We shop Costco 2 or 3 times a month. 1 time for a huge haul and the other 2 times is just for a smaller amount. But we have Costcos 15-20 minutes away. In 3 different locations. But we love Costco for the organic food!!!! Yes !!! The lettuce lasts for 4-5 weeks!!! We get to bags and it lasts that long !!
I used to have the entire set of 8 soup mugs from that collection. Tomato, potato, chicken vegetable, onion, scotch, oxtail and mushroom They were from the mid 70's and we used them for many many years. This brought back a memory I totally forgot about 🙂 AND if I am not mistaken, they also had a Spanish version cuz my mom had a Sopa de Pollo
Omg the cup.. I still have mine that my uncle brought from france in 92 one for me and one for my sis, we still have them. I have the mushrooms, and she has the green letter. Can't remenber the soup. I always thought they were french.😂
You can also keep celery a couple months if you wrap the whole stalk(with root end on) in damp(not dripping wet) paper towel then roll that in foil and close well. I keep in crisper for several months.
I have those mugs up in the top cabinets with some fine china of my grandmas. I have to get a step stool to get up there .....but im pretty sure there is a tomato one. It was my daughters favorite growing up. Great haul.
I’m so so so excited to hear about the food preservation. I only shop once every 2.5-3 weeks. But the last week or so I always notice my romaine lettuce is going bad along with a lot of other things so I’ve been trying to figure out how to make produce last longer
What I do to keep our romaine fresh is to cut it up for salads, fill my freshly scoured sink with cold water and a Tbsp of bleach, soak and mix the romaine for 10 minutes, rinse very well and then spin dry. Once it is dry I pack it into clean mason jars and add a lid and ring. It keeps in the fridge for at least five weeks! I find we eat more salads since all you have to do is shake some out of the jar. There is no bleach taste at all and it doesn't get brown edges. Just fresh, green and crisp lettuce.
FYI - when celery was so expensive a couple years ago I discovered a storage trick that works. I buy a bunch of celery and I leave it connected in the bunch and then wrap it in foil wrap and refrigerate it. This does not work with cut stalks but will keep the celery quite fresh for a few weeks, which is great since there are just two of us now. It may start to go off at the top if I don't use it quickly enough for cooking or adding to tuna salad for example, so I often cut off the top inch or so (with the leaves) before I wrap it.
I have the same exact chicken soup mug. My mom bought it for me-I believe from dollar general-years ago when I was sick and living/working in another state. I'm in my 60's, mom has been gone 5yrs this month and it is still a treasured possession and I use it everytime I'm sick. ♥ There were other versions of the mug as well. A tomato soup, onion soup and an oxtail soup that I remember.
The mug is from the 80s. My mom had the set of 4 and they were my favorite. Apparently on the Walmart webpage they have reproductions. They are called Nostalgic soup bowls if you search for them.
I just found your channel and I’m loving it! I also eat organic because I notice a difference in my chronic pain and fatigue if I don’t. I am horrible at staying on track with cooking dinner though. I start out strong with meal prepping and then after a week or two I just completely fall off the wagon and then I scramble at night to feed my family. I am a stay at home mom to three kids who are all now in public school. We used to homeschool but as I’ve gotten older, they wanted to go to public. So I should have plenty of time to meal prep and get things done, but somehow I have no time and I really want to change that. I’m looking forward to your future meal prep videos!
I reside in Cape Town South Africa and that mug is sold at most of our big grocery stores. It is an old mug my gran had the whole set and it was only ever used for soup. 😊
Hi.. just wanted to say I had the exact same mug/ soup mug 36 years ago as a set of 4... hadn't thought about them till I saw your intro 😂..blast from yhe past. . . And I'm from the UK too. X
I'm glad you are posting. I really enjoy your videos and since I love to can and save money, your videos are educational and inspirational. Looking forward to upcoming videos. D
I definitely understand about being gluten-free and watching the grains I buy due to food intolerance & allergy. It's a struggle when shopping and going out. I have food intolerance & allergies to the most common foods...I'm making things from scratch most of the time, so it's a lot of trial & error with gluten-free & grain free items!
I take a half a jar of the artichoke hearts, chop them up, and toss them in with a plain chicken soup base! All the seasoning except for salt is there and chicken and artichoke soup is sooo good!
I've been buying the same things as you guys at Costco. Love the cassava chips too!! Way better price at Costco. We opt for coconut products over almond. I recommend quinnoa too. So good! Lots of lunch salads w/ the quinnoa. They have it there in a big bag. They have venison chomps at Walmart too. My 13 yr old daughter and I are GF, DF, and more. Very similar!! Nice to see someone on YT who is doing healthy meal prep and pantry storage. I'm trying to freeze things and freeze dry more often. 😊
dang the fruit and cheese prices were amazing! the book section at bulk stores is a hidden treasure for sure ❣ I love the daisy brand sour cream, its one of the only boxstore sour cream/cottage cheese that has no additives!
Love your videos! Was just making a shopping list. Trying to get healthy items this month.. I get a lot of our produce at Aldi’s , and have been finding lots of healthy options. And there prices are excellent for my budget! I usually go through ads and I bought a vacuum sealer and I break meats and other items down for freezing. I have learn so much from you. Thank you! 👍🏼💗👍🏼💗👍🏼
The rice ramen make terrible ramen but it makes amazing chow mein!!!! I use coconut aminos and sesame oil to sauce it and whatever veggie/meat you like
That was so much-needed fun. We go to Costco sometimes once a week and buy the same old stuff. Going with you and the girls was like seeing Costco for the first time. I noticed a few years ago they were bringing in more organic foods and occasionally tried them. I never noticed they were carrying that much before. Next trip my purchases will be somewhat healthier!! Thank you very much! I'm also anxious to see more ways to extend my refrigerated produce. BTW...do you store your potatoes and onions in your cellar?❤
First off, how did you manage to go to Costco when it wasn’t slammed? 😂 I feel like no matter the time, day, or location it is always slammed! The cherries are the BEST. So good and an amazing deal!
I would love to see the homemade Mayo made I'm just afraid it won't last long enough and I so can't stand that avocado Mayo from the store I have tried so hard I'd rather just do without
You said, "I think it's Ama-loo...sausages." My husband leans over and whispers did she just say anal lube?!? So the kids wouldn't hear...I look at the packaging and its Amy Loo..you had to be there but it was hilarious. 😂
I remember those mugs when I was younger, it came in a set. Tomato, mushroom etc.
Hi from New Zealand 👋🏽

