I just love Jon's enthusiasm! When you say something and he goes, "OHHH!" Makes the taste tests so much better to have someone that is a foodie 😆 You guys are both such a vibe!
You and your husband are absolutely hilarious. I have never shared a UA-cam channel before and I sent it to all my friends. What a great time doing your taste tests!! Keep up the great work I am excited to be a new subscriber.
Oh my word this is the biggest compliment, thank you so very much! It means so much to us that you’d watch AND share us with your loved ones. Hope you have the best day! 🩷
Whoop! A Sunday night Cait video! The Disney Holiday set is 100% worth it if you're a collector. That'd be 3x more at the parks and it's something you can pass down to your kdis in the future, too. Worth the bag. 💰 Also, kudos on the King Arthur AP Flour. It's literally the Rolls Royce of flours. So. Good. 🙌 Thanks to you and John for brightening up my night and making my pocketbook tremble in fear. So much to try--so little time!🤪
I am Atlantic Beach but moved to Alaska in 2000 because of my health and to live with my Daughter. Glad I found you and look forward to watching your videos. Thank you and hope you and your family have a great New Year!!
Thank you so much! It's amazing you moved all the way to Alaska - what an adventure! I have always wanted to go there. We hope to actually do it in our RV someday! Happy New Year! 🩷
Hi Cait! I’ve been on the fence with the Motor City Pizza, 🍕 please let me know if it’s good or not. My Costco list just got a whole lot longer. 😂 Chocolate orange loaf, what!!?? Looks yummy. 😋 I really appreciate how you describe each item in detail when you’re taste-testing. Both you & John are so comical, fun & uplifting. Whenever I get notification 🔔 you’ve posted a video, I get the shakes & can’t click on it fast enough. 😂 You’re definitely a priority in this house. ❤❤❤❤
I'm sitting here at 130am, and your channel popped up in my feed. I enjoyed it very much. I'm still smiling. Subbed looking forward to watching older videos and the ones yet to come.
Boy I sure wish I was on your Christmas gift list, you were talking about making things for gifts and I’m sure that’s going to be wonderful! Such a fun video, thank you!
You two are THE absolute best, comedic gold every single time! The Aussie Costco is not the same, I feel like we get ripped off with not as many great treats - I shall continue to live through you 😂🙌🏻
Love, love, watching you guys! ❤❤❤ You guys crack me up, Jon's laugh reminds me of me laughing hysterically. 😂😂 Love your hauls. Happy holidays to you and your family.
Hi!! Growing up in southern Nevada we had pomegranate trees… and they aren’t my favorite eapecially chewing the seeds - however , melt choc chips stir pomegranates and top w sea salt and freeze to set !
I still buy the orange chocolate balls for Jen's stocking every Christmas. This year she asked for more than 1....lol. Can't believe Jon doesn't remember them.
terrys chocolate oranges (and orange chocolate as a whole) is superiorrrrrrr. they also do make a dark chocolate verison too if that's something you're interested in. hopefully you find them. great haul!
I love that you do these hauls cait I have a Costco right down the street I absolutely love to go whenever I can afford it but it’s definitely worth especially there sales and now I want to go get all those items you got 😂😂😂😂😫😫😫I used to get the everything bagel bites all the time so I definitely want to try the garlic ones
The Terry's milk chocolate orange is so nostalgic! Took me right back to my childhood Christmases. I feel the same way about the West Coast Costcos/IG accounts. They're giving me FOMO. What is it that you're not finding? I'll share in your misery. Would love to see a roundup of your favorite finds this year!
There was like a French cheese pastries set that I didn’t see! Also they had a chocolate sea salt caramel shortbread cookie? And someone told me to look for pierogies but I didn’t see any at mine. Oh and last but not least, a pizza croffle?? lol 😂 I’m glad I’m not alone in my FOMO!
@caitcoska I was looking for the savory French pastries too! They look so good! And the rest of those sound amazing too! But I was finally able to find the brie and berries phyllo pastries, and they're so good!
Hey there beautiful people. I think you have to make bruschetta with those croustini (sorry if I wrote it wrong), I think that would be so so good and that put some garlic butter first as a base yummie 😛! So interesting you said that orange loaf tasted like that alcoholic beverage gran marnier that is because it is made of the peel of an orange….that is why you tasted that bitter flavour in that loaf (I think)! Maybe a fun idea for a video is that you make your own version of your favorite desserts from the store….like John always says your version will be so so much better! And than send it to me to sample please 😊😂.
I just found your channel and enjoy your shopping hauls and taste tests with your husband. I'm curious who is corporate exactly? I noticed you mention giving feedback to corporate in a few of your videos. Looking forward to more content.
