Can I just say how fortunate U2 girls are to have each other as sisters friends and companions as you raise your families God bless you all
Agreed! I always wanted a sister for a friend!

amen to that!
Make your own brown sugar = organic sugar plus organic molasses, mix with your Kitchenaid (2 cups sugar to about 1-2 TAB molasses, make it the dark color you like). You can mix up just a small amount if you wish. You will never go back.
I do this too! Tastes so much better. The Kneady Homesteader recipe is 8 c sugar to 1 cup molasses if you want to make more at a time. Then she soaks a clay sugar bear in water & puts it on top of the sugar in the container. I put mine in a Tupperware container & don't need the clay sugar bear.
I find it hard to locate molasses ... I might have to order in line maybe 🤔
You could also half it with laura. That’s what I do with my azure order, buy in bulk and split with someone
Thank you so much I am going to do this is soon as I can!!
I just buy brown sugar, tried it n didn’t find it worth the hassle
So nice to have a sister as a friend❤
Amazing to see your Dubliner and Kerrygold buys in Costco! I live in West Cork, Ireland and I work in the Dubliner cheese factory 2 mins from our farm. My husbands cows supply the milk. We also drink our own milk and I followed your channel for the sourdough and food making gems. So it’s amazing to see you using Irish goods. It’s a Co-op owned factory meaning all the diary farmers that supply are the shareholders. They are very passionate about their dairy and cheese down here! We live in an old farmhouse so very little food storage. Everything in the US looks massive! Love your videos.
How exciting to hear from you...Thank you so much for sharing! I love learning this kind of info...
@catherinebiggs322 Thank you for sharing this info about Dubliner. I’m in Texas and have been buying Irish dairy products for a few years now because of its lack of chemicals and preservatives. Thank you for your dedication to wholesomeness! ❣️
This is so amazing, thank you for sharing! Love the Irish butter!
Wow, thank you for sharing that. We love Kerigold and Dubliner! Waving from Pennsylvania.
We love our KerryGold!
Will have to look for the cheese 😊
West Virginia, USA
My husband has worked for costco for almost 25 years and is now an executive with the company. Fun to see you all discover costco when it has been a GIGANTIC part of our lives for 30 years lol. On a side note (I don’t know if anyone said it here) but Costco’s Kirkland signature brand is often made by competing companies and Costco ensures that whatever is made for KS brand is the highest quality. That is why a lot of times you won’t find your favorite KS items in the store sometimes. They are most likely undergoing rebranding or the quality wasn’t as good and they need to find another manufacturer that will meet their high standards.
i shopped at Costco in CA but i live in Gainesville FL & we need one to edge out Sams.
It's always a great idea to bring a cooler for frozen/cold items. The frozen fruit is amazing!
I love these two amazing, creative, beautiful, strong sisters. Thank you for everything you are creating on this planet.
Put a slice of bread in the brown sugar if it gets hard. Overnight the bread will release its moister to make the sugar soft again. Remember to throw the bread away after it's done its job.
Priceless thanks 👍 🙏
if you wrap it up tightly and then put it in a ziplock bag tightly, it will stay fresh for a long time. I have had my Costco bag for over a year and it is always fresh like new. Much easier than the bread method, cuz if you forget about changing the bread it just gets hard anyway.
My grandma always put bread in her brown sugar, too!
This works so well!
Been doing this for years!
I really enjoyed watching this video of you ladies shopping! Your excitement is infectious!
so fun to thrift with friends!
Fun video!! I am 4 hours away from a Costco...FYI: The Kirklands brand toilet paper is the best and a great price!! Sometimes they will limit you to only 1 package but it's a big package. Also, for the price they have great clothes!!! Thank you for taking us along. You will have to let us know how you like the various items you purchased. It was good to see your sister and baby as well!! Sisters are the best!!
YES YES YES, please keep doing these hauls! I love seeing how you guys determine what is healthy/ good or not! Please let us know about this metabolism diet too!
To keep the brown sugar soft....put a slice of bread inside the brown sugar container. It will not mold. It will keep your brown sugar absolutely moist. Replace it with new slice every month.
You will LOVE COSTCO!!
