Pro tip💥 The Asterix in the corner of the Costco price signs means that the item is leaving the store. Buy it when you see it or it’s gone until next year maybe forever.
thank you for this trip I did not know that! I can't tell you how many times I have passed it by and thought well I'll get it next time and then you go back and it's gone. thank you very very much
Going to Costco with you has been my most fun Costco trip ever!! My hubby always drags me away from anything interesting but with you I got to see things in detail. So much fun!!!!!! ❤️
Hello Becky. I love your channel. You have such a wonderful bubbly personality. Did you know you could easily make your own potting mix for seed starting by using a big compressed bag of peat moss and a big bag of vermiculite. Ratio of about 3:1. And then sterilize it yourself by pouring boiling water over it. Then when you go to up pot your little seedlings you can add amendments like worm castings or fertilizers. You can save a lot of money by mixing up your own. I know you’re no longer practicing but I too am a dental hygienist that loves to grow my own food. Happy gardening this season. 😃
Jen Joy Can you use perlite? I'm having hard time finding these products now.Im in north Florida and the shipping problem is affecting these products. When I find the " lites " they are in very small bags.Thanks
For the organizers: I only have 1 set from Costco and I use them for specific purposes. I use the smaller ones to hold my eggs and bacon/meat defrosting and I use the larger ones for cheese and cold cuts. I only have the 4 currently because I worry that I will just shove them to the sides rather than use them properly.
Hit the refresh button on the feed at the perfect time! Good morning Becky! Thank you for another video, hope you have a wonderful day, thanks for brightening mine 🌄
I’ll wagon that you pay $100 for is better than a wheel barrel it doesn’t tip you can put 1000 pounds on it and you can put the sides down my grandkids 78 and nine lifted my picnic table and took it down the hill when no one else could lift it
I love that you are still educating about oral hygiene! I had no idea the oral b's were so cheap at Costco. I will definitely be recommending this to my pt. Love your videos 🦷❤
You asked about the refrigerator bins. I bought a set and have found they really enhance refrigerator storage. First, I use them for holding fresh meat and or meat I have pulled from freezer to thaw. Doing that, I no longer need to worry about drips from packages happening. Next, I use them to hold soda cans and bottles of water. Very helpful to keep drinks from being knocked around in the refrigerator. Finally, I use them to hold fresh produce, Right now, mine is holding celery, cucumbers, peppers. You can see what you have in stock, and pull out the container for prepping. The interior of my refrigerator is so much cleaner now. In addition, I have a lazy susan that holds my pickled condiments. We love different types of pickles, and I can turn them to see which I want. So, feel free to try them. They have also served as pantry organizers and drawer organizers. Very versatile.
Hey Becky. I just learned that when the Costco signs have that start on it they aren’t reordering that item. So if you want that brazing cast iron pan, you may want to get it now lol
The asterisk at the top is not coming back (sometimes for now). The .97 states it been marked down and will sell faster. If you see .97 better get it while you can.
For the towels I will load mine up once a month and take them to a laundry mat and bleach them really good. This way it doesn’t mess up my septic system and I am able to keep them white. I also have white sheets.
I have those chimes. It's worth every single penny. They sound so soothing and magical. The amount of time you spend outside I know without a doubt you will fall in love with them.
Yes, that bag is the best bag. We use this all the time for everything. Mostly camping, clothes, groceries, brings stuff to other peoples houses. They are wonderful.
So I recommend the creamy dill salad. I mix in 2 cans of drained tuna, dill pickle relish and your homemade mayo to get the consistency I want. It’s so tasty, you’ll love it if you like dill.
I know this is a late comment, but I just bought a house with a Willow tree in a small front yard. It was growing so fast that it was tearing up our cement walkway/steps up to our front door. I had one fall with this tree and the leaves were so horrible. The long stems come down and fly everywhere and into my neighbor's yard. FOr this reason, we had to remove the tree. It was so beautiful. But it was the wrong spot for it. I reccomend a very very big open space for it. and possibly someplace that you don't mind the leave just going everywhere for. love your videos!