Thank you so much for being here! Corporate is actually something I just completely made up one day. 😂 Jon says that corporate is the viewers of the video, some have said I am corporate since I edit the videos. So no one really knows. 🤣
Yes it sure does which I mentioned in the video. We keep things balanced over here. I mostly just drink water but every so often, I’ll dip into something a little more fun haha. 😆 At this point, I don’t even trust most of the produce on the shelves so I just do my best! 🫶🏼
Motor City is the only pizza we buy now. If you see the motor city cheese bread at Costco…. Grab it! We Finally tried the orange chicken from Costco along with the veggie spring rolls,, delicious! Will definitely be repurchasing. Have you had the strawberry tres leche cake from Sam’s Bakery? We had it this evening & it is amazing!🤩
That all sounds so good! And no we haven’t but you know I’ll be looking for that during my next Sam’s trip now. That sounds like something we would LOVE. Thank you my friend! 🩷
Next time you're at Trader Joe's, pick some flowers up for yourself from John. Best prices, good size arrangements & if you put a pe ny in the vase water, they last so long.
The Cabot Seriously Sharp White Cheddar is DELICIOUS! I get it every time Aldi has it (they have it now). My nephew LOVES pomegranates. I do not care for them, because of exactly what John said, it feels like a seed. I love pomegranate flavor, but not eating them because of that.
The chicken burgers are my OBSESSION right now. I usually get a salad kit and then just cut them into strips right over my salad. So good and sooo much protein if you double up!
I looooove the vanilla bean paste!! Mine didn’t have any this past trip. 😭 I usually grab 3-4 of them this time of year so I have it for baking throughout the next year haha. 😆
Loving Jon’s shirt. Those are big peanuts. I’ll be getting me some of those. The chocolate with the orange is the bomb. But I haven’t seen it around lately. Let me know if you find them. I love dark chocolate, but I don’t care for sea salt. But I just might try this one. Ya are cracking me up so much. 😅 xoxoxo
I don't get the whole pomegranate craze of eating the pits. As a young girl my friend and i would sit under her big ol' pomegranate tree out in the country , crack that fruit open , chew the juice out and then spit the seeds out. The juice does make a delicious jelly!
Love your channel. I can't afford what you buy, lol! Do you have a grocery budget? From what you posted recently, you spent $1,600 for 2 weeks of groceries at Cosco, Sam's Club and Trader Joe's. Too rich for my blood. You do you! 👍
Thanks for the feedback! My hauls are generally delayed lol so I definitely haven’t spent $1600 in two weeks. But if I did, I’m sure that’s still much less than most people spend eating out several days a week with a family of 5! ☺️ As mentioned, all three of my last hauls featured Christmas gifts as well. I take money from each paycheck for our sinking funds for these wholesale club visits. The ones towards the end of the year always get more of a budget and for this Costco haul, I was under almost $200! I’d say on average, I try to stick to around $700-900 for wholesale clubs (but this includes our household goods like laundry detergent, TP, paper towels, etc) and then $200-300 for regular grocery stores. It’s important to remember so no one compares themselves to me and overspends 😅 that my entire channel is literally dedicated to recipes so as I have creativity sparks, I spend a little more to get ingredients to make those recipes happen. I hope this helps! I’m definitely not rich and incredibly budget mindful in other areas to make room for this freedom in groceries. ☺️
Totally know those chocolate Carmel candies. Also a customer brought my team a bag of those truffles and omg so good. Hugs friend Elissa modesto cali @elissa_tc
POM - They're the seeds from a pomegranate. It's the only thing you eat from a promeganate and what they make the juice from. "Costco plant" - lol !!
Ohhhhh such a fancy name they got 😂😆 couldn’t just go with seeds I guess
The motor city pizza is the bomb
Oh yay! Now I’m excited!!
I just love Jon's enthusiasm! When you say something and he goes, "OHHH!" Makes the taste tests so much better to have someone that is a foodie 😆 You guys are both such a vibe!
Everytime I edit the videos and he does that I chuckle to myself 😂
Oh, Dollar General and Walmart have the chocolate oranges. And I died when you said “I agree with myself” you crack me up!!!😂
😂😂😂 I almost edited it out and then I was like no they can handle my crazy at this point
You and your husband are absolutely hilarious. I have never shared a UA-cam channel before and I sent it to all my friends. What a great time doing your taste tests!! Keep up the great work I am excited to be a new subscriber.
Oh my word this is the biggest compliment, thank you so very much! It means so much to us that you’d watch AND share us with your loved ones. Hope you have the best day! 🩷

