HUGE MONTHLY COSTCO HAUL

[@jezzlynnnoparticularniche8019]

Love your channel. I don't throw away my old towels. I use them for all sorts of cleaning projects.

[@debbiekhoury4079]

You have the best grocery hauls!

[@exxology1]

Those flavored & sparkling waters wreak havoc on my stomach! Now I buy regular ginger ale and add water..half ginger ale to half water makes a perfect refreshing drink and actually helps soothe my stomach!

[@donnathierjung6266]

Big haul with lots of ideals and new items I haven’t tried either. Thanks for sharing as always!

[@gramcracker1616]

It's so cool that you and Kiera became friends through KZbin! You are two of my faves!!

[@LifesLittleThingz]

I wish we had a costco but I'm glad we have a Sam's at least. I always have paper plates on hand, they save on dishes.

[@reginahall4846]

Hi Vanessa I love your grocery hauls actually love all your videos. You got lots of good food. I wanted to watch so it would give me some ideas what's at Costco. Getting ready to do my monthly shopping as well. Thanks for sharing. Your nails look so pretty also I love that sweater you got will be good with leggings. Have a great rest of the week.

[@LifebyVanessa]

Thanks so much!

[@gorillatagfun5336]

Just wondering do you budget for groceries or just pick stuff up ??

[@megankerr297]

Kim has me wanting to try the Heavenly Hunks and Brownies too.

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Hi Vanessa. I don't have a Costco near me but I love watching yours and Kiera's hauls so much. You got a lot of great stuff. Hope you have a great afternoon and week. Stay safe and healthy. God bless.

[@Michaela199022]

Just a thought on the chicken, the frozen might be injected with brine which adds to the salt intake for your dogs. At least in South Africa the frozen is usually brine injected while the fresh isn't.

[@rosemaryhubis693]

Absolutely love the Ghirardelli brownie mix - I cut them into small bites and wrap them up good and put in freezer last a long time that way and just enough sweetness to satisfy the need.

[@barbarajohnson7782]

I like your thinking Vanessa, I am going to cook like Fall and the weather can get into agreement! Lol! In SE MI it was 74F today so I think the real hot weather for us, like the high 80’s and mid 90’ s are over with, at least I hope so. Have a great Labor Day Weekend, love to you all.

[@raisingmitchells1224]

Never feel bad for the paper plates. My third child is 8 weeks old and whilst we use reusable plates most the time breakfast and weekend lunch I am not washing up. We don’t have space for a dishwasher (our UK kitchen is 2mx3m, family of 5 + my sister living with us), my biggest wish for our next house is room for a dish washer

[@sandiebrown8291]

I enjoy your video and love Kira, the Wads good choice... Enjoy learning about plant burgers , the whole diet

[@evannicole9809]

Girl yes, Kim made me buy the heavenly hunks too!! 🤣 They are so yummy!

[@KoRican-vt1bv]

I love love love the Monkfruit sweetener. Your hubby will love it. There is no after taste!!

[@wickedcat8946]

My kids have been taking extra time on snack breaks too! im glad to hear its not just mine lol I dont let them have food in their rooms either but I am going to try what you are also 🙂 hope it works!

[@amelaolsen4580]

The closest Castco from me is an hour away we go to Sam's! Nice haul! I am with you I am so ready for fall!! I am in Alabama and its hot here too!!

[@deborahlewis656]

Vanessa; you gotta get a soda stream, turns water into sparkling. I make mine extra bubbly, cuz to me bottled is not fizzy enough💧

[@LifebyVanessa]

I’ve tried a soda stream before and wasn’t a fan 😐🤷‍♀️

[@cindy846]

@@LifebyVanessa Did you put the bubbles in before or after putting the flavouring? If you put the bubbles in before, it won't come out very fizzy.

[@NicoleBurgess]

Mark is going to love the Lakanto! It's a must for us❤

[@MittenPrepperVet]

Bloating can be diet and hydration related. I take digestive enzymes as well as probiotics daily. I also live a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle. I do not drink soda's but do enjoy my coffee.

[@LifebyVanessa]

I’ve been thinking about adding a probiotic to my supplements. Definitely need to take better care of myself.

