Grocery Shopping For The First Time | Grocery Haul

[@coryhartcruz]

I get dairy or refrigerated items last just because I want them to stay in the fridge longer. It’s all a learning process you’re doing great!

[@creaturescorner1231]

Everyone shops different I shop how they just did I I work my away down if I’m food shopping if I’m shopping for food and other stuff like cat food or stuff like that I get that stuff first then work my way to the food

[@divahc1]

@Creatures Corner It's an air- conditioned store. How warm can the food possibly get?

[@dreamylifeoflacey]

I shop the same way that they did

[@zoebarakatt]

@@divahc1 as a personal shopper I can confirm if you get the cold stuff first (with a big list like theirs) it will not be as cold or frozen by the time of checkout or arriving home. That being said, the food is all still probably fine to eat. Just melted or defrosted. Cold first is okay for yourself but when shopping for other people it’s always cold last. It really does make a difference

[@divahc1]

@Zoe Levonyak How many people are you shopping for at one time?

[@christinekouba7942]

Hannah is going to be so ready when she moves out helping all her older siblings. Love the friendship you too have.

[@Its_bug_]

First grocery shops cost the most because you’re getting all the essentials as well as what you’ll be eating. Proud of you girl!

[@gingercollier7949]

Best thing I ever learned was to meal plan, then write a grocery list from it. Also have you purchased canisters, cooking utensils pots and pans, plates, silverware and all the kitchen stuff. You could do a video on shopping and putting the kitchen together.

[@kellyatwell3493]

Always check your experation dates on your dairy and bread and make sure they are the farthest out, so you know your stuff stays fresh longer.

[@miss_emoji1]

Great Advice 💯

[@tinahigginswoods5501]

Have fun. It's so exciting to shop for your 1st home. Just a little FYI, always get counter foods 1st and your cold and produce foods last. Congratulations on your new home

[@lynnettepakes4643]

Love your first grocery haul, I would also suggest a brief meal plan as well as a shopping list in future so you know what you are buying for to help save a little bit of money

[@Cjasper016]

You two are so funny together! I can see you and Hannah living together in a few years.

[@dreamylifeoflacey]

I can too! I was just thinking/imagining Hannah moving in with Arianna when she’s 18 xD

[@gloup4662]

Love a grocery haul as it’s so different from what we get here in the UK. Write a list next time, it’ll help.. Also, meal plan. Not like a set daily plan, but a list so you know what meals you CAN make, that way if you’re tired you don’t have to think/order in, just pick something from the list, you know you have the stuff in, and make it :)

[@yourwhathurts9669]

Girl I'm 27 and I still forget things at the store often lol. Definitely make a list. Also if you download the walmart app..put your store location in ...you can search an item you're looking for and it will tell you exactly what isle the item is in. LOVE that so I'm not walking around the store looking lost 😅 soo excited for your new chapter in life!💫

[@lizregan1949]

Or better yet order online and just do a pickup. That is what I do.

[@kristennelson2480]

If I have the time I just go down every aisle otherwise I’ll forget something even writing a list bc I forget things while writing a list 🥴

[@kristennelson2480]

Sour cream and onions with the cucumbers and vinegar is bomb

[@jacintacody133]

I'm always forgetting things at the grocery store! I'm 51 and I love your vlogs,I live in Ireland so I really love looking at the selection of food in America,sending love to you and Hannah,you two are beautiful both inside and out 💜

[@rachelscott5110]

I think you did a good job for your first shop to fill your cupboards. I look forward to watching you cook. I enjoyed hearing you refer to things you learned at home about shopping and preparing meals. All parents hope for that. 😉

[@karenneal1272]

I can't believe your out on your own all ready. Time goes by so fast. You will do great. You just stalked your house full of food, with no help from your parents, and you look like you got almost everything you need. You've grownup to be so independent, your a beautiful young women and your going to do great on your own. Kinda nice having Hannah around I bet. Enjoy your home, its comming along nicely. ❤💚🧡

[@kellyatwell3493]

Also freezer bags, separate your meat for single or duo meals so you know how much is on each bag and date the bag. That way you save some time and you don't have to worry about freezer burn

[@dawnbailey4455]

It's a great idea to separate your meat into individual serving sizes before you freeze it. Ground meats take up much less room, and defrost quicker, if you flatten it out before freezing. You did great for your firstshopping trip.

