We like to use the foaming soap pumps because we refill them 1/3 way and add water. Saves on soap and containers!
I love how practical you are...you're like I love it but we don't need it..I'm sure your pockets are happy about that! Great video
I've been using Dawn dish soap for years, I also use it for my hands and if you look on the front label at the bottom it says dishwashing liquid. It's both you can use it for your hands and you can use it for your dishes.
I use the green dawn on my dishes also. The blue dawn, I use it on my hands seldomly. Using it too much will dry your hands out as it strips the oils from your skin.
@@kaylynbroussard4122 I like how clean it makes my hands. I do get the drying, so I swich it up and use a aloe hand soap as well.
Yes Rebecca! I just made the same comment. All Dawn soaps are dishwashing liquid and antibacterial hand soaps.
Definitely make your own butter! My husband does from time to time and it is amazing
Great video! If you get the big bag of peppers at Sam’s, wrap each pepper on Saran Wrap, store in the fridge and it stays perfect for 3 weeks! Learned that from Frum it Up and it works!
I actually learned that from her too! I’ve been using her technique. 😊
Slice up your extra peppers and freeze the slices in a zip-lock freezer bag.
@@EHCBunny4real I do this for soups, but for fajitas they get too mushy for me.
Making your own butter is so so easy if you have a food processor. I love it.
Tortillas are super easy! And using lard makes the best. I used to hate it because I'd roll them out myself, but I got a tortilla press and it is a game changer. Highly recommend
Yes! I still need to get a press before next week when I make tortillas!
Glad I just ran across your channel love to see a great grocery haul 😍😍
😊😊😊

Adding vinegar to a load of towels at the rinse will help remove the soap build up that makes your towels stiff!
If you look closer at ALL the Dawn soap it DOES say dishwashing soap. It’s towards the bottom. It’s in smaller letters.
My grandson played with little people, that been 15 yrs ago. He’s 20 now, but I haven’t seen them since. Great walk through. We love our Keurig we have no health problems with it. Sorry to hear you do. Thank you for sharing.
I’m so glad you’re able to use your Keurig with no problems! And I tend to see Little People sets at Target quite a bit. Such fun toys. 😊
I love your videos! The Dawn had me perplexed, so I called Dawn Customer Service. The gentleman that I spoke to, said they are in the process of changing the directions. He said it it is a 2 in 1. It cleans dishes and removes 99% of bacteria on hands. He said they have had many calls about this. 😊
3 and 4 dollars per shirt is literally cheaper than goodwill now!
About the salad going bad: I totally also go through phases where I dislike it 😂 BUT I have 2 bunnies and honestly they are soo helpful! Haven’t had to throw away veggies ever since! They eat almost everything including kitchen scraps 😄
That is so nice. The kids really want a bunny. We have about six bunnies that go around in our front yard. Maybe we could leave it for them.
Make the butter, there ain’t nothing to it especially if you have a mixer. Plus you get yummy buttermilk out of it that makes delicious homemade biscuits.
Another great haul sis !
Love Little People toys! My kids are 2.5 years apart so those were great for the older ones to play imaginary play while not be a choking hazard for the little one 😅
It's hand soap and dish washing liquid. "Dawn Antibacterial dishwashing liquid dish soap fights grease on dishes-fights bacteria on hands."
I buy my butter from the hutterites for $2 and buy 10 at a time and toss them in the freezer. With the soap you can use dish soap and fill a foaming container with part water for your hands.
So glad I am watching your video as I shop, I saw you picked batteries and I almost forgot.
Here to help!! 🤣😊
And thank you for the dawn info! I bought it and have been washing my dishes with it!
Crazy right?!
I just made a comment on this. Read your label towards the bottom it says "dishwashing liquid". All Dawns are all dish washing liquid and antibacterial hand soap. Soap doesn't clean bacteria off dishes, heat does. Hope this helps! 😁😁
My dawn says dishwashing liquid, I do put some in a soap dispenser with some water and use it for hand soap in the kitchen! I’m such a rebel…😂
😂😂 You ARE a rebel! 😂😂
I love love love the cheese and peanut butter crackers 😋. I love all things peanut butter
🥜 🧀 😊😊😊
Little people just came out with a Barbie collection !
