25:45 Heinz IS NOT a UK product. The Heinz Company is an American food processing company founded by Henry J. Heinz in 1869.
Another fact checking!! Thank you.
Yes it’s American
I also had someone from the UK tell me Heinz is a UK product. IT IS NOT.
Actually, Kraft Foods & H.J. Heinz merged in 2015 to become Kraft Heinz.
Peanut butter is the best thing to use on mouse traps
I love that Heinz baked beans are so popular that they think Heinz is a UK brand lol
Thing is we were raised on cambles baked beans. Heinz is the most popular in the UK. Heinz beans are way better at least they used to be. I didn’t even know Heinz made beans until I met so many Brit’s when I worked on cruise ships
Always remember to associate Heinz with John Kerry and his face, since his wife is heir to the Heinz fortune.
If they bought the bushes baked beans they would never go back to the beans they normally eat
They are vegan or vegetarian so they can't eat the standard Bushes baked beans. Bushes does vegetarian versions but I didn't see it in this video.
Mmm, roll that beutiful bean footage
@@nunyalastname-ej8vl😂
They bought vegetarian Bushes beans at Wal-Mart or Dollar Tree.
Pea Snaps are similar texture to cheese puffs…but made from peas…the best flavors I’ve had are tomato basil and another would be chipotle lime. I’m not into snacks really and not into healthy options but it”s a nice snack that you don’t feel guilty eating lol
I love how she says Heinz Ketchup is a UK product, Heinz is from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.
In these videos, there's always at least one thing they think is a UK product that isn't lol
I heard a British RUclipsr say that Hallmark was their company because the card had a crown on the back ! 😂
They still haven’t realized that Cadbury merged with M&M Mars decades ago. That’s why their Celebrations packages of candies are so popular in the US, we know the UK and the US names for the candies. 💀😂
@@Bad_Meach 🤣🤣🤣
@@cherylflam3250 that’s too funny🤣
The trick about going to Costco or Sam’s Club is to start at the hot dog/pizza area in front and eat a hotdog or pizza slice and drink. You never want to shop when you’re hungry!
Or high. Never, ever, ever when high. 😂
They wouldn't eat it
Right, I'll pig out! Lol,I've always gone to the deli for a sample! 😬I'm to cheap for a 😋 my Walmart is so busy they close @ 12:00 midnight it starts to slow down about 10:00 p.m. surely Sam's is the same 🤷 I won't go to either unless it's a must! 😳🤯
"Am I this unhealthy?"
Bro, you've said you eat at McDonalds 5 times a week....YES, you're that unhealthy.
But also this family is insanely healthy, and vegetarian. He should probably find re-evaluate his McDonalds though.
Look up oxalate toxicity and you'll know vegetarians aren't healthy! Carnivore is the healthiest diet. The Proper Human Diet! 😉
@@ThatCronus They really aren't that healthy. Look at the carbs they buy. This video with the rice and pasta. Walmart it was way too many potatoes. They have convinced themselves they are eating healthy. And, they did buy some great vegetables and other items. But, they could learn a lot from a nutritionist.
@@lorrainetrotter4737Potatoes are not unhealthy. Carbs are not bad for you.
@@briantbmoth6472 Too many simple carbs are NOT healthy. I said the AMOUNT of potatoes, rice and pasta combined. Any of these in moderation are ok. People maybe need to consult a doctor or nutritionist. Simple vs complex carbs are a REAL health issue for many people. And they can also lead to health issues over time.
Being labeled organic is a deep rabbit hole to go down
Truth!
and they fell for it badly you can put organic on a bag of dirt and people buys it.
@@nunstersplace LOL! organic dirt. You win the internet prize of the day!
Very broad parameters. Just like cage free & pasture raised. Lol
Lol.Price!!!
The key is to go to Costco on the weekend. It will be crazy busy but they set up the sample tables on weekends so you can really almost get a whole meal worth of free food while shopping.
Same thing for Sam's club
WE DIDNT MAKE PEANUT BUTTER POPULAR.....WE INVENTED PENUT BUTTER!
. . . . . . . so we made it popular
We love peanut butter! Thanks, George Washington Carver.
If you have a U.S. Costco membership, you can use it all around in the world that has a Costco. This family probably has a UK membership and using it in the U.S.