[@myabee8709]

Love that Hannah was there to help your sister would make an awesome roommate for you

[@ehurte65]

Ariana, you did good with your shopping spree. My mom would start at one end of the store, go down each isle, and that's how i shopped. I can't walk atound the stores now, so i online shop, at Walmart and Krogers. My problem is, I online shop, when I'm hungry. Oh wow Ariana. I just bought the small cucumbers in the bag, with the mindset of putting vinegar and seasoning salt. I use to do this as a young child, in the 70's/80's. I use to peel the cucumbers, slice them, put them in a baggie, put vinegar, and seasoning salt, let them marinate over night in the fridge. They were so good. We also use to put hot sauce in our cheeto bags, back then too. Long before Flamin Hot Cheetos came out. We didn't know, that 11 years later, someone would actually patten it.

[@Samantha.R-85]

To keep bagels etc fresh I freeze what I don’t plan to eat over a couple days then just pull them out the night before to defrost when I know when I will eat them. Same with bread. Also you might need ziplock bags, glad wrap, aluminium foil and baking paper. They are pantry basics too. 😃

[@eileenwirts8351]

I think you did great for your first time, and remember that you are just starting out and making a list is all ways a great idea it will get easier. Don't forget to get containers for your flower,and sugar. From grandma Eileen Milwaukee Wisconsin so proud of you 🤗😁🤗

[@amandacrisp0716]

Your grocery bill will probably be cheaper going forward because you got a bunch of spices and stuff that you probably wouldn't typically purchase each grocery haul. I know I thought that my first couple grocery hauls were crazy expensive but once I purchased all those "staple" grocery items my bill was much cheaper.

[@LovinElvis247]

I love extra pulp OJ too. You did a great job for your first grocery haul Ariana.

[@meowmeow-or6mm]

I cant wait for your *organizing stuff* vlog, decorating your room/dining/living room or house

[@kristenbrett8103]

This made me chuckle. Reminded me of how I shopped in college!

[@zeekdibble4361]

some suggestions: Meal plan because some items can be used in more than one recipe, buy aluminum foil and break down your meats into meal sizes and freeze each portion- write the date and label, food storage containers for your cereals and pasta, etc... and your 1st haul will be expensive because of your stock or basics like condiments and spices you will not buy each trip. Good Luck adulting, You Got This!

[@cherylgay7037]

I love grocery hauls. To save some, buy the store brands. They taste the same and cost less than brand name.

[@angellocke8473]

❤❤❤❤❤Thank you for sharing your video with us and have a Great Evening!

[@JaTon]

You did really well for getting your very first groceries for your new place!

[@katharinafesseler7819]

A kindly advise, I don’t know if you already did it or not. You should put the flower and sugar in containers with air proof lits so flys and spiders don’t lay their eggs in them. Love your videos, love for Germany ❤

[@sallysmith155]

Love the video thankyou for sharing it.😊

[@debbiestripling4896]

Do your cold stuff last that way they stay cold longer. Y’all are so cute and fun to watch.❤️

[@jenndac2]

Ariana thank you for sharing this video as you go Grocery Shopping for the first time and your little sister Hannah is helping her older sister when Hannah is older and moving out and helping all her older brothers and sisters love watching it you all have a wonderful evening

[@lelanoel3499]

Also, those were large bags of cheese for one person to eat before it molds, but just in case you didnt know, cheese freezes real well and also thaws real fast when you need it.

