It’s crazy that people would be mad at you for your shopping trips. You’re buying food for 12 people for a month, not like some people who bought toilet paper to last them for years 🤦🏻‍♀️ This is not hoarding, it’s a necessary shopping trip. I love watching these videos!

[@cortneydelegan]

Jenning Lai you can tell they have 1-2 of everything and that a lot of it is fresh food. If they had entire carts full of meat, canned goods, toilet paper etc it would be a different story. It’s pretty clear that this is a large family just by looking at them. You can’t really hoard eggs and bananas 😉

I am sure it was to head off folks commenting negatively and lambasting them for not wearing masks.

A tip for holding all those groceries in the car...we use large laundry baskets. You can get 5 or 6 and they stack in one another. They are light weight sturdy and strong. They make carrying them in the house easy too.

[@starbeck96]

This is what we do. We don't have a large family, but we usually do one big bulk shopping trip a month and then do a fill in towards the middle of the month. The laundry baskets work perfectly.

Rose Jacobs when the grocery stores are empty, people are not just being nosy when they call on people who hoard.... it’s out of necessity... And if you can’t buy any food for your own family, I’m sure you would also give dagger looks to someone in the check out lane with 4 carts of meat...

Nope I am a prepper and a homesteader. I find ways to get food that don't involve the grocery store and when I do go there, no I don't call people out and I don't judge.

We freeze and put lots of things in the pantry. In Germany my brother had to go shopping every other day.

I will say, as a Sam’s Club employee that I appreciate when customers wear them. I am protecting my customers by wearing my mask all day and I wish customers felt the same about protecting me from their germs. I have children I am trying to keep safe at home too. The last thing I want to do is bring it home to them. I live in Nebraska too, and realize it isn’t a requirement, but definitely a suggestion.

MomKel as much as I protect myself I try my best to help the staff protect from any harm. I think it’s our duty.. I would not just say ‘it’s my choice not to wear one’ just because all the ‘fit’ people are there around a specific time. Not spreading hate.. just my idea.. because at the end of the day the staff also have families who are waiting on them.

No you are wearing a mask because it's required by your mega corporation.

Hello, I'm from Croatia little country from Balkan and as far as I can see this pasta that you asked about is written on language from Balkan... I'm not sure which one but it may Croatian or Serbian... In this part of world we love to cook and eat clear vegetable or meat soup made from some kind od meat it can be veal, beef, chicken it your choice... Recipe for the soup is that we put cold water in the pot and that add some carrots, potatoes, onions, celery and meat that you choose, add some salt and our mix of season that we called "Vegeta" (it's very nice you should try, we put it on everything) and let that cook on the low heat for 3 hours, once its all cooked we strained liquid in another pot and put that on boil when water boils we put that pasta in, turn the heat on low and cooked that for about 10 minutes and thats it you have nice soup and meat that we serve with some salad... I really don't know if you can use that pasta on some other way but for soups is great.. I'm hoping that I helped you, greetings from Croatia...

I also love moms who encourage their kids - she's always saying "great job!" and they honor God with their lives. This is better than watching a lot of things on tv. - Lots of love from Jamaica

Take asparagus out of bag and stand in glass or deep container with 1/2”-1"water and put in fridge.... Keeps weeks

[@sidneyh11]

Ooh really I didnt know this xx

[@disneyme7110]

You learn something new everyday, mine always gets slimy and smelly if I don't use it up right away, thanks for the tip 👍

[@berbabrinkley2206]

Sandra, thanks for the tip!

[@justpassinthru]

@@berbabrinkley2206 very welcome! I've even had it sprout more green at the top at times. Just depends on how fresh it is. Always look for closed tight tops. I buy 2-3 lbs at a time and always keep at least 2 weeks but have kept longer. Be sure to keep water changed every few days.

I’m surprised you don’t make a lot of popcorn for snacks. So cheap and so good

[@MandyGood]

Linda S I love popcorn!

