I definitely think your eldest child would feel super responsible if you asked him if he wants to take charge of a cart when you go shopping! I was 9, almost 10, when my youngest brother was a baby. My mom asked me to help her with pushing our cart at the grocery store when my brother would start crying and she had to soothe him. I felt this great sense of responsibility and meaning when i was asked to help and i even asked her at the store to just push the cart anyway, even if my bro wasnt fussy. The littlest things like pushing a cart, peeling potatoes, any little mundane task made me feel like a grown up and respected as a capable person. (Now i wish someone else would peel potatoes or push my cart 😂 weird how those same tasks feel like such a drag now that i HAVE to do them myself as an adult.)
I thought the same. Your oldest can push the 2nd cart. He will feel so grown up in making a real contribution, and you won't have to make an extra trip. I'm with you regarding raisins in oatmeal cookies. They just go together. I like to cook raisins in my oatmeal porridge, too. With cinnamon. 😋
Feta cheese and Kalamata Olives are two of my favorite things! But it has to be authentic feta, made of sheep's milk and packed in brine. The stronger and saltier, the better!
My local farm has feta made from goats milk! It comes packed in water 💦 Best feta on the planet!!! I love raisins in oatmeal cookies! Also walnuts & chocolate chips 😋
I'm team "oatmeal raisin" cookie. I always refrigerate my dough overnight to let the oats hydrate, it makes for really nicely chewy cookies. In the winter I switch it up and make oatmeal craisin cookies because cranberries are awesome. If you like those silicone bags go back and get more soon because they had the * star on the tag which means they won't be restocking them I'm sure you probably noticed that, but just in case you didn't ;)
I went back and they were gone! Such a bummer! But now I know to keep an eye out for a good deal in Amazon :) I just learned about the star last night!
Treat yourself to the books, you deserve it! And yes, raisins in the oatmeal cookies. Thank you for the video, cheered me up after a rough day. Have a great week!
I love Oatmeal raisin cookies there is no better way to eat them. $400.00 is not bad for not going for 3Months. We go every week. But you have shown me some great snacks to try. Hope I can find them here in Phoenix.
I fallow a couple of pages here in You Tube and they use the silicone bags for everything, inclusive for freezer meals. Also, may i ask, in your area you have a recicle system? I wish I have it so can relate when we need to by, in example, zip lock. Have a wonderful week.
Hello! Yes we have a recycle system but not everything is recyclable. We recycle what we can though :) I still like to reduce waste whenever it’s reasonable :)
Hello! I am not Obi-Wan-BEG this week, I have the week off work. 😁 Those Veggie Straws are so good!!! I am in 🇨🇦 and though many of our products at Costco are the same I don’t think we have that salsa. I’ll have to check out the refrigerated section to see if I can find it. I know we won’t have the Texas toast. 😕 I am pretty sure I’ve seen Ziploc silicone bags, and I will be curious to see how much they are charging 🇨🇦. Thanks for the colab with “The Grocery Lady” her channel looks fun. Oh and I am all in on the raisins. I know raisins are something that you either love or you hate I am definitely on the ❤️ side.
Hi nice to see you again and amazing shopping trip. I don't buy at Costco cause we dont need alot of things (we are family of three) not like yours. BTW you have a very wonderful and blessed life. Take care and i see you next time. 🌻
@@jaroffireflies i didn’t realize you had a Berkey… I’ve been thinking about that one for a few years. I haven’t heard of Black Rifle… I’ll check it out!
It's always nice to see youtubers do have genuine connections and Meghan is such an amazing person from what I've seen from her channel so I'm sure you are too.
speaking as a coeliac l would far rather have gluten instead of gluten free, so l think you getting both is much better than everyone having to do gluten free. After all, let's be honest, gluten free stuff just isn't as nice!!
Hi Chana, I get amazed every time you do a Costo trip😆 everything is so huge and its not something that you can find in Europe And for all of that you payed 400$ That is insane to me. 42 protein bars? That alone would be more than 50€. Not to mention the milk and the cheese. We pay 3€ for a little bag of cheese that isnt even 200g. 🤣🤣 Especially when you have a big family, its definitely worth it.
Not only raisins in oatmeal cookies at my house growing up, but Mom also made what she called Cowboy Cookies which is oatmeal with chocolate and butterscotch chips
I love Costco. I need to go soon. It will be a huge haul. I HATE raisins! I LOVE cashews, but I have to have roasted and salted. I totally get buying the paper products at Costco. They are so much more cost effective. Watching this reminded me to add aluminum pans to my list. They are so expensive at the grocery store. We use ours in our smoker and I also use them if I take a meal/dish to someone. Not having to worry about returning a dish is the best! Have a great week and a blessed and restful Shabbat.
