The original snack haul: Where Do You Buy Cheap Snacks in Bulk Without a Membership? | Black Mom Toddler Restock https://youtu.be/7r2iyoedRtc
Today I’m giving you an update from our previous video showing the bulk snacks we picked up for our family of 7 this month.
Smart and Final Grocery Store has been a necessity to our shopping and an asset to our budget. With a no membership needed atmosphere, we have been saving soooooo much more money on snacks we normally buy. We haven’t had to compromise at all and we are pleased with how much is left.
I also show real time taste tests with the children and give insight to how they all like each and. Serious eating habits I’ve noticed.

Yeah, they're tripping. I'm risking my entire life by making this video and not giving them what they're staring me down for, okay?
So do understand the glazing stares from behind this camera, okay? Do you understand that?
Okay, so I have this on my head because I'm washing my wings,
but how we do with five children under the age of six, with four of them actually eating
see a child, feed a child type of mentality,
but at the same time in moderation because, of course, these are not- when I was younger
I wish I had all this stuff, okay? Let's just be honest, but yes, okay?
So I will link a video down below showing you guys the snacks that I had got earlier this month for the children, right?
So I wanted to give you like just a little update to let you know how much has been eaten, stuff like that.
It's kind of been one of those things where it's like see a child, feed a child type of thing,
but at the same time like let's, of course, moderate it because I did go a little extreme.
I am at my desk area right now, and I'm just trying to put all of these snacks in a smaller situation.
This is mama snacks. Don't worry about that. Mama snacks because she was on her period this week.
I have Almond Joys. Daddy got me a bag of the miniature Almond Joys and Flamin' Hot Ketos, okay?
I cannot eat these, like I used to be able to take a whole bag like this down.
I went to the grocery store the other day, and I thought about getting them in my- I thought about getting them myself, okay?
And then I told myself no because they- all they have was like this black bag, extremely hot, and that's enough.
But yeah, okay. Daddy been ripped. Anyway, so my last Walmart trip
That was just when it was hot, but my gosh. Anyway, so my last Walmart re-up trip.
I got the cheese balls because I told you cheese balls are a necessity in the house when you have toddlers.
You cannot go to the store and not get cheese balls. It's just something that you have to do.
So this has been done up. I went to Walmart maybe like a week ago, so this is done.
Let me just finish this up. Also, I showed you in the smart and final video that we had got the Nesquik's.
We have two of these. This one is almost finished.
It has a mixture of neato inside of it, but I am going to start keeping these type of containers.
So my purpose for showing you these is because these are like- this is what you're paying for, you know what I mean?
I literally realized that
the cost of these products honestly,
like the containers, are low-key what you're paying for. If I wanted to go to the store, even like Dollar Tree or somebody like that,
these things can cost upwards of like five dollars, ten dollars.
But you're already buying the product for ten dollars, for five dollars. Keep these, okay?
So I'm gonna start like for real high-key keeping these things because these are repeat purchase stuff.
And if I can just start utilizing these- these containers and such, then I think that will help me a lot to just stay organized
for like free basically. So yeah.
Alright, so yeah, you hear my house is chaotic. The kids are eating a little bit,
but let me go ahead and consolidate these snacks. I know you might hear some crunching and munching in the back, but yes, okay?
I ended up utilizing just different boxes that we had
to put these things in because we are in a small space and our kitchen doesn't have a lot of like
pantry space and stuff like that. Yeah, I know I have this big dresser over here,
but if all of these- or shelf, but if all of these things were out where they could see it- no baby, no.
If all of these things were out where they could see it, then it would be like- it would go crazy in here, okay?
So yeah, due to the long- the short- due to the small space that we have, this is the idea that I came up with.
So it's now time to consolidate all of this stuff. So let's go through it.
Yeah, let's just go through these and I'll just show you kind of like I said, like what's left and stuff.
I tried to get an angle of me putting this like downward, but it's just not working out for me.
So I'm trying to show you this way. So in this box, this big old Cheez-Its box that had the 42 packs in it,
I put the Ritz crackers and I put the Oreos and stuff like that. Girl, I have been messing up these Oreos, okay?