This family has another video where they visit Costco in the UK, so I believe you're right
Sorry Heìnz is not British. It's a US company that has had a manufacturing footprint in the UK since 1905. BUT is headquartersed in Pittsburgh PA
Organic means that no chemical pesticides and fertilizers were used in growing the product. So if a cookie is organic, the wheat, sugar, or other ingredients were not grown with the chemicals that could leach into the product.
Wrong about no fertilizers. Organic means that only natural fertilizers were used, not synthetic. Synthetic fertilizers come from oil by products. Synthetic fertilizer makes less flavor.
@@SKEC212 that is what I meant by not using chemicals. Natural fertilizers are not the same as the synthetic chemicals.
Did you know that regular commercial potatoes are sprayed with an herbicide before they go to the grocery store? I just don't want to eat that.
@@LisaAprilWow😰
@@renee5748very well put.
Louis, remember that pretty much all the food they’re looking at is organic, gluten free, and or vegan so it will be considerably more expensive. A small gluten free loaf of bread costs me around 8 dollars, which is 3-4 dollars more than a larger loaf of good quality normal bread.
Yup, if you shop on Saturday’s you can easily make a whole meal out of all the samples!
The lettuce in the box is easy to save. You just tear the lid off, use what you want and put the lid back on and save.
Try to find a a package and make yourself a fresh loaf the for like $2-3 . Bob's Red Mill is really good.
I'm really fortunate there's a local store Ocean State Job Lot that has Schär for $2 table crackers, ciabatta, baguettes, not the actual bread, I get that at Aldi. Aldi used to have a lot of different gluten free options, not anymore.
Not knowing what a sofa fort or lava floor is is a sure sign of a misspent childhood. 😂😂😂
You had to get a box fan involved with a sheet blown up for a light roof, cushions for chilling. I made them all the time.
@@rowanmayfair9249I made them when I was a kid but never got that into it haha. That sounds pretty nice 😂
@@johnnyrocket1685 I was a very bored child apparantly. 😜🤣
We could play a drinking game with how many times they say organic 😂
I thought it was just me...😂
Bush's Baked Beans are top tier for me! No brand can beat it in my mind
Captain Ken's baked beans are my favorite. They are in the frozen section, packaged in an aluminum pan. You heat them in the oven and takes forever. I usually buy Bush's baked beans because you can quickly heat them in a pan.
@@repairit1 I prefer eating canned foods straight from the can instead of heating it up
@@Proudtman You shared that because? Lol
@@Kim-427 Purely because it's my honest opinion
@@Proudtman Lol
Rotisserie chicken is the best for only five dollars per chicken… it’s always moist and always tasty.
Lewis I used to have a Costco membership, and I said I used to. I am one of those people that will walk in to buy a 40 pack of water for $4 and then be like "I could use that blender" or "I want that 2 pounds of beef jerky."
"It's just beans why do you have to put anything else with it?"... Spoken like a true Brit. I'm not sure they realized that baked beans are more than just beans to add to something. Also, they make a vegetarian baked beans. Bush's beans are the best.
25:50 Nope. Heinz isn't a UK company. Heinz is a US company. Lol
You are correct Heinz is originally a U.S. company. However they expanded to the U.K. Way back in 1886. They have their own Heinz division in the UK that produces products we can’t buy here in the U.S. I recently bought a can of Heinz beans at my local Kroger…it cost $4.00 for one 8oz can because it’s an imported item and it says product of the U.K. right on the back of the can.
I'm not sure I've ever eaten beans with nothing added to them in my whole life, and I'm not sure I want to try it...
@@robhillyer6786someone has to pay for John Kerrys face lifts.
Costco is probably the only place where you regularly get free samples.
Sams club also does samples
Dude, Sams club? Never been in one?
When you visit America, if you can't get an American to scan for you, you can buy a giftcard at the side attached(but separate) Costco liquor store next to the main entrance.
this family actually did a pretty good job for a $130-160 haul, they were fairly frugal with some high value nutritious calories and a few offer sales.
Yeah, my family can never leave without somehow spending $300-400
I LOVE those peanut butter pretzels. They are such good highway munchies
To keep greens from going bad: I live alone and greens ‘gas’ so place paper towels between layers of your greens and they’ll last fresh longer. If you have a lot of greens, you might have to replace the paper towels if they become damp.
