Walmart Inflation Saving Frugal Prepping Haul and Dollar Tree Mini Haul

Walmart Inflation Saving Frugal Prepping Haul and Dollar Tree Mini Haul

[@DottieLewis]

Wonderful haul! You both just make my heart smile. You remind me so much of my own family. My mother passed away this past December (my dad has been gone since 2005) and I miss her terribly. Sweet Marie reminds me so much of her. God bless you both and thank you for sharing a piece of your lives with us!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Dottie. I'm sorry about the passing of your mother. Marie and Calvin

[@joannparker1977]

It blows my mind how much things cost now. I’m almost afraid to go to the grocery store. Great video y’all.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Yes, it is terrible the prices today

[@jw1664]

I love your haul! It is comforting to see others great preppers orders look a lot like my own! Thank you for posting! Look forward to the next 😍

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much

[@mrs.higgins3055]

Those scrumptious chocolate cream filled rolls from Dollar Tree are DELICIOUS!! You won't be disappointed.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Yes, they were delicious

[@breng5767]

Great hauls. I absolutely love ordering from Walmart and going to pick it up. When I go shopping in the store and come home, I am wiped out. My knees can't take it anymore. So, it is a blessing to be able to order and go and pick it up. Thus far I haven't had to get a refund but I know it won't be a problem if I do. Hope it didn't take too long to put everything up. Take care.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

We're the same way. Grocery pickup has been so nice. Calvin and Marie

[@brendachavers7605]

I enjoyed being with you tonight! Thank you for sharing with us..💞🥰🙏🏼😇

Hello y’all 👋, enjoyed watching your hauls. 👍😎👍❤️. Have a good weekend.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Cheryl, Calvin and Marie

[@mandarn80]

I just found you all today. You all seem like precious people. I LOVE your accents! I'm from Ky and have a southern accent. My husband is in the Air Force and we're stationed in upstate NY. I stick out like a sore thumb up here! Haha! Thankfully, people that bring it up are nice about it and say that they like it. :) Great haul!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much, we went through the same thing when Calvin was stationed up north, many years ago.

[@TheGraceLifeDIYHomeDecor]

I love your food haul and Dollar Tree haul. Great job ! I love it 🥰

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much

[@sheryleldridge6597]

I really enjoyed your haul and videos. Have a great weekend.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Sheryl, Marie and Calvin

[@kathykrause8336]

Hi Calvin and Marie. Your house Marie will be all ready for Easter. I'm sure it will be beautiful. Calivn, my husband and I did a grocery haul last week. Just like you guys, we fear that the price of groceries will be rising. So I buy in bulk things like chicken, tuna, spam, canned milk and yes even Vienna weiners. I love to cook and bake so I buy flour and sugar in 40 lb bags. I even buy yeast in bricks to do all my breads and rolls. We spent a good chunk of money but our pantry is well stocked. Plus we have 4 upright freezers. One for beef, pork and poultry. Another one with baked things, pies, cookies, cakes, bread etc. Another freezer with convenient foods, pasta, pizzas homemade pot pies, casseroles and the last freezer has all the vegetables and fruits that we grew and froze from our garden. Of course anytime our children stop buy we share with them as parents do. They are very good to us as well. I wasn't trying to brag. That is just the way we live. Thank you for another great video

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Kathy. I can't imagine keeping up with four freezers. Have a great weekend, Calvin and Marie

[@sheryladams1964]

You are right about stocking up. I have always done that. Not because of prices necessarily, but I just liked having a supply of things on hand. I agree prices are going up. It disturbed me the other day to hear on the news of the baby formula storage. Praying everyone will be able to get what they need during these times. God bless! ✝️💟✝️

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much for your prayers Sheryl. For the past two years it seems like there is constantly a shortage of different items at different times. Baby formula is so expensive and some babies have to chage the formula that they are on occasionally. It is difficult to be a mother with a newborn these days. We are praying for everyone who is experiencing these shortages.

