NEW RULES GROCERY HAUL - I'm so tired of doing groceries!! - Mum of 16

[@donnaharrison7947]

I always enjoy watching you shopping hauls .thank you for your vlog .

[@kezza82]

Even tho I dont have big family, I write my list like u and always buy cheapest and save the difference I'm finally out of debt so greatful

[@GoddardFamily]

Great haul thanks for sharing! I still would love to see some day in the life videos from you, as a mum of six I love seeing large family mums manage life.

[@Blessedbears]

Looks like you were able to get some good items that you all needed! I love seeing the different packaging and names for items you have! I truly truly plan to take my entire family to Australia just once! I can’t wait! Perhaps in a couple years! My oldest son is so drawn to your country and always has been! God bless you all! It’s lovely getting meal ideas from you!

[@vickiejohnson5821]

Your girls are so sweet to help you out with the shopping . Stay safe and happy we will all get over this with a happy heart and a smile on our face..love your videos.

[@michelemcgill1720]

I feel for larger families, it's a struggle being limited to 2 items, if you can find it at all. I shop for my elderly mum in a retirement village that no longer drives, so she can't get to the shops and of course the village bus isn't running. I can usually shop within 30 minutes. It's amazing what I have found in my freezer. I have got quite creative with meals. I have always had back up supply of SR and plain flour in the freezer. Have just cracked open the last of that. I did get a 9 pack of toilet paper. I didn't need it and as it turns out neither did mum or my aunty so I was able to pass that on to a work mate that was desperate.

[@TheBonellFamily]

Just want to say thank you for being such a beautiful soul and passing on what you didn't need to someone who did. if everyone did this, there would be no issues with the grocery supplies and everyones needs would be taken care of. God bless.

[@yikfam]

wow! shopping within 30 mins wasn't even doable shopping for my household of 5! Great video!

[@suzanneedmonds1566]

As an Aussie living in the US I like watching your grocery buying videos to hear Aussie food terms, seeing the Coles name and seeing Aussie food items. Somehow it helps me feel connected to Australia. When I went shopping a day ago I was lucky to find some thin slices of sirloin tip steak so I can make an Aussie steak sandwich. Whilst steak sandwiches are sold here they are totally different from a fish and chip shop steak sandwich. I hope you find/found some ice cream.

[@TheBonellFamily]

yes I found ice-cream at woolies and it was on special so that was lucky. Ahh yes a good steak sandwich is the best - steak, onion, tomato, beetroot, pickles and sauce is buttery fried bread. Mmmmm, making me hungry ;-) Hope it doesn't make you too homesick for OZ

[@carerforever2118]

G'day from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺😀👍

[@kayleyelliott4263]

I'm English and a lot of your Australian sayings are the same as ours xxx

[@muttonchop271]

Minties and 'nek minute' sounds kiwi but looks ozzie

[@kirstenboo]

Omg! It's just my husband and I and I'm already overwhelmed. To say that "you are a super mom" is an understatement! Great job! Will continue watching you and your lovely family. Stay safe!

[@kristencurtis7410]

I really enjoyed your video, love the honesty and sense of humor. I’m really ready for things to go back to normal too!

[@traceycosta9196]

So glad you guys were able to get a good shop done and luckily, some restrictions lifted. I was struggling with a small family so couldn’t even imagine what it must be like for your size family. You guys are awesome! Your daughter is so good to help you and partake in your videos which is a sign you’ve done your job well💕 As for the Lipton Iced Tea, yeah my teen daughters discovered the mango ones and luckily have been half price a bit lately and on the shelf😂 Would love to see some cook with me or recipe videos. I admire what you can achieve with a large family xoxo

[@thefrugalmomma]

You are so good and honest, if I had 16 to feed and there were restrictions I'd be doing two seperate transactions with the two seperate trollys! I'd feel it very justified due to the quantities you need.

[@Blessedbears]

We have never had hot cross buns! They look good! Your “pegs” we call “clothes pins” What an amazing idea to use them for forts! Thanks! I have never heard that Kleenex actually made rolls of toilet paper! Awesome! They only make the small wipes here that you use for your nose. We LOVE Nutella Sandwiches here! Yum! Thanks for sharing! Have a lovely week!!!!

