be playing around with your girl but anyway when the kids do get it they only get like maybe aund And1 to $200 a month so I always go grocery shopping on my pay week so therefore I can you know if I go over cuz I always go over the $200 or $100 I always go over so because I always go over I tend to go on my pay week so I can make sure if I go over it's all to the good okay you feel me my kids still going to eat regardless okay so anyway let's get into this grocery haul okay okay listen I did not do this in no particular order I'm not even going to lie to y'all I tried but as y'all can see it is so much stuff so we going to start over here and okay let's get this thing rolling so basically um I get the SE Gams I love the SE Gams Ginger Els I purchased these I purchased actually a six-pack I'm the main one that like ginger ale so I normally get ginger ale mainly for me um the kids they like Crush I try not to let them drink sodas but they like the orange crust so I get them these there only a six-pack as well as you guys can see um over here I got the kids some strawberry kiwi strawberry flavor dyam smoothie it come with 12 and a pack and guys by the way all of this was a pickup from Walmart okay and I'm going to talk to y'all about that a little bit later about my pickup experience okay okay so let's continue so over here I just got some Italian style meatballs I I love these meatballs y'all the Great Value brand and I don't want to hear anything about Great Value brand I've been buying it forever I've been buying it for the longest and listen okay it works for us so anyway these you can make some meatballs um barbecue meatballs you can make a meatball sub so much stuff you can do with a meatball with some meatballs so I just get a pack of Meatballs especially for like quick dinners um me and my kids love the crinkle cut fries so I just get this again Great Value brand right here I got some Toros pizza roll yes listen I do check labels I do make sure that a lot of the items don't contain a lot of sodium and if it has a good amount of sodium I make sure the kids drink water with it so listen Okay okay so you going to see some processed food so before y'all get into all that okay I know what I'm doing okay anyway so yes I did get a a pack of um the 50 toetos pizza rolls okay so here I got the any TI of hot wings um some of my kids really like hot wings y'all I really try to refrain from them eating too much spicy stuff but yes I did get the hot wings um they also got some popcorn chicken a bag of popcorn chicken um just a Purdue brand I really didn't want this brand but this was um what they gave me because I guess they ran out of the brand I like I didn't even realize I purchased these but these are the oh no actually yes I do yes

y'all this all right these I really like the chicken patties so um and so does the kids this is like good for like to add to salad to warm up to add to your salad or um to even just make a sandwich with it so these come in handy so as you guys can see here I got two pack of the wingetts y'all I mainly do Wing egg um I do cook other types of chicken but I love wing egg so it's two packs in there of the same thing um I did choose the the green label if you go to Walmart or shop at Walmart you know what I'm talking about but they didn't have it so they gave me this one the extra lean ground

sugar honey glaze ham now back here listen we love some loaded potato skins so I bought those and then down here listen even though this upside down but it's okay even though um it does say zero sugar

another Walmart when I switched my order to another Walmart it took off a lot of the items that I had and so when I switched it back to the original Walmart that I wanted to pick it up from I had to read my items back so maybe when I switched I think this got added and I didn't realize but it's okay again hey you can never have too many Gatorade so this is just a little 12 pack of mini Gatorades

did get me some of these y'all cuz I love these brand a frees almost like the Eminem brand now I did buy this this bubble F and I'm going tell y'all the only reason I bought this is because Walmart stopped selling this brand the pear berry pomegranate this is my favorite kind of bubble fruit there we go this is my favorite kind of bubble fruit which is this one so I bought this mainly just for this but the kids eat these too but I love this kind I got some chips for my daughter she love this kind right here we both do some other chips and then I bought these because like I said just a quick lunch um three of my kids like these I did buy some of these some clear ones y'all this is something else that they didn't have cuz I ordered a smaller box but it's okay this will definitely come in handy and we like the clear forks knives and spoons and they come with 64 each this is another fruit cup that I ordered the Mandarian oranges and I did have another pack over there I got some grits cuz listen you can't go wrong with you some grits this is another barbecue sauce this barbecue sauce is really for like if the kids make their nuggets or their chicken scrips they can get some of this barbecue sauce cuz you know they don't sell barbecue sauce in a pack anyhoo got me some eggs y'all you know that 12 pack of eggs and then I got the kids a mini Sprite it's time for us to put this stuff up okay cuz as y'all can see this is a lot y'all so like I said my experience shopping with Walmart pick up I loved it it was easier it was quick for me because listen all I had to do was go online place my order pick it up at a convenient time for me they come loaded you take it home you take it in your house by yourself okay but it was easier cuz you don't have to stand in those long lines so all you had to do like I said was just place that order and go pick that thing up so I really love my experience as far as you know Walmart pickup is is you know is concerned or Walmart pickup goes what would I change I wouldn't keep switching like the pickup Walmarts I would choose one Walmart and stick to that Walmart if that's what I'm going to pick up from because like I said what happened was like I said I had my order I had 150 items in my cart and then what I did I switched to a different Walmart switched to a different Walmart listening to somebody I switched to a completely totally different Walmart and when I switched it took off like a lot of my items because I guess that Walmart was already out of stock so what I didn't know at the time was that it added it added it to my save for later I didn't know that so when I switched it back to the original first Walmart that I wanted to pick it up from I had to go back through and see what I didn't add or what was taken out and guys that's how I ended up with two boxes of these and two Gatorades and that's how I ended up with those rits because on the original Walmart I chose the the individual pack of rits but I guess when I switched it then switch back they put those instead so it's okay guys like I said it's okay all together I'm going to post a picture here of what the total price was like I said thank God for food stamps because even though food stamps didn't take a big portion of the amount of this food off it still helped and it came in handy because guys like I said this food ain't going to last all month all of it let me rephrase that all of it ain't going to last all month so when it as it starts getting low and starts running out you know I'm going have to go back and add some more stuff guys I try to shop at least every two weeks but because I wanted to do a haul for y'all I waited like out the whole month which I shouldn't have did but it's all good y'all I'm going go back to my shopping every week or two okay to make sure we don't run out of nothing okay but anyway y'all if you like this video and you want to see more what your girl load is hit that like hit that subscribe chop chop chop chop chop chop that not Bell y'all and you always and I mean always we update when I upload a video peace out always peace love and positivity wins always peace
