The amlactin cream is also good for Keratosis Pilaris or “chicken skin” condition. Patients who have little red bumps on the back of their arms or legs. I use it all of the time to treat my KP. It’s wonderful stuff and a great price. And I’m a pharmacist. So you gotta trust me! And Vivian of course hahhaha
We have the executive membership at Costco and it gives a percentage of your purchases back every year! We buy for a whole group of people, then run around delivering everything with a quick visit once a month! We spend so much every year that we get the price of the membership, plus a hundred or so dollars back at the end of the year! And we visit every family member and treated to coffee and a snack as a thank you from each! lol
I bought the Executive membership specifically for the cash back, especially on gas. I use my own car for work and buy about 10-12 gallons of gas every day. I'm already over $350 in cash back for the year and the gas part now has dropped from 4% to 1% because I've passed the $7000 annual limit for 4%. Expensive year for gas, but I'll have enough cash back to pay for most of a set of tires when I need them, plus the regular gas prices are anywhere from $.05 cheaper to at times $.35 cheaper. LOL
'It's 2022, we ain't going to Costco to buy 25 pounds of ketchup any more.' 🤣😂 That's so true Vivian! You talked me into getting a Costco membership and buying the lotion. Can't wait to try the lotion. You're so funny, Vivian, but always spot on. Love the reviews! 🍷🍾
I recently went to Costco & bought Kirkland version of Tylenol, Advil, & Benedryl. I got like 2 years worth of medication! Girl, the Kirkland version of Zyrtec is a BARGAIN!
Getting a Costco membership is the best for the gasoline alone, specially when it goes up. I have heard the Kirkland brand products is the same as the brand products. That is the reason the Kirkland brands are soooo good. Have a nice day.
@@Penguinchubb0 I have purchased things that were in the Black Friday sales a few days before the sale started, in case they sold out. Then, I just had them refund the difference during the sale.
Love you, V. I recently rescued 2 senior dogs. One has epilepsy and a heart murmur, needs meds 2x per day for her heart, but I can't "pill" her because of her trachea, so I bought some pill pockets at the pet store....60 pill pockets for $20 !!! That's only a month's worth on top of medicine costs. Yikes. Enter Costco today. TWO bags of knock off brand but great quality, 60 pill pockets in each bag, both for 11.99.
Every time I go to the States, I'm like a chicken with its head cut off, Dollar Store, Costco, Five Below...."Vivian says I have to try!!!" Running from store to store. Your fault Vivian😆😆😆😆
Yes!!! Vivian is correct. I had terrible dry/itchy winter skin, called my dermatologist, they said go buy Amlactin, I did, works incredibly well, I won't buy anything else.
Hi Vivian! I’m a Board Certified Wound Nurse. We prescribe AmLactin 12% (Ammonium Lactate) all the time. Don’t use it between the toes. Keep between toes clean and dry. We usually only use if for a limited period of time; twice a day for 2 weeks. Good stuff!
Amazon has the same deal on the AmLactin lotion (for those of us that don't have a Costco membership because it's over 100 miles away from home). Love you girl!!
@@theoriginallacey Yep. You're right! For me, It still beats driving 100 miles each way and begging somebody in the parking lot who is a member to grab me a bottle. lol
AmLactin is fabulous! I have super dry skin and if I use this every day, my skin actually looks normal! I'm not a dermatologist, but my dermatologist is the one who recommended I use all over. I think it has even lightened the stretch marks my 10.5 pound babies gave me!
Always a fun day when Vivian Tries is putting up some awesome deals for us all. Love you Vivian you always make my day. You make me smile...always and laugh. Thanks for all you bring to us!!! 🤗🤗❤❤
Who doesn't like a good thick? Now there is peach wine all over my laptop. Oh Vivian you were on top today. Laughing my head off. Love all the deals. Keep up the good work. 5 Vivian heads.
