Lewis, I'm so impressed by the empathy you feel for others. It's beautiful to see you moved by his circumstance and makes you a great human being. Bravo!
🤘
We in the US often take so much for granted. We are extremely fortunate.
With respect, I have to disagree. Not all Americans, by far. I do agree that we are blessed beyond measure.
🙏❤🇺🇸
You’ve already hit the lottery if you were born in this country. People come here with almost nothing and become successful. If you fail in America, you’d fail anywhere.
@@Christine-777 You are lucky to be able to find what you want in a store. Lucky to not only be able, but be required to go to school. That's all the US. Are we perfect? No, but even our prisoners are able to eat, have possessions, and see visitors. You live in the Club Med of the World, and have endless opportunities - if you take them.
Not really. Our country is ruthless really. It's not like a lot of countries in Europe that takes care of their citizens. My family has been here since the founding of my state and founded part of it. You would think the government would show appreciation to the public and give people at least free healthcare since we literally own the entire world monetarily and could just print the money every year. We are insanely corrupt.
@@gdhaney136 I agree! 💯🤗
Buying meat in bulk is cheaper and it's easy to break down into smaller packages and freeze.
that's another reason we need large freezers/refrigerators. Growing up my family would shop for the month.
I will add to this that when we BBQ we cook larger portions of meat because BBQing properly takes many hours, seasoning and wood/pellets to cook. Plus the BBQ is so delicious and mouth watering that you will eat it faster than you would normally expect to do. The leftover meat is just as good and delicious as the meat is off of the BBQ smoker.
That’s what I used to do when I was married in the “90’s. I would wrap first with plastic wrap then foil. It prevents frost burn.
I met a couple on the train from Boston to Chicago who had emigrated from Russia to the US. They had chosen the apartment they lived in because it was close to Costco. Their favorite entertainment was walking to Costco, strolling around the warehouse, and having a hotdog and a Coke.
The USSR dissolved 2 years after Boris Yeltzin visited an American supermarket, just sayin 🤷🏻♂️
It doesn’t take much when you have absolutely nothing and no way to get what you need.
Cuba was once a rich country! Sugarcane plantations. Bacardi Rum . Castro brought this fate upon his people turning Cuba communist.
yep, Communist dictators turned Cuba into a Shit hole, sadly for those that have to live thru it...
Yoel and Mari have a video on that.
Don't forget cigars. The families fled to Bolivia and Nicaragua and now those countries produce the best.
For a second, I thought you said Costco brought the fate lol
Cuban Missile Crisis
Everyone who bashes capitalism would do well to see and remember this video. Its not a perfect system. Nothing is perfect. But there is no denying it is by far the best system the world has to offer at this time. What an eye opening video.
It's so scary that on most college campuses the average student has likely been indoctrinated to believe that Cuba is better than the United States.
Many choices - not necessarily better. More and more workers cannot afford housing, food, or transportation in the US. But economically privileged Americans can belong to Costco, and get super sized food quantities. Choices for the well off, leaving increasing numbers of people out in the street.
Our poorest are still weathier than the majority of the world. We have food kitchens, shelters, welware, medicaid, full college scholarships, section 8 housing, wic, etc. When youre poor in most countries youre on the street with no other choice. Travel. Ive seen first hand how blessed Americans are, even our poorest. @@KARW37
@@KARW37 That isn't a problem with capitalism. That's a problem of broken promises from corrupt politicians.
Tell that to the millions of homeless people on the streets. America has good marketing. People forget how big the population of America is compared to other country countries so they minimize the amount of people here that are suffering.
What I like about this guy is he sees the videos through the eyes of the people in the video, and questions what he's seeing. It's refreshingly honest.
You have to watch the one where she takes him to a car dealership cause he's never seen a new car. First time he ever smelled the "new car" smell.
“Americans don’t know what else to invent”…facts! 😂
Facts for real.
It’s funny because it’s almost true ?
