You kept your grocery budget at $1300 for a long time even when grocery prices were creeping up, so of course it makes sense that your grocery budget would have to increase. Even so, you do a wonderful job of buying clean, healthy food and limiting the processed foods even though they are more convenient. I now only have one child at home and you inspire me with every video to eat better!

For lemon juice I REALLY like True Lemon powder, it's dried lemon juice and you just rehydrate with water. It tastes great and is less bulky in the pantry. True Lime also comes in a bulk container.

A blessing that you can afford to put your grocery budget. That isn't everyone's story. I'm still working with the same budget I've had for 3 to 4 years. I'm thankful to say we aren't starving by any means. I've learned ways to make it stretch. I also have a large garden which helps and am probably less health conscious then you. I also have chickens for eggs. I'm new to that within the last year. I would be cautious about making your own feed unless you have a good recipe or someone experienced telling you how. They won't lay properly if they don't have the proper feed.

Raw honey will always crystalize. What we do is we scoop it into a glass jar, and then we put that glass jar into a sauce pan that has a bit of water in it. We put it on a burner on the stove, and turn the burner on to the very lowest setting with the lid to the jar off of the jar. You just have to watch it a little so that the honey doesn't start to bubble. That will soften the honey. Also, if it's really hot outside, scrape the honey into a jar, put the jar outside with the lid on. Then it will soften without having to use the stove at all. We buy our honey in bulk from a local bee keeper. Sometimes the honey we get is hard as well.

@rebekah3483

I really think dividing it up, as soon as you get it, into jars instead of leaving it in the big bucket would help you be able to work with its hardness. Much easier to warm a jar of honey than it is the entire bucket!

You could get those plastic fast food baskets and just buy the disposable liners. No dishes, easy clean up and less waste.

Save the seeds from your watermelon and grow your own next year! You will be amazed how many will grow and how delicious they are. Have fun gardening!!

If you pull a leaf from the top of the pineapple you can tell how ripe it is by how easy it comes out. If it slides out super easily it's probably over ripe. If it's hard to pull out, it needs to sit out for a couple of days. Also, if you smell the pineapple and it smells sweet, it's ripe!

Hi Sarah, years ago, my husband was taking microbiology in college, and did a project on figuring out what typical cleaner kills what virus and bacteria, and what doesn’t. What he discovered was that vinegar kills a lot! It kills more than Lysol. Lysol, in fact, kills very little. The one thing that kills EVERYTHING, is bleach. Bleach kills all so I also buy the Clorox wipes, or any store brand (like Walmart) that says “compares directly to Clorox wipes”. If it says it compares to lysol brand, I avoid it for the Clorox brands.

With the kids spending so much time playing & running around the property, I’m guessing it follows that their appetites have increased as well. Love those summer days! The kids kids are making so many memories.

Amazing haul, Thanks Sarah!! Keep the seeds, and throw them out next year after the frost, they'll be fantastic out there 🍉

I added some kale plants into my flower beds this year along with my flowers. They all grew fine together and we now have an abundance of kale. They will produce well into the fall and early winter. I also found out that they are biannual and some that I had planted last year came back this year.

Add your corn cobs to your stock base. Great flavor booster!

Yes, that chicken salad is AMAZING! They probably and walnuts and grapes.

I love your grocery hauls. And yesss groceries are expensive.

I was just sitting here thinking, I KNOW it’s been two months since we’ve seen a grocery haul! Welcome back! Looking forward to this monthly again

My mental tally on your Sam's order was $800. Not too far off, but also factor in location - I'm in NY and I think grocery prices are typically higher here than they are for you. Groceries are not cheap, but eating well is priceless and dining out as a family is SO expensive.

Ty ty gurl for telling about no headache bees wax candles !!

We go through a lot of chicken thighs here as well I buy them bone in and debone them (but keep the skin on) for use on the smoker. We smoke a lot of meats here on the weekend and sams by far has the best price for that. I do keep the bones for bone broth.

HI ,Sara I enjoy watching your hauls you actually care what's going into your childrens mouths awesome parents children !I love how you budget clothes shopping food shopping.

15:28. Yes!!!! Never felt so connected to you Sarah.

The pickling cucumbers are my favorite, I use them in my salads all the time, the flavor can't be beat.

For chicken salad I like adding halved grapes and shoe string potato chips like Pik-Niks. It adds a yummy salty crunch, just make sure to add it in as needed right before so they don’t get soggy.

Pickling cucumbers are my absolute favorite to have in salads! They are soo fresh and crunchy! I literally enjoy when they are finally in season!

Hi Sarah!Love watching your videos with your beautiful family. Wish I could see them every day ❤ you can make plum jam or jelly it keep for years, and we love it .

