$380, I was surprised that it was so low. 😊

[@HeartwayFarms]

Thank you!!! We appreciate your support and please consider checking out our link to our Amazon store for some more great ideas :-) www.heartwayfarms.com/amazon

[@Pmwalls46]

@@HeartwayFarms I was literally shocked at your total price !! You got a LOT of great things !! I’ve spent a lot there and there’s only two of us (most of the time). I belong to Sam’s Club AND Costco, which probably is a splurge. I do like the flour option you chose which Sam’s does not offer. I thought the meat prices were pretty high at Costco last time I looked. I didn’t however check the chicken breast prices. I’m headed to a local meat market for the chicken breast to can for the pantry. Their price is $1.59 per lb. which is the lowest I’ve seen. I love watching your hauls and will continue to appreciate all your hard work putting videos together for us !! ❤️❤️❤️

[@COWELLGIRL]

I'm glad when dads go along grocery shopping! They see first hand that the prices quality and quantities for family verses what you spend are reality ! For those of us who dont buy tons of junk and buy real foods ! And cook

[@anniemcelroy2812]

❤️❤️❤️

[@anniemcelroy2812]

Josh LOVES to shop 😁 Seriously!

[@COWELLGIRL]

@@anniemcelroy2812 that's awesome! My hubby dont mind picking up a couple things at all for me but the whole shopping trip No Way hahaha.

[@A-G5518]

My husband used to get so mad after I'd go grocery shopping and accuse me of wasting money, until he went with me. Then the frustration went towards the prices themselves and not on me. Then of course when hubby goes, it's even more expensive 😆

[@stephaniedagenais525]

I know Josh just mentioned the sheepskins in passing, but if anyone is seriously interested in gorgeous ethically raised and naturally tanned sheepskins, check out East Perry. They have amazing hides for great prices!! No toxic chemicals used in the tanning process! 🙌🏻

[@Alexis_9339]

I recently did a huge price comparison between Costco and azure on organic things we purchase, many many things were cheaper at Costco, some significantly like 50%, frozen berries, frozen veggies, canned tomato products, brown rice, and bone broth, I still Azure and will buy certain things from them to support them, but definitely will be price comparing.

[@kellygreen8255]

Here’s a tip, at Costco they put the packed date on their produce, so…in the future, check that to determine which box/ bag you purchase.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

❤️❤️❤️

[@lisakallunki5042]

We like the Rice Ramen noodles!

[@hopeschlieman6101]

We live 90 miles from the closest Costco and Sams. Sams has FREE shipping and Costco does not. So for shelf stable items, cleaning and paper products, etc. I order from Sams. Huge savings for us considering gas prices. On the rare occasion we are in Fargo or then I go into the store. Otherwise pick up our groceries locally or at Wal-Mart. The closest Wal-Mart is 40 miles away. We are truly rural!! :)

[@anniemcelroy2812]

[@rhonda4829]

Costco is my favorite haul. They pretty much have something for everyone.

[@marybona1632]

Hello! I'm definitely a Costco fan. Primarily because they have more organic choices and healthier options. I also have a Sam's Club membership because they are more conveniently located for us. I also wanted to share - there is a KZbin channel called FlavCity. He is also a HUGE Costco fan - but Bobby has done an amazing job of teaching me how to read labels and how to find cleaner and healthier products @ Costco, ALDI, Whole Foods and other shopping stores. He also created an app - you scan an item and he will tell you if it's an approved item and if not, why. I think you would find his channel very informative! Thank you for you channel! I love what you share with the rest of us!

[@stephaniedagenais525]

Love FlavCity!!!

[@homesteadmccoy]

Costco. Frozen organic fruit and vegetables (selection is limited but the quality is superb). Vanilla beans. Butter, they have grass fed and organic options. Canned fish. Some cheeses, the Kirkland parmesan is amazing. Maple syrup. I also love Azure, but I think folks forget to factor shipping and gas into the cost of Azure items. I use my Azure orders for things that I cannot walk into a store and buy.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

❤️❤️❤️

[@jenniferjuranko1617]

$380 is a great price for everything you got especially since you went the organic/healthy route! Thanks for sharing this haul….it’s great to see what y’all got and learn what Costco has for another option for us.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

❤️❤️❤️

[@patriciawilhite7038]

I shop at Sam’s due to shortage of Costco Warehouses. I live in Arkansas. Until July 2022, we were 1 of 5 states without any Costco’s. The first one held their grand opening July, 2022 in Little Rock which is 100 miles away from me. I think a few more have opened here now. But Sam’s is in my hometown so that is handy for me. God bless!