Just know with Almlactin lotion it it not good to be out in the sun after use or if you use it regularly because of the acid in it.. My son has a genetic skin condition that he doesn't retain moisture in his skin so it doesn't shed the dead skin off. This is definitely a deal for $16.99!
In case anyone else hates artificial sweeteners, the sparkling water is sweetened with sucralose. I can't stand the taste, but if you like diet drinks in general, enjoy! Love your videos, Vivian!
Amlactin is the one of the best body lotions available. It's super effective and worth the cost. One tiny problem, though, it smells... not great. It has a sour smell, it's the lactic acid. Fragrance is usually extremely important to me, so this is a testament to how great Amlactin is. I willingly put up with the sourish, ammonia-y because it's THAT GOOD. And the smell goes away fast so it's not like you're going to walk around smelly. Once it dries there is no fragrance or smell whatsoever.
Saw this video. Went to Costco. On sale $12.99. Put in cart. Got home, tried it and said " This smells awful" Will use it anyway because my skin needs it. And might buy more while it's on sale!
@@nancyspruiell347 I've thought of that, too! I'm not sure. The lactic acid in Amlactin can make your skin sun sensitive so adding essential oil could be irritating. I guess it would depend on how many drops you need to add. Give Amlactin a try as is and see if you are okay with it. I promise the smell disappears in minutes!
Finally I’m here with you I been watching you for a while. I am gonna try to make videos but when I need a break from whatever, I watch you and you do give me great advice on products. Which, I appreciate. You crack me up, when you crack yourself up.
Me too Vivian. Black Raspberry totally my favourite. I just tried this a month ago and absolutely love them. I don’t mind the cherry lime but the other ones I don’t like. Loved all your products you have. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.💯💯💯🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Oh my gosh, thank you so much. I’ve been trying to watch different TH-cam reviewers because they quit selling my favorite sparkling drink at the grocery store and I was planning to go to Costco tomorrow. I watched a bunch of worthless crappy reviewers before I got to you. What a waste of time. Oh, and I got to see you it’s all worth it. Thank you so much. Appreciate you.
I damn near pee’d my pants!!!! “77 Vivian heads”. “NOT A DRINKER!” And all those fricken flossers. OMG!!! I love you!❤️❤️❤️ “Not sponsored” “I love Diet Dr Pepper. It’s my water” 🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
Love your channel. People also need to know that Costco is the only place you should go for your prescription meds. CVS price gouges for the same meds. I recently got a text from CVS saying one of my cholesterol meds was ready and when I checked to see the cost....more than $200 for a 90 day supply!!! Went to Costco and they charged me $15.99 for the same med for a 90 day supply. I am a Costco convert.
The lotion is an awesome product. My doctors recommended to me. You can use everyday (RN here) for very dry skin. Recommended highly for diabetics and people with dry skin from thyroid disease. I personally make my own. Xoxo
Vivian! I found that lotion, 20oz for 12.99 at my local outlet store. I was like, yup, you coming home with me because Vivian said so. Totally forgot to tell my husband what it's for, until he tells me he used it... After the shower... ON HIS FACE!!! I told him to go wash it off, his face is a little sensitive but I think he'll survive.
Oh I second this!!!! I loved Bailey’s but that price…no thank you. The Kirklands brand is $16.99, same bottle of Bailey’s at Costco is nearly $40 and in a liquor store over $40 for sure. Vivian try it! And then put it on your channel. 💕
Vivian you need to try the water enhancer at Aldis. You get a canister of 5 or 6 packs that you use 1 each for a gallon of water. The canisters cost 1.60 per. So that’s 5 or 6 gallons of enhanced water for $1.60. Try it and then make a video about that.
I keep a bag of flossers everywhere, girl! Pocket book, suitcase, car, bedroom, living room, bathroom, everywhere! I am always ready with the flossers. We also buy the knock off of the Ice drinks. My husband loves them! My husband's favorite is the Black Raspberry, also.
I did the foot peel, as per your video ; amazing, and a little disgusting, what came off of these 65 yr old feet!! Now they are as pink and smooth as my 3 yr old grandson’s feet. Can’t wait to try the lotion!
