Jen…you should know that you bring so much joy to those of us in your UA-cam community. I’m going through some difficult things in my personal life including the recent loss of my sweet dog and health issues with my mom. I smiled throughout your entire video and just adore how your dogs always get involved in the mayhem! 😂 Your vlogs have always been my favorite and especially enjoyed your advent calendars this year. Look forward to relaxing with you throughout this stressful month!
Oh that little Sadie face when she was relaxing on the forbidden bed! 😍 She could convince me to give her whatever she wanted with that adorable face! We are just a house of cats now (which I love dearly) but have had pups over the years and we do miss them. Thank you for sharing all your adorable pups so we can love them too. 💜🐾
Toast-When the barrel is being constructed the Cooper, barrel-maker, heats the planks of the barrels to curve them into a barrel shape - this is called toasting. The amount of toast the finished barrel receives impart different aromas and flavors into the finished wines.
I LOVE THE BRAUNS!!! Jessica’s channel was the first channel I ever started watching regularly about 10 years ago. Then Tyler started his channel, and I’ve stayed subscribed/following them as their family has grown throughout the years and it makes me so happy💜
Hello from Massachusetts! When it’s 43 degrees here in December, I have my morning coffee on the deck😂. I’m enjoying your vlogmas and your Merrytime cruise videos. Life has been a bit challenging lately and your videos somehow help to calm the chaos in my head. Thank you❤.
One more thing. ( so sorry to bother you) You should get a noodleboard for your stovetop to protect it while not in use. You can get one custom made that the underside is raised to cover the knobs too. We had ours crack when something was accidentally dropped on it and they are pricey to replace. We got our on Etsy as they are fantastic with custom. You could take pictures of your stove top and give them measurements. Probably get it done for under $100. ❤ Or.. if anyone in your family is handy, they can easily be made. ❤
My gosh, the dogs! LOVE the dogs! 😍Miss Sadie got a little sass in her doesn't she? 😂 I love how Lenny just follows you around and watch you work, so sweet! And Scooby wanted to play while you were busy! 😆 We live smack down between two Costcos that have different sales tax rates, so generally we go to the one w/ the lower tax rate to save a little money but also because that one is a lot less crazy/crowded. I notice that some items their pricing are slightly different between the two. Once in awhile I would catch certain items at the one w/ the lower sales tax is a few cents more than the other one. But overall, they are about the same. We also use Costco car rentals and Travel. We just went on a Uniworld World river cruise that was booked through Costco Travel, and we are getting $700 Costco Cash card (executive member benefit) just for booking w/ them! I've also booked Disneyland packages w/ them before, and received Disney giftcards that we could use during our trip. They are the same price as booking directly with Disney, but the Disney gift card was the big perk for booking w/ Costco Travel. Absolutely worth the executive membership!
Another beautiful video. You are such a joy to watch. I am German, born and raised in Heidelberg, but I have lived in the Atlanta area since 1994 and the last 27 years in East Cobb. I go to Costco to get the basic essentials just like you, paper towels, toilet paper, butter- but only because the have the best gras fed from New Zealand, Kirkland brand- , coffee , eggs, fruits and veggies , some snacks…. And I am always pretty happy with the prizes. I usually shop the Costco at Town Center or the one off 575 near Woodstock Outlet Mall. Thank you again for your sweet Christmastime vlogs, can’t wait to watch the next ones 😍
Hi Jen. You are so real and inspiring. I love your channel and loved showing us your Costco haul. Their paper towels are the BEST! I'll have to try those cinnamon rolls. I never go with a list and often shop online and yes, guilty of coming home with more than I "needed". I have a rule when I shop at TJMaxx which is never get a cart then you only buy what you can carry! 🙂
I always seem to buy a few items not on my shopping lists! 😂 I agree, I don’t mind the shopping but when I’ve got it home I’ve had enough and as you say the putting things away is my least favourite part of the process! Really enjoying your advent calendars. I’m in Sutton Coldfield in The West Midlands in England. Xx