[@MittenPrepperVet]

Gut health is key for overall health. Even eating as healthy as possible, we still need to supplement at times for healthy flora in our digestive tract. I also forgot to ask/mention that if your daughter is taking B12, be sure it is Methyl B12 and not Cyanocobalamin. Methyl is natural and Cyano is man made form. The body can recognize and utilize Methyl where as Cyano (which contains Cyanide), the body must try to break down before the body can attempt to process it. Being Vegan is also tricky with digestion and nutrient absorption especially if eating processed foods instead of fresh, living foods. Juicing is wonderful for everyone (I could blab forever about this!) Nutrition is what I do (C.N.C) as well as Herbalist and Naturopath. Sorry for the super long reply!

[@thekitchendiva3735]

I love that you don’t have a ton of ads. I just subscribed! Take care.

[@LifebyVanessa]

Thanks for joining!

[@doneshasalas]

Love these videos!! My husband and I just got a Costco membership a few months ago and we've only been once since then 😅😂 it's an hour away from us. We have a SamsClub down the street but we only went there maybe 2-3x while we had that membership lol. Watching your videos gives me ideas for things to buy 🙈

[@tanyacaley4401]

I recycle a ton but im a huge paper plate fan too!

[@CindyKinney]

Hi Vanessa. I loved those shorts you got your son and also the shirts Mark picked out for himself. Great video. Have a great week, take care and stay well, sweet girl.

[@LifebyVanessa]

Thanks Cindy 🥰

[@jenniferfutrell8221]

My husband says the organic cinnamon rolls are the best too. I picked up two cans last week, Annie's and pillsbury. I made both cans at once and everyone wanted the Annie's. I've never tried Pho but it looks good!

[@chophappy]

I love going to Costco! There’s always such great deals there!

[@kristin9903]

I loved the avocado ranch salad. By far the best salad ever

[@michelesmith5688]

Do you have some type of inventory list you keep of what's in your freezer or do you just remember??

[@carrieoliver3193]

awesome video- thank you! would love to see your receipt shown at the end of your videos and your listing of prices as you run through that so we can see what you're paying for the cool stuff you got :)

[@flaviaps9]

Is flavoured water popular in America? I am from Europe and usually most of the people drink plain tap water 😂 The flavoured one sounds yummy. Does it contain any sugars or bad chemicals?

[@Hey_Ruthie]

Start with a small amount of coconut oil in their food, too much at first can give them the runs. Lol.

[@martagloria5173]

Hi Vanessa..... nice watching you from Indonesia, God bless you always

[@nancyfarkas3592]

Those hint waters are delicious. I love the apple

[@samanthajackson9236]

Hi from New Zealand, we are getting our first Costco in 2021 if its not to delayed due to everything going on. I can't wait!! Love your vlogs!

[@LifebyVanessa]

That’s awesome!

[@kiwitams]

Wait!?!?! We are?!?!?! Im in christchurch. Is it going to Auckland?

[@heatherfink6507]

Another good hall. I feel like I’m somewhat obsessed at watching peoples grocery haluls for new ideas for my family. I really would love to know more about Paige and her choices of being vegan. If she doesn’t want to share her reasons for being vegan maybe you could do a Vlog on her favorite products snacks main meals treats

[@rebeccaturner4988]

Sweet sleepy dogs. Maybe u should use the french baguettes to make sandwiches and make french bread pizza too.

[@Triggerjoes]

You and Kim are my favorites. ☺️ great haul

[@ak_2608]

New subscriber here. I love your haul videos!

[@nancyletteer3170]

I didn't know this myself so I looked it up, a cucumber is a fruit. Like I said I didn't know so just thought I'd share with you. You guys seem to eat a lot of salad and raw carrots so I would think your kiddos get plenty of veggies. Again this wasn't a dig I enjoy your videos! And think you are a wonderful mom. Those heavenly hunks look amazing. I love brownies I have a box in the cupboard and since its only me I'm afraid if I make them I will over indulge lol

[@ericavandegrift6219]

nancy letteer peppers are fruits too! I tried telling my husband that salsa counts as salad and he said it’s more like fruit salad. I argued with him but he was right lol. Peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers......all technically a fruit. I began to wonder if vegetables even exist lol.

[@nancyletteer3170]

@@ericavandegrift6219 I knew the tomatoes but never knew that green peppers and cucumbers were fruits I always thought vegetable wow we not only get a great video from Vanessa but a little bit of a learning lesson. I always enjoy the hauls, she helps me to see new things I might miss in the stores.💖👌

[@StormyRiver8970]

Just be careful with the coconut oil in the dog food, it could cause some GI upset/ diarrhea.