Yes! You completed your pantry challenge, now is time to shop, and watching this video it's like I'm right there with you shopping, thank you for this video Becky.
I do that too, and I also put my shopping bags 🛍 in the clip with my purse. Hangs between the basket and myself, and leaves the upper basket available.
Re storage bins. After my last fridge clean and having to soak off "mystery spills" from the shelves and bottom, I went with bins. I found them at home goods. I don't have a salad crisper drawer and shoving fresh veggies in shelves they were getting lost. My whole fridge is organized, fresh meats go in one (incase it leaks before I cook it) sour cream/cottage cheese in another, circular turntable for daily used condiments (my favorite) a big one for veggies, one for yogurts parmesan cheeses, one for pickles and fermented foods, milk and cream run along one side of the upper, jars of bacon grease line the back of the upper shelves. eggs go in the bottom stacked on each other. For the 1st time I know where everything is and no spills and no more waste. Yay! Did the same with the freezer above.
I use my organizers in my fridge and in my pantry. They're nice to keep smaller items from getting pushed to the back. I have one that has all of my homemade Chinese ingredients, and I have one for my cartons of egg whites from Costco. You get the idea. I have both the shorter and taller ones for my pantry to keep like items together. I use the taller ones for bottles of vinegar, oils, sauces, etc. I got all of mine off of Amazon. They have bundles you can get for a fairly good price. One set came with an egg storage, and I use that to put my hard-boiled eggs in so it wouldn't be a wasteful spend.
It's totally ok to use the occasional bleach in the washer as it is diluted. You can also use septic enzymes to keep the tank in good working order. I like using Oxyclean in towels and dish/washcloths, as well.
We have a septic and live on a farm. I use bleach on occasion and don’t feel bad about it after a day of cleaning out the barn. Or if the kids throw up and I need to wash those sheets and towels.
Was going to say, a load a day with bleach in it is just fine for septic system. You want to avoid pouring straight bleach down your drain but diluted is fine.
Yes, we have an aerating septic system and we can use bleach products just fine as it uses bleach tablets to help break down the solids but we just can't use any antibacterial hand soap products because those kill the beneficial bacteria in the system.
Becky ! I didn’t realize you had been laid off and were doing TH-cam full time! What a treat for the TH-cam community , I just love you! You turned lemons into lemonade ❤️
Becky I use those plastic bins in my pantry ( tiny room with very deep shelves ). So I label the shelves and do 2 deep so I can pull a bin out easily to get to bin behind it. I tried them in my fridge but they didn’t work as well.
I use the organizers in my pantry... i have a huge 9 x 9 pantry and have spent the last 2 years buying organizers for it... I use the clear organizers for poptarts baking mixes gravy mixes snacks ect ect.. I also found first in first out racks for my cans
Since you were able to quit your job to do this channel full time, it would be great to hear your story of how that process went, what did well and didn't and what your next plans for the channel are. 😊
I planted organic two bite potatoes and they did great! I put them under a grow light to get them to sprout a little faster and I had a really good harvest!
I love the refrigerator bins in my pantry and fridge to sort snacks like nuts and cookies and pasta boxes. When the bin is full I can’t buy anymore. I also use them in the fridge for tangerines, apples and grapes. I also use a skinny one for snacks for my husband’s lunch box
Oh yeah I forgot about the peanut butter powder. I can't eat peanuts anymore but before I was a peanut fanatic and I love peanut butter powder. I put it in my protein shakes, and believe it or not in my coffee. I would have chocolate peanut butter coffee and it was delicious. I know it sounds crazy but if you were a peanut butter it's absolutely amazing !!
All the turtle necks make you look as your neck is missing and yes to the shorts great idea. Roses can be hard to maintain my dad had rose garden, I’ve tried no luck. I have those bushes I have to trim mine makes them bloom inside of itself.