I shop at Costco twice a month. I live in Vermont USA. The bakery, produce, and meat savings pay for the membership alone. I buy about $100 worth of meat that covers a whole month for 2 adults and a child. I save way more than $60 a year. It's healthier and cheaper to cook from scratch any how. They also have great gifts for the holidays at amazing prices.
You have to keep two things in mind. The WHOLE purpose of Costco is go to and shop in bulk. Secondly, a lot of what they are buying is "Vegan", "Gluten Free", and/or "Organic". Those are ALWAYS going to be pricier.
I couldn't dine with these people LOL
Hopefully they don’t judge others eating habits.
I wouldn't buy most of the groceries this couple bought. Blah !!
@@kathybouziane5269 lol
These stores are great when you're shopping for a BBQ or a party. Larger quantities, good variety and reasonably cheaper prices.
Seriously - just ask one of us (in whatever state you are visiting) and we will take you in costco and you can use our membership to buy whatever you want. I'll be your Colorado connection lol
A friend of mine tried to let me use her card while I was shopping with her. Costco wouldn't let me use her membership. You might get lucky and find one that will, but that was not my experience.
I'd be your Kansas connection lol there are ways around using someone else's membership, like he goes in with you picks out what he wants and gives you the money for it before you get to the register or after you leave the store.
@@KellyPargas-bw2hk exactly. Also, my membership comes with a second card - would take two minutes to sign him up on the 2nd card.
Yeah, they nail you for that now. It's better to go together, separate items, and your friend pays you back.
Alabama connection here. I live literally next door to a Costco in my city. 👍✌️
Honestly man, your my favorite RUclipsr. Even if you filmed yourself shopping and all you got was junk food. I would be cheering you on hard-core! Go L3WG Go!! 👏 🎉
I am from the US (Kansas) and these stores are for large families and especially for restaurants and food trucks to buy in bulk and save money. That's why these packages are so big.
You probably could ask any American in the store if they would temporarily adopt (sponsor) them for their one time visit by using their membership card at the register.
Occasionally family members and friends will loan out their membership cards to each other.
The cards just authorize the purchases to be scanned.
Sometimes customer service will give a promotional day pass with a temporary membership card to entice a return trip.
Shopping at Costco is typically a four week supply for the price of two.
Bulk shopping is why our refrigerators and freezers are so large and versatile.
Gone are the days when you can borrow a card. I've been going to the same Costco for over 30 years and many of the long time associates acknowledge me at the door and/or at the check out... but they still double check that the card I'm using is actually mine. Their profit is tied to the membership cards, and borrowing cards has been getting out of hand.
Yeah, you can't do that anymore.
They have started checking your picture on your card now. No loaning out of your card. They even make it difficult for separate orders on one card now. I try to take a friend of mine to use my card and they give him problems if I also shop. I have to take him on separate days from myself just to avoid the hassle. You can add one person to your card, but they need to share your address.
We call them “samples,” rather than “testers.” But, if you go into Costco or Sam’s Club around noon or at 2:30 pm (snack time) or 5:00 pm (dinner time) they have THE BEST samples to fill up on, and it’s great because it’s free! LOL
Fun fact: If you drop a steel nail into a glass of Coke, it will dissolve in about 4 days. It's also useful for removing paint from a car.
Heinz is as American as the star spangled banner and bald eagles. those ketchups and beans are OURS
have you ever seen the ingredients on a bottle of Heinz ketchup from the US and one from Canada?Completely different!The Canadian version is so much better.They use cane sugar and its way better!!Not sure why???
Here are a list of things you can do in Costco without a membership:
1) look around and try free samples
2) use the pharmacy
3) get an eye exam
4) eat at the food court
5) buy anything you want so long as you have a Costco Shop Card (their gift card) to use as your Costco ID at the register. seriously you don't even have to use the gift card to pay just to act as your Costco ID then pay by cash or credit. (the catch being you need someone who's a member to get you the gift card)
6) buy alcohol (only in 14 of the 50 states)
I think they just tightened up on the food court.
I got an eye exam once for free.
And again, it depends on State law (which changes all the time) about access to pharmacies, etc. In California you cannot get inside without a membership or cash card. And Costco stores are REALLY tightening up by checking the photo on the membership card to your face. A wife (or partner) can NOT use her husband's card to buy things. But if he, when he gets his card, shows she lives at the same address, her card is free.
