None of your videos are boring Hannah, because your personality and how you present subjects is very engaging and approachable
I totally agree 👍 She rocks every time 😊
100 % agree!!😊😊
We in the US take halloween/autumn VERY seriously; "Spirit Halloween" shops overtake every piece of empty commercial real estate after July, the kick off of college football and sweater weather parties, and of course pumpkin spiced everything.
I was on my way out the door to run some errands when I picked up my phone and it flashed a notification about your new video. I made a u-turn and went to my tv to watch it. As someone who worked for Costco for 18 years, I was all in. Regarding the lack of Halloween items, it’s quite possible they stocked them back in July (as you saw for Christmas, holidays come very early at Costco). And once the stock is gone, it’s gone. Beyond that, again, I thoroughly enjoyed your video with your sense of humor alway taking center stage (“…the months of ber,” “where do all the socks go?” Always such a treat to watch you scoot around. Thanks!
One good thing about Friday is a new video from Hannah. I really enjoy your Costco videos💕
This is another awesome video with you shopping and listening to your reactions about Costco, you always brighten up my Friday's and I hope
you have a very Beautiful weekend Thank You Lady Hannah.🕊🇬🇧
That is shocking that they have regulations about who can get a Costco card. I live in Windsor Canada; and being across from Detroit, our main source of income is from the automotive industry. Yet, Costco is keeping in business because of these factory workers for close to 30 years! I am not a member, because it is just the two of us and where would we put those giant cans of food, but my goodness, the class system is alive and well in Britain!
It's not Britain, it's just Costco is an Yank company.
An excellent mechanic I worked for (they specialized in Landrovers) said Costco is the best place for tyres - they are careful to align them, will only sell you the correct ones for your particular car, and have a great warrantee. They will also repair tyres (we had a puncture and they repaired it for free because of the warrantee).
@@ExoticDoll-ct3udin Canada and the US anyone can purchase a membership. This is a British thing.
I am also from Windsor, ON and when Costco first arrived early 90’s only certain professions were eligible for membership- not sure when they did away with it. We have HST like your VAT wish they’d show our price with tax- hate the surprise at the till!😉
@@graciellastokes7979 In the US it also does not show tax because our tax varies by state, county, and sometimes city whereas I think it the UK it is one rate everywhere.
This recent surge in popularity of Halloween seems to have almost killed off Guy Fawkes night a few days earlier, presumably because shops have realised there is more money to be made from Halloween.
Just more Americanisation of our country. Another British tradition ruined and soon to be lost.
I’m from York originally. We call it a dressing gown. In the U.S they call them bath robes I think
house coats in Canada!
Dressing Gowns are normally called house coats or bath robes.
There’s definitely a difference between a “housecoat” “bathrobe” and a “dressing gown” not sure what the difference is, but when I see them I can categorise which one is which……….its a gift………I think it might be my MARVEL superpower, like deadpool or iron man, I could be “ bathrobe/dressing gown/housecoat categorisation man” tada
A housecoat is something my grandmother wore in the days before central heating, a bath robe is something you wear when you get out of the bath wet and a dressing gown is something a woman might wear whilst she applies her makeup before putting on her going out dress on to avoid makeup spills. Alternatively, call it whatever you like!
bathrobe: terry cloth... dressing gown... flowy fabric
21 yr employee. Initially Costco was always just for the business community. The bulk was for retail stores to come and stock their stores. They were able to buy their stock months before the actual season so reg shoppers could buy at the actual season time. Britain may eventually allow the general public to become members just like here in Canada, and elsewhere. Even when the public were permitted, only the business card holders shopped for the first 45 minutes. Now it's a free for all chaos 😂 Right now, we have Halloween and Christmas in the stores. Pumpkin pie will be available around Thanksgiving time, October 2nd week. Costco will only carry proven sellers throughout the chain. It depends on your demographic, Halloween may not have proven its value in Britain yet. Your food items are definitely regional. You carry lots of foods we don't have in North America and vice-versa. Also, Canada cannot sell alcohol within the warehouse, Its a separate entity due to licensing laws. Happy shopping..
Costco croissant are incredible and much cheaper than pretty much anywhere else. Oddly for a US based company they don't sell US sized clothing or shoes for people my size 🙂
p.s. Costco is a wholesaler and has to comply with the wholesale laws in the UK which restrict the amount of goods that can be sold to the "general public" but also influences how planning laws apply to their store locations. Frustrating for some, but beneficial to others.
Hun I’m born Scotland grew up Kenya & Oz - now London. A dressing gown universal name for a bloody ‘dressing gown’ in all countries I’ve lived in all cultures
P.S. if you want to have a ton of health problems, eat American food. Our food is designed to make ya eat more,get addicted to it,and make u a long life long Healthcare costumer.
