MOM OF 8~ MONTHLY GROCERY HAUL ON A BUDGET 😉🥰

Here is another grocery haul for our big family. I really didn’t need much for our food pantry just a couple things like spaghetti, noodles and some spices. But we really did need a lot of items to restock both our fridge upstairs and downstairs.
We have been trying to eat better so fruits and vegetables have been going faster than normal. And we are introducing and making smoothies, and that also requires more veggies.
Are Clydesdale horse Wingman is home and he loves carrots, so I had to get some huge bags to treat him every day. We’ve been trying to be very conscious of the things we buy.
During the holidays, we definitely eat more snacks because we just love celebrating with each other and making those things that you don’t normally make throughout the year. So I definitely do more holiday, grocery haul, then our normal monthly halls for just food to restock the fridge and pantry. Plus up north we get so much snow that we can’t pour concrete anymore so my boys don’t work as many hours as normal. They do get second jobs to last him throughout the winter but they are home more so our food doesn’t last as long as it does in the summer when we’re out and about pretty much all day.

Josh not being thrilled about the make your own lunchables kind of breaks my heart.😢 But praying that he enjoys the extra creativity and independence it could give him!😊

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

You got the ability to make your ideas a reality. The strength to overcome hurdles to pursue your dreams. The capacity to be courageous while also being kind. Have a Beautiful and Blessed day and week. See you next video. Stay safe and healthy. God Bless.

[@kathleengreen9660]

Those kids all work for their parents! She probably just takes it out of their pay. They are always doing extra things for their parents that help them tremendously! Their kids are not slackers by no means!!!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@kathleengreen9660 I agree, they are all hard workers.

[@feliciar2773]

At least you got the beef bologna. That's better than the regular odds and ends bologna LOL😂😂😂 I get Noah though, a good bologna sandwich taste dang good sometimes. Plus it reminds me of when I was younger, of simpler times and certain memories😊

Tomato basil are very good.

[@marykeegan2606]

Heather: I noticed that you bought a True Lemon flavor pack for Josh’s water. The company True Citrus is really great. You can order from them directly-they have great sales sometimes and wonderful customer service. I use their powdered lemon for my tea, since I often will not use a whole lemon before it spoils. I purchase the bulk lemon, and keep it in a jar. They also have seasoning mixes which are salt and sweetener free. It’s so nice to watch your family. I’m the oldest of 8-6 boys and 2 girls.

Boxed Mac n cheese. Will last for decades. I was just making 22 Year Powder Kool aid. I was so delicious.

[@CatsLair]

Expiration date of May 2023 wouldn’t taste any different than if it wasn’t expired. Now if it expired May 2022, that would be a different story.

[@nancyanne1402]

No it wouldn’t make a difference. I wouldn’t question anything dated as far back as 2020. Probably longer. I try to rotate but occasionally find a stray item that missed rotation. People that throw food away because it’s a few month past the date drive me crazy. Only rich folks can toss fiod like that.

[@talklikeahick2u877]

Do you have an Amish farm near you? They make great bologna without the unnecessary stuff. Love that Josh watches his money and thinks over his purchases. When he put his head on your shoulder I said AWWW.

[@carolynturk-hu7je]

We had the Velveeta block too Heather. We had it for grilled cheese sandwiches. Remember the cheese slicer?

Im with you on bologna but if you are near a super good meat market you can purchase ring bologna and it is much better than the regular stuff. My dad owned a small market/ fruit stand up in Pennsylvania and I just loved the fresh meat and fruit and veggies 😊. No Kraft for me 😂 I also grew up eating that stuff.

Do you know anything about planting trees Mama Bell ? My mom ordered some trees from a tree Foundation that uses the money from the trees that people buy to do good and she didn't realize that the trees were going to get sent so late. We live in Michigan in the thumb about 45 minutes to an hour away from the Lakes. We just had our first Frost last night. She's not getting the trees until November 1st. can they be planted? Even if it's just your opinion I will definitely take that. Just thought I would ask, since you guys have a farm. May know more about outdoor stuff like that than I do lol. And also figured I would ask because maybe more likely that you would see the message since there's only 14 comments on here thus far. I think you're a pretty smart cookie😊 so thought I would ask❤ also if anybody else wanted to comment and give their opinion / knowledge I would definitely appreciate it. I know there is Google but I like information from a direct source better....❤your channel and your family😊

[@makeuplover6852]

Yes this is actually a perfect time to plant trees, I'm in Canada we have very similar winters like yours. You will need a "soaker hose" for the first little while ( I think). I suggest looking up the specific type of tree you are getting, then look up you tube videos on specific instructions on how to plant it in your region.

The kids that have their own places to live and or make money need to pay for their own groceries,it is part of budgeting and being responsible

[@arioaks12]

From what I’ve seen they do pay for their own things, only the ones who live with her still have their groceries payed for because they live in her household.

[@legony1]

@@arioaks12 Not true. She’s extremely generous to a fault and pays for the older ones’ often. There’s nothing wrong with being generous, but the older ones aren’t learning how to budget.

[@arioaks12]

@@legony1 we only see a small sniping of her life. I would assume that she blesses and helps out her kids, but we have to remember that we only see portions of her/their lives. Some family vloggers over share and spoil their kids to extremes making them unable to do things on their own, but after watching her channel for a while I truly don’t believe she is like that. I think that she has raised these kids to be amazing young adults given some of the situations they were in before they came to her.

[@gregramirez2935]

@@jgreer2288 he is a great example of how disabled people should be treated. He is a prime example on how disabled people are able to do everything like normal people. and that’s why he is a bold. His parents don’t treat him like disabled, but able to do everything else. His brothers and sisters are doing. That’s how parents of disabled people should be doing . Bravo to him and his parents.

[@teresajones2207]

He was a shaken baby he is doing so good.

[@gregramirez2935]

@@teresajones2207 what I love about mom and dad bell is the fact that they treat Joshua like they treat their other kids. If something were to happen to mom and dad, bell, Josh would be able to live by himself and do the necessary things for an income. They are doing the right thing and treating an adult Who can get a job or create his own business in order to survive. When I saw them doing this, It brought a tear to my eyes, because as a retired child psychologist, I worked with three Young adults that have been shaken baby syndrome, and the parents were so over protective dad it was hard for them to become functioning adults. They were afraid for them to make mistakes, for them to get a job, etc. It took me over a year to get them at a point what mom and dad Bell and Joshua do something every month to show The techniques, what the hell they treated, Joshua, so other parents can learn from their example with kids that have shaken baby syndrome. Again, they did a fantastic job on Joshua and there. Are being shown every day. I hope everything makes sense because due to my disability and when I am in the worst pain possible because my pain levels are 10+ that I wanted to make sense for the sake of all.