FYI, you cannot depend on the color of the butter anymore. the additive to make cheddar cheese orange is sometimes added to butter so it is more yellow, which makes you think it is better for you. You can use avocado oil for any recipe that calls for vegetable oil since it is a neutral/flavorless oil.
I agree, when my sister was little girl she used to love store bought butter over homemade ones. My mother used to add little salt and food colouring and pack in container, and she happily ate them 😅 for whole 8 years she didn't know she was eating this.
All I wanted to say is, they do add something in it which makes it tastier and appealing
It also depends on time of year
Never add artificial color to any home made item, it defeats the purpose.
I don't know how it is in the US, but here in Spain on that orange cheddar the natural color is listed in the ingredients. That would be same with butter. But i've never seen in my entire life butter with food coloring in it.
This is such a cute video! Steel cut oats only take 20 minutes in the instant pot. We love them!
You could have split the brown sugar between the two homes. :)
I do it 10 minutes
But I soak it 24 hrs first
Exactly!!
I've never seen that in Spain.
I do 10 minutes with no soak! These ones at Costco :)
Nothing like shopping with a sister. I always end up getting more things with that sisterly influence. To keep my brown sugar from hardening, put a marshmallow in the bag or container if you decant it!!Yup!! It works. This was fun. We have a family of only 3, but a Costco run with a friend is like a field trip for me. Thanks for bringing us along!
Lol my sister and I just went to Costco together today…except with all our kids 😅 so not as relaxing haha. Then we both went home and watched this. 😂
As an Australian I've never heard of Aussie bites 🤣 with those ingredients. We do Anzac biscuits!
😅 I was thinking the same!
@KB-qo8kr could be protecting themselves from illegal use of the word ANZAC as you need permission.
We love Costco's selection
The price is different depending on the original source. Take a cooler with you next time for the frozen goodies. Do a little research because sometimes the prices at Costco are higher than the grocery store. You two are like kids in a candy store!💕
Pumpkin great deal
For your brown sugar, get a little clay bear. You moisten it and it keeps the sugar moist in an airtight container.
What is a clay bear and where would you get it? My brown sugar always turns to a rock.
@@lilycardoso4679 I got mine off Amazon
I have a clay bear and I love it. Keeps brown sugar so soft but I recently heard you can put a big marshmallow in brown sugar and it stays soft.
I just put a heal of bread inside and it keeps the brown sugar from getting hard.
Costco is my “clubbin” in my 40s 🤣 I LOVE IT. The flour is cheap, dog food, toilet paper, etc. My recommendation is that costco has a rotation of sales every month and when something like kerrygold is on sale, i buy the max at $3 off each. So many things I buy In bulk when on sale. Also if you don’t like the taste of something, you can return it no questions asked.
If you get their credit card and do the executive membership, you get so much money back. Gas is 4% back. If you have executive membership, you get 2% back on everything (separate from the credit card). I could go on forever….rental cars, furniture etc. 😂😂
Yes! Stock up on the rotation sales. Learn how much you need. You will never pay the retail price.
How do you find out what things are on sale?
I just got a Costco membership and I love it! I actually made a list of all organic products they carry from dairy, produce, meat, frozen fruit, etc.. and then I broke down the pricing to compare to other stores (like Trader Joe’s - which I love for their seasonal goods!) and it doesn’t compare - you will save so much money. 😊

I feel like I was just hanging out with you both, thanks for taking us along and being down to earth!!
Loved seeing you two together and your Costco shopping haul.
I drive an hour to get to Costco each month. I bought two of their frozen foods bags and I've never had a problem with anything melting before I got it into the freezer back home. And it usually takes me 1.5 hours to get all the frozen foods from the store into my freezer.
I have been a Costco shopper for at least 15 years. Great prices and products. It takes a little while to get the lay of the land but it is worth it, especially for organic products. ❤
Avocado oil is best for roasting veggies as it takes high heat best
You are hooked! So fun to see you both at Costco. I have been shopping at Costco since they migrated to the east coast, we have four children and for a family of six, had buy food on a budget. Well, many years have passed and all the children are grown, with families of their own and I still shop at Costco. So do they! The quality and prices can not be beat. So, you will soon make Costco one of your stops for supplies. By the way, really admire you, your show is terrific, really enjoy you and your whole family.