I SO hope I can find more of them 😊
I just saw a set of 2 chicken soup ones at my local thrift store
Omg the cup.. I still have mine that my uncle brought from france in 92 one for me and one for my sis, we still have them. I have the mushrooms, and she has the green letter. Can't remenber the soup. I always thought they were french.😂
I appreciate you checking out the prices on some of these items so we know where to get the best bang for our buck.

In the US there is all in plastic... so much trash...

I have so many of these mugs handed down from my Mom, love them ❤
I really appreciate you doing these shopping hauls. I also live about an hour away from Costco and have been contemplating getting a membership.

I have that mug and two others, a potato soup and tomato soup one!
Your presentation is excellent. I hope your video will play a big role in reducing food waste. Thank you very much

Great video. Looking forward to hearing about the good storage tips for produce.

Yes please show how to store all produce

We absolutely love the frozen cherries! I like to serve them partially thawed to my girls as a sweet treat
Those cherries (along with several of the things you bought) are a staple in my house. 100%. They are wonderful!
🇦🇺I had these mugs in the 1980ies . There was another one for French onion soup. There could have been more.
My mom had a set of mugs just like that one (different soup recipes on each one) when we growing up. I'm 37 so they are definitely older.
The organic mangoes are SO good and no added sugar.
I'm glad you are posting. I really enjoy your videos and since I love to can and save money, your videos are educational and inspirational. Looking forward to upcoming videos. D
Great video.. very interested in how to make products last longer. Love seeing those little hands going for cucumbers.
We don’t have a Costco here but I enjoy your videos. ❤ We do have a Sam’s and they carry some similar items.
I remember that mug. My mum has a set of four. I think they have a different inscription on each mug. Hello from Nigeria ❤
Yay! I’m always excited to see a new video from you! I’ve been getting more into preserving lately, though nowhere near your level 😂
So excited to see the video on how to keep food !!
I am new to shopping at Costco and new to a gluten free diet. Would you be able to show some gluten free feeds you like to cook?
I definitely understand about being gluten-free and watching the grains I buy due to food intolerance & allergy. It's a struggle when shopping and going out. I have food intolerance & allergies to the most common foods...I'm making things from scratch most of the time, so it's a lot of trial & error with gluten-free & grain free items!
I take a half a jar of the artichoke hearts, chop them up, and toss them in with a plain chicken soup base! All the seasoning except for salt is there and chicken and artichoke soup is sooo good!
WHat?? Okay I have to try this! It sounds so good!
I've been buying the same things as you guys at Costco. Love the cassava chips too!! Way better price at Costco. We opt for coconut products over almond. I recommend quinnoa too. So good!

