always told me it would “coat my stomach” when we were nauseous! 😂

[@Jen-Chapin]

Omg so funny!!

[@jalenfowler804]

The grocery store is the only relaxing time I normally get and I absolutely love it. Lol.

[@Bekah_And_Will]

Heck yeah a jen video! Drinking my Starbucks, laying down and watching it. What can be better on a Friday evening? 🤟😌💜

[@HaleyHinman]

I love grocery shopping too, and I attribute it to having experienced some level of food security when I was a single mom. Feeling "rich" to me is never having to worry whether I can feed my family. I wonder if it goes back to your experiences as a kid.

[@pambrunet7923]

Always love watching your videos! Get so many different ideas and recipes. Could you tell me where you got your lunch meat container? Thanks!

[@Raisin9502]

I know you love rainbows and pride items. Is there is significant to that? Proud of any way. Love your hauls.

[@nevadahuvenaars]

I love grocery shopping too!! I literally look forward to it every week and I always browse to see if there’s new stuff or clearance deals mainly just to look hahaha

[@lisazale1158]

What!!! a papertowel to soak up the grease!!! Genius!!!

[@PinkFluteEli892]

We had jello cake growing up too! It was a Christmas thing, my mom did a red cake and a green cake and layered them. Cool whip between the layers and on top. So good.

[@alice_rabbit8345]

I find that when I use Walmart delivery I spend less. I also have 9 cats so it’s less lifting of food and litter since I have arthritis in my spine.

[@stephaniehearld4301]

My mom gave me hot jello when I was sick😊. I loved it. Never gave it to my kids.

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

YAY a new Jen video to make my FriYAY evening!!

[@treenaakers9429]

Great prep video. I need to do that

[@philliphedges9972]

Get Crest but dont get the kind thats colored blue or green and valveeta is awesome!

[@rosalielindley3583]

Drs used to recommend that jello mixture for my sick kids. Coated their belly he said

[@allthemays4237]

Love love love your videos!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@eileenhoffmann701]

Jen,you look amazing! Keep up the good work!

[@rosalielindley3583]

I hate my Samsung refrigerator! Ice machine never worked either. Hate it!

[@stephaniedeverell6672]

I had the hot mustard Doritos last night. They taste just like those hot mustard packs from Chinese restaurants. They were good but made my lips tingle. That cake looks good!

[@norcalrosesl.5199]

You’re always such an inspiration Jen- hope you have a great week and safe travels 🌸💕

[@chasityjackson3427]

My kids like to eat those garlic bread sticks dipped in marinara. Sometimes they'll have that as a meal. It's a quick lunch during the summer.

[@dionnebarragan4624]

Do you have any podcast or book recommendations?

[@pathoulf1415]

The pozole looks delicious 😋

[@jezzlynnnoparticularniche8019]

I have a fit app that tells you MPH you walk. Holy cow. I clocked in at 3 MPH. Who knew😂. Not gazelle speed but slowly getting up to speed😂😂😂

[@maryannwagner6192]

We like to drink warm jello when we don't feel good too. Lime is our favorite

[@kristenrpeters]

I also really love grocery shopping. We must be related or something. 😂

[@Raisin9502]

My grandma always made a lemon jello cake.

[@mtherfnprincess]

Chicken thighs are so good. We definitely do those more than breast. Grocery shopping can be relaxing, I think the stressful part is pricing. There are so many items I just don't get anymore because it's too expensive.

[@madelinechriston8970]

Hi Jen, Thanks 13:31 for your great videos, as always. Are we nuts 14:28 that grocery shopping is probably one of our favorite hobbies? I don't think people realize how relaxing it is, lol. I just spent 3 hours at Costco last night; part of which was wallowing around the housewares section and the freezer section. Just an idea though - I think it might be better to carry two twenties and a ten or all tens. Lots of places don't want to cash 50s because of counterfeit problems. ❤

[@rhondavigil795]

I still make hot jello if my kids or grandkids are sick. It really helps a sore throat.

