Can I just say, you are so amazing for thinking of options for your father-in-law. As someone who also has medical dietary restrictions (Celiac Disease), having people think/try to accommodate me, means the world to me. I don’t ever expect it, but it has often brought tears to my eyes. You are so wonderful for being so thoughtful. ❤

[@angelawossname]

My closest friend has coeliac. I was shopping last week and gluten free pasta was on sale, so I picked up half a dozen bags for her. I always do this because the gluten free stuff is so expensive, and she only has a part time job and two kids. I can't eat sugar because it triggers my auto immune issues, so she does the same for me if she sees something that I use on a regular basis that is otherwise expensive, but the sugar free options aren't nearly as expensive as the gluten free options.

[@kathrynlongstaff9282]

Celiac here too and I so appreciate it as well. Very thoughtful, I agree

[@brittneybrewer333]

I live in the stix with access to only a Food Lion , Dollar General and Family Dollar. Oh and a locally owned grocery store called Elba. Elba is my go to for meat!!! They have an actual butcher and the prices are phenomenal!! If I want ALDIs, Lidal or Walmart I have to travel 45 miles. I’m guessing $250???? Thanks for the Chandler Bing clip!!! My heart is broken that Matthew Perry has passed!! Friends is my all time favorite show!!!!!

Welcome to food shortages! Thank you to the person who sent the recipes for the oat and almond milk!

[@FrugalFitMom]

Thank you from me, too!

[@samjones9465]

Christine you can easily make almond milk at home - I never buy almond or oat milk - it's so easy - soak 1 cup almonds overnight, rinse and then blend with 3 cups of water - put it through a nut milk bag - keeps for 7 days in the fridge in a jar - just shake it before use. Oat milk is even easier no soaking just blend 1 cup of oats with 3 cups of water - put through a nut milk bag and again into a jar for up to 7 days in the fridge. Tastes amazing nothing like store bought

[@twovirginiacats3753]

I have a giant bag of almonds to use up. Almond milk here I come!

[@laurettakhundmiri2144]

Interesting, I drink the unsweetened almond milk plain not vanilla. Could I use cheese cloth instead of a nut bag. If not where do you buy them. Thank you for sharing the info and please and thank you for the rest.

[@debiwillis9045]

Does the oat milk last just a week as well?

[@samjones9465]

I think so, I'm quoting a week as I've not had any left after 7 days lol. maybe google it to find out for certain@@debiwillis9045

[@alisonp9545]

I'm honestly blown away, not only by the great deals, not only the great recipe ideas but also by the fact that there were very few people in Costco. Never seen that in my life.

[@kathleenchambers6485]

My friend’s mother had a crushed velvet matching outfit in the 70’s! Enjoy your company. 😊

[@twovirginiacats3753]

I am a frequent Costco shopper. I guessed somewhere between $300-$350 on that cart. I could have been more accurate, but I wasn't sure about the snacks. After years of Costco shopping, I have a gut feeling when it is time to stop (for me that is around $250 these days). I also like your trick of buying the turkey and ham whole (not sliced). It is so much less expensive and better too.

[@stephenkurucz]

[@pday2day837]

@Frugal fit mom I’ll tell ya a secret to easy peel hard boiled eggs. 5 minutes instapot, 5 minutes in ice water. Comes off easy not breaking your eggs. Thanks for the video❤❤❤

[@johnschneider931]

Was it smarter every day? Anyway someone did a video about a month ago , did a video on testing multiple variables at once for on egg peeling and Japanese sparklers. Across all the variables vinegar was consistent in allowing easy pelling. So google that method.

[@FrenchToastedSouls]

A tip on the sliced lunch meat at Costco: get the Kirkland sliced lunch meat that is priced per pound. It's delicious. The roast beef and turkey especially

[@Denisewithonei]

I buy shelf-stable almond milk (almond breeze brand). Some stores put it by the cereal. Other stores put it in some random, illogical place to aggravate those of us who need grocery shopping to make sense! 😂

With Scan & Go I bet you could have gotten out Sam's quicker than Costco!

[@melissawright4040]

I will keep your neighbors daughter in my prayers. I hope she has a speedy recovery. Almonds are good for you. I am diabetic and that is one of the nuts I keep on hand. But I will eat 6 or 7 Almonds at a time

[@kimeverhart6253]

Oh yes!! I love this kind of salad!! So Italian!! 😍👩‍🍳😘

[@heathersmeather]

I found out my in-laws will be in Utah for thanksgiving. It should be fun and it’s only two more people for dinner. I do enjoy trying to find foods I know are good for them. My father-in-law has diabetes. Kale and pumpkin are good fall ingredients so that’s convenient. And sweet potatoes. I’ll just reduce sugar in any recipe I can, and go low carb where possible. Of course we’ll get a couple Diet Pepsis and diet Dr Peppers for their visit. 😁

[@lindagrimmett6564]

My guess for the cost was $325 so I was very close without going over so I should be able to go on to the final showdown!😂

[@LifeWithElizabeth]

I got one of those turkey lunchmeats last time I was at Costco and it's delicious. I let some homemade sourdough sandwich bread get a bit stale then used it for paninis... yum!

