Amazing to see your Dubliner and Kerrygold buys in Costco! I live in West Cork, Ireland and I work in the Dubliner cheese factory 2 mins from our farm. My husbands cows supply the milk. We also drink our own milk and I followed your channel for the sourdough and food making gems. So it’s amazing to see you using Irish goods. It’s a Co-op owned factory meaning all the diary farmers that supply are the shareholders. They are very passionate about their dairy and cheese down here! We live in an old farmhouse so very little food storage. Everything in the US looks massive! Love your videos.
How exciting to hear from you...Thank you so much for sharing! I love learning this kind of info...
@catherinebiggs322 Thank you for sharing this info about Dubliner. I’m in Texas and have been buying Irish dairy products for a few years now because of its lack of chemicals and preservatives. Thank you for your dedication to wholesomeness! ❣️
This is so amazing, thank you for sharing! Love the Irish butter!
Wow, thank you for sharing that. We love Kerigold and Dubliner! Waving from Pennsylvania.
We love our KerryGold!
Will have to look for the cheese 😊
West Virginia, USA
Can I just say how fortunate U2 girls are to have each other as sisters friends and companions as you raise your families God bless you all
Agreed! I always wanted a sister for a friend!
@@kristynl4998 ,
amen to that!
Make your own brown sugar = organic sugar plus organic molasses, mix with your Kitchenaid (2 cups sugar to about 1-2 TAB molasses, make it the dark color you like). You can mix up just a small amount if you wish. You will never go back.
I do this too! Tastes so much better. The Kneady Homesteader recipe is 8 c sugar to 1 cup molasses if you want to make more at a time. Then she soaks a clay sugar bear in water & puts it on top of the sugar in the container. I put mine in a Tupperware container & don't need the clay sugar bear.
I find it hard to locate molasses ... I might have to order in line maybe 🤔
You could also half it with laura. That’s what I do with my azure order, buy in bulk and split with someone
Thank you so much I am going to do this is soon as I can!!
I just buy brown sugar, tried it n didn’t find it worth the hassle
So nice to have a sister as a friend❤
I lol’d at “we found the problematic one” 😂 about the coconut water
It's always a great idea to bring a cooler for frozen/cold items. The frozen fruit is amazing!
Lol my sister and I just went to Costco together today…except with all our kids 😅 so not as relaxing haha. Then we both went home and watched this. 😂
You need to do a shopping trip/haul with your sister again! This was fun.
I love these two amazing, creative, beautiful, strong sisters. Thank you for everything you are creating on this planet.
Just put some slices of bread in your brown sugar container...I never have issues.
You and your sisters excitement was fun to watch.
Fun video!! I am 4 hours away from a Costco...FYI: The Kirklands brand toilet paper is the best and a great price!! Sometimes they will limit you to only 1 package but it's a big package. Also, for the price they have great clothes!!! Thank you for taking us along. You will have to let us know how you like the various items you purchased. It was good to see your sister and baby as well!! Sisters are the best!!
My husband has worked for costco for almost 25 years and is now an executive with the company. Fun to see you all discover costco when it has been a GIGANTIC part of our lives for 30 years lol. On a side note (I don’t know if anyone said it here) but Costco’s Kirkland signature brand is often made by competing companies and Costco ensures that whatever is made for KS brand is the highest quality. That is why a lot of times you won’t find your favorite KS items in the store sometimes. They are most likely undergoing rebranding or the quality wasn’t as good and they need to find another manufacturer that will meet their high standards.
i shopped at Costco in CA but i live in Gainesville FL & we need one to edge out Sams.
The price is different depending on the original source. Take a cooler with you next time for the frozen goodies. Do a little research because sometimes the prices at Costco are higher than the grocery store. You two are like kids in a candy store!💕
YES YES YES, please keep doing these hauls! I love seeing how you guys determine what is healthy/ good or not! Please let us know about this metabolism diet too!
Put a slice of bread in the brown sugar if it gets hard. Overnight the bread will release its moister to make the sugar soft again. Remember to throw the bread away after it's done its job.
Priceless thanks 👍 🙏
if you wrap it up tightly and then put it in a ziplock bag tightly, it will stay fresh for a long time. I have had my Costco bag for over a year and it is always fresh like new. Much easier than the bread method, cuz if you forget about changing the bread it just gets hard anyway.
My grandma always put bread in her brown sugar, too!
This works so well!
Been doing this for years!
