Today I went to Costco wholesale one of the biggest grocery stores where you have to have a membership to shop. I went to the grocery store in Venice California. I show you some of the best deals you can get in groceries electronics furniture, meat, and seafood, and many other things. You can find some awesome deals. - Розваги
I lost it when he scratched his back with a toilet scrubber LOL. I love the GIV
Pope-yes, chicken and biscuits!
18:23 I lost it when he said I think its a massage stick or something, LOL 🤣🤣🤣
Who would’ve thought I would be entertained by watching someone shopping 🛒 at Costco 😂. Great content GIV
Same lol😂
Get at least one pair of Kirkland jeans.
Agreed 100%, wat a sweet guy, women should be breaking down his door trying to marry him! A great attitude and never uses bad language.❤
@@Mr.Howell78k From my experience most chicks dont like nice guys.
It’s amazing how you can take a mundane location and make it entertaining! It’s great. Keep it up! 👍👏
True Story: We went to Costco a long time ago and this real BIG lady was lingering around the entrance while my Dad was on the phone, When we finally went inside my Dad pulled out his membership card (while still on his phone) to show the people at the door and that lady and her sister followed closely behind and said to the doorman "He's my husband!". LMAO! if she only knew that they ask for the card at the checkout...
😂👍
She was going in for the free samples and hot dogs.
@@Nonduality LMAO! You know! That's EXCATLY where we saw her...HAHAA!!
Someone like myself who has spent a lot of time around Germans....can't stop smiling through all of your videos, I love the dryyyy humor !!!! " The Chicken gotta die for $6.99 "
$4.99 😂😂
Germans...dry humour🤔
@@Hysteriafish828 this Krefelder aka GIV should know a bit more about what is healthy to eat or drink - you should avoid any type of soda even if it is a diet soda-- the body does not distinguish between sugar and diet sugar - they also cause cancer - carbs are ok - dont restrict - I remember my German relatives eating bread topped with leber wurst and drink tea for dinner - it was yummy - stay away from alcohol- totally bad for body and mind
Even as a vegetarian I laughed at this 😂😅😅
@@Mike_Sierra_2711 I have been and still am a participant in a national study/research for the prevention of diabetes (for over 20 years) - I was chosen to be in the study because of my high risk for diabetes - I never converted to diabetes because of following some basic rules like not drinking soda or diet soda or drinking alcohol - having diabetes like GIV has is no joke - I am only trying to help the guy - I dont think it is funny
It seems like I have been to Costco a thousand times but it was very enjoyably taking the trip with GIV. Plus, I didn't have to wait in checkout.
They mark your receipt so you don't come back in and get more items using the same receipt without paying. Also, when they look at the receipt, they are not looking at the individual items, they look at the total quantity on the receipt and see if it looks like it matches the items in your cart.
Never knew that 👍
Yeah I worked at Costco for awhile. We would look at higher priced items too and the bottom of the cart. No way you're checking everything. I think it's somewhat for show too
I have seen the lady in front of me, have to go back and pay for items she had in her cart that we’re not on the receipt.
You should ask to get a free yearly membership because of the free advertising you are giving them.
I can never get out of Costco for less than $200.00.
Not surprised about 200 dollar bill, Costco is bulk buying and not necessarily cheaper. And you pay membership for the privilege.🥴
In Canada, the hot dogs at Costco are 1.50 Canadian, which equals $1.12 U.S. Same big hot dog with toppings and includes soda pop. $1.12!
I used to drive a trash truck. One time at the landfill all the landfill employees were gone from their places.
I said where is everybody? They were on the radio running to see what was being dumped out of a COSTCO compactor
I had signed a contract not allowing scavenging, but I could see new lawn mowers, fishing tackle, camping gear all new, some still in the packaging I could not take anything
That’s a bummer
Waste like that is a sin...
Just take it no one will know
Probably returns.
That is ashame, professional conduct.👍
I enjoyed it. I sat at Costco, eating my dog and pizza and Pepsi, watching your show while I wait for my wife in line.
Hey German in Venice! Love your videos and your good vibes. I work a block up the street from costco at Yo San University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Come on in for a free acupuncture/herbal medicine treatment in our clinic! And if you're feeling it, make a video about it! Thanks dude.
