Mom-of-11 reveals how she spends over $1,000 on groceries in a single trip and is forced to use FOUR shopping carts
Alicia Dougherty, 44, from Pittsford, New York, has four biological children and eight others she adopted with her husband, Josh, 44.
The mom-of-11 often gives people a glimpse inside her life on TikTok and Instagram, where she has about 9.1 million followers collectively.
In a recent video, she documented a shopping trip to Walmart, and left viewers stunned over the immense amount of stuff that she had bought for her family.
Alicia started the video by showing a clipboard with her immense list of items.
It then cut to her four full carts, the first of which held toiletries and medicines, a kiddy pool, a case of printer paper, cleaning supplies, and matching family shirts in two colors.
The second cart held most of the dry food items including dressings, jams, and crotons.
It also held other food items including tomato products, pasta, bread, cereal, coffee, mints, and muffin mix.
Alicia then spotted red and blue Gatorade and Jello cups so she joked that she 'had to get them for the kids for Memorial Day.'
She also stocked up on sodas, teas, and juices.
Cart three held the family's produce items including fruit, avocado, tomatoes, potatoes, Lunchables, and salad.
Alicia also got 'the meats for the week,' including, '20 lbs of chicken for grill night, ground beef for taco Tuesday, and pork chops for slow cooker night.'
The fourth cart included 10 dozen eggs, yogurt, orange juice, cheese, and nine different kinds of milk.
Her last stop was in the freezer section, where she placed frozen pizza, fries, Pizza Rolls, White Castle burgers, four gallons of ice cream, and a slew of different treats.
At the end of the video, she showed two long receipts for her purchases, which came out to more than $1,000.
In 2023, Alicia came under fire after she fed her kids out of a baby pool.
In a viral video, Alicia showed viewers how she prepared a 'nacho party' that saw her dozen kids munching out of a baby pool.
She began by pouring tortilla chips on the bottom of the pool before adding ground meat, cheese sauce, lettuce, olives, tomatoes, and sour cream.
At the end of her video, the busy mom showed the children digging into the pool and indulging in the Tex-Mex-inspired meal without any forks or napkins in sight.
While the pool platter proved to be a hassle-free feeding strategy because it had no dishes involved, many viewers couldn't believe how 'unsanitary' the mom's 'party' was.

Could this be the alternative to LASIK surgery?
LASIK eye surgery has been performed successfully in the U.S. since the late 90s, helping nearly 40 million patients to improve their vision through a procedure that cuts into the eye using lasers. Some 600,000 of the Food and Drug Administration-approved surgeries are carried out on American adults each year. Now, researchers say they have come up with an alternative method that wouldn't need invasive incisions and could be cheaper. It uses a process called electromechanical reshaping, which helps to reshape the cornea using electrical current. The cornea is a dome-shaped, clear structure at the front of the eye that helps us to process images. Irregularly shaped corneas are the cause of nearsighted and farsighted vision and astigmatism, and LASIK fixes that by burning away tissue to reshape it. 'The whole effect was discovered by accident,' Brian Wong, a professor and surgeon at the University of California, Irvine, explained in a statement. 'I was looking at living tissues as moldable materials and discovered this whole process of chemical modification.' While the work is in its early stages, it could offer an alternative to LASIK. Although the surgery has been safely performed for nearly 30 years with rare complications, it has some limitations and risks. The surgeons say that cutting the cornea compromises the structural integrity of the eye. This procedure has yet to be performed in humans, but researchers previously used electromechanical reshaping to alter scars and skin in pigs and reshape cartilage-rich rabbit ears. Working with rabbit eyeballs, they constructed platinum 'contact lenses' that served as a template for the corrected shape of the cornea, placing them over a rabbit eyeball in a saline solution meant to mimic natural tears. After about a minute following a small electric charge to the lens, the cornea's curvature conformed to the shape of the lens. That happened in the same amount of time as LASIK, with fewer steps, no incisions, and less expensive equipment. Then, they repeated the step on 12 other rabbit eyeballs. Of those dozen, 10 were treated as if they had nearsighted vision, and the researchers found success. In others, they saw that their technique might be able to reverse some chemical-caused cloudiness to the cornea, which is currently only treatable through a complete transplant of the cornea. In the future, the researchers are planning tests on living rabbits, and looking at far-sightedness and astigmatism. Uncertainties in the team's scientific funding have put those plans on hold, but Michael Hill, a professor of chemistry at Occidental College, will present their findings this week at the fall meeting of the American Chemical Society. 'There's a long road between what we've done and the clinic. But, if we get there, this technique is widely applicable, vastly cheaper and potentially even reversible,' said Hill.