[@EmeryShae]

My small fridge is crying right now… I’d love to be able to buy that much fresh food at once! We are also a family of six. One small fridge… though I do have two extra freezers 😅

[@jlw7189]

Velour track suits are back!!!!!!😅

[@clareu9539]

That is so true about meat. I try and opt to buy the best I can afford but have it less often - so good with butter, pepper and salt. I am fascinated by these dressing packets - we don't get these in the UK. I hope you have a good weekend with your extended family :)

[@alcogito8287]

Maybe you are better off. That sort of thing is full of chemicals and sugar. It's easy, and a lot cheaper, to make your own dressings.

[@joannaazar7396]

Good morning! Thanks for sharing ❤

[@BethTheWanderer]

Honey Ohs are my favorite too and I 1000% support your decision to buy the max amount 😂

[@elizabethhenriott-raising5boys]

I make Mexican lasagna with tortillas, flour or corn!

[@off2funnyworld]

The only produce item I ever buy from Costco is when their big raspberry box goes on sale and I can get that big ol’ double-sized boi for $3-4 out of season. I usually grab two and freeze some or just eat it all because HECK YEAH (For context, our local grocery try stores sell small boxes for about $3-4, so it’s like double the amount for the same or sometimes a lesser price)

[@cassienester1187]

My family is just my husband and I but I kid you not, I have considered getting a Costco membership JUST for that Keto granola. It is so yum!!!

[@goroshechik]

My family is just the 2 of us, and we still have a membership! The croissants are also super worth it

[@robinswan5831]

Whoa whoa whoa- you went to a restaurant?! haha!

[@terrip8451]

I've been dying to try those korean bbq almonds. They sound soo good.

[@inezaultman1850]

I mix ground beef and Italian sausage to amp up the flavor and make the sauce extra thick. I layer this with shredded cabbage, mozz and whole milk ricotta for an ah-may-ZING keto lasagna. The spice in the sausage mitigates the sulphanes in the cabbage.

[@joantomlin7281]

Shred up that bag of Zucchini and squash, add 1/4 cup of your seasoning mix and 1 box of Jiffy muffin mix for a great casserole. Use 1/2 of the liquid listed on the box directions. You'll need to use your hands to blend it all. It will seem dry and skimpy but don't worry. The cornbread mixture is a binder. For gardeners, it's 2 lbs of squashes . It's OK to use less squash: the recipe will come out more cakelike rather than like a pudding

[@lauriep7760]

Honey Os are the best!!!

[@koffeekat8106]

I love Honey Ohs!!!

[@billkelly3679]

There are only two "vegetables" I buy at Costco. Avocados, because they're huge and far less than Kroger. Salad greens (the 1 pound box) because you can't just buy the same greens for the same price. Lots of other things, but not produce.

[@LisaofHopewell]

Do you ever ask for a raincheck on sales at Kroger stores? Also, my store often has better produce in the back--if you ask someone goes and pulls some out. The cilantro thing....

[@vilmawilson3931]

I am right with you… Honey Oh’s is my favorite cereal ! ! And I don’t eat cereal often😊

I have a lovely Costco 3.5 miles from me (with corporate offices right across the street) but I was curious about Sam's Club so I tried to look it up, but there appears not to be any in my state or at least not within a hundred miles. But I love Costco, especially their lovely Wilcox Farms pastured-raised eggs, two dozen for $8. Unbeatable! Fresh mushrooms, and their focus on organic foods. Yay!

I use onion powder and garlic powder everyday. I use them on meat dishes, casseroles, soups, stew, all kinds of salads from potato salad to macaroni salad to bean salad to pasta salad and on and on and on and on. I go through two to three of those large Costco containers a year

[@FrugalFitMom]

I think I see the difference! I don’t make casseroles, stew, or any of the salads you mentioned 😱 crazy to think that we have such different cooking styles!

[@AuntLU83]

So I have about 90,000 things to say lol I’ve been watching your channel for a while. And I am feeling just like you currently. Although I knew my parents were coming to visit me in Florida it still seems like an extra $300 in groceries. I don’t mind it’s fine. I did a big Costco hall a few weeks ago. And I’m so glad you bought that Parmesan cheese. I just have to say it’s 1000 times better than anything that comes in a box or a bag. Fun fact, if you put it in your fancy blender, it will make it powder and you will be able to put it in the freezer for later. Sometimes throwing money at the problem to make it go away is the best solution. Just for the record. My Costco is almost 40 minutes from me in traffic and just the other day I acquired a Sam’s Club membership for $20 that I am so excited to use. Have a great weekend!

[@Jazzatic2011]

The fact that you can get 5 dozen eggs (and not buy 2 packs of 30) is unheard of in canada. And 30 costs the $11 as a good price