Give us time. We’ll think of something!
Before Castro's revolution Cuba was the richest country in Latin America.
venazula use to be wealthier then USA too
@@yia01 not quite. Before Maduro took over and had his revolution, Venezuela was the richest country in Latin America.
A neighbor of mine had her mother come to visit from Romania (many years ago). The mother had never been to America.
The first time she walked into a grocery store, she fainted. She’d never seen so much food in one place.
The video where he finally gets his own computer is awesome too. He was a teacher in Cuba and the computer he used to teach his students belonged to the government. He was not allowed to own one.
My wife (born and raised in Việt Nam) and I brought her mom from Việt Nam to visit for 3 months. When we took her to Costco, she walked in the door, looked around and started shedding tears. She said Americans are so blessed with all they have.
Many died for this freedom
A blessing yes however If any global conflicts breaks out the us will always be involved because it's to big not to be.
Hell the us has spent 92.89 percent of its time as a country in active combat now granted they haven't been in "war" since ww2 as it was the last time they declared war. In my personal opinion they show just overthrown the Afghanistan government as they were housing terrorists. And they would fall to corruption later anyway.
My daughter currently lives in Viet Nam and can buy anything she needs. Viet Nam has changed a lot thanks to a flood of foreign business and money.
@@dmpvipyeah Vietnam is doing fantastic from what I've seen. Absolutely blows my mind to hear older Vietnamese people talk about how it's changed. Sounds like a different world entirely to how they live now
It isn't so much, "what's available", it's more like, "this is what I, your dictator, will ALLOW you to have. 🤬
I’m an American and I never realized how blessed we are. When he said he hasn’t had an apple in years I broke down and cried. We have apple trees in our yards and don’t realize they would be a luxury in another country. Many of us have never left our own state so even other states in the US are quite different. Thank you for the education you provide me from your channel. God Bless You 🇺🇸🇬🇧
I love watching Yoel experience the US for the first time. It reminds me to appreciate what I have, and that I was fortunate to be born here. So many people in the US are clueless about their privilege. The ability to work and make money, go to school, buy food. Yoel and Mari keep me grateful.
Costco is big , but it is not the only one. We also have Sam's Club. It is owned by Walmart.
First American grocery store Mari took him to was Aldi because she didn't want to overwhelm him..he was so overwhelmed, it was heartbreaking. You can tell he was very appreciative to be in the U.S.
Even in poverty, in this country, we have all those choices laid out before us-- many folks may not have carts overflowing, but they have what they set out to get. We forget how astonishing that is.
Joel got a job at UPS, delivery driver, I think. There's a video of when he gets his first payroll check. He was happy to pay the taxes.
That won’t last long. lol give him more time and he will hate taxes like the rest of us. Hahahah UPS drivers can make some good money…good for him! ❤
This is the first of Joel and Mari's videos I ever saw. When he was overwhelmed by the medicine aisle and all the things that were available over the counter that could alleviate suffering, and cried it made me cry. I lost my mom and she had the best of care, but she suffered and it gutted me. Knowing Yoel's mom had been very ill and there was nothing to help her even the slightest bit just killed me.
They are so lovely, this couple. I'm so happy they are being seen and heard.
I just love Yoel. He’s such a humble, lovely person. Absolutely heartbreaking. We are so lucky here.
This is so emotional.
I'm almost in tears.
Bless him .
I can't even imagine.
I'm a very spoiled American.
Bacon is different because we don’t use the back like Europe. We use the Belly of the pig which has more fat. We cold smoke that pork belly then slice and package. The back of the pig actually is used as Fatback. It’s a preserved pork product that has roots in pioneer days. It’s just the entire back of the pig cured in salt water or pure out salt. If people got hungry but there wasn’t any game they cut off a piece and fry it up. It sustained a lot of people crossing the Midwest and the grasslands of America. Modern fatback is used for its fat content as it melts down to create lard. Its still made the same way though.