I have a few: 18 lbs of Kirkland Grain Free Cat food for $25 dollars (this is a Canyon River brand knock off and really good quality, and closet thing at the pet store is at least $10 more for about 3 lbs less) Primal Kitchen Mayonnaise- same price as Walmart but you get TWICE as much-this is so good and helped me kick my bad oil addiction to Hellman's S.PELLEGRINO flavored sparking waters. You get 24 for like 12 dollars and its the really GOOD flavors. This is my favorite brand of sparkling water Kirkland Organic Peanut Butter-excellent quality, nothing but organic peanuts and salt. I buy this to make curry and mole and it is AMAZING Keto Ice Cream Bars-excellent quality and price
YES on Kirkland peanut butter. Best peanut butter in the world. The only problem is that it is EXTREMELY SEPARATED and the jar is FULL so you really can't stir it in the jar. What I do is scrape the whole mess into a bowl and whisk it till emulsified, then put it back into the jar. Yes, it's a hassle. Yes, it's worth it...and stored in the fridge it doesn't separate again.
Vivian add heavy cream to your sparkling ice drink, it's like a creamcickle so yummy. I haven't tried Costco brand yet but the original are sooo good especially the pineapple my fav.
Although it takes 2 hours to get to a Costco here I was at the one in Myrtle Beach the other day and heard somekk on me say, “OMG! They have Ice Sparkiing drinks on sale!” So a case (24) came home with me for $15.99. Now, it’s not the better price of the Kirkland brand @$10.99, but Ice was the only thing offered. I thought it was a great price but I will have to look for the Kirkland brand for furniture purchasing. Maybe I’ll just order it from the website. Shipping is no big deal because I use almost a tank of gas to get there and back which is much more than the shipping price.
Girl, AmLactin is my go to lotion and you don't need a lot at all! I stay stocked up on it lol AND, it goes on sale all the time...well, every other month...maybe haha You got that right, Costco purchases are only on sale or clearance...always!
@@chriswitmer7001 when you try it, use a little at a time. Tends to be a bit sticky until it absorbes if you use too much. I'm picky and it doesn't bother me.
Oh do excited to try the KS Sparkling Ice. I didn't know they made those! My aesthetician recommends Amlactin lotion all the time. She really likes it and considers it a very good quality product at a very reasonable price. My two Costco must buys are: 1. Kirkland Signature Puppy Training Pads. They sell a large box of 100 for much less than you can buy them anywhere else and they're a very good quality. They are also larger than the standard 22x22 size that you typically find. They fit perfectly inside a small crate. 2.y favorite food item to buy is Kirkland Signature Sausage & Beef Lasagna. You get a two pack of lasagnas for around $17. They cook in 24 minutes in the microwave and it is delicious! It has a little bit of spiciness to it and it's just the best thing ever. I don't typically like frozen lasagna. Any that I've tried is never really had much taste to it but Costco has nailed it on this one and you get two trays of it. They'tr not quite 9x13! they're a little bit smaller than that but there a good size. You can get four large servings per tray or six smaller servings. It depends on if you're serving extras on the side like a vegetable or salad and garlic bread with it is to how many servings you'll want to make out of that but I would highly recommend you give it a try and feature it on your channel. Thanks so much Vivian!
Thanks for heads up on the lotion. I need something good for my crusty feet! My dermatologist told me to get urea cream. It works but is sooooo strong.
Apparently, there is etiquette when filling up at the Costco gasoline pumps in the US. Each location is a little different. Rules change location to location. Perhaps you can do the dirty work for me, Vivian, and do some Costco gasoline pump etiquette videos! 😉
I'm buying my gas at Costco since they started selling gasoline using membership and pay card,what is the etiquette? Am I missing something? San Diego,CA
At my local Costco (North Miami, Fl) they have electronic signs that tell you when a pump has opened so the next person in line at that section of pumps can move to it...you go around the cars that are still pumping. Its very orderly & efficient.
