A Week of Groceries | Family of 13 Haul

Welcome to my weekly grocery haul for my family of 13! Another week, another grocery shop to feed this growing tribe. Included in today’s grocery haul are some ingredients for making sausage rolls for my son’s 2nd birthday. The original recipe can be found on my channel:

Prices, including Australian total, as well as United States equivalent are included below. Tips to save on your grocery shop:
– Purchase produce that is in season – it tends to be much cheaper than imported items (and fresher!)
– Include a ‘fend for yourself’ night (or two!). This helps to ensure that leftovers are used up, gives one a night off cooking a meal, and allows everyone to have something simple that they really enjoy.
– Use up leftovers. I often turn pasta dishes and Mexican night leftovers into pasta and rice bakes. Add a bit of extra cheese and you have a whole new meal!
– Purchase items that are on sale. In my part of the world, there are always half-price sales. I take this to mean that that’s the actual value of the item. If I don’t get something half-price, I tend to purchase the home brand equivalent, if available.
– Make a meal plan and shopping list
– Shop online. It’s easier to keep track of how much you’re spending
– Shop less often. If shopping fortnightly or monthly allows for free delivery and the ability to purchase in bulk, consider shopping less often than weekly.
Today I have purchased items for the following meal plan:
Homemade sausage rolls and salad
Marinated chicken drumsticks and vegetables
‘Fend for Yourself’
Lamb Curry
Chicken soup with garlic Turkish bread
Vegetarian pasta
Leftover vegetarian pasta made into bake

The total price for this grocery haul was:
Woolworths: $525.19AU ($346.05US)
Coles: $260.83AU ($171.86US)
Total: $786.02AU ($517.91US)

hi welcome to my [Music] channel I’m lyanna mom of 11 from Melbourne Australia and this is my weekly shopping haul for my family of 13 it feels like I’m uploading these constantly at the moment but I am about a week behind still um after having Co uh so I’m a little bit behind on the editing that’s why it may seem like I’m uploading shopping hall videos every second day but it’s actually I am only shopping weekly so this video was filmed on Charlie’s second birthday on the 30th of May and I still have another one to pop up before my next actual real time shop uh on Wednesday so I’ll attempt to get that up before then so that then I’m caught up as well as that tomorrow Anthony and I as promised are going to sit down and film the Australian food video where I show you the snacks that you’ve seen over the years in my shopping Halls I’m actually going to open the boxes show what’s in there how we eat them and we’re going to do some Aussie trivia at the same time which will be lots of fun and we’ll have some laughs as well it’s been a long time since Anthony’s been one of my videos he enjoys it I think he’s a bit worried because he’s uh just recovering from laryngitis so his voice isn’t quite what it normally is but I said you won’t mind it’ll be fun anyway so that’s something we’re filming tomorrow and I’ll have that up within a few days in the meantime enjoy this video I’ve
