Years ago when my children were 3, 2 and newborn, my husband got up in the middle of the night with the wide-awake 2 year old. He determined that she wasn't anywhere near ready to go back to sleep so he took her to the 24 hour grocery store and did the grocery shopping. He said he got a lot of strange looks. My 2 year old had a great time and was ready for bed by the time they got home. Win-win. They grocery shopped together all through her childhood. They still shop together - about once a month I watch my grandchildren while she and my husband make Costco runs. They really enjoy their time together.

[@veronicageorge7820]

That’s so sweet. Thanks for sharing.

Oh now that just warms your heart ❤️ thanks for sharing .

[@pamelaabettis7225]

That is wonderful. To think you have such a great treasure in a husband that does the grocery shopping but would take a 2 year old with him is amazing! He was making a family tradition and didn’t know it!

I will have an operation on Monday and you inspired me to fill my freezer so I won't have to worry about cooking when I'm back from the hospital. So i did some meal prep over the last two days and now have some Bolognese sauce, chili con carne, pumpkin soup, chicken pot pie filling (hühnerfrikassee) and waffles in the freezer. I think we'll be good. Thanks for the inspiration.

I can't believe I sit here and watch you shop and thoroughly enjoy every minute of it. I can't imagine watching other people do this. You have a gift, Becky.

[@daneliasmallwood567]

Becky, I’m really glad that you’re doing this meal prep and trying to make everything homemade. This is important to me and my husband because we’re trying to eliminate foods with all the subpar additives for our health. So although I know it’s not totally about no sugar, no salt… This will help help me learn new recipes that I can adapt to our attempt to get away from all the junk that’s added to some items… We are even eliminating our pantry items as we go learning better options… So this will help me tremendously thank you

Wow, $800- back 🎉🎉

[@bonniegallagjer4380]

@ it was in a Costco Card but hey that did a lot of shopping!!! Also I had a grill that was 2 years old and the parts started routing even though it was covered they took it back. Thus why I do my large purchases from them they stand by their products.

[@katescaringcorner6765]

Hey, Becky. Lil hint for you when you forget your bags so you don’t have to purchase their paper bags. I, on purpose, don’t bring in my bags. I have the cashier or bagger just put the items back into my cart. Then when I get back to my car I bag my purchases my own self and I bag it according to where it goes when I get home. As in items that will be stored downstairs in the basement fridge or dry storage will be together and things that will go to the kitchen will be together. Plus I pack it so that it will be easier for me to carry as I walk with a limp and need a cane. Hope this helps you or any of your viewers. ❤

I had a stem cell transplant in 2016. Our boys were young and still at home. I cooked and froze dinners and kept a running list on the freezer door of what we had made ahead. It was a huge blessing. My husband could just grab something and heat it up for us.

I'm wondering where you are. I'm in the Coachella Valley, and it's been super we indy here as well. I had to use my inhaler. Just to the west of us is Banning. They had their power cut early today and will be off until Friday. Those arching power lines can spark up a fire in seconds. My heart goes out to my Califonia neighbors. It's going to take years for the earths wounds to heal, and for people to recover, most don't have that advantage. 160,000 people on top of yesterday's 35,000 people are under evacuation orders. My valley is about 80 miles from the fires and our hotels are offering sanctuary to the victims! Please Hollywood, let's have telethon and concerts to aid our healing.

[@karenshepherd2412]

If people want to help, send something to the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army. If you want to pray, pray for some gentle rain. These areas are urban. Tightly packed in to one another, homes, businesses, etc. As of yesterday 25,000 homes have burned! I didn't hear a count in LA today? I heard 1000 homes, but I think that is in Pasdena/Altadeana?

Here’s a freezer prep idea Becky…..since you like those frozen sheet pan roasted vegetables that you bought from Costco maybe you could put a version of it together for the freezer next Summer using veggies from your garden. It would save money and help you use up some of that garden abundance!🤗

[@elliev3593]

I like the idea of making everything from scratch. If you're going to make your own tortillas, I highly recommend investing in a tortilla press. They're anywhere from $20-$50 depending on quality. It'll make it much easier for you.

