Seems like it would be easier for the store to have someone pop over there around cart #3 and get started for you and for them. I honestly saw this channel recommended for a long time... but I didn't know what to think, I expected a family that simply didn't stop having kids, I didn't realize you were fostering. And honestly, having watched, I feel guilty for judging based on simply the titles. I'm so amazed by what you're doing for these kids. It certainly makes me want to do even better as a parent in any way that I can.

Love your videos Alicia! You make shopping so much fun and it's so nice to watch and listen to your fun, caring approach to groceries for your family! A few quick tips that my parents taught me... My dad always told me to look for little black sap-like marks on the watermelon, which he called "bee stings".. apparently, they're indications that the watermelon is sweet because the sugar leeks out from the watermelon. Also, the yellowish sun spots on a watermelon are good too! It means the watermelon is full, so it didn't move around (like flipping on a tanning bed) while growing! For onions, if you store them in a dry place with the little silica packets you get from packaged foods, the packets will keep your onions dry and preserved longer! These are just family tips, so I can't guarantee their 100% accuracy, but they've worked pretty well for us so far! Have a great week Dougherty's!

To stop onions going bad they need to be stored in a cool, dark and we'll ventilated space. Preferably in a basket not in a bag. This stops them going bad so quick. Love your family and positive videos

So many people have commented this I would love to see European sizes.

I know there’s never a dull or boring time in your busy life. It takes a strong woman to have that many kids, also a lot of patience. Thanks again for your channel. NewJersey 👍🏻👍🏻

God bless you and your family ma'am ❤️ you remember every single favorite things that your kids like ..i was like omgggg 🤯🤯 and you look enjoy the shopping, it would be tiring for me but i love watching you shopping 🤗

For the Krusteaz pancake mix, try it with milk instead of water and only use the amount necessary while mixing until you reach the consistency you like. Also, mix a small amount of pure vanilla extract. They taste soooo good! 🥞🥞🥞

The watermelon is "usually" the best if it is really yellow on one side and sounds hollow when you knock on it. I love your videos. You are such a wonderful MOM.

Also, I saw a Tikttok video that said the smaller the "belly button" of the watermelon the better.

Hi Alicia! I love your makeup, earrings & hair color! I enjoyed watching this Wegmans shopping haul! Great video!

God bless you👏🏽 such an amazing mom you are!

I loved how you also buy something for yourself even with that amount of grocery list, I can tell that you lived a happy life with your family. This is so satisfying to watch. I liked it!

Love to see people have a large family! Your really inspiring me to have/adopt alot of kids when I become older! :) PS for the watermelon look for thick dark green strips, a yellow belly and knock on it and if it sounds deep/loud it's perfect!

i really love how you do your grocery shopping that is my kind of shopping

i would recommend costco for a big family, and i love how u have each snack for each child and what they liked. i love you and ur family's channel and tiktok. god bless u and ur family have a good day❤️

Watching episodes I have missed. She makes me feel so calm. I enjoy the positive attitude even when things go wrong. I hate that some people try to bring her down for stupid 💩! I can guarantee they don’t treat their kids a tenth as good as she treats hers! I think it is awesome she figured out a way to get her family everything they need. Smart woman! Love love love your channel!

21:30 How to pick the perfect watermelon :) - round = sweet - long or oval = watery - white spot = neutral flavor - brown spot = intense flavor - not many brown stripes = not sweet - many brown stripes = sweet - green stem = not ripe - brown stem = ripe

I love how she is organizing with her shopping for the family

Girl you haft to get the dark green ones their the best ❤️❤️

My worst nightmare would be hauling it all into the house and putting it away.

