HUGE Monthly Grocery HAUL For Our LARGE FAMILY! SHOP WITH ME!

[@marbledillon]

Masks are now mandatory in California. I don't like wearing one also - sometimes I feel like I'm going to pass out especially when it feels stuffy. But look there is a lot of things in life we don't like doing but we have to. I told myself if doctors and nurses can wear one throughout their shift then I can do the same too...out of respect for them.

[@xxviciousbeautyxx]

Yup many people have a hard time breathing in them and obviously dont enjoy it but it's to help protect others around you. My mom has a hard time breathing in it but wears one all day at work and everywhere store she goes in to.

[@marbledillon]

@@xxviciousbeautyxx yep. I was in Costco and one area of the store was extremely stuffy (ac was weak) and I though I was going to pass out with the mask on. I really give so much love and appreciation to doctors and nurses who wear them.

[@ellagracebarham1972]

Yea same!

[@adrianahernandez6932]

And is not until you have a family member sick with COVID, when you start realizing that wearing a mask and having any sort of prevention is necessary. But to each their own. I hope you stay safe.

[@MelanieBrinegar]

I have bad anxiety and can't breathe when I wear a mask, but I still have to wear it in Illinois. I legit had mutlple panic attacks well wearing it.

[@tamikas9425]

I understand the anxiety about the mask but maybe just send him with a list and you stay home or sit in the car while he goes in. Even if you don't go down an isle that no one is on if someone with the virus was just down that one and sneezed coughed and weren't wearing one and now you aren't either then it is still in the air and you will pick it up.

[@lo4349]

agreed.. we have to wear them for 12hrs straight at work (aside from when eating).. I have severe anxiety but have to do it because I cant afford to lose the job, she should learn to wear the mask like the rest of us have

[@lo4349]

@Floor Gang the masks do both.. they protect you, but they also do an even better job of protecting others, maybe dont be selfish and wear a mask to decrease the spread

[@davimusic2349]

How can I have Gabriella you are getting ready to lose your kid the cops are coming to get her and take her away

[@davimusic2349]

Easter why wouldn't you take him to the doctor

[@laceystitt9066]

Floor Gang they are more effective at not spreading it than preventing you from getting it but it does help prevent you from getting it too. And if you have it but are not symptomatic yet and walking around the grocery store talking like they are you can spread it

[@Beauty16PHS]

I respect and love you all so much I’ve watched for almost a year now but it’s kinda frustrating you saying anxiety is why you can’t wear a mask. Like your anxiety shouldn’t risk your kids health or the health of others .....

[@suzanneford2434]

If masks work, then why are you so worried if you have one but I don’t?

[@emilye793]

just saying like with the pizza crust that you shouldn’t be touching things if you’re not gonna buy it. not smart during the pandemic

[@kyliespiroff3090]

Tator-tot casserole....1lb of meat (you choice, I use ground beef or turkey) cream of mushroom soup, cheese. I also add a veggie. Brown meat. Drain it and put it in a casserole pan, add soup and veggies. Sprinkle little bit of cheese over the top. Then add Tator tots ( line them up...in rows or how ever) them cover in cheese and bake. 350 until cheeses are melted. Basically you can switch up all the ingredients. Bacon is really good sprinkled thru out or just on top. Blessed Be.

[@kaitlyndeahl9173]

My go to tator tot casserole recipe: 1lb of ground beef (or your meat of choice) 1 can of cream of celery 1 can of cream of cheddar cheese soup Cook the beef. Then in a casserole mix the meat, cream of celery, cream of cheddar cheese, at tator tots on top. Cook at reccomened tator tot temp. It's done when the tator tots are done. I like to add corn at the end as a side. Super yummy! 😋

[@heavenhuffman1572]

Tater tot casserole: cook 1lb of ground beef and cut 1 onion and cook with meat. When meat is done put it in a pan with 2 big cans of cream of mushroom and the put tater tots on top in a layer then bake until tater tots are brown/golden the add cheese and put back in oven until golden brown

[@lovelyangela77]

I suffer from anxiety as well but I rather have anxiety and wear a mask then not wear one and catch Covid. As much as your channel has talked about Covid and staying at home if you can't wear a mask I'd stay home.

[@bichtcrazy3100]

Omg this family is really 👑 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👑👑👑

[@aishalorenzen1299]

its tator tot hotdish: tator totsa cream of mushrrom, and cream of chicken, green beans, corn, ground beef. cook ground beef then combine all things together. add the tator tota seperatley though on top in a cassarole dish. cheese on top is optional.

[@michael45246]

You should still where a mask to protect others

[@Tallulah-belle1980]

In New Zealand there is no Covid now other than a few cases in isolation from returning flights. Everything is normal, shopping, restaurants, functions etc no masks or distancing. Only thing different is no overseas travel.

[@wilmasantos3255]

I live in NY, and my local supermarkets stopped having sales. Everything is full price and super expensive. As far as wearing a mask, I too get anxiety from wearing one, so I switched to just using a bandana when I go into stores. The bottom is loose, so I'm still able to get some air.