[@alyssakostiew5072]

You did a great job grocery shopping!😊

[@LawCorazon]

Hey, for carrying in groceries I once saw a good tip of just bringing a plastic bucket or basket in the car and loading all bags in it :)

[@kamronrhodes5151]

You are doing a great job Ariana

[@kennethmontoya7111]

Agree!!!!

[@merrilday4321]

Good idea everyone suggesting to write a list and do a meal plan before going shopping. Also get a white board so you can add what you need to it and write a list before going shopping. You can do the list on your phone. Did you get containers to put you flour and sugar in?

[@Zimhart22]

Being on your own, never feel like you have to get everything at 1 shot. when you think of something you could use or you would like or you need, jot it down and put it on your fridge and then when you're out you can get it. This helped me a lot with not being so stressed and being able to save money

[@jessicaosborne1842]

Dear beautiful girl you need to do cold refrigerator and frozen stuff last . I am loving your videos now almost as much as your momma's. You are killing it .

[@TheCujo1956]

The key is a grocery list. It makes a world of difference and helps you to stick to a budget

[@staceyhazlett4140]

Always make a grocery list before you go to the store. I go through everything in my cabinets and fridge before I go. This way yoy will get everything u need and not forget

[@kariwebb5523]

I get all my cold items last. Loved the grocery haul.

[@lyndarowe7191]

Hannah's like ,"do you have pots?"😀

[@gloriamanning6787]

Looks like you are off to a great start. You can always make a list for items that you forgot. Good luck have fun. ❤

[@cindy8031]

I'm proud of you 👏.u remind me of my daughter she just moved out on her own

[@caromccarthy1901]

Since you’re on your own you probably don’t need the family sized packages of items! Save your money girl lol. They also make half gallons of milk if a gallon is too much before it expires. I also suggest making sure you look at expiration dates on everything before you purchase!

[@SajR5520]

I recommend taking the meat out of the packaging and put in a freezer gallon bag and write the dates on the outside. Then freeze it. When you live by yourself it’ll take you awhile so to keep it good. Or do this with other freezable foods

[@MizSazz]

Right idea starting at one end and working to the other For me I start shopping for the big items first that will take up a lot of room in the trolley and do dairy and frozen last as that way they are not out of the freezer/fridge for too long!

[@deannafoster8104]

Always get dairy and freezer foods last just an fyi for future grocery shopping trips! This is so they stay cold and don’t melt

[@Lanaxparillaxwife]

Seeing the fruit loops & now I want cereal 😩 those are the best kind of frozen pizza

[@michellekobiska9451]

One other great tips to is never go shopping hungry and always get your cold food last and if you can get a cooler bag so you can put your cold food items in them at the store after you pay for them but the night before put them in the freezer so when you go to the store there nice and cold and will keep your cold food colder longer since how you live in Arizona best of luck to you on your new place

[@maddyg8575]

If you want to save money, you can get frozen juice concentrate and all you have to do is add water and put it in jts own bin! Love your videos!

[@lisapickett116]

definitely get refrigerated items last next time! so it stays cold til you get home!! ❤❤❤

[@debbierudolph9489]

Don't forget some eggs, baking powder and yeast if you want to do some baking. Some measuring spoons and cups will also help. Baking from scratch is so rewarding, I never buy any baked goods and they taste much better than bought goods 😉😁

[@cassie6349]

One of those foldable carts might be good to get to bring your groceries all in at once.

[@joanlenhard82]

I loved your grocery Haul and thinkyou did very good and if you are careful can last you 2 weeks. Good Luck

[@vidream]

Put your cilantro in a little glass of water in the refrigerator and it will stay fresh longer.

[@gymnastgirl2984]

Lol griot loops and Apple Jacks I love

[@lisapickett116]

You did really good for getting the essentials for your first time, with the food and drinks .. down to condiments and seasonings!