[@reneesichley6494]

380.00 is nothing ! You had an amazing haul for little money. Good for you😊 love your videos ❤️

[@heathernotzdaniels6350]

Those noodles you picked up are the bomb, and Costco definitely has the best price for them. I will buy them 10 at a time and put them away. We use them for Asian meals, and as spaghetti.

[@nancyfasolino7607]

Also you have to remember this is all healthy clean organic stuff! Which are very expensive so it’s not bad for great food ! Not junk! I buy all that stuff not as much as you but all that great organic stuff!we been doing raw apple cider vinegar in water every day cosco has a two bottle deal!coconut oil, decent grain free granola bars,grass fed collagen powder,Avocado oil, grass fed butter, organic berries, eggs,grass fed burgers, grain free crackers, raw honey,as far as healthy food Cosco for sure!Sams is good for certain fruits are good and bulk chicken.

[@BTatNWD]

Love Costco! Coconut oil, maple syrup, dog food, and vinegar are our staples every time. Household items like batteries and trash bags are always a much better buy then anywhere else as well.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

❤️❤️❤️

[@chelseagarchar4338]

$380 is about a months worth of groceries for my family of 5. Granted we can, freeze, hunt and raise our own food. So that helps significantly with the budget.

[@morganca42]

We have both Costco and Sam’s club memberships. We used Sam’s club a ton when we lived in the south and now that we’re on the west coast we use Costco more. Love Sam’s for their sales and snack selection, along with their spices. Not a ton of organic and gluten free selection though. I also LOVE that Sam’s had the scan and go on the app. It helps keep you in budget and you skip the lines! I also love that’s Sam’s has free shipping online and free pickup for Plus members. Love Costco for all the things. Wish they had scan and go and I wish it weren’t so hectic all the time. I keep my phone calculator going with my running total so I stay in budget or else I’d wayy overspend at Costco. The gas station line is absurd. So I avoid that. We love the organic and gluten free options at Costco. The meats are great. Produce is priced well. Got 4 new tires on my car and saved a few hundred $$ And we get all our vitamins and supplements there too. Overall both places has its perks!

[@Maranatha_Homestead]

Oh I would love a video on your buffalo chicken wraps, what you put in them, etc.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

[@debminder4420]

Some of our favorite things to buy at Costco is oils , better than bouillon, organic pasta is really good! Raw sugar, sprouted oats, bananas, and tortillas. Along with the tortilla chips

I understand that Sam’s Club is less expensive however we shop at Costco because we Love to buy Organic and I am Gluten free Dairy free! So things like Goat Cheese are so much less expensive from Costco!

my husband makes our chillli. He make an extra batch and I can it in quart jars. Never had issue with it, of course it last a few months. As a matter of fact, I opened one and made chilli Mac. We have a hobby farm and this week has been busy. Where we live the is Not a Cosco, we have a Sam's

I opted for Costco for the large variety of organic items. The only thing I miss from Sam's is their larger seasonings section. So I'm ordering those online now.

[@ShirleyJalal]

That lemon juice is the BESTTTTTT and our favorite item at costco! It lasts its all organic and has over 10,000 lemons in it! I put it in my water 24/7! Amazing and the best!

Love lemon water. I'm so glad someone suggested getting this item ❤️❤️❤️

Costco 💯 Switched over from Sam’s about 5 years ago because Costco has WAY more organic choices! 👍🏻 PS. I love the rice/ramen noodles. I add them to an organic miso soup I get from Eden Foods in Clinton, MI. 😋

[@anniemcelroy2812]

Yum, sounds good ❤️❤️❤️

[@SailorsMrs86]

We're a military family and sent to SE Cali. I got a Costco membership this last year because they had organic produce and other organic food options more so than the other options to shop around here. I think my Costco may be smaller or maybe the area just doesn't call for all those things you got but some of the stuff you got I haven't seen here. Also sometimes they seem to be out of certain things for a while. Ive got their organic bone broth but I'm sure homemade is better. I learned how to can/pressure can but left my canner back home with family because I knew we weren't going to be canning a bunch knowing we'll be moving again in 3-4 years. So for now we make it work with what we can buy and just do our best, like you, to buy best options that we can afford. Kind of like the good, better best idea. I just started with Azure. I will be ordering from them again. I agree that it's good to shop around and definitely snag up deals when you find them especially for good quality foods. We tried Costcos dog food and my dogs hair started falling out in clumps so we switched back. We don't have a lot of freezer space here and we lose power a lot so we don't go super crazy with stuff in the freezer but also most of the Costco frozen pre-made stuff wouldn't fit in my freezer anyway but a lot of the time it's not the healthiest stuff anyway. I generally buy the organic produce. (But not all. Some even the non organic cost more than the other stores in town.) Organic milk, organic eggs, cheese(might be switching that all over to Azure though) pomegranate juice, acai berry juice or the frozen one, organic frozen fruit and greens mix for making smoothies, dunkin donuts coffee when it goes on sale, chips, veggie straws, pistachios, organic pasta, organic lemonade(my son LOVES it). They had organic Kirkland spaghetti/marinara sauce when I first joined in March and I bought it once and then it disappeared.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

[@crystalmichelle6053]

I only have a Sam's club close to me, but based on KZbin videos that I see I would definitely choose Costco.

