I'm sure it has been said before but why not get a water machine and the 5 gallon water bottles? The machines have a cold and hot water spout. Very convenient. There is a safety feature on the hot water spout. Seems easier and would take up less space.

Hey sweet girl, wow that was a workout! You did good!!! I wanted to comment on those who ask you about why you buy water and not use the bottles you bought for the kids. Those people don't want an answer, they want to snark and think they are cute. I think you are so kind to answer them and want you to know you are way more kind than I would have been. What you do and buy for your family is none of their business. I have five kids and a ton of grandbabies, and I challenge any one of them to question me on how I conduct what I do or buy for them. I have noticed that a few of the major snark offenders don't have children (thankfully) and have no idea what it takes to feed a family. Yep, you sure do buy alot, and so what! You and Josh are taking damn good care of those kids and my prayer for you both is not to let those out there of don't have a clue get to you. You are a good mama! Don't forget that. You put that smile on every day and let negative people win. Karma is real and it is coming for them Bug Hugs!

You can buy reusable water bottles at Dollar Tree. They may not be fancy if the kids lose them, you're not out a fortune. It's better than hauling water.

We had a high here today of 55. It was chilly. Tomorrow is gonna be a summer day with a high of 60 lol. We are starting to dip in the low 30s at night. I hope it is cold this year that means we get less snow. I have a TBI and snow is hard for me to go out in without falling when there is snow and worse yet is ice under the snow, but everyone who lives from the Midwest over know all about ice and snow. I would live rain and never no snow. We have bottle deposit here also but 10 on each bottle or can. Such a pain to take them back. We save ours and when money gets low they get returned for gas or food. We normally return when we have 40.00 plus in returns. The husband drinks a lot of pop. I am an ice coffee girl myself.

Not trying to be difficult. But how do you keep mice and other creatures from getting into the food in the garage with the garage door open so much?

I love that you show your hauls from BJ's! I also shop at my local BJ's and I've noticed there's not many people on here that I've seen do hauls from there. So thank you so much for sharing this with us! ❤️😁

I love it! Thank you for sharing your life with us. Can't wait for the garage video. Much love. 🤗

Happy Birthday Alicia!! You deserve all the good things in life, i wish you good health and don't ever change, you are beautiful just the way you are, gosh you are an Angel!!! I love you so much and i'am so proud of you!!! 🥰🥰🥰

am autistic and your videos are amazing and I want to have a big family just like your one day but I don't know if I can do it because am autistic. do u think I can do it edit: and I would adopt becaise I was foster from the age of 5y.o I have this amazing foster mam and foster family am out of foster care but my foster family are still with me and I see them as my real family .

Awesome video. Happy Birthday Alicia

Had such a busy week and I now get to catch up on you all xx sending love and hugs to you all xxx

Well, I’m hoping what I saw, as Alicia was unloading the groceries into the van, at the store, was just a fluke, not normal. While you were unloading all the waters, I saw at least 2-4 men walking by, clearly seeing you struggling to get the heavy water cases into the van. Not one time did anyone bother to offer help! Here in Texas, you would have been offered help by several, even women would have offered! It’s just what “we” do, help each-other! Happy Birthday sweet Alicia! It amazes me to watch you and the family. I often wonder how in the world you are able to keep everything, everyone, and all the activities each child has so organized! When my kids were much younger, they would say I was an “organizational freak”! Lol Yet, we never missed or was late to any event/activity they had! But, we were a family of 4, not 14! I can’t wrap my brain around keeping such a large family so organized! Standing ovation to you Alicia!❤

Always enjoy your shopping videos. So not good all those big guys and not one free to help with restock drink detail! haha. Having the lockers, and food pantry shelving against the wall, looks so good.

Happy Birthday Alicia!!🎉

Good Lord, Momma D - my back is KILLING me just watching you work. You’re energy is contagious…❤

Oh my gosh, when the velveeta when on the opposite way I audibly gasped, thank you sooo much for turning it the right way 😅😅

Love the video, as always❤️❤️ and love your outfit girll💕💕

that ice water is sooooooo Good you go Alex💙💙

Hey Miss Alicia. God bless you and the energy you have to haul all of items that you are taking care of right now. I have much respect for you and your Husband on taking care of your 12 children (Babies) but this haul was a lot for me to watch. Take care and be safe ❤️

A good idea is to make a full organizing video after the supermarket

Can you post a video on how you move forward on really rough days? I’m a 27 year old with no kids but sometimes already feel like some days are so hard.

My boyfriend, mum and I are caring for my Mums elderly Auntie who has vascular dementia and some days are really tough, but you and your family inspire me and motivate me through me day! Much love from the UK ❤

I don’t know how you do it all!!! I wish I had your energy.

