COSTCO and VALUE VILLAGE Haul for Family of SEVEN {And a Scary Wasp Incident!}

[@farmer-red488]

Wtg Mac!!! Helping in an emergency like that and staying calm is wonderful young man! Good job mom and dad!

[@agathareimer2924]

Girl, I love that you support the sustainable logging. We are passionate about it too. We love going through Prince George for vacations. Love from the province next door.

[@justme-uw6bz]

Wow that was one heck of a shopping trip. I loved all the clothing.

[@MsSam66ok]

Great grocery haul. And I can’t believe the clothes you found, they look brand new and are of great quality!

[@VenisonforDinner]

I know!! I'm so excited about the clothes!!

[@KristaJ73]

❤ God bless you and everyone watching

[@thegranmama]

Totally enjoyed your video. I also use liquid Benadryl for that reason-it works so much faster than tablets. Great haul-thank you for sharing

[@botanicalbecca8443]

It IS so hard to find tees for boys that aren't obnoxious! Ugh even new. Love me some thrift shopping! The Doobie Bros cassette tape was a highlight for me. 😊 Thanks for sharing! You're inspiring me to get our kiddos' winter gear sorted. It gets just as cold here in Minnesota and we also don't have a wood stove for drying. Lotsa gear to gather! Have a great week, Kate! ❤

[@VenisonforDinner]

I agree about the boys tees! Just plain good cotton is a treasure to find. Thanks for joining us here.

[@renata-s5b]

I have just came back from my 8 hours job - so exhausted - it was such a treat to watch your video - thanks 😊

[@VenisonforDinner]

Im honoured thats how you chose to wind down

[@katieclancy9762]

Thanks for sharing your grocery haul with us!

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thanks for watching!

[@stephencameron1709]

Awesome haul Kate! Love your videos. I think I’ve binge watched them all. Thank you for the reminder about Benadryl. I should have some on hand. Recipe for Fever Roller I’ve used for years on our children, just another option before meds: using Young Living essential oils 15 drops peppermint 25 drops Thieves oil in a 10 ml roller. Fill the rest of the way with carrier oil eg. olive oil, grape seed oil, avocado oil. Put on roller top, shake well. Roll up and down their spine and bottom of feet. It works in minutes! Val C ❤🙏🏻

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thank you for this recipe!!!

[@Thisisit120]

Oh those heart pans will bring many memories For y’all. My birthday is February 12 and my mother made my birthday cake out of heart ❤️ pans every year. And boy do I miss that now.

[@kellierebkowec625]

Wow buT you are prepared for the winter

[@VenisonforDinner]

Yes indeed we are! Bring it on.

[@brandeegoodnight532]

Love watching your haul. Always so fun to find a good deal!, 😊

[@FallenHeights44]

I love seeing your hauls! I’m inspired to beef up my emergency medical kit in the car and the house. A month ago my six year old messed with a in ground wasp nest right by our house and got stung at least seven times. So scary. Mac did a great job. My six year old really complained about the stings (understandably so) even after homeopathic treatment so I did a bentonite clay bath and that seemed to help him a lot.

[@VenisonforDinner]

I agree Mac did a great job!! It's so sad when a little one gets all those stings!! Hard on a mama's heart.

[@courtneyevers4035]

Kirkland Chocolate chips ARE the best!!!! Lol I totally abandoned organic chocolate chips because these tartare soooo much better ( plus we are also a large family…. Of 11) So the chocolate chips fly off the shelves. And the price is right at Costco 😊 also. How do you create lists for a big trip like this? Or do you just shop and get what you see?

[@VenisonforDinner]

Yes I love those Kirkland chocolate chips!! And the price. For a trip like this I create lists for the separate stores I know we are going into. There might be one or two things that are impulse purchases. Like a wee treat at Costco. But mostly I have a list of what we need and stick to it. It's a big enough job that I don't need to get too distracted by shiny objects hahaha

[@suefrizzell7005]

My husband has been making his own beer for over 35 years, Its along process but he loves it.

[@VenisonforDinner]

That's very cool!

[@monahardy978]

For cold weather hunters pockets for a long day. 3 musketeers don't freeze like many other candy bars. Not health food but works for our hunters for a quick pick me up.

[@VenisonforDinner]

I have never had that chocolate bar!

