Once your kids are older, these stores will be a life saver. I have two teen boys and they eat more than anything I have seen in my life.
They have bottomless pits for stomachs I think! lol
Yup that's what I was going to say. One of those big boxes of cereal gets used up in 2 sittings in our house. 5 children ages 6-16
Yes! My oldest is only 12 but she eats so much, especially after track or cross country practice! Growing and active kids need so much food (and my girls are tiny sticks 😂).
I agree! I have a 14 and 17 year old. And they eat like bodybuilders lol
We love sams! Those cookie sheets have all I have been using for the last 15 years of our marriage! We also love thier brand paper towels btw!
The best thing about Sam's is their scan and go feature. Such a time saver.
Couldn’t agree with you more love the scan and go!
I absolutely love the scan and go!
Homemade lunchables with the Ritz Crackers, perfect for your picnic days.
Love having my husband with me shopping too!! I've never spent more because he's with me! I've never understood all my friends saying they don't like their husband with them while shopping😅 its a family day for us to shop together!! We budget and my husband is helpful and its a win win!!! ❤
yeah, I like it. For some reason it's just more fun!
Going shopping with my husband is my favorite way to shop!🥰
I think it's great to have them along to load and unload the groceries too! And they can pick out what snacks they want.
We are a family of 3 and LOVE Costco because of their healthy options. I say it's definitely worth the membership for Costco if you are more of a health conscious person.
Costco has more organic options than Sam's Club, but sam's carries more products overall. So like Megan said, pluses and minuses for both. I'm a Costco girl because of the bigger selection of healthy products
My husband and I are empty nesters but I would NEVER give up my Costco subscription. While I don’t buy junk food, there are many items I like to buy in bulk. Cooking oils, detergent, softener, dish soap, dishwasher tabs, Pam, paper towels, toilet paper, dinner napkins, soap, soft soap, nuts, frozen shrimp and chicken breasts, pepper corns, maple syrup, organic milk, eggs, corn muffins, rotisserie chicken, lamb chops are some of my go to items. At Christmas time, I love their wrapping paper and tissue paper.
We don't have any children, but we have a Costco and Sam's membership. It's a blessing to be able to buy in large quantities for non-perishables. It saves time not having to drag that stuff home from the regular grocery stores every week. Plus, it's great to have extra on hand to share with others.
At Sam's, the best cheese slices are next to the deli meats in the meat department. The rotisserie chicken is a great deal. You can do a lot of things with it - sandwiches, casseroles, etc. We like to buy a Caesar salad kit and add the chicken to that for a meal. Blessings, Janell
Hooray! I love Thursday’s with Megan 💖. Can’t wait to watch now! Thanks for making my day so much better 💖🙏💖🙏
GREAT SNACK FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS - Melt 1 stick of butter, mix with 1 packet of Ranch Dressing mix, 1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese, 1 T red pepper flakes and 1 tsp garlic powder in a large bowl. Toss 1 box of ritz crackers with the mix; lay out on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for approx. 15 minutes. Yummy!! God bless you and yours!
Always love your visits. Thanx for popping in and share the family shopping day❤
Couldn’t wait for your video today!!! Loved shopping with you, I always love to get ideas for grocery shopping!❤️
I totally enjoyed this video. Your children are absolutely delightful. Miller is brilliant. I am 81, a widow, and shop at Sam’s for many things. It lets me shop less often and not have the crowds when I do go. Thank you for sharing this.
Love the scan & go feature on the app! Don’t have to wait til the end to check out if they’re busy!
Also, love their natural peanut butter. Reminds me the most of JIF!
love Miller and the Mango... trust a boy to find them. So Cute! Enjoy camping xx
Megan, try parchment paper on top of your baking sheets. Works awesome!
yes! love this trick, food still cooks well on parchment, so much less scrubbing
Miller is the cutest! Those big blue eyes oh my gosh ! We love Sam’s go once every two months usually but we don’t spend over $200 most trips. I was never at a Costcos so can’t compare. Thanks for sharing
Man I enjoyed going to Sam’s club with you. Made is so fun. You all enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing. Great family
Can’t wait to see the snickers bar recipe 🤩 exciting!! Also Miller with the mango 🥹 🥭 that’s so cute!
The green ‘cotton candy’ grapes are phenomenal!
Miller was so cute eating that Mango...I think he really liked it👍🩷😊
I love the scan and go option when I go to Sam’s. It saves me so much time, especially with littles.
I love shopping at Sam's club. They have good prices on kid's clothes, and their diapers and wipes are great.