I fill happy every time I see you buy tons of groceries for your family. I hope someday I get to experience that. God Bless your family.

Alisha to her family, “I can’t be responsible for the way this van looks today!”😄

How did you afford groceries before KZfaq? I can't imagine you shopped like this 4 years ago!

Happy almost birthday, Alicia. What piñata do you want for your party? 😄😊

I can’t wait to see the new pantry shelf layout.

Alicia, Happy Early Birthday!!! 🎉🎉🎉

I grew up in western NY in the 60s & 70s and the deposit law was in effect even then(at least for glass bottles). I distinctly remember rinsing bottles out and taking them back to the store for credit.

Happy Early Birthday. I pray you get a day to yourself. You deserve it! God bless!! Go live on your birthday tomorrow.

I have been missing your shopping videos, but I understand being busy,I hope all is well and happy birthday early

Hi! I love your videos. Can you do a budget video? Or a how to get into a routine video/ waking up early?

Bout to hit a million!

Omg Zoey’s hair looks so good! maintain those waves girl!!

Great haul 🎉 I love the colour of your top Have a good day today Alicia

Alicia, I think your family should go on a Cruise (disney is a fun one - but Royal Carribean is too). your kids would love it! They have like special things for them in each age group. You get to visit different beaches and do fun excursions to learn about the country or island you visit. I would love to see that Vacay vlog! I know if the money tree had fruit!.... I just like cruises because I know my kiddos are safe, and we get to do so much and it is paid for beforehand, they can do everything! Just a thought!

Velveeta!!! Yay! 🧀🎉

Love watching your grocery hauls. I'm with you, I'm not a huge breakfast person either. For some reason it's much easier to eat in the afternoon.

I was curious about another haul video coming out :)

Yass, shopping related vids my fav type of videos from you 😄💕

That's a LOT of work! Wholesale haul is never easy if youre the only one whose doing it. Godbless your heart and your health ma'am and also your family.. Btw I can't wait to celebrate your 1M subscribers! 🙌🧡

I love your videos you are so kind Happy early birthday

I love your videos!!!

Happy birthday Alicia have a great day today. I think it is wonderful that you adopt and foster kids it takes a wonderful person to do that .

I wish I could do this. I’m a disabled widow and an autistic son. I would love to fill my cabinets. I have to buy 300-400 in Body Armor to keep my kidneys functioning. Being diabetic I can’t drink the gaterade. I’m also allergic to artificial sweeteners and on insulin because of it. Love your videos so much. Such a beautiful family. When I lived in Maine we had 12 kids. I have 7 (blended) with my husband (RIP).

Happy early birthday Alicia💗

You are really getting your workout. No gym for you. Happy birthday kind and gentle spirit.

Your kids lost their YETI water bottles?!

That was work! Take it easy. Hope you have great Birthday tomorrow. ❤

I look forward to these every week ☺️❤️

You throwing the boxes into the back of the car is so relatable lol At some point I just start chucking things in and wish for the best.😂

Happy Birthday! I'm watching this on Sunday, Oct 9, so wishing you a blessed birthday!

Doesn't have to be a $30 water bottle buy cheap one's and teach them to be responsible 👍

Happy Birthday tomorrow 🎉🎉. Hope it’s a blessed one and the best ever!

I Have no idea how you have a budget like that for food n supplies with these kind of prices!! But that is so awesome you adopted that many kids. Im 24 and am adopted myself im greatful for people like you to take in children. ♥♥

No Celsius water for Nevaeh??? I absolutely love it! Thank you Nevaeh 💝

I agree with the water bottle thing!

I love your videoes☺ You are such a good mom❤

Love Your Videos Keep Up The Great Work

I just love the twins so much. Jason’s love for you is so pure .

I'd leave in box n just open 1 box at a time. but that's me I think I'm going to turn my craft room in to a pantry n storage area

Happy birthday we share the same day ! 🎉🥳 also I’m surprised no one offered to help you load everything in the car! Those drinks are heavy! I live in New York too and i had the heat on in the morning and the ac on in the afternoon temp is crazy here this time of year!!

A couple of questions 1. Why do you use paper plates and bowls, instead of China ones? 2. What is wrong with drinking water from the tap? I boil mine all the time and have a jug in the fridge all the time.

Happy Birthday!

Love your videos! 🤩🤩🤩💯👍🏽

i absolutely LOVE your videos so much! you guys are amazing! my kids also love the velveeta cups so they are a staple in our house as well...i buy tonsssss all of the times they go so fast lol. your grocery hauls are so satisfying haha love it

I was wondering if your garage ever gets little critters. I leave in the suburbs and on a very rare occasion we have seen a field mice. 🐭

Awww happy early birthday to you Alicia enjoy your birthday celebration..🌷🌷🌷🎈🎈🎈

You would rather hurt the environment then recycle water because you don’t teach your kids responsibilities 🤦‍♀️

Love your channel!

