Large Family Costco Grocery Haul | + Sharp Shopper Grocery Outlet | $722 Total

The other week Travis and I did something wild and crazy. We went back to Costco for the bulk of this month's large family grocery haul! We haven't worked Costco hard for groceries in about two years now. I felt it was time to go back and check out their meat, fruit, and veggie prices. Travis is also helping me more in the kitchen (it's hard for me to let go of parts of that, haha!). He wanted lots of veggies to do big family style salads for lunch. He's also great at cooking steak, pork, and chicken for dinner. DON'T WORRY I'm still getting in another large family freezer cooking day in the future and I have some new slow cooker meals I'm filming. But in the in-betweens and even amongst all that we're going to let Travis cook some stuff, too! I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

Darlin' Jamerrill, I say this every time I watch a video of yours - you are one AMAZING woman. I don't think you realize what an inspiration you are! I love you to pieces. xoxo

[@FREETOFAMILY]

Haven’t had a lot of time to watch many videos but just wanted to let you know I HAVE to watch you mama! I just love your attitude and your thoughts on everything 😘 hope you had a wonderful Christmas and enjoy the new year holiday!!!❤️❤️

[@dorisstevens5602]

I love your attitude also. You are so calm and sweet. Love these grocery hauls. Thanks for your videos. Enjoy them tremendously.

[@michellebarham326]

Excited to see how 'Travis in the Kitchen' turns out..maybe you can film some of those and share with us! ;) ;)

[@jensnksm]

Or even just show the completed meals if he doesn’t want to be on camera

[@dianecrane3419]

You are so much fun to watch. Thanks for sharing your family.

[@gemmadauvergne7720]

i have no children and i watch your videos over and over again i love u and your family

[@JenninKanata]

You could take the yogurt and put into smaller containers for your smoothies and freeze it. That way you don't have to eat so much yogurt in a short period of time and frozen yogurt even put in to ice cube trays and frozen is great for smoothies and it's like almost frozen yogurt

[@allie4648]

"We're gonna load up on broccoli" that made me smile. Broccoli is my favorite vegetable. You can never have enough.

[@ddubfan]

Allie I agree. Yummy!

[@PatriciaHernandez-tc2kk]

The doll house was a good deal two in one space saver.

[@ahamatmabrahman]

I preserve lettuce by standing it in a little water. You can leave yogurt overnight in a cloth to drip, next day mix with sugar and lemon , use as a topping on biscuit crumb base '' cheese cake '' Yogurt and water mixed together can be used as buttermilk . It is also very easy to make yogurt. Thank you for showing your shopping haul, interesting to compare prices/ packaging/ products with shopping here in the UK

[@mrssharp]

You can also freeze the yogurt in ice cube trays and throw them in smoothies like that. :)

[@sadiephillips2819]

Just started watching you for about two weeks now I just love your show and thank you are an amazing person and a great mom I love watching making your freezer dinners and what smart kids you have I admire how you and your husband have raised up your kids to be so smart look forward to keep watching your shows until next time

[@Growstuff70]

Whoa...I need a Sharp Shopper in my life!

[@pambrown6260]

We went to Sharp Shopper to get our food pantry donation. 4 hour drive for us, worth it!

[@donnaterry1200]

I love your attitude not much upsets you. I guess that is why you have a large family and able to make it work. You just go with the flow! Wonderful!

[@kayleighhuard7851]

When you buy the big tubs of yogurt close to date, if you put it into ice cube trays and freeze you can make smoothie bags,

[@LifeSewCrazy]

“Mack daddy crab right there” 😂😂

[@meghannardini7876]

Just started watching you and we have been binge watching you. :) it's just me and my sweet daughter but you're voice is so comforting to listen to. Big fans :) you're so positive and lovely!

[@southerncouponista]

Always love seeing your Sharp Shopper finds! Such a great store! Wish we had one!

[@BSavage111]

I cannot believe this was 6 years ago!!! 😭 I am rewatching all of the oldies ❤

[@JamerrillStewart]

Awwww, thanks. Memory Lane 🤗🤗🤗

[@kellyj.goodgoldberger4012]

I have seen large pink Himalayan salt with the grinder attached at the dollar tree! Also, loving these bulk buys. The "large family table" sized green beans and tomato sauce cans- I can see it now- those are going to come in handy big time on meal prep days and also for a super quick, ready to go side. I love how you always encourage us and yourself by saying "give yourself grace, mommas"!