[@angelaforcier378]

We belong to both , there are things I like about both stores . Our youngest son has stomach issues and prefers Costco for the organic and gluten free options he needs

[@wearethedepinets]

We love Costco, especially the organic flour and sugar. It takes a little over an hour to get to the one nearest us, so it takes some planning, but very worth it

[@lynsmith2698]

Where I live in Northern BC Our closet grocery store is two hours away and thankfully it’s Costco. We only go to town every second month so we do the majority of our food shopping there. I love it. Once in a while I will buy a few things at a regular grocery store but not often. Great video. ❄️🇨🇦❄️

[@dinakobyleski9191]

Love the organic flour! Last time I was there I bought organic lemons and dehydrated them , I use that in my water. But. I love that lemon juice, pistachios are great too and coffee is always a good deal!

Costco is our choice over Sams and quality of food is better. I was once a Walmart manager & Sams was all we had. We as a family use Costco over Sams all the time. If you compare prescriptions Costco is a winner.

[@supersarah429]

Those noodles are so good. It is really easy to break them up dry into a pan of whatever, add some liquid and put a lid on for a few minutes. They cook so fast. They are good boiled too.

Costco is awesome. I get my dog food there. Also the precooked bacon is a game changer.

Costco all the way! We like to grab the pure Maple syrup, nuts, flour, sugar, frozen veggies and meat.

I shop at Costco all the time. The flour that you picked up is awesome. I love their organic frozen cherries. Delicious! The Kirkland grass fed butter from new Zealand is excellent. Sugar bomb tomatoes great for fresh salads. I have found that the produce is ok but you really need to watch for things that go bad. Love your channel. ❤️

[@rebeccawhite9682]

Love Costco, even for two people in our house hold. My husband loves getting variety of power waters, teas, we go through bananas like crazy here just eating them no smoothies. Potatoes were a great price cheaper than our local grocery for ten pounds of baking right before Christmas. Love buying a box of snacks / chips each month to just stock up for softball games in the summer for my nieces team along with any extra sports drinks Incase a parent isn't able to make it I am always happy to make sure these teen age girls have drinks and snacks if we are there all day at the ball field.

[@marysidle5132]

Thanks for the share! I hit Costco about 7 or 8 times a year. Usually only stock pantry items. The Costco I frequent doesnt have the best quality of produce, so I buy that at a local place. That being said, i love their variety!

We get the 6 pack of romaine, it’s the same price as a 3 count at our chain grocery. We also get the blueberries cuz they just taste better. Eggs the price is so much better, butter too. We stock up on water, flour, sugar, rice, vinegar, baking soda, and tortillas cuz its so much better priced. Also the cheese is a great deal no matter what kind you buy.

I love that organic lemon juice

[@muddyacrefarms]

One thing I like to get from Costco is the 5 pound bags of frozen veggies and can them. Corn, Peas and green beans. Also watch there organic fair trade cocoa powder. They will put that on sale and it’s a really good price.

[@annmariejones4511]

We recently got a Costco membership and love it but we also have to be very careful because it’s SO easy for us to overspend there! We love the deals on prepared snacks, flour, pasta sauce, CHEESE!, paper products and household goods so far. Also gas and the hot dog stand makes for a cheap quick lunch…but a health food, but ok for once in a while!

[@anniemcelroy2812]

When I can I pretty much only put salt and minimally at that. Stuff like meat and beans needs just a bit of salt. I pretty much no longer add spices as something happen to them in the canning process it is as if they get double strength.

Costco 100% of the time! We love their little new potatoes, grapes, big bags of organic carrots, and sweet kale salad kits for a great convenience item. We also like the frozen Jones chicken sausage for a quick breakfast meat on busy mornings and the Jones uncured Canadian bacon. I get my organic cane sugar, monk fruit and organic flour there also! I too love Azure but some prices are better at Costco. We also buy our organic milk there- raw milk is illegal in NJ, so unless we take a 1.5 hour road trip to a farm in PA, we can’t get raw milk here.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

❤️❤️❤️

[@savebees]

I'm amazed you guys don't have a food dehydrator. We bought one for 200ish and love it. We dehydrate apples for apple chips and also make jerky using chicken breast marinated..but with food prices probably won't be enjoying jerky anytime soon