I will- I will take responsibility, okay? Single-handedly, I have been messing up the Oreos, but
out of the pack of these- ma'am? Out of the pack of the Ritz crackers, I have
two,
four, six,
eight, ten, eleven. So that's actually a lot, but I've been trying to give them crackers and
we have four children. We have five children, but four of them eat.
And out of the four, two of them have been crumbling up the crackers. So
I just said forget that. So there's so many crackers because I don't know,
maybe they're too used to crackers or something, because they usually really like these. That's why I got these, but no, not this time around.
Let me see. Let's see in real time.
We need some crackers, y'all. So for the Oreos, I have
two left, okay?
Look, dangerous. For some reason, these are so good, okay? They're just so good.
I don't know if it's because I haven't had Oreos in so long, but these are fire.
But yeah, two of those. Out of this box,
it's a 45 pack of the Cheez-Its. But out of this 45 pack of Cheez-Its, this is how many I have left. Two for six,
eight, ten, twelve, fourteen, sixteen. I have sixteen left of those out of 45.
And
this is like, I don't even know what today is. Not like that, but like I'm not too sure what today is.
But we're kind of low-key like in the middle of the month.
So I think I have, honestly,
a sufficient amount of like snacks for them to have for the entire month and low-key bleed over until the next month.
And so that was like the main thing that my husband and I were trying to like figure out this month,
was how can we maximize our budget for their snacks?
And so I'm so glad that we like really started going heavy with the Smart & Final because that's where it's at.
You realize that you're spending the same amount of money on this stuff,
but you're getting less of it or you're spending more money because it's less in the package because you're going to like the regular
supermarket. So Smart & Final is really where it's at for us. I have not tried out Sam's Club.
I'm not too sure about that. For me personally, the reason why I haven't gone to Sam's Club is because they open too late for me.
First of all, I like to be inside of the house by 10, like 10 11 a.m.
Yes, I'm already an early bird, but I just don't like to be out like that.
Like when everybody starts to get all hectic plus it's hot out here in Vegas. So that's a no.
So I like to be in the house early. The only places that are open grocery store-wise are WinCo's 24 hours,
Smart & Final opens at 6, and Walmart opens at 6.
And Smith's opens at 6. So that's why I've been going to those places all the time. But yeah.
So the, this is, this brand was a Hispanic brand, the
Marianelli, and I had got the coconut and these ones were, it's like, these are like some coconut cookies and this is like, um,
you'll see, like a Fig Newton, basically. They liked the Fig Newton ones, kind of, sort of.
It's like they liked it at first and then they kind of were like, um, I'm not really feeling it anymore.
The coconut cookies, they said no. Absolutely. So let's see. In real time, by the end of this video,
I'll let you know who has eaten what and all that type of stuff.
Can you please give this to Jonabelle? Can you give this to Janice? Thank you. That's for you. Can you give it to Jonabelle?
That's okay. Thank you.
Here you go. That's for Janice.
And you can have this one.
There we go. All right. Okay. Well, all right. Well, in real time, Janice is there.
So there's that. Okay. So today we're feeling the Marianas Fig Newtons. Okay, but
I can tell you to show the coconut cookies right now. I'll tell you what it looks like. I'll taste test it myself.
This is what they look like.
They actually smell really good. First of all, man, see, okay.
And then with the little baby, almost two-year-old,
she's now, because I gave her something else that she'd rather have, she's out here throwing the crackers now. That's my bad. Okay.
Well, this is the coconut cookie, though. It smells so good. I'm not too sure what their issue is, but uh-uh.
I will gladly take-
These taste like good. These taste like coconut macaroon cookies. Don't do that. Okay. I'm gonna tell daddy on you.
Anyway, these taste like
99 cents for coconut macaroon cookies. These are fire. This box that I have here. This is
the Ritz crackers came in an 18 stack.
So knowing that we have like, what, 14, 16 left, they really have not been eating them like that as I'm seeing right now.
It's probably my fault. I keep giving them something else that they'd rather have than that.
So as far as the coconut cookies, they came in a pack of six or eight. So one, two, three,
four. That's- I have four left. So there's that.
One more of the Marianas.
Um, the Big Newtons. And also in this box, I have the
graham crackers. This one came in a pack of four. I have one more left.
I got like the 48 pack of these Welch's right here, and there's a ton of them left.
And if you're a parent, you understand there's no way in this world. Okay, there's no way in this world.