[@angelika_munkastrap4634]

Don't worry you're not missing anything with the Kleenex toilet rolls, they're crap, much like the nose wipes. Lol Hot cross buns are soooo good, and so popular in Australia that they come in many flavours now, there's original Fruited, original no fruit, choc chip, chocolote, caramel and mocha are a few. In the olden days when Australia used the wooden clothes pegs they were sometimes called pins too but when the plastic ones were invented, pegs, pretty much became the main word for them, but it depends where you're from, I've heard both said here

[@lindabenn7771]

Blessed Bayers they are amazing. Watching from Canada

[@gloriapeel6887]

Great haul! So happy it went good for you!

[@heatherwoods296]

I'm so glad you were able to get everything you need at the grocery store I was worried for your family being so large and with the restrictions... praise God for the blessings :) God is Good

[@lisawright9409]

Wow you scored well! In our local Coles we are still enduring panic buying. No pasta, toilet paper, no flour, no sugar. I live in a rural area so makes it tricky. So happy you managed to get your groceries for the week. Stay safe. 🌈

[@louisesproul6778]

Biscuits here are a bread that you put honey, butter or jelly on or use them to soak up gravy. Cookies are chocolate chip, peanut butter, sugar, molasses, oatmeal or a number of others that you buy in the packages. The cake rolls are little Debbie's here.

[@alanamaree2470]

It is exhausting to keep worrying about it. I ended up finding a shop that sells in bulk to restaurants etc and went there to shop for essentials like flour etc. You did well with your shop though ladies!!! Smashed it 💞🇭🇲

[@tammysarrazin7078]

here we have red lines to stand at until aloud in then you have to follow the arrows for how to shop its crazy lol hugssssss from Canada

[@rosemarie6545]

Surprisingly, we buy the same basic items when we go food shopping, from Alabama to Australia, we are so much alike. Different brands and less amounts of course. Our children flew the coop many years ago, we are two retirees. I love those roasted chickens from the grocery deli, we get three meals out of one, then I simmer the bones with celery, carrots and onion for soup broth for yet another day. I will be glad when our social isolation is over and life gets back to normal. Best wishes and God Bless!

[@RaisingHouseandHome]

We just did a grocery run here in the US. We keep getting new rules too! Our shelves are still empty of many items and there are limits on most foods. I was able to get a nice roast today for the first time in over a month. The boys are excited to have some beef this weekend. Love your videos and your family! Please stay safe!

[@georginachapman1672]

I was so over shopping and thinking about food and running out all the time that I ended up making lists and spreading my shopping between the 2 wollies in town and the 2 coles 2 aldis and our smaller local igas and food works fruit shops and butchers. It took me all day but I managed to do our large family shopping for about 4 weeks with just some milk and bread top ups from the local food works in between.

[@michelleleza6661]

I love watching your videos. So I from Texas and we're having the same shortages but this weekend I noticed the pasta shortage and soup shortages. Along with some meat, flour, milk,eggs. Thank you for your vidoes and be safe

[@TheSlowens]

You did good Jeni...so happy for you guys. I'm NOW waiting for the gelatin recipe!! 😀 stay well...and God Bless...the buns looked yummy..

[@JaniceGDavis]

I love to see the different foods available in your country. I live in USA. We order groceries from Walmart and drive by for pickup. They put them in your car with no contact. You have to schedule a time. Five days ago I got an appointment for Monday morning between 7-8. It was the first available. Kids are excited to be getting treats. Never heard of green milk. What flavor is it? Love your family!!

[@claire221287]

We have that in Australia we call it click and collect, it has been suspended over the last few weeks as it was overwhelmed when the panic buying started. They have brought it back but it and delivery are only for priority shopper or those collecting for priority shoppers ie elderly, disabled, those with or who have been exposed to covid and the immune compromised.