Always a pleasure to see you. 🌹
Hi Hannah Costco is one of my favorite shopping experiences. Anyway 32 days and I'll be flying into Heathrow!!! Yay....
Never been inside a Costco. That's a bit out of order having the price you pay, smaller and a bigger price. I bet that's caught heaps of people out.
Have a great weekend Hannah x
Hi Hannah and everyone here 🎉
I gained over two pounds in weight and acquired type 2 diabetes just watching the section on food. But on the plus side I now feel like a real American.
A beautiful woman with a beautiful accent throwing out a, "Fall Y'all," made this Texan smile.
Marry her!
Loved looking at this. Thank you
Christmas 🎄 begins in October in the Philippines 🇵🇭
I'm in the North east of England, a dressing gown is just a dressing gown. House coat sounds very posh, and something like bath robe very american.
We are knee-deep in autumn in our house, all the autumnal Dec's are out, pumpkin cushions on the sofa, pumpkin candles lit, we are definitely celebrating this season
Hannah, your a crack up. Love watching you. Feel free to come here to Los Angeles and review our Costco. No you don't have to be Lawyer to shop at Costco. I've had the pleasure of visiting London serveral times especiallly during the holidays. London does the holidays better than we do.
Some prices here in London's Costco are so bloody ridiculous here & I avoid going shopping at places like Costco's here in the UK! Happy Friday Hannah and have a beautiful weekend!
Yay! Another good Friday video from you gorgeous Hannah. 🥰 I’m learning about Costco tonight then? 🤔😉
Last time you visited Costco you made the papers 😅
It's a dressing gown in Newcastle.
"I hope you know your months". 🤣 You're videos are never fails--your comments and asides always make them worth it!
🙂
in Leicester (up north about 99 miles from London)....its a 'dressing gown' 🙂 happy Friday Hannah 🙂
Hannah the 1.50 hot dog deal is sometimes the only good thing about Costco 😁
@@TTrigg I agree!
Here in Georgia, we had a mild reduction in temps, folks started breaking out the Fall decor....but no, Summer isn't done with us yet 😂.
It’s a shame Costco in the UK is such a missed opportunity. They’ve somehow managed to make a mess of one of the best businesses in the US.
It was explained to me that a bath robe is what you put on after a shower/bath, and it can 'dry' you, whereas a dressing gown is what you put on getting out of bed, over your nightwear.
Happy Friday!!!! 🎉 🥂 😎 🎈
Hey Hannah, up in Scotland it's a house coat or a dressing gown or just a plain Goonie, just depends where you're from and class implications etc.
Nice to have you back , did you have a nice holiday and loving the red nails. Happy Friday Hannah & have a great weekend and excellent video as ever. 🎉
This one is a gem, had to screenshot the face of that vlogging christmas in september character. btw, I kept hearing "octagonal design", but now understand it was "autumnal design" a new 'britishism' for me.
I hope we get to see your new place!
Socktopia Hannah, correlate with you on that matter. A little homesick watching as I left Wembley when I was 8 back in ‘78 to the Netherlands. Miss England, love hearing you talk in a pure English accent. You Rock!
Hi Hannah, great video as always! I'm in America and they put the Halloween stuff out in July, then it's all gone by early October, very annoying.
Hannah It's Dressing gown in The North. Love Your Colour Of Nails, Having Mine Done Tomorrow Same Colour. Great Vlog. Have a lovely Weekend. Xx 😘
Yes - it’s a dressing gown in the North. You’d get a funny look if you called it a robe.
Loop back fabric last MUCH longer than fluff backed (loop back is called "french terry")
It’s a dressing gown in Lancashire.
Hi Hannah, I am a northerner and I have always called it dressing gown, how ever my sister in law calls it a house coat 🤨😂an other great vlog loved it , thank you 😘
Over here in the deep south, the southern hemisphere, we just had one of the coldest winters on record. I would not want to go into winter now 🥶. Global warming might have come to your rescue, but no, I see a colder than average winter is forecast due to a Polar Vortex. Watch out for those vortices.
I live in the PNW, and I've always heard dressing gowns called bath robes.
I was at Costco here in Texas last week. It had plenty of Halloween decor and candy on display, as well as Christmas!
Autumn is my favorite time of the year because it means cooler weather will be coming to Texas!
I purchased a membership for my daughter (USA). We believed she would use the membership regularly. In fact, she has used it three times. I have not purchased anything at Costco I truly need.
Good luck with your move.
Hannaaaaaaaaa, not you at Costco , make us dream with your nice Stores please
I think the huge partial skeleton is supposed to go on one's front lawn. Yes, I live in the US. We go hog wild with Halloween decorations and it's fun. Some people cover their entire front yards with Halloween decorations, and it gets very elaborate. Some people use dry ice to simulate fog.