I'm risking my entire life by making this video and not giving them what they're staring me down for.
Okay, so do understand the glazing stares from behind this camera. Okay, you understand that.
So I also have inside of here these peanut butter crackers. Can you give this to Dennis? Thank you. For you.
Thank you so much for that. I also have in this here this Austin peanut butter on cheese sandwich crackers.
I'm, not sure how many came in this. They have definitely been eating these. I forgot to mention too with the Oreos.
Why did I start taking them Oreos down? Because they were not appreciating the quality of the cookie of the Oreo.
They of course wanted to just lick the inside of the Oreo and I'm not playing that. Okay.
Also behind me on this table is a whole bunch of stuff from Amazon sellers. I'll do an unboxing video, that type of stuff.
That'll be coming up this week.
Probably tomorrow. But yeah, so I have two,
four, six, seven of these and this is I think it came in a pack of like 24.
So they actually have been eating a lot of those. I also have these first street chewy granola bars, a semi-sweet
chocolate chip. These came in like a pack of like, I don't know 48 or something like that.
Focus. Like a pack of 48.
There's quite a few in here.
These are one of these things that I'm grabbing quick in the morning for them to eat.
When I'm just trying to get ready for the day or trying to get up, it's just like, hey,
I know you're staring me down right now. So here you go. Give me a minute. One of those types of things.
So that's what's in this entire box. As you see, I'm gonna go ahead and put
everything in this box just straight up in here or I might actually put everything in this one box.
You'll see. This is the last box. So last but not least,
we have this huge box and all of this stuff is in the super value size of the parents first diaper box.
And in here is just more of like the big stuff, the things that are in bigger packages that I couldn't fit.
Also stuff that were in big packages, but were not big items. So I put them in baggies instead. Okay.
So I have in here
cereal, of course. This is the apple zing.
They like their cereal. The oldest one, Delilah, she has been liking the cereal more than everybody else.
Everybody's kind of just been giving her the cereal. So there's that. I have the mini cookies still.
These are still in here. A hefty amount is in there.
I haven't really been giving that to them because I haven't really been in this box like that if I'm being honest.
A bag of pretzels, like I said.
So I'm just basically getting baggies and putting things in bags that are normally like in packages that are too big.
We had pretzels already from a while ago. So not a while ago. We already had pretzels.
So I'm not sure if I put them in here and just kept them at eye level. But I do also have these pretzels.
I bought these pretzels
with all of these things and I forgot that I had regular pretzels. So that's why I did that.
Okay, just trying to put it in my face so that they eat everything. But the yogurt pretzels are fire.
You know, they're fire because it ends up all over their face.
That in here. Almost finished.
Some other things that I put in baggies.
These veggie straws. They're really liking these veggie straws. And these are from the first street. Also some plantain chips.
They came in a small bag that I didn't feel
was necessary to chomp them all down at once. And they like these. They eat them in small quantities. The bag itself is small.
But yeah, so I just dumped them all in here just because. Kind of probably wasted the bag or whatever.
Also these toffee peanuts that I forgot I had. Because like I said, I barely go in this big old box.
But yeah, these are in here. I'm gonna go ahead and set those out for myself.
Miscellaneous things like a pack of Nilla wafers. Some crackers. The baby has his mum mums in here. Little teething crackers.
Some Gerber. And then I just have this box of the Nilla wafers. And inside of this box
is a whole nother pack of the vanilla wafers.
Just go ahead and put that in there now. And all of these.
I still have these. I think I got four. They were four for five dollars.
So I have three more left. And these are the Goya
dulce de leche wafers. So yeah.
I'm gonna go ahead and consolidate everything that you just see. That you just saw.
Inside of this one big box so that there is just one box with all the snacks in it.
But yeah, I wanted to make this video for the purpose of showing you realistically. If you have any questions
about anything, if you enjoy this type of content where you're just seeing kind of realistically
what people do as far as just having children, you know, like
I don't know. Just thought it was helpful. So I was like, okay. But yeah, so
make sure you comment and all that great stuff. Let me know some, okay?
Share this video with some other people that might be interested in seeing just how far bulk items really go.
Especially with a large family. It can go as far as you want it to, to be honest with you.
But yeah, love you all so much. God bless.
