    The Shark Pet Plus is the vaccum that I have and I LOVE it! Best vaccum I have ever owned. I had a Dyson and hated it.I don't dread vaccuming anymore. The Shark in your video is the exact vaccum that I have but mine cost a little more than $249.99...best money I have ever spent in my opinion. The Shark vaccum just made life easier.
    I bought some of those Contigo kids cups, they are meh. they sweat alot and the drinks don't stay cold.~ Lesson learned.
    "The fun colored glasses" I have LOVE THEM!! Bought a set last year, When Sam's gets them again & I hope they do I will be buying another set! I've dropped them and everything else and they are just as nice as the day I bought them. I wanna say I paid $24.99 for them tho at Sam's here where I live.
    I have wondered about the Cara Cara oranges, if they are sweet or if they taste like the blood oranges (they put me in the mind that I'm eating a red grapefruit~ not too thrilled with em myself), but I have wondered about the Cara Cara...
    With it being just me & my hubby we buy a couple of the premade meals at Sam's a week, for the price I can't go to the store and buy everything to make it any cheaper. Our favorite from Sam's is the chicken wings (you get 20 pre-cooked naked wings with 3 different sauces for about $19, we always buy 2, then I throw em the crock pot with some Sweet Baby Rays Honey BBQ sauce and make either homemade cole slaw or sweet potato fries in the air fryer to go with...
    Wow 2 sweatshirts for $19.99...I can see how you bought so many! I would have too...I normally pay eight at $40 a sweatshirt! Got lucky this year though caught them on sale for $29.90 each so I bought 3 (one of each color!)
    The jacket you tried on...I will tell you a secret...I bought 2...the light tan one (like you tried on) and the white & sage green one, they are so soft (but I wash them in dreft baby laundry soap~keeps them soft and they don't pill) and they were $14.99 at my Sam's...shhhhh don't tell the hubby...he says I have enough shirts to last 3 women! lol
    I hope you and your family have a Blessed Day...
    God Bless

    Hey Lauren, I love this video!😊
    To answer your question about any recipes for using Sundried tomatoes, how about a pasta recipe?
    You could use just about any of your favorite pasta with sauce, add the Sundried tomatoes, spinach, garlic, onion, olives, whatever.
    Have fun with it!🤗
    Add some Texas toast or garlic bread, a salad dinner is done!

    Such a fun adventure to Costco today. There is no better feeling when supplies get low, the REPLENISH!!! And a few new things to get motivated. I bet after being Sick, it takes a minute to get the Machine of Life , oiled back up and smoothly running. But looks like you are heading to that sweet spot.
    As usual Everett was a sweet treat, He is getting so big. Covid has stripped so many kids of experiences. I love that Everett shops with you. This socialization and sense of community is so good. Everett really has an idea what he likes and also everyone in the Family. He probably is already associating his classmates likes too. It is really expanding his knowledge of relationships. I love to use my Talent of cooking to connect with others. I would love for all your Boys to plan a meal and help cook. I know they already do this, but Something ultra special. I bet Weston could find some great Pickle recipes. Gary's Dad was a cook in the Navy, so he was the prime cook, Gary's Mom was the prep cook, it was fun watching them go at it.
    Nice score on the Albanese Gummies. I love them too. I think having a HUGE supply would be awesome. Whoever sent those is a Super Fan. So perfect!!
    Thanks for taking us along. Give Everett a huge hug from us

    Go check out Becky from acre homestead. She has taco seasoning among many others. You might find some great recipes and planning ideas too.
    Canada has shortages too. Some from crossing from states and some driver's protesting instead of delivering.
    Many are figuring out how to improve garden this year and canning what they need.
    Thanks for sharing. Some of your prices are still much lower than ours.

    When I was growing up in the 70s and 80’s frozen orange juice was all my grandmother used, she set it out for a little while so it would start to melt and would slide out of the canister easily. Yummy! 🍊🍊

    I make a sundried tomatoes in cream sauce pasta with chicken. You saute the dried tomatoes in a little olive oil and garlic. Then add chicken broth and add a cup of heavy cream at the end. You cook the chicken in the same pan and set aside then add when the sauce is done then add the cooked pasta.

    Taco seasoning recipe I found online...I make multiple batches at once and store in an airtight jar.
    2 TBSP chili powder
    1 tsp cumin
    1 tsp coriander
    1 tsp garlic salt
    1/2 tsp oregano
    cayenne pepper - to taste (start with 1/4 tsp)
    use 1/4 cup per pound of ground meat... add to 1 cup water...stir in with browned meat and simmer 5-10 minutes.
    We use it for tacos, fajitas, burritos, etc...any place you would use package taco seasoning. Hope you like it.

    Great video and Costco haul.Even though we live in Pennsylvania , about one hour outside of Philadelphia, our local Walmarts are low in some canned goods and eve boxes of black tea bags. I wonder though here maybe because a lot of people do online ordering the items are already bagged by the store employees for the online customers. Thanks for sharing. Be safe. By the way, i always buy cherry tomatoes. The flavor is so much better then regular store bought tomatoes.

    The truckers are affecting businesses too. My daughter and son-in-law work for Toyota in Kentucky and they can’t get parts in(from Canada). No parts no work

    Everett went out on a limb today keeping us well and truly entertained, that boy is the best. We are still having problems with item's being unavailable in the UK especially let food. It was a lovely shopping trip, and I love your new shirt/jacket it looks fantastic on. Take care of yourselves, sending love 💞

    I will always associate the "If You Give A..." books with Alaska. I was in first through third grade when we lived there, and we got those books read to us in school at Paul Banks Elementary in Homer. :)

      Mexican Lasagna (submitted by Steph Gillum)
      4 (10") flour tortillas
      1 (16 oz) can refried beans
      1 small can of green chilies
      1 1/2 lb ground beef
      1 pkg. taco seasoning
      1 c. chopped tomatoes ( you can use canned if you don't have fresh)
      8 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
      8 oz Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
      1 jar (8 oz ) salsa
      sour cream
      black olives
      In a 9X13 inch baking dish, layer 2 tortillas on the bottom. Top with 1/2 the refried beans and hamburger mixture, 1/2 tomatoes, 1/2 the salsa, and 1/2 both kinds of cheese. Layer on remaining tortillas and repeat toppings.
      Bake at 350 degrees for 20-45 minutes. Serve with sour cream and black olives.
      Thanks for watching!

    I love your shopping trips! Like Everett I try ALL the samples too. Our Costco here is out of several things too. Not enough truckers to go around. My Son-in-law works for Kroger warehouse and they are BEGGING for truck drivers! Not a good time for everyone.

    Been feeling slightly low today, but this video and Everett's sample hawl has made my day. Loved the slightly longer video, we too are also seeing a lot of things missing from our supermarkets. Fresh produce has shot up rapidly in price too, hope you manage to get what you need from walmart

    Everett is so adorable 🥰! He’s a good shopping companion. I guessed the total was $375; I came pretty close this time!
    Yes prices are going up! I noticed it today when I went shopping at Walmart. (Plus the gas prices; $3.19)

      Hello Kay! Yes, prices are going up. I think I need to do a price comparison video with 6 months apart. I am sure I buy a bunch of the same things and could compare!!