[@briahumble1858]

so excited that you uploaded today ! I went to Costco yesterday for the first time and was so overwhelmed !

[@ddubfan]

Bria Humble lol Costco is evil lol you buy things you didn't even know you needed lol

[@patriciahusk3428]

Love watching your hauls so much! You are an amazing and organized mama!!! May you and your whole family have a very blessed New Year!!

[@154angel154]

J is going to put Travis to work!!!

[@kenfu3889]

Great deals! I have never been in a Sharp Shopper, but interested to stop in when I see one. Thank you for sharing and yay for being frugal!

[@AuntieKnowsKitchen]

I just love your family

[@janicekrol8320]

Congratulations on winning Frugal person of the year!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@MargaretHill65_]

I have found your videos are relaxing and very helpful ! God bless you hun ❤️🙏🏻

[@familylifewithpsoriasis7731]

Congratulations on winning the frugal family foodie. I love watching your videos. (The talking hand). I wish you would do more , but I understand your a busy mama. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years

[@duckhunting4life191]

You look very pretty in this video.

[@mdheartsuju]

With yoghurt you can use it for a couple of weeks after the use by date because the lactic acid in it keeps it preserved pretty well.

[@itssewxtra1713]

Hey Jamerrill! Hope you & your family are enjoying the holidays, I have missed your vlogs so much

[@kristinrobertson8980]

I think it's wonderful that you have started buying some organic things in your grocery haul We are a family of 4 our grocery bill is Is very expensive but I do buy a lot of organic chicken and vegetables and eggs Love your grocery haul videos

[@ddubfan]

Brenda Franco wow! Congratulations on 49 years! That's awesome 💜

[@launley3421]

I like your hauls. You actually buy real groceries not just a bunch pre-made meals.

[@jbkidsco]

could you do a video on how you organize your grocery list for your freezer cooking days? I do OAMC but struggle with getting all of my groceries. Thanks!!!

[@LifeWithMrsB]

I love your huge hauls like this Jamerrill :) I also loved your hair in this video!

[@bobbiecoburn6076]

The smoothies can go into popsicle molds also! It's winter buy me kids love popsicles anytime !

[@Amberwood265]

I always love finding surprise grocery deals, they help in so many ways. Sometimes I don't feel like making a huge dinner and only want something simple or small. I only have my husband, son (3.5yr) and myself to worry about most days. Although we do live with his mom and brother but they are on the keto diet, our meals don't always mesh together. When I do find a boat load of meat on sale, then FAMILY DINNER! WOOO HOO! Like the 5 or 6lbs of pork ribs in my freezer for less than $10. Hee hee. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and a fantastic New Year. Thanks for the video!

[@TheFreezeDryQueen]

Jamerrill your makeup looks so beautiful in this video. I love it! Not saying you don’t always look great but that eyeshadow compliments your eyes so well. Thanks for sharing! Loved those special toy items! I let my kiddos pick their Hanukkah gifts if they’re with me and it is close to that time. Who cares? If they want it, and it’s for a great price then why the heck not!?

[@patmulh4245]

When I get close to the date on yogurt, I freeze it in ice cube trays for smoothies. I have ice trays that I got on Amazon and they have lids and make larger cubes...just throw a couple of them into the blender with other smoothie ingredients.

[@reunionwithnature7355]

I’m the happiest everytime you have some grocery haul . Love love love . Happy New Year beautiful !

[@julesa5]

You look amazing! Merry Christmas and Happy New year!

[@acountrylife]

I love every video you make. This time I thought I was going crazy because after catching a view of your gorgeous tree it changed and became even more beautiful. After a third time of thinking the tree just got prettier I focused on it and realized you have changing lights. Anyway, it's so pretty. As for the shrimp here's a super easy recipe that my kids love and can be eaten low carb. I take a bag of pre-cooked shrimp, dump it in a crock add butter 1/2-1 stick depending on amount of shrimp and then douse in garlic salt, garlic powder and parsley flakes. Heat and serve on crackers or just eat the shrimp on the side of a giant salad. It's so filling and satisfying.

[@CarolynnMc01]

If you don't use the yogurt, you can freeze it. I always eat yogurt which has lapsed past the date to buy. If it smells good, there's nothing wrong with it. Same for milk and other dairy products. Best wishes! PS... you sure do buy a lot of groceries!!

