Grocery Haul - What we bought before the new limits were set - Large Family of 18

We headed to the grocery store after the "Toilet Paper Panic" and managed to get some supplies
But then new grocery item limits have been imposed since then.
Stay tuned for another upcoming grocery haul video to see what we bought after those limits were set

    @@jillianbowen7265 I just rinse and pick over the lentils to make sure there are no stones and then if I'm making something like bolognese or chilli con carne I just add them straight in with everything else to boil away. Split red lentils only take about 10 minutes to cook. For more solid mince dishes like burgers and meatballs I either cook up and mash the lentils to add along with breadcrumbs or use mashed chick-peas.

I made sure my family and friends were fine. It was months before we bought more and then only then because it was 65% off.

    If a family of 18 can stick to the limits no one has reason not to as well! They are considerate and compassionate towards others hence them not shopping individually just to stockpile for their large family. We, the general public have to look out for one another because the gov and politicians don’t give a crap if you starve cause they’re still getting paid their normal salaries plus bonuses! I pray that God blesses everyone with love and compassion🙏🙏✨

    I'm in Illinois, one of the 6 (as of today) US "shelter in place" or "Stay Home!!" states. Our schools, bars and restaurants closed down last week. Only essential stores are open so clothing stores, jewelry stores and such are closed down and some boarded up. I believe the reason the grocery stores have gone to no returns is due to the virus. It can survive on cardboard for 24 hours and on plastic, 2 or 3 days. Please make sure to wash your hands when you get home. Stay safe!!

    Greetings from NW Missouri in the US. We're experiencing many of the same shortages here - not a roll of toilet paper to be found, canned fruit and veggies are a thing of the past. Oddly enough, we have plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, and most meats except for ground (minced) beef. Eggs are nowhere to be found, as if the chickens have gone on strike. I have been able to order canned vegetables from Amazon, but it took about a week to get the items in stock. I was also able to get cleaning supplies, again with a week's delay. I have been impressed with how friendly people have been in the stores - no fighting or yelling or grabbing items out of other people's carts. Most of the fighting has been confined to our politicians. Be safe!

In Brisbane were my dad live and he went shopping for frozen veggies he went to Woolworths and they told him only 2 frozen product's he wanted to buy beans corn and some frozen chips thecheakout person said only 2 items he got upset when he left the store. But when he left a young lady called out to my dad and handed him the frozen chips she bought them for him he said he had tears in his eyes. My neighbors bought me a 9 pack of toilet paper.

    Our stores here in the northeast of the US, seem to be running out of meat! I found no chicken breast, ground beef or beef roasts. I talked to the butcher and he gave the suggestions of buying a whole turkey, whether you have a large or small family, and freeze the leftovers. The same for whole hams and large cuts of meat we wouldn’t normally buy. My children are adults and have their own homes and we are now on the “stay at home” order and travel only when necessary. I work in hospital so I am traveling to work everyday so we can exchange items too, when needed. My daughter needed salt and I needed baking powder, so we swapped, keeping the 6 foot distance required. My generation is also the one that hates to pay full price, so in the past when the price would be rock bottom, such as pasta for .50, I would stock up. I am sharing my pasta, soup, canned veggies, paper towels, soap etc. God bless you and your family!

    Smart way to shop isn't it, stock up when the price is down. I stockpile mainly cleaning products and toiletries so we are good for all of those things and I often do big freezer meal cook ups but I certainly got caught out with some items in lower numbers. Oops! Oh well, what can we do, nobody knew this was coming. Now we all stick together. I love the way your family is sharing everything, we are doing that too. God bless.

    Hi ladies, I think you did quite well with your shopping but again no paper products lol! No point panicking over what you can or cannot get or the limit placed on things you can get as long as you can get a little right! I should imagine your sort of stocked like myself in freezer and pantry it’s just a case of keeping it topped up as once you deplete everything it does take a while to rebuild it back up. As you know my biggest problem of late was getting a delivery as I am unable to walk around a store but that was resolved lately thanks to Woolworths Priority Assist, Coles stopped deliveries, so feeling much better about things even with the limits or substitutions that are made to my orders. If we all do the right thing like you say, and just buy what we need at the time, are kind to others, remembering there is always some one worse off than ourselves, we will get through this tough period. We are stronger than we think we are and will surprise ourselves I am sure of this. Please be safe and look after each other and take care of others in need too as I know you will.❤️

    If you have a Bunnings close to you, they have the BEST disinfectant. It's in the cleaners aisle. It's about $4 for one of the pre made up spray bottles, or around $10-12 for the big one you make yourself. Which makes 40 liters. It's hospital grade. Mum used to work in a nursing home and that's what they used. With this COVID19 thing, we got the big one to make up. People need to chill with the panic buying! It's ridiculous to see no toot paper, pasta, flour or rice. I love those baby foods.

    It's actually a really cheap brand that you can find at the grocery store (Woolworths) the brand is MUD - Make-Up Design and the colours I use are "pure passion" and "barely blushing"

Of course, seeds and seedlings are now starting to fly off the shelves here, too :-(. Hopefully, the situation will quiet down soon and things will return to 'normal' rather quickly!

    cootsuni Hates You l live in Traralgon Victoria Australia. I filled out a form on Woolworths Website requesting delivery because they are now only delivering to the elderly, disabled or mandatory isolated. They then sent me a notification that they had a window for me. I went into the online store chose what wanted, altered it so l didn’t break any limit restrictions and then it was ordered. There is no meat, flours, eggs, sugar, loo paper, tissues, cleaning goods and other items are restricted. You have to become creative when ordering. So you can only have two loaves bread! However if you have one loaf bread you can then add a loaf of raisin bread, some rolls and a packet of wraps. You just have to think outside of the normal way of thinking. Hope this information helps!

Haven’t been able to go back to work due to back pain anxiety depression and doc told me in 2014 I was agoraphobic . I have not left my suburb since 2013 I was still able to get to the shops and doctor and that’s about it. Had my son in 2016 and have not been able to work since then also marriage failed soon after my sons 1st birthday he does help with shopping when he does come around but if we go into lockdown don’t even know if I would be able to get the help to get my groceries

    It’s not great here in the UK as there’s literally no pantry goods like flour, sugar, rice,pasta or cleaning supplies and even pet food is getting sparse. Also, there’s no deliveries available for weeks at the stores and the one I managed to order 2 weeks ago got cancelled 5 minutes before arrival so I got nothing! I’m agoraphobic and have other health/mental health problems, but the worst is my mum has dementia and lives in a care home and it’s closed to everyone, no one in my family can see mum for months (if she makes it past the virus) touch wood! 💔😓😷🌎

    I wish my city and state did the bottle recycling! :( Perth needs to hurry up with the times. I tried to do an online order and they aren't delivering anymore nor are they doing click and collect :( it's very disheartening as we didn't panic buy either. Sure there's just 7 in our household, not 18 like you guys. Which by the way I have been wondering about your house layout. We are planning on renovating and going up not out (we want a backyard for our children to play and children's parties). Are you up for doing a walk through if possible of how everything functions with 18 under one roof? My husband only wants to add 4 rooms upstairs and 2 bathrooms I want more for when we have more kids (I know I'm not done yet). Also are you able to do a new budget/funds video? I know with large families funds are tighter and I would like to see how they are allocated vs how we allocate ours. How you stay vigilante too? It's s easy to do up a budget and then not stick to it. How do you guys stick to it?
