- Heading to our Alaskan Costco to fill up our long term food pantry! This was the biggest grocery haul I've ever done. Alaska can be sketchy so we are doing a bit of food storage prepping. Hope you find the Costco haul interesting. :)

About us
We are a young family living life in Alaska. We got married at 18 and 19. I had our first baby at 19, and our second 2 years later. I am a mom of 5 by day, as I work as a Nanny. Samuel is working as a structural engineer while taking grad classes.
I've been buying a years worth of toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, laundry detergent, etc for the last 16 years. I was definitely glad I've done that when Covid happened. I was able to share with those I love.
That’s great you were able to share! One of the great parts of being prepared.
Same here 👍 when a lot of people panicked we had enough food and other item’s for about 5 months 👍
Same here I was able to give away paper products and other items to family and friends when the pandemic started I did not need to rush out and buy anything
im the kind of guy who always stack up cause my mother raise me that way..i just stack way more stuff..loll im still on some ''best bofore2016 supplies'' loll best thing to always have is''boost or ensure'' its a meal and its liquid too
When the TP craze hit like you said after covid started, all we had was 8 rolls total in the house lol. We were able to snag a couple cheap rolls from work, but eventually found a box from Amazon luckily.
We built a cold storage in our basement and filled it. Lived off it for two months when my husband was off work due to an injury... SO GLAD WE HAVE IT!! Now, replacing what we use will suck more because of prices.... bigger garden this year, and adding more fruit trees will help a ton. Getting creative and looking at WW2 recipes is super helpful!
Your children are beautiful. I thank God my children are grown, I can’t imagine the stress and worry raising children now. Prayers for us all in these uncertain times.
Thank you! Being a parent is definitely the hardest job there is! Just trying to do my best… 😊
@@frozentogethervlogs It is a hard job -- but the most important job you will ever have!
January 2020 we had a meeting with our older children and told them to start stocking up as well. They all listen and did a great job. It felt good to know my family had what they needed. Very cool to see you and your mom running into each other!
That was a great idea! It relieves so much stress knowing you are prepared and your family will be ok. We feel blessed we were able to prepare. 😊 hope you guys got through the past 2 years ok!
I started stocking up 2nd half of Jan 2020. In early Feb, near my deceased husband's birthday and our anniversary, I could hear his voice say, as clear as day, to make up boxes of preps for our two sons and their partners. The oldest one thought I was bat shit crazy and refused to take them. Weeks later, his partner came for a visit and said my son was getting a bit stroppy because he could not find what he wanted at the supermarket ( as the great shelf emptying had begun) His partner said that he if he had taken what I offered that would have meant that I was right. I agreed and then I told her if she took the stuff he could still save face. I told her to back up her car to my garage and load it up what I had packed for them. 6 large tubs.
The second son came to me when he could not find canned tomatoes, pasta or sugar at the store. I told him that as I didn't know what he and his partner liked to eat, to sort through what was there and to take what he wanted and leave the rest. I told him I would grab what he was looking for if I was out shopping.
Now things are getting short again here. (Australia) and we have planted a veggie garden. Still have full fridges and full food pantry.
@@margaretsmith8999 parents know best! 🙂 good luck with your veggie garden.
We have a really well stocked pantry and house now too, my family thinks I’m a little silly, but they see the validity behind. It’s come in handy plenty of times, and I like being prepared for peace of mind. Michigan snow storms are no joke!
Yes, peace of mind is priceless! Knowing my family will be ok for a long time feels good. Bad weather can really effect a lot!
Plus it’s nice spending less time and money shopping because I buy in bulk. 🙂
When you run out of something on your regular pantry pull from your long term then replace into your long-term so nothing expires or goes bad . Rotate thru it is the best way.
That’s a great idea! Thanks!
I couponed for quite awhile before covid started was so glad I did. Your mom taking the kids while you shop is just great! Shopping without kids is such a more peaceful experience. I love my daughter of course but shopping with her isn't my favorite. My daughter too always tried to stand up in the cart the second I turned my back to grab something, so nerve wracking.
It is so nice! When I was a babysitter I never got why someone would pay me so they could shop instead of doing something fun. I get it now 😅
I used to coupon so much I could have been on one of those extreme couponer shows but my X husband worked at a recycle center so I was able to get all the coupons I wanted and I would take them to the store in the next town over and the guy would let me order cases of stuff knowing that I would come back the next week and only pay tax my girls are 40 and 45 and they still have friends who still talk about my grocery store in the basement but if anybody needed anything all they had to do was come and take it was more of a game to me than anything else 2 see how much I could get free.
