Be sure to freeze the naan bread, it still tastes the exact same after freezing it and you don’t have to worry about it molding!

Great tip! Thank you so much!

You are a lovely mum Lauren, the boys are blessed to have you x

I was there yesterday. We just moved here a couple weeks ago and had to get a membership. we had Sams but transferred it to our son who still lives in Utah. A lot of fruits and veggies were cheaper at Wal Mart yesterday. I always here about how a lot of the fruits and veggies aren't as fresh in AK but compared to UT, they are top notch at all stores here.

Hello from Australia 🇦🇺 It is heartwarming to get a glimpse of life in Alaska with each of your fantastic videos. I love pickles too! It was so nice to see Everett and Luna too! Glad to know the Dr appointment was just an annual check up. Take care and keep well 😘

Hello Lauren 👋, another great video. We received our stickers and card in the mail. Thank you so much. Wow the produce is getting very high in price. We go to Costco in Ft.Wayne Indiana every Saturday

@kristiphillips7783 Рік тому

I had those types of thermos's when my son was in school. Still have then and use them. Myself and he loved them! I would warm up whatever in the morning and it was still perfect at lunch. Great for sending leftovers. He was a huge soup and pasta fan (still is at 22) so came in real handy with some peanut butter and saltine crackers to go with the soup. You might even be surprised at how often they are used outside of school also. That price is actually pretty good for 2! I probably paid close to that 15 years ago...LOL! Glad you finally found your box spring!

I feel your pain when shopping in a different location of your favorite store. Here in Birmingham we shop frequently at our nearest Publix but when I’m in a different part of town and shop at a different Publix I always feel like such a traitor.

@ThisAlaskaLife Рік тому

LOL! Yes, feels like you are cheating on your local store!

I live in Vermont and I'm very happy and also super confused with the amazing weather we have been having in November. Last couple days have been 70+ it's really mind blowing tbh

@brendastuemke5202 Рік тому

Same here, it’s been 65-75° in northern Minnesota! Crazy weather. Today it’s 29° and we have a wind warning. It’s deer hunting so I am sure the hunters are a little cold.

@judithniles4229 Рік тому

The weather has been really weird. I live in Maine and for the last two days it's been in the middle 70's! That's really weird because we should be seeing snow, but I'll take the 70's over snow any day.

@nancydineen6797 Рік тому

CT girl here and I was washing the car in a tank top and flip flops today. Wild!

@queenchescabeauty1151 Рік тому

Also, i agree with the appointment! I never use to go to the OBGYN because i never thought it was important only went during pregnancies.. now that i go regularly i found out i need to get tested for cancer at 24 yrs old.. so yes, make those appointments!!

@ThisAlaskaLife Рік тому

YES! Important to stay on top of things!

@donnaevans2005 Рік тому

With ALL the prices going up for food, I think Costco is your best choice. Thanks for sharing your trip! Love Costco hauls. Will see if our Costco carries those thermoses for soup.

@ThisAlaskaLife Рік тому

My Costco never got the thermoses, I will need to go back and grab a few. Yes, Costco saves me $$ but also time, I don't love the grocery store!

We used to let my kids drink the sparkling grape juice on New Years Eve. I’d get little plastic champagne glasses and they thought they were so grown up.

Thank you so much for watching! Yes, they are high!

@annielehnhardt_kolakowski5818 Рік тому

The amount you have on the counter, my Hubby and I pay about 250.00. Inflation is real. Not only is Alaska high, but then INFLATION CAME FOR A VISIT!

@rachaelegan1235 Рік тому

Glad you are going for your check ups. I found and was successfully treated for breast cancer after a routine mammogram. Interesting to see same products in uk and USA Costcos although I have had my husband going around and around telling him I have seen it in a video. Didn’t mention it was Alaska Costco. Happy Thanks giving to you and all the family x

@rose-marigibson6892 Рік тому

The pomegranates are fun to eat especially for kids, just make sure they wear old clothes because they do stain.

@brilliantbutblue Рік тому

Hi Friend , so glad you had a preventative health check up. Us Mums should prioritise our Health 🙏

@ThisAlaskaLife Рік тому

Hello friend!! Yes, we need to look after ourselves, which we both know is sometimes hard to do. Much love and prayers to you!!