Costco is Wholesale Membership Warehouse Club. It's all right their in the name. Haven't you guys got the message yet? Everything you buy is in large quantities because people buy for their families and business owners buy for their businesses. You know, most packages are resealable and you can close them and leave them for another day. Is that not a thing in the UK?? I've heard other RUclipsrs say the same thing.
Sams club is the same way
Lewis, you're not "unhealthy". You're just American at heart (stomach) 😄
;Not true, if you do your research, the British eat more McDonalds than Americans do.
The wife is spending money like a kid in a candy store. LOL.
She wears the pants in this family.😂
At CostCo you shop for Christmas...all year. She is looking at "baked beans" for about $1.25/can. That's a good price. Even our beans with tomato sauce has pork.
Dried beans NEVER go bad. Sealed airtight they literally will last forever
Costco is a warehouse store that sells products at bulk prices. Which is why everything is bigger than what you buy in a retail store. Bulk prices are usually lower than retail prices.
My family of 9 have eaten two of the big bags of tortilla chips with guacamole and/or salsa in one day. A lot of these items are used for family gatherings.
Being a vegan must really SUCK. If I was that kid I would run away from home, just to be able to eat something that wasn't dirt.
these people are not a good rep of a vegan diet cause they are so focused on health. i went vegan as a kid it was easy. I can go to pretty much any store by me and get vegan cookies, cheesecake, cupcakes, chicken nuggets, etc. I only had to give up really specific brands, nothing major.
@@princeofmayonnaise Rainbowkitty is a symptom of some serious mental health issues. I'll pass on any advise you have. www.youtube.com/@princeofmayonnaise/videos
The guys in the video has so much estrogen in their bodies because of their diet, and you can tell. 😂 That kid needs REAL meat…badly.
😂😂
If you think Peanut Butter Pretzels are crazy, there's several different flavors than just that. I just ordered a bag of Mustard Pretzels. But there's like a Sour Cream & Onion version as well.
Awww.... mustard pretzels are the best! I just bought a bag yesterday
The mustard pretzels are really good too.
15:34
One of the biggest differences between organic and non-organic products is that the ones labeled as organic are double their price as those without the "Organic" on the label
😂
The price difference is mainly because the organic certification is very expensive and it has to be renewed yearly. Plus the lack of chemicals makes the farm work a lot more labor intensive.
so clever /eyeroll
0:47
there are two ways... you can ask staff to get it to the register for you and you pick it up and pay for it on your way out. OR there are two type of 'carts' there are the regular looking ones and 'flat bed' ones that you normally see at large hardware stores...
As some commentators already mentioned here and there - Costco, along with Sam's Club (owned by Walmart) and BJ's - all the club stores work VERY strategically on their pricing. Certain products will be a little bit cheaper than Walmart/Target or "normal" grocery stores in America. Some products will be a LOT cheaper. But many products are comparable per pound/unit. Part of the strategy is them identifying what people are willing to pay more for either because they're already in the store or because they want a HUGE supply and don't want it in many many boxes or other storage packs. Once someone moves to America or you're born here and start shopping on your own, unless you're rich or the type of person that doesn't use brain power to compare prices, you learn which stores have better prices on each product or type of product. For people living in or near major metropolitan areas it's not unusual for us to hit 2 or 3 stores in a day or in a week to do all of our grocery shopping.
The MAJOR downside of the big club stores like Costco is they have limited selection. Probably still comparable to grocery stores in other parts of the world, but compared to a normal American grocery store or mega stores like Walmart/Target, the selection of products is much smaller for each type of food.
I'm 61, and I'd like a sofa fort!? ROFLMAO!
Costco is the creation of a guy who had started a similar operation called Fedco in Southern California. It was deeply discounting everything. Cosco sells at very near cost on everything. They charge an annual fee, which is their profit center. It is unique in that regard.
They pay employees incredibly well compared to other retail operations, and everyone works hard to keep costs down.
The founder had a bad hearing loss and got pissed about hearing aid prices. So he managed to get the laws changed that limited their sales to only specialty hearing centers. Then he set up hearing testing and sales using only the very latest instruments. The tests are free, and the aids--all top brands and state of the art, are 25 percent of what you pay at a specialty operation. That brought prices down everywhere.
In San Diego, I loved Price Club!!
"Do we do walnuts in the UK?" They're called English walnuts...