[@sghost6652]

Your first shop is always the most expensive. My advice is always write a list and never go food shopping when hungry, meal list for the week can help save money as then all you buy is what you need. X

[@carolbrunner8938]

WoW, so many family size packages. Freeze some

[@Patty-jw9ym]

Always buy the cold items and then frozen items last. You won't want anything to melt so try to have a cooler in your car.

[@georgeodonnell3287]

Extra crunchy is the best with marshmallow. I'm so proud of you young lady for getting your own place. Wish you all the best

[@suzannelynch3706]

Tortia’s and bagels freeze well because your on your own you can just get a couple at a time and defrost it saves them going off. Never go shopping hungry lol you always buy more than you need. Leave the snack and lollie isle till last so you dont over do the cravings 😂 and as others have suggested think ahead on what you’d like to cook so you know what ingredients you’ll need. Oh and your meat if you want to you can separate into serves in freezer bags and then freeze so one packet will last you several meals :-)

[@cassieob9760]

Ari you forgot any kind of meats even lunch meat. You also forgot pasta, noodles and side dishes. Lol I'm glad to see that you did think of veggies though. Lists help tremendously.

[@oilinmylamp]

*Another Suggestion: don't put one type of meat on top of another, it can cross contaminate. I use the bags for meat provided at the store to keep the meat separated. I hope you know what bags I'm speaking of, like produce bags in a roll but for meat.*

[@lindaholt5462]

Always start with a shopping list. Think about your meals and what you want to eat and what you need to make it. Then you end up buying those things as you need them 👍 can make it less overwhelming and more organized.

[@lindavintisa7323]

Oh, sour cream is not discussing.. try to make dipp for chips! 50/50 sour cream and mayonnaise, add chapped garlic , green onions, dills (or other greens you love), bit salt - you will love this!

[@kellyatwell3493]

Lol containers for your flour, sugar, cereal and stuff. You don't want bugs getting in them.

[@oilinmylamp]

Suggestion: plan your meals to know what you need before you go. Always plan so you don't get a bunch of odds and ends.

[@angelasobmer7026]

What happens to the 🕷 🕸 🕷! Goos job on your first time grocery shopping enjoy your pasta 💝💝

[@gingerschatshow]

You are doing good ! What I do is I have a Tovla smart oven with a meal kits. It has cut my gro bill way down and also not gett so much processed food either. :D

[@stephanieboncuk5201]

Yes make a list. Write down your meals that way you won’t forget ingredients and your cleaning supplies

[@shortylane5035]

One tip I have found if you buy your chicken and other meats in bulk break them up into one person portion size then you don’t waste any.

[@hanadonmall255]

You get the cold stuff and fresh things last and then the box things first

[@nadineduncan2678]

Well done I know u said it was expensive but u have things u want need to get again for a while so u will work this out it’s all fun an games to start with

[@sueyoder6707]

Best to make a list. Check for coupons . Also there are great rebate apps to use to help save money.

[@debbieloiacono8976]

Just an FYI…….My favorite meal as a child growing up was tomato soup and grilled peanut butter (not cheese) sandwiches. To this day whenever I make them, I feel like a kid again! Try it - I think you’ll be hooked!

[@beckym5730]

If you have the time , get some storage containers , and make prep meal, that you like. Spaghetti, Get a big thing of hamburger meat cook up make taco meat put it container in amount you it in one meal. You can do it in quart size freezer bags as well. Think of meal you like to eat, will eat each day for a week. Pick a day to do hey video on meal prep for the week.

[@jenniferolton1230]

Your first grocery haul is always the most expensive. Your stocking your pantry with all the essentials. It will get easier on the wallet.

[@nataliemullins5882]

Just a tip for the cards at Walmart. If it isn’t accepting your card with the chip you insert the chip 3 times and then slide it. Usually works. I work at Walmart and a lot of cards have issues with our system.