[@brittanyevans1388]

Same for Wasington like everything thing is over priced

[@christinetanner8317]

Ridiculous high prices on groceries in Iowa. Some of the stores shelves are empty too. Some items are limited to 1 or 2 per shopper. I am a single senior - your frozen selections gave me some great ideas for meals. Huge thanks !!!

[@arieknight1370]

Tator tot casserole is easy, hamburger and onions fried, garlic, pepper, mushroom soup, then add frozen veggies, put in pan top with with tatter tots you can add cheese if you want

[@arieknight1370]

Bake for 30-40 minutes on 350

[@acrobatslimer8878]

Not sure if you have ever made Sheppard's pie! Ground beef with a bit of a gravy/or sauce then add a vegetable (most times it is corn but I have used any vegetable...mainly frozen) then mashed potatoes on top and in the last 10 mins of cooking I sometimes will add grated cheese! I haven't made this with tator tots before but I'm sure it would work just fine! So this might be something that I make for my family later this week!

[@ughchristina]

It’s mandatory to wear a mask in California. If you get anxiety maybe you should send someone else to the store instead of putting not only yourself but your family at risk. But you know, you do you. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@noorzaman1755]

exactly!

[@b_c1231]

Love you guys!! Stay safe💗

For our family, a family of 4, we normally spend $150 on groceries. Since COVID-19 our grocery bill has been $350

[@CassidyMayRolfeYates]

I live in the UK and to be honest prices have gone up and it was difficult before the pandemic to be able to buy the food I can have as 90% of foods I can't have as my body can't cope with it. Now its even more difficult to actually find shops where they have the things in stock. And then prices for most of the things I can have has gone up nearly 3 times what it was in January and February so I completely know how it feels!

[@jacquikostige4001]

Tater tot casserole. 2 pds hamburger meat (cooked) 2 cans French style green beans 2 cans cream of chicken soup Mix above all together. Place in baking dish. Put tater tot over meat mixture. Cover tater tots with cheese. Place in a 350* oven for 40 minutes.

[@roguespartan1194]

I work in a grocery store in the northeast, and our prices have definitely gone up. Our shipments have been hit hard since the pandemic started(they have gotten better as the months have gone by) , and the costs to get stuff ordered have gone up.

[@sarapittman5725]

It doesn’t matter if you aren’t around people. You need to wear a mask to stop the spread. Stay home and get groceries delivered if your anxiety is that bad.

[@savannahlee3500]

We make tater tot casserole like this: Layer of tater tots in a pan 1lb ground beef mixed with cream of mushroom soup Shredded cheese on top Pop it in the oven till the cheese melts & done. SUPER simple & my kids love it

Directions In a small skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in soup and milk. Transfer to a shallow 1-qt. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Top with Tater Tots. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

You are just like touching stuff when you are not even going to buy it also don’t go in a store if you are not going to where a mask it doesn’t even matter if you stay far away because even if you where a mask you still need to stay away and I saw in one part of your video you were like super close to a older guy if he would catch it from you guys because you are not wearing a mask you would be the one to blame because when you where a mask it saves lives clearly you guys don’t care

Then put tater tots on top and cook it as long as the bag says for the tots. I also have a salad with it

[@jolientjhe1]

here in belgium, when the lockdown started in march people would stack so much toiletpaper and soap that shelves were empty and the gouvernement decided that sales would be forbidden. so yeah all of a sudden, grocery shopping became very expensive. at the moment lockdown is kind of over here and stores are back allowed to do sales tho so it's became a little less expensive rn

Hey Melissa! Love watching you guys!!! I am from Georgia. I was shocked on meat here. Our Walmart is selling 1 pound rolls of ground Chuck for $6.98. Shelfs remain empty here. We are a single income family due to my son's health and the cost of good has definitely become an issue.

But that included quality butcher meat (never cheap), laundry products, baby formula, fresh fruit/veggies, and a few reusable containers that were on special. Enough basics to last us a month though.

I am in Ontario, Canada and definitely very few sales. Maybe on a couple dairy items but that is the most I have seen. Also tater tot casserole idea. Tater tots, cheddar cheese soup, very finely chopped peppers (all colours + if you like spice Jalapeño), finely chopped onions and your choice of cheese on top (I like a sharp or old cheddar). It is delicious.

[@rebeccaward9365]

I’m sorry that masks give you anxiety but you’ll have more anxiety if you get sick, I mean it’s the law now in California, but if you can’t handle a mask in public then you shouldn’t be out, you have so many options. Nurses and doctors with asthma wear them for up 12 hour shifts. I wear glasses and they get all fogged up and I have claustrophobia and anxiety, but if I get Covid it’ll be worse than all of those things combined. You were so worried about a bump in your husbands foot cause you have kids but a deadly virus is going around where a mask reduces your risk by about 90% and you can’t do that for a short time? If you have to just let your husband continue shopping and you step outside for a few minutes to pull off your mask and breath until you calm down. Whats the reason he’s not wearing one? It’s just negligence to your family and the community when you don’t do your best to mitigate the risks.