@@jolantazielinski2617 I am no experts. There is enough talk about them in Costco forums. Apparently, some places have 3-4 sets of pumps. The hose can reach to either side, but not all cars want the hose passing over their cars so they wait for a pump to open up like a normal pump. . Some places have lights that direct you what pumps are open. Others do not. Some have attendants that direct you. Some locations all the cars move into the “slots” at the same time. Most places you drive around the cars when spots open up. Some people refuse to drive around cars and wait for a convenient spot to open. Some people leave their doors open when they get out and if it’s tight then cars can’t get around.
Yes! I always buy when they go on sale- just have to watch the limit. But then I just go back over and over during the sale period or do self check out multiple times in separate transactions if limit is 1 or 2! Lol. Amlactin and glossers routinely go on sale! I will check out Kirkland’s (Magnum knock off)ice cream - I recently bought their haagan das on sale. This r so good at 150 calories! I have been with Costco since 2001- my only regret is that I didn’t buy Costco stocks!!! Boo.. thanks Vivian! ❤️👍
@@trickedbykathycat5250 yes that's the brand I buy. I live in South carolina. They are less than $15 here. for four pillow cases and the sheets I have queen size beds. And I have bought them for all my beds. they're not even cheap feeling. They are made very good. I'm still shocked about those sheets LOL. Have a good one.
I do road construction. Work boots are evil to the feet. 100% agree about am-lactin for the feet. Been using it for a couple years. My feet are soft and smooth. I swear by the stuff.
Vivian If I could give you a MILLION LIKES👍 I would!!! Thank you for these HELPFUL and ENTERTAINING videos!! YOUR AWESOME.!! I gotta run and get me the Lotion, ice cream and sparkling drinks now...lol.
Molecular biologist here 🙋🏽♂️… be careful with that amlactin don’t use it daily like Vivian said.. I used it a body lotion and my bum bum burned and peeled trust me unless your skin can handle daily use… use it 2-3x a week it say on the bottom I didn’t read lol
Hey, Vivian! I've made so many smart purchases because of you! I've also saved a lot of money on s**t that didn't work because of you as well! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart and my pockets!!! QUESTIONS: Which membership should I get? BJ's is closer to me and its membership is cheaper (at least for the first year), but does Costco generally have better or more sale items?
Costco is the bomb. It is just my husband and myself now (we threw the kids out, not really) and we don't go for 25 lbs of catsup, but we love the wine.
Another cheap why to have a beverage is to take water, fresh fruit and honey. It's a good way to drink water without you realizing it. Get loose leafy tea. I know it's a little bit pricey. However you you can buy in in bulk on Amazon or on the website of the company that you buy from. Starwest is a good organic company. So it mountain rose.
You don't have to be a member to use their pharmacy either! If you do not have prescription insurance, they even have a card you can register for that gives you an additional discount on their already low prices for prescriptions! They will even fill scripts for pets at very reasonable prices!
When I heard about that, I would give my daughter cash and she would purchase me a gift card with her membership. I did experience a sales pitch from the cashiers during checkout to become a member. Then I found out I could purchase a membership using credit card points, so I did. That was almost a year ago and the other day when I was cleaning out my wallet, I found a Costco gift card. I had never used it so I had a $100 surprise! Much needed with inflation and being a senior living on a fixed and limited income. 🤑 And as a member, no sales pitch to join.
Loved your video new to your channel. Please be careful with artificial sweeteners. I used to drink 4-5 cans of Diet Coke a day for years. Now have depression and migraines. Researched and found out it’s neuro toxic and drinkers of diet pop are 30% more likely to get depression.
Vivian, Kirkland doesn't knock stuff off, it requires the name brands on their shelves to produce the Kirkland generics. So most of the time it's the same product. Which is smart because there are a lot of sheeple who will still buy the name brand even with the same exact product next to it for half the price.