Loving the Advent calendars. They're not really a thing where I'm from but would love to get a few maybe next year. I really enjoy seeing your dogs, they're so cute and cuddly!
I'm from South Florida (Palm Beach County). Have lived here for 42 years. But I went to college (back in the early 70's) in Atlanta (Emory). Some Costco trips we restrain ourselves quite well and others not so much. A few iof the items we'll only buy at Costco: their top rated Kirkland Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Kirkland Organic Balsamic Vinegar, almonds, walnuts, liquid dish detergent, dishwasher pods, contact lens solution, vitamins, toothpaste, Dove soap. We are also huge fans of Aldi and that is our grocery store of choice for most of our produce, frozen foods and canned goods.
I totally feel you and totally believe being a homeowner is glamorized sometimes 😂 my husband and I bought our first home in 2020 so we feel like we’re gonna die in this house, but miss renting during times like having roof leaks/repairs, hot water heater replacement, pipes burst during the January freeze, the list goes on. 🥲
Hello from England 🙋🏼♀️ loving the advent calendars. I’m living vicariously through your vlogs. I bought an empty Liberty’s advent calendar (£10 from Marketplace) and now I refill the drawers with Lindt chocolates for hubby and I (£9) trying to be relatively sensible 😂.
Ugh, $500 for a new garbage disposal and install?? GAH! Although, I've installed them before and it's super hard, especially if it's a big disposal. I have neck problems and need a shoulder replaced now, so I'd have to get the plumber in to do it if it falls off like the first one did. Your kitchen is lovely! So pretty and big. My kitchen would fit in 1/4 of yours. I've never heard of a down draft stove top before. I'll have to look it up. Take care, Jen ❤. I'm so enjoying seeing so much of you this holiday season. ✨🎄✨
Hi Jen. From Manchester, UK here. Our Costco prices appear the same for most things, but you guys get the paper towels cheaper!! (By a few dollars so not too much!!) Love the vids!!
Hi from Maryland. No Costco close to where we live. My daughter got me the candle advent calendar. So far I’ve burned the pumpkin spice one. It’s lovely. I’m enjoying your vlogs.
Hi from Charleston, SC! I always come home with more than I intended when I go to Costco. I do hate bringing in my items and putting them away. Atlanta prices seem comparable to Charleston! I love seeing the Advent calendars. I hope to get one for myself next year. Happy Holidays!
It’s freezing here in Savannah too! Your haul was almost identical to mine minus the coffee and crackers. The prices seem about the same, but that isn’t surprising since we are both in GA.
Ontario Canada here,1lb of butter in Costco is approx $5.49,Costcos can have different items from city to city! love your Vlogmas & all your advent calendars…we are enjoying our Winter here in Florida,we tend to shop at BJ’s which is very similar to Costco for bulk items..Happy Holiday!🇨🇦😎
Definitely need to increase the moisturizers this time of year. We're in Ma and it is little colder than usual this week. Once the glovemitts come out, I wear them until April 😂 I even wear t work sometimes since the mitten part comes off and they into fingerless gloves. Love having warm hands. Also, love watching the pups!!!
I have great self control at Costco except at Christmas!!!!! That price for butter is what we pay for 1 here in Ontario, Canada. I want to try those cinnamon buns.
Charlotte NC area. That same day it was 19 here. Thought my daughter was joking till I asked google myself. My dog did about the same thing then cried at the door when I called him crazy and came in without him.
I’m from Delaware. It’s super cold here this week too. I really want to move to Florida eventually. I need warmth year round. You are fun to listen to. The Costco prices looked good.
Hello from Québec! I was actually astonished at the price of the butter! With the current exchange rate, your 4x454g of butter at 6.99$ US ends up being about 10.50$ CAD, meanwhile, 1x454g of butter here, not on sale, can go up to 8$ CAD, so around 5.70$ US! So it’s like a 2 for 1 deal 😂 I am loving watching your videos, your content brings me joy ❤
I have way too many voices . . . I blame all my years of community theater as a kid but it's fun when I can find a use for them that isn't just annoying my husband.
There is no Costco in the city I live in but one block of that butter would be $6.99 in my supermarket in New Zealand. I pay around $40 for a kilo of good quality coffee beans but can get cheaper for $20. I don't like the cold either but fortunately in my part of New Zealand it is forcast to get to 30 degrees celcius today because it is summer.
