    Hey Hamm Family. I love watching Everett and his charming smiles and giggles. Too cute. Luna is also a blessing to see. She reminds me of our Esther whom passed away 3yrs ago. Have a great trip to the cabin. May the boys' school year be fun and enlightening. They grow up so fast. Enjoy every moment.
    Alaska prices still give me a little bit of a heart attack, especially those from more remote areas. Thank you for sharing the price differences. We have a Sam's Club where we live in Virginia... well, when we go into Danville that is. I thought I'd share our current prices of the same or similar items you shared:
    Bread x2 loaves, we have a 12-Grain, $5.98
    Cheese x2pk, same item, $7.48
    Sugar, 25# bag, $17.68
    AP Flour, 25# bag, $12.98
    Olive Oil, 3L is $16.98; 2L is $11.28
    Bath Tissue Soft & Strong, 45 rolls, $21.78
    Diapers, closest is 192 count, $44.48
    Gas: $3.28 unleaded; $3.84 premium and $4.47 diesel
    Big difference and more my comfort zone. LoL.
    Have a great weekend and week ahead. Yah's Blessings ❤️

    Everett has really grown up this summer! I'll miss him on your future Costco hauls! Thanks for sharing Lauren!Awesome costume for Everett !

  • @marcellahicks3984
    @marcellahicks3984 Рік тому +4

    Boy, I hope "The Sample Man" comes to my door on Halloween. That is a perfect costume for Everett. So much fun.
    The Potato rack is super cool, I saw somewhere storing them flat in a drawer is a perfect way to store. I think they found an old wood dresser and poked holes in it and placed potatoes on flat crates. But for a small bounty that would be perfect.
    Everett is 5 now. His vocabulary and imagination has just soared this summer. He is really putting in his input. He is pretty wise. And he is becoming a great Actor.
    I loved the haul today. Thanks for taking us along.

    We went toCostco in Spokane while we’re on our holidays this summer. My husband was thrilled to see the poppyseed muffins we used to have them here in Canada and he misses them. We really enjoyed the coffee cake muffins to. Have you ever considered doing a video on what you would do in case of a major earthquake?

  • @katy4223
    @katy4223 Рік тому

    The water in the baby carrots comes from how they are cleaned and sorted and moved around, its done via a pressured water system so it ends up in the packaging. Have worked with shipping whole pallets of carrots and we always had giant bubbles in the shrink wrap full of carrot water.

I heard in the lower 48 the flour, sugar, and other baking products are going to go up up for this fall and winter! My mom and I have already started stocking up! It’s just me and my husband so I just add some money toward those things and then I just get what we need for the week or so!

    I'm with you. I'm so not ready Fall/Halloween & Christmas. Other people are already decorating for fall. It's still way too hot here in Florida. 🥵 Plus to be honest I'm really not into it. It's been a rough year. I had my first birthday without my Mom.
    The year has flown by!
    But holidays are fun when you have kids.
    Everett is so cute & funny. He's quite the celebrity there at Costco. I see food and I eat it! What a ham! No pun intended! 🤣
    He's going to be so missed once he starts school.
    How can people afford to purchase their groceries there? No wonder people travel to stock up on the mainland.

    Those meatballs are so yummy. I'd nuke a few of them and put them over a thing of ready made microwave sticky rice, then top it all with teriyaki sauce (Aloha brand was my favorite, it had pineapple juice in it to go with the pineapple in the meatballs). They were amazing for when I only had a microwave and mini fridge in Hawaii.

When u have a minute just look up what other channels are exposing. It's unbelievable. Idc if she has all those kids. I guarantee they don't eat half of it..
    Anyways I just love Everett..I mean all the boys are awesome and so well behaved. I love the Fall stuff. My favorite time of thr year! I need some good pillows too. I hate how they go flat lol ughhhh thats a great deal for batteries!
    I found a ton of snacks * Atkins Bars on sale at Amazon..not trying to do keto perse..just eat better. I'm working w a nutritionist now...so looking forward to re-watching your prev salad and food vlogs.Great video Lauren

    Have you ever had Scrapple? It's an East Coast thing that originally came from Pennsylvania Dutch aka Amish ppl. But here in Delaware we make 3 of them at the SAME plant 🤣 😂 Rapa is my FAVORITE!:Then Habbersett & Kirby & Holloway..al taste different..it comes in a brick & you slice it. I prefer mine thick. But you normally fry in a pan on each side..some deep fry it & it's delicious that way..its eaten w ketchup or a bit of syrup..great w a dippy egg..we eat ours w fried potatoes and scrambled eggs w cheese...so good! It's pork. I don't like beef scrapple as much. But look it up. Never tell the kids what it is lol. But I know you will love it!!! Also they do sell online if they don't sell it in Alaska..on the amish stores. You have to try it!
