MASSIVE $1000 GROCERY HAUL - we shopped before the panic buying began again

[@donnajulian7553]

Love the fact that you are so open and honest about the kids getting treats , everything in moderation is a great motto

[@nancyfarkas3592]

I agree. Denying kids treats just means they will get it elsewhere when you are not around. Either at school or a friends or somewhere. Treats can be a part of the diet.

[@amy2284]

I love it when you show the shops there in Australia and what you buy. Thank you for your videos Because they really help during this time of lockdown.

[@SaxonRachel]

For your deli meats, you would be best off checking on the deli section as they would be cheaper in the bulk section for the most part. You can also freeze and then pull it out and buy kgs on sale of the different meats you like. :)

[@angeesteiner8493]

I love the way you preach about not wasting food. I am constantly amazed and saddened when I see how much food so many people throw out all of the time. I volunteer one Sunday a month at a local homeless shelter, and many of us bring food. We feed between 50-100 people, and provide a main dish, a meatless dish, and so on. If people could see how many people in this country are starving, they would think twice before just tossing food that can be used in another way.

[@denisarsenault505]

I feel the same about food - really sad to see how some people have no regard for it...

[@jodydix9606]

I spent several of my younger years in Australia (my dad is Australian but my mum is American); your shops always make me hungry for biscuits and lollies and such we can't get in America!!!!!

I like how you end each video saying God Bless. It brightens up my day.

I currently have to shop at least twice per week for our family of 6 here in the US due to limits on so many things. I normally do a monthly big shop and then buy fruit and fresh veg on a smaller trip when needed. The limits are bad enough but we also get rude stares when trying to do a monthly shop here. You must have much kinder understanding people where you live! 💜 I enjoy watching your hauls!! ☺️

[@Dovey62]

Here's a tip for you. l used to live in Arizona. I would take foam coolers with me to the supermarket and put frozen foods and ice cream in them. It worked wonders when it was 100 plus degrees out there! I still do it here in Missouri in the summer. Really helps keep that ice cream frozen!

[@rachellilley1518]

I really appreciate the explanations on the foods and different names .

Small.? Lol really?

[@megg.8084]

@@angelika_munkastrap4634 yes small, in America our average ketchup is 30-50oz like how American food is always supersized

[@angelika_munkastrap4634]

The 500 ml smaller bottle of ketchup (tomato sauce) is just a convenience size, for easy use at the table and pouring, and is the most popular for purchasing, we do have it in 2 litre bottles aswell, 2 Australia litres equals US 67.62 fluid ounces

Our cheese here in America has added turmeric for that orange color. I’m surprised that you have some things like we do here. We mostly have Mexican cookies that are really good that we like. It’s the sponges and orange flavored shortbread cookies. Like your hauls and you beautiful family. From Texas USA.

[@MsWDWFAN1]

It is funny the difference between some American foods vs Australian foods are! I find it very interesting! Some Australian products I wish we had here in America! Very nice haul. For the amount you purchased, what you spent seems reasonable to me. That was alot of groceries! How long does it take to do a shop like that? 🤔 Wonderful video. Thank you!

[@angelika_munkastrap4634]

And I'm an Aussie who misses American food like crazy, there's so much you have there we don't have

[@nancydrew302]

I feel like you could save a lot more if you prep yourself, beef burgers, chicken shnitz, homemade pizza bases etc get the kids involved 😁 but totally get convenience!

[@TheOfficialKayy]

I agree, I also think they could certainly make much healthier snack for the kids. Most of it was junk and processed foods. However, I also understand it’s not always possible. One step at a time and I’m sure they could get there with all the hands to help :)

Do you guys have sausages in the states? Another thing to note too is when you hear a British person say they're having Bangers and Mash, it's sausages and mashed potatoes Though they do call them sausages there too

[@andreaostler1710]

@@angelika_munkastrap4634 yes we have sausages. We have breakfast sausage that is either loose like ground meat, patties or in links that tend to be about 3 to 4 inches in length. We also have kielbasa sausages. They are longer and thicker and are usually in a U shape when purchased. And then there is summer sausages. It is similar to a salami. It's flavored and smoked meat that's enjoyed with crackers and cheese.

Are your potatoes already peeled? They look it from the packaging. Also, what do you use the pumpkin for? I love watching your hauls and seeing the differences country to country! I also admire how many items are Australian grown/brand/etc... Thank you for sharing! ♥️

[@TheBonellFamily]

The white potatoes still have skin on them but have been washed clean. Brushed potatoes are brown and still have dirt on them. We normally steam the pumpkin or mash it and sometimes we will roast it

[@angelika_munkastrap4634]

No they're not peeled, they're what's called Washed Potatoes, but the skin is still on them, it's just a type of potatoes where the skin is white, we also have Brushed Potatoes that still have a little dirt on them and then there's the full dirt covered ones that last longer. Most people prefer convenience more these days though

[@joanapthorp1122]

Cheese in the U.S.A. is light yellow also. The orange color cheese is dyed to be that color. For some odd reason the orange cheese is a regional favorite in some parts of the country.

Do you ever try whole peeled tomatoes? I recently switched from diced to whole, after watching heaps of italian nonnas using them and recommending them on youtube. Honestly they are way better, not as watery and you just mush them up with a masher or your hand becauee they are super soft. I highly recommend you try them 👍🏽👍🏽😊

[@TheBonellFamily]

I will definitely try them. Thanks

[@brendal6936]

I find it funny that so many of the products say "Australian" or "Australia" on them. In the US, we don't have "American Carrots" on our bags of carrots. They're just...carrots. And potatoes are "russet" or "yukon" or "red", not "American potatoes"

[@c.d.c9425]

The "Australian" label often signifies where the produce was grown or produced. We often get a lot of international products as well and so a label such as "Australian potatoes" would just mean that the potatoes were grown in Australia.