I am so glad to see someone on utube not doing the pantry challenge. I like watching the pantry challenge but also know for me it is not possible when I can for a year or more. I personally don’t want to run out of tomatoes and still have to wait 5 months for them to grow and get ripe again. Anne I love how you are real and do your best to keep it healthy but also understand that you have a budget. God bless I was able to purchase a very good dehydrator on mercari for such a amazing deal. This app people will sell products they don’t use.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

❤️❤️❤️

[@joycewilson6359]

Nice prices, having a dehydrator is a great investment. I have 4 and I couldn’t imagine not having one. Two of them were purchased at thrift shops for $3.00 each, 1 is a 10 tray and the other is a 6 tray. Fun fact I have one of the original first made 10 tray excaliburs from the 1970’s and it still works. They really help save a lot of money for onion, garlic and especially my homemade smoky paprika. The real savings comes with your fruits, tomatoes for tomato powder, instant cream soups, vegetable based soup mixes, beef jerky and for keeping veggies if you put them in with an oxygen absorber extending the shelf life to 5-10 years and it saves a tremendous amount of room for storing extra large quantities. I did notice that you are having to buy tomatoes and carrots. Right before your first killing frost gather your green tomatoes don’t wash just wipe the dirt off and wrap in newspaper lay out in single layers in cardboard can flats and put in your cellar. I have around 2 bushels of fresh tomatoes that we are slicing and enjoying, for your carrots in the fall plant a bed of carrots and leave in the ground cover with straw and enjoy the sweetest carrots you have had till March if you plant enough😊 lol. Hope this helps. Oh yeah you can take a deep heavy pot put oil just to cover bottom and popcorn seal with aluminum foil and make popcorn on a gas or electric stove it’s a little tricky on the glass top stoves.God bless

[@anniemcelroy2812]

[@citygal2198]

How do you make instant cream soup with dehydrator? Also carrots? Mine take forever to dry

[@cbagot]

I used to pick mine green at last frost and put them in tons of paper bags ... probably in the basement. I’m in NJ and would get hundreds of tomatoes. They grow really well here. Love the paper wrapping trick.

[@MJ-wp6zs]

Freeze Dryers are expensive, but ww took the plunge and invested in one recently. The fruit is amazing, and easy to do. Store bought FD fruit is very expensive, so I'm always glad now to think, I can do that myself and don't have to buy it!

[@kristydechant7120]

Okay let me tell you about that lemon juice get is the best lemon juice for canning! It also makes really really good lemon curd if I can't get May or lemon that is what I use. The flavor keeps well when I'm preserving it and the acidity is constant which is something I really appreciate about it.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

Good to know. Thank you 😊

This was a fun video!! We have a Costco about an hour and fifteen minutes from our house and I like to try to go every two months. My mom said she wants to go next time i go. She will love it i'm sure. For the record what you spent was super good!! No need to try and explain because any groceries cost but to get healthy bulk stuff is great. We are a family of four and i went back in the beginning of december and spent over 700. We did buy some meats though. No stress though because it lasts a few months and we have to eat. 🥰

Great haul. I love sams and cosco.

Costco has great deals on non food items in bulk and lots of fun things that go on sale that add variety to staple pantry items. I only buy organic greens and carrots from costco and shop elsewhere for produce. The grass fed butter, alternative milks, big blocks of cheese, hummus, organic tomato products are things I stock up on when they go on sale at costco...the real maple syrup is excellent.

We have same family size and we usually spend that amount as well. Very similar items for our family as well.

I have a dehydrator and love it. I don’t have a freeze dryer. I can’t justify the cost. If I was younger with a family, I’d have one. I was just at Costco. I did stock up on sugar and brown sugar.

Im a member at both clubs. Both are great! Costco produce is much better than Sam’s. And we also love all their organic and vegan options too.

We love that Buffalo sauce & mayo! I grab some any time I see it on sale. Costco is a Godsend for our family! We also do regular Aldi runs, but Costco is great for larger portions since our four young kids are growing so fast. It's so challenging during these times to keep up with their meal/snack needs while keeping it healthy and affordable. Thank you for sharing your haul! 💗 Happy New Year to all of you! My kids love nacho night with those Kirkland chips. They also sometimes have avocado mash on sale for a great price for making guacamole. Those olives are amazing, too! My husband and I use that coconut milk for our coffee and for curries. Great choices!

We've had the Lotus millet and brown rice ramen before, & it is surprisingly tasty!

Love Costco! We can two kinds of chili every year. ‘Regular’ and a vegan chili made with lentils and corn. Never had any weird tastes. A great go to meal on freezing Minnesota winters!

You should make your own Kombucha… it’s super easy when you have a scoby ..
