Low Budget, Once-a-Month Grocery Haul for our LARGE FAMILY!

It's time to restock the pantry! I have $1100 to provide all of our food and household needs from the grocery store for our family of NINE for the month. I've carefully planned out where to shop and what prices are the best. I've studied the sale ads and I know which stores have the best prices. Today's shopping comes from 10 Box, Aldi, Kroger, Dollar Tree, and Wal-Mart. Later in the month, I'll make purchases from Sam's Club and Azure Standard. Come see the supplies a large family needs to live off of for a month! #aldi #walmarthaul #krogerdeals

If you're interested in purchasing from Azure Standard, please consider using my referral link so our family can receive a credit towards our next order! Thank you so much! #azurestandard

Dear Janice, I am a 63 year old widow with one son whom I cherish and love so much. My husband was 56 when he passed of colon cancer. I am not here looking for sympathy on that. God called him home. I will tell you I ran across your channel sometime ago and just kept on you and your family for sometime now. I work 6 days a week a week 13 hrs a day to pay my bills. I want to tell you how much I look forward to coming home and watching you and you beautiful family. Even your voice is very warm and welcoming and so very much appreciated. THANK YOU all for letting me in.

I learned from you to watch for reduced salad kits. Today, I was finally able to come across some. I literally said out loud, “I scored a Janice!”😂❤

[nanette]

I have done this kind of shopping for years, it takes an incredible amount of work that is often taken for granted. You are an incredible mom and your family is so lucky. Ty for sharing!

I live in Muskogee Ok. There is a 10 Box here, I haven't been there. But, since watching you I will be going. Since I usually shop monthly, Social Security. I missed out on the roasts last week, but will pick up steak and potatoes. I am 78 and a widow, I really miss red meat. Haven't had steak in 2 years and I love chuck roast. With fall and winter coming this will be a real treat. I will get a package of those steaks and make each one smaller repackage and freeze. If roasts go back on sale you can bet I will get some and cut them down to fit my little crock pot. I love you and your wonderful family. And I have sewed all my life. My
God bless your beautiful family. My only child lives in California, so when I watch your channel it really fills my heart.❤

I love watching you stretch your grocery budget and I have learned so much by doing so!! Thank you Janice!!

[Natalie-ympj]

I've learned so much from you Janice I really appreciate you, and all the hard work you do. Since we live fairly close our sale adds are the same!! I have my notebook next to me and write down all the sale items I need. You and Shawn are wonderful parents, please ignore anyone who says anything different. You have a kind sweet heart and soul❤. Natalie in desloge❤

You found great sales Janice as always. When I watch other channels that talk about saving money on groceries I always reference your channel and Joyfully Thriving. Both your channels have the best stock up and savings advice. I hope this helps your channel grow too. Have a blessed week.

Hi Janice. First time viewer here. What struck me immediately about you is that you are genuine! Not one of those other super-fake, overly made-up etc women. I like you. You are REAL!🙌🏿 Well done, lady! Nice haul! ❤

[jeanbroman]

Janice enjoy all your videos. You live a great life on a Farm with your husband and sweet children. You have a beautiful soul. Learned a lot on how to shop for the best prices from you!

[LynnGreene-zv]

the Bobby pin was so funny!! probably would not have noticed unless you said something..love your family

[JustTheJesters]

Good morning Janice, Shawn, and beautiful family! I just wanted to tell you that I saved up to finally buy something. It’s not a wishlist item (I’m sorry), but it’s something I’ve seen in the vids i believe since video 1 or 2, so I attempted to get what I THINK it is. But when it comes, it’s supposed to be mainly for Rebekka. And it says delivery on Weds 08. 21. 24 … so maybe check by Thursday next week? It’s nothing huge. But I hope it’s at least useful ❤ ❤ ❤😊

I also get stressed out going into Walmart. It is big, crowded and just a bit much. I'm so happy they remodeled and moved the pharmacy close to the entrance. The only reason I go in is to pick up prescriptions. Now, I can get in and get out. I get most of my groceries delivered because I live on the 3rd floor and cannot lift heavy items. It costs me a premium but it's worth it for me. I really enjoy your videos. Ty!

[leecopeland]

I love to watch your videos! Love you and you sweet family! Your children are the most mature, kind, hard working respectful children I have ever seen! From the 19 yr old Sam down to the 3 yr old precious Rebecca! Every one of them are so unique and special! I loved the one where you interviewed each of them! Love these grocery stock ups also! They are fascinating to me. We don't have the same stores where I live except Walmart and Aldi. I do love Aldi's. God bless❤✝️🕊️

[vikkibyington]

❤ Another shopping episode successfully done! I can't do math so I could never do what you do to plan your shopping trips. You ROCK Janice! ❤❤

[coleenmayfield]

Hello Janice...your saving is amazing. I'm happy you are able to save for your family. It definitely helps so that extra can be put to another use. This is the time everyone is buying peaches around here. They wait until the trucks bring in the Colorado peaches and buy alot to eat, can and make pies etc. They are the best, so much flavor and so juicy! Thank you so much for your videos. I know its alot of work. Now I'm going to travel over and watch your new update on the Summer Kitchen video! 😁 Take care!!

[janicethomas]

You amaze me, Janice, at your experience and ability to comparison shop between groceries for a large family. When working full-time, with a husband who traveled weekly and three children, I was often in survival mode, just able to do my best to make it to one grocery on Saturdays. It is wonderful to see how much of all are training your children to help and do chores, essential to provide them with life skills and a sense of becoming a vital part of the family unit. We did the same, and our children are so appreciative as adults, knowing they received the skills necessary to take care of their own homes and families. Love watching your videos and your calm and loving relationship with your sweet children/husband/family. Great job, Janice…from another Janice 🩷

[Peanut]

You do really great. Keep up the good work. Have a nice

[Arlene-eg]

Among so much more that you are Janice, you are an expert home economist. Cheers All.

[MaryStevens-tbdz]

I just had a Walmart delivery but I just sat down to rest and your vlog came up so I sat and watch what you shopped for. Love to watch your fabulous family.

[Natalie-ympj]

Oh Desloge is getting an Aldi this winter. Should be done around Feb so I won't have to drive to Farmington anymore and the next town over recently opened a 10 Box!!! 🎉🎉🎉