See you at the beach!
The receipt check is a shoplifting deterrent as I was told. They’re quickly checking for big items in the cart is on the receipt as well as number of items looks same as receipt. It also means you can’t reuse a checked off receipt to steal.
One time I bought gift cards. They ring them up and you are supposed to go pick up the actual gift cards at a special door. The receipt checker caught that I had forgotten to go pick them up. So, sometimes it is to help the member.
Also to make sure everything has been rung up. One time, the cashier and the receipt checker missed the big thing of napkins under my cart. Free napkins for me! I would have gone back but it was late and I was really tired by the time I got home and noticed.
Shopping made fun .Love your videos🙂
I’m new here and you make me laugh. Thank you. I’m the same as you, I haven’t had sugar for 6 months now and no bread either. I’m diabetic. I haven’t been to Costco since my daughter passed away. From Australia 🇦🇺 I’m having a great time shopping with you. You have helped me today. .
I love how GIV's parents taught you not to put your shoes on the couch. Now you see kids acting out, trashing things, destroying items for sale, and screaming in the store. America is in real trouble because we don't teach and expect proper behaviors.
Wow! You're easily impressed. Most people's parents don't want shoes on the couch. And in much of Asia, you leave your shoes at the door!
It's the same here in the UK. Dreadful.
@GodLovesComics most American parents don’t seem to care and don’t know how to discipline properly, which is why there are so many annoying kids in stores.
@@mrsjackbauer1 That's why I'm pro-choice!
@@stuartmenziesfarrant that jeep dealer for the hot dog is called a loss leader, and brings you in and you buy other things
Counting items in your cart against items on your receipt. Always fun 👍🏻
not counting, that'd be impossible. they are looking for high end items and marking up your receipt so you can't use it to steal.
Your COSTCO in America looks exactly the same as the one here in Ringwood, Melbourne, the same layout, products, everything. The weirdest thing I've ever seen for sale in COSTCO is a coffin, hey, but each to his own I guess. Your takeaway food is heaps cheaper and we don't get refills on the drinks. Our Membership is $AU65.
👍 MIKE I shopped at Costco‘s in 41 of the 50 states in the United States and I will tell you in my opinion it is by far the most popular place to shop for just about everything that you need for your car your home yourself it’s just fantastic and every COSTCO is different as far as supplies so they’re not all 100% the same… Phenomenal video keep doing what you’re doing. I love the channel and most important is that you have a very good attitude and you treat people with respect and it’s fun fun fun when you see how it’s done, I call you the multicultural intercultural and cross cultural genius you get along with everybody and that’s a quality that’s very rare🇺🇸🙏⭐️🌎
I love this channel. It really makes me feel great watching the show. I'm glad they've cleaned up Venice Beach for your business. Keep it up.
Mike you should be very careful with those "no sugar" items, the sugar is replaced with artificial sweeteners and they are really toxic. for your health sake please check it out, also you are right avocado is one of the most healthiest things for you to eat, unless you have kidney problems, and kidney problems go hand in hand with diabetes and excessive weight - avocado's are high in potassium and that can be seriously bad for kidney function - love your video's and take care mate - Carl
As soon as I see your smile, I smile!
Hey Mike, that's my girlfriend's local Costco. She puts me on video when she's going round the store.
Hope to be back over with her soon. Until then you keep me up to date with all the happenings stateside.
God bless you man.
This was a fun one to watch.
Get you a laundry basket to put by your front door for your laundry.
Costco and Ross should sponsor you.
I've been eating once a day for 2 months today. I was at 215 pounds. I've lost 13 pounds, my goal is 170-175. I'm 76 so this will be a life long habit. It's been pretty easy so far.
Do you eat any little snacks in between? Also, what do you normally drink? I'm curious about this diet.
@@greenie75 I drink water, and at night a V8 juice. No snacks. But I eat as much, and what I want for my one meal. Hey, even if you lose one pound a week, that's 52 pounds in one year. Pretty cool huh?
