Huge Shopping Haul From Farmfoods

[@Simon-qn5wm]

I freeze left over baked beans, usually get 3 portions out if a large tin.

[@sheilanorthwood547]

Oh my, this grocery haul would cost us about 300$ Canadian! The U.S. will begin to put 25% tarrifs on Canada tomorrow. We are in a crisis.

[@Anita-j2w7]

Thank you for sharing with us Karen. You do not need to justify what you buy to us the viewers….buy what you want and enjoy. 😊 you are doing great. we all buy quick cooking food to eat after work so don’t worry 😊

[@MrLittleimp]

It’s always handy having easy meals on hand for when you can’t be bothered

Happy Beautiful Sunday everyone🩷🩷🩷✨🫖☕🫴

[@janelockwood347]

Always love to see your hauls! Xx

[@frugalitystartsathome4889]

Oh bless you…It’s really not as though you HAVE to buy all that, purely in order to save a couple of pounds, hun. Just imagine if you only bought one bag of chips instead of three - now you’ll have to eat them all and you know full well they’re full of crap and bad for you, but you apparently saved by buying that amount…only you didn’t, did you, because you then had to spend more money than you needed to, in order to “save”? And even you pointed out that you’ve been attempting to eat less of this stuff, so why buy so much of it? It’s a trap I used to fall into myself so please don’t think I’m purely having a go, I’m merely pointing out the obvious…which isn’t always as obvious as it may seem! But equally, as someone has already suggested - it’s your money your choice, and you don’t have to excuse yourself to anyone for that.

[@olivebobo6885]

It’s a false economy, you dint give bad food to someone as a reward for working hard.

[@yellowbird5411]

I think because Karen is back to work full time, she is falling back into some habits she knows are not healthy, but they are fast meals she doesn't have to think about. Many people do the same thing, but fast meals don't have to necessarily translate to ultra processed meals. We here in the U.S. have a particularly chemical/grease/GMO/toxic load of rubbish that is called processed food. In the UK, if you look at the ingredients for a comparable processed food, you will see that they have very much less, if at all, the toxic ingredients we do. They don't allow it over there. If you look up one of their brand name foods that is processed, then one of ours, you can see the huge difference. So while none of it is healthy, especially the super heated deep fried stuff, we can maybe breathe a bit easier knowing that.

Hi Karen! Thats a huge shop! Makes me tired just looking at how much you had to haul! I live in a camper so my freezer space is quite small. I'd get more frozen goods if I had the space. Great deal on the tp! That's a lot of food! 👏😊 Time for tea! ☕

[@theclumsyprepper]

What she bought is not food, it's poison.

[@sandrascales2939]

Love seeing your hauls Karen, we get those same packs of toilet rolls in Grimsby Farmfoods. 5 for £20 xxx

[@Knit333]

Everytime I see "farmfoods" in the title of a video, I have this picture in my head of a shop of quality fresh food. And I am happy for you, for eating more healthy. But this is just ultra processed stuff. You can do better Karen.

[@heatherwatson9564]

I thought when you said thats for Kat coming in,you were feeding your cat that fancy frozen meal haha Then i realised which cat or Kat!!

[@Oldhip1912]

Gastro chips…. Does that mean they cause the runs after you eat them? Gastroenteritis. Mmmm… food for thought!

[@JD-rn2yv]

I understand the food shop, sometimes you are so tired coming in from work and quick and easy is about all you can cope with, just add some veggies and call it good enough on those days 🙂.

[@May-su8xv]

Interesting haul. Some of the things you buy can be purchased in Texas but some not available

[@gailmiler2797]

There are only so many hours in the day so convenience foods are sometimes necessary, unless you want to sacrifice sleep time so you can make meals from scratch!

[@Jchathe]

Can you get mini kettles or travel kettles with a lead that fits in the car? Just thinking that would be a life saver (for me, at least) to have a canister of water and some dried packets like soup or pot noodles or whatever. (I’m in Germany).