[@adriennerose9522]

Sarah, I love your little snappy attitude lately. Good for you! You make me smile.

[@hayleyflynn6858]

I love watching your channel. You have an amazing family and you all seem so down to earth. I live in the UK but also shop at Aldi and love it. I love watching your shopping haul. Take care and keep safe

18:57 tarhanas are noodles for soup, you have to cook it for like 10 minuts and it tastes good😊 Btw Thats from Croatia🇭🇷 small Country in Europe greetings from Croatia 👋🏻

[@mamammmv9434]

My husband is Croatian I was going to tell her the same to put them in soup.

[@dusankapanic6963]

Also, it is very good with veggies.

[@giotabou7108]

Tarhanas is a dried food ingredient, based on a fermented mixture of grain and yoghurt or fermented milk . Here in Greece we cook it a lot as a soup, mostly dyring winter time. The best way my mum cook it is to boiled with water and a little bit of olive oil and salt (boiled until the water is absorbed) and then add milk and feta cheese in it (and boiled for another 5 minutes)! Served hot! :)

Lovely content about grocery haul. Whoever is reading this and going through very hard times, depression, loneliness and financial issues. You will raise up and win

[@Crown149]

The organization it takes to make a detailed meal calendar and stick to it is one of my new goals.

[@vivianwilliams2216]

I started getting hungry watching you grocery shop, 😁💕, that was fun to watch you and solo shopping together!

[@ladykatherine2939]

You can take the top of your pineapple, and grow that, too! And your avocado pits, carrots (if you buy them with the tops), and potatoes,too. I keep meaning to tell you, I LOVE the family photograph, in your intro!💖

[@belperkins]

I’m a family of just me and 2 cats but was thinking I should try a freezer challenge to try and save money

[@louisenicholls205]

belperkins - I did it as these guys inspired me to do it - it was really good (and enjoyable to see cupboards and a freezer empty slowly!)

[@caitlinmcalarney7212]

I just did a pantry and freezer challenge during corona virus! I was basically forced to but it gave me the push I needed. I saved so much $$$$ it’s only me and my dog

[@sakurafernandez5552]

I have two fridges and I ge been buying things in bulk for my family of 3... Saving a lot of money since we don’t go to the grocery all the time.. bath soap laundry detergent and dish soap.. best change I be made

[@lynhanna917]

@@caitlinmcalarney7212 I haven't been out of the house (no stores) for 8 weeks and there is barely a dent made in the pantry or the freezers (two but the small ones). I plan on doing this for longer just to see how many more weeks I can stay out of the stores.

[@monicaflitton2903]

I totally agree! Large families and small families can benefit! We did and we're a family of 4. Unreal how our grocery bill decreased...

[@sabrina959595]

I love that you cook so healthy for your large family! You concentrate on healthy veggies and proteins. :) Love your Kenyan recipes.

I am exactly the same way, and I don't like help putting the groceries in the car either.

I am too & I always bag my own groceries because I put them on the belt in a certain order 🤣

[@moniquemc4553]

I’m the same way. Lol I just like it very organized

[@robynb1310]

I love Solo organizing the groceries in the basket 😂❤

[@kimyotab7586]

I'm just started watching you and your husband. Love to see that he's helping you shop, other men's would go crazy because they are not patient enough to do this. Your husband is a keeper. Will continue to watch your videos 😊

[@micheletaal4442]

Wow. If only I could be as organized as you are with your family grocery shopping. I love watching in amazement.

[@MsWDWFAN1]

I really like it when you and Solo vlog in the stores vs showing what you bought when you get home. It's just interesting to see what's available in your area. Also how you shop for your large family. I really enjoy your vlogs!