Costco never fails to have kids that sound like they are getting tortured. 😂
I love Costco because I'm single ,,,, everyone there looks like they want to die
Thanks loved it
I think you can find those kids in any store. I don’t shop at Costco but even at the regular grocery store where I live you can find that one noisy kid!
😂😂😂
Sounds like a horror movie!
The new term I'm learning is "Vibe. Your vibe is so positive. That's one reason I like your show. I like your winkles! I liked the video about Costco because I moved to a small town and have only a Walmart. I love Walmart, but it's nice to see Costco. Thank you!
The lady was so sweet, she reminded me of your Mom in Germany…
Appreciate the Polish lady's shoutout to Chicago. Chicago has the largest Polish population outside of Warsaw, so yes, we know how to make a mean Polish sausage.
The short food line could be because they now want to see your membership card before you purchase food. Prior to that the food court was open to anyone.
@@OWEN-CASH It was that way for years here as well. But no longer.
Yeah i wasn't a member but I use to get the hot dog all the time lol, it's weird cuz I don't eat hot dogs but once in a while I would get a craving for Costco hot dog with onions
@@TheHiphopgemsCostco no longer supplies onions and brown mustard for the hot dogs. At least in Southern CA.
Love your walk and talks. You make me laugh.
I love these more personal style videos. ❤ I also like your late night drives around the city. Have a great night, Mike.
I just went to Costco in my area last week. It is always busy. I also have a Jetson electric bicycle. I got it for $200 refurbished and it is almost brand new. Thanks for the video. Love your vlogs
GIV, thank you for showing this. I used to shop at Costco when I was working but not anymore as bulk load shopping is not for me when I did early retirement. Costco does have great deals for families. As always love your on location videos, you rock!!!😊
Its always fun to watch you and i never get borred.Thank you!😘😘❤❤💕💐🌈
Love shopping there thanks for the video
Mike - did you know we have Costco in the UK? The layout of the store is exactly the same as the US and they sell the same pizza, chicken bake, hotdog and ice cream. It’s really crazy but one big difference….membership is cheaper than the US!
Same in Mexico. Membership is half the price and can be used in all locations and online.
Liebe Grüße aus der Pfalz. Wir feiern dein Costco Shop with me.
Vielleicht sehen wir uns nächsten Monat, wenn’s für uns nach Venice geht 🎉
The hotdog 🌭 thing would be a great conversation memorabilia for the GIV there in wonderful Venice Beach, 🏖️ home of the GIV and beautiful women!
Take us to Universal Studios.
Costco makes all their profits from selling memberships. They make very little profit off their food items. That is how the company was set up, following the teachings of Mr. Price of Price club who the owner of Costco used to work for do in San Diego years ago
We Love Costco. When they built one near us we joined instantly. It took no time to be packed 24/7 during operating hours. Crazy good. We always enjoy shopping and just hanging out with The GIV.
GIV, have a great weekend!
"The chicken has to die for 4.99"- comedy gold from the GIV.
Mike your shopping videos are both entertaining and informative. Love em.
I heard Costco doesn't make much of a profit on their products but instead it's from membership subscriptions.
Makes perfect sense😂
100$/year? That's crazy.
Here in Germany the wholesale stores are for free. You only need to have a business license, and then you can get a free entrance card for the store.
I have cards for two stores, but I don't even have a business license... my mother has, and so I can buy stuff for her, or for me😉
Two comments.......
1) you can tell the ripe melon by the stem ....
If it’s green it was picked too early and will not be as sweet....
tan or light brown melons were picked ripe...
2) Costco have great margins of profit because they buy in massive bulk volume themselves ...
The word wholesale is the bait and then you must pay for a membership which is pure profit.
Solid content GIV
Support small business peeps....
Venice locals ...

The price you said for sauerkraut was wrong. Sauerkraut is very inexpensive. I had a membership and found we bought stuff we really didn't need(food items). And we ate too much. Don't have membership anymore...😊 I'm happier without it.😊
“How does it feel to ride in a sausage”. I think those girls might have thought you said “on” a sausage. I laughed so hard. This entire video is one of the funniest vids ever. “Ninety nine”!