The Bosch is the best ever! I've had mine for 30 years...best ever purchase!! I love how the motor is under the machine or to the side and doesn't get in the way of pouring things in. It also mixes a tone of whole grain dough!
Ok so the fabric garden cart is awesome but the fabric tears eventually. We use it for EVERYTHING including hauling wood for the wood stove. And for slugs, I have a friend in the PNW who uses ducks for her slug problems. That way it’s organic and you get eggs. I love everything but the bagel seasoning for my signature sheet pan meal.
The only drawback to the powder peanut butter is it’s more processed. It’s less satisfying b/c there’s little fat and it’s further away from the real thing. It’s nice to have as a back up though. Loved this whole video!
I have started using the fridge organizers. I LOVE them! Nothing gets lost in the back anymore. Becky, I so enjoy your videos. You gave me something to look forward to during all this world's craziness. You also have me experimenting with cooking. My husband thanks you.
We can't buy that grass fed butter here in NZ, but as far as I know all of our butter here is made with milk from grass fed, grass finished cows as that's the norm here.
The weeping willow roots seek out water sources so unless you either have a pond or nature water source on your property, I wouldn't recommend them. They will ruin your water lines....
The only organizer stuff for the fridge that I have and use is 2 containers for eggs and 2 containers for milk because we use milk in bags here. I can stack something on top of the milk organizers and still get the milk bags out of the bottom the way it opens. The egg containers I like because I can see how many eggs we have left easily and not have to open the paper cartons all the time. The rest I feel personally they take up to much space in order to organize, especially in my case with a larger family.
I just found fingerling potatoes at the grocery store. I bought them because they are sprouting. You can't find potatoes starts here until April. Lol I also have some at home that didn't get used all the way so I'll be planting those too.
I always steer clear of Christopher Ranch garlic after watching the Netflix series "Rotten". We started growing our own years ago, so it just solidified the decision to keep growing our own.
Becky, Kroger is having a sale on chicken for 99 cents a pound here in Coos Bay Or. I think it is going on at all the fred meyer kroger stores till next weekend
Well that was a surprise seeing the grass-fed butter from New Zealand, I actually live in New Zealand at the moment we are paying anything from $5.80 to nearly $7 per 500g for butter
We like VItamix and Kitchen Aid too here at the homestead. My mom currently has two sizes of kitchen aid (we use both of them regularly). One is that same size you saw at Costco, the other is the more normal smaller size. My Mom has owned three of the normal sized ones and just two of the large ones in 55 years with nearly daily use for making breads, grinding wheat, slicing, making orange juice, etc. I think the work we put the kitchen aids through and the vitamix through is a testimony of how good they are. The different sizes have thier good points.
Believe it or not, I did not freeze all of the organic peeled garlic and it sprouted and I was able to plant it. I plant or store-bought organic potatoes all of the time, including purple yams and Japanese sweet potatoes. I have never purchased seed potatoes before.
Becky, you should definitely try the everything but the bagel seasoning. I had steamed cabbage last night with just butter and that seasoning and it was delicious! Really enjoying this Costco shop. My Costco is about 2 1/2 hours away so I never go. You are definitely inspiring me to do a Costco day, maybe with a friend. Back again to say I have used the peanut butter powder, both regular and chocolate, and they are very good for smoothies.
Oh wow, the new York steak in au is over $80 for 3 steaks!!! I wish we got the same stuff here, some of it is but the things I want seem to only be in USA. I use containers to sort my fridge, I have a tub for cheese and dairy, one for salad things, one for fruit and one for veg. Then I use the vege crisper dras for condiments and spreads etc. I don't like them on the shelf as they get lost or knocked off. In a draw I can see all of them and nothing gets missed. In the door I have juice and milk and bottles that are too tall for the draws. It's been working great and so much less gets missed. The crispers stay clean and the tube are super easy to clean every week. I love my class for containers too. I use them every day, sadly the lid went in the dishwasher and they are now bent and splitting wet. Before the dishwasher they looked new at 8 yrs old!!!