[@MrSurprenant1]

Cute dogs

[@melissa5844]

I find it cheaper to buy laundry detergent and downy at target or cvs and Walgreens. I find clubs are over priced on those items.

Great haul vanessa.. I watch Kim all the time..love her videos..

[@beckyfitzhugh1844]

Hi Vanessa Love your Costco Haul, I have a Sam's membership but watching you and Kira's Costco haul makes me want to get a Costco membership. I'm so afraid though that I'll spend $500 like you did but they sometimes have a better price on items than Sam's club does. I just wanted to add that Kim is absolutely right, Ghirardelli is the best brownie mix ever...also you have me hooked on a gnocchi I too purchased a gnocchi from trader Joe's and now I want to go to Costco's and get The flavor you just premiered in your video. Oh I wanted to add about those croissants Sam's club has the large container of croissants also for $5 and if you didn't want to make or prep breakfast sandwiches they freeze very very well and you can bring them out when you want to have a bread on the side such as the loaded baked potato soup or anything like that...when I take them out of the freezer I just let them thaw on the counter and I put them in the oven to have them crisp up and they are phenomenal, just an added tip or an additional option if you wish to try. Again love the video thinking about starting a KZbin channel myself You guys are so inspiring Love you and Kira I don't watch Kim very much but I think I might start because you guys mentioned her a lot in your videos. Enjoy.

[@LifebyVanessa]

I enjoy having both memberships. And you definitely need to check out Kim’s channel!

[@Skibidi209]

Soooo true with this Annie’s cinnamon rolls soooo much better our Costco doesn’t sell them I hope they start selling them soon

[@kmckenney1311]

I watched a nutritionist say she gives her kids a small desert with dinner every day. She said this way it takes away the stigma of it being bad to eat and then they won't obsess over the sweets. But I am torn I've tried that as well as once a week and my kids obsess over sweets no matter what!

[@cindy846]

Absolutely. My Mom is a nutritionist (she got a Master's) as well and she did the same thing with us. It is the restriction that _creates_ the obsession. So she treated dessert as normal food. BUT the desserts that were available were mostly homemade more or less "healthy" stuff (I grew up considering oatmeal, flax seeds and raisins cookies being actual dessert, but she used real sugar, butter, and so on, nothing "light", just normal wholesome recipes). Moreover, and I know this can seem strange, but it totally worked: we had to _taste_ everything on our plate in order to have dessert, but we weren't forced to finish our plate. The rationale behind that is that when you force a child to finish their plate to have dessert, they will slowly learn how to suppress their hunger/satiety signals AND they will eat the dessert whether they're hungry or not just because they "worked" for it, hence the extra unnecessary calories, and that's related to obesity. She never mentioned "dieting", "weight", "calories", "fat", or say "be careful you're gonna get fat" and so forth, because guilt-tripping people, especially _while_ they're eating a treat, will block them from enjoying said treat, so it won't even be satisfying, so they'll have more than if they simply enjoyed it calmly. Finally, we were not allowed to have any sugary drinks (with or without actual sugar or calories) because they're just empty useless calories, and even the ones without calories (such as Coke Zero Sugar) are bad, in fact they're even worse, because their sweet taste sends a signal to the brain that nutrients (calories, sugars, whatnot) are coming into the body, but then they're not, so a few hours later the brain triggers a sugar craving to make up for that, so you end up eating more. I am so thankful for her because as an adult today I did and I still do enjoy fresh fruits as much as cake and I really don't like sugary drinks, I'm just not used to them. It's a gift because I'm never "tempted". Anyway I could go on and on, it's such a complex and interesting topic. But anyhow, these types of changes require patience, the rediscovery of wholesome foods and homemade cooking (instead of processed, super-addictive premade stuff) and especially no guilt-tripping.

[@kmckenney1311]

@@cindy846 wow that makes perfect sense and so true that you said it requires patience..that's a struggle for me.,A quick fix (unhealthy)meal with 3 kids is so much easier sometimes but then I feel like I failed. Good tips

[@cindy846]

@@kmckenney1311 Thanks :) But it's actually very hard. Nowadays we work so much, it's very difficult to find the time to prepare homemade stuff... Batch cooking freezer meals and snacks and desserts is easier than cooking every week, for me at least.