[@kristenharris524]

I would get the cold and frozen stuff last. Also I'm a high pulp girl myself. My chase card gives me a problem checking out too so what you do is don't put your pin and just put the green enter button...trick I learned...

[@elizabethlarson7667]

I love Captain crunch is my favorite thing to eat

[@kacyulery9403]

Canned chicken, mozzarella, ranch & hot sauce in tiny crockpot. Easy hot chicken dip!!! Eat with tortillas chips or by itself lol

[@Maggiebird72]

Me and Hannah was kinda correct (Hannah and me), a good way to remember which way to say it is to take the name of the other person out of the sentence "I'm cooking dinner for me".. Wouldn't say I'm cooking dinner for I, a lot of people like to use the "I" all the time because it sounds fancy but not always correct.. Another easy way to remember which to use is if it's at the beginning of the sentence it's usually "I" and at the end of the sentence "me"..

[@FuzzyB92]

You should get pasta and rice bags in a big size rather than the small ones as they last for a while in the cupboard and probably cheaper same with the cooking oil. Also with spices if it's available you should get the bigger packets and just transfer them into some nice containers / jars and it'll be more worth your money and will last a long time

[@ginaward6370]

I love shopping different

[@SRHS83]

My son works at Walmart here in Utah and he was just telling me yesterday that Walmart has problems with Chase cards. Glad I have Visa.

[@katiemauzy3508]

Please do some easy recipes/snack ideas! You mention some and they always sound good!

[@terynb4407]

I usually shop by what ingredients I need for dishes I want to cook. But 291 isn't bad especially when you're getting household staples for the first time

[@theconnectionqueen]

Congratulations on your new chapter in your own house Ari!!! You are so cute at "adulting"!!! I wish I could upload a picture of this recipe card my mom typed on her manual typewriter, probably over 60 years ago! My mom and her brother, my Uncle Dick, were separated in foster care in the 1930s!! Someday, I'd like to create a Rita's Closet like the Helen's Closet you have in AZ.💖🙏 Try my mom's recipe for Banana Nut Bread! You will ❤️ it!!! Maybe you could make a video of you making it! 🤩 Mix together: 3/4 Cup Sugar 1 egg 1/2 Cup milk 3/4 Cup chopped walnuts 1 Cup mashed very ripe banana Mix in well: 3 Cup Bisquick Bake in greased pan 45 - 50 min at 350° Hope you ❤️ it!!!

[@beckym5730]

Tip always do dairy and frozen foods, meats last as they stay colder longer

[@OhTheHunnyz]

Ariana to avoid spiders in your home , get peppermint oil essentials oil. Spiders don’t like peppermints. It won’t kill them, but they don’t go near.

[@caropapa]

Meat and dairy section last always. You also need to portion your meat, it is not good to thaw meat out and then re freeze after you have taken your portion, when you have put your portion`s into freezer bags, on front of the bag name the food item and date you put in freezer, believe me you will be happy you did so.

[@traciek3946]

Wow that's alot of money but great job , and a lot of it will last forever, I do a list and still forget stuff lol Great job girls Love you guys HERVEY BAY QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA

[@jasonlim7878]

Looks like a good shopping trip

[@blessed1940]

Always buy I can't believe it's butter because some of the butter is more water than butter. Brown sugar unless you want to bake with the white sugar.

[@leahmahar9181]

Good job on your first grocery shopping

[@amandajames7065]

That’s soo nice of you to think of Hannah I think Hannah should move in since she’s going to be over there all the time it be good for you two I would be scared to live alone in a house by my self I’m proud of you arianna

[@PattyJonas]

Your cucumbers sounds like Austrian Cucumber salad we make at Christmas every year.

[@tamaraloving4001]

Hint. The first shop in New house is always expensive 😫 after the first one and u get the pantry stables it gets a little cheaper . But love ur haul. And congrats

[@bh9844]

u forgot brown sugar, shortening and butter sticks for baking.