Yes, British bacon is like what we call Canadian bacon in the States.
Not all bacon is smoke cured. Some is cured with a combination of believe it or not salt and some sugar. Which is called sugar cured. Then some is brine cured.
Im not from Cuba but I come from a circumstance of having felt what hunger for days feels like and not having shoes most of the time. It does bother me that people who live in abundance have no clue how fortunate they are and take things for granted. Sometimes I even have remind myself. I share stories but I think most people can’t relate so it goes in one ear and put the other.
To a certain level I can identify with you.
The fridge has a camera inside so you can use the screen to look inside without opening the door. It will also let you link from your phone so you can check the fridge while shopping so you don’t forget anything
I remember the picture of some people who fled Africa and ended up in America. They went to a regular grocery store. When they entered they were immediately in the produce section and they stood dumbfounded seeing all the different fruits and vegetables. They did not know so many varieties even existed. This was just a regular grocery store and they were totally shocked.Imagine what the feeling is like to have at your fingertips everything you ever wanted in one store. It must be totally overwhelming. "like a hurricane in his head" what an apt expression.
My heart goes out for all who go without, i know im not the most well off but seeing i have more and have access to more breaks me, i know im lucky and im very thankful for that but i just wish i could help more people.
Exactly. If My Costco was 1/4 the size, and people in other parts of the world could have things they need, I'd be fine. The U.S. Embargo against Cuba stands even today. We can't forget that while we're enjoying this abundance, we're also contributing to their scarcity.
It's important to have an attitude of gratitude. Be grateful for the things you have, and grateful for those things you don't have.
me too
That’s why I get really upset when people say America is oppressed. We are blessed to be living in such peace. Where you protect yourself and your land and the people have more opportunity and authority than the government
@@Mels925college doesn’t mean anything. Most of the degrees are worthless (exception: STEM). Plenty of trades need workers. I have no college degree and work in the insurance industry. I’ve put up with lots of jobs in this industry I wasn’t fond of but worked my way up. Sometimes you just need to put up with crap to get ahead. If life was easy, everyone would be a millionaire. With that said, lots of fields offer starter positions. Someone these may suck and likely may not be the best pay. It all depends….but, you must look at the long term outlook. I’ve taken severe pay cuts to move to other companies in other parts of the country…but it all has worked out in the end. People have setbacks…even Elon Musk. lol
We buy large packages of meat like that because one, it's always cheaper to buy in bulk and 2. we take it home and separate it into smaller packages and freeze it. Then you just pull out what you need for that meal and thaw it. The rest stays in the freezer. We buy half cows and whole cows that way too.
My parents had 11 kids (Catholic, not LDS) and Price Club, as it used to be, was a game changer for them. Now we're all married and we all.have big families, so if two of us get our kids and grandkids together, we are talking about 15 to 25 people just for a barbecue or brunch after Mass. Plus we all have garage fridge freezers so we can get things on sale and keep them.
Costco has been a total blessing for big events too. Their alcohol section allows us to provide a full bar at a MUCH reduced cost for weddings and anniversaries. And tons of us have gotten a lovely custom little wedding cake for the table and then had massive Costco sheet cakes in the kitchen with the caterer for serving. It can save hundreds to thousands of dollars, depending on how big or fancy the event is. Flowers too.
Plus the gas stations, the travel services, the home care and auto repair, the optometrists and eyewear. My brother just retired as an optometrist from the Costco in Phoenix, and my niece just took over. 🙂
Every Communist country needs to see this. They don't know how much their people are suffering every day.
Oh their leaders know... They're the ones that want it that way.
THEY DONT CARE..THEY KNOW. THEY KEEP ANY AND ALL MONEY FOR THEMSELVES.
It's on purpose! There's people who want that to happen to America. Let that sink in.