Thanks to you and John for brightening up my night and making my pocketbook tremble in fear. So much to try--so little time!🤪
You're totally right on the Disney set, it's such a great deal! I know my kids will probably fight over who gets it someday haha.
I am Atlantic Beach but moved to Alaska in 2000 because of my health and to live with my Daughter. Glad I found you and look forward to watching your videos. Thank you and hope you and your family have a great New Year!!
Thank you so much! It's amazing you moved all the way to Alaska - what an adventure! I have always wanted to go there. We hope to actually do it in our RV someday!
Happy New Year! 🩷
Orange🍊Chocolate wrapped in foil is also my favorite & TJ’s is selling it right now. I enjoy watching you both🎅🪅🎁
You’re giving me a reason to go to TJ’s yet again 😆

Haha you are the absolute best Kathy, thank you!! We’ve got the Motor City Pizza in the oven now! I’ll update you 😍
Chocolate oranges are awesome!
They really are! I need to get Jon one this year for his stocking haha
I'm sitting here at 130am, and your channel popped up in my feed. I enjoyed it very much. I'm still smiling. Subbed looking forward to watching older videos and the ones yet to come.
Ahh this means so much to us, thank you!! I hope you love the other videos and lots more to come for sure! 🩷
Boy I sure wish I was on your Christmas gift list, you were talking about making things for gifts and I’m sure that’s going to be wonderful! Such a fun video, thank you!
Thank you!! I had so much fun putting things together for people. It really feels selfish how fun it was for me hahaha
You two are THE absolute best, comedic gold every single time! The Aussie Costco is not the same, I feel like we get ripped off with not as many great treats - I shall continue to live through you 😂🙌🏻
Sometimes I see you guys’ selections come up on Instagram and I get jealous. 😂 Must be a grass is greener situation hahah
"I live my life 1/4 mile at a time" 😂, I'm definitely gonna use that!!
😂😆 it’s the only way to do life
Love, love, watching you guys! ❤❤❤
You guys crack me up, Jon's laugh reminds me of me laughing hysterically. 😂😂
Love your hauls.
Happy holidays to you and your family.
Hahaha his laugh cracks me up!! He’s the best.
I buy the Amlu's chicken patties and love them! Great haul tonight!
They’re sooo good!!
Hi!! Growing up in southern Nevada we had pomegranate trees… and they aren’t my favorite eapecially chewing the seeds - however , melt choc chips stir pomegranates and top w sea salt and freeze to set !
Ohhhh you had me at sea salt, that sounds so good!!
@ I have a new addiction! I got the fleur de sal from Trader Joe’s- I’m halfway through my jar! 🙈 I use it all the time
Love you guys. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Thank you Donna!! 🩷
Oh my gosh, you two crack me up!😂😂😂❤
Hahaha thank you!! We have no filter sometimes 😂
@ And I love it!❤️❤️❤️
I still buy the orange chocolate balls for Jen's stocking every Christmas. This year she asked for more than 1....lol. Can't believe Jon doesn't remember them.
I bet as soon as I get one, he’s going to remember! 😆 His memory is not the best LOL
Oh my gosh, you two are hilarious! Your taste test portions are gold! Love your channel!
Thank you so so much!!
You two are the bomb! Thank you for giving me a great laugh this evening! Bless you!
Thank you so much for being here!! 🩷

terrys chocolate oranges (and orange chocolate as a whole) is superiorrrrrrr. they also do make a dark chocolate verison too if that's something you're interested in. hopefully you find them. great haul!
I looooove dark chocolate so I will look for that version! Thank you!
You two are so much fun! I loved this and I don’t even have a Costco in my area.
Thank you! I used to watch haul videos for places I didn’t have too, sometimes it’s more fun that way! Haha
Everything bagel chip is AMAZING with Costcos spinach artichoke dip! Love you and your hubbys taste tests!
Okay THIS I could get behind. I LOVE spinach and artichoke dip!!
You two crack me up! 😅😅😅
Ya'll make my day everytime! And as always, loved this haul video!

I just love you two! You both make me very happy.
Thank you for the Costco review!

I love that you do these hauls cait I have a Costco right down the street I absolutely love to go whenever I can afford it but it’s definitely worth especially there sales and now I want to go get all those items you got 😂😂😂😂😫😫😫I used to get the everything bagel bites all the time so I definitely want to try the garlic ones
Yes the prices were good the past couple of trips!! It stings though when you get that total haha.
Love you two and the taste tests.
Thank you so much! We have a blast doing them!
Another great haul my Friend! 💕
You guys are going to enjoy the Motor City Pizzas! 😉
I can’t wait! It may be happening tonight haha
My daughter refers to the samples at Costco and Sam’s Club as store.derves! I’m new to your channel and love your energy and enthusiasm.
Hahahah I love that!!
And thank you so very much for being here and for your kind words! 🩷
Cait if you ever go to Walmart they have the chocolate oranges currently!
Ohh I don’t shop there much but there is one close to me if I don’t find it elsewhere! Thank you!
Y'all are so comical & I love it. My family also loves pomegranates. I buy the whole fruit & they pick the arials out.
I’m really enjoying them! I can’t believe I’ve never tried them before!
A joy to watch , thank you both.
That is so sweet, thank you!!
The Terry's milk chocolate orange is so nostalgic! Took me right back to my childhood Christmases.
I feel the same way about the West Coast Costcos/IG accounts. They're giving me FOMO. What is it that you're not finding? I'll share in your misery.