Alec Baldwin hits Hilaria with a stick in what appears to be a desperate audition for Dancing With The Stars
Alec Baldwin participated in a bizarre video in a desperate bid to help Hilaria Baldwin who has sparked rumors she is joining the season 34 cast of Dancing With The Stars. The 67-year-old Rust actor could be seen wacking the 41-year-old yoga enthusiast with a stick as she danced in a collaborative Instagram post from Sunday. Hilaria showed off her flamenco dancing skills as her famous husband struck her in the derriere repeatedly with a colorful rod. Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Dancing With The Stars over Hilaria's potential casting and has yet to hear back. Alec mimed the words from the song Tippy Toes from 2022 animated film Sing 2 which was done by Adam Buxton as the character Klaus Kickenklober. Adding to the Dancing With The Stars speculation, the video was in response to a fan comment which read: '[two laughing while crying emojis You should BOTH be on DWTS!! [applause and fire emojis] Also, that jacket is getting a workout! [zany face, rosy cheeks, hands up emojis]' Hilaria captioned the short clip: '@alecbaldwininsta is the best dance teacher [crying and prayer hands emojis]' This comes after the reality star sparked speculation that she is joining season 34 of the reality competition series. The full list of celeb contestants has yet to be revealed, and the experienced yogi kicked off chatter she may be next in line after she posted a dancing video to her TikTok account last Tuesday. But it was a comment she singled out that has really prompted the speculation. 'Girl can dance!! Getting ready for DWTS?' one TikToker posted with two grey heart emojis in the comments section. Not only did Hilaria, 41, like and thank the fan for their message, but she even posted a second dancing video responding directly to that particular fan's DWTS suggestion. She uploaded a video of her busting a few more moves with the TikToker's message tacked into the corner of the clip. While this isn't the first time Hilaria has sparked DWTS speculation, the timing of this particular clip is noteworthy considering Dancing With The Stars will be premiering next month.

'Give it up!!' another commented. 'This is sad,' one weighed in. One TikToker said they have had enough of the famous family: 'Am I the only one that's really tired of the Baldwins? I literally couldn't get through their reality show. She's incorrigible.' Another appeared to take issue with her desire for the spotlight: 'LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! Must be exhausting for family members!' The video got one viewer rolling their eyes. 'Lawd,' they wrote along with an eyeroll emoji. 'Grifter is gonna grift,' another wrote, appearing to reference the controversy surrounding Hilaria's background. The prospect of Hilaria joining DWTS divided fans in the comments section The majority of the comments, however, were positive, with one even suggesting they begin a petition to convince DWTS to cast Hilaria. 'I would love to see you on DWTS,' one wrote. 'Definitely should do dancing with the stars,' another fan said. 'We need to start a petition that hilaria should be on DWTS!!' one posted. Thurs far, only four celebrities have been unveiled for season 34 of DWTS, set to debut in September. Robert Irwin, the son of the late Steve Irwin, social media influencer Alix Earle, and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt will be competing for the Mirrorball Trophy this upcoming season Robert Irwin, the son of the late Steve Irwin, social media influencer Alix Earle, and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt. And an insider recently exclusively revealed to Daily Mail that reality TV royalty could be taking to the coveted ballroom in a few weeks. Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag have both been asked to join, according to an insider. But the deal isn't set in stone just yet, as it will reportedly take a major paycheck for the couple to sign on. 'Spencer and Heidi have both been asked to join the next season of DWTS, and they could sign on the dotted line if the money is right. It is all about the money,' the source said. 'Negotiations are hot and heavy right now.' The couple, who have been married since 2008, have been in need of a financial boost after losing their $2.5million Pacific Palisades home in the devastating Los Angeles fires earlier this year.