The amlactin cream is also good for Keratosis Pilaris or “chicken skin” condition. Patients who have little red bumps on the back of their arms or legs. I use it all of the time to treat my KP. It’s wonderful stuff and a great price. And I’m a pharmacist. So you gotta trust me! And Vivian of course hahhaha
Thank you! I have chicken skin on my torso too! I'll give that lotion a try.
Can it be used daily for eczema?
@@chenaijohnson1401 I have bad Psorisis so I was curious too ?
That’s great to know. Thank you!
Thanks Brett! I have the exact same problem and it’s so hard to find a good product!

That's one heck of a hustle....
Hhmmm looks like I need an upgrade
I bought the Executive membership specifically for the cash back, especially on gas. I use my own car for work and buy about 10-12 gallons of gas every day. I'm already over $350 in cash back for the year and the gas part now has dropped from 4% to 1% because I've passed the $7000 annual limit for 4%. Expensive year for gas, but I'll have enough cash back to pay for most of a set of tires when I need them, plus the regular gas prices are anywhere from $.05 cheaper to at times $.35 cheaper. LOL

Tons and tons of other people do Costco clips but girl, you made it fun to watch. We are a member since 84 and never regretted it 🎉🎉🎉
I recently went to Costco & bought Kirkland version of Tylenol, Advil, & Benedryl. I got like 2 years worth of medication! Girl, the Kirkland version of Zyrtec is a BARGAIN!
Amen about the Kirkland version of Zyrtec. You get a whole years worth for like nothing. It’s the only place I buy it!
Getting a Costco membership is the best for the gasoline alone, specially when it goes up.
I have heard the Kirkland brand products is the same as the brand products.
That is the reason the Kirkland brands are soooo good. Have a nice day.
FYI, the AmLactin is going to be on sale at Costco. $4 off their already amazing price of $16
And, if you bought it at regular price within 30 days of the sale, they'll honor the sale price and refund the difference.
Thanks Lisa. I didn’t know that! It’s gonna save me a lot of headache in the future
@@Penguinchubb0 I have purchased things that were in the Black Friday sales a few days before the sale started, in case they sold out. Then, I just had them refund the difference during the sale.
I think their regular price is now $19.20. So the ~$16 is the sale price. Either way a great deal.
@@brettbailey2295 $12.99 is the sale price. $16.99 regular price. Just bought it yesterday

Lol me too. Canadian dollar stores don’t have even half of what they do in the states lol
Every time I go to Canada I go to Walmart- you have different products than we do (also pharmacy prices are so cheap) and Dollarama
I want Dyso - the Japanesw dollar store bc her vids on that stuff blows my mind!!!
I travel back and forth (dual citizenship) and I send boxes home from Costco!
Yes!!! Vivian is correct. I had terrible dry/itchy winter skin, called my dermatologist, they said go buy Amlactin, I did, works incredibly well, I won't buy anything else.
Hi Vivian! I’m a Board Certified Wound Nurse. We prescribe AmLactin 12% (Ammonium Lactate) all the time. Don’t use it between the toes. Keep between toes clean and dry. We usually only use if for a limited period of time; twice a day for 2 weeks. Good stuff!

Thanks for the info.
I only see the 14 oz for that price… the 20 oz is more.
@@theoriginallacey Amazon prices vary wildly. Keep checking it.

Hi Vivian!
You may want to give the Kirkland Irish cream a try. It's delicious and way better priced than Bailey.
Oh I second this!!!! I loved Bailey’s but that price…no thank you. The Kirklands brand is $16.99, same bottle of Bailey’s at Costco is nearly $40 and in a liquor store over $40 for sure. Vivian try it! And then put it on your channel. 💕
Yes, I just bought it and it is delicious
agreed!
love you, your show, your comments and especially the products. I never buy anything new before checking your channel first
I been using the lactic acidosis lotion for years! It makes your skin the softest! It is the best ever!
