Hi, guys! I’m sharing another Large Family Grocery Haul video today. Besides groceries, it also includes several household items in addition to a few other random things that we needed.
We spent a little under $600 out of pocket for everything, and we were able to stock up on some of our staples as well as some practical items that we were running low on.
I hope you enjoy the video, and thanks for watching! π

Happy Birthday Isaac!
What meal will be made with the pork shoulder? Please post the recipe as it sounds delish!
Costco can refill printer cartridges. We get ours refilled for about $7 each.
I don’t blame you for buying water! Our water smells like sulphur and I haven’t gotten it tested. I have also considered a water filtration system for the home.I’d be interested to see what you purchase. Our water has eaten away our tub fixtures and corroded our pipes. The water company inspected our pipes and said that the corrosion is from all of the chemicals in our water but didn’t elaborate. Can you imagine what that does to our bodies? I am SO WITH YOU on the purchase of bottled water!!

Hi, Lisa! Thank you for the birthday wishes! π We made carnitas with the pork shoulder, and you can check out that recipe on my blog here: https://thesensiblemom.com/2014/07/easy-carnitas-recipe/
Next time, we’re definitely going to have our printer cartridges refilled at Costco. I love that they offer that service and I wish we’d known about it before we bought the most recent pack. Oh, well! Now we know for when these ones run out.
And yes, I really dislike all the chemicals that are used to treat the water and the addition of things that don’t even need to be in our water supply. It’s terrible. I will definitely share if we end up purchasing a water filtration system. I think we’re going to do it. π
I hope you have a great week!!

I’m sorry to hear you have such bad tap water at your house. We are very fortunate to have such great tasting drinking water that is fluoride free in our area. I know the tap water at our church is awful, it’s like drinking water from a swimming pool, the chlorine is so strong. I know if we had that kind of water we would be buying bottled water too.
We made a pork shoulder roast a week ago and it was so good. I made pulled pork with it and slow cooked it on our barbecue. I hope the birthday party was great!

Hi, Shelly! The birthday party was great. Isaac was very blessed by the gifts he received (even his siblings gave him sweet gifts this year) and the food.
Pulled pork sounds delicious. π

Hope Issac had a great birthday π
We have chlorinated water, which I don’t like to drink, so we use a filtered water dispenser in our refrigerator that takes out all those chemicals.

Thanks, Erin! Isaac had a very special birthday! π