I had the same gut feeling her husband did too. I remember one morning in early Feb 2020 just having a gut feeling that I needed to haul butt to Costco and stock up on TP, water, non perishables etc. Human instinct is a marvellous thing!
I got covid March 2020 days before lockdown was announced in UK my husband can't go out to shop, our fridge was empty even before I was allowed to go out... this has taught me a lesson... be prepared always...watching from UK
That’s scary, sorry you had to go though that! Cool to hear from the UK! ☺️
True 👍 I hope you doing well now 🙏 greetings here from your neighbor overseas Denmark
I am isolating at the moment.. caught covid last week.. pantry is full. Keep safe everyone
@@ivywilliams4258 Get well soon 🙏 and stay safe
@@grop66 thanks....
I live in the U.K. and always have a stocked food cupboard and freezers! You just never know who is going to drop over for dinner!
Love your sledge idea!
Yes, it’s always nice to have an easy/nice dinner ready to be made. We have most people over last minute 😅 I’m not a big planner 😂
He he I thought I was the only grandmother who “stole” my grandchildren, so my daughter can shop in peace 🤣🥰 thanks for sharing ❤️👍greetings here from Denmark 🇩🇰
That’s awesome, I’m sure your daughter loves the break! I definitely love having some help from grandparents 💕
@@frozentogethervlogs yes she is really happy 😃 👍 also my grandchildren because they normally get something nice, a treat or a toy… I can’t stop spoiling them 🤣
You’re so so lucky ❤️🙏🏻💕
My mom passed away and I miss her every day. Please squeeze your moms and grandmas for an extra moment for me💕
@@carmelita4855 I’m so sorry! 😔
@@carmelita4855 I’m so sorry 🙏 my mother also passed and I miss her too.
I’m with your dad! I was telling my husband we need to stock up, he didn’t think so. Finally one day he messaged me from work and goes “go stock up.” I loaded the kids up within 10 minutes and stocked up, we were good for months.
Also, grandma for the win! I usually take my mother in law with me when I go shopping too and she takes one kid and I take the other, helps so much! You’re doing great!
Also, my daughter also takes her shoes and socks off, she just turned 2 in September, I totally get it!
Glad you were able to stock up! What was the best item you stocked up in?
Grandmas are great! Plus it’s more fun to shop with someone.
Thanks for getting it. 🙂 just because she wasn’t wearing them in the video doesn’t mean she didn’t have them with her. 🙄 I know it’s winter and I know how to keep my kids warm. 😊
@@frozentogethervlogs It was mostly canned goods, pasta, pasta sauce. At the time I had a four month old and an almost 2 year old so I also stocked up on diapers, wipes and formula
Aww your mom seems like the sweetest
Thanks, she really is! 💕
Aww, your kids are adorable. I miss my girls being that age. I don’t miss chasing them around the store anymore, though!
Yes, chasing them around gets exhausting! I try to keep them in the cart, but that doesn’t always work…. 🤷♀️
Storing food is a good idea. Canned goods last a long time too.
You are such an amazing mom
I feel like crying to see how much efforts given for the sake of family
Thanks for the encouragement! I’m trying to do the best that I can. 🙂
I've been stocking up for 40 + years so I've always had a lot of laundry soap cleaning supplies paper products and food didn't have to go out when the pandemic started and get anything was able to help family and friends with a few things
That’s awesome! For some reason some people think I’m not willing to share what I’ve stocked up on. And that’s kind of the whole point of stocking up…to make sure my family and friends will be OK when there is a shortage.
OMG! I was telling my husband the other day that Hazel is one of my favorite girl/female names! Love it!
Thanks! I really love it too 💕
Love that Costco has a lot of Organic options!
Yes, me too! And for about the same price as non organic other places!
I'm so grateful store have been stocked up for a while now. I do instacart at Costco and have a costco membership myself and love love love it!
Yes, the kids love Costco too… all the taste tests to try while shopping 🙂
Your mom seems so sweet !🥺
She really is! 💕 thanks for watching 😊
His voice is so sweet it melts my heart I miss my son being this small when he gets older you will look back and cry how cute there voices where I do and get him his strawberry ice cream
He has changed so much already! I love the new stages but it’s sad too.
@@frozentogethervlogs god bless you beautiful family
We are always prepared/stocked due to weather, and natural events where we live.