You should try wine making. If you can find a recipe you like it is way cheaper to make it rather than buy it. I started making it 1 1/2 years ago and love it.
With regard to the refrigerator organizers, I tried them but found that they actually took up more room. They didn't work for me, but I guess if depends on if you have things that would roll around or otherwise be messy.
Most costcos try to source local to keep prices down. It's a part of their company policy. What they can't get local or provide themselves they outsource. I'm on the central coast Cali and the wine section is full of local wines. Whole chickens here are at 1.29 a pound for the double pack.
We have those Adirondack chairs around one of our fire pits. They are very comfortable. We had beautiful wooden ones custom made when we lived in NY. When we moved they got ruined. We hope to find some nice wood ones for another seating area in the garden. But I’m surprised at how comfortable those from Costco are. I need to go to Costco soon. Haven’t been since fall. I hope we have that grass fed butter!
Yes, Costco goes for local wines. I live in Sonoma County, and we have a ton of local wines. I work at Costco and it's a great store to shop and work for. I do have to leave my cards, money and check book at home. I would not have any money but would have cool stuff. Yes, I have put organic potatoes from Costco in the ground when they started sprouting. I have gotten a lot of new potato's out of it. I have the cloth wheel barrel and it's really nice. It does wash out and stays fairly clean. I just use it for the garden. I have seen other people use it to tote their kids and toys in. The PB fit is a sell out at our store. It's hard to find. Thank you for taking us along on your shopping tour. :) The best part about working at Costco on the registers is that I get to shop all day and not spend a dime.
Powdered peanut butter is brilliant. I have had weight loss surgery and being able to add the peanut powder to give me extra protein without it taking up too much space in my belly is perfect. Tastes great.
Awesome video! There's a Costco about an hour and a half away from me but I'm going to make the trip! I've been looking for the perfect gray towels and those are it!
@13:00 mom has something similar to these in her fridge to store jars mainly ( condiments). I honestly don’t like them since I feel they waste some space. Although they look neater and easier to grab
The fire roasted hatch chilis you walked by are amazing.... Caesar salad kit used to be 3.99, now 8.99! Interesting how many things our Costco doesn't carry any more (can't get, they say...), your Costco still has. Importantly, the bag of peel garlic.... It makes the most gloriously sweet fermented garlic. A.Ma.Zing.
I took a clipboard and checked prices at Cosco, Winco and Walmart. Winco won hands down on prices that were lower...even though prices are going up everywhere:(
I love my bike shorts. With being a lady with junk in my trunk it’s hard to find a pair that doesnt ride up to daisy dukes. Bike shorts are long enough and comfy. Yes to the wind chimes
I have not been able to find the kitchen scissors I had at one time. They were really good and came apart into two pieces so I could get them clean. I never have liked the ones that don’t come apart I don’t feel you can ever get them clean between the blades at the pivot.
I waited until the refrigerator containers were at Aldi or on sale at different stores. I like them to keep my refrigerator organized; however, my family just stuffs whatever in them and ruins my organization system! Lol I hope your family is better trained than mine.
The Costco Dill pickle salad is awesome. We put a piece of grilled salmon on it. It's delicious but you have to like dill. the croutons are usually all broken up but not a deal breaker
YES! BUY THE DRIED PEANUT BUTTER! I love it. Dip fruit & veggies in it. Reconstitute it. Make peanut sauces or dips, with alot less fat and amazing flavor.
I went to Costco March 1st. I was so excited for a shopping trip after pantry challenge. I need to go back and pick up a couple of things I was eyeing. Every time I go there some extra stuff ends up in my cart. That place is dangerous for my budget. lol
Pro tip💥 The Asterix in the corner of the Costco price signs means that the item is leaving the store. Buy it when you see it or it’s gone until next year maybe forever.