[@dianebondhus9355]

You are one busy lady! 🏆

[@risasklutteredkitchen1293]

Nothing wrong with making your life easier and just make hot dogs for dinner I intend to do that on Monday for Memorial Day. I have to work that day 12-7 so I am putting hot dogs on my Ninja Woodfire Grill (loving this thing!) and I already have store-made macaroni salad for the family and I am going to make myself a low carb version of potato salad so I have something to eat with my hot dogs (and probably something crunchy like pork rinds OR plantain chips).

[@SJ-mp6cr]

Not me. But it sounds like your grandmother invented warm drinks with collagen!

[@julienegley7064]

Me too on the jello liquid when sick as a kid. Must be a Midwest thing.

[@DianaTx361]

Happy Memorial Weekend Jen I’m doing the same cleaning and cooking I’ll probably be up late tonight.

[@christenbuckler812]

I so get the grocery store thing! Unfortunately my trips also result in Mom self-guilt for taking so long. 😩

[@PaulaIsing-xw7ut]

What brand is your deli meat keeper. I need one. Thanks

[@risasklutteredkitchen1293]

I also love supermarket shopping. I work in one and still love it. I like trying to find the newer items. My hubby always drives me nuts about spending extra because I am there and I see things. I have had the macadamia cold brew and it is so good. I also think it is too sweet with the syrup. I thought I was the only one who asked for it without the syrup. I also ask for most of the drinks with only 1 pump instead of 2-4 pumps. All their drinks are too sweet. Why do you think they sell so many of the Frappuccino’s?? Sugar. I either buy cold brew black (and bring my own sugar free creamer) or one of their drinks without the syrup.

[@myebonytower]

Don't sleep on the Chicken Thighs! They're so good.....cook 'em in the Air Fryer, delish!!! Great video!! 😋

[@carlajordan9602]

I like these videos!

[@AprilLee1996]

My grandma made me warm jello for a sore throat! She said it coats your throat so it won't hurt!

[@christinam1765]

Hi, Jen! I placed an order with Marlow! Super excited to try their pillows! Thank you for the recommendation! Have a great weekend!

[@Ktd1013]

I would love to know if you have a recommendation for decaf coffee you enjoy?

[@Jen-Chapin]

I really like the nespresso decaf!

[@philliphedges9972]

You have a blessed house!

[@Jasmine-yo8ix]

Jen, Can you link your pans?

[@chelsjb1]

Yes! My gma did the same thing with jello, it coats your throat.❤🥰

[@lisalandry4879]

Not seeing any kind of code from your end in the pillows when clicking thru your link only the Memorial day sale percentage off🤷🏻‍♀️

[@philliphedges9972]

Thanks for sharing:)

[@greyhatdone]

You should let all the food run out in your house...when they complain you say "sorry was only in the store 2 minutes this week" 😂

[@missm-m]

My relaxing time is at the grocery store too haha no baby or toddler it's my me time lol

[@sharonsmart3984]

I got jello when I was sick too but it was the traditional way lol

[@philliphedges9972]

I literally just made pozole

[@LauraRodriguez-Peace]

Thanks, Jen! 💜

[@leighdegenhardt485]

What exactly is excessive?! Lol! My roommate does the same to me! I actually like going and looking around and yes, looking at the ingredients and calories! Ya never know what you'll find!!!

[@rayselby3487]

Sue here: you are such a good mom and hard worker. Just love your videos. (Psss ... you need new cookie sheets lol. Trying to photograph food in those old ones lol 😅.)

[@Brittany_J]

You must find the Hot Mustard Doritos! They taste just like the Hot Mustard from McDonalds.

[@lovingchange2761]

I ❤ ur videos

[@ravennotte78]

Keep two fifties instead of a 100

[@ashlinielson2578]

Hot jello is just you 😂
