Great haul and love from the United States. ❤ I just did my huge 800 $ Costco haul too I love seeing what others get from Costco great job with your video and channel.🎉🎉🎉
What a haul! Yes, although prices have risen in the US, you’re prices seem much higher overall! With such a large family I am sure food storage is a comfort for you!
Vanilla has gotten crazy expensive. I've started to make my own which is so much cheaper. I found a place to get bulk orders of vanilla beans which makes it even more economical.
Love your videos. I use coconut oil when cooking eggs (scrambled and fried). Also great to saute shrimp in. Just a cautionary note -- please be careful switching around your pet food. My dad was a veterinarian. It's not good for their system to change up brands. When doing so, you should ease it in.
I stumbled On your page today and watched 8 hours of videos! You share so many of my favorite hobbies on a whole new level. You make me want to be a better person overall and spend more time doing the important works of our homes. Thank you for your inspiration!!!
you should make your own vanilla extract. Becky from Acre homestead makes hers too and she uses a gallon of a good quality rum and just sticks 20-30 vanilla beans in it and lets it sit for like 6 months if i remember correctly
There is a guy here in Nova Scotia that has been collecting old community cookbooks ( old fund raiser books) and putting them into pdf, he then posts them on Facebook bc he wants the knowledge to continue ,it's wonderful seeing all, the old recipes from the tiny little fishing communities. Let me know if it would be OK to post his page name....would love for more people to benefit from his work.
what I did with all my very old clippings (from my Mom) and very old books(been collecting for years) that were fragile and falling apart- I bought a binders and the clear plastic page protectors that are archival safe- even the smallest newspaper fragments I put in a sleeve, because you can read both sides thru the sleeve- I placed in binders - some are full books and some are by subject- like chicken, breads, cookies, etc -
From a UK point of view, our shop brand products are far more cheeper for instance 1 can of mushroom is 65p frozen sweetcorn £1.60 kg . But our vanilla is £5 for 100ml. Also we can't get larger style packages. The chocolate chips I buy come in small 1cup bags can be quite expensive when backing with grandchildren.
I wish we had the larger packages here in the UK. Chocolate chips are so expensive. I'm thinking of chopping up the essential milk chocolate bar upu can get.
There used to be a company called Charles Chips that was very common, at least in the SE USA, and my absolute favorite item from them was ketchup potato chips. I believe Charles Chips still exists, but not like before. They were unique in that they actually had vans with drivers that would go around to businesses on a schedule and you could order from many delicious treats. For the potato chips, they sold a refillable metal can and you could then buy refill bags cheaper. Everything was really good and I miss them.
I live and grew up on Long Island, NY and have great memories of getting Charles Chips delivery every month. A large can of chips and pretzles- nothing like them.
The price of pet food has increased dramatically here in the UK As has the price of food in general although shops own brands tend to be cheaper ,it pays to shop around Like you always keep your eyes open for the offers 😉
I make my own vanilla, I buy a bunch of vanilla beans and a half gallon vodka, split the beans in half, put in the vodka. Let set in a cool dark place, shake once a week, will be ready after 6 months but can go a lot longer. The longer it sets the darker it gets.
I also shopped at Costco today but don't buy in the quantities you do as we are only two and Costco is ten minutes away. I love to shop there but hate putting everything away when I get home!
Coconut oil is a great to use on your skin. It had antioxidants and does not cause breakouts it actually will help breakouts to clear up. It also makes you feel very soft
Wow...amazing. I am in TN about 5 miles from the grocery store. Not as much land as we would like. Our prices are better and our pantry is way smaller. Enjoy your videos.
We use coconut oil and add it making chicken curry (the easy kind in a pre-mixed cube, it's a japanese brand I think) and it is really good. It does take away some of the flavor from the spices and adding coconut oil does makes the curry flavor not so strong.
I like the coconut oil too. I keep it out so I remember to use it. Really good olive oil is very expensive. I like to bake with the cheaper light olive oils and the coconut oil, but butter if I have it.
Everything is so expensive now, I compared prices from December to April, (found a groceryticket in my pantry) and some thing are 30%up😮, i live in the Netherlands, (Holland) and the only cheap stuff are vegetables in season right now. So we eat a lot of cabbage, leek, sauerkraut, sprouts and some early lettuce from our greenhouse.
Could you please do a video on how to make cream cheese, also yogurt and any other semi simple dairy? I'm kind of new to dairy and I would really like to know what to do with all this milk. Thanks in advance