I got a good laugh at that too!! 🤣🤣
Mike, just so you know, there is a BIG difference in quality between the reading glasses at .99¢ store and the $15-$30 readers at Costco or a CVS. The 99¢ glasses are really bad for your eyes! Please don't use those cheap glasses.
We ❤ GIV. Tell your mom we said Hi!👋
It would be best to get an eye exam and proper prescription from a licensed eye doctor, especially since store bought glasses do not include an Rx for astigmatism if you need it.
@@LindaCarol-ig2riyea
I’m an ole granny and I just LOVE WATCHING YOU! ❤
Costco refused to raise their hot dog price or their membership fees. Costco is a solid company. Really nice that you ran into a fan.
Haha nice to meet a babcia in costco! I'm predominantly Polish american and I always hear how chicago has a lot of good Polish foods...sometime I have to visit. BTW! GIV you should do a vlog of daiso japan! It's a japanese 99 cent store chain in LA and you can find some really amazing quality stuff in there. I also reccomend doing one for tokyo central the one in torrance is really cool...i think people would find it interesting and it would make a good vlog because these Japanese stores are local to the area. I also reccomend going to round 1 at the puente hills mall...lots of unqiue claw machines and game machines from japan and i just think all this stuff would be interesting.
Mike there is a Costco 5 minutes from my house. I’ve been debating about joining. I think you just talked me into joining. Ours isn’t as nice as yours. We don’t have an outside food court. The meat and fish is better and cheaper at Costco. You missed a great opportunity. You should have asked the wiener mobile for an interview. I would have loved to see the inside
Loving these blogs, Mike. I think I've never watched so many of your videos back-to-back until you started pumping out these many blogs. Keep them coming!
I enjoy all your videos. There is no such thing as a bad video with you. Keep up the good work we all truly appreciate you.
Thanks for showing the video of Costco. I’m gonna go buy me a membership today. I didn’t know how cool it was in there. Thanks. 😊
G.I.V 😎🇺🇸
Sams is the same and prices are cheaper...they have a 25.00 membership deal now. Costco is 60.00
Sam’s Discount Club like Costco said they make most of their profit from selling the memberships and that is why they can discount prices on merchandise. Happy early birthday Mike’s Mom 👍😎
It's 25.00 right now...a deal is going on
We appreciate you posting a video each day. Great time when we went to Germany with you & we had a great time with you shopping in Costco 🥰
Absolutely Costco should pay you, you did a great detailed advertising commercial, it was a very enjoyable and entertaining also and educational.
Is there a zoo in LA.
Can you show us how it looks like in los Angeles Mike?
I also think of cruiseschips in los Angeles. 😂
I can’t believe it. After work I went to Costco and I turned my daily video of the GIV and whaaaaat😮 !!!! the GIV was at Costco too . oh !!!!my Costco had chicken 😂😂😂sorry 😉hey! You forgot the gas at Costco $ 4.99 per gallon 👌👍
Thank you for sharing I love going there they have good deals 😊
what you need is a ventless dryer and washer stacked, nice video!
I lived in Taiwan, and they also have a Costco. Once I got into skinny jeans there. I had like 5 pairs of levis but they hadn't figured out the product design and all the pants were developing holes in the crotch. They were 511s, not 501s. I was super broke and I returned all the jeans as defective . I felt guilty because I didn't even wash them, just got my money back. Also be thankful I don't wear skinny jeans anymore.
6:11 who's throwing a FIT in the background. Dang, somebody took that kids ice cream. Lol
Always fun hanging out with you!!
Thanks for reminding me that I STILL need to get a Costco membership. When I bought a new house a couple of years ago my mom said, we've got to go to Costco and get you a membership, but I put it off. Now I see videos of people talking about how great the food is at CostCo and of course how much cheaper it is to buy paper towels and other household stuff in bulk. Gotta join...if only UA-cam didn't reject my application to monetize :(
That was fun hanging out at Costco and the GIV!!!!!!°°
Love the EVERYDAY videos!! Keep up the GREAT work!! Love it!! Thanks!😍
Costco is always an experience & the deals are awesome 👌 ..Love the $4.99 Chicken 😋
The German in Costco.
The G.I.C
German in Venice, rocks. All your videos are fun to watch.