[@treyjoyner1932]

I love Welch's grape jelly that comes in the squeeze bottles. I currently have a Great Value jelly squeeze bottle.

[@CookingWithNeighbors]

We certainly need to find saving where we can these days!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Yes we do

[@lorettathornton6318]

Great haul, l agree on roll taking your food items. Never used the food pickup before. Have a great Friday evening ❤️

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much, Calvin and Marie

[@glendabenard3772]

Can't go wrong shopping Dollar Tree

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much

[@treyjoyner1932]

I shopped at my nearest Walmart Supercenter last month. I couldn't find the Mrs. Butterworth's pancake syrup squeeze bottle, but instead of that, I bought the Great Value pancake syrup squeeze bottle. I found and discovered the large Great Value maple syrup jugs. I know "pancake & maple" syrups taste different from each other. I could go to Target and buy myself a new Oxo squeeze bottle so I could plenish it with maple syrup at my home. My reusable Oxo bottle currently has pancake syrup.

[@treyjoyner1932]

I'll see you next time, Calvin and Marie.

[@Terri_MacKay]

That's a great haul...lots of staples for the pantry. I'm looking forward to Calvin's video on grits. I've seen them in the store, but I'm not sure how to cook them. They're not a common food here in Canada, but whenever I hear someone talking about shrimp and grits, it sounds so yummy. I really want to learn how to make the grits properly. You're going to love the chopper/scraper you got from Dollar Tree. I bought one a few years ago for myself, and one as part of a birthday present for one of my sisters. It's so great for picking up your veggies after you cut them up, to put into a pot or bowl. Such a simple thing, but my sister and I raved about ours so much that my Mum and other 2 sisters wanted one as well...so I got them all one for their birthdays as well. I agree about ordering groceries from Wal-Mart. We started doing it during the worst of the pandemic, when we were trying to stay away from people as much as possible. We don't have a car, so we got our groceries delivered. It was great because Wal-Mart carries so many things, that we could order everything we needed from just one store....groceries, cleaning supplies, toiletries and OTC medications, all our cat food and supplies, and household items that we needed from time to time (new pillows, charging cords, batteries, etc.). We loved being able to get our groceries delivered so much, that we've continued doing it. As well as being convenient, we save money as well because we make a list, and order what's on it. When we shopped in person, we always ended up buying more than was on the list.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much, Calvin really loves grits and he makes them really good. Marie and Calvin

[@cherylsouth7145]

Great video 👍 Enjoy your weekend 🦋

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much

[@candacejourdan6041]

❤ Enjoy a great weekend, guys! ❤

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Candace, Calvin and Marie

[@lovelife7249]

To be honest, I'm not into shopping like I used to be due to the high prices at Walmart especially on beef. 😥😥 I think Dollar Store and Dollar tree are fun to go into and just browse around in. Dollar tree is great for gift bags and cards. TFS Love Ya's. God Bless.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

I totally agree with you. Marie and Calvin

[@CookingwithCatLover0330]

I wish I lived closer! I would come over to help you. I love haul videos. I would like to hear some of those prices too. I have seen prices go up in my area. Great video. Thank you so much. P.S. Marie I love the Easter decor. The pink truck is so cute.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much, we were tired after we got it all put up. Marie and Calvin

[@haverhilltablet6169]

I enjoyed Marie's Dollar Tree haul. Beautiful oven mitts, and a great saying on the rpotholders. Marie was funny with her comments about the glasses and ear buds. I can definitely relate! Unfortunately our Walmart doesn't include a supermarket. You've certainly got your work cut out for you getting all your purchases put away. Good luck. ❤

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much, yes it was a tiring job. Marie and Calvin

[@sabracrouse5893]

Hey Marie and Calvin good to see you both. Grocery prices are ridiculous. Hope something changes soon with them. Anyway stay safe take care and God bless you both and family

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Yes, the prices are ridiculous. Marie and Calvin

[@Timeisirrelevant]

I got a small chocolate bunny the other day too! So good, Marie.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Yes it was

[@charity1327]

Great haul. Always good to prep. So glad to see people prepping. Thanks for sharing! Have a good weekend!😊❤

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much, Calvin and Marie

[@user-vp9tx6sh2f]

Thanks for sharing Joan in Fl.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

You are so welcome!