In Costco, the product for sale is at the floor level. Everything on the shelving is simply being staged for moving to the floor. This way they can keep up with demand. Costco sells Vacuum sealing machines so you can repackage your huge bag of goodies into smaller, vacuum sealed bags for later use. L3WG...I have a challenge for you. Try to produce an entire video where you don't say "Yo" or "Bro" even once
Organic means that the fertilizer used to feed the plant is made from living things from nature, like egg shells, mollasis, kelp, peat moss, cow manure, dried grass. Organic fertilizer costs more. That's why the food costs more. Non-organic means that the plant was fed with a synthetic fertilizer. Synthetic fertilizer comes from oil by-products. By-products are the left over stuff from processing oil that normally gets thrown away. It's an artificial food for the plant. When you grow with synthetic fertilizer the food will have less flavor and less smell. Synthetic fertilizer is way cheaper for the farmers and makes the plants grow faster and bigger. That's why they prefer it. I learned all this from working in a garden supply store with professional gardeners that used to work in large commercial greenhouses in California. They know their stuff.
Fun fact: Publix grocery stores often have free samples AND buy one get one free stuff! Just gotta check their weekly flyers to see what’s being offered. You can’t go to Florida without at least going to Publix. Their bakery is the bomb and so is their deli. You can get a veggie sub as well! So if you don’t eat meat, try that. My friend always gets the veggie sub even though she does eat meat. I don’t but hey! Choices!
7:36
A. most packages are resealable, especially the 'snack' packs...
B. that's why there are so many 'preservatives' in American foods...
Every Costco I have been to have sample tables set up in every section of the store, mainly to promote new food products that just shipped in.
A lot of people in the US have resellers and vacuum packers, making buying bigger quantities more economical.
This is a very quiet Costco, the two near me are always super busy and there are usually some kids.
Organic means that no artificial chemicals (like pesticides) or GMO are used growing the crops; the reason organic is more expensive is because it takes more time and manpower to grow it naturally since we use a lot of chemicals and generally unhealthy stuff to force grow large amounts of crops.
While it's not always the case, a good deal of the big bags of snacks are a secondary container, with the individual snacks packaged inside.
When I buy one of those big bins of greens (specifically Spinach) part of how I keep it fresh is by wiping the condensation of the inside of the lid before putting it back.
Costco is pretty much the only place that still does samples, like on very rare occasion you'll have them run by a third party company, but beyond that pretty unheard of.
Just an FYI: all COSTCO prices are limited to a maximum of 15% profit. They have notable loss leaders as the quarter pound all beef USDA certified hotdogs with free refillable soda combo for $1.50, the $1.50 per slice pizza, $4.99 complete rotisserie chicken, etc. Name brand high end international chocolates and chocolate nuts, French and Australian wines, and many award winning products sold under Costco brands.
Costco makes it's money primarily on it's membership prices. Basic: $60/yr. Higher: $120/yr.
Organic: grown without pesticides or other man-made repellents. Naturally grown.
I just saw today that their membership fees are increasing for the first time in 7 years.
We do over do things here in the US, but warehouse giant packages are great for restaurants, schools, daycares, etc. I work at a school and we order food from Sam’s Club.
Do they realize that Costco and Sam’s Club sell items in bulk??? That’s why the bags are so large. Everything you buy there is intentionally large.
I watched one of your videos just cuz I was curious about the British culture just yesterday, and since then I watched a lot of your videos. I'm Canadian but our culture is pretty similar to our neighbour's down under. I enjoy your content (and your accent! ) a lot.
Organic = no pesticides used or the livestock was raised eating organic feed. So in pasta, they used wheat grown without the use of pesticides, and in gummy bears, probably organic corn syrup, sugar, gelatin, and food coloring (whatever’s in that).
As a current cancer patient this has become super important to me as of late. If an organic version of something exists, that’s what I’m buying.
Me too after going through breast cancer in 2016!
Weights are as stated on the bag/box here in the US its required by federal law.
Large bags of almost everything are typically resealable unless its chips (crisps in the UK).
Arby's cookie butter shake is made with Biscoff cookie crumbs. Its delicious.
At least she said the bucket of Nutella was ridiculous. 😂
Does oat have gluten? I thought gluten is a wheat product, I may be wrong. If I'm correct it could be that one company labled theirs as gluten free just to draw more attention bc its techically true and a massive buzz phrase over here.
Everybody's gonna say you seem like an American with a British accent is what it sounds like.
