💰LARGE FAMILY BUDGET GROCERY SHOPPING + HUGE THRIFT STORE Book Haul 📚

Yes! Today I'm back mommas with a large family budget grocery shopping haul PLUS a HUGE Thrift Store book haul! I spent the morning out going to some appointments with a good friend. While I was out, I hit my favorite Thrift Store for amazing books for another friend of mine who started a small private school a few years ago. I stopped in with another friend to visit and chat for an hour or so (friends, friends, friends, haha 🤣). Then I hit my local Sharp Shopper for AMAZING deals as always! I snagged discount yogurt, lunch meat, canned fruit, juices, and much more. Once back home, I lay all the budget grocery shopping deals out on the table to share with you. Last but not least, I share my huge Thrift Store book haul with you where I share books for my friend and books for our homeschool - yay!!

A great song for kids to learn a little bit about the War of 1812 is "The Battle of New Orleans" by Johnny Horton.

Hey, the expiration dates aren’t the end all be all. It’s just a date that the store has to sell it by and that it’s best tasting by. The food doesn’t automatically go bad on that date. Your senses are your best tool, use your smell, sight, taste and intuition!

[@amyrivers9381]

In my country we have best before date and use by date. Best before means you can eat the food after the date and use your intuition. Use by means don't eat it after the date. It can be a bit confusing for some people. I personally look, eat, smell etc to see if the food is still okay to eat.

[@27faeriechic]

You should never have to explain how you spend your money on food for your family. These people who are having a cow about feeding your family only organic foods are most likely not even doing it themselves. You are feeding your family good foods 99% of the time, everyone is entitled to a treat now and then. The main thing is that you are feeding your family and thats what I love seeing, rather than worrying about if the foods are clean, organic, etc.

[@Aleena8700]

So true! People are very quick to point the finger at others but rarely take accountability for there own actions!

[@jemmiller8539]

Anjee exactly! Many people are uneducated, organic poop and poop is still poop, right ?... just because you slap the word organic in the front doesn’t mean it is automatically healthier for you. Live life and enjoy portions.

[@rebeccaoprea9917]

Anjee she is feeding them with love and that’s really what matters

[@learningasigo6424]

My boys ate non organic cereal thismorning and no one died. 🤷 I think people are under the unsumption. But those who have been watching for years know she doesn't buy all processed. I respect all familys.

[@kayu7941]

Amen. Who are these people? Your kids look healthy, happy and loved. Dont worry about the haters.

[@lj2070]

I do like it when you go to sharp shopper.

I love what you said, “we have hard things in history, and we discuss them”

[@melrae1116]

Was just going through You Tube today and found your channel! Wow!! How many clones do you have of yourself? It looks like you never waste a moment of the day or night. You have my admiration which is hard to get these days with so many parents not teaching their children the better points of life. I watched a few of your videos where you "cook forward" and I was tired just watching. If there was a Mother of the Century award I would give it to you. What a wonderful job you do on a daily basis. I am a 71 year old widow, retired and I am beyond impressed with what you do. May the Lord bless you and your family all the days ahead.

[@katelynscrbacic2881]

I really appreciate how humble you are. Life is a balance. I am 25 with 5 kids under 12 and my husband is a carpenter. Sometimes he brings home great money and others he is inbetween jobs. Being from PA we have been too Sharp Shopper quite a few times, also Price Rite. Never the most healthy but our kids do not go hungry. We splurge on farmers market food and grow our own produce but with lots of kids, it's not cheap to buy the healthy food al the time. It will break the bank quick. I've been watching your videos since I was 19 and a pregnant hormonal wreck wondering how I was going to raise this family and why this was my path. Finding your videos and Nicci Lynn's really helped me be the best version of me. I can not thank you enough!

[@flora.elizabeth]

"...I have another friend, she's not made up" 😂

[@JamerrillStewart]

Since I don't use my friend's name on KZbin much, I felt funny saying I "did this with this friend," but I'm going to visit another friend, and I'm "buying books for this friend," I started to feel like these friends might sound made up, lol!! 😂

[@flora.elizabeth]

I'm starstruck! I love your humor 🤗

[@lynnwilson2371]

I could listen to your voice all day long… I love listening to your stories, how are you talk about your family, are you talk about your recipes and meals that you make. You would probably be one of my best friends if we could ever get together. Don’t worry about buying sugared cereal’s, pop tarts, candy and all that other good stuff. Anybody that tells you that they live 100% organic, grass fed meat and no junk food must be crazy. Are you see everyone by and grocery stores is exactly what you buy. You’re doing just fine the way you raise your kids! Thank you so much for being part of our lives and sharing all that you do💕

[@donnastratton8397]

Great snacks and stuff you got there! It's a shame you have to justify what YOU feed YOUR family. Even if Sharp Shopper is the only store you ever buy groceries in, that's your business. No one should EVER judge what people choose to share on KZbin. TFS! Love your channel.

