HUGE GROCERY HAUL _ WINTER 2018

Grocery Haul: A Peek into My Pantry and Fridge

I'm sitting here in my house, surrounded by all sorts of goodies that I picked up on my latest grocery run. As I always do, I've decided to share this haul with you guys, in the hopes that it might inspire some new ideas or snacking options for you.

As you can see behind me, my pantry is looking pretty full at the moment. I've got all sorts of essentials like pasta, rice, and canned goods that are staples in my household. But what's really interesting is the variety of snacks that I picked up this time around. From Milano mints to black forest ham, these treats are sure to satisfy any craving. And let me tell you, I'm particularly excited about the ham croissant recipe that I've been wanting to try out - it's a perfect combination of salty and savory flavors.

Of course, no grocery haul would be complete without some protein-packed options. I picked up some chicken tenders that are going to make for a delicious lunch or snack. And because I'm making chili this week, I also got some Oscar Meyer brand deli meats to add to the mix. But what really caught my eye was the frozen fried chicken recipe that I've been wanting to try out - it looks like a game-changer!

Now, let's talk about vegetables. It's easy to get stuck in a rut when it comes to meal planning, but these pre-cut ingredients are going to make things so much easier. From green peppers and jalapenos to sweet onions and celery sticks, I've got all the essentials covered. And because I know that my daughter loves snacks that can be easily packed into her lunchbox, I also picked up some individually packaged fruits like bananas.

One thing that always gets me excited is cookies. I mean, who doesn't love a good cookie? This time around, I picked up a pack of Milano mints and some B pop-tarts to satisfy my sweet tooth. And because I know that snacks are an important part of any meal plan, I also got some trail mix with dried fruits and nuts.

Now, let's talk about drinks. As you can see behind me, I've got a whole array of beverages that are sure to quench your thirst on a hot day. From Gatorade to frappuccinos, these drinks are perfect for staying hydrated. And because my daughter loves sweet tea figure-eight, I also picked up some market side sweet tea at Walmart.

As we wind down this haul, it's worth noting the other essentials that I picked up like gallon storage Ziploc bags and gallons of milk. These might seem like small things, but they're really important for keeping our pantry organized and stocked.

Finally, let's talk about the fun stuff - new recipes to try out! As you can see behind me, I've got a few recipe tutorials lined up in my videos that I'm excited to share with you guys. From ham croissants to fried chicken and French toast, these recipes are sure to become new favorites.

