‘This would last years’ people gasp at mum-of-11’s weekly shop with FOUR loaded trolleys & you’ll be shocked at the cost
A WOMAN has left people totally stunned after showing off a typical shopping trip for her 11 children.
Alicia Dougherty, a mum-of-11 from the US, who previously left people stunned at her ‘chaos hour’ routine, explained that she had four trolleys loaded to the brim after visiting her local Walmart.
She stocked up on all things from eggs and cheese, to bagels and muffins – and of course, made sure to get a trolley full of fruit, vegetables and meat.
Posting online under the username Dougherty Dozen, Alicia, who is based in New York and has 6.7 million followers on TikTok, shared a clip showing off her weekly food shop, leaving many totally stunned.
Alicia, who wakes up at 4am to ensure that everything is in order for her children before they head off to school, then showed off her “Family Of 13 Walmart Haul.”
The busy mum explained: “In cart one I got us matching family outfits in light blue, some cleaning products, protein bars, applesauce pouches, cereal stock up, honey buns, muffin bites, can’t forget the coffee, bread, bagels, buns, Hawaiian rolls, and a few toiletries.”
Alicia then left this trolley at the front of the shop and moved on to trolley number two.
She added: “I got some boxed and jarred items, plus stuff to try feastable s’mores this week, then I got chips and dips for Taco Tuesday, some baking ingredients and I left that card up front.”
When it came to the third trolley, Alicia continued: “Cart three I headed over to the produce section for the veggies, bananas, fruits, watermelon, potatoes, and then over to the meat section for ground beef, pork chops, chicken, ham, hot dogs, and deli meat.”
And for the fourth and final trolley, the busy mum explained: “In cart four I got the bacon, 10 dozen eggs, butter, yoghurt, milks, caramel macchiato creamer, 19 pounds of cheese, six frozen pizzas, meatballs for meatball subs, and a bunch of really good looking desserts.”
Not only this, but she also said: “Grabbed some red, white, and blue pretzels and headed to check out.”
At the end of the video, Alicia showed off her two huge shopping receipts – one of which came to a total of $950.66 [£731.09] and another costing $329.70 [£253.55].
In total, Alicia’s weekly shop cost her a jaw-dropping $1280.36 [£984.64] – yes, you heard that correctly.
With the shopping costing almost £1,000 for just one weeks worth of stuff, it’s no surprise that the TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @doughertydozen, has clearly left many open-mouthed.