Good video and an interesting topic. I'm typically a Costco shopper, but fun to see Sam's Club. Thanks!
We've used Sam's and/or costco since we got married. We have 3 kids in the same age range as you now. Its not a store we buy everything at but it definitely saves us money to shop there. You just have to price compare like you would at other stores and you'll save!
I look forward to watching your channel on thursdays... the littles are really growing. I love having my husband shop with me.....we dont spend anymore when he is along he is great.
Parchment paper on the baking sheets really helps!
Yay you got the baking sheets, we love those! I always cover mine with parchment paper or aluminum foil and that keeps them cleaner and longer lasting.
We have both sizes of the baking sheets. They're awesome.
omg megan, the attempt at our british "aloominum" foil!! brilliant!
The cookies sheets are amazing! Great for bacon and you can’t beat the price.
Miller eating that Mango was so cute. 😊
Sam's Club is a fun treat for me! I only go a few times a year with my dad (who has a membership) and I stock up on prime rib sliders, cheese, and some roasts for the freezer. We love their pretzels and ice cream from the snack stand as well! Hope you enjoyed your Sam's Club visit Megan!
Yes! Their pretzels are yum! I love their chocolate frozen yogurt!
Your kids are so adorable!
Ritz chicken casserole is very good, and you can also sandwich peanut butter and dip them in chocolate candy coating 🙂
We have shelves in our garage just for Costco trips. I buy the big boxes of things and half go in the cupboard and then I put half in the garage. Then in a couple weeks when half is gone and forgotten about, I pull out the second half. I usually do it with things like cereal, pasta, snacks, granola bars, applesauce pouches, drinks, etc. It also slows my kids down on eating it all.
You can use Ritz crackers in place of the crackers for S'mores! They're salty and crunchy and delicious with marshmallows.
put parchment paper on your baking sheets really helps I use it for doing bacon also
I enjoyed watching your take on Sam’s club! I love ours however I’ve never been to a Costco so I can’t really compare. Love watching your videos and seeing your sweet family! Looking forward to the next one!
Wow, Miller is growing so fast!
We love getting our paper products there. The store brand of paper towel and toilet paper is great, and I can be picky about that!😅 also love the dishwasher pods and some other cleaning products as well!! And I always find some other goodies when I’m there too. You never know what you’re going to find! I’m going to be trying those chicken bites!
Ritz cracker toffee bark! So good if you like sweet and salty combo
There is a really great orange cake recipe that I use the dates for. 😋
Miller was too cute with the mangos!!!
Use the crackers to make your own lunchables and make weekly charcuterie boreds also dip them in chocolate the salty and sweet is so good
Miller is just so cute. Love your videos
That mango scene is the best. I do that to with the seed. I think there is a seed pod in that seed and it will grow.
Oh that's neat !! I didn't think you guys were that close to where I live but that's the same sam's club I shop at !!
I love Sam's Club! It was so fun to watch you go! I always get hung up on the book section and kid clothes section 😅. Can't beat lunch there after shopping either. The frozen yogurt is so good and only 99 cents!
Fun video! Just to let you know, you can return the Ritz crackers and ketchup. They are good about returns.
Loved the “Evonnie cam” 🥰
haha, I came here to say the same thing. That girl has talent!
We primarily use our Sam's membership for meat - chicken, fresh salmon, and frozen fish. We buy in bulk when prices are low and fill up our chest freezer. It saves us a lot of money!
We love the Member’s Mark diapers and wipes. I liked the target ones with our first son, but was not a fan when we tried them for the second boy. We tried the Member’s Mark and have really liked them.
Gracious!! Miller is gorgeous!!
Ritz crackers make great toppings for casseroles, macaroni and cheese, any type of gratin (broccoli, cauliflower, potato, zucchini etc.) They are also great for breading chicken,fish and breadcrumbs for meatloaf and meatballs. You can crush them and put in zip lock bags and freeze.
May God continue to bless you and your family abundantly!
My favorite sweet treat from the Sam’s club cafe is the cinnamon pretzel! And we like the diapers and wipes!
You can make your own peanut butter crackers. Also we like fire crackers. We recently acquired a recipe.
4 sleeves of crackers in a gallon size freezer bag.
1 1/4 cup oil (canola or olive)
2 tablespoons of red pepper flakes
Mix into the oil and pour over the crackers and mix them up until evenly coated. Take them out of the ziplock bag and put into sandwich bags or a plastic container.
