🛒😱 “We Never Went to the Store!” — Lydia Plath EXPOSES Bizarre Plathville Grocery Habit That Stuns Fans & Outs the Duggars!

Lydia Plath is opening up about the unconventional way her large family received groceries when she was growing up.

“I think a lot of things that stand out to people with how I was raised is how healthy we were,” the Welcome to Plathville star, 21, shared during a visit to The Jinger & Jeremy Podcast with Jinger Duggar Vuolo, 31, and her husband Jeremy Vuolo, 37. “Like, we grew most of our vegetables. We grew as much as we could. It’s so fun telling these stories because I look back and I’m like, ‘This is insane.’”

“Instead of going grocery shopping, we would meet a semi truck every two weeks at the top of our driveway and get a pallet of groceries,” she continued. “Then once a month, we would meet a semi and get a pallet of all the dry goods, like the oats, the raisins. We would buy everything by, like, the five gallon bag or the 50 pound bag or, like, bulk beyond Costco.”

Jeremy asked her to explain how it worked, observing, “Was this like the original Walmart delivery?”

“My mom discovered it,” Lydia explained. “I don’t know. I’ve actually wanted to ask her, like, how did you even discover this? Because this is kind of insane. So yeah, we didn’t really go grocery shopping.”

Jeremy noted that the Duggar experience was simply “10 kids going to a grocery store.”

Jinger then wanted to know if it was “co-op style, where you just show up and get whatever’s on the truck.”

“My mom would place the order a week ahead of time and just get anything,” Lydia replied to the 19 Kids and Counting alum, adding that they’d get items “from all over the world.”

“We got a jackfruit a few times, just to experiment, these huge prickly things,” she noted. “We got lychees and longans, like, just star fruit. You could order fruit from all over the world.

Jinger called the story “incredible,” adding, “I want do that.”

TLC’s Welcome to Plathville premiered in 2019, introducing viewers to the Plath family’s dynamics.

Kim and Barry Plath welcomed 10 kids. Lydia’s siblings include Ethan, Hosanna, Micah, Moriah, Isaac, Amber, Cassia and Mercy. Her brother Joshua died in 2008 following a farm accident.

In June 2022, Kim and Barry announced their separation after 24 years of marriage. They later filed for divorce in June 2024.

The series has focused on the family’s lifestyle, including their Christian fundamentalist beliefs and their strong bonds with one another.

In the season 7 premiere of Welcome to Plathville last week, Lydia and husband Zac Wyse got candid about their decision to tie the knot six months after meeting.

“Lydia has a plan to go to Germany, and she wanted to go on this mission trip,” Zac said. “And so, one, I wanted to go, and I brought it up to her, and then she was like, ‘Yeah, you’re going.’ It was more an idea on my side, and she was like, ‘I’d absolutely love for you to go.’”

“Then we kind of got to the conversation of, ‘Okay, are we going to Germany married or engaged?’” he continued. “And as we asked that question, everything kind of came together to happen before we went to Germany.”

The couple got married in February at the Plath family farm in Georgia, where they shared their first-ever kiss.