@@adahkopacko7304 No offense to anyone but women, particularly young "educated" women, are a demographic that is widely pushing for Socialism in the US...
socialism is perfect on paper but in practice its a joke cause human is not perfect. women are too emotional and idealist so they keep dreamming of that perfect communism in practice.
Some people here in the U.S are so ungrateful, they have no idea how it is to live outside of the U.S. Trust me, it gets worst!!! I've been living here in America now for 20 years and I never want to live anywhere else. I came from a third world country at age of 12, and I've seen how bad things can get. You don't have to leave this country to see that you are fortunate to be living in the United States, all you have to do is go online , watch videos, read and educate yourself. I understand this country is not perfect. No country in the world is. But I know that our circumstance here in the US is so much better than most countries in the world and we should be way more appreciative than we currently are.
We have a bunch of spoiled brats who do nothing but complain about how oppressed they are but I see they don't leave.
And there are people in America that actually think communism is a good thing . Heaven help us
Let alone dictatorship, which is what the world's version of communism has been.
@@sassycatz4470 right, I guess they no longer teach history in school nowadays
Communism looks good on paper. Everyone has what they need to live comfortably. Everyone is taken care of. But in practice? Human Nature makes it a failure every single time. The greedy gain power and hoard resources for themselves, and the masses suffer.
@@makingd.o.123#Facts Teach your kids history at home.
Liberty Kids cartoons for the little ones and Rush Revere books too. My kids learned so much, loved it and they are hardcore anti communists now
Only the rich think like this …… tells you everything you need to know about money . Those that have it want to keep it and think those that don’t shouldn’t have a say .
You were spot on with your reaction. It was very sad to see how overwhelmed Costco made him. We live with so much choice and to see the continued struggles in Communist societies is heartbreaking
The bulk sold in Costco is typically sold the way it is for three reasons; for small businesses, Family's, or if you are wanting to stock up and have a surplus of somethings. I know typically as far as food goes some people will use whatever they need and then freeze the rest to use at a later date.
It’s heartbreaking to hear that they experienced such lack of basics. We take it for granted. This is humbling. Thanks for reacting to it.
I know not everyone around the world has the opportunities that Americans have. And I know many people who have fight to get here, so that their children and grandchildren won’t have to suffer in a country that is like Cuba or to get out of the war zone in their country. So many people around the world see the United States as beacon of hope for a better future and that’s beautiful to me because it shows that we are doing good things for the world. But we do have limitations and that’s why we have asked our allies to help in Europe with stuff too. One tree many leaves meaning that even a superpower (tree)country needs its allies( the leaves) too.
What do you do with the meat?
Well, as you said, there are parties. There are also large families.
But usually, what people do is take the meet home, open the package, and then repackage it into smaller serving sizes and put those into the freezer. Then you just pull out a serving that fits the size of your family as you need it over time.
A lot of Americans like to meal prep, where they'll do a lot of cooking on one weekend day, and then refrigerate or freeze the food so that they can take it out later in the week and reheat it as needed so that they don't have to cook when they come home from work.
With those big packages of meat, we separate the meat into individual portions in vacuum sealed bags for the freezer. The vacuum sealed bags reduce the chance of freezer burn. My parents have a freezer in the garage that is the size of an American refrigerator where they store Costco vacuum sealed meat.
In America we love Cuban immigrants. They assemble into America and love her. They also love Cuba and want her free. Cubans bring so much good food and dancing and music to America that we enjoy so much. If you can find videos of Cubans explaining their love for America to react to you will have well spent your time.

bread is by the cakes. all the 'bakery' stuff is together. cakes, rolls, bread, pastries, ect... and the bread comes in 2 pack of loaves... but they are usually on a stand up rack...
Their muffins are 2 6pk for $10. And if anyone at this point has NOT had the blueberry-lemon loaf, just get it. It’s $9 but it’s delicious.
Alot of people don't know but Cuba, before Castro/Communism happened. There was cruises from Florida to Cuba before major restrictions...it was the place to go to gamble and see shows (like an island Las Vegas).