Nothing like shopping with a sister. I always end up getting more things with that sisterly influence. To keep my brown sugar from hardening, put a marshmallow in the bag or container if you decant it!!Yup!! It works. This was fun. We have a family of only 3, but a Costco run with a friend is like a field trip for me. Thanks for bringing us along!
To keep the brown sugar soft....put a slice of bread inside the brown sugar container. It will not mold. It will keep your brown sugar absolutely moist. Replace it with new slice every month.
As an Australian I've never heard of Aussie bites 🤣 with those ingredients. We do Anzac biscuits!
😅 I was thinking the same!
@KB-qo8kr could be protecting themselves from illegal use of the word ANZAC as you need permission.
I drive an hour to get to Costco each month. I bought two of their frozen foods bags and I've never had a problem with anything melting before I got it into the freezer back home. And it usually takes me 1.5 hours to get all the frozen foods from the store into my freezer.
If you buy bulk brown sugar. You can put a slice of bread in the container and it will draw the moisture from the sugar. Nice haul girls!
Love Costco so much. Live 5 mins away and can’t get enough. The Kirkland brand is 🙌🏻 🙌🏻 🙌🏻
Anything Kirkland signature has been good in our opinion- they even carried their own beer, wine and liquor in Washingto. I use their espresso beans as they're great!! Love Costco for some items.
This is such a cute video! Steel cut oats only take 20 minutes in the instant pot. We love them!
You could have split the brown sugar between the two homes. :)
I do it 10 minutes
But I soak it 24 hrs first
Exactly!!
I've never seen that in Spain.
I do 10 minutes with no soak! These ones at Costco :)
I just saw this and thank you so much. I do not live near a Costco , the closest is an hour drive and another is more than 2.
I also am home bound so can’t go. But seeing this makes me want to make a list for a friend! Haha
Costco is my “clubbin” in my 40s 🤣 I LOVE IT. The flour is cheap, dog food, toilet paper, etc. My recommendation is that costco has a rotation of sales every month and when something like kerrygold is on sale, i buy the max at $3 off each. So many things I buy In bulk when on sale. Also if you don’t like the taste of something, you can return it no questions asked.
If you get their credit card and do the executive membership, you get so much money back. Gas is 4% back. If you have executive membership, you get 2% back on everything (separate from the credit card). I could go on forever….rental cars, furniture etc. 😂😂
Yes! Stock up on the rotation sales. Learn how much you need. You will never pay the retail price.
How do you find out what things are on sale?
I really enjoyed watching this video of you ladies shopping! Your excitement is infectious!
so fun to thrift with friends!
You are hooked! So fun to see you both at Costco. I have been shopping at Costco since they migrated to the east coast, we have four children and for a family of six, had buy food on a budget. Well, many years have passed and all the children are grown, with families of their own and I still shop at Costco. So do they! The quality and prices can not be beat. So, you will soon make Costco one of your stops for supplies. By the way, really admire you, your show is terrific, really enjoy you and your whole family.
I have been a Costco shopper for at least 15 years. Great prices and products. It takes a little while to get the lay of the land but it is worth it, especially for organic products. ❤
I feel like I was just hanging out with you both, thanks for taking us along and being down to earth!!
Costco tip when buying frozen/refrigerated items get a couple of large bags for meat from the meat department. Then after checkout go to the beverage and fill up ice in the bags Costco doesn't mind
Kirkland is just Costco's brand, so it's always cheaper. The difference between Costco butter is where it comes from. Is a very tasty butter and just for $10? It's definitely a yes.
Love Costco . But order a lot from Azure. You made great choices for your first visit !
We live in the south and an hour away from big stores. We just keep a cooler and couple insulated bags in the back 😆.
Also, when you both want it but not that much, split it! My mom and I split stuff ALL the time!
The Kirkland brand of grass fed butter is actually better, and it’s cheaper. It’s 95% grass fed whereas Kerrygold is like 85% or something.
You will LOVE COSTCO!!
Costco sells bob’s red mill organic steel cut oats that cook quickly. Only seven minutes and they’re delicious. Plain of course.
That was so much fun watching you gals shop for the first time at Costco.
The steel cut oats are amazing, they cook less than regular steel cut oats like 5-7 minutes. My favorite
People say only big families could use Costco or Sams no I have no children and I use Costco‘s and I save a whole Lotta money because I don’t have to go to the grocery store every two weeks. Just get things in bulks 😃
Loved seeing you two together and your Costco shopping haul.
How cool to get to shop with your sister! Enjoyed this video, thank you.
