GROCERY shopping can get expensive.
Even when you’re only shopping for two people, the price of produce, meats, and yummy snacks adds up quickly.
That grocery bill gets even higher when you’re providing food for a whole family.
One woman, a mother of eight who goes by @TheEpikLife on TikTok, has gained popularity online thanks to her videos that show how she handles having such a big family.
She recently posted a clip that gave viewers a look at her usual Costco grocery run, and people were shocked by how much she spends to feed her brood.
“Time for a Costco haul. Let’s go,” she began.
Butter, naan dippers, and individual hummus cups were among the first items to go into her cart.
A block of cheddar cheese, frozen ravioli, and egg bites were followed by boxes of mac and cheese, turkey deli meat, and a rotisserie chicken.
As the video went on, the pile of food grew larger.
Feeding eight children, plus feeding herself and her husband, means she needs a variety of snacks, raw ingredients, and readily made meals on hand.
She added a bag of bagels, a large container of croissants, and fresh bakery bread to the cart.
Fruits and veggies were also thrown in, most of which were organic, as well as drinks like almond milk and seltzer.
When one commenter asked her if she always buys organic, she said she usually does because the higher price tag is worth the benefits.
At the end of the clip, the mother revealed the total amount spent: a whopping $800.
Responding to a comment asking how long the haul lasts her family, she said about two weeks.
That means she spends roughly $1600 a month on groceries!