Just put some slices of bread in your brown sugar container...I never have issues.
I just saw this and thank you so much. I do not live near a Costco , the closest is an hour drive and another is more than 2.
I also am home bound so can’t go. But seeing this makes me want to make a list for a friend! Haha
You could get raw cane sugar and molasses, and just make your own brown sugar as needed
Costco tip when buying frozen/refrigerated items get a couple of large bags for meat from the meat department. Then after checkout go to the beverage and fill up ice in the bags Costco doesn't mind
The steel cut oats are amazing, they cook less than regular steel cut oats like 5-7 minutes. My favorite
That was so much fun watching you gals shop for the first time at Costco.
Costco sells bob’s red mill organic steel cut oats that cook quickly. Only seven minutes and they’re delicious. Plain of course.
Here's a useful tip! When you have a long drive home and you need frozen foods of any kind, either take a cooler with you and buy bags of ice while there to pack the frozen foods in the coolers, OR if you have enough money to spare and you forgot to bring your cooler with you, buy one there at the store and a bag of ice and absolutely be sure that the frozen foods you bought there is the very last item you grab on your way to the check out lane. So that way you can immediately put the frozen foods in with the ice in the cooler there before you continue checking out the rest of your products.
Literally loved this! You guys are the best
Add a piece of broken clay pottery to the brown sugar. Soak it in water first, wipe off and it will keep the brown sugar soft forever!
How cool to get to shop with your sister! Enjoyed this video, thank you.
I would love to go shopping at Costco with my sister - it would be a blast
Watched you looking at the beef jerky and beef sticks. You have a wonderful dehydrator. You could so easily make your own. Slice a piece of meat paper thin and dry. You guys are fun to watch. Have a great day.
I think they do some many homemade/natural things from scratch, some things are easier just to buy sometimes.
Might be a good idea to buy together and split when you can. 😊
We live in the south and an hour away from big stores. We just keep a cooler and couple insulated bags in the back 😆.
Also, when you both want it but not that much, split it! My mom and I split stuff ALL the time!
Love Costco!!! Would never watch a video on any other shopping only Costco. You'll be back!
Remember if for any reason you don't like it...take it back!!
Put your brown sugar into containers to keep it soft.
You can make homemade brown sugar. It’s easy… Also you can get a terracotta stone soak it in warm for 10 minutes and put it into a container and it keeps it soft.
Love Costco . But order a lot from Azure. You made great choices for your first visit !
People say only big families could use Costco or Sams no I have no children and I use Costco‘s and I save a whole Lotta money because I don’t have to go to the grocery store every two weeks. Just get things in bulks 😃
Love this video! So fun! I just put a piece of white bread in my brown sugar and it keeps it soft! Also, any cookies that get hard, do the same thing!
I do that too! :)
Put a slice of bread in your brown sugar and keep in a sealed container and it will stay soft a long time if the sugar gets hard just switch to a new slice and seal and it will soften up again
Just a simple trick to hardened brown sugar…..put a crust of bread in the container with it….keeps it moist
Love seeing you two together. So cute!
If you store the brown sugar in the refrigerator it won't get hard
Kerry Gold butter and cheese are amazing
See if your Costco carries Coaches Oats. It’s delicious, steel cut and cooks in 5 minutes.
Lisa, put a piece or 2 of 🍞🍞🍞 bread in the brown sugar, it will keep it from getting hard. I bought a big bag like that in March, and it is still nice and soft!!!!
Put a piece of bread in with your brown sugar and it will stay moist.
To keep brown sugar from hardening this is what I do. I put it in a glass jar and put a piece of bread on top. Stays soft and perfect to use 😊
You can make your own brown sugar. I use a 2 cup nonbleached sugar with 1/4c molasses, or add more if you want a darker sugar.
I’m wanting to say,” yes it’s a good deal” to everything you’re wondering about. Costco is a win for all the things in your cart.
Wow you have so many more organic choices than we do here in Quebec, Canada, lucky you!
To stop your brown sugar going hard from moisture just add a small piece of bread to it once it’s opened and reseal. It will stay soft and easy to use.......