[@Greenmanure62]

A flask of hot water will do the job. 😊

[@JohnMcgrath-l4p]

That kingsmill bread £1.75 at local spar shop same item HELLO

[@1Strawbz1]

good jawb karen! yeah the gastro chips are nice! however you might want to drain the excess fat as they end up swimming in it everytime. I much prefer the meatiness of haddock vs cod which is underwhelming

[@Greenmanure62]

Don't apologise, do what's right for you and yours. It's good to have standbys.😊 Everything is so darned expensive. I shop every 2 weeks and my bill has gone up despite buying mostly the same stuff!

[@cheds1]

You buy what you want hen. If you’re happy that’s all that counts.

[@alanreader4815]

Bed lol it's only 4pm lol

[@tonette6592]

Good haul. You do you. We all have different tastes and needs. I love seeing what you have that we don't where I am.

[@AnneManley]

Great haul and really good prices, Karen! Chips with beef drippings! Oh, my goodness, why don't we have them here? I'd buy those for sure (and I'm not a big fries eater). Great price on bathroom tissue, as well! You don't have to explain or apologize for what you buy. You did super well! I really enjoyed this video!

[@boudiccalioness2708]

Check mayo doesn't have EDTA. You really don't want I be eating it if it does. 💜

[@lulucly]

Good values! Every bit helps doesn't it?

[@zzStiitchzz]

Healthy

[@Jess-k6q]

😂😂😂😂

[@suzannecross4670]

Not one of your better buys....!!!!!!

[@Timetangle100]

When someone puts out such a haul in the public domain, you are bound to get such criticisms. If you don’t like it, especially if you start out by giving excuses for buying such an unhealthy shop, then I would skip showing it!!!

[@marcse7en]

​​@@StaceyVocalistUK Everybody is entitled to an opinion! ... But, obviously NOT in your world?

[@marcse7en]

​​@@StaceyVocalistUK Is there really any need for literal name-calling? ... It's slightly childish. And, using Karen's name as an insult too?

[@donnaclinton5578]

I like the idea of small cans of beans. I haven't seen that before. I also include items like laundry products and paper goods and hygiene to my grocery budget. It's easier for me to deal with the budget as a whole instead of having separate ones as I know some people can do.

[@kathpierce5296]

Branston do small cans of beans, separate rather than a pack, I thin they were 60p a can

[@donnaclinton5578]

@ hi, thanks. I should have mentioned I’m in the US. I’m still going to keep an eye out for them here as lately we do get more single serve items for smaller households. Thanks for sharing what store it can be found in.

[@Ashley-n6p6n]

Nice shop but no discounts

[@judithmorganjudyteen]

Hi Karen, I am new to your channel. I know who Kathleen is, but hear you speak of Patrick. Was wondering if that is your son?😊

[@marcse7en]

Karen should explain who Kathleen and Patrick are, for the benefit of those who may not know. Is Kathleen Karen's daughter? I thought Patrick might be Karen's partner, but if she doesn't say, we'll have to guess?

[@decluttering-queen1898]

Patrick is Karen other half. Don't live together .

[@theclumsyprepper]

@@marcse7en She said it many times in previous videos.

[@marcse7en]

@theclumsyprepper And somebody who DIDN'T see these "previous videos," how are they supposed to know? ... I've watched for a while now, and often hear Karen refer to Kathleen and Patrick, but I'm having to GUESS who they are? I think Kathleen might be Karen's daughter? And Patrick her partner or husband? ... I would suggest, if Karen is going to talk about family members, that she clarifies WHO they are, regularly! People are NOT psychic! Just because Karen "said it many times" doesn't really help new viewers, does it??? Good communication is NOT rocket science!

[@janinehawkins9565]

Unfortunately the macains gastro triple chips sit in the rendered fat unless you drain it halfway and become very greasy and soggy. It's a no for me. I prefer Albert Bartlett home style chips or my own with part blanched chips with olive oil into the oven.

[@amyrowe-gb]

Harry Ramsdens from Iceland are nice too

[@juliawigger9796]

If you air fry them the fat drains under the plates so they don't sit in fat.

[@lizauger9828]

Chips look nice why not its winter and we do need extra food and like you bith i work hard x

[@lat1419]

Huge haul to fill up the freezer. With two busy gals working full time you need to be able to grab quick meals. And Kat gets to chose her own favourites. Before I gave up all wheat and carbohydrates I used to like the Youngs fish too.

[@joyceCarnivore4490]

VERY GOOD HAUL.