It feels relaxing watching someone buys lots of groceries. Btw you're a wonderful mom 💕

I’m so impressed by everything you can do. I love watching your videos

This is the first video I saw of you. It's crazy how much food and with each shopping cart you are so relaxed! I am vegan, living in Germany - my first stop is the veggie section. We have much smaller packaging here and no pre cooked chicken slices ;) nor pre cooked salt potatoes lol can't wait to see your children in action :)

These videos are so uplifting. Also I love how you’re thinking of every kids needs/wants like how you were getting Bree cheese it’s or Alex his ices. It’s so nice of you. You are an amazing mother we all love you

I would love to see a bathroom tour! I love how they each get their own items but I can imagine that’s hard to store and I would love to see how you make it work. 😊

This is what I do at BJ'S. I get 1 cart just for water. I refuse to use city water except for showers and wash. I am extremely careful due to we live a mile from a company that put forever chemical in the ground water and air. I was wondering if you had a BJ's or Sam's club near you. I have found that when I use the coupons it is much cheaper and I can get bulk in everything. I found there is a store that has bigger bulk in Delaware. I think shopping for food is so relaxing. I love doing it alone. If I have anyone with me I forget half of my list 😂. Great job mom. I never knew Wegmans had bulk . I have to try them

can tell she’s a really really nice and kind person

The sensitive itchy skin is probably coming from all the sugar and processed foods. Also evidenced by needing lactaid and reflux meds. Cut out all those chemicals!! Have the whole family use Castile soap but diet changes will make the biggest difference

Your grocery haul videos make me so happy. What an amazing mom those kiddos of yours have! I would consider buying pounds of shells and boxes of velveeta cheese in the blocks. Since you have a large family, you will be able to make use of the ‘value’ size that the velveeta block provides!

You are such a sweetheart 💗 the kids are lucky to have you.

I love your grocery shopping hauls that is my kind of shopping ❤❤

I dont know when or how this became my favorite channel but I have watched EVERY video. I love this family. Ive never seen any woman like you. Youre such an inspiration. I strive to be like you.

First time watching any of your videos, thought I'd let you know for watermelons, aim for a watermelon that sounds semi-hollow when you knock it, is slightly mor rounded than it is longer, and use two fingers to measure the stripes, you want them about 2 fingers apart. This is what I was taught when my families (3 different farmsteads between us) to find the best watermelons in each patch every year. Was almost never disappointed

I can’t wait till you ring it up! I love food shopping!

Pro tip from someone who works in an in-store cafe. To maintain the cold chain and freshness of your fridge/frozen items, if you want to shop them first, just ask the store to keep them in the walk in fridge/ freezer in the back while you get the rest of the stuff on your list. otherwise pick them up last.

It’s nice to have many kids when you have the money to take care of them all . It’s so nice seeing that she takes care of them and feeds them well

They.most likely are on public assistance. Also they buy bottled water, expensive snacks, they can be more frugal. I am not believing how the family gets away with this. What does the husband do to make money. Mom has no time to work. I’m one person and I am more careful how I spend my money. She can bake, for example. Use a water filter…etc etc

A lot children have had food insecurities and if she can help them through those things I think what they do is an amazing thing. I have even been looking into fostering a child or children.

sorting out groceries list by the departments of the store is a shout! thanks for sharing

I use these tips to find good watermelon 🍉. Find them on Google last year & so far they've been pretty accurate! *Find a watermelon that is a uniform size (oval or round) either is ok. You just want to watch out for irregular bumps. *You want to find the melon that is heavy for its size. This usually means it will be sweeter and will have more water content. *Look for an orange creamy field spot. The darker yellow field spot usually means it was on the vine longer and is full of flavor. If the field spot is white that’s a sign that the melon is not quite ripe. *Larger “webbing” or “sugar spots” means that the melon is seeping out sugar and is usually the sign of sweet melon. *Look for dark & dull melons which is a sign that the melon is ripe. When the melon is shiny it is underripe.

As others have said, your ability to keep all your kiddos happy by getting items that they individually like is just so thoughtful on your end. I could never remember everyone’s preference (let alone my own). I need to start using some of your habits! Have a great day, Alicia and family! ❤️