For your brown sugar, get a little clay bear. You moisten it and it keeps the sugar moist in an airtight container.
What is a clay bear and where would you get it? My brown sugar always turns to a rock.
@@lilycardoso4679 I got mine off Amazon
I have a clay bear and I love it. Keeps brown sugar so soft but I recently heard you can put a big marshmallow in brown sugar and it stays soft.
I just put a heal of bread inside and it keeps the brown sugar from getting hard.
Love Costco!!! Would never watch a video on any other shopping only Costco. You'll be back!
Remember if for any reason you don't like it...take it back!!
Vacuum packing is the best thing when I buy bulk at Costco or Sam’s etc., especially for things like the brown sugar! 😊
so you don't have problems with the brown sugar getting hard? I know that you are not supposed to use oxygen absorbers or it will get rock hard. Just curious. Have you vacuum sealed and kept for quite a time? I store my 2 pound bags in buckets and have not had any problems with it
FYI, you cannot depend on the color of the butter anymore. the additive to make cheddar cheese orange is sometimes added to butter so it is more yellow, which makes you think it is better for you. You can use avocado oil for any recipe that calls for vegetable oil since it is a neutral/flavorless oil.
I agree, when my sister was little girl she used to love store bought butter over homemade ones. My mother used to add little salt and food colouring and pack in container, and she happily ate them 😅 for whole 8 years she didn't know she was eating this.
All I wanted to say is, they do add something in it which makes it tastier and appealing
It also depends on time of year
Never add artificial color to any home made item, it defeats the purpose.
I don't know how it is in the US, but here in Spain on that orange cheddar the natural color is listed in the ingredients. That would be same with butter. But i've never seen in my entire life butter with food coloring in it.
I just got a Costco membership and I love it! I actually made a list of all organic products they carry from dairy, produce, meat, frozen fruit, etc.. and then I broke down the pricing to compare to other stores (like Trader Joe’s - which I love for their seasonal goods!) and it doesn’t compare - you will save so much money. 😊

I am sharing this with my husband, because basically identical to me walking through Costco. 😂 maybe it will convince him that I’m not as much of a weirdo as he thinks. 💙🤣💙 just last night he asked me how he was suppose to make chocolate milk from scratch, when I said the exact recipe y’all said….he raised his eyebrow. 💙🤣💙🤣💙 thanks for sharing!
Welcome to the wonderful world of Costco and KIRKLAND products! You have also been warned, the sticker shock at the till is REAL. BUT, you stock up and your regular shopping becomes a little easier.
Might be a good idea to buy together and split when you can. 😊
I can tell you all are very frugal and used to making so many things yourselves. You all seem to be taking yourselves and one another into every purchase lol
Love this video! So fun! I just put a piece of white bread in my brown sugar and it keeps it soft! Also, any cookies that get hard, do the same thing!
I do that too! :)
Avocado oil is best for roasting veggies as it takes high heat best
Literally loved this! You guys are the best
You could get raw cane sugar and molasses, and just make your own brown sugar as needed
Lisa, put a piece or 2 of 🍞🍞🍞 bread in the brown sugar, it will keep it from getting hard. I bought a big bag like that in March, and it is still nice and soft!!!!
Watched you looking at the beef jerky and beef sticks. You have a wonderful dehydrator. You could so easily make your own. Slice a piece of meat paper thin and dry. You guys are fun to watch. Have a great day.
I think they do some many homemade/natural things from scratch, some things are easier just to buy sometimes.
Good morning! I buy the hemp hearts and chia seeds there! Also baby wipes ❤️ I also love to get Parmesan cheese and their frozen blueberries are a great price. Their rotisserie chickens are cheap (4.99 yesterday!!) The guacamole cups are to die for too when you need a quick snack for kids
I only use avocado oil. I buy a little more expensive brand and get the glass containers and when I run out, I get them in the plastic containers and pour them into the glass containers I saved.
The best way to cook oats is to soak them, and then cook them. The coconut oil is awesome! Everything you girls got were great items. as you can tell, I love this place! lol😄
I like the organic sprouted oats at our Costco, but I didn't see them at this one.
I don't live close to a Costco either but I always have an ice chest in my car for those trips.
Here's a useful tip! When you have a long drive home and you need frozen foods of any kind, either take a cooler with you and buy bags of ice while there to pack the frozen foods in the coolers, OR if you have enough money to spare and you forgot to bring your cooler with you, buy one there at the store and a bag of ice and absolutely be sure that the frozen foods you bought there is the very last item you grab on your way to the check out lane. So that way you can immediately put the frozen foods in with the ice in the cooler there before you continue checking out the rest of your products.