The Doughertys spend over $1000 a week on groceries 🤣 girl they need to take a page outta ur book
yes you should make your own butter
Buying cream from the store and making butter is expensive if you can source cream or whole milk that you can skim from a local dairy that would be the way to go
Yes Ma'am! 5min in the air fryer for the Cresent rolls.
Yum!
I was also given a tip that if you have lime scale distilled vinegar on the stain and a towel over it for 24 hours and it will come up
That explains why the green Dawn SUCKS at cleaning my dishes lmao
All Dawns are all dish washing liquid and antibacterial hand soap. Soap doesn't clean bacteria off dishes, heat does. The label has both on there! Silly Dawn!
Hi Meghan! I thought your total at Sam's Club was going to be 300.00 or 400.00 dollars.
My grandson Jordan and my granddaughter Abbie have came and left and I miss them already.
Abbie loved making and baking with me.
The pumpkin chocolate chip bread came out amazing!!
Enjoyed going grocery shopping with you again. Wonderful shopping trip! Have a wonderful weekend with your family.
love this video !!
You can use any cookie cutter to make shaped pancakes! Just make sure they’re metal so they don’t melt but be careful bc they will be hot 😅
I didn’t know there was a cake recipe on the back of the Hershey cocoa I’ll have to try that thanks !
Yes! Try it. So so good.
I have been adding Vinegar into my washer with every load. I am trying to teach my teenage son to do it with his clothes too, since most of them are sports worn.
Yes! It works really well on sports clothing! I use it in every load too!
Great haul. You should have gotten the salted butter 😅 I really need to try that chocolate cake recipe. Will have to watch your video again as we don't have that brand here. Not bad for a monthly shop for a family of 7🤗
I’m the same way with you I go to the grocery store once a month my mom did it when we lived on the farm she hardly ever went only once a month unless we absolutely needed something
Heyyyy and Happy Saturday love your haul ❤️❤️
Happy Saturday!
Happy Saturday
It was the “should I make my own butter” comment that got me to subscribe! Lol great video :) I am definitely going to try out the vinegar hack.
Welcome! And yes - vinegar in the wash works really well!
the choc chips are great in pancakes in my humble opinion
Agreed!
My bottle of Dawn Apple does say hand soap but it also says dishwashing liquid. 🤷🏻♀️
Yep!! All Dawns are all dish washing liquid and antibacterial hand soap. Soap doesn't clean bacteria off dishes, heat does. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Apple butter, yum! My mom used to make it and nothing has compared since!
The Farfalle pasta you wondered about is pronounced, "far-FALL-ay." The dill you saw is how it is when you grow it yourself. I grow it. l
I would love to see you make your own butter. Great shopping trip!
I’ve got to try it at least, right?!
The price of groceries there are more than here in Maine.The butter especially! our's is like 3 for challenge. butter is hard to make!
Hello from Germany🇩🇪
I think they prices are insane over there.. it's like here in Germany not payable anymore .. I mean you are handle it very well by looking how much is each product and what you can make out of it.
And it's very interesting what they got over there. Also vielen Dank und hab eine schöne Zeit. Viele Grüße aus Mannheim/Deutschland 💜💐
Hallo und Danke! ❤️😊❤️ I hear so many differing views on our prices compared to Europe. Amazing how different the prices can be.
Thank you for pointing out the dawn hand soap. I kept telling hubby and another lady it was not dish washing soap even pointing out the directions and they still didn't believe me.
I just made a comment on this. Read your label towards the bottom it says "dishwashing liquid". All Dawns are all dish washing liquid and antibacterial hand soap. Soap doesn't clean bacteria off dishes, heat does. Hope this helps! 😁😁
@@SnowGardener thx I'll have to check next time.
