Great haul Tom! Judah looks more like you every day. Justice is getting so tall. Hope you all had a great 4th. Thanks for sharing.

Inflation probably had something to do with the increase too. That and extra holiday items. Sorry, I had to fast forward thru the boys. It just made me too dizzy. Since there are people home, why not use the crock pot more often? Put a roast and potatoes or chicken or meatballs or something on it in the morning. It would help with better meals and less money in groceries. I never realized what benefits meal planning* had until I did it. I can only do a week at a time. You can put everything in the crock pot in the morning and come home to dinner! Especially in this heat. Love crock pot cooking. So easy and quick.

[@debgordon6542]

Using a crockpot/slow cooker is "idiot proof". Put meat, some veggies and a bottle of Italian dressing on low for 6-8 hrs. It'll become your best friend :-).

[@malina1239]

@@debgordon6542 I bought a slow cooker a few years ago, but I hardly use it. To me and my daughter it makes the food taste metallic 😢 The liners make the food taste “plasticy” , so I just can’t do it.. I’ve made bone broth , stews, roasts and apple butter . But no matter if it’s sweet or savory , it just goes to waist. It’s so sad, because it’s a real handy way to make food. Do you or anyone else reading this, have a tip on how to get rid of the metallic taste???

[@terrihartlep8094]

@@malina1239 I have ever heard anyone say cooking in a slow cooker/crock pot gives food a metallic taste. I sure don't think it does either. It must be something with your sense of taste.

You guys can save a lot of time bring those groceries in if you did an assembly line. The way you do it is everyone’s running in and out of the house but if people were lined up and you pass things from one person to another, those groceries would be in there in no time. Js

[@mimi0424]

Just found your channel...it was suggested after seeing the Dougherty Dozen. You have a list..you look at prices etc. You could teach that family so much. They waste so much money. I honestly think that one of them work to buy food & other things they waste $$ on. It's unbelievable..ppl have suggested many things but I don't think they care..I can't in good conscience watch them anymore..all her kids (some were adopted) will grow up and there may not be a KZbin channel bc its based strictly on grocery hauls and making food for the kids. Nothing wrong with spending $$ bc kids eat alot..but when you buy a tub of popcorn for a 5 year old @ the movies w candy..or ranch dip cups @ $5.99 instead of putting it on a plate it's wasteful. They are not rich by any means..to each their own I guess. Anyways I love your list & how you guys figure out the best deal. Responsible spending!! You're teaching them right!

[@canadiangirltravelstheworl278]

Can save a lot of money by pre making your own pbjs and freezing them individually. Buying a big box of plain oatmeal and adding your own toppings, apples and cinnamon, or cinnamon and sugar, brown sugar, can also be a big savings. Unfortunately by the fall all the prices will be up again by 25 percent.

No, we didn't live on a farm, but we always had a garden. Kudos on raising your children in a Christian home. God will always come first in my life. You have a beautiful family.

It is true, the UK is much cheaper, but that's not Tom fault. As for convenience food, you try holding down a job & looking after that much children & see if you don't rely on convenience food, too. And, if you say you wouldn't, you're either deluded to the situation, or lying. Either way, you try being in that situation, then let me know how you handle it.

I don't know what it is about grocery hauls but I love them. Maybe it's because grocery shopping has always been one of my favorite things to do. The Mills Family shopping trips are top of the list for me. I noticed they buy Suave Cherry Blossom Shampoo. A man on KZbin who has a great head of hair & told not long ago he has only used Suave Cherry Blossom for years. His Walmart has not carried it for some time & very frustrating. So he ordered online. He said cannot imagine not being able to get it. Glad to see Solly got some Legos I assume with birthday money. He just melts my heart with his shy. sensitive tender heart.

You could save so much money if you shopped at a Sam's Club or Costco! Don't you have an Aldis, Dollar Tree or Dollar General? The shampoos, deodorants and other non food is half the price or less than Wal Mart!

[@TheMillsFamilyVlog]

Yes definitely a great idea! Unfortunately the nearest Costco is 300 miles away and the nearest Sam’s Club is 150 miles away, so it really just isn’t worth it. We do have a dollar tree, I do sometimes go there. Ultimately it takes more time to go to multiple places, and I have figured out that often you’re not saving much money as the portion sizes are a lot smaller at dollar tree. I guess ultimately time is more valuable than money at this point lol!
