I love that you let your kids have sweets in moderation. Your family eats so healthy and I think you do an amazing job balancing it all out! You have a precious family!❤❤
@@amyrivers4093 Everyone does the best they can. Nobody should be shamed for what they feed their families especially now. You dont know their situation.
Poor Melody 😘, sending prayers for a speedy recovery. Moe is so adorable and the baby is so cute. Such a nice group of children, so caring and loving to each other. ❤😊 Diane from Rhode Island ❤😊
Naomi is such a sweetheart, she takes care of her younger siblings and they all love her so much. Neta is getting cuter and cuter, such a big smile all the time. All of your kids are beautiful. ❤️✌🏻
Good on you, Elijah, for sneaking in to see and hear Robert Downey Jr.! More power to you!! I'm glad you are breaking up the shopping trips a little. I was worried about Marc being too tired after work to shop, but he is amazing and does what needs to be done!!💪 After Marc gave you the Costco total-"It's $1900 and something something." That was funny, Amber! 😄
Amber you can freeze milk and take out to defrost as needed. Naomi is so talented, she bakes, crochets and plays multiple instruments. I just love her ❤
@@christyhoehn8244 When my girl was a baby she could only drink regular milk. I froze it all the time. A lot of women freeze breast milk also. Have a good day.
Times are tough right now, impressed by your efforts to keep everyone healthy and fed! Side note: Elijiah, I LOVE Robert Downey Jr.! What an experience! 🎉❤ blessings for all!
I think this is the best shop with me style video I've ever seen. I don't typically like this style because most people show a lot of items that they aren't even buying and you don't really get to see what they actually got and the total. It just feels like they're giving me a tour of the store which isn't what I want to see. I usually just watch the haul videos after everything is home. It was really nice that you just showed what you were getting and why and gave the totals and not a bunch of random items. Thanks for the great video.
You and your hubby has done a wonderful job with your children. Your oldest daughter that's holding baby boy head is gonna be a great mom just like you ❤❤❤❤❤
Congratulations to whoever did Melody's hair. Very nice.😊 Your Costco bill seemed OK for what you bought. The monthly shopping appears to be working out for you. Saves lots of time and parking fees at Costco.
If you buy meat in boxes, like pork butt or some other cuts It is cheaper too. You call the meat department ahead and reserve it for you. Ask them what it comes per pound. They need to know the date and time you come to pick it up.
Another great shopping haul. Nice to see the older kids helping out with the shopping. Anna and Chloe, awesome helpers. Love the apartment down stairs. Nice you, have so much room. Great job Marc loading and unloading the van.
Hi all, getting groceries for your family is a job! Everyone is so good and helps a lot!! The kids are just adorable. I'm glad you have a full pantry and other essentials in stock! Great job on the spiderman Naomi!!
How about using 3 or 4 crockpots to make dinner in the morning? Then you have dinner ready with a salad. So much easier than making dinner for a large family from start in the evening.😊
My only comment is that perhaps you should buy more bulk items. If there are things you buy every month that are shelf stable (beans, rice, grains, pasta, etc.), it may save you money in the long run. Even though my family is much smaller than yours, I find the savings to be worth it.
Costco has their cookies and different buns frozen in big boxes. You could buy them and bake them as you need. I take the buns out, put them on the sheets and let them thawing and rising for some hours, then bake. It is cheaper and convenient. You ask a worker in the bakery for those.
I enjoy all your videos but I like the shopping ones. I have to shop online now because of chronic pain but when I was able I would go to many markets. Your children are so helpful and very well behaved. Love your videos of the children playing music they are ultra talented! God Bless all of you.🙏❤
Just curious when you asked your husband about what type of roast he picked you said you like to keep your beef feeding low. Why would that be,beef especially grass fed beef is very nutritious for your children. You and your husband. Maybe I’m a little biased as I am a Rancher.
Wow that’s a lot of fun healthy food very colourful food which makes it very inviting to eat mo is so cute in his bday. Clothes Naomi is so talented in so many ways she is a blessing to your family and the world
That's alot of yummy food and hope you all are doing well and having a wonderful day today and lots of hugs to you all sweet dearest friends The Happy Caravan 😊❤