[@olgabusch9184]

I've been gone for awhile but I am back so glad to see you. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your lovely family. Great video

[@janetgrigoratos9318]

those bubba burgers were a steal!!!!! And that yogurt can go past the date because its yogurt!! You can freeze it in little packs for smoothies too!!

[@mamagoldielocks]

Thanks for sharing! Your hauls are the best! I wish Sharp Shopper would come to the Midwest! Amazing deals! 😍

[@kenyapereyra8576]

You’re in my hometown! 😁😁😁 I knew as soon as I saw the Aaron’s beside the sharp shopper lol. And yes I love the remodeled Aldi it’s very nice. Love the videos, thanks for sharing!

[@pajamamama5965]

I've always used yogurt past the date with no problems. The thing to watch for is mold or a dirt-like taste, but I've rarely had that happen. Thanks for sharing!

[@Growstuff70]

Pajama Mama-yes....for many things!

[@feedatribe]

Pajama Mama yes, I find it's fine for many days past the 'use by' date - yoghurt also freezes perfectly!

[@jensnksm]

Great video! Would love to see Travis’s menu , meal plan and if he uses an app or planner to plan his meals .. It’s interesting to see it from a guys perspective

[@ldann5207]

Me and my kids love watching your videos every day, and I must say you looks so beautiful today love you!!!! Just saying incase you haven't been told that lately. You rock

[@DierdreV]

Oh honey...no bread?!? I know what a challenge that is personally and feeding kiddos....phew. Especially once they are used to having it. I tried for mine and my husbands health to eliminate gluten and then all grains and I find I just can't get bread out of the picture. I do opt for unbleached flour and use my bread machine, but it's still white bread, which everyone including my doc says is the devil. I can't wait to see what tips and tricks you come up with. Best of luck!

[@Anne-gn6is]

$1.99 a box for Bubba Burgers?! I would have cleaned them out! 😂

[@Ladiebuglane1]

Now that's a good haul! Especially with all that meat!I am sure you guys are almost done with it now. wish we had a cosco!!!

[@crazy9nic]

I love these food hauls of yours these are my favorite vlogs to make! Ive got 7 kids only 4 at home to cook for but i still cook for so many out of habit!! Would love you to see what an aussie mummabear buys for her family xxx from perth Australia 🇦🇺

[@jessicastrote4406]

Your hair looks amazing !! I don’t know if you styled it different but you look beautiful!!

[@ashleytolson8396]

I am doing this same routine tomorrow but adding in Aldi too. That Costco is always busy. I try to go during the weekday or right before they close. I do all three once a month and spend about 800 for 5 of us. Hopefully o find some deals tomorrow at sharp shopper. Sharp shopper is great for snacks and cheaper.

[@edensmama8878]

Sausage in spegetti is awsome we make tons and freeze it.we do some with mini meat balls,some with sausage,mushrooms we like to just have different sauces

[@esiesiesiGirl]

I love grocery hauls! Happy New year to your family, Jamerill!

[@cwright4100]

Those pineapple and cereal yogurt from activa are yummy! I really enjoy them. Glad you found them at a good price! Have a wonderful day! Thank you so much for what you do.

[@tyjomeb123]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!

[@hedgerow.homestead]

thanks for sharing! i love watching your videos for tips for planning our shopping! we did a costco haul video the other day. i thought my haul was huge but it can't compare! lol

[@cherylhudson5080]

I would love to do grocery shopping over there being from Australia we have nowhere near the variety or the quantities which you have available to you, it would suit me I love having a cooking day and adding meals to the freezer for nights when at my age (70) we rarely feel like cooking so frozen meals are awesome love your videos and love seeing your interaction with your family maybe one day you could introduce them to all of us. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@grizzly0410]

I love your hauls! You do such an excellent job!

[@pamjones6465]

Nice haul. Going to be some delicious meals. Love your videos. Congratulations on your winning. Awesome job.:)

[@brittneybrown6240]

“I got some kale, don’t tell Travis”😂😂

[@smilyblessings1315]

Jamerrill's Large Family 😜

[@chels67]

Cook the kale in with potatoes and sausage. Take out the sausage, mash the potatoes and kale with butter and some of the water you cooked with. Borenkol Stumput! Soo Good!

[@llloard]

Jamerrill's Large Family Table that's sooo funny...I also liked "Yay Travis"...😂😂😂😂

[@emmmyy61]

Your big peppers (capsicums) taste amazing baked in the oven stuffed with rice, minced meat and vegetables and optional cheese. So yummy!!