I use my tortilla press for making burgers and cassava flour Fritos. The grandchildren like using it with Play Dough.

You may want to consider buying yourself a meat slicer. They are relatively inexpensive and then you could make your own thinly sliced beef. Love the videos! Thank you for sharing. 😊

I second this suggestion! I got one for Christmas several years ago. I make a top round roast by tying the roast int a log, searing and roasting it on a low temp until it’s about 140°. Then I slice it paper thin to serve.

[@Homeschooler2022]

I just meal prepped 20 lb of meatballs (50/50 beef & pork) to make room in my freezer for the next cow. My suggestion would be to use a standard / neutral meatball recipe, like a standard Italian meatball, bake them, vacuum seal them, and freeze them. Then you can throw them into any sauce you like. The recipes I will make include grape jelly & chili sauce, Italian wedding soup, teriyaki, and meatball subs. Yum!

I just did a huge grocery stock up at Costco for meal prep too! Also, I'm not sure if anyone else has shared anything like this with you, but I would caution you about the sofa sleeper idea. We have friends who have one for guests and honestly we prefer to sleep in their camper over the sofa sleeper. The mattress for the sleeper is unbearably soft and the bed doesn't actually lay flat so people have to sleep with their heads a bit elevated. Over the years I have found this to be the same across other sofa sleepers I have slept on as well. Just wanted to give you that heads up before you decided on a sofa. Love your videos and I find them incredibly inspiring!!🥰

[@karenmomoftwins8847]

I agree. Would much rather sleep on a blow up bed. I'm 54 years old with MS and arthritis and spent a full week on allow up bed in September and was great. One night on sleeper sofa and I'm in pain

[@Sparkplug4712]

Absolutely agree with you. I find sofa sleepers extremely uncomfortable for my back because you don't lay flat like on a mattress, it's bumby with uneven sections. We have sleeper sofas and no one sleeps on it, everyone perfers our air mattresses that plug in the wall and fills up in a minute. My queen size air mattress is triple height, not low to the ground, is actually higher than some beds, and has a pillow top. Easy to put away in its bag and hide in the closet

[@SimplyaBrees]

@karenmomoftwins8847 right?! These new blow up air mattresses are amazing, we just upgraded to an18 inch thick one and we loved it!

[@lynnbogdanovich5284]

Just a note on the cans versus bottles issue: Aluminum cans are the highest value recyclable you can get and glass is about the lowest, so from a sustainability standpoint, switching from glass to cans is a big plus. And of course shipping things in heavy glass is obviously more carbon-intensive than the much lighter-weight aluminum cans.

Try blanching your home grown green beans and then freeze them. I noticed that if I freeze green beans without blanching they are not very good. Same with broccoli. Experiment with a single bag in summer, freeze for about a week then try them. Its amazing how much difference blanching makes. That's what they do with the store bought ones.

I have not had the best luck the last couple years with growing onions from seed. A local friend of mine buys his onion starts from Dixondale farms.

I purchased my first deep freezer just after Christmas and I’m entirely too exited to fill it with yummy meals and produce from my garden for my little family!

[@ketokhuleesi4451]

Sometimes I forget how much I love your channel! Thank you Becky for all your hard work and sharing it with us so that we can be motivated. God bless you and yours.

[@AcreHomestead]

Thank you!

[@ChronicallyIllandCrafty]

The unreal candy also doesn’t have dairy, and the peanut butter cups are amazing!

[@marygrott8095]

I definitely agree with you snout the spicy cauliflower rice! I make a crockpot shredded chicken as an ingredient prep, and I add it to that cauliflower mix, along with black beans to create a burrito bowl. So good.

[@susanhenley8240]

When are you going to do a "Viewers Choice" of freezer meals? Have you considered letting us viewers submit recipes for you to make? Maybe something new to you or made differently than you usually do.