[@monahardy978]

Well perhaps u can Google n find a recipe n make copycat ones for your hunters pockets. It's nougat in it.

[@andreamorrison8419]

You definitely got the mother load 😂! Definitely need to stop for the wine😊.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Hahahah yes indeed!

[@dallen4482]

Yes, checking brands at VV means finding good deals. I also skip anything from Walmart or Old Navy, etc. For laundry detergent, have you tried the liquid version from Norwex? I am using the powdered because it’s what I had in hand, but the enzymes in the liquid are better for getting out stains.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Oh that is good to know! Thanks!

[@lindsayholm7858]

The bumbleberry wine is my absolute favourite. Glad you got to go to Costco!!

[@VenisonforDinner]

Yes me too!

[@tuna02]

Amazing finds! I just love your town hauls.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Glad you like them!

[@apparitionappalachian4591]

Great video! ❤ I never considered well really knew that there is plastic in our clothing 🥴 so thanks to you I’m being more conscious in what I buy. Especially for the kids because handy downs are a must lol

[@VenisonforDinner]

Happy to help!

[@highroad3580]

Great savings and though you am make most anything, it takes so much time and energy to constantly be cooking, then there are those hunting trips, which will be coming up soon. Bonus on the warm clothing! Winter is coming before you know it. We live in the SE US but in higher elevation so we can get pretty cold here, too. There are not many really nice wool things here so I have to check the thrift stores or go online. Looking forward to your next vid!

[@VenisonforDinner]

“I can make anything but i cant make everything”

[@winkieandleah]

Stock up haul! I hate wasps too

[@jenerbeleggett371]

I truly adore and relate to how excited you get when you get a bargain, especially when it's something high quality for your family. Also, I live in the states and always hear people rave about Value Village-- I finally went to my first in Ontario and it was fabulous. Also learned that is the same as Savers in the States- although I truly think VV had better stuff!! Enjoy!

[@VenisonforDinner]

Do you feel like your Goodwill in the States is kinda like our VV?? I've heard that comparison.

[@jenerbeleggett371]

@@VenisonforDinner yes I would say so. I was VERY interested in the comparison as someone who thrifted a ton in our early days as a family and now do as my kids became more interested in late high school- I go about two times a week now for household, kitchen, clothing and more. The biggest difference seemed to be WHO was thrifting-- in Ontario it seemed like a true cross section of people were shopping proudly- while here in the states I still see people looking sheepish or embarrassed to thrift. Very interesting.

[@tanyagreco2743]

I didn’t know they still made cassette tapes

[@VenisonforDinner]

Only at thrift stores 😂

[@brendaandjohn1416]

Thank you for sharing your videos. God Bless all from Brenda in Ar.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Our pleasure!

[@sherigarrigus6488]

Great haul ❤ Blessings 😊

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thanks for watching

[@aessidhe6304]

If you take a Pepcid or Tagamet at same with the Benadryl, you will get faster uptake of your antihistamine. I keep both on hand in case hubs gets into some shell fish on accident at a restaurant. (Sometimes take-out chicken egg rolls aren’t chicken. 😢) Good luck with the glitter glue…. 😂. I still have glitter glue on the 10 ft ceiling of my dining room from the last project my sons did with glitter glue when they were 6 and 8 (they are now 16 and 18). I have never been able to figure out how they got it up there without getting it anywhere else (and neither of them has ever admitted to anything).

[@VenisonforDinner]

I wonder if we have Pepcid or Tagamet here in Canada?? I'll have to look into that. Yesssss.....I might regret the glitter glue purchase! Sounds like your boys had to work hard to get the glitter up on the ceiling hahaha

[@lynsmith2698]

Great deals at VV eh. We hit there for ourselves when there is time too. I love getting produce from desert hills. We are hoping to make a trip down a couple times a year once we move. Great video Kate. 🐝🇨🇦

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thank you! Gotta love a good deal. Desert Hills is pretty great eh!?

[@tchotchkegirl8880]

It so fun to see such a smile on your face. It was enjoyable to watch your video today. Do you except gifts from your viewers? Please let me know if you do. I am putting my christmas list together.

[@VenisonforDinner]

That's very kind of you. My PO Box is listed in the video description but remember it's expensive to send things to Canada

[@pellis8985]

Love seeing what you get on big shopping trips. How often would you say you go on those big trips? Once a season?