I love Costco, and most of us buy the large packs and then separate the portions out and freeze them individually for future use. I guess it's why we have large freezers etc. lol. Some single people actually split the large packs with their friends/family and we save money that way. It works for some of us.
Hard to imagine that south Florida and Cuba are so close geographically but so different when it comes to what is available to buy.
That’s the difference between capitalism and communism
Everyday I feel so freaking lucky to be born in America (or any other developed, democratic country for that matter). We have gotten so spoiled, people don’t realize how good they have it. We complain about stupid things while other people in the world can’t get basics like milk or eggs. Just pure luck the stork dropped me in the USA! 🇺🇸 So blessed.
When my parents would buy a lot of meat for at the store. They would separated into one pound portions and then put it in the huge freezer downstairs and sometimes at farmers markets we’d get cheap vegetables and fruits in boxes and go home and have a whole 4 days of canning to do. I loved it when I’ve go to grandma’s house when she was canning stuff because she would let us taste test her apple pie filling before she canned it and bring a bunch of it home. Her apple juice and grape juice were delicious too. But grandma can’t do canning anymore because of her body not being like it was back.
I've seen this before and it's an emotional rollercoaster and reminds me to be so very grateful for what i have access to. There are many many people who live in cery different conditions.
Many of us have a Foodsaver, which is a small appliance that vacuums air out of a plastic bag of meat or other food, cooked or raw. Then you can keep it in the freezer for a long time without getting freezer burn.
4:16
that is a wifi enabled fridge that can sync your shopping list with your phone or tablet or any other family members' phone and you can look up recipes to cook. you can also watch food tv shows to get ideas for dinners....
What do you mean bread wouldn’t be with the cakes? It’s in the bakery😂
Some places don't set up like that.
@@AC-ni4gt every store I’ve been to has, yes there is a bread Isle but there is also bread In the bakery next to the cakes, cookies and doughnuts
Most ( not all ) people have a Deep Freezer in the house and stock up on meat. Costco is also for people buying food in bulk for school cafeterias , homeless shelters , party's, and stocking and restocking Restaurants.
the problem with countries that are 'socialist' or 'communist' is that ALL products FIRST go to the highest people in government, THEN go to the next level in government. and on down the line. so by the time ordinary citizens get a chance, it's all gone or nearly all gone... thus there are food scarcity for the general population... add to that, non-'socialist' or non-'communist' countries ban trading with those countries and their supply is even more scarce. thus, you end up with stores with nothing on the shelves or one or two products that the 'elites' didn't want... and anything that is grown or any animal raised is automatically owned by the government, even if you grew it yourself in your yard (which by the way, you don't own, as there's no 'private property' all property is owned by the government...)... so you can't even grow food for yourself or your family... and they will take it when it's ready to harvest (so you put your blood, sweat and tears, doing all the work, but they just come in and take it) and they will do it at gun point if you don't give it up to them.... most of these countries don't even have electricity 24 hrs a day.... (except for the 'elites'... they always have the best and the most). so many times you'll be in the dark for most of the day as they rotate the electricity around to other towns or sections of the city... or even if it's broken and not working at all because they can't get the parts to fix it or don't have the training to fix it...
Heard too that good things are saved for tourists.
7:44
most of the meat, you just separate and freeze but leave some out to cook... or if it's ribs, you can just grill the whole thing.... for ground beef, I get the 10 lbs 'chub' (tube) and split it into 1 lbs packs and freeze them but leave 1 or 2 out to cook for the dinner and maybe the next nights dinner... I usually get 3 'chubs' and freeze nearly all of it this way and have ground beef for the month...
I also hunt deer and boar, so I have 2 large deep freezers, 3 large stand up freezers, 3 fridges (one main for the house and 2 in the garage... I get about 2 deer and 4 boar a year and make sausage out of it all... with a couple of rump roasts for the slow cooker.... so I have plenty of room for a large meat run from costco or sam's....