Evening, Hannah. Hope all’s well in your cosmopolitan world? Norwich is going to have a Costco built, and, remembering your previous vlog on Costco London, I’m looking forward to seeing the building and checking it out too.
Yeah... Friday smile time! By the way, I'm curious to know, which of those eligibility criteria you fulfil? 🤔
Ciao Hannah da noi l 'accappatoio si usa per asciugarsi dopo bagno. La vestaglia si indossa per stare comodi la sera. Ciao Cara Hannah, è sempre bello uscire con Te. Buon weekend. 👑👑🌻🌻🌻🌻🇮🇹
Hi Hannah, Frank from Texas originally from London I am over here at the moment absolutely love your videos .I live right by a Costco in Texas And they will work so much faster to get you through the queue not like ENGLAND they really do know how to check you out 😀 oh by the way, absolutely Love NORD VPN thank you 🥂😉
You're like a breath of fresh air Hannah.
It was fine Hannah. It's always absolutely lovely to spent time with you regardless of venue. Odd they're not taking full advantage of Halloween as a marketing opportunity! Personally, I haven't been to the nearby Costco for a very long while. The parking lot always is so full. Queuing up for a parking space is where I draw the line. Preppers?! (lol) We, in British Columbia, can order product online for delivery. I'm so glad you are being careful on your bicycle. Sounds like changes are unfolding. My very best to you dear Hannah. I hope all is well. Your nails are divine. Take care Hannah. I'm looking forward to seeing you again this coming Friday 10 AM PST! (my emojis aren't functioning again)
An American store in London where most of us can’t shop. Have to give this one a miss Hannah.
Super fun video, thanks! 😊 I’m in Tennessee and lots of folks in our town already have giant skeletons out in their yards, and a chiropractor in town has one on the roof of his building. One I saw was dressed up. Very funny!💀💀💀 It’s so neat to see your tours of stores.
Love your videos! I love that you share the UK way of saying things etc. Your coat is very nice! We have a Costco in Fargo, but I am not a member right now, have been off and on. For sure a fun place! I love to hear your perspective!
Housecoat is the button up version of the dressing gown which is a wrap around cover for the nightdress.
Sams Club (rival of Costco) and Lowes are still full of huge Halloween outdoor features/ornaments, but all the Christmas trees & ornaments are out as well. Where do people put this stuff when the special holidays are over? Thought the clothing was very disappointing. Looking forward to your next vlog.
Hello Hannah, 92 degrees ferinhite 🥵 here in southern Ohio today. Always nice taking a stroll through the Costco with you. Cheers Ron and Dovie
Hi! I'm in Columbus and I am quite frankly done with miserable summer!
@@lizkunkel6751 you can say that again
Balsam Hill they sell artificial trees pre-lit advertising since July , we do like Christmas here in America the earlier they can start the better they like it . Christmas movies start showing last 2 weeks in October. We sing to skip Thanksgiving and go straight into Christmas . Other than that have a fantastic weekend Hannah. See you next week.
Goulishy spooky show today Hannah 😂
Another super video thanks to your great bubbly personality keep up the good y😊😊😊😊
I enjoy your channel so much! Well done! It is interesting to see what items are in the UK since I am in the US. Some are the same, some is not, but that is true at every Costco store.. As for early displays of various holiday items....they are ordered 9-12 months ahead and shipped to retail around 4 months ahead. I have worked in retail - a ladies boutique actually. But it is the same for any retailer that handles seasonal items. It is a storage problem for retailers so everything is displayed early since wholesalers insist on early . I don't like it and everyone I know complains about the seasons being pushed so far ahead. As for the wacky giant Halloween items, that is a matter of taste. There are certainly many who are crazy for Halloween, decorating in over the top manner. But, there is an equal if not more number of people who don't go extreme. Halloween items here were rolled out in AUGUST!! I know. Ridiculous. Commercial "scary" venues for large number of people have grown in popularity over the last ten years. Anyway, I'm looking forward to viewing more interest vlogs from you. Loved the Cotswolds! And Harrods! And all the other vlogs you have done.
Hi Hannah!..Another stroll around..I remember your last vlog at Costco..I used to go there when my Mom was here, but no more..Their hot dogs were very good, only 1.50 with a drink!..I may treat myself to a chocolate cream pie or a carrot cake!..The weather here in New Jersey continues to be sunny..Oh..you lok great in your suede coat too!.See ya next time.bye!
Great Nails, looking great as always Hannah. Take Care 😎👍9+
Your Costco is much better than mine in Pennsylvania! Another great video. I love watching your expeditions. I just got iced pumpkin spice Starbucks at Aldi’s. Delish!