Beautiful sky. Thanks for leaving it in the vid
I love our winter sky when it’s getting light 💕
I did a double grocery haul last month to stock up for the winter and for the pandemic I spent about $900 and I'm going to do another grocery haul in February to finish getting the stuff I didn't get
I love it how you get so much organic stuff. I wish we had as much organic stuff at Costco in Australia, but I am grateful for what I can get.
I love that the organic options aren’t as expensive as other stores! Definitely a blessing 😊
Hi Margaret, I’m from Melbourne and wish we could purchase some of the items shown in these videos. I asked a manager why we don’t get the same variety. He said that at times they are not able to import a lot of products. Not sure how true this is given what we can buy from international food shops 🤷♀️🤷♀️
@@clairewright8153 I think it might depend on what people in your area are interested in buying too… when Costco was Sams, one of the employees said they sold the most coconut oil in the nation! And we always have coconut oil at Costco 😅 that’s frustrating you can’t get everything you want though… 😕
I'm honestly quite impress if all that came out to be $650+. I wish there was as cost co near me, it would make my introverted life so much easier when I came come out of hibernation once every few months.
The dark 90! 😭 We get down to about 8 hours of daylight and I really don’t like it. Oliver is a sweetheart. And Hazel is a cutie! What a great stock up you’ve got going! I’m sure it brings some relief. So nice that your mom was there! 🥰
I remember the first year the darkness bothered me… definitely isn’t easy. Yes, it’s nice shopping with my Mom since the kids always want to ride with her 🤣
@@frozentogethervlogs I felt like that was a burden lifted to have them ride in her cart instead. :)
They are the cutest kids!
Thanks, I think so too. 💕😊
It very clever to stocked up cause you will never know. I gradually started build to my small family pantry with items. But everything is so expensive as right now but blessing of God I will managed somehow.
Thank you for this video...I never take from the top either on things. 🙂
Me and my husband has invested in a deep freezer it has been a life saver with all that’s going on with shortages
Yes, they are great to have! Love ours!
Wow this was surprisingly interesting to me. This video appeared on my suggested feed… thanks for sharing!
Great job for stocking up! I think we’re all doing that at this time.
Not a bad idea to be prepared 🙂
I love how healthy you buy! vibes
I’m trying. 😅 definitely not easy though… especially if I’m hungry when I shop. 🤣
Good job! Looking out for family! It’s not a crazy amount of emergency food. Some people have 2 big freezers and more shelf’s . Great job!
When I was living in Canada by myself I always stocked up on toilet paper and sanitary products (way before covid). The reason for that is one time long long time ago I was out of sanitary pad AND toilet paper (how crazy coincidence is that) and it was such a mess! I promised myself never again 😂😂😂
Omg I found this so satisfying!!
loved your haul
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
My boyfriend and I save a lot of money shopping at Costco for just the two of us. Recently we were both sick at the same time and had to buy some things from the local shops and were shocked at the prices! We use a lot of fresh-to-frozen food and we also buy meat and freeze portions until needed. Costco has so many healthy options that store well, and one of my favorite things is the pre-packaged cooked rice to make easy meals quickly so we are less tempted to eat out. We don't have an extra freezer, unfortunately, or I would probably stock up more. I do make good use of the space we have, though, for things like when meat is on sale. We do have a large pantry, so whenever possible I try to get dry goods.
Nice to see that it’s safe to take your kids grocery shopping. My toddler has never been to a grocery because of the pandemic 😞
Oh I’m sorry. That has to be hard to get to the store then!
Thanks!!🥰
That Costco did not seem to be very busy . Nice.
It’s rarely crazy inside. Thankful for that!
Wow nice groucry shopping
Just found you on UA-cam, can't wait to see your videos 😀❤
Thanks 😊 glad you are excited!
Oh, I'm so happy you have food, Your little girl doesn't have shoes! 🥺
Your costco is FULLY stocked on everything wow what a dream
Thankfully it has been pretty good, but since filming this, there have been days with empty sections. It hasn't been a long term problem though, so that's a blessing.
@@frozentogethervlogs awesome! Love that i found your channel. Very cool to see how people live lives from different parts of the country. I miss the cold weather coming from the east coast.
Safe travels from a “van lifer” currently in California!
@@gottahaveawawa7494 oh how fun! Hope you do ok with the crazy gas prices! Ours skyrocketed over night… 😳
Following from Wisconsin
in MI it still surprises me to find some folks don't have a minimal pantry of dry and canned goods given how unpredictable the weather can be here in winter. even more crazy is when folks drive around with no winter boots, and coats in their car. yeah like their car would never break down or get stuck in snow. crazy!