That was so good! Thanks for the video. In the early 2000’s I lived in Bellevue Washington and there were a lot of Russian immigrants. More than once when I went to do my shopping at the Fred Meyer store there would be a group of immigrants actually taking photos of the produce section. God bless America. I’m sure it was similar for my ancestors 100 years ago who came to America because of poverty, but it is humbling. The world could be abundant for everyone if the leaders of countries would just let it happen. ❤️
If I understand it correctly, TVs inside of refrigerator doors are a product designed for the US market but actually made by LG Electronics, headquartered in South Korea.
They know some Americans will literally buy anything cool lol I wouldn’t buy one, but they know there’s a market.
I pretty much cried through this whole video. He is just so sweet and overwhelmed by it all. 😢
10:01
speaking of choice and apples... there are usually around 8 or 10 types of apples in the store. the same with most of the foods... I think they usually have around 5 types of grapes.. I like the 'champagne' or even the 'cotton candy' grapes...
You should see his reaction from when he first came to America and entered a grocery store. He was so upset that he couldn't share the bounty with his family back in Cuba that he had to walk out. I love Yoel and Mari, they are beautiful people and they share their journey.
When I was dating a Cuban man --his friend had just arrived from Cuba (and the friend didn't speak English ==anyways) the guy that just came from Cuba saw a garage door opener working and he was amazed...he never saw one before and what's even worse he had no idea there were things such as paper napkins and paper towels.....interesting..
I discovered your channel about 2 weeks ago, and I’ve subscribed. Your reactions make me laugh, feel blessed to live in America ( for the most part), and I learn about the UK.
they have an earlier video where she travels to cuba to see him and she smuggles several bags of chips "crisps" into the country. they talk about how there have been no potatoes for years and if people knew she had them should would have gotten robbed. It is similar reactions when North Koreans see the states for the first time.
I have a screen like that in my fridge and we use it ALOT. It has a calendar so my family can keep up with appointments. It also has Wi-Fi so my children can watch RUclips while I'm cooking. I mostly use it to pull up recipes and listen to music while I'm cooking/baking
the TV in the fridge so you don't miss the touchdown when you go to grab a beer
That's a smart fridge. You can create a shopping list on the screen that will transfer to your phone to look at the while you're shopping. You can even look at the interior of the fridge on the phone to see if you forgot to put anything on the list.
This really makes you appreciate what you have. So many have so little. We are so blessed here in the states.
I have been watching Joel and Mary from the beginning. He was able to learn English and get a job as a UPS driver. They have some really amazing videos. Some of my favorites are his first Christmas here, the first time he had lobster which is illegal in Cuba, and when they went to the Mexican border to see what was happening with the immigrants. I love their channel. I was so happy to see you reacting to them.
Costco is mostly BULK buying. You don't buy one box of pasta, it comes in a 6 pack. You don't buy one filet mignon. You buy the entire filet and cut them. Freeze them. Costco is cheaper on some things if you are willing to buy in bulk.
I MUST SAY THAT...WHEN YOEL USED THE WORD TERRIFYING to express Costco...
I couldn't wrap my head around that Word He Used ....
BECAUSE GROWING UP IN AMERICA 🇺🇸
This is All We Know
...STOCKED SHELVES OF EVERYTHING & NO SHORTAGE OF ANYTHING... So We Can Not Feel What He Is Feeling
But to Know Yoel and The Cuban People have had to Endure Such Hardships for Decades is so HEARTBREAKING😢
That screen is helpful. You can take a picture of what is inside, and make it display outside. That way, your kids are not opening and closing the fridge to see what's in there. lol. Really. We've got smart screens everywhere. You can use it to bring up a recipe, while you are cooking. Probably works with Alexa, etc. so, you can use voice control to tell it to add things to your shopping list or buy things as you are right there in the kitchen. It probably makes suggestions to reorder your commonly ordered items. You can watch movies and make video calls while cooking/doing chores in the kitchen. I don't have that refrigerator. I've got a smart home though, and everything is connected, including the dishwasher. Voice activated. I can control things, including lights from wherever I am. The cleaning robot (aka Rosie). It's sweet.