That's it for today's grocery haul - I hope you enjoyed seeing what I picked up this time around!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi guys it is the New Year's a new day and I realized I haven't done a grocery haul for you guys in a really long time so I went to the grocery store today and I figured why not share with you what I got you know what's weird to me every time I go to the grocery store it's never like the same exact thing I mean there are there are like staples that I'll get but it's like never the same thing so I really needed to get to the grocery store today before my daughter goes back to school on Wednesday because I need to make sure that she has like all our snacks and stuff for lunches and as busy as I am I just have to like make sure I get things like this done ahead of time and have everything in stock so that I'm not constantly running to the grocery store so with that said I'll go ahead as you can see like everything was like back here so also I was organizing my pantry which is gonna be its own separate video I don't know which one is going up first or not but I was organizing my pantry and I suddenly realized how much of my stuff was expired unfortunately so a lot of this is like trying to restock my pantry in my pantry video you will see me put the dry foods away so go check out that video whenever it's up and if it's already up before this video I'll link it down below if not then click subscribe so that you get notified when I post my new video and then you'll be able to see my pantry makeover it looks so nice I'm using Dollar Tree stuff so I can't wait for you guys to see it but let's go ahead and get started cuz I have a lot I don't know if you guys organized like I do but anytime that I come home from the grocery store I separate the things that go in the fridge versus the pantry first and then I put everything up that way I can organize everything in a better fashion in the fridge and in the pantry alright random information but I got some Chobani yogurt in the strawberry banana these are our favorite flavors I don't get these enough so I got four of these for me I love these because I can grab it really quickly in the mornings if I'm like running late to go to work I can just grab it shake it up and drink it on my way their makeup wipes essential I got some eggs I got two packs of these they are organic I'm just trying to always buy organic things as much as I possibly can although personally if you're asking me I think everything should technically be organic but what do I know anyway organic eggs and I always have to get like two packs of eggs because I make a lot of things between scrambled eggs sunny-side up we make omelettes I use it obviously for like baking and dinners if I'm like you know fried chicken things like that and I also make ham and egg and cheese croissants which I've done a recipe up so I'll link it down below if you want to go check it out but I always have to keep by like 24 packs of eggs at all times these are just restock items but just some pure vegetable oil some Aunt Jemima I always get the original flavor they seem to be out so I got this like butter I never skimp on this I don't like the light stuff it's probably extremely bad for you but I don't mind I got two packages of hamburger meat for dinners I do plan out my dinners let me know if you want to see how I do that I've asked you guys a couple of times and I know I think I bought I promised a video in the past so I'll put one together and I'll do it on my other channel of how like I organize my dinners I actually print out a menu and it's really helpful because I buy to that week and that way I'm not like wasting food because I used to do that a lot I have been in the mood for some lemonade so I picked up some of this simply eliminated I've never picked up these right sides before I always get like the creamy chicken but it says taco rice and it just looks so good in the picture and I want to like do more tacos and like chicken quesadillas thumbs up this video you want to see my chicken quesadilla recipe my daughter loves it it's super simple there's nothing frilly to it at all but it's really really good and in that video if you wanted to see you could see how easy it actually is and it's delicious you guys on that note but not on that note actually has nothing to do with quesadillas cut green beans I realized cleaning through my canned goods I didn't have any whole kernel corn I got some chili beans in the medium sauce chili beans and mild sauce and the diced tomatoes a home favorite of mine which is these honey butter grande rolls the honey butter crescent rolls and I love these to do like the little pigs in a blanket we get the little like mini sausages roll it up and it's so good here is the chicken rice now I couldn't find creamy chicken cuz that's the one I usually get but so I just picked up the chicken I am out of spaghetti I always get thin spaghetti and I'm out of sugar so I got the pure Imperial sugar I know how to mix these up in a while and don't go to the grocery store hungry y'all know Fritos original we're just so good the saltiness in it I am making chili but I lean up I never eat like put this in my chili I never put like a crunchy texture to my chili at all but this is good for chili I think these are just a snack my daughter loves it's just the Lunchables with the pepperoni I don't know how she loves it to me it looks disgusting this is the cheese we use in our sandwiches the white cheddar now I have been getting a little coffee here and there and so I have to make sure that I have some cough drops especially when I go into the office I can't be in meetings all day long and cough cough cough it's really annoying so I'm constantly popping pop drops in my mouth although that's not a good thing but I can't help it I can't be coughing the whole time you know in a room full of people so it's unfortunate but this is actually super delicious has no hint of medicine in it so it's kind of bizarre to me but let's see what the ingredient is so this has menthol 3.5 and it's the honey lemon this ingredient is pectin pectin 2.8 milligrams telling you the apple