The best way to cook oats is to soak them, and then cook them. The coconut oil is awesome! Everything you girls got were great items. as you can tell, I love this place! lol😄
I like the organic sprouted oats at our Costco, but I didn't see them at this one.
Love shopping with my sister, we talk each other in to and out of buying and we each try new things!
Oh! And Kirkland products are great! You can Google where they get their items from. It's usually top brands. So your Kirkland grass fed butter is more than likely from Kerry's and repackaged for Costco
Buy a brown sugar stone to keep it from hardening. It works great. Just wet the stone and put it in the bag of brown sugar.
I love that you’re convincing each other in and out of purchasing items 😂 also that you’re mentioning that things are packaged in plastic, reading ingredients, making sure things are organic. That’s exactly where my brain is when shopping too!
Steele cut oats cooked in an instant pot is the best way to cook them. I make a large batch and refrigerate them so we can just heat up in the microwave each morning. It takes about 10 minutes to cook in the instant pot
Good morning! I buy the hemp hearts and chia seeds there! Also baby wipes ❤️ I also love to get Parmesan cheese and their frozen blueberries are a great price. Their rotisserie chickens are cheap (4.99 yesterday!!) The guacamole cups are to die for too when you need a quick snack for kids
I enjoyed this video. My sister and I do a lot of shopping and talking together about foods we like.
If you put the brown sugar in a glass jar and put plastic on top of it before you seal it up it will stay soft.
I wish our Costco would bring back “ farmers we know” organic rolled oats. I’m out and they haven’t had it for months
Me too!
I love watching you sisters shop together!! 🥰🥰
I'm Irish and I live in Ireland and I'm so delighted that you like our butter and cheese Kerry gold is very popular in the US, love your videos
I love Kerry Gold!
😂😂😂 y’all are cracking me up
This is an old video and maybe someone already mentioned... put a slice of bread in your brown sugar container or bag!! sucks up moisture and keeps your brown sugar nice and soft. A miracle.
Love me some adrenal cocktails!🤣 They were a game changer for my sodium and potassium levels during my pregnancy and now I can't live without them. I'd love to know what you think when you start incorporating them!
Do you have a link to recipes?
Avacado oil half that size is now $19.98 at Walmart…that’s a really good price. Read the label on the Cape Cod chips. We recently discovered the BBQ flavor contains Bioengineered food ingredients.
You really have to read ingredients on the Kirklands products.
On any product.Anywhere.
A damp paper towel inside the brown sugar works if it gets hard.
Costco now has their own grass fed butter that’s even better equality and a better price!
Brown sugar, hint! No matter what container or Ziploc bag you put brown sugar in always add a slice of white bread. It keeps the brown sugar from hardening, and it never molds. 😂❤
I use avocado oil and coconut oil also. Avocados oil has a higher cooking temp than olive oil, and I like the flavor better. Enjoyed going along on your shopping trip!
The Kirkland butter is a better price!
We bought a freezer bag $9 from Costco and use it all the time. It helps a lot as Costco is a hours drive for us.
In Australia when there is two of you purchasing you can put one person's groceries through leave a space and ask the checkout operator to sub total the first lot ,then they continue with the next persons groceries,that way each person's items are kept together !
As for your coconut water…People think that they need to use the brand names. The one you picked was the store brand. There is nothing with quite a few things that are store brand from Costco.
Awana is great! Glad that your children are going.
Like 85% of avocado oils in the states are supplemented with seed oils. The best is virgin coconut oil, beef tallow, butter and ghee.
Add a slice of stale bread to your brown sugar containers helps to eliminate moisture and not get hard
Really enjoyed watching this! I wish I had a sister that was on the same "page" as me. You're both so fortunate to have each other!
I was shouting at the screen, pack straight into the car because you have to lift those boxes!!! Looks like it was a fun haul.
You can share with each other .
try steel cut oats in the instant pot
BROWN SUGAR HACK *** no matter how hard and dry it is. Stick it in a sealed container with a piece of bread (I use the crust end) and it'll be softer than the day you bought it within a day or two depending on the size. Works like a charm. Get the big brown sugar.
Dubliner makes such good pimento cheese! How nice that you two can shop together and split things!
Can’t wait for Costco to open here! Great haul ladies!
Costco has some amazing deals on great things. Lots during the holidays too!