My oven keeps sending me texts to clean it (They must be based on time--I hardly ever use it and it isn't dirty).
We have a 27 cu ft french door refrigerator and for Costco runs, a 22 cu ft upright freezer!
In America we get large packs of meat break them up into smaller serving sizes and freeze them in deep freezers.
We can have a Year's worth of meat put back.
In our basement in a deep freezer.
Yoel and Mari shine a light on the evils of socialism.
Don't confuse communism (Cuba) with socialism (public ed, fire dept, police, Social Security, Medicare, etc.) . Two different things.
@@joysgirl No its not different. One is just the beginning. The other the end. They speak on socialism on their channel, too. As anyone who has escaped a communist cpuntry, they are not fond of socialism. Nor should they be.
@@joysgirlthe things you’re listing can and for the most part do exist in capitalist systems, that’s just social democracy which prioritizes those types of social systems. That’s why many countries with socialized healthcare are still capitalist countries
@@joysgirl
"socialism (public ed, fire dept, police, Social Security, Medicare, etc.) . T"
You guys need to stop calling it that.
That's not socialism. That's public services. Fire Dept and Police exist in both left wing moderate and right wing moderate.
Socialism means the government owns and controls the means of production. So if you're a painter you don't own your paintings. That's not the same thing as having a Fire Dept, ok. Don't be ridiculous.
@@Kneekco
". That’s why many countries with socialized healthcare are still capitalist countries"
Indeed, and that's not even the right term for it. It's "single payer", not "socialized".
It's not as if you're not allowed to have a private medical practice in the UK or France. You can. It's not illegal. NHS is a "public option".
Show the clueless Berkeley liberal kids with Karl Marx and Che Guevara t-shirts this video.
i have 5 kids in the u.s. we buy at costco to seperate portions and make a lot of meals over a longer period. and the hot dog meal is a " loss leader" they lose money on it but it gets you in the door so they keep doing it.
I watched the Aldi video with this gentleman and I cried. This is crazy and truly heartbreaking at the same time.
I went to Costco yesterday. NEVER go without a list... and stick to the list! The only meat I bought was a rotisserie chicken ($4.99) and a twin pack of eye of round roast (for making beef jerky or for deli roast beef). Just as I do with family packs of meat from the regular grocery stores, the roasts got vacuum sealed individually and put into the freezer.
I bought paper products (paper towels and toilet paper), some cleaning stuff, a few other food items (nuts, Ranch dressing, etc...), and some toiletry type items and vitamins. Even buying most of the stuff that was on sale I still managed to spend $300!
It's horrible that not all countries have availability of products like this. You can clearly see into this mans heart how badly he feels for his country.
I was like why haven’t you seen the fridges with the touchscreens until I remembered that y’all kitchens aren’t usually big enough to even hold those kind of refrigerator
English bacon is from the back the pig and American bacon is from the belly of the pig. British people call our bacon - streaky bacon
We have an extra freezer in our garage and we bag up the extra into 1lb portions and freeze them. Then we can just grab out what we need for dinner.
It's sad many young Americans don't appreciate all the choices retail stores have. Thanks for the reminder .
Unless you have a lot of family coming over, you need to invest in a vacuum packer for food $100 - $200. Just break open the large pack of ??? and vacuum seal them individually and store them in the freezer. My nephew has one of those fridges with the screen on it (Samsung?). You can sync it with your phone and some food apps to help you keep track of grocery items, not exactly sure what else it does.
Just because we can buy food in large containers does not mean we are expected or going to eat it all at once. Some of it is frozen as is and saved for another day. Some of it is prepared then frozen so it can be warmed up and eaten at a moment's notice.