Hahaha I love that idea!! And I REALLY love the bruschetta idea 😍
I like putting those everything bagel chips in my Chex mix! And that Motor City pizza is amazing!
Ohhh that’s smart! I actually was thinking about making some Chex mix for Christmas gifts!
@ also, instead of regular pretzels, I use pretzel goldfish. The kids love that! 😘
In my opinion the garlic dip from tjs is phenomenal try it the next time you're there. I do like the noom brand too
I’m going to have to grab it next time for science purposes of course 😆
On the Orange chocolate cake, they probably used orange extract or orange flavoring instead of using orange juice and the zest.
Yesss and it’s giving that alcohol taste I bet!
I just found your channel and enjoy your shopping hauls and taste tests with your husband. I'm curious who is corporate exactly? I noticed you mention giving feedback to corporate in a few of your videos. Looking forward to more content.
Thank you so much for being here! Corporate is actually something I just completely made up one day. 😂 Jon says that corporate is the viewers of the video, some have said I am corporate since I edit the videos. So no one really knows. 🤣
The Terry's orange ball is delicious 😋
It’s truly one of my favorite things from christmases growing up haha 😅
It's probably a good thing that there is not a COSTCO close to me!!! I could not go unsupervised!!
Oh my gosh, I know! I used to have to send Jon in because he's good at sticking to the list but I've gotten a little better about it, haha.
Sparkling Ice has sucralose. If you don’t mind that chemical additive, all good.
Yes it sure does which I mentioned in the video. We keep things balanced over here. I mostly just drink water but every so often, I’ll dip into something a little more fun haha. 😆 At this point, I don’t even trust most of the produce on the shelves so I just do my best! 🫶🏼

Next time you're at Trader Joe's, pick some flowers up for yourself from John. Best prices, good size arrangements & if you put a pe ny in the vase water, they last so long.
I loooove their flowers! I love pairing the hydrangea up with other seasonal flowers they have. So pretty!
It would be good to toast it and then perhaps even put some orange marmalade on there if you didn’t want to do chocolate.
Ohhhhh THAT I would love. I love orange marmalade!! Thank you for that idea!
Yes, you are correct, West coast Costco’s get way more items than Florida.
I’m so jealous!! 😅
The Cabot Seriously Sharp White Cheddar is DELICIOUS! I get it every time Aldi has it (they have it now). My nephew LOVES pomegranates. I do not care for them, because of exactly what John said, it feels like a seed. I love pomegranate flavor, but not eating them because of that.
White cheddar is the best! And this Cabot brand is now up there with Tilamook for me which is top tier. 😆
Lov costcooo omg u like the chicken burgers???? I always wanna buy em and never do the pomegranate seeds r so goood
The chicken burgers are my OBSESSION right now. I usually get a salad kit and then just cut them into strips right over my salad. So good and sooo much protein if you double up!
Have you tried vanilla paste at Trader Joe's yummyi love the look very seasonal
I looooove the vanilla bean paste!! Mine didn’t have any this past trip. 😭 I usually grab 3-4 of them this time of year so I have it for baking throughout the next year haha. 😆
Costco had it
Motor city pizzas were they good.❤
We haven’t had a chance to try them yet! But I don’t feel like cooking tonight so it’s probably going to be on the menu haha
Ok please let me know I pass by it should I buy it. Go back and forth..
Shirt rank: 7! Ok the chocolate oranges are at the dollar general! Or trader Joe's has a version too.
Ohhhhh dollar general is so close to me I’ll have to check!! Thank you!
Loving Jon’s shirt.
Those are big peanuts. I’ll be getting me some of those.
The chocolate with the orange is the bomb. But I haven’t seen it around lately. Let me know if you find them.
I love dark chocolate, but I don’t care for sea salt. But I just might try this one.
Ya are cracking me up so much. 😅
xoxoxo
Thanks Connie!! I need to hunt for those oranges this week ahaha
We don't have Costco or Trader Joe's. 😢 Everything looked so good!
Oh my goodness! I wish you had either or both of them! 😅
@caitcoska at least we have Sam's. 😁
Poms are just pomegranate seeds.😂
They just had to be fancy with the “arils” word to throw me off! 😂🤣🤦🏻♀️
I don't get the whole pomegranate craze of eating the pits. As a young girl my friend and i would sit under her big ol' pomegranate tree out in the country , crack that fruit open , chew the juice out and then spit the seeds out. The juice does make a delicious jelly!
Oooh pomegranate jelly sounds good!!