I do Sam’s every 2 months. Saves so much money rather than going every time I need something. Saves on the impulse buys lol If you get a flat cart can your son push the baby in a stroller? Or push a 2nd cart?
@@jaroffireflies I’m almost at that point but a lot of the times I’ll order not fridge stuff on line for pick up Then get my meats and cold stuff when I get there. Saves time and a headache with 4 kids in tow lol.
I just joined Costco! I do enjoy your hauls and the variety of what they sell that I decided to join. Who doesn't need 10 lbs of granola or a 64:oz bottle of evo? Lol!
I wonder if we have a sign that a product is kosher in my country or not. I'll have to look next month when I go shopping, not that it affects me directly but it's interesting to me. I think I'll learn a lot from you. I used to watch Meghan but haven't had a lot of time lately due to life. This video was recommended to me and I reconnected again to Meghan so it's a double bonus for me. Thank you for sharing your grocery haul for me.😊
One of the older children could push a trolley. If you just kept the gluten free stuff for your son, it would last longer as only him eating it. Because my partner doesn’t eat the bread I eat. I buy a few loaves & also freeze. But I put 2 slices in a ziplock bag then freeze.
Hi Chana! I never got out of Cosco spending less than 100 dollars and that was going monthly for 2 people! Paper goods, condiments, drug store items, and various treats, books and seasonal items, wow, did that add up quickly! I think you did really well, I thought it would more money! As always a pleasure to watch and learn.....
OMG I LOVE LEIGH BARDUGO’S BOOKS. The Shadow&Bone trilogy kinda sets up the world, I like the Six of Crows duology that comes after better, still need to read the 2 newest books, King of Scars and Rule of Wolves. I’m an oatmeal chocolate chip person.
Loooove Oatmeal rasin cookies! Also Oatmeal scotchies. Could you have number 1 son firefly drive an additional carriage? Or, have him drive baby firefly while you man the flatbed cart?!
Good Morning Jar of Fire Flies, Thank you for taking us on your groceries haul. Nice items. Glad that your children enjoy groceries shopping with you. That's is nice family time together. When my children was younger , We used to do that too. Shalom to you and your family. Be encouraged and bless. Stay safe and healthy during the summer season. Now that it's coming to the end of the season. 🛐🕎✡️👼🏾🙏🤗💃🏽😇🙌🏾💐❤️♥️. You're Welcome.
Hi Channa...when I make oatmeal cookies I include BOTH raisins and Chocolate Chips! I've never seen commercially made oatmeal cookies like that so if I'm buying cookies instead of making them I usually buy one box of each. My mother's family are the only ones I know of who make their oatmeal cookies with both but we all love them.
Welcome! Thank you so much for coming by! Ah I went back within two days but they were all already gone 😞 But I’ll be in the lookout for a good deal on more now though :)
I'll eat oatmeal cookies either way. I've also thrown the last of a bag of chocolate chips in them. I always put chopped nuts in -- usually pecans. Dried cranberries are fantastic in oatmeal cookies. I use the America's Test Kitchen recipe. It's a great oatmeal cookie recipe. Highly recommended. Love the video as always. Shalom!
Couldn't oldest Firefly son push a cart with Baby F while you push a flat cart? NO raisins in anything for me! I like oatmeal walnut cookies. Also, do you have a kosher grocery near you? Always good to see you!
Hello! Great idea about the carts! We do have a couple of very small kosher grocery stores and a large grocery store that has a large kosher section in it. But it’s not like New York area where there are huge entirely kosher grocery stores.
I really liked the shadow and bone series. After the series aired on Netflix a lot of people bought and subsequently sold the series, so I got a nice box set off facebook marketplace for really inexpensive. That was what got me hooked on buying my „hmm let‘s see if I like the series“ series used. I hate only buying the first book and then having to wait on the second one to arrive if I liked it :D
I put raisins in my oatmeal cookies, and sometimes add chocolate chips as well. I don't think I've ever eaten just a plain oatmeal cookie! Now I have the urge to go to Costco 😅but we're empty nesters so don't need much there. The savings on eyeglass frames pays for our membership! ETA: Meghan is darling! Just subscribed.
You are my kind of woman, Chana. Loved your Costco hall. My husband and I went yesterday and we got quite a bit of stuff. Not one of their "boat" carts full, but did have quite a bit of stuff in the basket. 😊
I put raisins, pecans and chocolate chips in my banana muffins - delicious! Not a fan of raisin oatmeal cookies. But my Dad liked Hermit cookies which had raisins in them.
