FIRST DAY OF COLLEGE | The University of Alabama

[@prettyfunparty12]

I have a Sam's club membership and I freaking love it because you get such big quantities of food that will last you up six or seven months.

[@ajallheart]

Can you do a haul next time you do a target run or grocery haul? Yes a Sams membership is worth it even if you go once a month you can get vitamins or good amounts of fruit and veggies

[@KaylnStrickland]

Sam's literally is a life savor for me in college. I recommend a membership to all college students!

[@lindastreasuredpetspetsitt5806]

I’m sure you called your landlord about your washer! They need to come and flush the line. You don’t want water getting into your floors, walls, or carpet. It’s really hard to get rid of mold, especially when you can’t see it behind the walls. Hope you had a very Happy Birthday 🎉🥳 And Sam’s Club/Costco are great for household stuff(laundry supplies, trash bags, paper towel, Tpaper), and your packaged foods....oatmeal and anything else you buy in a box.

[@destinyhood7185]

I love how her cat just sat their looking at the mess and didn’t move till she started to clean it up 😂😂

[@Catsup.]

Frikity frakity where am I gonna our this bowl of oatmeal 💀

[@devonemalikxo]

you should try making overnight oats in advance for when you’re in a rush!

[@jordanswartz7012]

Angelica hi do you want to support each other?

[@sylvestr79]

Yesssssss. I make them for school (counselor at a primary school) every night. Perfect and I add PB 2 for flavor

[@jordanswartz7012]

Kelly hi do u want to support each other?

[@ashwittmann9404]

Definitely worth it! Also cheap gas with membership at either place. Nice for fruit and veggies and have a lot of other nice things too! Also you can add family members when you sign up and they can get their card at any location.

[@carleyjones5462]

Our basement floods every summer or so and we use a shop vacuum to clean it! Way easier than towels :)

[@ashleighfranklin386]

I personally like Costco over Sams! But yes, even with you living by yourself you can get so much more than food in bulk! They have beauty products, medicine, vitamins, toiletries, and even gift cards for a higher price value! HIGHLY recommend Costco!!!! ( there’s one right by the galleria I would stay away from it on Sundays though, church crowd takes over !! Lol )

[@Cherry5223]

I second this!! I am a HUGE Costco fan!! I literally can buy most items from there and I end up saving so much money especially whenever they have their coupons.

[@lauralong9654]

A Sam’s membership is definitely worth it! Plus they have deals every month where certain items will be even less money!

[@myreveless33]

A Costco membership is definitely worth it! They always have deals for not only food, but also house products such as: shampoo, vitamins, toothpaste, soap, pens, water bottles, etc!

[@mirandah.6103]

Girl you set a timer on my alexa😂

[@kaitlynditch329]

Miranda H. Me too😂

[@emilysvenson9164]

Miranda H. Every time a KZbinr says "Alexa", I have to quickly turn down my phone volume.

[@darrellhart8129]

Oh, college is so much better once you're in all classes for your major. That's when it actually gets fun and stuff starts making sense.

[@tonymunoz2858]

Keep your sams club membership And use it for online orders. Still get there bulk rates and there delivery is super quick

[@jamiemcdonald5152]

Madi go to Pinterest the have meal plans lists to go with the meal plans.

[@emma4901]

As a student living alone, I use my Costco membership a lot! Between buying tampons, paper towel, toilet paper, Kleenex, frozen fruit/veggies and protein bars I definitely get my money’s worth! Honestly couldn’t go without a membership now!

[@Clee323]

Sam's Club has student memberships so being an Alabama student you should receive a discount in addition to that they have temp memberships that allow you to visit and see if you like it if you do buy during that time they do charge a little fee for your purchase. See what you buy most of it may not be a good investment for 1 person but if you go in and split products with other people and the cost it could be cheaper.

[@RaneishaBrister]

Hey Madi, I'm in college too and I use my Sam's membership to buy water, tissue, paper towels, and cleaning supplies. I also love buying my breakfast food in bulk too

[@taylurrwolf]

It saves a lot of money to sit down on a Sunday and plan out exactly what your meals are going to be for the following week or 2 and then shop for the stuff specifically for that and then whatever random you decide to have for lunch. :) also a sams membership is worth it

[@leahf.6012]

I would most definitely recommend getting a Sam’s membership! It does save on money overall, but it’s also time saving. Instead if running to the grocery store every week or two, now we only go once or every other month. Not to mention (at least in our area) it’s a once a year payment for the membership!🙌🏾♥️ Lol! I’m also soooo excited for this video! I started watching your channel your sophomore/junior year of high school! It’s crazy to see how much you’ve blossomed!⭐️ LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!🌻

[@joyfuljaj]

get some old, worn out towels from your parents (or just go buy some extra cheap ones) for cleaning up spills and leaks. I keep a shelf of them.