Woohoo, i made it on time!!!! Got my drink, got my snacks, I'm ready for some laughs! 😄❤

Kirkland ice cream bars is my families favorite. We serve it during parties, get together & anytime in between😃
💛UR top 5 Vivian, thanks🌸
I did the foot peel, as per your video ; amazing, and a little disgusting, what came off of these 65 yr old feet!! Now they are as pink and smooth as my 3 yr old grandson’s feet. Can’t wait to try the lotion!
I have a few:
18 lbs of Kirkland Grain Free Cat food for $25 dollars (this is a Canyon River brand knock off and really good quality, and closet thing at the pet store is at least $10 more for about 3 lbs less)
Primal Kitchen Mayonnaise- same price as Walmart but you get TWICE as much-this is so good and helped me kick my bad oil addiction to Hellman's
S.PELLEGRINO flavored sparking waters. You get 24 for like 12 dollars and its the really GOOD flavors. This is my favorite brand of sparkling water
Kirkland Organic Peanut Butter-excellent quality, nothing but organic peanuts and salt. I buy this to make curry and mole and it is AMAZING
Keto Ice Cream Bars-excellent quality and price
YES on Kirkland peanut butter. Best peanut butter in the world. The only problem is that it is EXTREMELY SEPARATED and the jar is FULL so you really can't stir it in the jar. What I do is scrape the whole mess into a bowl and whisk it till emulsified, then put it back into the jar. Yes, it's a hassle. Yes, it's worth it...and stored in the fridge it doesn't separate again.
AmLactin is the best! I only buy it at Costco. A few weeks ago it was $6.00 off..I bought 2 of them. Use it on my feet too Vivian! YOU GO GIRL!
keep an eye on expatiating dates...
Everytime I see a notification for your videos I know it's going to be a good time ❤️
Love that you still have your desk with the stick on wallpaper!
AmLactin lotion: Kirkland Malbec red wine: Kirkland ice cream bars: Plackers floss on a stick: Kirkland sparkling carbonated water.
More Costco review PLEASE. SO GOOD!
Vivian add heavy cream to your sparkling ice drink, it's like a creamcickle so yummy. I haven't tried Costco brand yet but the original are sooo good especially the pineapple my fav.
Sounds delicious
Although it takes 2 hours to get to a Costco here I was at the one in Myrtle Beach the other day and heard somekk on me say, “OMG! They have Ice Sparkiing drinks on sale!” So a case (24) came home with me for $15.99. Now, it’s not the better price of the Kirkland brand @$10.99, but Ice was the only thing offered. I thought it was a great price but I will have to look for the Kirkland brand for furniture purchasing. Maybe I’ll just order it from the website.
Shipping is no big deal because I use almost a tank of gas to get there and back which is much more than the shipping price.
Girl, AmLactin is my go to lotion and you don't need a lot at all! I stay stocked up on it lol AND, it goes on sale all the time...well, every other month...maybe haha
You got that right, Costco purchases are only on sale or clearance...always!
Amalactin used to be on prescription; the best for dry scaly feet!
I've never heard of it but can't wait to try it. 😊
@@rebellajm : I need AmLactin for my hubby. I've never heard of it but probably because it was a prescription. Sounds like good stuff! 🙂
@@chriswitmer7001 when you try it, use a little at a time. Tends to be a bit sticky until it absorbes if you use too much. I'm picky and it doesn't bother me.
Great stuff! I buy mine in the jar. I love it.
🤪I just Love your directions on how to use the lotion. 😂 Very funny 🤣. 🥰 Thank you ☺️
Oh do excited to try the KS Sparkling Ice. I didn't know they made those! My aesthetician recommends Amlactin lotion all the time. She really likes it and considers it a very good quality product at a very reasonable price.
My two Costco must buys are:
1. Kirkland Signature Puppy Training Pads. They sell a large box of 100 for much less than you can buy them anywhere else and they're a very good quality. They are also larger than the standard 22x22 size that you typically find. They fit perfectly inside a small crate.