Hi Chana thank you for sharing your life with all of us. I always love the haul videos. The pack sizes you have over in the US always amaze me. Over here in Europe you might get 10 to 15 bars in a package not 30. On the one hand it looks handy to be able to get a month worth of snacks in one go, but they also look quite bulky.
Costco trips definitely take up a lot of space but luckily we have a large pantry so we have a place to store variety :) Otherwise it definitely wouldn’t work as well
Hi Chana, I just wanted to make you aware my dayan (Rabbi of Jewish Law) have said raisins are too infested to be eaten. I was so sad. It's s my favorite food.
❤ Raisins in oatmeal cookies are delicious! We just had oatmeal chocolate chip cookies 🍪 they are equally yummy! Loved your Costco haul! ❤ I have been a subscriber of Meghan's since Planting Birches! Love her!
This heat is really something, isn’t it? We’ve been 100+ here in Austin for weeks and won’t be cooler than that for the foreseeable future. I know Texas is hot, but this is so much worse than it’s been! Stay cool, Chana!
Hi there. I’m new to your channel. Meghan sent me 😊. Really enjoyed your grocery haul. Is it possible that one of your children could push a second cart so that you can have less trips to Costco? Just a thought. I’ve subscribed to your channel. Have a blessed day.
Welcome! Thanks so much for stopping by! I’m so glad you’re here 💜 So funny enough, I’ve never thought about getting a second cart but I totally could because my oldest loves pushing the cart!
Hi Chana, another great video, I hear you guys are baking in the heat, I’m in PA, we were too for the last couple of weeks, but yesterday we finally got some beautiful blue skies and low humidity, I hope you guys get some relief soon. Have a wonderful week😊
Maybe Mr. Firefly can join you so you can have two carts? Or if your eldest can push one cart and you the other? Anyway, I love Costco, too. Who doesn't? But no raisins for me! LOL
@jaroffireflies I enjoy the bloopers and really enjoy learning about what makes things kosher. I had no idea there were symbols on things so you know whether or not they are kosher. For instance, I didn't know cheese was kosher? I enjoy learning this info
Haha the Canadian in me saw your bag of cups and jumped to bagged milk 😂 (yes it is a thing! It’s a three pack with bags of milk that you place in a pitcher and cut a corner for pouring). Oh and definitely need raisins in oatmeal cookies!
@@jaroffireflies yes, I know. Another thing only jews do is eating ice cream BEFORE dinner, because dinner is planned to be Fleishig 🙂. We have done that 🤣. Not too often of course 👍.
Thank you for sharing your grocery haul! I love watching grocery hauls and seeing what others buy at different stores. ❤❤ Going to have to look for those silicone baggies at the store!!

@@jaroffireflies Two carts, you get the big one, baby firefly sits in the seat and the older fireflies take it in turns to push.

@@janehall3910 at 02:30 you can see the price tag for the bags. The * (asterisk or star) is in the right upper corner. :)
Hi Chana! Have you tried oatmeal cookies with dried cranberries and a teaspoon of orange extract ( or just some orange zest)?? Super yummy!!
Great idea!! I have not! But I have seen it mentioned today and it sounds delicious!
Treat yourself to the books, you deserve it! And yes, raisins in the oatmeal cookies. Thank you for the video, cheered me up after a rough day. Have a great week!

Welcome! Thank you so much for stopping by! I am so glad you are here! Hope that you enjoyed!
I am team oatmeal Raisin cookie. I enjoyed your video.
Awesome! Thank you!
I'm not fond of raisins so I will often substitute dried cherries instead.
Sounds delicious!
I'm not a fan of raisins, but if you haven't tried oatmeal cranberry or oatmeal blueberry, you're missing out!
Oh wow that sounds so good and I never would have thought of that!
Can one of the Junior Fireflies push a cart with Baby Firefly in the seat while you push one of the big flatbed carts? That might help.
Great idea!
Hi there. I’m new to your channel. Meghan sent me 😊. Really enjoyed your grocery haul. Is it possible that one of your children could push a second cart so that you can have less trips to Costco? Just a thought. I’ve subscribed to your channel. Have a blessed day.
Welcome! Thanks so much for stopping by! I’m so glad you’re here 💜 So funny enough, I’ve never thought about getting a second cart but I totally could because my oldest loves pushing the cart!
Raisins in cookies? Of course. But I add raisins to cereal, salads, couscous, yogurt... Have a nice week! 🌞
Raisins in carrot salad is amazing!
I love Costco but I have to run out before I buy too much. I love your bloopers 😂
Yessss so much good stuff!