I laughed out loud at you massaging your back with that toilet brush. Thank you for that. The whole video was good.
I had the pleasure of meeting the GIV today at Venice Beach! He took the time to talk to me and my son.. He is truly a genuine and all around great person! Cheers from the Great Sate of Texas!!
His an asshole
10.25% California sales tax!
In Germany its 19%.....
@@davidhadden-ii5hs In NL it's 21% and it's still better shopping.
GIV, your commentary makes anything you do interesting.
I love these shopping videos. Thank you.
Can’t believe people have to go to a laundromat in USA, and $1800 for a washer and dryer 😮
The Homeless and in GIV case l am assuming he doesn't have the capacity in his property to accommodate these appliances 😙
Germany is stupid..they could import their Washers to the USA..if adapt them to 110V..they very good and cost just 399€ unless you buy a Miele Washer..the best.🤔🇩🇪🇺🇸
I bought a big beautiful GE washer at Home Depot for under 700.00 it's great and does HUGE BLANKETS
I only can do a left handed Vulcan thing. Costco cooked chickens? Yum.
Here’s a thing you would def want to ask a doctor first. This is what I read. I remember it because I’ve done it since I started cooking for myself and food has to last. I freeze sourdough bread and take a piece or two out and toast it. I don’t eat a lot of it but it stays fresh. Anyway, if you do sourdough that way it turns to a resistant starch.
Saw that research, too. I’m diabetic so I checked it out because sometimes I just want a sandwich! So far those results are holding up,. Had a whole grain pita w/ sausage & veggies sandwich today, from my freezer to the grill to me, half the carbs, yay! Restrictions & allowances are constantly changing, so much research now that it’s a worldwide problem!
Great blog today love it .. yes well done GIV 🎉 ... Yes please continue your daily blogs thanks Mike 👍❤️✌️
This was fun ☺️ please do more shopping vids! 💜👍
I understand California rent is insane, but all the things GIV is looking for he needs a bigger Apartment, lol :)
I need a house
If you want to save money and move away from California!! You can visit it anytime just like Germany!
Thanks for the shopping video, GiV! It was great to pick up groceries with you. Keep the videos coming :)
German in Costco! Yes! The video we didn't know we needed! ❤❤❤😊
In Florida, our food courts are inside. Pretty interesting to see Costco's in California to have theirs outside.
Better weather in ca
Yup. Too damn hot outside.
Actually the Costco in Altamonte Springs in Florida the food court is inside
I meant outside
depends on the city they arn't all outside
Met this dude in person today - hes a genuine human
You need that European sized washer/dryer
I had a blast following you around Costco. Don't have one in my town. We have Sam's. Costco looks better. Thanks for dragging us along. Enjoyed!!
Perfect, they are building a Costco in the area I live in, so this is a great preview of what to expect 👍
Hey, what happen to the food samples? Did they stop that in Cali? They still have them here in Arizona.
They have them here in Louisiana
He's diabetic, he can't eat jack sh**
Food samples are available a couple of days each week
Yes, they still have samples in CA.
Oh okay, thank you@@ladweeb1798
7 Tyson companies closed , chicken shortage 😢
Plus those roasted chickens that are not available....it's because people got sick...just happened
@@lisalee2885 🤢🤮 yuck.
GIV, you are hilarious!! Doesn’t matter where you take us, you always make it interesting and fun! Wow, the Weinermobile . . . that is nostalgic. 🌭
I always feels good when i watch you. Always positive and happy
GIV do they not have self checkouts in California everyone I have been to has them. Also has a set 15% profit markup which pays for lights and Salaries Etc. And they make their profit from the membership fees
The two costcos near me in CA do have self checkout, I was surprised his didn’t…
Mike, you are adorable! I've been watching and have been a fan of yours for a couple years now. I'm so happy you are getting the following you deserve. You have the best channel on UA-cam. Keep it up, und vielen dank fur alle!
Happy to see you!!!
Thanks for the Price update🤘Nice video! I like when you go to Stores because you can be Funny at times🙏✌👍
Absolutely love everything you do GIV!!
You are awesome! I smile & laugh all the way through your videos. Thank you for making my day. 💟