Hi Chelsea have you considered making your own vanilla extract? Initial expense is quite high but you can make so much for your financial outlay. Now you have milk cows you’ll also be able to make buttermilk and therefore delicious Irish soda bread which does not contain yeast and makes a great hearty healthy loaf of bread.
1800.00! I am in shock at how expensive things are. I saw a simple steak at 103.00 kg. Picked up ground beef marked down half price and canned it!! Love your channel.
Oh and maybe Dan can come down here and organize our pantry - lol - we have stuff everywhere - condiments seem to be our achilles heel - we buy them on impulse and then forget to use them
I used to have lots but now meal plan and work them into the menu to use them up. My husband tends to buy stuff that is on sale even if we don’t need it and then I run out of room.
The Kirkland brand of both dog and cat food is amazingly good quality kibble! Signficantly better than anything you'll find at any other grocery store. By far the best price for the size of bag, and if you compare the ingredients to something like Whiskas (which is somehow more expensive??), there are no fillers like corn and wheat, and no dyes. I feed my cats the orange bag, and my dogs the blue bag (both fish based).
Just a thought about your old cook book, maybe you could take a photo of all the cuttings before they disintegrate Too much then at least you have them copied.
Fantastic haul! Looks like a lot of great, yummy, healthy food. It seems like your prices there are about 35% - 40% over what our prices here in Maryland. Prices are ridiculous right now!
I love a Costco haul. I usually go maybe twice a year but I live alone, so I don’t get nearly as much. Your prices are comparable to ours, I live in northeastern Ontario. You are quite right about the clothes being a good quality there. I always get something from there when I go.
Some of the food prices are much more expensive than Edmonton's Costco. I was just there on Saturday, May 13, 2023, and the Ice Drinks were 5.00 cheaper (not on sale), for example. Frozen veggies were also a couple bucks more expensive, and so were the berries compared to Edmonton. The olive oil is cheaper here by a couple bucks as well and so is the Avocado Oil
I bet you could laminate the fragile paper clippings. I am so jealous of your canning pantry. I use to watch my gma can, and I LOVED it, and I thought to myself that one day I would do some canning. Now I haven't tried it b/c I am scared that I will give my family Bacheloism. I just need to over come that fear! I love hearing the tops pop after they come out of the canner.
Looks like a truck load!! Wow! Looks like food! Curious again...how are the cookbooks going!!??😊 I love Costco!!❤ Thanks for sharing your life with us!
Impressive shopping! It does feel good to have a stocked pantry. You are blessed to not have the cost of meat added to your shopping, although I am sure grain and such is very expensive for feeding the livestock.
I love my carbon steel cookware. I switched from cast iron due to the weight. I have absolutely loved using carbon steel. Wish I had found it years ago.
My husband and I were just pricing canned mushrooms in Pennsylvania, US. I used to be able to get the 4 oz can (113 gm) for .79 cents at a local discount store. That same size is $1.50 for stems and pieces and the regular sliced are $2.54 at Walmart. The discount store has not had cases of them for close to a year and only randomly has a few cans of dents and bents of mushrooms now. My husband rarely goes in a grocery store but I think he's starting to get why over the last year I have been rebuilding our stockpile. We built a new house last year and had to eat down our pantry so we didn't have to move it twice as we were living with our daughter while they took down the old place and built the new one.
🇦🇺The cookbook that’s falling apart (newspaper articles), scan to the computer and re print. That way you keep the original from deteriorating further.
We live in northern North Dakota and it is actually easier and cheaper for me to go to Winkler Manitoba to the Walmart, especially in the winter. It saves me over 2 hours of drive time and when the Canadian dollar is so much less than the US dollar I can really save a lot of money. The down side is I can't buy raw meat and am limited on the fruits and veggies I can buy. When the kids were still at home we only went once a month to the city so we would spend easily $1,000 to resupply. I really enjoyed your video!
We love sweet potato fries too! I bought these ones from Costco & they’re delicious! We make a chipotle aioli to dip them in by mixing some mayonnaise with a little bit of BBQ sauce. Highly recommend! ☺️
Your berries, sugar, advil, bread, Ice, and several other items seemed to be very comparable to our prices in NC on the U.S. East coast. Several of your items seemed cheaper than here, vanilla extract, olive oil, salmon burgers, light bulbs are a few I'm remembering. Seems that you got some good buys.
Wonderful haul of groceries; thanks for sharing! Here in west Alberta, I think those costs are about the same. I don’t go to Costco (an hour away) but we have 3 large grocery outlets here in town. Definitely things have gone up 2 or 3 dollars more each but we buy our beef from a family member, so we can get it significantly more reasonable for around $4./lb. Our wages here are pretty good because there’s lots of work for most. Blessings to all🤗💜🇨🇦