Oatmeal cookies without raisins is just wrong.
LOLOLOL
I enjoy a dried craisins (dried cranberry) in place of raisins in my oatmeal cookies.
Yum!
Chana ive made your Moroccan fish with cod which was delicious ❤❤
I’m so happy you enjoyed it!!!
Hi Chana, another great video, I hear you guys are baking in the heat, I’m in PA, we were too for the last couple of weeks, but yesterday we finally got some beautiful blue skies and low humidity, I hope you guys get some relief soon. Have a wonderful week😊
Thank you! We are mostly staying indoors right now. Even the pools are too warm!
carrot cake, oatmeal cookies, and Morning Glory muffins MUST have raisins.
Maybe Mr. Firefly can join you so you can have two carts? Or if your eldest can push one cart and you the other? Anyway, I love Costco, too. Who doesn't? But no raisins for me! LOL
We usually go while he’s at work
@@jaroffireflies I understand.
@@Ceelle2 it would be nice though!
So get one of the older children to follow you around with another cart.
Great idea!
Just oatmeal for me, do not like raisins even to just eat :-)
I’m a big fan of dried fruit but I know not everyone is 🙂
My mom makes the best Oatmeal Scotchies, you add butterscotch chips instead of raisins. They are so good!
Sounds super delicious!
New to your channel from Meghan's. I'm Treena from Oklahoma
Hello Treena! Welcome! I am so glad you are here :) Thank you so much for coming over!
@jaroffireflies I enjoy the bloopers and really enjoy learning about what makes things kosher. I had no idea there were symbols on things so you know whether or not they are kosher. For instance, I didn't know cheese was kosher? I enjoy learning this info
Haha the Canadian in me saw your bag of cups and jumped to bagged milk 😂 (yes it is a thing! It’s a three pack with bags of milk that you place in a pitcher and cut a corner for pouring).
Oh and definitely need raisins in oatmeal cookies!
Bags of milk is a totally foreign concept here! Everything is a carton or jug :) Israel has bags of milk though!
@@jaroffireflies ooh I didn’t know that bagged milk was a thing in Israel!
@@jomac841 yesss! Do a Google image search for “Choco Israel”. You’ll see bags of chocolate milk!
@@jaroffireflies that’s awesome :)
Bagged milk and catsup chips.. two very Canadian things I learned about in my time in Toronto that we dont have here.:)
Oatmeal raisin cookie with walnuts 😀
I have never tried them with walnuts! Seems to be a popular choice!
M as y e you can carry your small one in a sling. I did that for many years
I could but then it’s very hard to do the heavy or bulky things of water or diapers etc 🫤
I'm not Jewish, but I found your channel and found it very interesting and now I'm hooked.
I LOVE oatmeal raisin cookies!
❤️❤️❤️
Do you think that if you bought the exact same things at a regular supermarket the price would be double?
I don’t think it would be double but there is a savings in most products to purchase here
I like plain oatmeal cookies lol or with chocolate chips
I love oatmeal chocolate chip too ❤️
Thank you very interesting once again.
My pleasure!
Costco sells an 85 inch TV. Who doesn't need that? Of course I'm being sarcastic!
Hi popped over from meghans channel
Hello and welcome! Thank you so much for coming by!
Good morning! 😊
Good morning Cheryl!
Hi Meghan the Grocery lady sent me 😊
Hello and welcome! I am so happy you came by! Hope you enjoyed!
I’m a plain oatmeal cookie person. I’m anti raisin! 😂
You know I don’t think I’ve ever even had a plain oatmeal cookie but I do love cooked raisins!
@@jaroffireflies I will also do chocolate chip oatmeal.
I thought I was the only anti-raisiner here! I do really like nuts in the oatmeal cookies though.
We like oatmeal cookies with raisins or craisins.
Craisins sounds like such a fun idea!
Meghan Birch, recommended you
Thanks so much for stopping by!
1000000% oatmeal raisin. 😂
You’re my people! 😂
I want you to have a cute backpack because I am worried about your shoulders hurting but everyone does it.
Jewish life: Costco soft serve for lunch 😅. Sounds like my family.
Its such a treat!
@@jaroffireflies yes, I know. Another thing only jews do is eating ice cream BEFORE dinner, because dinner is planned to be Fleishig 🙂. We have done that 🤣. Not too often of course 👍.
@@hpyrkh3 exactly 🤣🤣🤣
Hi, Meghan sent me, love deal shopping
Thanks for coming! I’m so glad you are here! 💐

Going to have to look for those silicone baggies at the store!!
So glad that you enjoyed! I went back for more literally within two days and they were sold out