[@brittanyamanda5006]

I enjoy watching "real life." There are nights when my kids have 3 different activities in 3 different locations...all needing to be there at the same time. And those nights, I feel like I'm worn out way more than they are (after playing a game of baseball/softball/etc). Sometimes the best I can do is throw a processed, full of sugar snack at them on the way out the door. And I like to know that I'm not the only one 💁

[@steppy3736]

You are not the only one! Sometimes life just gets in the way and you do what you need to do to take care of your children.

[@sortathesame8701]

You are not even close to the only one...in fact, you are in the majority by far! Even these whiners on here claiming she feeds her family wrong are most likely feeding their family even worse!

[@thch5645]

if only I could stack my cart like that! You've got mad mama-skills Ms. Jamerrill! Always a joy to see you shop and give those public disclaimers that your not causing injury or harm to your large family by giving them a spoonful of processed sugar...Much love! ❤

[@emilyjackson3060]

I like watching your videos. it doesn't matter what you buy and feed your family as long as it works for you and your family.

[@heatherlangille9959]

That lip colour looks incredible on you!! Such a beauty inside and out!

[@Pau1icu5]

Just in case you are not already aware, Jamerill, Anne of Green Gables is the first in a truly excellent series. There are 8 books in total, the final installment taking place when Anne's children are grown and go off to fight in World War I. Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea, Anne of the Island, Anne of Windy Poplars, Anne's House of Dreams, Anne of Ingleside, Rainbow Valley, and Rilla of Ingleside.

[@vickiburris2121]

There is nothing wrong in shopping at a discount store. You have a great variety for your family!!!! Yes......balance is the key😊

[@thisrothtribe3780]

If God wanted me to buy all organic, pure and holy and never any fillers, He would give me the budget to do so! Only in some countries are we privileged enough to be food arrogant! The way I see it now... food in the bellies = way more important and a HUGE gift our families should celebrate!

[@gingergolden2543]

"organic" is just a term to raise the price. Most isn't even regulated! The most important thing is that you and your family are active and healthy, and you seem to be doing just fine in those departments! Sometimes we need to have yogurt and toast for dinner because thats all there is time for. Don't feel like you must apologize or explain to anyone, I just wish we had a sharp shopper near us! Love your family and your channel.

[@rebeccaoprea9917]

[@ladylazarus6222]

Just a heads up on the Dr.Bell/Helen Keller book for those who don't know. Bell was actually a eugenicist who wanted to forbid Deaf people from getting married and wanted them to basically have no rights. While it's important to learn about people in history, unfortunately, many kids books don't show the "bad side" to historical figures.

[@Ways_of_her_household]

Right now, our family is in a season where we need to be super frugal. I would love to be raising our own food again right now, but that’s just not what it is right now. I love how real you are and really enjoyed the video!

[@bambioliver5310]

Thank you for keeping it real! I try to do all the things, but sometimes I just can't! Yes and amen. I would love all organic etc etc but I just want to feed my family and still be able to pay my bills. I love getting the kids treats to! Its all about balance my friend😍

[@islandgal7159]

I wounder if you have read "Anne of Green Gables"? I actually live on Prince Edward Island and the story is a wonderful depiction of days gone by on PEI. I am sure your family would enjoy a visit to our beautiful island some day. It is magical.

[@JamerrillStewart]

Oh YES! We have all of the Anne books!! :)

[@crochetqueen7651]

I just got a big stock pot of beef vegetable soup going. Just me and hubby, empty nesters, so we will eat soup this evening, after church tomorrow and enough for our adult kids, their spouses and 5 grandkids if anyone shows up! Freeze leftovers if I have any! Luv to watch you and family, you have such a beautiful spirit.

[@darlenefrancis5380]

Oh books wonderful books!!! Myself and my sister read the whole little house sets when we were young girls ( we’re now in our 50’s and 40’s ) and as gifts to the younger generations of our family we always gift the set

[@Kathryninchrist]

Darlene Francis my FAVORITE to make memories reading to my children!

[@gwendolynjillian5500]

@ Darlene Francis - I grew up reading and absolutely loving these books also!!!

[@jenniferknight1511]

Love that you got all The Little House books!!

[@summerd.9084]

I absolutely love your channel as a mother of four and growing you have added to my knowledge on how to feed a large crowd on a budget. And always seem so down to earth.

