Mother Of 10 Shares Just How Much Food It Takes To Feed Her Family For A Week—And It's A Lot

Feeding just oneself takes an endless supply of planning, money, and time—time to eat, money to buy the food and planning.

However, adding ten children into that equation—as TikToker @doughertydozen and her husband have—jacks up the level of planning, money, and time required for food in the household.

In a now-viral video, @doughertydozen panned across her grocery haul for her, her husband and their ten children.

The haul contained every single food group imaginable; from fresh watermelon and strawberries to bags upon bags of potato chips—from chicken to fresh peppers and ,bread to gallons of milk and almond milk.

And that's just buying the food.

Planning the meals is its own task.

In a follow-up video, @doughertydozen showed herself cooking an obscene amount of breakfast, packing lunch and the sheer volume of food she had to produce for dinner each night.

The family is a foster family—@doughertydozen and her husband have taken in children from the foster care system, which is how their household: grew so big.

Tastes no doubt vary in a house where everybody comes from a different background—so @doughertydozen also took us through how she shops for the house.

@doughertydozen's video is a reminder caring for children isn't for the faint of heart—especially ten growing foster children who go through over $1000 of groceries per week.