flavor is so good these are the chips I always get from my daughter for her lunches are so quick easy throw them in her lunch bag I'm good to go and I think this one's my favorite because it has the majority of these we love like I don't love the chili Fritos but everything else is really delicious in here these I have never purchased before but I've had them before that makes any sense but these are 20 individual bags of the sweet and salty mix and this is just perfect for me again for work it's a very rare that like I get to leave and go to lunch so I'd like to have snacks on hand in my bag so these are just perfect for me to throw in and the M&Ms for some reason in this these are M&Ms but they taste so much better in this mixture than in a regular bag of M&Ms because they're like coated in a saltiness you guys so delicious I got some mashed potatoes also for her lunches are these rainbow chocolate chip cookies look at what I found I have never seen these before and I think they're perfect because I am used to buying like the little like smaller version with like the little foil top but I feel like it's not enough especially for like a teenager you know you have an adult you have a teenager and then you have like toddler kind of thing and I feel like this size right here is just perfect for a teen or adult like to snack on so look how amazing this is I'm all about this barbecue it's so good just you know dishwasher liquid I got Cool Ranch these are my daughter's favorite chips sometimes she like goes in and out of like what she likes she did like the sweet chili Doritos there in the purple bag they're brand new but now she wants to be back to full rich and then these I recently discovered and they are addicting I've never been the sweet salty person and all of a sudden I am like this and now this and I'm telling you this is my favorite they made like the Hershey's they make like a s'mores wine but the Reese's bag is so delicious and you get pretzels you get the big chunks of Reese's these these are my favorite whatever these are they're my favorite so good and the popcorn is covered in chocolate and caramel are y'all hungry also for her lunches now not everything goes into her lunch on a daily basis I just want to make sure that she gets just a different variety but I got her D mots fruit snacks I got these honey but like peanut butter crackers and then these are her favorite to go snack which is just the s'mores granola bar this next thing I'm honestly amazed how big of a hit this is in my house now all her friends always come over here and even the boys will like pick one of these up one of them actually asked me where'd you get these I was like the crush star I picked up some black forest ham I use these for the ham egg and cheese croissant I talked about some honey smoked turkey and this deli fresh Oscar Meyer brand and because I'm making chili I got some cheddar cheese on top once it's done I picked up some chicken tenders all this is on my menu for the week so I will be frying it I did do a chicken fried recipe as well as I'll link that below for you guys too now for the vegetables I got a green pepper two jalapenos a sweet onion a red bell pepper and a yellow bell pepper that's some bananas and some celery sticks already pre-cut these are easy to put in her lunches as well and they are pre like individually packaged and you get ten packs in here and they're really good cookies I got our favorite cookies which are the Milano mints and I got this for my first parfaits which is a recipe tutorial that I'm about to do for you guys and this is just the grin that I'm gonna add it's a strawberry granola and the packaging is cute too I'm not gonna lie I mean not that packaging should matter but let's face it we gravitate towards certain packaging and this is an organic blend and I just picked up some gallon storage Ziploc bags they're always good to have on hand and I hate like kneading things like that and then going to my drawer and finding out that I don't have it I was out of foil paper because I've been making a lot of cookies and these are two new drinks I've never tried them before which is why I only bought one of each luckily they sell them individually but this is a lemon sparkling lemonade and the flavors original because I had these in a bunch of different flavors like this one and this one is lemon lime flavor so I have no idea what these are what they taste like but hopefully they're good these are just a really great snack quick snack to put in the fridge diced peaches apples for the celery dip I got this ranch dip and for my first parfaits I got the Phi a 2% plain yogurt this is another bag of B Milano mint cookies I like the Milano's too but I don't like mint and chocolate together if I do ever get these cookies it's the raspberry and chocolate one I love those but I try to stay away from buying myself cookies because I can't handle that kind of temptation so if you're wondering her favorite her favorite her favorite where are my favorites I can't because I I worked too hard to jog and lose all that weight and trust me I've put on some weight this holiday season for her B pop-tarts and because the drinks are way too heavy to lift up I was just going to pick up the camera and show you guys the Gatorades are staples I love the purple and my daughter loves the yellow and got some frappuccinos the mocha is her favorite I wanted to try to caramel although I'm not big on iced coffee I only hot coffee but I love caramel so hopefully it's really good I'm gonna give it a whirl and then the ginger ale is my favorite we always drink like clear colored sodas I really don't like darker ones like root beer and coke things like that so we just try to stick to the light color drinks and then I found this market side sweet tea at Walmart so my daughter likes sweet tea figure-eight we try it then there's our 2% milk and our simply orange eliminate our orange juice and this is what the aftermath kind of looks like the drinks are behind me but this is pretty much my entire haul alright guys I hope that you enjoyed this grocery haul I always find it kind of like I don't know I feel kind of shy even
