I’ve been sick with Covid and your videos have helped me get through it. Thank you.

[@cathybier506]

Good morning! We are just going into winter, so windy and cold , not looking forward to snow! God Bless you and your wonderful family!

[@veronicagaroni5952]

If you shopped at Aldi this would be so much cheaper. I know your Aldi isn't close to home but you would still save so much. They have a lot of the same brands now. Love your videos.

[@tammydistefano8178]

I think Devon is like American bologna?? I had to look it up!! Love watching it’s like a mini vacation to Australia without the cost of travel!

[@Favouriteaunty]

It's been terrible weather flooding and all I'm in Australia as well from sunny coast and its hot as thank god for air con though I would melt lol

[@tonideluca8569]

Another great grocery haul. Thank you for sharing. God bless 🙏🙏🙏

[@leekorten1791]

I enjoyed watching your shopping trip, it is so frustrating when you forget items you went to get but at least you managed to remember most of it. You're looking wonderful, sending love 💞

Loved the video hi from NSW blue mountains area, rained alot here and its like winter here, fires on and very cold. We are wishing for sunny warm days. We love lamingtons great variety in the shopping.

[@leonettacook923]

Greetings from Kentucky, USA. Love to see the different options for groceries. Thanks for sharing.

[@cindyarmstrong8040]

Love your channel. So interesting to see different things then what we have in the States. But mainly for your beliefs in our Lord and always ending with "God Bless." Please have a blessed Christmas holiday 🙏💓🙏.

[@victoriasprague7014]

The wraps that you just showed is called flour tortillas here in the United States

[@TheRaeRae55]

This was really interesting to watch. I laughed seeing the “American” mustard

[@Klay7937]

Devon is the best. If you go to Bidfood or other places where you can bulk buy that food businesses use they are also open to the public. A 12 pk carton of wraps, larger size wraps has 12 per pack in them. It would be so much cheaper but you need the freezer space & to go to another shop which is not the most convenient when you have so much shopping to do. Do you do flybuys or WW rewards? Do you have a vegie garden?

[@ashromero1987]

I love your videos! Neat to see how the other side of the world lives! U.S. here, Louisiana! Much love!*

[@KimberlyBimberly1]

So as I had a look at the ingredients, I have decided that Devon is Australian bologna, basically.

[@jojoply]

I thought maybe spam

[@marietajalle391]

Always enjoy your grocery hauls. You have things I have never heard of. God bless. Love from the island of Guam 🌴💗🎄🌴

[@debramage739]

You are so right Jeni , with the prices, 50 cent here and a dollar over here. Hubby can't believe the price rise. Eat well my friend, I think you will. Love Deb in Melbourne

[@karbear26]

Never heard of Lammington fingers! They sound yummy! The avocado Mayo sounds good too!

[@vickigibson438]

Missed you guys. Glad to see you are doing well. Enjoy putting them away.

[@Rose274]

Your family is beautiful🥰. Wishing you all love, health and happiness always.

[@sheilaperl4155]

I love your grocery hauls, so many different products!

[@LisaofHopewell]

Love Lamingtons! I tried them with Aussie friends in Malawi a long time ago. So good.

[@ruthtingle7219]

Your flybys points must accumulate so quickly, do u always activate all the special and bonus points before each shop??

[@TheBonellFamily]

I try and get as many points as I can. I've only redeemed points twice so I have "quite a few" left hahaha

[@FrugalFunMum]

We call Devon - Fritz here in SA! Fritz and Sauce Sandwiches are the best!!!

[@robertwatson3775]

And we call it Polony here in WA 🤣 it's funny how we have different names for the same thing .x

[@joannemott71]

I really enjoyed watching your grocery haul. I am in Canada so it is interesting seeing some of the things we don’t have here lol 😂. If I bought that much here it would have cost around $1300.00. Have a wonderful day and God Bless 🙏🇨🇦

[@mrskbraz]

Hi - first time viewing- is this a weekly shop ? Or a monthly shop ? Also understand the hair ties disappearing act happens here on the regular (here is Hobart, Tassie )

[@louisesproul6778]

I will send you snow if you send me heat!!! Here in Michigans Eastern Upper Peninsula we ate getting a snowstorm. Up to 12 inches from 1 this afternoon to 2 am. It's 30 degrees farinheight here.

[@Alice6548]

Have you noticed things gone up in past 2 weeks . The reject shop had same rice 1 doll for kg

[@maryross4488]

Lots of milk cool drink and milo for thirsty days in that heat. Take care all xxx

[@bonnie3994]

I love your channel so many different things an love seeing if I can find it here in the store where I live. Love your groceries haul plus the meals you make. Great video

[@rseward7183]

What types of potatos do you use with which recipes. In my experience, red potatos work better than russets when making a stew

[@lynneanthony168]

I love your grocery hauls. We don't have Lamingtons here. :( (east coast Canada 🇨🇦)

[@sharonheller6565]

I love when you food shop because it's just me now so I don't shop like that anymore. Thanks so much fun.

[@patriciaevans1129]

I enjoy watching when y'all go grocery shopping and see something different

[@karbear26]

Me too!

[@kittyrhyder]

Hi Jen been watching you for a little while now but still dont know the children's names. Would be handy if you perhaps made a new intro with names and include grandchildren etc :)) So glad you seem to be doing so well and I will take this opportunity for wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas take care Love from Shepparton xox

[@michelemcgill1720]

Loved watching the grocery haul. It's nice seeing products I'm familiar with. About how long will that last? It's good to see you looking so well.

[@Diwondermum]

Jen l agree! We here in Victoria are having 30+ days! And it’s so sticky!! Great haul guys!