[@KathleenCalhoun-em6ys]

Cal, you can save a few cents buying the generic brand salt instead of Morton's. I have a problem with baking powder, that it clumps over time.

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

Nice stock. Continue preparing!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much

[@treyjoyner1932]

Hello, Calvin and Marie! I already watched your video. 📷

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Trey

[@csnanny1882]

That’s a good ideal if you cook a lot ,and you get it cheap enough. That will be good for you.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much

[@RaeAnnaLynnW]

Thanks for the evaporated milk tip.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

You're welcome

[@sandipeiffer4973]

I’d like to see some of Marie’s no bake pies. Does she do different puddings with whipped topping or something different? We do the same as you with stocking up. “Hedge against inflation”… yep, my mantra recently for sure! Thanks for the lovely video guys!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

We love no bake pies

[@janetmoss6370]

Great haul! We are also stocking up. I love Walmart grocery pickup too! And by the way, I heard you just fine! God bless y'all!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much, Calvin and Marie

[@TheHodgePodgeLifeOfJessi]

Great haul! We have been preppin too!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much

[@eldajobes8422]

Great hauls, I was waiting to hear the total cost of the Walmart items. I buy to stock my shelves, but a little at a time. Love your videos.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much

[@kendrafullofjoy]

Thank you! I am looking forward to grits video!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much, Calvin and Marie

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Vernie, Calvin and Marie

[@kendrafullofjoy]

I totally agree on stocking chicken. WeRe thinking about hens this year for eggs and some meat birds.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Yes, that is a great idea. Calvin and Marie

[@brysonhatfield8958]

Walmart has a brand called Molina Brothers Mexican Vanilla. I usually purchase 5 or 6 at a time. They are around $2.00 a bottle. Good Quality and not very expensive, either.

[@carolynpalmer6521]

Just found you guys! Real Southern Woman was talking about you in her video today or yesterday! I will be watching from Tennessee🤩

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Carolyn. We appreciate you watching our channel and we appreciate Tammy. We watch her all the time.

[@debbieskitchen2]

I have thought about learning to can my own vegetable and fruit. My parents did that from their own garden. Why food has gone up so much I don't know. Gas has gone way high again. My Dad liked those Vienna sausages too. I've never tried the Walmart chili. Walmart will refund dented cans too. I keep cream of chicken and mushroom in my cabinet too. Nice haul.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Debbie

[@melissabibby7310]

That was a great grocery haul, yep when I’m going y to do a big one like you did, I pull out what I have from the pantry check the dates, leave them out put the new in first like you, and the older ones up front. Yep you have to do a stock up haul now and than with the way food prices, and special shortages. Plus when your older like you and Marie, you have to think ahead. I think you two did a fantastic job.👍❤️

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Melissa. Calvin and Marie

[@lauragriffin6512]

Looking forward to the grits video.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Laura. Calvin and Marie

[@sharonmarriott2589]

I have arthritis in both of my knees and I can’t do a lot of walking or standing I even cook a lot sitting down. I’m like you all I order online at Walmart and we have a store called Food Lion that we can order and go pick up I would be absolutely lost now without it.

[@debraspringers2098]

What a great grocery haul, I shop Fred Meyers, I have never shopped at Walmart, I do know that milk has gone up to $5 a gallon. I have a really hard time finding coffee creamer. I went to Costco's no coffee creamer there also.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks Debra. Hopefully prices won't go any higher but we never know. Calvin and Marie

[@lisamarx9835]

I like both your hauls prices are sure going up,I have some things put up in my cabinets I have to do my inventory of what I have. I have evaporated milk too... I heard you can get Velveeta cheese in the box it's shelve safe also Velveeta cheese in the pouches dollar tree use to have them. We also like spray can cheese with crackers...