I would have loved to have had a family like yours. Unfortunely because my mother took DES while carrying me I could not have any and too poor to adopt. So I love watching you and your family but always amazed at the food you have to buy, It is just me and my hubby and we have had to cut back on what we buy because everything has goten so expensive. I love how you treat those kids and coming from Mormon stock where so many have large families really envy it all. You are great parents and are raising a great family. God bless all of you.

I really want to organize your storage lol😆 Keep it up💕

The sports tops fit the other bottles to so wash them in hot soapy water and vinegar..

Thank you for turning my mood around! I’ve had a horrible day my internet company charged me twice the same amount I didn’t find out until I tried to go grocery shopping and my card was declined 😢 on top of that our landlord told us he is selling the house we’ve been in for almost 6 years and we have 30 days to be out 😢 God Bless Your Family

I am so impressed with you even temper with all your kids. I was so stressed with three and their friends. YOU ARE A-MA-ZING!

Deposit for the bottles and cans.😂 In Germany it's 25 cents per bottle and 15 cents per can. So than you think twice about throwing a bottle in the trash. And for a family of 5 basically adults now we have about 20€ of "Leergut" as we call ist in about a week. I really enjoy your vlogs and aspecially the shopping. ❤ Not having to buy 3 packs of something for a meal because auf the "small" sizes and no option of a bigger size.

Ah, BJ'S. There's about to be one in Ohio. I can't wait! Another incredible haul from you!😁

What a workout. Impressive you got it all in

Happy birthday! Hope your day is special like you!!🎂🍨🍫🍾🥂🎈🎊🎉🎁

Great job as ALWAYS…. How do you handle recycling We have a recycling bin which makes it really easy.

it is now October 9 here in Australia and as such I know that it is your birthday. I would like to wish you a wonderful day full of love, joy and lots of blessings

What a waste of money that "purified" water is. All you have to do is fill up from your faucet.

You may try to setup a water purifier machine at home, to help decrease bottled water buying and consumption 😊

I was cracking up at you just checking everything into the back lol so relatable! In oregon we get, but also pay .10 per can or bottle!

This is a workout girly! Never get tired of your hauls though. 🤍

I never miss a video so when I woke up feeling icky and then happened upon a new video it made me smile. Just gonna snuggle up and let Alicia do her magic. Sending lots of hugs and love to anyone reading this. 💚

Always love watching you and your family! You guys are a great example of what a loving family is ❤

U do so much hard job moving this staff shopping to car and in shop.... wow. God bless u

Go Alcia 🦸🏽‍♀️💪🏼💪🏼 Happy Birthday lovey! 💛🌼

As one of 8 I can tell you shopping and making all the food is an workout itself hats of to you ❤

We've got a deposit system here in Sweden too, but it's 10 cents for small bottles and 20 cents for larger ones (quart and over). We're serious about our recycling I guess... Almost 90% recyling rate.

I feel like a perma emoji when I watch your videos because my eyebrows are lifted in my mouth is open all the way through 😯

That was some workout lifting all those cases of drinks id say if you had a step quota you definitely hit it lol. Hope Alex had a great time at the dance made me laugh his hand in a cast and his gf had a broken finger 😂. Hope you have a great birthday on Monday and that Josh and kids spoil you rotten happy birthday Alicia 🥳🥳🥳🥳

When you were loading the van my back hurt for you (I have a bad back), and then I thought you need to buy a flat trailer for hauling a quad or something and to use that to grocery shop so you don't have to play tetris with all the seats! I can't even drive a trailer but I just associate you with superwoman so obviously in my head you can totally do the trailer!!! I think I what I dislike about shopping the most is carrying stuff in after though... If anyone ever asks you what your workout routine is just send them this video :D

Do a mini vlog with Jordan please

Here in Germany, in every empty water bottle we need to bring it to the store and outside of that store there’s a thing to put all of it (like a vacuum machine) lol. And each bottle is .25€ cents Pfand(deposit). That’s why the empty water bottles here are 💶😂 not only water but also sodas, beer cans, beer bottles etc. 😊

Wow! We share the same birthday! Happy Birthday!!!

Funny, how you started throwing stuff.😂🤣😂🤣

I love you guys so much Alicia!!! Thank you for being so positive. Keep it going with the positive energy! When I first found ou guys I was so amazed about what you do for those kids! You are so strong!!☺️