[@sarahhatt5905]

A sam's membership is so useful! Especially for things that dont go bad like toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies, etc.

[@jordans3276]

ahh omg your cat is so cute !!😍 so happy the college vlogs are back as well, definitely some of my fav vids!

[@jordanswartz7012]

Jordan S hi do you want to support each other?

[@c.nicholle8250]

Congratulations on the first day of your junior yearrrr! You’ll be graduating before you know it! 😩🎉🎈

[@destinydomzalski3548]

Sams is so worth it! I’ve found it’s cheaper to buy in bulk! Absolutely love it!!

[@Novelust]

I say go for the membership! My parents have one for Sam’s Club that I use, but Costco and BJ’s are good too (whichever is closer to you). I don’t buy everything in bulk cause I switch up my products a lot, but it helps for things you consistent buy (in your case - cat food, oatmeal, coffee)

[@MPresley]

I used to work at Costco in Canada but it’s basically the same with the memberships. For the gold star, you don’t get anything back up it’s the cheaper of the two. The executive card, I think in Canada you need to spend average $200 a month to get half the cash back on your membership and the executive membership here is around $120. I would say it’s worth it because it isn’t only good you can purchase, but weight it out, pros and cons to see :)

[@allieforshee3195]

I wouldn't get a sam's membership. I'm on my mom's membership but I also live alone and don't ever go! It's just really expensive when you need multiple things since it's in bulk, and I don't ever use the stuff before it goes bad if it's fruit or meat or something. The thing I really would use it for is the remade meals they have in the deli section. They come in a big pan and all you have to do is pop it in the oven, but I don't think just that is worth it if you live alone. If anything, I would try to find someone to split it with you and have a membership together if you really want to have the membership! That way it's cheaper but you still get the good deals. And if you have the membership you can get gas there too and it's always cheaper there!!

[@aimeekrzywicki6909]

Yes, for stuff like TP , sparkling water, cat litter, paper towels, protein powder, oats, paper towels I lived alone and stuff that wouldn’t go bad quickly I buy in bulk Like tp, cat stuff, some cleaning stuff paper towels pads etc

[@AnsleighJade]

I love sams especially for gas and the things you eat everyday and for pet food. But I buy my essentials in bulk, but my mom and all my sisters share it as well

[@livinglikecourt]

This is my all time FAVORITE thumbnail you’ve ever made!!!! 😍😍 Sooo freaking cute I’m obsessed. Beautiful job girl it made me so so hyped for the video before I even watched it 💗

[@mckaylahooten4861]

Yes! Get a membership! It’s like $40 a month, you can get more than just food! It’s just my boyfriend and I and we buy in bulk and it’s amazing!

[@amandamills9724]

Omg you set my Alexa for 10 minutes 😂😂 im dying

[@kbl55429]

Sams is worth it alone for the cheaper gas but if you’re not sure you can go in and look around without a membership and see how you like it. If you like it and want to buy goods then you’ll need a membership and I think they give discounts to college students.

[@paigeschannel6868]

I love you’re new intro Madi :)

[@jordanswartz7012]

Paige’s Channel hi do you want to support each other?

[@lindsayallen1042]

sams is totally worth it, you get a lot more for cheaper than you would normally get things and it keeps you from stocking up for a while especially alone. things like toilet paper and paper towels are good for bulk because you definitely need those things and it lasts for a long time

[@llayceecrandall9763]

My husband and I have a sams club membership and it is just the two of us. I use it mostly for toilet paper, dog food, and condiments. We also buy our bags of chicken there. I think it’s worth it! We get most of our groceries from Walmart grocery pickup though 💗

[@hayleeclark2532]

Definitely worth it for the membership! I pay 60 for Costco. You get cheap gas as well. It’s nice to buy bulk of things you eat on the regular and all your essentials.

[@caitwxxx]

Sams is worth it to me. There is always so much to choose from. They will send you a flyer in the mail for the items that will be on sale. On the plus side they offer medications cheaper through their pharmacy . For someone who doesn't have insurance this helps a whole lot and plus they do have name brand clothes. I got a under armor shirt about a month ago for $6.

[@anamariacampbell3837]

Your cat is so cute!! I love cats!!😭😍💓

[@alyssagrace19]

madi let me just say I love your handwriting. like that is so random i know but I wish mine was like that

[@BiancaJuliaVlogs]

itz.me.alyssa I was thinking the same!