Yes, I keep a full set of snow gear for the kids in the car. Always good to have.
I think the modern culture of 'instant gratification' has some help in that .... as a culture in most (not all) of the lower 48, we are used to going out and getting whatever we want when we want and/or order it from Amazon for overnight delivery! We don't have to be concerned with weather delaying our once-a-week delivery!
nice family you have, stay safe always 😇
I shop the same way, The "what if's"
That's great u are stocking up, especially with having little ones. Have you considered doing a "long term" 20-30 years food storage like; dry Rice, beans, lentils, oatmeal, dry milk, sugar, wheat berries, salt, spices, freeze dried fruit & vegetables. You can buy a 50 pound bag of rice at Sam's club for 23 bucks. Then you store it in mylar bags with oxygen observer in 5 galon food grade buckets. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND EVERY FAMILY TO DO THIS., AND TO RESEARCH "LONG TERM FOOD STORAGE " so you do it properly , it's very easy.
We are slowly working that way. It will be nice if we can have a little more space someday to get it set up well.
We go to Costco twice a month. We stock up real good, sometimes like extreme couponers. We have 2 closets half a garage and a walk in pantry we get stocked up, due to the pandemic we have alot of elderly people in our community here in Vegas that are either unable to get to the store all the time or is to scared to go into the public so we would stock up of dry foods, personal care bs, and almond milk cereals, rice etc and go around with a list of items we bought extra and ask them if they need to purchase anything so they don't have to leave their homes and sale them the items so it's like a lil personal shopper type of bs. My kids wanted to help during the pandemic/ quarantine. We usually also recieve coupons for diapers and formula and there's a women a couple of houses down that has triplets and her husband is stationed 6 months out of the yr in different states so anything helps for her. You know if ppl help out ea other not saying we have to help out everyone but if we just try to help ppl whom are unable to help themselves because of this bs pandemic it would be a better world if you ask me....
That’s great you take the time to help other people out! The world needs more helpers 😊
Sounds like you have a pretty nice set up!
@@frozentogethervlogs we do and we really do need more helpers in the world. I can't really explain the feeling when we help our neighbors its just I guess u can say I feel wholesome and I feel like we've done something great for others. Let's just say we would be ok during another quarantine lol
Grab a deep cycle interstate battery, they are awesome!
Aaaa your kids its so cuteeeee ❤️ I love it
Thanks! 💕
I used to work at Costco.
Customers like you are their fave.
Stay safe and warm and cool.
Well they seem to like my kids at least…even if they make a mess of the samples 😅🤣 thanks!
Time for a LTO battery, Lithium Titanite, they work well in cold weather states!
New subscriber. Great Costco stock up haul.
Thanks! Glad to have you. 🙂
Great haul
Thanks!
*Great video, those prices would be good even in the lower 48. Next time you go pick up a new Interstate AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery if they sell car batteries at your Costco which are usually in the Auto/Tire center. Since I've got mine no more issues with not starting. Yes, it is nice peace of mind to be stocked up just in case, the Scout Motto is "Be Prepared".*
That’s good to know, I haven’t been able to price compare to other places. Glad to know it’s not extra expensive right now!
I’ve never heard of that kind of battery before. I will have to check into them. Thanks
@@frozentogethervlogs @Frozen Together Vlogs *There are only a few car battery manufacturers but many brands like Diehard and Interstate. My Costco (near the "Kirkland" of Kirkland Signature origin) had two versions of Interstate batteries, "good" and "better". The better model is the newer AGM type that is said to have certain benefits including no liquid sloshing around inside. I believe it was $20 more than the other "flooded lead acid" type. Both would probably work fine but if the better one started at some point in the future where the other wouldn't it would be worth the extra. Costco does not install batteries and they may charge a "core" fee ($10-$15) until you return the old battery. I'm glad you were able to rescue your coffee from underneath your purchases...* 8:14
February 2020 I bought a box of 100 masks, my hubby thought I was mad, hah he soon changed his tune, especially when masks were completely sold out by the beginning of April and changing hands for ridiculous amounts of money. Sometimes your instinct kicks in and you have to go with it ...
Haha good instinct! I know my hubby thinks I’m crazy sometimes too 🤣
Wowwww
Deathwish coffee is really good and really strong. They are about $72 for a 5lb bag and do ship to Alaska!! It's my hubby's favorite coffee!
Oh… Samuel will definitely want to try it! I will have to keep it in my mind for a future gift. Thanks!