We absolutely love Sam's Club... we've been shopping there once a week for the past 10 and a half years ❤
Yes, when you have a family, we find ourselves at Sams every month. The wipes are top notch! So soft and better than the Target brand. I’m going to have to try out those chicken nuggets and the freeze pops. One more things for you to try out - dark chocolate sea salt caramels (it’s a splurge, but taste amazing!). 😍
Oh and Cheddar cheese slices are by the prepackaged deli meats. Usually right beside the meats also.
RITZ cracker uses!!! Take one cracker and sandwich with one of the following…filled with jam, peanut butter, or Fluff (marshmallow) or Nutella and top with another cracker. Then dip in melted chocolate. Easy peasy and a huge hit. You will use up a box in no time!!!! I make these at Christmas time for variety in my cookie tray.
Love your vlog content.
Fun video! Next time you should get a churro with vanilla soft serve to dip it in! Yumm, it’s so good.
mmmmhhhh!
Best part of Sams is scan and go!!! I can go in and grab my stuff like 10-15 minutes just scanning as I go. Plus the gas! We only fill up at Sam’s because it’s close to us and it saves us a ton.
Long retired empty nesters, but we can’t quite give up our Sam’s membership. Best TP and paper towel, good prices on clothes for our great-granddaughter, good diapers and wipes (we care for her 1 day a week-hopefully diapers are almost a thing of the past-she’s nearly potty trained) and of course the rotisserie chicken. We also buy our 10 lb. lean ground beef tube there and repackage in 1 pound packages. We also like the pre-made meals in the cooler as a treat-way cheaper than eating out. We go every month or 2. And yes! We like the pizza too!
We get our water there as well as the Perdue thin chicken, the hamburger meat and a few other items every couple of months.
Costco food is also amazing. Have 4 older kids and we definitely benefit from a membership and go through food like crazy.
Ooo! Make the ritz cracker sandwiches with peanut butter in the middle and covered with chocolate or butterscotch!!! Sooo yummmmmm!!!
It's true you need to go more often to get use to it. Things you buy this time you prlly won't need next time so you get different things. I love sams and cosco both. Sams is my favorite of the two. I'm a fan of bull buying. Great video Megan.
I like when my hubby comes grocery shopping so he can help with the kids and bring the groceries in 😂. He is a chef so he likes to browse and shop ALL the isles; where I like to get in and get out
You make my day
I have the baking sheets from Sam’s club I like mine.
I use parchment paper on the cookie sheet when cooking bacon
I am in Canada and am the mother of six kids and we used to have a Sam’s club where I live and our family really liked it so when it closed we missed it
To use up ritz crackers, they are delicous if you take 2, make a peanut butter "sandwich", then dip the whole thing in chocolate and let harden. It gives Take 5 vibes and is sooo yummy.
We used to do this at home! With marshmellow cream too yet!
THANK YOU! I’m always telling my kids American cheese is plastic, we definitely skip that at our house.
Ritz cracker put in meat loaf use for tuna and chicken salad. Use when you with your dips instead of buying bread crumbs blend the crackers.
Miller eating the mango was adorable! We only have Sam’s Club in Northwest Louisiana…so can’t compare to Costco. But we love our Sam’s!
Our family loves Costco, and ESPECIALLY Sam's Club. And we are a family of 3. Scan and go feature is the best at Sam's. Also if you are a plus member they will ship you a LOT of things for free. Definitely worth the membership price. Telling your son the cute pool plates are "tacky". And so you buy plain white? Girl, it's summer time. Sometimes we need some COLOR in our life. Fun things. Your house is all the same color every where you look. If that is how you like it, then that's wonderful for you. But your kids need some fun plates to eat their summer time lunch on. And about Josh's work's donut trailer, I'm so proud of that man. He can totally reinvent his career. He is a hard worker, and SUCH a great Dad. From a family that drives a good 3 hours one way - just to get a Peachy's donut in Sarasota area, those home made donuts are like nothing else. I know those that Josh makes must be wonderful. I ordered things from your store on line, and Josh was so helpful. Is there anything this man can't do? You have a wonderful, beautiful family.
Those pineapple spears are my favorite!
Just an FYI PODS of any kind, dishwasher or for laundry are a no go for me. Our plumber said they really don’t fully dissolve and the plastic bits can ruin your plumbing. I stick with good old fashioned liquid detergents. Also flushable wipes are really not to be flushed they are a nightmare for the septic system. Loved your video!
Place salted side of ritz crackers down on cookie , place a rolo on top, heat in oven until they’re barely soft, top with another ritz cracker, salted side up and push down. A good sweet and salty snack.