[@clarefullston5939]

@UChE_e5O6DiKuyFA0V00uC-A green milk is normally spearmint/peppermint flavoured.

[@TheBonellFamily]

the green milk is lime flavoured

[@patriciaevans1129]

I enjoy watching the videos, I live here in the USA and I like to compare your grocery with ours keep up the excellent videos!!!!

[@michellereale9777]

You are such a calm and capable mother!

[@sheilaperl4155]

So glad you were able to get what you needed!

[@louisesproul6778]

Pegs are clothes pins here. Soft drinks are pop in some states soda in the others.

[@mollypadilla5734]

Lol you two are like a ray of sunshine. Love your vibes 😊

[@zerozilchnada5373]

Congratulations on your shopping success. Tfs & take care 🌺😷🙏🇦🇺🤗💝

[@lucindalove7606]

I looooove the sign on the shaping cart! I have six children and the LOOKS and rude comments I got after staying home for the first 3 weeks from employees was AWFUL! I should have made the brilliant signs for my cart!!!🤣😂🤣😂LOVE this! Thanks for sharing! You are an inspiration!

[@melissakleyn2638]

Hey there! What a beautiful family you have! I just stumbled across your channel. We are in Melb and the supermarkets situation is not fun! I shall go and binge watch your channel now. God bless xx

[@TheBonellFamily]

Thank you. Hope you enjoy it :-)

[@sallyshuttleworth9222]

I also like the wooden pegs. They seem to last longer than the plastic ones. However i have had to stop using them this summer because the 28s (parrots) love to eat them off my line and just leave the metal bit behind,,,

[@jenniferanne6168]

Hi there you should look into reducing your plastic. You could make your own fabric bags to use for your produce, and take your own shopping bags. A great message to teach to your family. Looking after the environment.

[@vegemitegirl1971]

We're in rural SA but were in America 4.5 years ago. Our son was then 16.5 and got addicted to iced peach tea. He's now 21 and still loves it

[@DLRyoung]

Oh I can’t wait to see what happens with the jell agent. I love Lipton tea. I even brew my own sometimes and just add less sugar. Glad restrictionists are lifted a bit. Seen a news story about farmers pouring milk out I think that’s why they lifted that one. Thanks for sharing!

[@carerforever2118]

G'day from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺😀👍 I ordered $600 worth of food online from Woolworths, it arrived at my house today. Got FREE delivery!

[@TheWishListFamily]

You did a good shop. Well done! I would have forgot most of that

[@faithfletcher8740]

I live in Alabama (Southern U.S.), and we have a limit of one or two items on most essentials. We only have a family of four, but I had to go to four stores to get everything we needed. Our grocery prices have also gone up. Normally I would spend around $300 for two weeks, but because prices are up due to supply and demand issues, I’m now spending closer to $500.

[@terrylynn9984]

In Canada for a family of 4 I spend on average 300 a week, a decade ago I spent 170 a week for a family of 4.......last time I spent 150 weeks was over 15 years ago.

[@barbaralent5559]

Hi Jeni, I think you did well at Coles didn’t know about the thirty minute shop time though even I, only shopping for myself, would not have made in and out in thirty mins. Nice to know not too many restrictions especially on meat and who would have thought TP would have been like gold to get lol! I’m shopping online between Coles and Woolworths and getting most things but still a few restrictions/substitutes but have been trying to order Yeast for weeks now without any success. I do find I can ordered more meat from Coles though and usually packed in smaller portions, without having to repackage into small freezer bags, which is good when you live on your own. However, normally buy bulk meat but not chancing going out just now so Coles it is. Continue to stay safe and well and let’s pray we can get over this a Virus soon🙏❤️

[@bh1958bjbj]

Hello Bonell family. Ok I go to the store for groceries tmrw. I want to let you know that Lipton Tea is big here in the USA. Thank you for sharing your groceries.