Chemical pesticides, basically is the big difference between organic and inorganic. Organic can't use human made compounds to do basically any part of the growing process. Non-organic doesn’t have the same restrictions.
Yes, organic is typically higher price.
Pimento is the red part in green olives . There's also a really good cheese spread with Pimentos; it's creatively called Pimento cheese spread.
It is a mix bc the store wants to make a profit. Theres some items where the store loses money to draw people in and others they know people will impulse buy usually have higher prices.
Organic stuff almost always has a label and it can be misleading bc it doesn't refer to production/processing but growth.
Costco and Sams Club do testers. It's uncommon everywhere else.
Costco allows shopping without membership if you have a Costco branded gift card or come with a member, order from Uber eats or online. Sam's club has non member day passes but adds a 10% service fee to your purchase. Some items are required by law to be available to non members like pharmacy, alcohol and food court.
Actually Sam's club no longer does the day pass(at least in the USA)
At 5:04 the item they are looking at toward the ceiling is a playhouse for children. They've put it up high to show it off, also to keep kids off of it so they don't have to supervise and keep kids safe.
33:18 A calf is a baby cow.
Café is a small eatery. KA-FAY
Or maybe it's cafeteria?
They buy a lot of snacks. I like Dollar Tree for snacks. We usually eat lunch and dinner and have a treat sometime during the day.
I would argue that just because a product is listed as "organic" that it is healthier for you! All it means is that the product was grown or produced using no man made substances, which could simply mean fertilizers, anti-fungals or pesticides to ward off harmful pests! I think people get way too wrapped up into the phrase and just need to concentrate on what they put in their mouths, not so much how the thing was grown. I do acknowledge that some education should be implemented such as hormone free meats....but that being said, just be reasonable.
Its not no man made substances, they just have a smaller list of approved fertilizers and pesticides. Though the issue is most people involved in the process just don't care, so they will just take their normal crops and slap an organic sticker on it. Stores have been caught when they have run out of organics just slapping organic stickers on normal products.
How does the anti fungal work with mushrooms??? 🧐🤔🤯
@@rowanmayfair9249 LOL
There was a study done to see if organic actually was a better option. The scientists said that most of the products were the same and that most farms are not constantly being inspected or regulated. I myself will never pay money for essentially the same thing.
At stores like Cosco and Sam's Club, there is a membership fee, I prefer Sam's Club, which is a part of the Walmart chain. They are bulk stores mostly, like if you want peas, you buy the whole 6-8 pack case (it is cheaper this way). In those bulk stores the pallets above the shelves with the products on them are just storage.
The large packets are usually resealable
Harvest peas are pea shaped snacks(almost like chips made of peas)
Costco breads are also longer loaves vs regular store versions
Bananas usually are like .69~89/pound, Costco is one batch is $1.99 for the whole thing
Costco always had sample sections, only COVID stopped it for awhile
Lewis, we freeze a lot of things we buy in bulk and only take out what we need at a time. I think our refrigerators (with freezers) are larger than yours.
Everything is better with bacon in it like the beans
Organic food is significantly more expensive, as are a lot of the plant-based specialty products. It's important to note that grocery and "stuff" prices can vary dramatically depending on where you live in the country. Also, people assume places like Wally World (aka Walmart), Aldi, and Costco/Sams/BJs are always cheaper, but that's not necessarily so. Major grocery chains run major sales every week on different products and there are seasonal sales. E.g. Corned Beef is 9.99 - 12.99/lb where I live, except for around St. Patrick's Day, when it goes on sale to 2.99/lb. So, I wait until March each year, buy all of my corned beef for the year, vacuum seal, and freeze it.
My ex husband grew the organic English cucumbers. They used so many chemicals in the water that it would eat away at his pants and shoes. The only difference was they didn’t use chemicals to spray, they would use bugs to kill any other bugs. The whole organic thing is a crock of $&@#.
In the warehouse stores they started the trend of telling you on the price placards how much the product is by Oz or lb or whatever it is so you can easily compare the price to other stores or a smaller amount of product. It’s a very convenient way of deciding value for me
10:44
the price normally reflects where the product was made... if it was made in North or Central America, it'll be cheaper in the U.S... if it was made in Europe, it'll me more expensive in the U.S... and if it was made in Asia, it's probably the same in the U.S. and Europe...
A lot of these very large packages can be used for large families or daycare centers ect. In the US, buying in bulk (larger quantities) is often more economical. Most things can be broken into smaller portions and placed in freezer bags ect.