Love Costco❤😊
A robe, pronounced rowb, is what a wrap is called in the States. Love your videos! And your colloquialisms.
I love going round the shop with you and seeing all the new stuff. Most people dont show everything like you do even the boring bits 😂 thats what I like about your videos tho.
Not a member. Single lady here and don't really buy things in bulk. :) Love your videos Hannah! 😎💜
They have Panettone at both of my local Costco's in the US. And everywhere has pumpkin products - it seems to earlier and earlier every year.
Cosco Hannah thank you so much for showing me all the things your precious time my Hannah is the best beautiful Queen of you tube ❤❤ lots of Love 💕💕 keep the good work always with you
I'm loving your videos Hannah, visiting next year so I'm making a list of places to see and things to do.
I'll be seeing Oasis in Wembley next year!
Former Geordie and Teessider here. It has always been Dressing Gown to me, and I have never known it called anything else in the UK. Now I live in the USA they are called "Robes" or "Bath Robes"
Good Afternoon, Hannah, I enjoyed watching your RUclips video! I like your new coat, In regards to your question about Halloween, I am glad the season is changing from summer to fall, I look forward to this time of the year with the Fall colors on the trees and getting ready for Thanksgiving and Halloween, Thank-you for the video, Alister Ian Hoult, Carrying Place, Ontario, Canada.
As a Midwesterner from state of Missouri, I'd love everything American. To my dearest UK consumer; if your country look & feel like America, I'll no longer visit your country! Please do not purchase all the oversized American stuff! I apologized for our bad influence. Regards, David
Candy corn is a vegetable🎃🖐🇺🇸
Enjoyed your tour of UK Costco, Halloween items usually appear in July and Christmas items at the end of August. Our hotdogs are also $1.50 Cad, guess 1.50 is the magic number. Thanks for the tour.
The hot dog price is universal as it's the founders legacy. When he retired a few years back, it was one of those items he never wanted changed 😊
In Northern Ireland, some people call it a dressing gown and others call it a house coat 😊
Another great video as usual. Apparently missing socks evolve into coat hangers.
Omg yay I love a Costco video sm thank you
My Favourite RUclips channel Another brilliant vlog agin Thank you Hannah always well presented 😘👏🏻
I think that large skelly can be seen from the space station!
Hi Hannah I love your shopping vlogs
The prices are definitely higher considering the exchange rate. For instance I just saw the same touch lamps at our Costco in the U.S. for $20 and your is 20 pounds so that is higher. I can’t wait to visit the London Costco next time I’m there!
I have a tag watch and a few other brand’s. I wear them as jewelry and I don’t have to pull out my cellphone all the time. We have all Christmas 🎄 here too. Love their cooked chicken. You got your Prada purse 👜 😊😊
Looking at the people that British Costco allows to get memberships, it seems that they are in work that might make them more money than the average Joe. You'd think the average income earner could benefit best from Costco shopping, but who knows. I'm in Canada and anyone here can get a membership although I've yet to take the plunge. Thanks again for a great mooch around. I look forward all week to these videos. They are my escape from reality and I really need them. LOL. Enjoy the weekend Hannah and of course my fellow watchers. P.S. Decades ago I too watched a report on how hot dogs are made and I've still not been able to eat them. LOL Pity as they can smell so good!
Hi Hannah, not boring or rubbish at all, you just commented on what was going on. Halloween is celebrated in US more than it ever has in the UK. About 10 years ago we had trick or treat for a couple of years and it just died a natural death it seems. Pumkin spiced item thing tend be in coffees etc, very few people use the vegtable itself and Pumkin flesh is not sold fresh or frozen in places like Iceland or other supermarkets very much.
I remember COSTCO tried halloween a few years back up in Manchester and never really caught on.
Maybe a re-launch is needed by companies like COSTCO to catch the imagination of the general public.
Have fun this weekend and see you next Friday. Steve
The Edwardian packaging is enticing. Red velvet had beetroot in back then. Dressing gowns are de rigeur in supermarkets in NZ . Housecoats here had a lighter fabric and design (that could be a trend for shopping). [ Just not in "taupe" like those jackets ].
Red velvet is a vanilla cake with a hint of cocoa 😊
I live in Manchester and call it a dressing gown x
Evening Hannah thank you for the Costco tour. Not a fan of Costco I must say been twice. Enjoyed he vlog though always love a look while shopping thank you
Here in NC those are called house coats, Hannah. 😂. Love your videos
Your “sock” analogy resonated with me as I can never find a matching pair, and I usually put them altogether in the washing machine and where they go is anyone’s guess…?
8:15 - 😂 yes I'm totally the same, they go missing or lost in the laundry somewhere for ages. I do find them eventually but I wear colourful socks so having them mismatched kinda looks cool lol
Love your Costco vlogs!