[@JenninKanata]

I am so tired of grocery store is not having everything on my list. I am lucky enough that I have friends who go to the shop and I give them a list of things that we need and I'll pick whatever they can find and drop them off here and I e-transfer them as we don't drive and my normal ride is being isolated due to being a senior and health issues. all the stores around here have toilet paper not usually always the big ones they're usually sold out quicker even Costco has toilet paper but it usually runs out by about noon. Stay safe lots of love from Kanata Ontario Canada

[@TheBonellFamily]

Hopefully soon everything will go back to normal with all of our shopping ;-)

[@jennifercousins141]

Good haul! We are in Ireland and have to queue for 20- 45 minutes to get into our supermarkets. We are lucky that we dont really have any shortages and the only thing that I have seen that has limits is hand soap and that is 2 per person. Rice and pasta used to be hard to find but not anymore. Hopefully the measures work and the lockdown will end soon! Thanks your your video! Always very entertaining:)

[@krystynaolszewski6187]

It’s amazing how much food a large family does through.....I’m interested in the way you make the steak sandwiches.

[@Bella-rz5vh]

been watching so much grocery shopping for the past few weeks during co-19 tho :))

[@JenninKanata]

what you should do is make a list and double it and give your daughter a list and she does shopping and you do shopping that way the limits only pertain to per person and then give her a credit card or debit card to pay with.

[@vwmom1969]

Just what I was thinking!!

[@roulahallak]

Would be nice to vlog about how you organize your groceries and maybe show us inside the fridge organizing. Am new to your channel and absolutely addicted to it 😍❤️

[@TheBonellFamily]

I do have plans to do more homestyle videos coming up. Just trying to find the time during all this schooling from home hahaha. Stay tuned and thanks for the great suggestions :-)

[@roulahallak]

Your doing a great job out there 🙌🏻 bless your beautiful family 🙏 all the love from Lebanon 🇱🇧 ❤️

[@cherylhudson5080]

Have you checked out any of the bulk shops like Catch of the Day we buy maybe twice a year we get our laundry, kitchen bathroom cleaners, wipes, toothpaste etc plus we buy treats for our grandchildren on these items there are usually 6 or 8 to cartoon and you are paying anything usually $2.00 cheaper they have a really large selection its a big help.... just saying.... Love your videos and your children are a delight to watch keep up the good work.... TFS

[@lindseysmith143]

I have a much smaller family but our biggest issue is milk, we go through 20-22 pints of milk a week and the limit has been 12 pints per person so forces us to go back twice a week just for milk.

[@camobows7511]

I’d like to see you actually preparing and cooking a meal. Do you prepare meals and freeze them? That would be nice to see. Love watching your videos!

[@jessann5581]

Melanie Bailey yes she does do that

[@Sonja...]

Ditto

[@victoriaivy5953]

With your tomato/bbq sauces have you ever though to buy a big one and put a squeeze lid on it. It might be harder for the smaller kids to use though 🤔 or you can get the big bottle and refill the smaller ones? No shade it’s just what I do :) there’s only myself and my partner though (no kids yet haha)

[@blhummel4959]

If you shop each..alone...can you each pick up milk etc.? If it says two per shopper/cart, then if your daughter has a cart and pays separate can she purchase two more?

[@Sonja...]

Love your guys sense of humour and smiling faces 😊

[@RockSimmer-gal4God]

There where rules in the U.K. for wat u buy but now recommend limits but not needed. We have the shopping alone rule and need to queue and be quick. It worries me. We are also not allowed to go too often. I deffo want normal life back.

[@mommabear2many]

Shopping, meal prep for a large family is tiring. I think I have a plan..then you need to rethink your plan when things are out.

[@suzannemeub4470]

I do grocery to go at several stores .. works great !

[@teresadoyle1396]

We have had limits here (🇨🇦) for a while now as to how many are allowed in the stores at one time and line ups outside most of the time. It isn’t pleasant in the cold but it is what we have to do right now. I have only gone once in the past month as I needed things at the pharmacy that are expensive and I knew my husband wouldn’t know what to get and where you can’t return them I had to go...😒😒😒 Glad you had a successful trip today. Stay well!