Your mug is definitely vintage, it was part of a set. There was a mushroom, onion and one other soup, can't remember. Took me back!
Oh wow!! This is so cool to know! I’ll have to keep my eye out for the others ☺️
I grew up with those soup bowls in Scotland. 😊 X
I would love to see cooking vlogs with recipes. I enjoyed the grocery shopping vlog.
Thank you.❤
Looking forward to more content 😊
also if you have an Ollie's they have the best book deals
dang the fruit and cheese prices were amazing! the book section at bulk stores is a hidden treasure for sure ❣ I love the daisy brand sour cream, its one of the only boxstore sour cream/cottage cheese that has no additives!
My grandma had a couple of those mugs. They are somewhere around the house
Love this video yes please show more of the products you buy
I have autoimmune disease an am trying to go gluten free
We buy the Siete chips and their other products. Love the brand
The chicken soup mug is a very British thing, lots found on eBay/Etsy in uk
I have a Sam's membership. I try to go once every month or two but it's about one and a half hour away.
I was just going to comment abt your mug. Its from the early 70s, we had them growing up. Awesome find! It brings back cozy, family memories. ×sigh×
Hi Adaline. Great cosco haul. I love sams and cosco. I shop at both.
Love your videos! Was just making a shopping list. Trying to get healthy items this month.. I get a lot of our produce at Aldi’s , and have been finding lots of healthy options. And there prices are excellent for my budget! I usually go through ads and I bought a vacuum sealer and I break meats and other items down for freezing. I have learn so much from you. Thank you! 👍🏼💗👍🏼💗👍🏼
I'm so glad! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Love the video
I loved your channel you inspired me
Love your videos!❤
I live 5 mins from the Hbg Costco. I’d go broke without weekly trips for their formula, diapers, wipes, TP, PT!
How will your shopping change when stores switch over to Apeel coatings on produce?
The japanese mayo is 5.99 in your store. It's 8.99€ here in spain. And the vanilla beans here 2 pods cost 10€. And you had 10 pods in that packet.
The rice ramen make terrible ramen but it makes amazing chow mein!!!! I use coconut aminos and sesame oil to sauce it and whatever veggie/meat you like

Potatoes yes. Onions I store in my kitchen ☺️
Im from argentina, my mom have the same soup bol... Exact the same...
First off, how did you manage to go to Costco when it wasn’t slammed? 😂 I feel like no matter the time, day, or location it is always slammed!
The cherries are the BEST. So good and an amazing deal!
Go an hour or so before they close! Much slower time to go ☺️
I was buying a lot of organic things but realize they are all sprayed but one not as much
The organic ones have a much better flavour.
I do notice celery goes bad quickly if not in water.
I wish there was a Costco closer to me. They have some better brands than Sam’s
I wrapped my entire celery in foil and it last for 1 month for sure, ever tried that?
I would love to see the homemade Mayo made I'm just afraid it won't last long enough and I so can't stand that avocado Mayo from the store I have tried so hard I'd rather just do without
💜💜💜💜💜
My mum had that chicken soup cup. Do not put it in he dishwasher!!
❤
You said, "I think it's Ama-loo...sausages." My husband leans over and whispers did she just say anal lube?!? So the kids wouldn't hear...I look at the packaging and its Amy Loo..you had to be there but it was hilarious. 😂

The plastic olive oil is trash 🤮 put it in glass for sure.