[@linnis]

I lived the first weeks of this virus in Spain and the rest in Norway. Spain, Tenerife(lived there the last 4 years)had a strict lockdown, kids could not move outside ,you could only go to the shop or pharmacy, no walks ,no school, grocery shops empty...you need to use a mask,gloves . We came to Norway(my birthplace) to stay with my parents. We had 14 days of quarantine, then we could go for walks, kids play outside , adviced to keep 2 meters distance with other people, shops are full of groceries, there are hand sanitizers at all shops to use when you enter and leave the shop. Food got CHEAPER as the big grocery shop owners Said they could handle putting the prices down as they are selling alot now, to help the people in this difficult economic situation we are in .schools closed but they are now open again. Spain has been hit much harder then Norway, there is only 210 deaths here... I feel bad you need to explain why you did not use a mask, this is different from place to place, and having the experience from living with this in 2 different countries that has had different ways of dealing with it. A mask does not make it so much safer even though it might make you feel like it. Anyway, thanks for sharing Sarah and Solo👍

[@joetedi6220]

Linn B Yes! Staying indoors only lowers immune system!

[@niamhnir]

Yes my parents had it for a few days before they could fly home, not the worst in Ireland but I try to stay away from the commentary as there's always keyboard warriors.

People need to do and follow what they feel is right for them. I am so tired of feeling we aren’t adult enough to make decisions. You guys are a lovely family. Your children are great I love to watch the kids play together and such good manners they have been taught.

[@amandawhite3169]

I'm not going to lie, feeling quite thankful I only have my two kids right now during this pandemic. But prayers and good vibes to you and your family

[@coverscornersurburbanhomes6235]

Thank you for showing how you plan your meals for the month! I've been trying to figure out a system that works and that isn't a mind drain every week for me to plan! I will be giving this a try! I love watching your videos....just found you a week ago. You have an absolutely beautiful family! My husband and I have 9 children between us, but we have some adults in there. LOL 4 under 18. ~ Stephanie

[@liveyourbestlife143]

Great video. Thank you. Always makes my day when I see your videos pop up in my notifications.

[@lisawindemakernorris2334]

So glad to see your "emergency" items. I have been stocking up since the end of January and I now have a small stash of what I am now calling "comfort" items . When and if I have to use these items it will be a treat. I only get 1 or 2 at a time and it seems I am now putting flour, sugar and spices on my emergency items. So much is rationed in PA. I have been stocking up on peanut butter and tuna as they might become my protein this summer if shortages continue. You are so right about touching your face when wearing masks! It is mandatory where I live and I am forever adjusting my mask around my nose also I wear glasses and they keep fogging up. Who would have thought toilet paper and Clorox wipes would be a luxury item. Lol

[@ayannaoman]

Lisa Windemaker Norris I live in Lancaster Pa and it’s crazy how even canned vegetables are being rationed.

[@leaqw234]

Things are so expensive right now my fiancée and I shop once a week we have a small space so we can’t keep many groceries. We usually spend $100 a week for us to eat at home three times a day here in California we have been spending about $150-200 and we are hoarding or keeping anything extra. Just the usual basic stuff. It’s just really a crazy and scary time right now.

[@tinajackson429]

I love when you all shop, I get ideas for my kids.

I love the sizes of the packs in America. You'd never find this in Scotland 😂 Everything is small packages!

[@BeeinTX]

Caspeia That store is a warehouse store. That is why the packs were so big.

[@sazzifrazz78]

Yes Costco is a warehouse so everything is sold in bulk. It saves money but you need to have enough space to store such large containers.

[@happychild530]

Don't you have Costco in Scotland ? There are loads around in England.

[@AlannahGardener]

@@happychild530 I've just looked and apparently theres 3 but its a bit to drive to so I think the savings would just go on fuel and membership! It wouldn't be worth it. I must make a trip next time I'm near Edinburgh!

[@nives_xo8556]

It was so strange to see somenthing on a language similar to mine (Croatian) on the sourdough pasta you showed. It is a form of pasta that you usualy use like noodles in your soup. You can also use it in tomato soup or sauce,basicly it's tiny shreeded pasta bits. Love from Croatia,stay safe 😊