I just bought $350 worth of groceries today because I lost all my food to Hurricane Milton. I had to get my neighbor to help me carry them in! I can't imagine carrying in and putting that much food away! ( I live in Bradenton where the center of the hurricane hit)
The limes made me think of Amy in Little Women--one of my favorite books and movies. That is great that you have the space to store the food and that you save time. All of you make grocery shopping look fun. You are well organized with your menu planning. The cassoroles looked delicious. Neta is a cutie.
You might ask the meat department about buying a case of ground beef or chicken for the month. I have a Sam's membership but they offer a discount on cases of meat. It sure helps the budget when feeding a large family!
I enjoy your hauls. My check engine light is on all the time. Took it to the shop he said nothing wrong just a short. My car is old 2000 Saturn so hope nothing is wrong with your van. Have a great weekend.
Have you shopped Wild Fork Foods? High quality products at Trader Joe’s prices- very low delivery costs. They sell frozen cherries and bread with unbleached flour!
Sam club is in NYC they delivery in most cases free. You can look on line Just saying in case you need something like that It is fun to watch the shopping trips
You do an amazing job, thanks for taking us along :) Have you tried the Soy-chorizo from TJs? It is such a cheap and delicious protein source that’s really not distinguishable from meat.
Good to see you guys. Haven't had Internet and still don't in 2 wks. No phone lines and electric was out for a wk and a half. Internet is spotty. Marc does a great job stacking groceries in the van. Robert Downey Jr is a great actor. You're lucky Elijah to get to meet him. We had stuff stocked up for floods because if water gets high we can get stranded in. When Hurricane Helene hit it was the worst I had ever seen here in Ashe NC. Our neighbors and families who lived near the river lost so much. It's sad. We just lost our driveway and trees were down all over the place. It is sad. You have such a beautiful family. Take care and God bless you all from NC. 🙏💙🙏
@@TheHappyCaravan Thank you so much. You're a wonderful family. It's going to be awhile before things are put back together here in our county but everyone is working hard and things are going to be fine. We have God on our side. If I miss some videos when I get Internet I'll go back and get caught up. Take care. 🙏💙🙏
New subscriber. Looking forward to your channel and journey. God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻 💜💕✝️✨️🙏🏻
Would be nice if you could live out of the city and have a garden . Little farm with cattle. & chickens . My husband had 9 brother and sisters and I also grew up on a farm . We grew and raised our own food for our families. We canned a lot because that was just the way it was. I don’t know how you do it today the price of groceries . Wish you well. Sweet family.
Hi, not being judgmental but I learned only use wine you would drink. I buy white and red when they are on sale. Lasts a long time. Also, use fresh parsley, basil and oregano. The taste is so much better. But, you are raising an amazing family. So refreshing to see young girls dressed appropriately and the boys so clean cut. God bless you and your beautiful family. From hubby’s email address
That is a LOT of milk 😮😮😮 We don’t avoid drinking milk, but literally cannot remember the last time anyone in our home ‘drank’ milk??? Like it’s been years & years. We just drink water with meals I guess. Never really thought about it. I just don’t spend money on drinks.
That was a big haul! The kids were so helpful. How did Marc fit all of that in the car?! Have you found that it's more efficient to shop monthly rather than weekly? Thank you for another great video! 🙏❤
Funny, you say you shop once a month for your family of 13. I go to Costco every other day and shop for just me. Actually once a week for me, but been going twice a week because I like to play the Roland piano they have now. 🎹 👍
Have you ever thought about buying azure standard you can buy items in bulk there. I watch a lot of youtubers with large family uses use this azure standard just thought I'd give you some good info❤
Love the Spider-Man Naomi made!
I pray all have a amazing month with mommy meals. You guys plan some amazing meals.
I love that you let your kids have sweets in moderation. Your family eats so healthy and I think you do an amazing job balancing it all out! You have a precious family!❤❤
I was just about to say this exact same thing! 💯
I agree with everything you said. It shows when you see other large families shopping hauls on youtube.
@@amyrivers4093 Everyone does the best they can. Nobody should be shamed for what they feed their families especially now. You dont know their situation.