Perfect timing. We just signed up for a Sam's membership, only because my daughter gets it cheap through her job. Lol, the Ritz!! Have you done peanut butter sandwiches dipped in chocolate? And broccoli casserole and salmon patties are always good. 😁 Looks like mangoes are a win! Have a blessed week.🌸
We live in Oklahoma, but we're close enough to Texas that we drive down there to shop at Sam's about every other month and take advantage of their tax-free groceries. Since we shop there regularly, I make my list in order of the path we always take around the store. Some of our favorite things to buy there are Epsom Salt, Sugar, rice, green beans, all of our paper goods (toilet paper, paper towels, etc.), white vinegar & baking soda (I use those for my laundry), cream cheese, Tillamook brand blocks of cheese, sometimes we get lunch meat and turkey bacon, whatever fruits, veggies & berries we need/they have a good deal on, Ecos laundry soap, and usually a huge bag of On The Border tortilla chips.
We also get computer paper from there a couple time a year.
We don't often get clothing or outdoor or book items from there, but I have a 3 sweaters (same style, different colors) that I bought from there about 6 years ago, for $12 each, that I use CONSTANTLY throughout the cooler months and they still look great! They do have cute, sturdy childrens books, and we have bought our children bag chairs from there that they have used over and over and over again for years and they are stil in great condition!
I love shopping there with my husband and children!🥰 My husband always uses the scan&go option on his Sam's App, which saves a ton of time. And... my husband inevitably picks up things here and there that I'm like... Why do we need THAT many of whatever it is??😂🤷♀️
A yummy treat to use Ritz crackers for is to slap some peanut butter between two crackers and dip them in melted almond bark.😋😋😋😋
Hello Megan, love your videos. Just wanted to suggest a great recipe for Ritz crackers is Ritz cracker candy, also called Christmas candy. There's a lot of great recipes for it on UA-cam and let me tell you it's so yummy. Blessings to you and your family ❤️
I get my baking goods, corndogs, nuts from Sams, and of COURSE a brownie sundae!😋
Also, I really want to try costco...
Thank you for sharing! Always interesting to see what others get from Sams Club as well as the pricing. There is a section with sliced deli meat in plastic tubs, the cheese slices (cheddar, Colby, muenster, Havarti, etc) are usually in the same section but both of those (at least in my Sams) are not in the same area as milk, shredded cheese, eggs etc. The lunch meat and sliced cheese is near meat section in my location. I have almost always loved their fruit. I feel like it's always so good! Had to edit to add: Scan & go is brilliant if you're able to do that. Saves you from having to go through the checkout lines bc you download the app, scan your items as you put them in your cart and pay from the app.
Thanks! I will have to check that area!
I didn't like sam's until I had preteens and then teens. Then it made sense to buy 2 of the same things or giant boxes of this and that. I never bought a lot of prepared foods and snacks but some staples, yes.
Maybe you can use ritz insted of bread crumbs in meatballs or meatloaf?
My meal prep has done a 180 because of this channel. I am songle and my meals are no longer boring.
The pineapple in coconut water is the BEST!!!!
That Pizza looked so good
I store ritz crackers in gallon bags in freezer, they stay good practically forever..and you'll be surprised how fast they get used up.
The dried mangos from Sams are amazing!!! Not the healthiest since they do have some added sugar but the flavor and the texture are the best! Costco has some that are no sugar added but the texture is much more hard and dry.
When I lived in Lancaster, we did not have a Sam’s Club, and I drove clear to Harrisburg for the Sam’s Club there. Do you drive to Harrisburg or York or where is one for you?
Ritz crackers make a really good breading for pork medallions. I’ve made a really yummy recipe with cut pork tenderloins and a creamy mushroom sauce. There’s a place in my hometown that makes a fried steak breaded in Ritz crackers.
Cheddar cheese slices are by the cold dips/ sandwich meat. The have good cheese options but its not in the dairy section with doors. At mine its on the other side of produce near dips.
It is just my husband and I at home and we go to Sam’s Club at least 4 or 5 times a year. If you like cheesecake try the cheesecake bites.
Your children are all so cute with those eyes. You and Josh are such a cute couple hope you have fun camping.
I always end up spending more money when my husband comes shoping with me🙃 he grabs lots of extras 😊 I fill your pain I find my self often buying things I already have🙈 then I fill so bad for spending money I didn't have to. Love your family, thanks for sharing
Love the video but the employee riding the cart in the background at 4:27 had me laughing.