Hey Meghan!! Im not sure if you noticed, but on the bottle of the Antibacterial Dawn Apple Blossom Hand Soap it also says dishwashing liquid. You pointed it out on the regular dawn bottles but I noticed it says “Dishwashing Liquid” on the hand soap one too! So weird 🤣🤣🤣
Someone pointed that out… you’re right. VERY WEIRD!!! 🤣😳🤪🙃
@@Thegrocerylady Brands love to make things difficult for us!!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@hailey339 I’m a simply woman. Make.it.clear!! 😂
@@Thegrocerylady Me too!!! 🤣❤️❤️
Yes!! All Dawns are all dish washing liquid and antibacterial hand soap. Soap doesn't clean bacteria off dishes, heat does. Some silly marketing there!
Homemade tortillas are awesome. I like to make some "regular" ones and some seasoned with taco seasoning and sometimes lime too. Cut your tortillas in triangles for nacho chips.
Yum! Love the lime idea… though I love all things lime!
I’ve used the green apple Dawn for years for dishwashing. I’ve never noticed it says hand soap 😜
I just looked it up and found that it’s designed to be used on dishes, but will also kill germs on your hands.
Yep!! All Dawns are all dish washing liquid and antibacterial hand soap. Soap doesn't clean bacteria off dishes, heat does.
I am screaming..."Why only 1 box of Crispix...aaaahhhh get 2 boxes...save money!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Glad to see a sensible grocery haul. This video just came up my recommended page after watching the Dougherty Dozen grocery hauls. That was a ton of food hoarding and wasting. Also, do the grocery stores you go to have something like a rewards card? Mine has and after a long time of using it, I was able to buy my usual bi-monthly groceries at less than $10.
Sam’s Club has a reward system. We use our cash back rewards to pay the yearly fee. Meijer has an app with some rewards as well. Usually if you spend a certain amount in a month you get between $7-10 off a future purchase.
Fantastic to hear your rewards can save you so much!
If you want to make your own butter. Then it is because you want to control what goes into it. Because you will not do it cheaper then you can buy it.
Fab haul as always. I wish I was as disciplined with not buying items we don't need. I'm getting better but still buy way too much xx
Baby steps, right?!
@@Thegrocerylady exactly. 😁 xx

That's ok, i found vinegar in with the chocolate syrup at Walmart the other day and I laughed for like 20 minutes I thought it was hilarious.
I dont get why they make flushabel wipes when you arent supost too flush annything exept toiletpaper.
Next year if not sooner , we will have a New Meijer's Grocery store , personally I rather have an Wegman Grocery store.
Wegman's , My favorite Grocery Store in The United States. There's NO STORE LIKE WEGMAN'S.
When we are on Vacation , we will stop by grocery stores we have never been too. Plus when my spouse traveled
throughout USA to work , I was able to go with him and I would visit the stores.
Know that we are Retired Early, we have more time.
I just noticed this the other day Walmart now sells butcher paper right by the parchment paper
You should make your own butter & the only ingredients that you need to make butter is heavy whipping cream & salt if you want to make salted butter but if you want unsalted butter then you just need heavy whipping cream. If you make your own butter you would way spend more on heavy whipping cream & salt vs buying butter that's already made because buying butter will cost less than buying heavy whipping cream &/or salt which is used to make butter
You do know you can reuse parchment paper, don’t you? Wash and reuse unless it is burnt and needs to be tossed. It actually works better when it is washed because it is more flexible.
When I use the parchment paper in my Dutch oven (for my sourdough) I reuse it once and then it begins to crumble. I make sourdough quite a bit so I need a good amount of parchment paper.
The farfalle is 98cents at Aldis and Wal Mart!
My fam are Barilla fans. We’ve done the other brands and they aren’t the same. ☹️
Good haul! I have used the Dawn antibacterial soap for my dishes for years. I thouhgt it was for dishes.