2.y favorite food item to buy is Kirkland Signature Sausage & Beef Lasagna. You get a two pack of lasagnas for around $17. They cook in 24 minutes in the microwave and it is delicious! It has a little bit of spiciness to it and it's just the best thing ever. I don't typically like frozen lasagna. Any that I've tried is never really had much taste to it but Costco has nailed it on this one and you get two trays of it. They'tr not quite 9x13! they're a little bit smaller than that but there a good size. You can get four large servings per tray or six smaller servings. It depends on if you're serving extras on the side like a vegetable or salad and garlic bread with it is to how many servings you'll want to make out of that but I would highly recommend you give it a try and feature it on your channel. Thanks so much Vivian!
Thanks for heads up on the lotion. I need something good for my crusty feet! My dermatologist told me to get urea cream. It works but is sooooo strong.
Your videos are always SO fun! Thanks for all the great content!
Apparently, there is etiquette when filling up at the Costco gasoline pumps in the US. Each location is a little different. Rules change location to location. Perhaps you can do the dirty work for me, Vivian, and do some Costco gasoline pump etiquette videos! 😉
I'm buying my gas at Costco since they started selling gasoline using membership and pay card,what is the etiquette? Am I missing something? San Diego,CA
At my local Costco (North Miami, Fl) they have electronic signs that tell you when a pump has opened so the next person in line at that section of pumps can move to it...you go around the cars that are still pumping. Its very orderly & efficient.
@@TheShelbySue That’s great. We don’t have that.
@@jolantazielinski2617 I can’t really speak to it. I’ve read about it a lot on Costco forums.
@@jolantazielinski2617 I am no experts. There is enough talk about them in Costco forums. Apparently, some places have 3-4 sets of pumps. The hose can reach to either side, but not all cars want the hose passing over their cars so they wait for a pump to open up like a normal pump. . Some places have lights that direct you what pumps are open. Others do not. Some have attendants that direct you. Some locations all the cars move into the “slots” at the same time. Most places you drive around the cars when spots open up. Some people refuse to drive around cars and wait for a convenient spot to open. Some people leave their doors open when they get out and if it’s tight then cars can’t get around.
You crack me up, Vivian Tries!! 😂
Oh Vivian I'm going to try the lotion!! Thank you for sharing this one!! Have a great week and try to stay cool. Prayers & Wishes Lisa Hampton 😃
I love those Kirkland sparkling drinks! They are so good!!
Good Deals tft I watched the video when you put the sticky tiles on your desk, still loving it.
Amlactin is the only lotion that I use.
Like that it kills the crusty skin. Thanks for your reviews, so enjoyable.
costco card in hand, let's go....!
Yes! I always buy when they go on sale- just have to watch the limit. But then I just go back over and over during the sale period or do self check out multiple times in separate transactions if limit is 1 or 2! Lol. Amlactin and glossers routinely go on sale! I will check out Kirkland’s (Magnum knock off)ice cream - I recently bought their haagan das on sale. This r so good at 150 calories! I have been with Costco since 2001- my only regret is that I didn’t buy Costco stocks!!! Boo.. thanks Vivian! ❤️👍
Try the microfiber sheets they sell for so cheap. they are wonderful. And I am very picky about sheets. Great video see you in the next one
Oh yes, I love those sheets!
I had to get another set, they are soooo soft.
Kirkland Brand?
@@JaneFeibelman Charisma brand.
Thanks!
@@trickedbykathycat5250 yes that's the brand I buy. I live in South carolina. They are less than $15 here. for four pillow cases and the sheets I have queen size beds. And I have bought them for all my beds. they're not even cheap feeling. They are made very good. I'm still shocked about those sheets LOL. Have a good one.
I love the ice sparkling water I've seen these in store wasn't sure if any good. I'm gonna go pick myself up them now
I do road construction. Work boots are evil to the feet. 100% agree about am-lactin for the feet. Been using it for a couple years. My feet are soft and smooth. I swear by the stuff.