[@summer2156]

having a sam's membership is definitely worth it. I dont know about it in Alabama but in Las Vegas, Sam's has a gas station. But the food wise its alot cheaper. Much love! Hope you had a great first day

[@jordanswartz7012]

Danielle Knjazkov hi do you want to support each other?

[@KateRussellVideos]

soooo happy college vlogs are back🧡

[@jordanswartz7012]

Kate Russell hi do you want to support each other?

[@sydneyyyxxoo]

Kate Russell love your videos girly!!

[@lexywentz9523]

Sams membership is so worth it!! Specially on house hold items alone.

[@makaylamakeup135]

Sams would be good for cat food, trash bags, paper towel and toilet paper. Things like that. I think it’s a good choice.

[@gabbymeuse]

girlll the shirt is SO FLATTERING on you!!

[@liliansmeenge3297]

Your apartment flooding just suckd. Credits for being strong and not crying. I would definately cry

[@tammy-leighnorkie1751]

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. Love you Madi! ❤️❤️

[@jordanswartz7012]

Tammy-leigh Norkie hi do you want to support each other?

[@kaelynkwiecinski6403]

can you link where your top if from? I’m in love but can’t seem to find it :( Also sam’s membership is amazing Love you girly!!!

[@vbabe360]

Absolutely love your personality and taste in music and you’re gorgeous!!

[@meganneely7178]

It’s nice to have memberships for Sam’s or Costco for nonperishable items you buy a lot:)

[@vfjohnston]

i’m pretty sure Heritage House is just a Tuscaloosa/Birmingham area thing

[@westiebesties1321]

I think costco is worth it. Even if it’s just for the gas , because they typically have cheaper gas at least where I am from! Plus I think buying certain things in bulk can save money and be more convenient!

[@niicolerenae9264]

You should try to get the Huge reusable tote bags for food shopping cuz it’ll be easier carrying everything

[@maggiebailey4018]

Publix is my weakness. 😭. Best food stuff there. The bakery in Publix is my weakness. Lol.

[@makeupgal9968]

Yes Sam’s is worth it! A lot cheaper to buy bulk than go to the grocery store every 2 weeks. Plus they have more than just food- clothes, furniture, and more!

[@jordanswartz7012]

makeupgal99 hi do you want to support each other?

[@courtneyhall8252]

Can you do a game day get ready with me on Saturday? Like show what you do to prep for game day.

[@MadisonWestbrooke]

Yes!! Our game is away this weekend but definitely next home game:)

[@cortneyanglin]

When you make oatmeal at night and then put it in fridge overnight it takes away carbs! Btw I love you so much Madi!

[@kaileyferguson1287]

Girl yes, we have sams club here & it’s amazing even if you’re living alone get more cheaper and it lasts longer!

[@Clubpenguinlover45]

If you have roommates you could split a Costco member ship. My roommates and I did that last year and we are doing it again this year. We would split food too like one person would buy pancake mix, cereal, etc for everyone and someone else would buy something else

[@cwfcwfcwf]

Welcome to 15th grade, LOL. Love you, Madi. :)

[@totallytubulartay]

Omg Madi! That’s unacceptable. The washer needs to be fixed (obviously) & I hope you’re getting it settled. Btw, I don’t think Sams is worth it for one person, but idk it is good to buy things in bulk soupy don’t gave to go out often. If you need it for convenience reasons, I’d get a Sams card. Plus they have a cute food court with yummy pizza and hot dogs (for cheap!) lol. So yeah maybe get one.

[@Clee323]

Happpppppyyyyy first day!! Hope this year is successful!!

[@boroblastbritt7]

having a sams club membership is definitely worth it and their gas is always so much cheaper than speedway or other gas stations!

[@alannaallen4810]

I have a Costco membership and I find it definitely worth it for cheaper gas, toilet paper, paper towels, and laundry/cleaning supplies

[@megankleist]

Sometimes places like Sams and Costco you can get a discount on membership when you are a student.

[@laurenvazquez6778]

Do you not have emergency maintenance at your apartment?? I’d be calling them ASAP!

[@RoseCandle2022]

Not to be a mum but u need to get that water issue looked at. You’ll end up with mould or an electric problem! Hope it gets sorted soon xxx

[@MidnightNoriko]

I was like “do you even have time to eat the oatmeal since you have to leave in 7 minutes?” And then you brought the whole bowl with you and I was wheezing 😂

[@MadisonWestbrooke]

Idk why i thought that was a good idea tbh

[@destinydillon444]

Sams club membership is def worth it! You can get snacks and drinks and toilet paper and other items in bulk and won’t need to buy more for a while since you’re living by yourself! My mom had one when me and my siblings were all in public school and would get snacks for lunches and after school.