[@elenar2609]

Getting meals and food prep in my freezer for post-partum. Vacuum sealing and everything! I have been re watching so many videos to get inspiration, so thankful for your videos.

I've not had that chili lime blend but I'm a huge fan of tajin sprinkled on juicy fruits and veg (mango, cucumbers, melons) or on the rim of citrusy drinks. I've also used it as a substitute when I'm just short of chili powder when making enchiladas.

[@bethotoole6569]

Has anyone figured out how Becky can make watching someone else shop so enjoyable??

[@elliev3593]

LOL I was thinking the same thing. Grocery shopping is my least favorite thing, yet watching her is fun and has me thinking about my next list and meal prep. She's so comfortable with the camera.

[@tinasnyder2077]

Lmao!!! Right when I saw your comment I was thinking exactly just that.

[@dkanon7173]

The Tru Fru is really good after about 15 minutes. I’m glad you read the instructions! 🤣

[@Meeminator603]

I love late night shopping!!!

[@lorelei9393]

I do too but some areas are no long safe and Kroger locks the door I like to park at and it's usually when I'm inside! 😅

[@laurafall7846]

Oooohhhh Becky, you made me laugh so hard ,(in the best way possible) several times listening to you on your shopping adventure!!! The item distractions were sooo meaningful/heart felt to me as I do this with my hubby every time we go into a store...I always promise myself to stay ON TASK...never ever does it work. I always say "oh look!, mmm I bet these are good!, oh wow should we try these!!?? I didn't see these before... You get my drift... I absolutely loved this shopping trip the best so far! HONESTLY!!!! Thank you for your unintentional comedy. Can't wait to watch all of it come into fruition!! Love you tons!❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@jennlps2024]

Found your channel last night... I'm addicted. Love your channel. Excited to organize my freezer. Thank you.

[@michelletomlinson9742]

Many of the supermarkets here are 24 hours except Sunday night they close early at 5 or 5.30 . In Britain.

[@cynthiagilbert]

Loved going shopping with you !! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@patriciakline4967]

Just a tip. Couch sofas tend to be not comfortable when using the couch set jp. A lot of times they are really heavy and you feel the metal bars under the cushions.

[@jsimmons7023]

I live in Portland and yes, this winter has been surprisingly mild. Not one day under 32 degrees. I love watching your channel. Thanks for your insights.

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

My attention span has been kinda short lately, but I don't even watch this on double speed! Your 50 minute videos calm me down.

[@marthab255]

All my lemons on the tree are going for vinegar lemon cleaner. I always use late season for cleaner because we are having a few freeze days. Hopefully the freeze days are now and not in the spring. Those are devastating on fruit and orange trees. Georgia can have some really cold days. ❤

[@adriennetochter6873]

Hi Becky, I accidentally bought that same brand but they were freeze dried. If you really like the taste, I know you could easily make your own. Then of course they’re shelf stable, not occupying freezer space or requiring planning ahead. Your meal prep plans look interesting, I know I’ll enjoy that video.

[@tuesday_again]

My nearest Trader Joe's is about 45 minutes away in a direction we don't often go, but when I get a chance the roasted corn is always something I grab multiples of for our freezer!!! It's a big hit and so yummy by itself or works great added to all kinds of different meals. =)

[@simplyfromscratchrecipes]

Becky, that Sliced Black Truffle Cheese is AMAZING!! Our local one had it for the holiday's and then stopped carrying it, we were so bummed. Going to check another location with week to see if they have it. You should definitely give that one a try. The Unreal candies, including the coconut one are really good. I like to have them in the house for a small treat and they are not too sweet.

[@LPnerd]

If your temp outside is in the low 50's, all you need is a cold bag and put it in the trunk away from the heat in the car. not even ice ream will melt under 3 hrs. We love cotton candy grapes. they are great by themselves, or in a chicken salad. Gummie Bears are the same, just different brand name .

