Erin, I'm so proud of you for taking the tree down. Sending you a huge hug!

[@ErinRobinson]

Thank you so much

[@terrafriesen4983]

Proud of you for putting the tree away. It's my bday today and I 100% cried in my closet this morning and she died 7 years ago. It's a whole ass process.

[@michellesallette435]

I'm proud of you, Erin, for making that major step in your healing journey. As someone who lost both of my parents way too young, I know how hard it is. I'm 36 and lost my Mom 2 years ago, and my Dad 14 years ago. Your Mom is looking down and is your Angel. You will see her again one day.

[@miss_m_yt]

Please consider doing this for Trader Joe’s too!

[@Sewingistherapy]

They got my money. But seriously, with a family of 7, Costco membership is a must.

[@ErinRobinson]

I hope you have that membership where they pay you back at the end of the year!

[@gigipark123]

Great video! Would love to see more Costco employee recommendations. I am a Costco member of Maine's first and only Costco. That's right, the entire state waited until late last year to finally get a Costco! And it is just 15 minutes from where I live in Southern Maine! So I have been scouring youtube looking for Costco tips and tricks. So far I LOVE Costco's pepperoni pizza at 4 for a little over $13. They are delicious! Also love the rotisserie chicken , lemon blueberry loaf, and the Kirkland Chicken Bakes. Any other must haves for a small family without a lot of pantry and freezer space?

[@kristinchamness5164]

I love that your Christmas tree was up, but so proud you took it down. My mom passed right after Christmas 2020 and taking down her trees as we got ready to sell her home was so weird. Now Christmas just reminds me of her and a way to hold her close

[@mdphds2161]

Love your content and food tasting adventures, Erin! Highly requesting your review on the following Costco items: 1) Chips and salsa 2) Kirkland ice cream options 3) Honey roasted nuts assortment 4) Cheese varieties 5) Chicken parm 6) Frozen mozarella sticks/nuggets/appetizer options

[@cupcakelikes]

I love having a Costco membership even though I'm a single person. I strategically make my purchases.

[@ErinRobinson]

This is something I've been so curious about. I only use my membership for videos mostly because I don't know how much "bulk" stuff I can actually use/store. What items do you think you get the most value for there? Should I be shopping there more!?

[@baileyy1_3]

I just got my tonsils removed and I have just been binge watching all of your videos. As a 16 year old girl who loves food it’s been difficult not eat but watching you videos have been like satisfying my cravings for some reason. 🥰

[@ErinRobinson]

Bailey!!!! I am so sorry friend! That is the worst. Are you only eating soups and yogurt at this point!??!

[@crystalbarfoot]

Hiii Erin! I'm so thankful you were able to take down your tree on your own time. I really felt it was important for you to do when you felt ready and I truly think your mom was there with you. 💕 Sending you a huge hug! 🫂❤

[@crystalbarfoot]

P.S. ... I think that Coke is a Mexican Coke? Possibly? They're the best! We get them at Christmas, lol. They're made with sugar instead of corn syrup!!

[@ErinRobinson]

Thank you. It was for sure a long, strange journey and while I kind of almost never wanted to do it...I felt like it was time to take the step

My father died on Dec. 22, 2006 and I still have the presents we got him wrapped and in the closet.

[@margiewalker1808]

How did I miss this video? My Costco must haves are the Almond milk, the cooked crunchy mushrooms and the matcha.

[@joannie03]

Just so you know, the two-bite brownies taste AMAZING straight out of the freezer. We used to freeze them (so the container would last longer) and then microwave them when we wanted a treat. One time I just really wanted one immediately and didn't bother to microwave it, and it was GREAT! Highly recommend :)

[@FaithReed-p2l]

I love the Costco bacon!! The black labeled we always get it also the cheeseburgers from the freezer are good and the buffalo wings from the freezer!