[@jordanswartz7012]

Destiny Dillon hi do you want to support each other?

[@laurathompson4458]

Sam’s or Costco is good for TP, PT, car/dog food, drinks. As far as food for a single college student bulk is wasteful unless it is some normally used everyday dry items

[@jerjerdoll2459]

When you told Alexa to step a timer mine also set one lol. It scared me !!!! I say get a Sams memebership because there are so many good deals you can get there ! It’s def worth it. Good luck with your classes this year girl!!!!

[@oliviabergin99]

As a far as I know here in Canada we only have Costco and I definitely think it is worth it to buy things in bulk that you go through quickly and stuff that doesn’t go bad but cause you live alone maybe refrain from buying things that’ll go bad quickly. I don’t have a membership cause I still live at home but my mom does

[@Hottieismynickname]

That used to happen to our washer. Have someone come check to see if your washer is unbalanced☺️

[@carrieann8089]

Costco is worth it for me because movie tickets are cheaper and for different kinds of foods you can buy in bulk and the price is worth it. The other day I got those Starbucks mocha drinks but in a bigger bulk for $18. But I drink those a lot so it’ll last me at least a few weeks.

[@AshleyJade18]

7:11 ... Why does this angle feel sooooo stalkerish!!! 😂

[@catherinegeer3883]

me and my boyfriend have a sams membership and yeah it’s nice for snack items and beverages but i don’t think it’s necessary at all, there are good student deals through unidays or if you can wait till around thanksgiving or check groupon and you can get amazing deals // also they both do day memberships so you can buy that and walk around and see if you like it enough to get a membership

[@shymarrs9719]

I have a sams membership and its just me my fiance and our 4 month baby and its amazing definitely worth it we get everything basically there from baby items to our person hygiene items. To cleaning supplies and pet stuff and food

[@kelseyburker1740]

A Sam’s membership is definitely worth it!!

[@billiejopierson371]

Somethings are worth it to buy at Sam’s and then the rest by at a store

[@faithstegler882]

I have Sams but I would say it is more for big family’s. Yeah you can buy in Bulk but it depends if get bored with food. I get bored eating the same thing over a span of time so I like changing things up frequently.

[@simonottewell7475]

Hope you had a great birthday Madi. God bless!

[@BiancaJuliaVlogs]

I love the sunflowers 🌻 thank you for sharing

[@butterflysugarbby]

Buying things like toilet paper dish soap laundry soap is good in bulk.

[@deannakachinosky5079]

I have a Costco membership and as a college student that lives in an apartment alone. I don’t think it’s worth it. A lot of it goes bad too soon or I just forget about it. I also eat some meals at my sorority house (Pi Phi sisters!) so I don’t eat at home every day.

[@graciechavez2063]

Did you contact the maintenance or landlord? lol oh Madi 😂😂😂🙈

[@jadahjones4571]

I have a Costco membership and it is amazing 😁😆. And Costco also send half that you spend the whole year in a Costco check which is amazing.

[@britkneeheartsbeauty]

Sams and Costco worth it for bottled water/paper towel/toilet paper/cookies and fruit alone lol. Plus you can do mini prep work with certain freezable foods.

[@k_untyKnuckle69]

It is worth it I can buy detergent in bulk and also apples and meat as well also toilet paper and paper towels and it last me about a good 7’months so it is a good investment

[@whitneyhodge8971]

Highly recommend Sam’s or Costco it means you only have to go to the store couple times a month!

[@kaylajones358]

Living vicariously through you! Jealous! Wish I would have got to college!

[@emmabisser8106]

anyone else here in 2021 watching ALL madis vlogs ?

[@kaitlyndavis9311]

If you do get a Sams membership it’s only $45 for a whole year

[@kayleeshepherd290]

I have a sams club membership and would 10/10 recommend getting one! I buy most of my pantry stuff there and it last me a couple months!

[@iluv819]

I have a sams membership ! And live alone , I LOVE it for my toiletries , like tooth paste , toilet paper, paper towels ,etc !!!

[@kazlynwilliamson2804]

I have a Sam's club membership and i absolutely LOVE it! You get great ( and a lot of) food for a great price. with your membership you can also get gas for an amazing price! Love your videos lots!

[@chloe6185]