So cute my kids call my mom G Ma too🤭
You are brave leaving your wallet IN your cart as we have people locally who will purse/wallet snatch from carts… so mine is ALWAYS on me. I would get so anxious 😂
That’s good! I am trying to not leave it anymore. Hard to remember 🙄
@@frozentogethervlogs while you have toddlers, this would be difficult but when they get older and no longer sit in the cart, if you put your bag in the cart (the portion intended for a child to sit) wrap the 'seat belt' around it so someone can't grab and run..... but it is also a good idea to keep it closed at all times :-)
@@emmib1388 that’s a clever idea!
@@frozentogethervlogs it is, but not an original one...read it in a magazine years and years ago -- you were probably a toddler at the time!! lol
Thank you for showing prices! We are in palmer and I'm debating on if costco prices are as great as they claim....
not sure about costco, but sometimes the other warehouse clubs offer a short term membership -- something to consider before making a commitment!
I'm new on your page here it's very good to stock up some stores have empty shelves and toilet paper is a must need
Hi!
Yes, it’s hit or miss at our stores right now. We had a bad storm a month ago…
Man I miss Fairbanks coffee!!! I’m from Fairbanks, we sadly left Alaska a couple years ago
Aww well I hope you like where you are now!
The trick is to just have family members who work retail. So they can tell you when the supplies are in. So you don't have to buy so much.
New viewer. Never watched you before and triple-chin chuckled about the spanking your veggies montage
I had no idea I did it until I edited the video! 🤣
@@frozentogethervlogs new subscriber now 😂 don't worry, no wild expectations. Just like your personality
@@meschahayes1003 haha, thanks 😊
We are faced with no meat, fruit or vegetables and empty shelves of pain relief and toilet paper at the moment in a lot places in Australia.
The new variant has taken out workers out in all sectors of supply chain.
My aunt lives in large city and the only meat in her supermarket was liver. That’s it.
Very wise move to be prepared when there is no issue for when there is an issue.
Rainy day funds pay dividends at some point
That’s not good! Not having medicine would be really hard too!
Hope you guys all do ok.
All the comments from people asking where your daughters shoes are clearly never raised kids. My youngest goes into church every Sunday barefoot 😑 today I remembered to grab her boots out of the van. It's freezing out and she won't leave them on! Clearly she doesn't care 🙃 I love the sled idea. We have a stock up of food too. I was trying to eat through some stuff so stuff doesn't go bad or expire. Now I'm wondering if we need to stock up on more.
Thanks 😊 people can be quick to judge. There aren’t many little ones who like wearing shoes…plus I keep shoes with us just in case 🙃
Yes, I think I need to start eating and replacing our emergency food to keep it in date. Our stores are pretty empty right now, so I’m glad we have it!
@@frozentogethervlogs man that's scary. Glad you went to stock up!!
Ughh.
Don't feel like you have to explain why you buy extra food, supplies, preps, whatever. You do you! When hard times come, and they will, you'll be ahead of a lot of people. I've kept a 2 year supply of toilet paper well before covid hit. I never had to worry about the TP rush of 2020. I also keep a 1 year supply of food and basic hygiene supplies. You should consider storing hard white wheat berries and get a wonder mill or wonder mill jr. to make your own flour. Anyway, hope all is well with you and you are able to store all you need for the coming collapse.
i mean if you have kids, its perfectly reasonable to stock up all essentials. had to stock up water, milk, diaper, medicines and vitamins for my 2 kids
Would suggest doing can veggies bc if you loose power the frozen stuff will go bad.
That’s a good idea. I’m used to the whole outside being a freezer in the winter so, I forget about summer when I actually need to plug the freezer in.
I thought I saw Alaska prepped in your background ❤️❤️❤️he’s awesome!!
I loved how you “ spank your veggies!! I do that too🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰
Haha, I didn’t even realize I was doing it until I edited the video 🤣
I saw him too at check out
I was thinking the same thing.
I randomly came across your channel. We moved to fairbanks in 2021 for the military. What a culture shock lol. We quickly realized how essential it is to stock up. Nothing is guaranteed up here, especially in the winter with bad weather.
Haha I’m sure it was a culture shock! This has been a very crazy winter too…I’ve been here my whole life and this is just crazy!
Wow I noticed you bought Greek products, spanakopita and Greek yogurt. I didnt know they existed in Alaska. Greetings from Greece! ❤️
Greek food is our Nov/Dec treat! 😋 so yummy! The yogurt we buy all year though.
I think you invented a new food lol. Now I have to add Spam the next time I make Tiropita.
you are so pretty!!