Oh, wow - good to know! Thank you.
😱 I did not know this
Oh wow! Good to know!
Thanks for the tip!!
thank you for this trip I did not know that! I can't tell you how many times I have passed it by and thought well I'll get it next time and then you go back and it's gone. thank you very very much
Thank you !!!❤️
Going to Costco with you has been my most fun Costco trip ever!! My hubby always drags me away from anything interesting but with you I got to see things in detail. So much fun!!!!!! ❤️
Hello Becky. I love your channel. You have such a wonderful bubbly personality. Did you know you could easily make your own potting mix for seed starting by using a big compressed bag of peat moss and a big bag of vermiculite. Ratio of about 3:1. And then sterilize it yourself by pouring boiling water over it. Then when you go to up pot your little seedlings you can add amendments like worm castings or fertilizers. You can save a lot of money by mixing up your own. I know you’re no longer practicing but I too am a dental hygienist that loves to grow my own food. Happy gardening this season. 😃
Jen Joy Can you use perlite? I'm having hard time finding these products now.Im in north Florida and the shipping problem is affecting these products. When I find the " lites " they are in very small bags.Thanks
For the organizers: I only have 1 set from Costco and I use them for specific purposes. I use the smaller ones to hold my eggs and bacon/meat defrosting and I use the larger ones for cheese and cold cuts. I only have the 4 currently because I worry that I will just shove them to the sides rather than use them properly.
Hit the refresh button on the feed at the perfect time! Good morning Becky! Thank you for another video, hope you have a wonderful day, thanks for brightening mine 🌄
Lmao same 😂
Stay to your list don’t buy the chips
I’ll wagon that you pay $100 for is better than a wheel barrel it doesn’t tip you can put 1000 pounds on it and you can put the sides down my grandkids 78 and nine lifted my picnic table and took it down the hill when no one else could lift it
I love that you are still educating about oral hygiene! I had no idea the oral b's were so cheap at Costco. I will definitely be recommending this to my pt. Love your videos 🦷❤
You asked about the refrigerator bins. I bought a set and have found they really enhance refrigerator storage. First, I use them for holding fresh meat and or meat I have pulled from freezer to thaw. Doing that, I no longer need to worry about drips from packages happening. Next, I use them to hold soda cans and bottles of water. Very helpful to keep drinks from being knocked around in the refrigerator. Finally, I use them to hold fresh produce, Right now, mine is holding celery, cucumbers, peppers. You can see what you have in stock, and pull out the container for prepping. The interior of my refrigerator is so much cleaner now. In addition, I have a lazy susan that holds my pickled condiments. We love different types of pickles, and I can turn them to see which I want. So, feel free to try them. They have also served as pantry organizers and drawer organizers. Very versatile.
Thanks for that. I was wondering the same as Becky and was hoping to find answers in the comments :)
I’m hoping that you have found garden answer on TH-cam. The best of the best in garden information!
Hey Becky. I just learned that when the Costco signs have that start on it they aren’t reordering that item. So if you want that brazing cast iron pan, you may want to get it now lol
Yes, that's the Costco Death Star, meaning it's been flagged to be discontinued. 🙂
The asterisk at the top is not coming back (sometimes for now). The .97 states it been marked down and will sell faster. If you see .97 better get it while you can.
The holes are in the pots, when you look closely you can see the small circle cutouts, very easy to drill them out!
For the towels I will load mine up once a month and take them to a laundry mat and bleach them really good. This way it doesn’t mess up my septic system and I am able to keep them white. I also have white sheets.
I have those chimes. It's worth every single penny. They sound so soothing and magical. The amount of time you spend outside I know without a doubt you will fall in love with them.
Hi Becky! I was at our Costco yesterday and they had the food savers on sale for $99. Hope this helps! 🌺 Jen
Yes on sale this month
You can also get on-line with $2.99 shipping if you don't want to go down the gantlet again.