Ketchup chips sound delicious! I used to dip chips in ketchup when I was a kid. I didn't know they were a chip flavor. wlWorth a trip to Canada just to check it out. 😊
Kirkland cat food is higher quality than Whiskas or Friskies. Definitely worth switching! We feed our cats Taste of the Wild which is $70 for a 14lb bag (one of our cats has chronic health problems so he needs grain-free food and as you know small town BC has limited options!), but Kirkland Nature's Domain brand is essentially the same product and we will buy that when we get a chance to get to Costco.
Pretty sure I'm going to this exact costco next week and specifically was hoping to stock up on butter. About $1.50 cheaper than I've found in my town. Good to know
I’ve been replacing my pans with that brand that your wok is. I just told my husband tonight if something drastic happens to my pans, I’m replacing them with the exact same thing! They’re not Teflon lined - which I like AND I can fry an egg without any butter at all and it slides right out. $1330 American dollars! Yikes! Lol
Oh wow on the Vanilla. I love that one but here in Ontario at Costco it does not come two pack only one and it is 17.99. That is fantastic. Ok so the Franks Hot sauce her for two pack runs about the same, and when on sale is 7.99 which they do often so I grab it them. Oh yes on the Chicago mix. 6.99 here. Same price on the Annies 19.99. The butter here 4.99 a block. Love the pantry as always what a wonderful feeling. hugs
Wow! I know exactly what you mean I don’t know if you’ve ever had an experience in your life when your kids were small and there was next to no food in your cupboards but as a single mother at the time I had that experience and over the years it’s stuck with me and I almost get anxious if I see my cupboards getting low on food and I always stock up and feel so much more relief when my pantry is fully stocked and I can keep moving forward with comfort knowing no matter what else in the world might be going on I’ll be able to cook great nutritious food for my family. Just curious where that comes from? Might also be a Canadian mindset and to do with not always being able to just go to the store whenever you feel like it. I’m sure having a Costco 31/2 hrs away it must be a great appreciation for their prices compared to regular grocery stores in your area especially when feeding such a large family? I thoroughly enjoy seeing what all you purchase and different products then I’ve ever tried. I try to stay away from packaged foods because of all the preservatives in them even the organic ones can have additives that I can’t pronounce or I don’t know what they are. I couldn’t believe the cost of the groceries on the final tally because there were no cleaning products, no toiletry items and next to no meat!!! It’s INSANE the prices of everything!!! You would think at least half of your grocery shopping should be in protein or meat and you had hardly any. I know when I’m not buying meat in my groceries and I think what did I buy for all that money?!? You didn’t even have eggs the expense of eggs or cheese or milk (cream cheese but still) ugh! I think it’s a travesty when it costs so much and you get sooo little, no flour, very little baking products except vanilla and coconut oil. Sorry it costs sooo much and I fear it’s only going to get worse, honestly I don’t know how families are going to survive??? Sooo terribly sad the prices. From one Canadian to another wishing you all the best! 🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦
Honey, I think the mindset of a stocked pantry making the world an easier place to live in is from being hungry as a child. I know that my sister and I both have a thing about a stocked pantry. We’re from South Carolina, so, it’s not just a Canadian thing.
Pet food in the USA has gone up. We have Sam's & Costco in Indiana & our Sam's is cheaper than Costco. Organic food is expensive here so as a single mom I buy non organic.
Something about a well stocked pantry makes me feel safe and wealthy!!!! Beautiful pantries!
Same!
Great haul and love from the United States. ❤ I just did my huge 800 $ Costco haul too I love seeing what others get from Costco great job with your video and channel.🎉🎉🎉
The Costco manager must do his happy dance when he sees your vehicle on the security cameras. 😅
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Did I miss an inside joke? Confused.
They spend quite a lot of money, which would make the manager happy. 😊
What a haul! Yes, although prices have risen in the US, you’re prices seem much higher overall! With such a large family I am sure food storage is a comfort for you!
American dollar is roughly 1.35 cad. Things will always seem a bit more expensive because of that.
Vanilla has gotten crazy expensive. I've started to make my own which is so much cheaper. I found a place to get bulk orders of vanilla beans which makes it even more economical.
I make my extracts also so much cheaper
How do you do it?
Where do you get your vanilla beans from? I want to start making my own. Thank you!
I make mine also so much cheaper
@@sarahludos7970 I got mine on Etsy