[@crystalcurrie2393]

I did shopping yesterday at colse. And they made me pack my own. Was so stupid . They pick up the product, scan the product. Put it where they normally put bags, then I had to put them in bags. Took forever. I had to wait 15mins to just get to the check out

[@missnobby86]

Crystal Currie it’s so they don’t touch your bags. They can show you that they are using hand sanitiser between customers but you can’t prove that you’ve disinfected your bags. These amazing essential workers in grocery stores deserve the highest amount of safety and if it adds 15 mins to your day I think that is very little to ask for and you might need to reassess your empathy for others at this time.

[@rubyred3580]

Oh wow so STUPID of grocery store workers to want to avoid infection as much as possible. I can't believe how STUPID it is that people don't want to risk their lives to put away my groceries!! People are DYING everywhere and you're mad that you had to spend an extra fifteen minutes picking up your shit and putting it in bags? Get over it. They're risking themselves enough as it is just working in those stores, it's much higher risk of infection than in an office or something, where you can control the amount of people who come in and out. Maybe think outside of yourself for two seconds and understand that this is a life or death situation and there are more important things at stake than satisfying your entitlement.

[@TheBonellFamily]

@@rubyred3580 I don't believe that she was being 'entitled' at all. After just having all the single use bags banned and being strongly 'encouraged/told' to bring our own bags from home, it is quite inconvenient to be packing them ourselves but I do understand it's from a safety prospective. Perhaps whether it's in a grocery store, on the street or even online, we were all a little bit kinder to each other, then some of the frustrations would be easier to handle ;-)

[@rubyred3580]

@@TheBonellFamily I understand that perspective but I disagree. She didn't say, "I get that this is a safety measure but it's still frustrating" which I would understand. She straight up said that it was stupid, implying that she doesn't think they should be allowed this safety measure. At this point in time, I think this attitude is inexcusable. The fact that someone can unironically begrudge a grocery store worker, who is usually barely being paid a living wage for already risking their lives as it is, basic safety measures during a global pandemic at the price of having to take an extra fifteen minutes out of their day is absolutely disgusting.

[@rubyred3580]

@@TheBonellFamily And yeah, single use bags are banned. That is a very minor inconvenience. Personally I don't understand how people weren't already making a habit of using reusable bags, considering that it is an incredibly easy way to make an environmental difference, but I digress. We're all making sacrifices; having to *bag your own groceries* is probably one of the most negligible things that people are being asked to do. I understand complaining about it, but I do not understand saying that it's stupid and honestly thinking that the inconvenience of bagging your own groceries trumps *basic safety precautions* for grocery store workers. That is revolting.

To bad you can’t bring birth certificate to manager to let you buy more food. This limit thing is not right for big family’s. Why should a family of two get the same amount as a family of 16 or 5. It’s crazy.

I am so with you on being so over all this! Not in any ways of uncaring about people... just the system doesn’t WORK for families like ours. Today we got an 18 pack of toilet paper at Target and I was thinking.. ok so this won’t last long at all! Lol 😂 Then only one item at Sams Club... one very large bag is one meal if we’re lucky! We might have to send in the oldest son, Husband and all do different purchases, otherwise it’s a trip every other day to the store! I’m so glad it wasn’t so bad for you all this time! It’s hit and miss for us at times! We can’t hardly find corn tortillas which are a HUGE staple for us as were gluten free! So we keep saying “what’s the deal with everyone wanting corn tortillas?” Everyone else gluten free too? Lol 😂

[@tiggy4204]

If you are concerned about managing to buy all you need in one shop could two or more of your older children either go shopping behind you duplicating half/quarter of your shop or once they get used to where everything is go shopping half way through the week as it will really help them when they want to live independently? Just a thought, hope its useful. X

Organic care hair stuff is soo bad seriously i lost so much hair when i used it and after looking online i saw heaps of others had the same experience so switch to sukin hair products theyre aussie and good and you can order 1L bottles from chemist warehouse i also believe they sell them at coles.

[@Blessedbears]

EmmaAppleBerry what kind? I am so curious.

