Me: can't ever be bothered to do a weeks worth of shopping and has no kids lol

[@Jamila_Aisha]

Same.

[@TexasbyStorm]

Quite honestly it is easier to not buy so much in advance if you don't have to. When I didn't have kids we were more spontaneous and had last minute plans that included dinner out. If we'd bought weekly groceries too much of it would have gone bad and been wasted. Once you have kids, budgeting and preplanning helps you keep your sanity.

[@skynyrdgirl644]

I love that you refer to the Worcestershire sauce as “this stuff.” My youngest son can’t pronounce it and we jokingly refer to it as the “what’s this here sauce.”

You should do "hauls" for your other budgets. You have mentioned school and household. What do you have for clothing budget? How do you go about that? I have 1 child and can barely keep up with her growth spurts.

Ally Oop She did do a video on clothing. To keep laundry down they only have a handful of outfits.

[@allyoop3971]

@@LynneWright yes, but clothing a family of 12 is difficult. That's what I was wondering. What is the budget and is there an order as to who get new clothes first or is it as needed. Not laundry and amount of outfits.

[@pamhall8499]

Can’t wait for you to have your baby. Love watching the kids with a new baby. It is so cute. ❤️love to you all.

[@Bex-rg8pj]

Sarah I just love watching your videos. I just love shopping Aldis. I’m very fortunate to have one on the edge of the city just a mile or two from our subdivision. We are empty nesters now, and it has been really difficult for me to learn how to cook for two. I keep my pantry stocked ( probably over stocked) but my mom was one of ten and I am one of five and feel very vulnerable if everything isn’t full. I was going to send you a message regarding a red enameld pan that Aldis caries every 3 or 4 months. It was on sale last week. Several of the cooking vlogs have them and used them for years. Only cost $29.99 which is really a good price. I rarely make comments because I know it increases your work load but just wanted to let you know as a mom with no grandchildren how much I enjoy your family! I check every morning to see if baby ten has arrived. Much love to you all and thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life❤️

[@OurTribeofMany]

Rebecca Stanley thanks for the tip! ❤️

[@niknak5619]

I am an empty nester too! Cooking for just two has been so difficult. My freezer is full of many meals. I love Sarah.Solo and family. My youngest is in boot camp and I miss him so much and seeing all the kids makes me smile.

Hi Sara! Thank you for sharing ❤️ Looking great and can't wait to meet baby boy ☺️ God bless 🙏 praying for baby to turn.

[@vanessazahel7554]

In popcorn you could shake in parmesan if you have it or garlic powder. Or throw in M & M's, nuts, any kind of chocolate, butterscotch, or whatever baking chips you get; put some in a bowl and cover individual servings with caramel or chocolate syrup. Or, just butter, salt, and pepper! So excited to meet the new member! Be blessed! Praying for a great labor and delivery!

[@mizztorian8844]

To extend the alfredo sauce, add a little milk or heavy cream, extra parmesan cheese and a little extra garlic. Another quick meal you could try and the kids would have no issue making it is ham, green beans and potatoes. Cut up the ham and potatoes and put in pot with green beans and enough water to cover everything. Add salt to pot. You can also add chopped onion. Once potatoes are tender, it is read to serve. I add just a small bit of butter on mine when I serve. The left over juice is good for soup beans. I usually serve with fresh biscuits, but the flat bread Solo's mother makes or homemade bread would be great too. It can be done either on the stove top or in a crockpot. Get some rest. God bless.❤

[@steffanikerr]

I love all your videos! We are a homeschooling family of 6 kids ages 10 & under. You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for these grocery hall videos - keep them coming! I’m praying for a smooth delivery & healthy baby/mama.

Favorite popcorn (for savory lovers): Olive oil, garlic salt, nutritional yeast, paprika, dill. Sometimes I'll add butter and some parmesan if I'm feeling indulgent.

Sarah you definitely are a inspiration to me. I have my two grandsons that live with me. 3 & 5. Plus my adult son & daughter. So there are five of us and shopping once a month has saved so much money ( no impulse buying for me.). And a lot of time not going back and forth to the store. Love Walmart pick up. Place my order the night before and pick it up after I drop the boys at school. I grew up eating the same thing for lunch most of the time. My mom also did the same dinners Monday thru Saturday. Sunday was always a huge meal early in the day. I brought my children up this way. Except for the lunches they just had to have at school. In the cafeteria. Pizza days and taco days. Keeping you and your family in my prayers. Excited to meet baby boy!