You can do vodka or rum.

Seems like everything is twice as much there. I’m in Indiana
Coconut oil is great as a skin conditioner. I use it when I get out of the shower. I keep a jar in the bathroom.
Interesting to see the prices at your Costco. Many of your items are cheaper than here in Eastern Ontario!
Great haul! Important especially for rural folks.
what I did with all my very old clippings (from my Mom) and very old books(been collecting for years) that were fragile and falling apart- I bought a binders and the clear plastic page protectors that are archival safe- even the smallest newspaper fragments I put in a sleeve, because you can read both sides thru the sleeve- I placed in binders - some are full books and some are by subject- like chicken, breads, cookies, etc -
I have two sets of tramontina pots with steamers and double boilers. I agree they are great and were a good value.

Another great video, I have never shopped at Costco. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💓💞🥰🤗
Coconut oil is fantastic for skin care, takes very little, or can be used in bath balms.

2can or copy them to preserve them use a lamanater to keep

Ok I’m reminded to be thankful- expensive in your area- well everywhere but there had me going wow
Coconut oil is fantastic for stir fry since you got a new wok 😉
Coconut oil is a great to use on your skin. It had antioxidants and does not cause breakouts it actually will help breakouts to clear up. It also makes you feel very soft
What a grocery haul. The organic sugar in Wisconsin Costco is $9.99 a bag. So sweet how Dan helps organize.
Wow...amazing. I am in TN about 5 miles from the grocery store. Not as much land as we would like. Our prices are better and our pantry is way smaller. Enjoy your videos.
Great Costco haul video & pantry tour! Love your channel.
I make my own Vanilla and also gift it. The first batch is the hardest because the wait is long. I find 6 months is good. Great haul.
We use coconut oil and add it making chicken curry (the easy kind in a pre-mixed cube, it's a japanese brand I think) and it is really good. It does take away some of the flavor from the spices and adding coconut oil does makes the curry flavor not so strong.

the cinnamon raisin bread is so good. We buy a couple packs of it and do up a bunch of french toast and freeze it for later use

So we eat a lot of cabbage, leek, sauerkraut, sprouts and some early lettuce from our greenhouse.
Thank you for this wonderful video. I learned you can freeze yeast and cream cheese. I have learned so much from all of your videos. Thanks so much.
You and your family is truly blessed ! Thank you for sharing your life . God bless !
I really wish we had a Costco here. Our closest one is in Lethbridge, Alberta. About 4ish hours from us.
hey- corn tortilla in 3” high stacks are 3$ for maybe 30 tortilla, but not sure if you’re too remote for a No Frills in cAnada
New here love your shopping video going back to watch some other videos.
Thx for sharing 😊
Could you please do a video on how to make cream cheese, also yogurt and any other semi simple dairy? I'm kind of new to dairy and I would really like to know what to do with all this milk. Thanks in advance
I have seen people making mozzarella, it seems to be really easy.
I love organizers and in our bathrooms I have used silverware trays. They work well
We have ketchup chips (or crisps) here in UK aswell. And I remember them being a new thing in Belgium years ago when I was a kid.

We did a shop at the Prince George Costco at the beginning of March and we paid the same price for the vanilla and maple syrup

I bet you could laminate the fragile paper clippings. I am so jealous of your canning pantry. I use to watch my gma can, and I LOVED it, and I thought to myself that one day I would do some canning. Now I haven't tried it b/c I am scared that I will give my family Bacheloism. I just need to over come that fear! I love hearing the tops pop after they come out of the canner.
Looks like a truck load!! Wow! Looks like food! Curious again...how are the cookbooks going!!??😊
I love Costco!!❤
Thanks for sharing your life with us!
I use alot of coconut oil making homemade granola.
Down in the states the "ketchup chips" are called "All dressed", they are delicious but seem to only be available for short periods of time.
We have all dressed, too, but the straight up ketchup are quite different in flavour.
I miss those salmon burgers from when I lived in Alberta! I haven't found them in New Brunswick yet.
Impressive shopping! It does feel good to have a stocked pantry. You are blessed to not have the cost of meat added to your shopping, although I am sure grain and such is very expensive for feeding the livestock.
We’re getting off of grain fed animals just for that reason.
I love my carbon steel cookware. I switched from cast iron due to the weight. I have absolutely loved using carbon steel. Wish I had found it years ago.
I remember buying vanilla for over 35.00 a few years ago. Crazy.