I saw that as well and bought one :-)
Yes, that bag is the best bag. We use this all the time for everything. Mostly camping, clothes, groceries, brings stuff to other peoples houses. They are wonderful.
So I recommend the creamy dill salad. I mix in 2 cans of drained tuna, dill pickle relish and your homemade mayo to get the consistency I want. It’s so tasty, you’ll love it if you like dill.
I love dill & it has sooo many health benefits. You have to check them out. You'll be amazed❣🙆♀️
girl what! I am a tuna fan and that sounds so good. Thanks for the idea
I know this is a late comment, but I just bought a house with a Willow tree in a small front yard. It was growing so fast that it was tearing up our cement walkway/steps up to our front door.

I have a lot of bins in my fridge and have 4 kids that are in them all the time. Honestly, they always stay organized, always. I absolutely love them!
Aaaagghh, can’t wait to go to bed and watch this! Horrible day at work, full of anxiety! Nothing for it but 40 mins of my favourite you tuber 💗
I use the organizer bin in my freezer. For potting soil in containers. 60% top soil, 20% compost and 20% of pea moss.
And here I am making my Costco shopping list! Perfect timing! 💜
I planted some store bought potatoes that had sprouted in my pantry they grew really well and tasted great.
Oh my gosh...I thought I was the only person who buckles in her purse!! 🤣 Fun video - I love your excitement!
I do it because so many people told me too lol it’s a great idea
I do that too, and I also put my shopping bags 🛍 in the clip with my purse. Hangs between the basket and myself, and leaves the upper basket available.

oh, that's smart! I keep my eggs on the counter; I never thought to use egg containers for boiled eggs! thanks for the tip!!
Shop the spice aisle for herb seeds to plant in your garden also.
It's totally ok to use the occasional bleach in the washer as it is diluted. You can also use septic enzymes to keep the tank in good working order. I like using Oxyclean in towels and dish/washcloths, as well.
Ridx and your fine. I'm assuming you don't use a ton of a bleach. Washing your whites is fine!

@@laurab8547 THIS.
I use two fridge organizers all the time (defrost meat and for small container). The third one sits in my pantry. I got them at Ross on clearance.
Becky ! I didn’t realize you had been laid off and were doing TH-cam full time! What a treat for the TH-cam community , I just love you! You turned lemons into lemonade ❤️
The best time to get soil is at the end of the season when the stores are marking it down on clearance
Just wondering: Did you replace your food processor yet??
Loved watching your joy at being able [to allow yourself] to shop again!!
I was wondering if she replaced it yet also. I would be lost without mine.
I feel the same about wheeping willows. I too don't have a spot for one but would absolutely love one. My favorite tree
Hey Becky, the Creamy Dill Pickle Salad in a bag at Costco is the bomb!!! So good, i buy it all the time👍👍👍
I love to add chicken to it
@@jerib8654 we add a nice piece of grilled salmon

at one time I use to grow roses i grew these blood red roses and they got as big as your hand they where fun and all you girl love them lol
Hi Becky, I do have a Bosch and I love it and I wouldn‘t get red of it for any amount of money. Its so sturdy. Mine is red and looks quite pretty.
You are so stinking adorable. I love your exuberance. Thanks for taking us shopping. I miss Costco since I moved to the East coast
We can't buy that grass fed butter here in NZ, but as far as I know all of our butter here is made with milk from grass fed, grass finished cows as that's the norm here.
Bonus advice! I did not know the dental stuff and I have eyeballed them for many years.
The weeping willow roots seek out water sources so unless you either have a pond or nature water source on your property, I wouldn't recommend them. They will ruin your water lines....
The only organizer stuff for the fridge that I have and use is 2 containers for eggs and 2 containers for milk because we use milk in bags here.

I wear them around the house all summer, and they are so comfortable😍
I always steer clear of Christopher Ranch garlic after watching the Netflix series "Rotten". We started growing our own years ago, so it just solidified the decision to keep growing our own.