Costco, BJs, and Sams are all membership bulk shopping stores. It’s not like a regular super centers or grocery/retail stores. It’s a yearly membership and they are probably shopping with a friend who has a membership. You keep forgetting that the pound is usually worth 2.5 times as much as our $ so divide by that to get your pound equivalent.
When my boys were young and I had to go to Sam’s (similar situation as Costco) , I’m not kidding, I’d literally cover their eyes until I got to the food section! My oldest is 22 and he jokes that he’s still never seen the front of the store!
In America organic means they don't spray the chemicals that kill the bugs so if you see a bug in your organic food well you know why😂
Parents take kids to Costco for the food court. You can get a a hot dog and a soda for $1.50 or a huge pzza for 10 bucks!
I hope they are staying at least a month! This is a lot of food!! Don't shop at Costco for a visit! Just buy what you need at a grocery store. Costco is made for bulk shopping and restaurants.
Costco actually does have a one-day pass option if you were to come over. I'm sure they do it as a promo thing like, "Look what you can get if you join!" but yeah.
Lewis, there is no state like southern California. If you want snow you can go to the mountains, if you want hot, Palm Springs. Beaches, Orange County, or LA. We have it all. We don't get humidity like 95 percent of all the other states. Come here, and we will host you. You will love it. So Cali all the way.
Organics typically don't have the preservative chemicals in them. Also the plants that they are made from usually don't get sprayed with pesticides.
the trick when you go to a store, is this... MEATS first..., then veggies & fruits, then dairy, then breads, then other things... get the foods that make your meals first, then worry about snacks...
They are vegan. No meat.
Who buys meat at a Costco?
At least Costco memberships are globally accepted. So if you have a UK Costco card it will still be accepted in US.
I only shop at Costco for items which don’t rapidly expire. I tend to skip the breads and fruits as the quantity far surpasses what I alone can consume before they expire. The rest is fine as I have two refrigerator/freezer combos and an industrial vacuum sealer.
Coffee is around $11-14 for 2.5 pounds of beans at Costco right now (Ohio). They have a selection if you look at the unground beans.
Heinz is NOT a Uk brand 😂
Costco and Sam’s club also has free food samples between certain isles.
To explain organic very simply: Organic means the use of non-synthetic and/or no pesticides and no synthetic fertilizer. There's no nutritional difference. It's mostly marketing when you get down to it. Organic produce and non organic produce are effectively the same.
20 years ago, we would drop $75 every time we went to Costco (back then, it was called Price Club). Now it costs us at least $200 every time we go.
when you checkout, you have to have your membership card for the machine. that's why they can't buy stuff. but usually you can get a temporary card called a 'day pass' that is active for that day only. this is sort of a 'test drive' for the store to attract new members. I don't know why they couldn't get one, they don't explain, but all the stores do it. so it's really good for visitors (from other countries) BUT you don't need the card to buy from the food court. and they won't kick you out for not having a card, the door greeter will just direct you to the customer service desk.
After I saw this, I had to look up the difference between organic and non. & I usually look for organic products, lol 😆! I Googled it:
Organic foods are grown without synthetic chemicals, hormones, or antibiotics, while non-organic foods, also known as conventional foods, are grown using synthetic chemicals and other conventional farming practices.
I’m sure someone from this channel will take you to Costco.
The membership is yearly. Organic means the farmer doesn’t spray petroleum based fertilizer or chemical pesticides on the vegetables and fruit.
Costco and Sam's are mostly used by businesses that go through the products quickly. Restaurants, offices, concession stands etc..
Thank George Washington Carver a scientist who created Peanut butter
That's not true. He invented many uses for the peanut, but not peanut butter, which is odd I know.
No he did not. He found over 300 uses for peanuts but peanutbutter wasn't one of them.
For the most part, Organic is a label they can be added to an item to increase the price. With produce and meats there are standards that are supposed to be used.
2 things I’ve noticed. Brit’s say “calf” we say “Cafay”. Brit’s say “Air con”. We say “AC”
Or is it calf for cafeteria?
@pauladuncanadams1750 it's spelt cafè for short
@livestreammaster it's not "spelt. The correct word is spelled. If you're going to correct someone on their spelling, at least do so correctly.
I would absolutely love to see this guy interview Americans like myself to learn the cultural differences and potentially see American culture firsthand