I just made a comment on this. Read your label towards the bottom it says "dishwashing liquid". All Dawns are all dish washing liquid and antibacterial hand soap. Soap doesn't clean bacteria off dishes, heat does. Hope this helps! 😁😁
Hi I’m new to your channel I’m enjoying your large grocery haul
Welcome!! 😊
The Dawn, so confusing. Will need to check bottles now.
It’s a goofy thing they have going on.
Love the glasses!
When I make a box cake, once in a blue moon....I always add a couple of spoonfuls of mayo....makes it taste homemade. Why...I could not tell you! HA
Lol! You totally own an air fryer if your oven is convection, it is really a GIANTAir fryer!! Xoxo please try and make your own butter!!! Yummmmmo. Kitchen Aid and whipping cream! No salt for you! Lol. Cheers❤️
😊😊😊 I do have a convection oven but I don’t use that feature. I’ve actually been telling myself I need to look into it lately. Yes to the butter!
@@Thegrocerylady convection cooks things faster because of the fan blowing the hot air around in the oven. It is essentially a very large air fryer. I love it because I have 2 huge teenage boys and a 6' 4 husband. My boys can EAT! LOL
sorry, have you checked where your shrimp and tilapia is coming from? it's not the USA.
Gas herein Charlotte North Carolina is $3.99 a gallon.
Meijer has awesome plants.
I wish we had Sams club in canada. If I still lived in Ontario, Id have gotten a club card for trips. Just isn't practical in any other province. I also wish we had a successful super target (ours failed and closed after 2 years) and I also want fred meyers. Even some things you find at american walmarts I'd love to see up here. Just the bulk sizes of things
New to your channel. I think I need to continue watching for grocery shopping therapy. You do great at admiring an item and putting it back because of the price or it’s not needed. Great teaching lesson. Something’s that you buy not sure why you didn’t buy them at Sam’s($, quality, taste, like the eggs and butter). I don’t have Sam’s near me. I do have a store called Grocery Outlet. Things like your crescent biscuits are as low as 2/99cts. Happy shopping.
Welcome! Glad you’re here. As for eggs… Because I can’t see inside the egg carton and it’s covered so I can’t open it, I often find broken eggs. I would just rather buy from Meijer where I can see all the eggs. As for the butter we really like Challenge butter and they don’t sell that at Sam’s.
Hi from Canada, we don't have a meijer here, I don't think well I don't think in Canada. I mostly saw different brands. I noticed the bacon there is a bit thicker than here maybe that's why Canadian bacon is a thing. Lol. I don't know but enjoyed your post. I just followed. You are interesting and how you shop. I will keep watching.
Loving your sunglasses lady....😎😎
So with the vinegar, I've heard of the same thing, that you can use it in place of softener. I've been wanting to use it for my cardigans to get them soft again, but I'm having doubts. Does vinegar take away the color of the clothes?
I haven’t noticed any issues with the vinegar taking color away.. I wouldn’t pour it directly onto dry clothes, but adding like you would add softener should be fine. You could always try it out with towels and see what you think.
@@Thegrocerylady thank you for that. I’ll definitely try it.
@@ShortBandGeek09 let me know how it goes! 😊
@@Thegrocerylady thank you for the suggestion! I tried it on towels and it worked!
@@ShortBandGeek09 yay!! So glad you tried it and it worked!! 😊😊
LUCKY. ours is $5.11 as of yesterday. Ill take 3 something a gallon. :)
😬😳
I add 2 small cans of pineapple juice to my lemonade, so yummy. Also, add ice to blender with lemonade for frozen lemonade, refreshing on these hot summer days. Always enjoy your shopping prep and trips.
Wow our gas is still $4.45. Great haul.
Gas is $6.17 where I live. That’s crazy cheap!
Yikes. 😬😬😬
Looked like the decorations are for spring
I was watching some other videos and there was in Costco Christmas items in July.
What's going on 😁
Love your grocery hauls😍😍, made me hungry
Specially in end ice-cream 😋😋😋
What is going on???? So so weird.
Get use to it. Most stores get there merchandise with long delays. No stores ever had that much summer stock in July.