[@carolinecoffey4074]

Hi thanks for all the meal ideas I just love your way of thinking and planning so inspiring thanks xx

[@mmichellle5]

I just subscribed to your channel and I am interested in your upcoming recipes. I am very interested in how you will keep all the fresh fruits and vegetables from going bad? I love your attitude, you're so positive and amazing.

[@bahanniyahaldakari9680]

this is totally off topic, but i have to tell you that you're skin looks amazing! it is flawless. you dont look a day over 18. i'm dying to know your skin care routine.

[@mommabear2many]

I can't believe how cheap stuff is there!! great job!

[@654Bearcub]

yay, a special treat to have this pop up, I can't wait until I get to my first trip into a costco someday

[@deeferry6520]

Just thought I'd mention, you can't buy ready made Parmesan cheese in UK anymore. Only fresh, or freshly grated etc. They're not allowed to call it Parmesan. You can buy dried grated hard cheese to sprinkle but they're not allowed to call it Parmesan

[@naomibeery478]

You can freeze yogurt in an ice cube tray and take out one or two cubes for your smoothies.

[@nylotisslaughter7385]

Merry Christmas Jamerrill I hope you and the family had a nice Christmas and I hope you will have a very nice New Year's just saying

[@grtgma4169]

Love your hauls as i get good meal ideas..tfs them. Wanting to get a small freezer soon as small upper freezer in fridge doesnt quite do the job. And in doing so can make my planned ready to cook freezer meals.

[@pamelaanderson2158]

I like the way you shop you taught me a lot about shopping and how to save and where to go thank you for these videos

[@homeschoolingmysuper7884]

Too late for this suggestion but you can always freeze the yogurt and eat 1 or 2 a week to make them stretch!

[@beverleydan1893]

Jamerrill, did you do a christmas morning gift opening. I would like to see something like that from your family!

[@rachelaaroen2186]

Wish we had Sharp Shopper stores here in Wisconsin. You got some great deals. Merry Christmas to the Stewart family!!!

[@BrynjaLives]

I also want to discuss with my husband about taking some of the load. Congratulations and I hope the kinks of the "new" trial work out quickly, happily, and well.

[@livinwiththeedges8283]

Great meat deals at shop shopper! You did awesome, Jamerill!

[@kathleenbarber6254]

We are working to make some healthy eating positive changes in the new year. I'm feeling like we will have a similar haul here soon. (Though ours will be smaller with our family of 4 😜) Also, your hair looks very nice in this video.

[@prissypooh4346]

You seem to be tired. Don't forget to take care of yourself while taking care of your family ❤

[@wearethecamachos]

Great Haul! Bubba burgers is my hubby's favorite burger. Never tried the turkey but I'm sure they are good too. Walmart had a closeout on the big box's and my husband bought all that was there lol large family life 😉 We Love cheese and stock up too! We had recently went to our Amish discount Store and got Muenster cheese like $16 a huge block. We were super excited and bought them out. Because the same block was over $60 the day before at walmart. Shew, Certainly glad we didn't buy that one lol 😂 People always say wow thats alot of food etc , but when you have a large family its either go big or go home 😁 We never buy singles everything is always in multiples As always, Love your videos ❤

[@Whoknows867]

With the big tubs of yogurt.. you could take a couple and just put them in ice cube trays.. for smoothies also :) yogurt parfaits for breakfast my kids loooove those :)

[@rachelsbusy9948]

I'm expecting #5 and realizing I need to relearn how to shop! Love your videos!

[@thisisthegoodlife9912]

I take and freeze my yogurt into silicone ice cube trays and then put them into baggies and pull it out of freezer when we want a smoothie.

[@patmulh4245]

I also make yogurt popcycles...throw in strawberries...more or less freeze smoothies into popcicles

[@applecandy8114]

I live in Massachusetts and we have a Save-alot and Price rite. And Bjs is like your Costco. I love watching your videos. You are amazing. Love your videos.😀

[@lovelyamor13]

Great haul!! I wish there was a Sharp Shopper in my area!! 👍🙋🏻

[@butterflyinflight85]

I LOVE costco! Of course like everything else you know to know what to get and know your prices. Just because you buy it in bulk doesn't mean it's a good deal! lol

[@kellyreed2768]

Always love watching your hauls! ☺