@kebbasda Рік тому

This is awesome!! Prices are similar here in Nevada. Costco is a regular stop for us my biggest complaint is everything we love now has bioengineering 🤮 one example is, The tortilla crusted tilapia its the bomb but now has bioengineering. Nobody here interested in becoming a robot! Jealous of your organic section at that location too!! Have a wonderful holiday.

@ThisAlaskaLife Рік тому

This one has the best organic section! I need to hop over here more!

@nicoler.8581 Рік тому

For the burrata cheese, I recommend slicing it up with some tomatoes and peaches (or nectarines) and then drizzling it all with balsamic glaze. So good!

@kimmberlie573 Рік тому

Ahh the sample king at the end. 🥰 Love that jacket. Look a good on you too.

@dancieteague6854 Рік тому

My daughter last Halloween did the bat ravioli and the kids loved it , so did the adults. We have people from church come over and carve pumpkins it fun. Vaseline on your cuts will make your pumpkin last longer.Nan bread we make baby bite pizza. It was fun to make with kids and make pizza lunchables too. Have a blessed day from a very Hot weather in Texas .

Lauren, you can freeze the pomegranate seeds and then pull them out to snack on. I love to eat them right out of the freezer. You can also drink the juice! 😉

Good Evening Hamm Family ❤️ Hope y'all are doing well. We've had a busy weekend with our Family Campfire Reunion. We closed by going up town to our favorite Mexican restaurant. Finally, I'm comfy, cozy chillin' in my chair with a cup of tea ☕ I was watching your video and my Mark walked in and asked, "How often does she go to Costco?" I told him weekly. He looked at me with a dumbfounded grin and said, "Yea, you're never going shopping with her... at least not with your credit card." Then he laughed, walking away, shaking his head. He's such a goof 😁 I always find something in your hauls that end up on my shopping list. Those Golden Kiwis are my favorite. Burrata... Yum. Those Naans are good with spinach-artichoke dip... or mini pizza bites 😋 I love that Everett remembered to wash those little fingers 🧼 Good to see Weston and Luna too 😻 Have a good night and wonderful week ahead. Yah's Blessings 🤗

@whatmyohmy Рік тому

Funny! Until you added the mattress into the total I said the total was $398:00 Dollars. Always love your hauls! Accept for many years ago going into a place and shopping. Before they closed down. It was just all Bread and Snacks you know Twinkies cupcakes etc nothing else. Even if you had a farm, you could buy racks of bread and snacks they called pig food! And I also lived across a place called Country Kitchen where they made the bread. Big trucks would pull up with the flour and at times there would be white powdery clouds in the air. Non Toxic of course! That Costco is the only second place I've seen that much Bread! Great Video Thumbs Up

I deseed pomegranates when they are in season and freeze them in ziplock bags use them in salads, yogurt, granola. Love them all year long. It is tedious but worth it. A good job for young men!

This was a perfect way to spend an afternoon with you. Good thing you visited this Costco. That was a nice surprise finding the box spring. You did good with your haul. Nice variety of things. We don't have a Costco close to us. All the Sam's Clubs are within 2 hours of us in either 4 directions we go. (W, Bristol Virginia, N Bluefield West Virginia, E, Roanoke, Virginia, S, Winston-Salem, N.C.) I love raviollis & never noticed the pumpkin & bats. I thought the napkins were a little steep. Glad you got them. Never seem to have enough those. Enjoy the rest of your day. Glad Dr's. was just a follow up. High paws to Luna. High fives to the boys!

That's alot of money Lauren for such a little bit you have gotten. But the prices at our Costco in Bakersfield California are going higher also. But thank the good Lord for everything 🙏

@michellejaggard9657 Рік тому

Here in Texas we are paying $6 for an 18 pack for Eggland. I have chickens, I live in town but I'm only getting 3 to 4 eggs a day. Are the pumpkins grown there? Didn't know if growing season is long enough. I grew 30. The tomatoes didn't seem any higher than here. I grew my little tomatoes. Rest of garden fizzled except summer and winter squash. Praying it does better next year. My husband and I are living on SS of money can be tight.