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much, that's some good ideas also. Calvin and Marie

[@sharonmarriott2589]

Loved the video!! I do the same. I like to have extra on hand at all times.

[@Ru_Ru759]

❤

[@lindabrawley4369]

Thank you for letting me know know about the baking soda, I had never heard that before so I learned something valuable.so thank you. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Marie and Calvin

[@flowergirl9771]

Enjoyed your hauls, yes Calvin do a video on grits, I love grits and that is not something you order when you eat breakfast out (or I've never got any good ones).

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Yes, we both enjoy grits.

[@kendrafullofjoy]

Tuna here today too.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

We love tuna salad sandwiches

[@conniemccollam2605]

Nice haul. We have a stock of things too. We do our own shopping at Walmart& other stores, don't have capability to order on line, like picking my own groceries. Only two of us , but I cook a full meal everyday. Thank you both , look forward to the next video. Take care, have a great weekend. We are expecting snow this weekend , east of Pittsburgh.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Connie. Calvin and Marie

[@BrittanyLinger]

great haul! i would love to come help you guys put it all away lol id gladly accept any of maries delicious recipes as my payment lol! i dont have much storage room in my kitchen so its hard for me to keep it stocked that much. but i live alone so i dont need much but with the price of food these days, its good to stock up before it goes up even more. the beef stew/tomatoes sounds like a great easy dish that is right up my alley lol i dont really like to cook much but since finding this channel, ive only watched one recipe video so far (macaroni soup) and im going to make that. thats my type of recipe too lol one pot, easy cleanup. ive seen the thumbnails for the rest of the recipes and im going to be watching more!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Brittany

[@lizcarter6938]

hahahah I don't trust anyone that doesn't have cream style corn in their grocery hauls lol My little granddaughter and I share a can. I picked up 2 more packages of chicken breasts from Sams Club today and was happily surprised they had only gone up .13 per pound. I will pressure can both packages and ensure there is extra broth in the jar as I'm in the extreme desert and water is always in short supply and will be critical when things get bad!!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Yes, we love cream style corn. I also love putting it in my Mexican Cornbread

[@dannydunnagan3267]

That's a big grocery hall we always go in Walmart so I can talk to everybody buy the way I will retire in July with 27 years in the fire dept can't wait.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Congratulations on your upcoming retirement. Calvin and Marie

[@SBooher1]

I do wish I had the space to store like you can, but I don't have anywhere except the garage. I worry it will be too hot for canned food and will draw mice for rice and beans and who knows what.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

It does take a lot of room to store very much food. Calvin and Marie

[@harrietlivengood6793]

That was a great food haul and the mini haul from Dollar Tree. We definitely need to be stocking our pantries. I couldn’t make it without grocery pickup being I’m handicapped. Looking forward to more amazing videos.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Harriet, Calvin and Marie

You can freeze butter, and flour; otherwise great haul

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Annette, Calvin and Marie

[@kathybullard9088]

I love grocery pickup also! I rarely, if ever, go into the store. In the last 3 years, I’ve only had 2 incidents where I was shorted or something was damaged. I went online and they immediately refunded me. Some people refuse to let online grocers select their fresh produce - I can truthfully say they seem to make better selections than I have in the past. Ha.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Our overall experience is always good. We really appreciate the service. Calvin and Marie

[@kathleencalhoun2225]

I heard what you said about the Dinty Moore stew, and the last time I was out grocery shopping, I bought a can of that and also a can of stewed tomatoes. I have made it yet, but I will eventually. I plan on serving it on rice. (It's been years since I have eaten this brand stew. I prefer to make my own.) Thanks for the suggestion. Also, wouldn't it be more economical to purchase a 10-lb. vag of sugar instead of two 4-pound bags? But then again, I don't know because I never buy the larger size, but I have noticed it being situated next to the smaller bags. I think Walmart may even sell 20-lb. bags of sugar, if I'm not mistaken, and for all sweets you make, maybe you can compare prices.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

We just don't like buying the larger bags of sugar. The small bags fit perfectly in Marie's cannister.