Iam from Montreal, Canada. And Costco usa is cheaper than Canada. I just went to the Vermont location Saturday couldn’t believe some of the prices. Love the advant calendars so fun
Hello from Melbourne, Australia. I also watch Jessica and Tyler Braun... "Welcome to the cutting board!". We do have Costco here, but I'm not a member so can't compare prices.
Considering I get a small snack size bag of Chex Mix for nearly $4 at Walgreens and you got that big bag for not much more than that, I think those prices are awesome. Plus, the batteries are at least double that price in regular stores.
Wow! That sounds very dear for what you brought. I would live to have a look around a Costco. We do have then here in the Uk..I think there’s one in Southampton…I would end up with a lot of things I didn’t know I didn’t need. I hate the putting away I shop monthly although I don’t know why I still do anymore it’s just hubby and I now and I work at the supermarket!
Hello Jen! I live in a small town in Wisconsin and unfortunately have never been to Costco. One recently opened a couple hours away so I may have to check it out sometime.
I'm in South Philadelphia, PA, and I'm also cold when it's 43! Cold is cold. The closest Costco is across the river in NJ so we go to BJ's instead. But prices seem comparable. Their coupons are fantastic and a must because we have three young sons. And we have to be smart because there's not a lot of storage in city homes.
Hi! I'm a Canadian from Alberta but I live in Northern Japan. We just did a Costco run on Sunday...We don't have many of the same products here..we do have the bathroom tissue...it costs about ¥2500 which Siri tells me is about $16.65 US. For our little Japanese house, storage space is a premium and we don't have a separate freezer, so it is hard to buy perishables in large quantities.
Orlando 💙😀🌈 I love the idea of these Advent calendars. We are decluttering and anti-stuff for the holidays. Looking for monthly subscriptions for fun surprises throughout the year. Would appreciate your suggestions if you have any 😀
Costco prices are higher when ordered on line for delivery. It does say on their web site that prices may be lower in warehouse. Sometimes I’ve noticed an $2-3 difference per item. I am from Illinois. I shop in the Chicago suburbs.
I'm in Birmingham, Alabama not too far from ATL. We have one Costco which is out in the suburb of Hoover and our prices are probably about the same as yours. The store is always very busy so we don't go very often. I always buy Bounty paper towels so I'll have to try those Kirkland ones. It's unusually cold here too!
Costco has a really good wine advent calendar also. Theirs has half bottles which is great for a couple. Regarding Costco prices, a couple of times I have even found a slight difference in prices between 2 Costcos in San Antonio Texas.
I live in Alaska, and the Italian bread price is the same as were the prices for the salads. I have never seen Annie's cinnamon rolls, I'll look. I do know the Costco in San Bernardino, CA, carries some produce items we don't get.
Beckmann 1802 started in Sharon Springs, NY and their original store is there called the Kindness Shop. They moved their HQ to Schenectady, NY a few years ago because they have been growing so much. Many years ago there was a series on the former Green Channel called “The Fabulous Beekman Boys” showing their lives at the beginning of their company. Josh and Brent later went on to win the Amazing Race and were able to pay off their farm’s mortgage. They are super nice.
I’m in north Idaho. I avoid Costco whenever possible and when I do go, I don’t look at prices because I’m too busy trying to just get out. 😂 Temps are in the mid-30s here and I’m freezing. I hate cold weather but can’t relocate yet.
I live in Northwest Indiana, less than an hour from Chicago. Your Costco prices seem very comparable to ours here. I love Costco and their return policy. I've found very good deals on clothes and been pleased with the quality.
Costco haul…. The price of butter in America is amazing! I live in Canada on the West Coast and I would pay that amount for one brick of butter. (Approximately 2 cups) OMG!!!!
@@janeryan8871 Well when I overdue gluten (like on a cruise) my joints hurt more for sure so I'm going to approach it with a little more discipline and see? My doctor feels like it will work.
Sadie wants to stay outside but only if you are also outside, so you need to go put on a warm coat, hat, scarf and gloves and take a book and sit with her :)
TYPO ALERT!! THE COSTCO BUTTER was actually $14.99. Still a great price but not as low as I said. SORRY!

