Large Family STOCK UP! Grocery Haul + Pandemic "Then & Now" Grocery Store Footage

[@sarahladouceur5548]

Warm! I wish. It’s cold and snowing over here in British Columbia 🇨🇦 brrrr. Great haul! Love the huge variety you guys have. Very neat to see so many different things

[@paula...sister1of12]

I came from a large family. There is nothing that compares to love that is shared between us. Not always easy. But definatly a blessing. It wasn’t till I grew up that I realized how hard my Mother and Father worked to keep us all clothed and fed. But I never heard them complain even one time about having to do it.

[@pauladart176]

I love th way you explain what the different foods are and how you use them.

Hello, thank you for sharing. I know you all are in summertime. I hope that means your cases for the you know what is low. We are in winter and in the midst of a horrible pandemic. Prayers to your family

I know it's nearly a year on but I hadn't seen this one yet. Thanks for sharing! I'm regional nsw and we are seeing some empty shelves again, from supply issues now I think but thankfully nothing. Like we had last year!

I am just a family of one now but I have always kept plenty stocked up I was fortunate at the beginning of the pandemic that I didn't have to rush out and buy toilet paper and paper products I was able to share with my two daughters other family and a few friends. When growing up I was from a family of six and we never did without but it's just something built into my brain that I had to be prepared I never cared for clothes shopping but I love my grocery store

I’m watching from United States and it is so interesting the difference of the food there to here I’m so glad you describe how you use them also I love these halls

[@MsWDWFAN1]

I don't know how y'all survived with that shortage of goods earlier this year! I guess you had to get creative! There were slim pickings on some items here too, but nothing compared to ya'll's bare shelves & cases! I do find it interesting how certain products are the same but have different names. The bottles that's called tomato sauce in Australia is ketchup here in America. Also what you called Cruskits might be considered as melba toast here and they're good! There are others too. Some items y'all have look delicious and wish we had them here! Looking forward to more hauls! Merry Christmas to your family. 🎄⭐🎅🤶☃️🦌

Ireally enjoyed this video. I guess everything is relative, wages/cost of living/cost of housing etc, but, I did think it looks like you pay more than us for your store cupboard staples. Not sure how many Australian dollars to the pound Sterling (just asking Alexa lol - £1 to 1.78 Australian dollars). Doesn’t sound so bad now, I guess this would be around £350. So good to see the different foods. We don’t have tinned beetroot, wish we did. We rarely get jars of fruit, we’d have tins. Milo! Forgot it existed. I loved it as a child and I’m 64 now. Wonder if it’s still available in the UK? Happy Christmas to you all xx

no we dont have a dishwasher. All family members rotate on the job roster to do the clean up after dinner ;-)

[@gingergolden2543]

Glad your shelves are stocked again! In the US (at least where I live) we are still missing a lot of items. We had so many hurricanes this season that we just cannot seem to get the supply back to normal. Still not much toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies or dry goods. We've had meat shortages due to fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, and more, and a lot of our local veggie crops seem to be having problems too. I hope 2021 is better, but I'm not sure it will be. : ( Thanks for your videos, what a lovely family!

[@tiffanyb34]

I think it really depends on the area. Our shelves in SC have continued to be fully stocked since late April, early May. We have seen a slight uprise hoarding toilet tissue again, but stores got on top of limitations again as soon as it started, so there have been no empty shelves.

[@TheBonellFamily]

Gosh, besides the pandemic, that's a lot of natural disasters to deal with. Hope next year is much easier to get through. Stay safe

[@TheBonellFamily]

We have the best lamb. it is so good and one of our favourites

[@RockSimmer-gal4God]

I remember panic buying it was hell. I remember an aguement in the supermarket over yeast. Sorry I can’t spell. I used those wipes for cleaning. I thought that’s not a lot of chocolate 4 ur size of family. 2 loaves of bread don’t seem like a lot. Tinned pineapple is awesome as a pudding. Never thought of putting it in a burger. I buy Aussie honey as I prefer the flavour. Sliced Gurkens are awesome for a burger. I use tartare sause for seafood as well as fish. I had fish paste on my sandwiches as a kid. I’ve never had a cruskit even in Australia.

[@sallymay24]

I still can’t believe you guys up in Toowoomba went crazy panic buying and you had hardly any cases and lockdown wasn’t even that long for you 🤷‍♀️ meanwhile in Melbourne my local was stocked to the brim except for a few things and we were in lockdown for 5 months 🤣🤣 Also in March when toilet paper disappeared my mum brought a 24 pack of toilet paper and hide it ...she still hasn’t used it ...she plans to keep it for the next crazy time ...I hope it never happens 🤣🤣 Wooowww I thought that was gonna be wayyyyyyy over $1000 ....under $700 you did great

I buy tinned foods so we can use when the fruits aren't in season. Also our kids love fresh fruit and so a pineapple or two (because 1 wouldn't be enough hahaha) would disappear in a heartbeat. We do buy lots of fresh produce but the tinned varieties are also really handy to have in the pantry.