Sweet potatoes fries are great in the air fryer . Yes I believe your prices are higher than ours down in Texas
I have a friend in Camloops. She brings me syrup and ketchup chips when she visits. Best chips ever!!

I couldn't find the Dole pineapple at Cosco. But, at Sam's Club I found 4- 20 oz cans for $7.18
Wonderful haul of groceries; thanks for sharing! Here in west Alberta, I think those costs are about the same. I don’t go to Costco (an hour away) but we have 3 large grocery outlets here in town. Definitely things have gone up 2 or 3 dollars more each but we buy our beef from a family member, so we can get it significantly more reasonable for around $4./lb.

Awesome video!!
Sweet potatoes chip are fantastic the best
Ketchup chips sound delicious! I used to dip chips in ketchup when I was a kid. I didn't know they were a chip flavor. wlWorth a trip to Canada just to check it out. 😊
I live in Queensland Australia and your prices are about the same as ours.
Here Southern California all Costco has been so crazy crowded everyday even starting door opening in the morning. 🤦♀️ Organic sugar is $11.99
Prices higher in Canada , we can get butter 4 lbs for 12.00. Bacon 3 lbs 14.99.
Woah! Down here in the Fraser valley BC our food is cheaper! Not like it’s cheap but just slightly better than up north!
Love that olive oil!
They are great sweet potatoes fries one of my favourites!
Sweet potato fries are delicious
Kirkland cat food is higher quality than Whiskas or Friskies. Definitely worth switching!

I looked up Vanilla extract 16 oz 2 pack $32.99 Maple syrup same price $14.99
Pretty sure I'm going to this exact costco next week and specifically was hoping to stock up on butter. About $1.50 cheaper than I've found in my town. Good to know

From iowa❤😊
Subscribed! I’m from BC too 😁
My cream cheese always crumbles when I take it out of the freezer. I have tried with the Philadelphia brand and the great value brand.
Hmmm, I’m not sure what the trick is, but Kirkland freezes well.
@@LittleMountainRanch I'll have to try that.
Great haul. I was at Costco today and stuck to the list. It tends to cost me a small fortune
Costco's Kirkland Signature Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil has won best in many categories. It may be cheaper than the one you purchased. Just an FYI.
Oh wow on the Vanilla. I love that one but here in Ontario at Costco it does not come two pack only one and it is 17.99. That is fantastic. Ok so the Franks Hot sauce her for two pack runs about the same, and when on sale is 7.99 which they do often so I grab it them. Oh yes on the Chicago mix. 6.99 here. Same price on the Annies 19.99. The butter here 4.99 a block. Love the pantry as always what a wonderful feeling. hugs

I’m sure having a Costco 31/2 hrs away it must be a great appreciation for their prices compared to regular grocery stores in your area especially when feeding such a large family? I thoroughly enjoy seeing what all you purchase and different products then I’ve ever tried. I try to stay away from packaged foods because of all the preservatives in them even the organic ones can have additives that I can’t pronounce or I don’t know what they are. I couldn’t believe the cost of the groceries on the final tally because there were no cleaning products, no toiletry items and next to no meat!!! It’s INSANE the prices of everything!!! You would think at least half of your grocery shopping should be in protein or meat and you had hardly any. I know when I’m not buying meat in my groceries and I think what did I buy for all that money?!? You didn’t even have eggs the expense of eggs or cheese or milk (cream cheese but still) ugh! I think it’s a travesty when it costs so much and you get sooo little, no flour, very little baking products except vanilla and coconut oil. Sorry it costs sooo much and I fear it’s only going to get worse, honestly I don’t know how families are going to survive??? Sooo terribly sad the prices. From one Canadian to another wishing you all the best! 🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦
Honey, I think the mindset of a stocked pantry making the world an easier place to live in is from being hungry as a child. I know that my sister and I both have a thing about a stocked pantry. We’re from South Carolina, so, it’s not just a Canadian thing.
Pet food in the USA has gone up. We have Sam's & Costco in Indiana & our Sam's is cheaper than Costco. Organic food is expensive here so as a single mom I buy non organic.
I was wondering how you keep track of prices so that you know when something is a good deal or not? x