[@VenisonforDinner]

Oh boy.....a trip like that might be once a year?!

[@cathykillion6544]

Enjoyed the video

[@CameoFarmer]

Would love to see a short reel or something on your first aid kit! Moving to the country and needing some guidance.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Im about to do a vehicle prep kit that includes first aid!

[@hibbelers16]

Love your channel. Fun!

[@VenisonforDinner]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@judymcintire8061]

Awesome haul! Great deals!😊

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thanks for watching

[@mirandaEnglesby]

I love the Costco laundry soap. It has NO smell, that is why I buy it. I do not like the smell of soap on my clothes, they give me headaches, AND it does clean the clothes good.

[@VenisonforDinner]

So glad to hear that!

[@Denizcor]

I love the food haul videos! But I remember you mentioning you guys were only going to do ancestral diet or local non packaged foods sort of thing going forward??

[@VenisonforDinner]

Yaaaa we lost steam in summer 🤣

[@SmokeysBarn2024]

Love your videos!

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thanks so much, I appreciate you watching!

[@SmokeysBarn2024]

@@VenisonforDinner Of course! You guys do a church at home thing, right?

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

I find value village in Courtney a ripoff prices are way too high electrical stuff I keep buying doesn't work last the week in us no good we have a used store in town here that everything is $2 I wish I'd of knowing that before I took all my brand new T shirts into value village so now I take all my stuff that I'm getting rid of to the $2 store because none of my clothes fit me anymore because it's past three years I've put on major weight and most of my T shirts I gave to value villains were all like Jasper and stuff like that brand new never been worn When my daughter told me about this store I went there and got two core drills good size drills for $2 each

[@VenisonforDinner]

I agree, Value Village can be a ripoff but for us here in the north we don't have as many options and they do carry a lot of clothing which is my main concern. I like the sound of your $2 thrift store!!!

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

😁😁😁@@VenisonforDinner

[@annarickards4632]

Love everything about your top, mind sharing the brand?!

[@VenisonforDinner]

The pink top is by Magic Linen.

[@jacintheandrews4985]

The 2nd bottle of wine that you pulled out of the of was not full. Don't know if you noticed.

[@VenisonforDinner]

We had a wee glass in our hotel the night before 😂

[@emaleegraf5791]

Soooo jealous your Costco has the chosen mayo!!! The ones I’ve been to I. The states recently have only carried the Primal Kitchen brand and I am not a fan of that one.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Yes, I was so surprised to see it there myself!

[@NAllen-tf5yj]

Great haul!

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thanks! It was FUN!

[@faithopeloveful]

Way to go Mac! I always keep homeopathic Apis in a 200C potency on hand for stings and any inflammation that will come up. I have used several times on my grandchildren and seen them settle right down within 10 seconds.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Great tip!

[@sararussell6182]

Apis for stings is awesome! Takes all the pain away in minutes.

[@rachelgood6107]

[@meganross]

Is value village like a Good Will?

[@VenisonforDinner]

Yes it is!

[@VenisonforDinner]

@VenisonforDinner

[@VenisonforDinner]

Only it's not really a non-profit, it just likes to make people think it is.

[@kittyrichards9915]

I just don't know how young families do it with the cost of everything now.

[@VenisonforDinner]

It takes watching what you buy for sure!

[@kittyrichards9915]

Aren't the wool sweater itchy?

[@VenisonforDinner]

Not at all so comfy

[@jeanmarriott6313]

😀

[@mihaelalapuste9485]

Is your husband from Romania? Name sounds familiar.

[@VenisonforDinner]

His family heritage is Dutch but I know the name Marius crosses over to other European countries.

[@northernsprout5443]

I live in Ontario & I find Value Village way too expensive for a thrift store. I have a Salvation army in a town about 20 minutes away from me that does a 50% off sale every season and I can pick up a good winter jacket there for around $5 if I go early before it get's busy. I also have a Bibles for Missions thrift store that's in another town near me but it's a bit further away. They have really cheap stuff, shirts for $2, pants for $3-$5, coats for $5-$10 but again you have to go early before it's all picked over.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Wow you've got some great thrift stores nearby!! We really only have one in our town.