[@EmmaAppleBerry]

@@Blessedbears organic care thats the brand name here in australia. The entire brand its not a certain scent or whatever either. Theyre aware of it too yet theyve done nothing and will actively ignore people and delete or block them so they cant comment on their pages etc. Its the one she showed in the video. Its basically the cheapest 'natural' generic brand you can get at most places so its pretty common. I use to use it as a student and my earlh twenties. I have hip length hair and always had a lot of thin hair so it appears verh thick and volumous never had issues with my hair before and using organic care made me lose so much of it and damaged the hair that was left and took a year after i stopped using it before my hair was somewhat normal again and i had to do heaps of oil treatments and basically only wash mg hair every 3 days or more because my hair was so fragile like and i never used heat on my hair and its natural no dye or anything like my nickname was rapunzel my hairs always been super nice without trying grows well is shiny healthy etc so like it was super obvious for me after a month of using organic care hair i noticed and i figured maybe it was a phase of my hair or change in enevironment etc so i stopped and used basic herbal essence stuff and my hair wasnt improved but it did stop getting worse and then idk why but like a year later i tried a different sort of the same brand thinking the original one was too harsh or something idk it mightve been on sale or already at my grandmas who i moved in with either way i used it thinking it was a fluke the first time but nope happened again handfuls of hair like mh hair so so loose just brushing it i got handfuls and then usually if you brush i before a shower then theres no loose hair that ends up in the drain but when id spread the conditioner through and gently massage it or finger comb loosely id still have chunks of hair it got so bad that my scalp began getting sores on it like bloody scab type sores i couldnt even brush my hair my scalp physically hurt like it was sunburnt. Just honestly stay away from organic care its evil that and aunt kaths brand the kind thag do the fridge sausage rolls of cookie dough theyre really unsanitary.

[@TheBonellFamily]

Gosh, thats awful to hear you had a bad reaction to that shampoo brand. We have all used it for years with absolutely no problems whatsoever. Maybe some people it's ok for and for others, they react to it.

Is there a reason milk comes in units of 3L? It seems an odd measure🤷

[@rainbowobsidian5313]

It comes in 2L and 1L and 600ml I think as well. Just most families buy 3L as it is more economical than the other sizes.

[@vegemitegirl1971]

No gallon milk sold here.

[@faukerconsulting835]

🧐IF we ever come into this situation again, with the size of your family take a couple of kiddos and each gets a buggy and when a limited item appears that you need, put one in each buggy and let them go through the line with their own items after you...there's nothing to deny anyone's purchases or how or who pays for them because it's like you paying for an others items when on separate transactions 😉👍

Do you feel like since all of this craziness that you're spend more, less or about the same on groceries?

[@TheBonellFamily]

I think overall maybe a little higher with the budget just due to having to buy the branded items. But then I guess I'm also saving a bit too because you go to the store and pretty much stick to your list and don't impulse buy quite as much. So I'm hoping it will all even out in the end ;-)

[@tinobird7941]

I've found it to be more as well due to having to buy name brand stuff where I would normally buy coles brand. Also I've found veggies are a bit more expensive as well!

[@jessann5581]

I have found I spend more as I have to go to the shops every 2/3 day and I have to take kids with me. It just cannot be helped at all. I hate this shit and what my normal shopping back again. It’s just crazy.

[@evelyncastillo1525]

Honestly, I’ve been spending less for food that lasts longer. I bulk buy my meat+poultry and cheese (I freeze it until I use it), but buy the rest by every 2 weeks. I only have to go for bread, fresh fruit, and milk. It saves me money this way, because I ration it out, and have left overs for other days.

Do you have a food budget??

[@TheBonellFamily]

If you watch our grocery haul Q&A video, it explains how i shop and yes, when you average out what I spend it's normally about $600AU per week

Gelatin stinks to high heaven but once it's mixed in to whatever you're making the smell magically goes away 😂

If that breadstick is for 16 people than I’m doing something wrong because I can eat that just by myself in one go with meals.

[@TheBonellFamily]

we make it go around a lot of people but yes, a good piece of fresh bread is delicious all on it's own just for one or two people too ;-)