God bless America and God free the people living under communism!
You guys are so right! I saw Sour Patch Oreo cookies at the grocery store today. 😂
The reason for the huge variety is brands want more shelf space. The more space they occupy the better the chance is someone will buy their products. It's all the same thing with a small variation - if you don't want plain potato chips you can get wavy chips or flavored chips. The more options and space they have the more likely you are to buy.
This hit me in the heart, as an American Army Veteran being on other countries I definitely understand and tell that to a lot of people that complain about things, you never really understand how other countries live or how their government restricts or whatever the case, I’ll always know that this is to me the best country to live in compared to some others, I always think about others and realize that some people have it worst off than I do…. So I’m always grateful….. but these types of injustices need to stop, time for government to work for the people and only the people ❤
Glad to see your doing more Yoel and Mari reactions, you won't be disappointed they check out alot of restaurants, check out more. Peace✌️ and Love❤ Gary😊
Since people gather in the kitchen they put a tablet in the fridge. It's got a family calendar, plays music, orders groceries, plays video from the tv in the other room, it's got a recipe book,
The Refer with the TV in it. That is a smart fridge. When you run out of items, you can put on a shopping list right there. When not using it, it will display pictures you have taken from your phone and add to the TV and it will slideshow them. I think there is also an area for like a "to do" list you can make as well for chores that need done. I would never own one as it's just something else to go wrong with a fridge. lol.
L3WG. You need to see the one, where he goes to an American car lot. I saw it at Thanksgiving time last year. Hardly a dry eye in our house.
Our bacon is what you call streaky bacon. It comes from the belly and is almost always Hickory smoked. Yours is pork loin, which comes from the back. We call it Canadian bacon. We use pork loin for roasts.
Something to note, many Americans never shop at Costco. Costco targets areas where there are more higher income earners as much as they can. That said you can easily pay for the standard membership just by filling up at Costco gas station. Costco generally sells gas(petrol) for less per gallon (one area we lived it it ranged 15-35 cents a gallon less and yes you almost always had to wait in line)
Glad you learned how to turn on the captions.
😢😢😢
This was so sad!
The other day my daughter wanted french toast for breakfast.
I was out of eggs.
I didn't even think about it! I just got in my car, went to the store, bought some eggs and came home.
Even worse, i only bought half a dozen cuz i was going to my mom's later that day. Mom has 8 chickens so she has more eggs than she knows what to do with 😮
You hear about countries like cuba, where the people have next to nothing and you don't think much about it cuz you can't understand it.
From the time we're born Americans seldom hafta wonder and worry where or when they're gonna eat again.
It's heartbreaking what some "leaders" will put their country & citizens through.
It's heartbreaking and criminal 💔😤💔
Even as a single person, you can take advantage of Costco’s bulk pricing. Toilet paper, paper towels, tissue, cleaning products, batteries, sheet and towel sets, shoes, clothes, books, OTC medicine, wine, and even the packages of meat if you have enough freezer space to break it down into single serving portions. Costco gas prices are always amazing!
We have large screens on the refrigerators here. You can watch tv on them and they can connect to the internet. You can look up recipes, watch cooking shows or surf online.
Keep watching these brother I just started so I think it would be cool to watch them together. Keep up the great work brother. God bless you and yours.
The fridge is a Samsung family hub, you can order groceries, watch tv, play music, Alexa, get on net, lightly tap the screen and it becomes invisible so you can see what’s inside or you can get on net and see what’s inside, you can program different zones to be different temperatures, you can buy for $1,500
4:16 it’s a smart fridge. They’re convenient because you can keep track of what’s inside, and make your shopping list that way. They’re super expensive though, so most Americans don’t have them. I’d love one, but good lord, they’re definitely not in my budget anytime soon.
7:52 we break it down and freeze what we don’t need at the time. That way we aren’t going shopping as often