[@ophiuchusoversoul1785]

Little house on the prairie, how I loved those books. I just recently found I still have a copy of Pippy Longstockings that I found at a bookstore one day and bought for my youngest (21 years old) daughter a couple of years ago so that she could enjoy it.

[@Cupcake4me]

Beanie weenies 😭 what a cute name ! What a lovely collection of books too !!

[@actuallykaren850]

God bless you, your friend will really appreciate that You really have a good heart I love your videos

[@waffles8364]

I love how you encourage their learning. As a kid I'd ask questions all the time, and my dad would always sit there and talk for hours about whatever it was, or if I didn't know he'd have me look it up. We'd watch shows about space because I was interested in it. And I love that when your kids ask a question or have an interest you'll go out of your way to just engage them on that subject and try to encourage whatever that is. Even just getting a book about flies cause your son asked a question about that, or getting a book about biology of dinosaurs because they like drawing dinosaurs. That's just such a great way to encourage them to learn.

[@marycostello3540]

Your priorities are brilliant! You are guided by spirit and never need to justify yourself to people who are unfortunately bound by their own worries. Love from Ireland

[@nancyosgood777]

I love your confidence in your ability to do what's best for your family i.e. food choices. That is one of the things that always struck me about Andrea Mills. So glad KZbinrs like you exist. My children are grown and I have grandchildren now but I so enjoy watching your daily life!!

[@angiewright6650]

You have the sweetest heart!! Your friend will be thrilled to get these books. Praying God's favor on her for starting her school❤

[@seylerfam7025]

What a blessing you are to your friend!! Buying her a book collection to get started. 😍😍

[@jennap3684]

How kind of you!! What a way to make some one and many children’s day ! God bless you !!

[@angelaforcier378]

Don’t ever apologize for what you buy and feed your family , you eat healthy most of the time and everyone needs to remember everything in moderation , your a great mama 😀

[@auntydave339]

Such a beautiful friend and mom you are and what a wonderful collection of book to start off their library . Bless your heart

[@elainepalmer479]

Really enjoy watching you vlogs. The food is good. I totally understand what it's like to feed a bunch of kids in a rush and continue to do everything else. The books haul was great to see. 🤗

[@gillianmuspic2337]

I love how you make books so important in your kid's lives, both reading them and them having their own copies with their names in for special volumes. What a generous friend you are. You are truly a blessing to a lot of people (including myself. My kids have left the nest but I still enjoy all your videos.

[@MzKaT11]

You shouldn't ever have to explain why you buy certain items for your kids enjoyment. What's wrong with people.

[@tennesseebornandraised1075]

I'm shaking 🤣🙌 so excited for another Jamerrill video!!!! 💃💃💃💃

[@vanessalucero1753]

I'll be honest I would watch your videos but didn't think they were for me....but omg I can't stop watching your videos ur such a beautiful momma...n do everything u can for your kiddos ..I admire you😃

[@eileenkillen6475]

Same here, I live on my own since my only son moved out. I just live for Jamerills video's!!!!☘💐🌴🌼💋

[@GManthereviewer]

We love fast, quick, and in a hurry kid food! As a home schooling mommy, I have learned that it is more important to make memories with the kiddos than to spend hours in the kitchen!

[@cindyjones8336]

Jamerrill, I just really enjoy watching your stuff!!! You are an excellent Teacher, also! Wish that we could of been Home schooled , but, in those times, there was no such a thing..needless to say I think I would of learnt alot more than I did! Your Children are so Blessed to have you ,as their Mother, and Teacher, as well as their Best Friend! God Bless You and You Family!!🙏 Thank you for Teaching me, also!

[@Alicia-kf9lq]

Sharp shopper treat time!!! Love it!! Gosh just look at the lovely books. Lovely when we can make that time for friends. Make sure you take care of you.........God bless xx

[@maryreynolds5310]

Oh so many memories when I see all the books! Way to go Jamerrill, that’s awesome! I’m sure your friend will not be too overwhelmed, but maybe a room issue lol I would be totally grateful as I’m sure she will be. I’m a firm believer that one can’t have too many books when we have little ones. My kids read to me everyday, even if just a bit. Have a good week ahead! Hugs to all your little ones 🌞

[@WARRIOR4LIFE9761]

Helen Keller is such an inspiration to me. I know sign language so i love books that deal with sign language or people who are important to the deaf community. Love you Jarica

[@carmenb1434]

I love how you love books. I grew up reading 24/7 and believe it is the best way to learn about different people and places. Such a good haul here!