[@kristinastevenson8256]

If you go back to the store and have the money and storage space I would get a few more packs of toilet paper and a few things you know you all eat because with this new variant I would try to stock up a little bit more so then that way if what happened last year happens again then you will be stocked up on things you eat.

[@Leelee...]

Always interesting to see your grocery hauls,, so many nice things!!

[@victoriaspringle4873]

Interesting differences between USA and Australia. Special, pertaining to food, would be either Sale or Clearance, depending on store and location in USA. Those pre-cooked roast chickens from the store would be called “Rotisserie Chickens”. I’ll take your word on the Lemingtons (?). Milo is hot chocolate powder?

[@TheBonellFamily]

Milo is a choc malt powder you mix with milk

[@LisaofHopewell]

Do a laundry video. Also how you organize the kids' stuff?

[@LisaofHopewell]

Do you not shop restaurant supply places? Bigger sizes? Not criticizing, just curious. I love your shopping videos. So interesting.

[@84vintage]

The corn thins are really yummy with peanut butter and sliced banana on top!

[@patricecoronato3760]

God bless you all! Much love from monee, Illinois, u.s.a.

How did you go when the shops were putting limits on quantities?

[@sherylbrown6943]

I’m from New South Wales and we called Devon … FRITZ . Now I live in Western Australia 🇦🇺 and they call itPOLONY. 😀one small country 3 different names for it . I can’t remember what it’s called in Queensland ? And Victoria ? And Northern Territory and Tasmania. . Are there more names for here in the other states in OZ. . . .?

[@iraynalee3570]

I think its Devon for the Eastern States I get strange looks when I ask for fritz! 😅🤣🤣

[@mrskbraz]

I’m Tasmanian and I’ve always known it as Belgian no idea why it was called that though lol

[@rosiered5236]

Devon in Qld

[@carmenlawrence1980]

Devon! I haven't had it in years. I don't care what anyone says there is no substitute. Devon is so yummy !

[@kaesch2770]

So it’s kinda a weird thought, but when y’all have Christmas during the summer, are the movies different? Like all our Christmas movies and shows are all snowy and winter themed. How do y’all decorate for Christmas? We have snowflakes and snowmen and snow globes, and Santa’s all dressed warm… I’m from hot south Texas so it’s normally still hot here, we just pretend like it’s winter though. 😂

[@aliwaugh5033]

We do like you do in Texas. Santa is dressed warm and we get all the American movies. We have many Aussie traditions though - like many families have cold meats and salads for Christmas lunch, and we’ve recreated many Christmas carols (Aussie Jingle Bells, Aussie 12 days of Christmas). Our Christmas Day is spent eating on the deck with family and swimming in the pool.

[@janesecaraway3995]

Your Devon sounds like our bologna? From Montgomery al 🙏 ❤

[@fake4387]

Really enjoy these

[@jojoply]

No Lamington fingers here. No 100’s and 1000’s either. 😑

[@carlawatsonmizgerd7899]

I was wondering do you grow any kind of vegetables. If you don't have space even some patio container tomatoes?

[@sandrah.callmesandi.3699]

Nice shopping trip.

[@shirleyfretty487]

Thanks for sharing guys!!!! Pray you don't get the new Omicron Virus out there!!!

[@melissafinlay7528]

I really wish my coles in Victoria sold that green milk. I love lime milk

[@lorelei9393]

Always interesting. Your French dressing is not like American. Ours is orange and varies between brands. Some spicy, some sweet. Yours looks like a creamy Italian. Thx for sharing

[@Sonja...]

Are the savoury platters for a snack or dinner?

[@susanwilliams768]

Enjoy your videos

[@McCreaFamilyHomestead]

Y’all’s prices must be great cause that amount of food would be well over $1000 here. I have 3 boys my hubby and myself and spend about $1100 a month.

Can you please tell me what CORN THINS would be in the US?

[@traceyh8660]

Have you ever tried fried strazz? It becomes spicier in my opinion. Well Don strassman does. Bit different than bacon for a change.

[@michelleteel8792]

The French dressing looked so different than what they call French in The United States ours is either red or orange it’s good it’s a little sweet but if you use a little French and ranch it goes well together.

[@gloriabeggs3151]

Our french dressing in Canada is red.

Your grocery haul are the best. I hope you and your family are doing well. Christmas 🎄is coming soon. God bless. I am sorry to ask but could you pray for my daughter she is looking for a job in a doctor office. Or in. The hospital. Or blood work.

[@cperi2583]

Do you think you will ever update your intro? It would be nice to see updated pics of your family, and maybe in age order?

Hope you get home soon

[@janedoe3095]

Aussie to US translations: 3 liter milk to 1 gallon I believe a gallon is a little bigger. Ice blocks = popsicles.mince = hamburger? Devon = petite bologna. Twiggy sticks = salami or beef sticks. 2 minute noodle = cup o’ noodles. Wraps = flour tortillas. Clear lemonade? Cordials = juice or punch concentrate. Creamed rice = rice pudding. Love the different flavor Mayo. Is the bottled tomato sauce what we call catsup or ketchup.laming-ton fingers = missing out. Corn thins = rice cakes? Hundreds and thousands unknown. Milo unknown. Cotton buds = cotton swabs.

[@TheBonellFamily]

yes mince is hamburger/ground beef, our tomato sauce is your ketchup - your tomato sause is our pasta sauce, hundreds and thousands are cake 'sprinkles', milo is a malt chocolate powder you add to milk and drink either hot or cold, corn thins are rice cakes ;-) and yes our lemonade is clear (it's softdrink)

[@alyssamariemiller1607]

That is a great amount of food for that price.

[@robertwatson3775]

Could you just use some normal snags for your hot dogs. Both work well. X

[@christieflesch3750]

I would like those lamington I love coconut

[@cl6107]

Wouldn't you save more buying from the butcher and fruit n veg shops?