WOW!!! Hats off to Mark for the most amazing packing and stacking of all those groceries onto the van! VERY well done!! 😊watching from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
This is really a team effort! Shout out to Marc for being a great leader and organizing so well! 🙏🏼

Naomi did an excellent job on Spiderman. All the children are so talented.
She sure did, my 3year old nephew who lives for spiderman would love one. Did she follow a pattern??
Naomi is so very talented between all her baking an now crocheting. Netta is just so cute she is growing up so fast
Amber you can freeze milk and take out to defrost as needed. Naomi is so talented, she bakes, crochets and plays multiple instruments. I just love her ❤
Naomi is very talented. She did a great job on Spider-Man. Bake, crochet, and play instruments. Wonderful young lady.
I did not know that you could freeze milk!!!! Great info!

@@christyhoehn8244 you’re welcome.
You need to take a cup or so out of each gallon before freezing.
I just loved watching Melody Joy do that happy dance for getting her mango! ❤
Times are tough right now, impressed by your efforts to keep everyone healthy and fed! Side note: Elijiah, I LOVE Robert Downey Jr.! What an experience! 🎉❤ blessings for all!
I’m impressed with all of the whole foods you feed your family. Compared to other big family TH-cam channels this is great.
Yes she's give completed nutrients and have balance That's is REAL! Love that about her

How about using 3 or 4 crockpots to make dinner in the morning? Then you have dinner ready with a salad. So much easier than making dinner for a large family from start in the evening.😊
glad to the amount of what you have stocked up on. very helpful to cut costs down in the future.
Enjoyed the video. Really glad to have discovered your channel; not just fun, but calming to watch.
I live in less than $1900 ss, taking care of fam of 5 in every way. I live vicariously thru peoples grocery hauls! Fun fun fun !!!!!!

Yes! We mail order pasta but I should get more bulk items too I think.
Thanks for sharing with us. You have a lovely family. 🙂

Eating healthy now days is so hard to do I commend you guys on doing what you do for your clan. I know so many families are forced to skimp right now.
I miss your weekly grocery hauls!

Hoping you get relief soon❤
Blessings to you all ❤😊
Very impressive grocery shopping and storage, thanks for sharing!

Great haul !!!! Healthy Foods !!!! I'll be returning to watch more.
Oh my goodness, how Neta has grown! Lovely to see everyone helping - it's a rare thing to see
Drinking milk is a good source of protein and calcium for the kids 😊
Your husband is unbelievable and y9ur kids are magnificent ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Bless you beautiful Amber
I love how. You tell us your meals for the month 🤗🏴🫶🙏
Such a HEALTHY shopping trip ❤❤❤ Excellent job!!

Just saying in case you need something like that
It is fun to watch the shopping trips
@@TrudieHagen I prefer Costco over Sam’s
You remind me of Jennifer Garner. Beautiful family, just remember to treat each child like they are included. Enoch looks to be left out a lot.
Yay! I'm so excited to watch your video tonight. Love and blessings to all❤
You do an amazing job, thanks for taking us along :) Have you tried the Soy-chorizo from TJs? It is such a cheap and delicious protein source that’s really not distinguishable from meat.
Oh that sounds yummy!
What a sweet family :) Costco and Traders are my 2 go to stores. as well.... but it's just me lol Gilbert, Arizona here :) Me
My kids did not get sick often and didn’t share their germs when they were sick. ❤

Why switch to monthly instead of your usual weekly? Delivery?? Our family froze milk for years..worked great!
We’ve found we save quite a bit of time and a bit of money too.
Hello beautiful lovely family, kisses from Norway ❤ so good that you guys buy eggs from free chicken🙏
To save money on milk, mix 1/2 gallon of milk with powdered milk (powdered milk and water).
If you freeze the milk make sure you take about a cup out as it expands👍
I think Lincoln Market is Marc’s favorite. His whole face lights up😊
🥰❤️
Hi Amber and Marco I love the spider man Naomi is so wonderful
Never seen anything like it and hope i never will again.. too amazing.

Have you ever heard that coconut aminos are a healthy substitute for soy sauce? They should sell it at Trader Joe’s! They do here! 😊
@@andreabreuninger2683 oh that’s a good idea!
Usually with Check Engine Light it can be as simple as the gas cap not being on correctly. Hopefully nothing to manager

Yes! Marc was able to fit it all in! Tetris style haha! It does seem to help save time and also money as it keeps the impulse spending lower.
@@TheHappyCaravan And you save on parking the van!
Always feels good to get stocked up
Beautiful family
U should try strawberry jam on the croissants, I have them for breakfast( from uk). Lovely family ❤
Have you cooked a meal yet? Or still letting others do the work?
That is work but great planning for your family❣️
Get your van looked. If you don’t have a diagnostic reader. Oreilys or advance will check for free.

I was thinking it would be a lot better if you went on different days too.Thats a lot of groceries to try to get in one trip😥Love your videos🥰
I love watching your videos! Your family is such an inspiration! Just curious, does shopping once a month end up saving you money?
Yes! It helps us spend less on impulse purchases.
Amber, have you tried Azure Standard Fosbury g bulk organic? I love your family and videos. Thank you! God bless!
Yes! I would love to try it! The drop off is pretty far from our house but I would love to plan a day to pick it up!
Have you ever thought about buying azure standard you can buy items in bulk there. I watch a lot of youtubers with large family uses use this azure standard just thought I'd give you some good info❤
Yes! I’d love to try that!
Naomi should sell that Spider-Man online I bet a lot of people would buy it as well as others