Miss Sara! Love your channel and your family! An easy pickle recipe that is fun to make, too! Sun Dills. 10-12 pickling cucumbers, 6 cloves of garlic (peeled) ,6 fresh dill sprigs, 8 tablespoons kosher salt, 1 cup cider vinegar. Put 2 cloves of garlic and 2 dill sprigs in the bottom of a glass jar with screw-on lid. Pack halfway with pickles. Add 2 more garlic cloves and 2 more dill sprigs. Fill jar rest of way with pickles. Add the last 2 garlic cloves and dill sprigs. Add kosher salt, vinegar and fill jar with Cold water. Cover and shake until cloudy. Put into the sun for 3 days and leave out at night too. Refrigerate. They last 6 months in the refrigerator! Yummy!!

🙀$20 for a watermelon? No way

We also bought the cherries, but we got three boxes! They are soooo good. We love Azure produce.

Yay I missed your hauls

I have a little family of 3... but I like to have a stocked pantry and freezer. We got tons of fresh parmesan cheese that was close to the expiry date so I tried freezing it.. and it works great!

Hey Sarah, thank you for sharing! I can completely understand going back to once a month shopping - I am in awe of how you managed once every two months! I have a much smaller family than you (hopefully one day, Lord willing, I can also be a mom of 11 ❤) and I feel like I go back to the store (at least for milk) once a week! God bless you and your family!

yes yum fresh tomatoes in the summer

Thanks for sharing your grocery haul. I find it really interesting, informational, and inspiring. I just recently became a wife and stepmom, and am trying to really create a healthy happy home on a budget. Thanks for the inspo!!

Lisa’s sourdough tortilla recipe is amazing and so easy.

The ice sparkling water is so good

It always amazes me seeing the grocery hauls of big families. There is just the two of us, now and your haul could probably feed us all year lol

Pickles are super easy! I loveeee homemade pickles! ❤

I really enjoy the ICE drinks. Sparkling water not so much...great grocery haul!

A big haul indeed. A good channel to watch on homesteading is Lumnah Acres. They raise chickens for their freezer and so much more.

That's how I found Azure....our chicken feed! Best value and Non-GMO. We do do the mix - the whole feed. And then add in sunflower seeds from another place. A lot of local places said we would not be able to get non-gmo chicken feed like that. But we did with Azure :)

I always enjoy watching your videos!! My husband and I are retired so we have a low grocery budget. But I have noticed that prices are higher now, so I have had to increase the monthly food budget! Take care🦋💗

Hi. I'm new here. We buy those trays too. We have a box a little over half full that we bought in 2021. We use them for bbqs, campfires, and summer company. I'm convinced this was a lifetime purchase. 😂😂 Sending support, love, and kindness from Lexington, Michigan, USA

The Black Diamond melons are absolutely delicious. By far the best I’ve ever had in my life. Ruby red inside and so sweet 😋

I really don’t know why I enjoy videos like this, I’d work as a personal shopper if I physically could. Your family groceries blow me away because my household is just me. I spent $70 and I usually shop 2-3 times a month. I’m beginning to eat keto/ketovoire in hope of resolving a couple health issues so I’ll be watching for good meat sales and buying only fresh veg. I will be home canning chicken & beef when I find a deal because canned meat is SO convenient

My favorite cucumber recipe uses 4 or 5 cucumbers, onion to taste, 1 1/2 tsp kosher or Himalayan salt, 1 1/2 tsp sugar and 2 1/2 TBSP red wine vinegar. So good! We do creamy cucumbers too.

I just bought those food trays! Saves on dishes and pretty cheap!

Those plums looked so good we have a Whole Foods in another city they sell alot of Annie's and other goods

I love that Thai Sweet Chili Sauce!! I use it as a dip for egg rolls, so good 😋

Peroxide 50/50 w water with a small amount of mild detergent (I use ajax ) in a spray bottle for a disinfectant. This is what the hospitals use as well. I use paper towels and washable rags with the spray to clean everything.

Great hauls.

Great job!

A really good recipe for homemade laundry soap is. 1 bar of zoat soap( found in the laundry isle at Walmart). Shredded. 1 cup of washing soda, 1 cup of borax, 1 cup of oxi-clean ...mix shredded zoat soap in boiling water and stir until melted. Then pour into a 5 gal. Bucket and add all the other ingredients .fill the bucket with very hot water and stir till well combined. Let set covered overnight. Next morning it should be gelled. Stir to break up. Fill 10 ,one gallon jugs half way with warm water , then fill the rest of the way, ( leaving about 2 inches head space) with laundry soap. Makes 10 gal. Use about 1/4 cup per load . Shake jug well before each use. Should last at least 6-9 months.

I use a recipe very similar to this. And I have a paint stir stick you hook into a drill and mix mine with that about once an hour for 12 hours, by the end, the whole 5 gallons is gelled. If.i dont do this mixing, I find only the top half is gelled.

Instant Pot the Potatoes make a Potato salad with peppers, and onion. You can also make Potato pancakes with them mix cheese and ham with little flour for on the griddle cooking with burger nights.

For laundry powder, I make my own using, bicarb, Epsom salt, lecitin laundry soda, soap flakes. I shave sunlight soap. And add eucalyptus oil

I love blue plums!

My oldest daughter is making homemade pickles - SO GOOD! And they are easy too! AND! They are ready in a couple of hours! (of course the longer they soak, the better they are)