Honestly we have couple pots of coffee a day...Lol
Bring on the coffee!!!!
Hi megan.trying to catch up on your volgs.since I new.your cake.came out great.correct me if I spelled your name wrong.😍
Hi Janet! My name is spelled Meghan. 😊
@@Thegrocerylady Thanks
Gas is down here in Ca too…$4.97 today!!! Yay!!!
Yay!!
$4.15 in Minnesota currently. It has been going down here it was $4.75 at one point. Miss the $1.85 gas that's for sure.
You did good! Especially with the higher prices!
I'm going to check out that chocolate cake recipe.
If you're planning on getting that sable palm plant, keep it away from your pets. They're poisonous for them. I have three huge ones in my front yard.
I did read that those plants are poisonous for animals and should be kept away from children too. I’m not sure what my cat would do, so it’s likely never going to come home with me. ☹️
@@Thegrocerylady Better to be safe than sorry.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I sent you a message also on IG because I can't insert screenshots here. Very interesting Dawn information. 3X the grease cutting with Dawn original blue dishwashing liquid. The others that say handsoap say 2X. Interesting
What? I had no idea that was hand soap since it's by dish soap. I've bought and used that for dishes many times. 🤦🏼♀️ I didn't die lol
I just made a comment on this. Read your label towards the bottom it says "dishwashing liquid". All Dawns are all dish washing liquid and antibacterial hand soap. Soap doesn't clean bacteria off dishes, heat does. Hope this helps! 😁😁
I wish I could send you some dill!. My garden was overtaken by dill this year 🥴😂
Can you not buy the coffee at your local Starbucks?
Definitely can. Didn’t think of that. They only sell 1 pound bags though. I really like the bigger bags. But I may have to do that. I know Meijer has the kind that I want in smaller bags, too.
@@Thegrocerylady you could always ask them if they can get bigger bags for you. In UK we can buy smaller bags but getting a few of them will be good
Greetings from Germany Meghan 😊
You can get the melatonin in that brand at Sams!! It’s a way better deal! For next time ;)
Good thinking! Thank you 🙏
I think it’s funny how she Coudry board is an adult Lunch a bowl
OMG I still have to go on vacation and seeing fall decorations already out makes me cringe xD Yes, you are pronouncing farfalle right (FARfalle, accent on "FAR") and correct, it means butterflies. I wish I could find eggo waffles here because I love Stranger Things and I want to taste them so much :D What do you use applesauce for? Another thing we don't have here... we only have apple juice but it's very liquid. Massive hugs from Italia :)
Hopefully you can try Eggo Waffles some day! 😀
As for applesauce - it’s something the kids just eat as it is… sprinkled with cinnamon sometimes. Like how you would eat yogurt. Not as smooth as baby food. I also have it with pork chops or bake with it.
good haul video
Dawn...dawn..dawn!! Here is some more information for you as I understand it. Dawn soap is antibacterial on your hands, not on your dishes. Look at the Apple Blossom bottle again...at the bottom of the label, right above the size of the bottle it says "dishwashing liquid." Directly from Dawn's website regarding your Apple Blossom- "Cleans dishes and removes 99% of bacteria on hands." Boom...mic drop! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🎤🎤🎤
How many kids do you have ??
I have 5 children.
hi
The last two weeks I stay on my budget for a hundred dollars or less
Wait the gree apple dawn isn't dish soap
I just made a comment on this. Read your label towards the bottom it says "dishwashing liquid". All Dawns are all dish washing liquid and antibacterial hand soap. Soap doesn't clean bacteria off dishes, heat does. Hope this helps! 😁😁
Oklahoma Sam's $3.54 a gallon!
Not too bad
I have A keurig can u tell me about it
I was experiencing a lot of headaches, fatigue, stomach bloating and discomfort. I stopped using my Keurig and within 24 hours I felt completely better. It was only a few months old, I deep cleaned it, and tried other brands/types of k-cups. Nothing helped except getting rid of it.