Everything bagel seasoning is awesome on roasted potatoes, avacado toast, eggs, sandwhiches. Try it! you will love it.
Becky, Kroger is having a sale on chicken for 99 cents a pound here in Coos Bay Or. I think it is going on at all the fred meyer kroger stores till next weekend
Well that was a surprise seeing the grass-fed butter from New Zealand, I actually live in New Zealand at the moment we are paying anything from $5.80 to nearly $7 per 500g for butter
You can also plant any dry bean from your pantry as well as any untreated whole grain, like wheat berries.
We like VItamix and Kitchen Aid too here at the homestead. My mom currently has two sizes of kitchen aid (we use both of them regularly). One is that same size you saw at Costco, the other is the more normal smaller size. My Mom has owned three of the normal sized ones and just two of the large ones in 55 years with nearly daily use for making breads, grinding wheat, slicing, making orange juice, etc. I think the work we put the kitchen aids through and the vitamix through is a testimony of how good they are. The different sizes have thier good points.
Believe it or not, I did not freeze all of the organic peeled garlic and it sprouted and I was able to plant it.
I plant or store-bought organic potatoes all of the time, including purple yams and Japanese sweet potatoes. I have never purchased seed potatoes before.
Becky, you should definitely try the everything but the bagel seasoning. I had steamed cabbage last night with just butter and that seasoning and it was delicious! Really enjoying this Costco shop. My Costco is about 2 1/2 hours away so I never go. You are definitely inspiring me to do a Costco day, maybe with a friend. Back again to say I have used the peanut butter powder, both regular and chocolate, and they are very good for smoothies.
Yes in the everything but bagels. Good light tipping on some salads too.
Wow. We don’t have any of the big trees or the roses! Only bulbs and fruit trees!
Oh wow, the new York steak in au is over $80 for 3 steaks!!! I wish we got the same stuff here, some of it is but the things I want seem to only be in USA. I use containers to sort my fridge, I have a tub for cheese and dairy, one for salad things, one for fruit and one for veg. Then I use the vege crisper dras for condiments and spreads etc. I don't like them on the shelf as they get lost or knocked off. In a draw I can see all of them and nothing gets missed. In the door I have juice and milk and bottles that are too tall for the draws. It's been working great and so much less gets missed. The crispers stay clean and the tube are super easy to clean every week.
I love my class for containers too. I use them every day, sadly the lid went in the dishwasher and they are now bent and splitting wet. Before the dishwasher they looked new at 8 yrs old!!!
You should try wine making. If you can find a recipe you like it is way cheaper to make it rather than buy it. I started making it 1 1/2 years ago and love it.
With regard to the refrigerator organizers, I tried them but found that they actually took up more room. They didn't work for me, but I guess if depends on if you have things that would roll around or otherwise be messy.
Most costcos try to source local to keep prices down. It's a part of their company policy. What they can't get local or provide themselves they outsource. I'm on the central coast Cali and the wine section is full of local wines. Whole chickens here are at 1.29 a pound for the double pack.
In case you are wondering Kirkland brand dog food is Diamond dog food.
I use them mainly to organize my kids lunch foods, fruits veggies and their snacks
We have those Adirondack chairs around one of our fire pits. They are very comfortable. We had beautiful wooden ones custom made when we lived in NY. When we moved they got ruined. We hope to find some nice wood ones for another seating area in the garden. But I’m surprised at how comfortable those from Costco are.
I need to go to Costco soon. Haven’t been since fall. I hope we have that grass fed butter!
Yes, Costco goes for local wines. I live in Sonoma County, and we have a ton of local wines. I work at Costco and it's a great store to shop and work for. I do have to leave my cards, money and check book at home. I would not have any money but would have cool stuff. Yes, I have put organic potatoes from Costco in the ground when they started sprouting. I have gotten a lot of new potato's out of it. I have the cloth wheel barrel and it's really nice. It does wash out and stays fairly clean. I just use it for the garden. I have seen other people use it to tote their kids and toys in. The PB fit is a sell out at our store. It's hard to find. Thank you for taking us along on your shopping tour. :) The best part about working at Costco on the registers is that I get to shop all day and not spend a dime.
