GROCERY HAUL | COMMISSARY IN JAPAN | FAMILY OF 7

[@jhullender3046]

Thanks for sharing! I got a few ideas from this and saw several brands/items that my family enjoys. So glad that they have such great options for you there!

[@CalledtoCultivate]

That’s great! Yes, I’m super thankful. 🤗

We’re a gf family of 7 in Arizona and I spend $300-$400 a week. I try to do mostly organic produce and grass fed/ pasture raised meats and eggs.

[@CalledtoCultivate]

Same! I miss not having grass fed meet here, but I haven’t been to Costco yet so maybe they’ll have some. 😉 I’m thankful for what we do have access to.

It's always nice to see gluten free and dairy free grocery hauls.

I was glad to see they commissary offers a decent selection of gf/df items! 🤗👏🏻

Really interesting content. 👍 I hope your husband is liking his new assignment. I have great admiration for all military families.

[@CalledtoCultivate]

Thanks so much! So far he’s enjoying getting to know the people he’ll be working with. Having great coworkers makes any job much better!

[@ashleydaugherty7710]

I was guessing around $300! I love you can get well know brands still. We have tried a lot gluten free pancakes our favorite brand is Kodiak. I'd say Bob's Mill comes in 2nd. Many blessings to your family and you! ❤

[@CalledtoCultivate]

Thanks Ashley! I’ll have to see if we can have the Kodiak mix sent to us from the states. 😉 Vitacost has a nice selection of food items and they ship to APO/FPO addresses! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Loved the haul. How is everyone settling in?

[@CalledtoCultivate]

We’re doing pretty well. We’re enjoying getting to know both of our neighbors. One of them has four kids right around our kids ages! My two oldest started swimming lessons, which they are loving. We’re back into a school routine, which helps give our days some needed structure. Overall I think we’re doing well for where we’re at in this process. 🤗👏🏻

@@CalledtoCultivate That's great to hear. A good start! I wish you all the very best of happiness and good fortune🌞

[@CalledtoCultivate]

Thanks so much! 🥰

Is the commissary as big as a regular market? My son is GF/CF and loves, loves only the Bob Mills pancake mix. He is 18 and a picky eater.

[@CalledtoCultivate]

It’s fairly similar to a regular grocery store. Maybe more like a country store. It has some options, but not as wide of a selection as a chain grocery store like Publix or even Walmart. Bob’s Red Mill makes some great products that we really enjoy as well. 🤗

I am surprised that you paid in USD but not Japanese yen.

[@CalledtoCultivate]

Most of the places on base you can pay in dollars. But off base it’s yen. 😉