@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge It was new to me as well. Had to look it up! 😉
I hope you do a video of the oats in slow cooker.
YES I promise! It's so easy and so yummy. Especially good when you have house guests.

So much Jen in December. I know you can’t keep this up but I feel spoiled with this many vlogs!

I have the Lancome, Bloomingdale's, Harrod's and See's calendars this year. Gave my sons and husband the ManCrate beef advent calendar. 🎄
How's the See's calender? I saw reviews on the See's site saying it was kind of stingy on the chocolates so I didn't get it.
I always seem to buy a few items not on my shopping lists! 😂 I agree, I don’t mind the shopping but when I’ve got it home I’ve had enough and as you say the putting things away is my least favourite part of the process!
Really enjoying your advent calendars.

I love that you did the Costco haul. I’m enjoying Vlogmas so far!!❤❤

Hi from Rhode Island! Love your content Jen. Getting spoiled with the extra vlogs 🙂
Seriously I don't know what's happening but as I say in TODAY'S don't get used to it because surely I cannot keep this up 😂😂😂And thank you!
I agree putting the stuff away is the worst part. I do delivery often and it's always a mess to get it all put away.

Fun video Jen. The house looks lovely.
My husband, the baker in the family, doesn’t like the Costco butter. But we do love lots of Kirkland products. Almonds, great buy!!
Freezing butter is a great idea.
Ooo your crockpot oatmeal recipe sounds amazing and cozy… love to try it if you get the time to share ❤
Yes I promise I’ll share soon!
Love watching all the Advent calendar goodies! I’m from Tennessee, right outside Nashville.
Hi from Maryland. No Costco close to where we live. My daughter got me the candle advent calendar. So far I’ve burned the pumpkin spice one. It’s lovely. I’m enjoying your vlogs.
I love Vlogmas! I am loving all the videos! Thanks for the entertainment! Also I love the bathroom cameo.
She really is her own character….
Your Scott is a true treasure. 🙂 And, this vlog is only enhanced by squeaky, er, I mean Scooby. 😂 oh, and the cuticle issue- same. 😬

Hello from Québec! I was actually astonished at the price of the butter! With the current exchange rate, your 4x454g of butter at 6.99$ US ends up being about 10.50$ CAD, meanwhile, 1x454g of butter here, not on sale, can go up to 8$ CAD, so around 5.70$ US! So it’s like a 2 for 1 deal 😂

Costco has a really good wine advent calendar also. Theirs has half bottles which is great for a couple.
Regarding Costco prices, a couple of times I have even found a slight difference in prices between 2 Costcos in San Antonio Texas.
Seriously? That's bizarre! And yeah I got the Costco one last year and didn't love it? I will give it another try next year maybe.
High of 55 here in Northwest Florida (Pensacola). It's a crazy early December!
Right? Coldest I can remember!
We call Costco the $200 store. Lol
I live in Alaska, and the Italian bread price is the same as were the prices for the salads. I have never seen Annie's cinnamon rolls, I'll look. I do know the Costco in San Bernardino, CA, carries some produce items we don't get.
They're really good, Donna, so you should check!
Sadly I'm not close to either of the main bulk stores. Sam's is a bit closer than Costco, but still 45 minutes.
Yeah we are very spoiled with our options here.
I live just outside of DC 🇺🇸
Michigan - Costco prices seem in line with ours.
Barrie, Ontario, Canada.
A bag of 3 lb bag of almonds at our Costco is $18.99 cdn (about 13.50 USD).
“But mom, I’ve got this thick fur coat!”. 🐕
Honestly, she's like a polar bear!
Costco in Portland Oregon costs $14.99 for the butter! A lot less in your area. It’s shot up in the least couple of years.
Yeah see my pinned comment. I had the price wrong!😑
My sister just bought an induction cook top with a downdraft. So they do exist!
There is one from IKEA but sadly it wasn’t the right size for our opening and we didn’t want to have to cut our granite.
Beekman 1802 has office in Orlando between the airport and the Disney parks! Not sure if that is their headquarters, but I notice it every time.
Interesting! Maybe that's their processing facility?
Beckmann 1802 started in Sharon Springs, NY and their original store is there called the Kindness Shop. They moved their HQ to Schenectady, NY a few years ago because they have been growing so much. Many years ago there was a series on the former Green Channel called “The Fabulous Beekman Boys” showing their lives at the beginning of their company. Josh and Brent later went on to win the Amazing Race and were able to pay off their farm’s mortgage. They are super nice.
I’m in north Idaho. I avoid Costco whenever possible and when I do go, I don’t look at prices because I’m too busy trying to just get out. 😂
Temps are in the mid-30s here and I’m freezing. I hate cold weather but can’t relocate yet.
Yeah I tried to go when it was really quiet to avoid that because SAME.
I live in Northwest Indiana, less than an hour from Chicago. Your Costco prices seem very comparable to ours here. I love Costco and their return policy. I've found very good deals on clothes and been pleased with the quality.
Same! I didn't have time to browse that part today but they usually have fantastic winter coats for kids!
Costco haul…. The price of butter in America is amazing! I live in Canada on the West Coast and I would pay that amount for one brick of butter. (Approximately 2 cups) OMG!!!!
Yeah it’s quite a bit more in the regular grocery store but I still don’t think as much as you pay!
@ it’s quite expensive at Costco here too….. I think it’s closer to $6 Canadian per brick
Hi from Saskatchewan Canada
When we bought our first house and things would go wrong, my dad would always say “the benefits of home ownership!”. It’s still triggering lol

Have you found reducing gluten helped?
@@janeryan8871 Well when I overdue gluten (like on a cruise) my joints hurt more for sure so I'm going to approach it with a little more discipline and see? My doctor feels like it will work.

My daughter bought an induction with a down- draft from IKEA just last month.
Sadie wants to stay outside but only if you are also outside, so you need to go put on a warm coat, hat, scarf and gloves and take a book and sit with her :)
I mean clearly.🤣
OMG THE PRICE ON THE BUTTER!!! A pound here is $6.99!!!
Yeah that was a typo. The real price is in the pinned comment.😕sorry about that
Still…was ready to put the house up for sale in Canadaland!
@ that typo was why I really shouldn’t try to put up three videos in 3 days. We end up with quality issues….