[@Hat-trick2299]

The grief process is our own individual journey and no one can manage it but us. Having the tree up or down is definitely your own journey. I had a neighbor/friend who had her mother pass around Christmas time and she kept her tree up for around 5ish years. She decorated it for each holiday. It’s ok to be not ok. But it’s also ok to move forward ❤ I have experienced deep loss from several family members including my father and two brothers. It’s not easy. Some days are but some days I feel so sad without them. I’m thankful they’re in heaven. ❤ but that’s my journey. You’re entitled to live out your journey. As long as you’re healthy, don’t ever let anyone try to steer your journey. But…. I think you know this 😊 still waiting to airbnb the desert house some day 😉

[@leisure057blank3]

Member.the mashed potatoes always taste good when I sample, so I will buy them at some point. Those scalloped potatoes are so good. My place has a shelf stable tomato soup which you could pour a little at a time. So delish when i have sampled it,but never bought. I have been very curious about those ribs. Love those bingo mandu dumplings, is it? The dips…the cheddar chile,the artichoke jalapeño, that pot roast, the lumpia, those mini egg rolls, I found I really like those little pizzas, so many things.

[@sarahsexton1480]

I love turning the tomato soup into a stew of sorts by adding roasted veggies and a protein of some sort. I’ve done beef and chicken and both were amazing. Highly recommend!!

[@ErinRobinson]

Ohhhhh! You all know I love hacks. Hack videos are really how I launched this channel in a way, so I love upgrading pre-made items!

[@blugreen123]

We have a Costco membership! In fact, my husband is going today. It's a lifesaver! Congratulations on taking your Christmas tree down. That's huge.

[@ErinRobinson]

What items do you feel like give you the best bang for your buck!?? I feel like I should be shopping there more but I feel so overwhelmed

[@FrenchToastedSouls]

The main street brand that makes those mashed potatoes also makes potatoes augratin that is so good that is also sold at Costco

[@Jenna_Gute]

My boyfriend died around christmas about 3yrs ago, and I also took some time before i could take down the decorations 💔 Im proud of you! Thats one step towards your healing ♥️ though its never something we ever actually heal from. My thoughts are with you Erin! Side note, I dont have a Costco near me, so I live through you for the Costco experience!

[@ErinRobinson]

Were you ever able to decorate for Christmas after that? I am so so sorry you had to go through that

[@Jenna_Gute]

@ErinRobinson yes! I've decorated the last 2 years in the way we planned; all blue and white decorations! And I put his memorial ornaments at the front of the tree! I think of what the plans were and what he would want me to do. Though it is a bit emotional every year, it's nice to have it up. You'll be able to decorate again too, it just may take some time and some tears ❤️

[@kaylateeuwen]

My husband recently got the chilli coated dried mangos by Nutty Fruity which were also at our Costco. and they are goooood! Very intense flavour but so yumm. I would love to try the peach rings!

[@ericadavis231]

Jalepino artichoke dip. It's so good but our location stopped stocking it =(

[@bsmithremmick]

I love the apple muffins when they have them and I always get mad when they are gone for the season. Otherwise my next favorite item would be their carrot cake cupcakes (again seasonal)

[@ErinRobinson]

I don't think I have seen these there!!! Are these seasonal? Or have you seen them there often!? And thank you...this loss has really done a number on me. I think when you lose someone so tragically, it just feels like you may never recover from it

OH and if you like those peach rings, there's tajin gummy bears that are so good, but what i love is they're individually wrapped. Sure, I might have 2 bags, but it's better than digging into a bag like that😅😅

[@avavivion7719]

They got my money! They definitely will in a couple of hours, this will be our second time shopping there as my husband and I just joined last month and it’s an hour away. So far my favorite things are their bakery chocolate muffins, Nongshim Tonkotsu ramen, the individually packaged smashed avocado , and the Kirkland fragrance free baby wipes. I’m with you on pork ribs, I don’t like anything about them! I understand about leaving your Christmas tree up, I leave mine up until almost the end of May, after my birthday and Memorial Day. It makes me happy and it’s beautiful! My Mom passed 8 years ago, my father-in-law 4 years ago, my Dad 3 years ago, and my stepdad a few weeks ago. I’m so glad that I found your channel, you’re adorable and funny and I look forward to your videos.

You could ask either subscribers or employees their favorite items. Maybe categories like chips/snacks or desserts.