[@judithwahl6790]

Hi, new Shopping, new 🎉❤challenge.congrats for your whole family and welcome for the new one 👶

[@heatheramador4607]

I'm making Grandmas Ruth's banana bread. I just wanted stop for min mixing and thank you Becky for sharing a family recipe. My Papa died the end of last year and it's really a blessing how much knowledge they pass down to us grandkids well adults now 😂 Idk if this was your grandma that died last year but I just wanted to pause and thank you for everything you do even throughout a struggling day!

[@Barbara-c2o9f]

Becky, I want to get a Mockmill, but can't afford it yet. Noticed you have one and would love you to do several videos on how you like it, do you use it for spelt, emmer, cornmeal, just all your experiences. I want to learn as much as possible before I get the Mockmill. You are a really good teacher. Thank you. Barb

[@catr3232]

Views on the Road has the best process on making flour torillas. Ive made them for mexicans in México and they loved them. They came out thin, large and sturdy enough to make burritos.

[@thewoodenspoon9679]

Hi Becky! I’m doing the three rivers challenge in a way that will work for us and accomplish what we need to accomplish which is to use down what we’ve stored so much of for winter. To me doing a challenge like this may vary a bit with each household. So the degrees could vary. We have an over stock in pantry and freezers so that’s my focus. It’s going well. I do restock produce and dairy to make this a successful challenge. I think each household could have different needs and desires to accomplish for a successful challenge. So I’ve incorporated what needs to be done here. So if you decide to get on board with us just make it a challenge that works for your household. It’s an inspiring and exciting event! I love love love watching you cook and shop and plan! I’m getting some great ideas. Thank you! I love your channel!

[@kimberlymosby9878]

Late night shopping is the absolute best!!

[@cathyorth7457]

Becky I love your honesty! You don’t have to do anything that you’re not up to doing. Love your channel! Thank you for your sharing and your hard work.💕

[@niktarinalife9708]

Helleborus are beautiful. In German, they translate to „Christ‘s Rose“, as they bloom in deep Winter. Love the meaning, love the flower 🌺

[@JB-ic9xl]

The chili lime seasoning on boiled okra is so good! I get a bag of frozen okra add water and boil it in the microwave. Then strain the water and season it with the chili lime seasoning.

[@paulacrum8086]

I was at grocery store today and was speaking to another customer about how much eggs cost, and I accidentally dropped my grocery list in her buggy, which my husband noticed and retrieved it for me. She thought it was the one she lost, and I told her about the tip from your subscribers had mentioned. She thought it was brilliant and so do I, cause I am always losing it! She said she would look you up! Too funny!

[@lisanuorala1989]

I have 2 homes & have bought lots of furniture from Costco & adore almost all of it. I say almost because I’ve purchased 2 couches (sectionals) & haven’t like either of them. I do have a recliner that looked similar to the one you looked at & it’s extremely comfortable. I also own 3 mattresses we bought from Costco from the brand Ghost Bed that we love. Those are the only soft surfaces we have from Costco, the rest are consoles, tables, etc. My point is, I’m a large fan of Costco’s furniture, but I don’t think I’ll ever buy another couch at Costco.

[@shannonkelso3138]

I LOVE those frozen Strawberries! I have the ice bitting hereby jeebies too, so I put like 5 in a bowl and pop in the microwave for like 10 seconds! I love that a small amount of them is super satisfying and I don't feel like I need to eat the whole bag!

[@elsabiodelmundo]

We recently got the unreal bag of candies and they are all really good. And a lot less sugar which is nice. I really love the frozen fruit you got, Target has them in smaller bags and my favorite is the pineapple ones!

[@lorrainerivera7807]

Happy New Year to you and your family! 🎉💃🌺❤️ Thanks so much Becky. I moved back home in 2001, in the middle of the Pacific ocean. So I really really miss this kind of shopping day and stores!! Thanks for bringing us along! ❤❤❤

[@bbrhody831]

You worry me to death walking out in that parking lot alone after dark. Situational awareness is a must these days. We don't want to be seeing you on the news or worse yet a dateline episode!!!

[@farmer-red488]

Honestly I was thinking about that myself!