[@TubbsOfLove]

I get my kids cereal very rarely, but with 5, they’ll go through that much in 2-3 mornings... out of 30 in a month. Seriously, the same people judging the cereal and likely giving theirs happy meals. Gary Paulson is one of our favorites! My kids loved the whole hatchet series! We are reading the Clara Barton book soon! And little house will forever be a favorite! I was super excited for a new video! 💗💗💗

[@kellyhanson140]

I had the collection of great illustrated classics as a kid.. loved it! And i had that beginners bible

[@darlenefabrizi8247]

I truly enjoy your delightful videos. I would not pass any judgement on your food choices. We do what we must to feed our families. It’s just my husband and I now so my “hauls” are a bit smaller. We enjoy a ride to Winchester Sharp Shopper once in awhile.

[@marcialane8235]

LuCKy kids...all those beautiful books...what a haul! Love reading encouragement...Mad Libs are great teaching tools..I’m convinced my love of English classes was inspired by playing Mad Libs at an early age.

[@lovemyhomelife2152]

You do what you do, lady. No judgement here. You do you so well, and I admire you very much. TFS with us. God bless you and yours.💗💗💗

[@maryspencer4368]

Jamerill I’ve been with you since the encouraging homeschool mom and let me tell you; you are the encouraging homeschool mom!! My oldest is 6 so just starting our journey and your porch chats and homeschool videos have been so helpful over the years. You’ve helped answer so many questions new homeschool moms and new moms have in general. These books look amazing and now I have to find a book thrift store here in Oklahoma to shop at!

[@ourforeverfairytale957]

Enjoyed your vlog. It was very nice of you to collect all those books for your friend. Wishing her the best at her little Christian school. I was raised in a small Christian school up to age 10. I am so thankful for that experience.

[@katewales923]

You are wonderful and a strong 💪mom, I love watching you and your helpful hints.

[@beckyhunt9628]

You said it you have kids & kids love to eat. So what they aren't having every thing healthy or organic it's not the worse kind of snacks they could have. So don't think another thought of those who want to give flak. I need a Sharp Shopper in TN..... Awesome job on the books, I love to read & love seeing the younger ones reading. keep up the good work & the videos coming.

[@jennifergottschalk2467]

Thoses are some great books especially The Little House on the Prairie, Clara Barton Book when I first read it couldn't put it down her story makes you feel like you are there sharing in her life experiences. I wish we had a shop shopper where I live what some amazing deals you find 😊 may God continue to bless you and your family

[@savanah1407]

My kid loves the YoCrunch. You found Such amazing deals! Like you said, there’s a balance! And I love that you helped your friend get her school library off the ground! I can’t believe you found the whole set of Laura Ingles wilder books! All of the books look like brand new condition!

[@gloriapeel6887]

You feed your kids great! Do let anyone upset you. I love all the books. How nice of you to help the school with books!

[@cathybrown7559]

Years ago I was a sales rep for Golden Books. Twice a year I would go to Kroger grocery stores and take all the old books out and fill with new books. Back in the day we would write an invoice and take the books. I always went to homeless women shelters and give them all the books. I live in Alabama, Helen Keller was from Alabama. Honey, don’t ever apologize for what you feed your family. You brighten my day, had to put my sweet Labrador retriever down Wednesday and I have been in bed since.

[@JKMA818]

I agree that you have your family and it is no one's business how or what you buy. I am sure half the people on the you gave what to your kids have more than you do. I think life is to short to think about what you feeling your family. I sincerely appreciate your time.

[@user-sm1yi4kz4e]

I love 💕 watching your hauls while making my Walmart grocery pick up order. Thanks Jamerrill

Love the little house in the prairie books! Farmer Boy, The long Winter and these happy golden years are my favorites :) caddie Woodlawn is good to, oh and Sounder! Oh I saw Jonny Tremain that's a really good one! And Davy Crockett! You have so many good books!!!

[@jenniferknight1511]

First Four Years was not edited by her daughter who was really the one who put the flow and pace of the books together through her amazing editing skills. That is why it reads differently...I actually noticed the difference when I was a little girl reading the books.

[@riograndelily8344]

Great find Jamerrill, I loved those biography books when we were homeschooling many moons ago. The pilgrim and thanksgiving lessons is where I first learned that, "The expedition of Spanish explorer Don Juan de Onate held a Thanksgiving feast in 1598 near what is now San Elizario TX., twenty-three years before the Thanksgiving at Plymouth Colony.". Many of my family fleeing the Spanish Inquisition were in this party. I have read many of their journals back when I was doing my family tree on the crypto Jews of the South west. So much history in this great country. I also learned that I am a daughter of the American Revolution as I'm sure you are as well. Loved this video. We never stop learning do we my sweet sister.