Vivian If I could give you a MILLION LIKES👍 I would!!! Thank you for these HELPFUL and ENTERTAINING videos!! YOUR AWESOME.!!
I gotta run and get me the Lotion, ice cream and sparkling drinks now...lol.
I was just crying ..
Then i saw the wine ..
Now, I know I'll be laughing 😂🤣
I have been buying my Plackers from Walmart for years. I had no clue Costco sold these but now I do. Thanks so much for the heads up. 😁
Love your suggestions for Costco. Saves me time of wondering the isles not knowing what’s good or bad 👍
I love Sparkling Ice, don't drink Pepsi anymore. But I only drink the lemonade flavor. Nothing better than ice cold sparkling lemonade on a hot day!
Girl, you have me over here cracking up! Great video!
Vivian buys it and tried it so you don't have too...
Much love to you Vivian xxx
This lady cracks me up. I love her😂
Molecular biologist here 🙋🏽♂️… be careful with that amlactin don’t use it daily like Vivian said.. I used it a body lotion and my bum bum burned and peeled trust me unless your skin can handle daily use… use it 2-3x a week it say on the bottom I didn’t read lol
Hey, Vivian! I've made so many smart purchases because of you! I've also saved a lot of money on s**t that didn't work because of you as well! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart and my pockets!!!
QUESTIONS: Which membership should I get? BJ's is closer to me and its membership is cheaper (at least for the first year), but does Costco generally have better or more sale items?
Most people prefer Costco --- I've been shopping there for 28 years.
Plackers are the best by far. Been using them for years and was so excited when I saw a few years ago that costco carries them.
Costco is the bomb. It is just my husband and myself now (we threw the kids out, not really) and we don't go for 25 lbs of catsup, but we love the wine.
Another cheap why to have a beverage is to take water, fresh fruit and honey. It's a good way to drink water without you realizing it. Get loose leafy tea. I know it's a little bit pricey. However you you can buy in in bulk on Amazon or on the website of the company that you buy from. Starwest is a good organic company. So it mountain rose.
My jaw dropped with the floss! I did the math and you are getting more for a good buck!
Unbelievable prices for ALL OF THOSE PRODUCTS!!!! Thank you girl!
Yasssssssssssss! Vivien...Nodding you are soooo right!!! Hahaha! Cheers!
Did you know if you buy a Costco or Sams club gift card and use that you can avoid a monthly/yearly membership fee?
I did not! Thank you!
But how do I buy the gift card without a membership
How so? Do you mean just for that one visit? Do you have to buy a certain amount of a gift card.
You don't have to be a member to use their pharmacy either! If you do not have prescription insurance, they even have a card you can register for that gives you an additional discount on their already low prices for prescriptions! They will even fill scripts for pets at very reasonable prices!
When I heard about that, I would give my daughter cash and she would purchase me a gift card with her membership. I did experience a sales pitch from the cashiers during checkout to become a member. Then I found out I could purchase a membership using credit card points, so I did. That was almost a year ago and the other day when I was cleaning out my wallet, I found a Costco gift card. I had never used it so I had a $100 surprise! Much needed with inflation and being a senior living on a fixed and limited income. 🤑 And as a member, no sales pitch to join.
This is the first time I’ve viewed. I LOVE your evaluations-thanks
I'm ADDICTED to the Kirkland brand sparking water....sooo good! Way better than the Ice brand!
Love video plus wine plus costco stuff!!!!!
Loved your video new to your channel. Please be careful with artificial sweeteners. I used to drink 4-5 cans of Diet Coke a day for years. Now have depression and migraines. Researched and found out it’s neuro toxic and drinkers of diet pop are 30% more likely to get depression.
Vivian, Kirkland doesn't knock stuff off, it requires the name brands on their shelves to produce the Kirkland generics. So most of the time it's the same product. Which is smart because there are a lot of sheeple who will still buy the name brand even with the same exact product next to it for half the price.