Add a piece of broken clay pottery to the brown sugar. Soak it in water first, wipe off and it will keep the brown sugar soft forever!
I was shouting at the screen, pack straight into the car because you have to lift those boxes!!! Looks like it was a fun haul.
I used to shop Costco, but I have not been in a while. You’ve inspired me to go this week.☺️👏🏻
I love that you’re convincing each other in and out of purchasing items 😂 also that you’re mentioning that things are packaged in plastic, reading ingredients, making sure things are organic. That’s exactly where my brain is when shopping too!
I used to buy kerrygold until I learned its somethibg like 75% grass fed.
Truly brand is 85% I think
And the Kirkland you had in your hand here said 95%! Woohoo bestone
See if your Costco carries Coaches Oats. It’s delicious, steel cut and cooks in 5 minutes.
You can make homemade brown sugar. It’s easy… Also you can get a terracotta stone soak it in warm for 10 minutes and put it into a container and it keeps it soft.
I would love to go shopping at Costco with my sister - it would be a blast
I recently got a Costco membership and every store that is around me is just far enough away to be annoying. Sometimes my husband and I will go when we drop off our kids at their mid week church activities. We bring a cooler with ice packs cause we know we won't be home for a while. That's my tip for you. Bring a cooler. Happy shopping!
Really enjoyed watching this! I wish I had a sister that was on the same "page" as me. You're both so fortunate to have each other!
I know it’s a year later but keeping brown sugar in a large Rubbermaid container helps it stay fresher longer, and it it dries just throw in a slice of fresh bread. The brown sugar will absorb the moister from bread and the brown sugar softens like it’s fresh again!
I use avocado oil and coconut oil also. Avocados oil has a higher cooking temp than olive oil, and I like the flavor better. Enjoyed going along on your shopping trip!
Why is Costco so much fun? Lol. And I’m like you guys, going for the staples and not so much the snacks and non-food items. Thanks for taking us along. Really enjoyed it!
Wow you have so many more organic choices than we do here in Quebec, Canada, lucky you!
We bought a freezer bag $9 from Costco and use it all the time. It helps a lot as Costco is a hours drive for us.
Just a simple trick to hardened brown sugar…..put a crust of bread in the container with it….keeps it moist
Love shopping with my sister, we talk each other in to and out of buying and we each try new things!
To keep brown sugar from hardening this is what I do. I put it in a glass jar and put a piece of bread on top. Stays soft and perfect to use 😊
Kerry Gold butter and cheese are amazing
Pumpkin great deal
Can’t wait for Costco to open here! Great haul ladies!
Brown sugar, hint! No matter what container or Ziploc bag you put brown sugar in always add a slice of white bread. It keeps the brown sugar from hardening, and it never molds. 😂❤
You need to carry a cooler with you with frozen ice packs in it when you go to Costco
We don't have a Costco, it was fun watching you shop. You two look very much alike.
Vegan Prepper has a video all about tomato paste and has me considering a Costco membership just for that lol. Thanks for sharing your finds
I’m wanting to say,” yes it’s a good deal” to everything you’re wondering about. Costco is a win for all the things in your cart.
You should make your own brown sugar! It taste better than store bought
This was a fun video 💝 loved seeing you girls out and about shopping and talking. 💝
Hahaha this was great! My sister and I always go to Costco together and the conversation was like ours…lol. Thanks for this!
I enjoyed this video. My sister and I do a lot of shopping and talking together about foods we like.
Avacado oil half that size is now $19.98 at Walmart…that’s a really good price. Read the label on the Cape Cod chips. We recently discovered the BBQ flavor contains Bioengineered food ingredients.
You guys are so entertaining! Feels like shopping with friends! Thanks for sharing!!
I wish our Costco would bring back “ farmers we know” organic rolled oats. I’m out and they haven’t had it for months
Me too!
We love Costco's selection
The Irish butter went up $3 since last year, i see. I tried the Kirkland brand, and it sparked when put in the microwave. Freaked me out, lol.
Those steel cut oats are “instant” so they cook in 7min and are delicious!!! And that avocado oil is one of the brands that was not adulterated in a recent study 🎉
I always keep an eye out for organic corn tortillas and organic pita pockets. No one sells them. Thanks, ladies. This was fun. Wish I had a Costco near me!
Love seeing you two together. So cute!