Your sweet 😊
New subscriber ❤
I've always been fascinated with Alaska, but doubt I'll ever see it in person. Too much of a home body anyways lol Really enjoyed this video & have subbed. Being prudent is something I've preached since in my 20's it's super important in every area of life! Many blessings 🌼💜🇺🇲
That’s the cool thing about UA-cam! You can visit from afar. Glad to have you here ☺️
@@frozentogethervlogs indeed! Thanks 🌼💜🇺🇲
This should be common practice in rural areas. I grew up stocked up and because I live rural, I was already prepared for 2020 before it was ever a thing. I still don't get the toilet paper rush though. I hear it's because people had to eat their own cooking. Who knows? Either way, the family pack I got for my birthday, as a joke, a month before lockdown lasted my family till summer.
Haha! I hadn’t heard it’s because people had to eat their own cooking! Too funny 😂
Glad you were well stocked!
Lined cans in long-term prepping: PFAS, PFOA?
You are one of three Alaskan's I watch ...Simply Living Alaska is good you may want to contact them for building a simple garden for like tomatoes to $$$ on tomato paste, sauce and making your own salsa this year. Good luck with the current weather and stuff. Be careful
Oh yes, I would love to learn more about making and storing my own stuff!
Thanks for watching! Glad to have you 🙂
@@frozentogethervlogs check in with SomersinAlaska, Simple Living Alaska and Ana White diy...she makes stuff like organizers that could help your cool room :)
I can't believe how not busy it is at that Costco. I guess that depends on the day. But you should see our Costco. It looks like Black Friday! It's insane!
Really? That sounds stressful to shop in! Where do you live?
We live in Phoenix, AZ. It's super super stressful. I just take a deep breath at the door.....and go.....fast. Hahahaha
I did that no one believed me and I'm from Hawaii we've dealt with war, oil shortages/embargo, natural disasters, drunk drivers taking out the power for 8 hours so my emergency instincts are kind of high so I bought up stuff for myself and two family members in March a month later panic shopping and the words we all dread hit.
I’m glad you were able to be prepared! I thought Hawaii was supposed to be strictly paradise 😉🏝
@@frozentogethervlogs Lol the food is paradise highly recommend to try local foods.
So are you buying because of the weather or because of the pandemic from a couple of years ago?
My family always laughed esp the grown kids, Nanas freezer always full of meat.Now in Adelaide Australia we are lucky if any meat on shelves, who's laughing now lol
Yes! Glad you are taken care of!
I spank my veggies to lol, I'd be tired hauling all that food to but at least y'all are all set....stay safe
My arms definitely got a work out!
Hi🤗
Happy New Year 2022💐🌠💐🌠💐💞💞
Thanks! Hope you have a great year!
@@frozentogethervlogs yup 👍 and you welcome 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕💕💕💕
Not much in the pantry or long term storage. Is there food elsewhere?
I never make a list cause I never stick to them lol
I stocked up for Brexit prep. Thank God I did. Didn't need it for Brexit but come COVID it got us through!
I mid March 2020 I was reading the news and that day I decided I needed to go to Costco. The very next day they announced all the shut downs and the stores were a complete mad house.
Just in time! Not fun to be in the middle of craziness!
Thank .I like video 🇱🇰💯❣️
Like, even Prego, which seems like just about the most innocuous thing you bought, even that is the spaghetti sauce most known for being high in sugar.
Yes, that’s true. Really annoying and sneaky… I have made my own from scratch, but would like to learn how to jar it to make it last longer.
Sugar is added to too much stuff 😓
Hey, I love big supermarket hauls and I really enjoyed this haul!! But I want to ask something. Since it is really cold out there, did you put some stuff outside in a box that what you bought from Costco? Or was it a freezer that was just outside? I am really curious lol
Both 😁 we have 2 chest freezers outside. (We hunt and fish so we need a little more space) We keep them unplugged in the winter, it just protects the food from animals. But 1 of them is new so it is still in the box and we use it like that. 🤣
Sometimes I get lazy and just put the food right outside our front door… 😅 try not to though.
@@frozentogethervlogs Oh now I understand lol 😁😁 Thank you!!
Should consider getting a portable battery jumper. Sucks to be stranded
That’s a really good idea.
@@frozentogethervlogs I was stranded in an HEB parking lot and a stranger helped me out. I got one soon after that and I’ve been able to return the favor for others without worrying about messing up my car.
My husband too he had me stock up in January 2020 and everyone in my family was like you are exaggerating