We just bought the the kids water bottles yesterday! It’s a GREAT price. Totally worth it especially because some kids water cups are at least $10+.
Powdered peanut butter is brilliant. I have had weight loss surgery and being able to add the peanut powder to give me extra protein without it taking up too much space in my belly is perfect. Tastes great.
Awesome video! There's a Costco about an hour and a half away from me but I'm going to make the trip! I've been looking for the perfect gray towels and those are it!
@13:00 mom has something similar to these in her fridge to store jars mainly ( condiments). I honestly don’t like them since I feel they waste some space. Although they look neater and easier to grab
Get the bike shorts....I live in mine when it's warm and during my workouts!! My thighs don't rub together and I stay cool. 😊
The fire roasted hatch chilis you walked by are amazing....
Caesar salad kit used to be 3.99, now 8.99!
Interesting how many things our Costco doesn't carry any more (can't get, they say...), your Costco still has. Importantly, the bag of peel garlic.... It makes the most gloriously sweet fermented garlic. A.Ma.Zing.
I got a Bosch last year. I love it.I will say I use it more for bread versus cakes
I took a clipboard and checked prices at Cosco, Winco and Walmart. Winco won hands down on prices that were lower...even though prices are going up everywhere:(
I don't have a Costco in my state. The closest Sam's club is a little over and hour drive away. Where I live your best option is to make it yourself
I love my bike shorts. With being a lady with junk in my trunk it’s hard to find a pair that doesnt ride up to daisy dukes. Bike shorts are long enough and comfy.
Yes to the wind chimes
I have not been able to find the kitchen scissors I had at one time. They were really good and came apart into two pieces so I could get them clean. I never have liked the ones that don’t come apart I don’t feel you can ever get them clean between the blades at the pivot.
i think rosemary extract in the mayonaise is used as a natural preservative
I waited until the refrigerator containers were at Aldi or on sale at different stores. I like them to keep my refrigerator organized; however, my family just stuffs whatever in them and ruins my organization system! Lol I hope your family is better trained than mine.
all our animals are grass-fed, I am from New Zealand :) I use to work as a dairy farmer :). Now I live in Louisiana and miss all my home foods
Where I live in central Victoria Australia. We have a local Begonia festival. They are absolutely beautiful flowers.
I bought that same chest freezer-maybe not same manufacturer but same in cubic feet and even the baskets-about 10 yrs ago for $200. 😲
The Costco Dill pickle salad is awesome. We put a piece of grilled salmon on it. It's delicious but you have to like dill. the croutons are usually all broken up but not a deal breaker
I'm so glad you like wine! I hope sometime you start doing wine pairings!
YES! BUY THE DRIED PEANUT BUTTER! I love it. Dip fruit & veggies in it. Reconstitute it. Make peanut sauces or dips, with alot less fat and amazing flavor.
They also have that pb powder at winco in the bulk section.
Love those bike shorts! Gonna get more next time I go in. Can't beat the price for the quality
Bosch is a workhorse! I have both mixer’s and Bosch is my go-to for breads and dough’s. You can freeze dry the garlic!
Great toothbrush advice! I’ve been wondering, thanks! So happy to see you having a great time!
My first video of yours and I really enjoyed it - thanks for sharing
Yes I use the fridge bins/organizers and it helps so so much! Worth the price for me.
The bike shorts are great! Affordable and so comfy.
I went to Costco March 1st. I was so excited for a shopping trip after pantry challenge. I need to go back and pick up a couple of things I was eyeing. Every time I go there some extra stuff ends up in my cart. That place is dangerous for my budget. lol
