She has a good Christian channel if you don’t know Found in Alaska is her KZread channel.. I have been following her for a few years.. Thank You for sharing a good Christian clean channel too. I have really enjoyed your channel. GOD BLESS FROM JULIE WEST CENTRAL INDIANA FARMLAND ✝️🇺🇸😊🚜

Another fine haul from Costco. We have a similar but it's called CostULess. Thanks for sharing. Hafa adai and love from the island of Guam 🌴❤🌴

I can't wait until next spring when our Costco opens. I have to drive about 45 minutes each way to go. I shop at Sam's and BJ's a lot. They are super close.

360.00 I am not good at guessing !!! Everett would have been in heavean, with all the samples. Luna is a beautiful girl. Hugs and Blessings to all of you.

I had guessed $375 for the groceries, so I wasn't off by much. We're getting an Aldi in a town just up from where I live and I can't wait to go to it. I have a cousin in Oklahoma,who shops there all the time and I've seen a lot of the channels I watch go there. I'm so excited to go to Aldi lol I truly hope that y'all have a great day Lauren ❤️❤️

We love the dumplings they are great for a quick lunch or even a snack! Have a great day

I always love the Costco videos

Good night Lauren and Mark and family and thank you for sharing your beautiful day 🌞 😊

Hi Lauren from Abbotsford, BC, Canada, I just wanted to let you know that I was reading that they are discontinuing "Rao's" sauces probably by the end of the year, so you might want to stock up! Also for the Cilantro Lime Crema, I cook my chicken in it and have it over noodles or make it into tacos instead of sour cream, it's so good! I really enjoy watching your channel and seeing what it's like to live in Alaska compared to where I live! Happy sunny days to you!

How sweet thy you remember their names and how you interact with everyone…… I love it and why I live watching your channel!!!! You’re such an amazing family…… we need more of this everyday

Yes Lauren that chicken is wonderful. I love going to Costco after watching your videos. I always find new good deals and new products to try.

Good Morning Lauren! I hope you have a blessed day. My house hold will only eat the Just Bare chicken strips too! Ever since we tried them a few months ago I have a bag in the freezer at all times now, just like we have southern sweet iced tea in the frig. It's nice and sunny here in Mid Missouri...7:40 a.m. and it's 70 degree's at the moment~ suppose to reach 90 degree's again today...I'm thinking if it's already this hot Missouri may melt this summer! 😂 God Bless from Mid Missouri

Good morning Lauren from Tennessee !! Glad to see your Costco friends ! Have a great day !

Great friends at Costco!! Donna is a hoot!! I went to Costco last week with my sister and bought the Raos (haven't tried it yet) and the Crunchy Rollers-love the taste of them!! I guessed $400.00-close. It's too bad the Sample King wasn't along today-he would have had fun!!🙂 I watched a family from New York shop at their local Costco and they rave about the Just Bare chicken nuggets as well!! 👍

Thank you for the great lunch ideas. Wishing your family the very best. Happy Easter! From Minnesota 😊

We had the same problem with the freezer getting left open. We bought the latches that are meant for baby safety and made the rule that you had to latch the freezer and so far it’s solved the problem. 👍🤞🏻

Buy a WiFi temp alert for your freezers. That’s way you can be notified anytime the temp begins to raise

Yes, those dumplings are awesome. The ice cream cone pack you bought used to be only the cones? Now with sandwiches and fudge sticks? I think it’s funny you said you really can get away without A/C at home? Cars too? Our A/C goes 90% of the year. I card get filthy up there. Should invest in a car wash!😂 Lots of them in Florida. If I may ask, where’s your bnb? And what does Mark do for a living? Thanks for for the Costco ride today!❤

I found the Just Bare chicken tenders at Sam’s and had to pick up a bag at Lauren’s recommendation. I made some in an air fryer as she does. Sooo yummy!!!

Hey there, I was relaxing on my couch watching your Haul(Japanese BBQ sauce) when my phone stopped and an alarm went off very loudly saying "Earthquake" 😲 I froze!!! I heard the rumble and felt my whole house shake! 4.7 not too bad but sure woke me up! Enjoyed your Haul! Your hair is getting really long😊

I Am brand new and I just love your videos thank you to Ted guy for helping me

Surely someone has invented an alarm that sounds if the freezer has been left open more than say 5 minutes!? Would save so much food!

They got me with the sample of the dumplings too, they’re so good!

I hope you like the quinoa and brown rice with the lentils and red beans. I had it for lunch today, with lots of Cholula, so it was fun that you mentioned it in today’s video! Try adding some sausage to it, too, if you like. I keep meaning to do that. 😀

I hope you get some good rest.😴

Those candles and diffusors were actually a pretty good deal!! You need to pick up things like that year round for gifts. You never know when you might need one plus gets you a little ahead for the Holiday season. You can get a couple to few small gifts out of the candles. Maybe the diffusors to if you repackage cute. Just an idea. I do it all the time and often I am glad I did!!

When we were up in AK as a very late honeymoon and scouting for potential move last June, we were pricing our normal groceries at smaller towns and Anchorage. We were surprised that only a few processed things and meat were more expensive than Walmart here in Iowa. Meat was 20-100% more depending on the items, but realistically we would get most our meat from hunting/fishing and a little livestock. A lot of things were cheaper, and the produce was better ironically. Obviously that would be the reverse in winter. Even milk was cheaper at the time than most places here aside from Walmart. They were even marking down organic milk at Palmer to 3.60 ish to get it sold, but that is one off I would assume. Gas, vehicle rental, hotels, and restaurants were much more expensive though. Tourist season didn't help.

Aww what a good feeling to have people hug you because you’re so well liked. Amazing how your channel has taken off. Known world wide 🎉❤🌎

Those dresses are AMAZING. the most comfortable i have had in a long time, the pockets are a total bonus.

It meant a lot 😊 The weather hasn't changed since Video 1 of 3 Catch Up (Easter), so I won't repeat it. I do pray y'all are enjoying your long Holiday weekend: Happy Easter ✝️ Hi Gary, Craig and Donna. It's so nice to see them. All full of smiles, helpfulness and kindness 😊 No a/c... What!!? Nope, ain't happening. I have got to have my a/c and fans. Anything over 74°F and your girl is a grouchy pile of soggy moosh. I don't like hot... says the girl that lived in Florida for approximately 30 years 🥵 I love dumplings and potstickers: chicken and veggies or just veggies. Bibigo's aren't bad. I eat them with soy sauce and wasabi, Yashido's or a sweet and sour or Sweet Thai chili dipping sauce. I'll have to give that Japanese BBQ Sauce a try 🥟 Guava nectar is yummy. We just finished a "homemade" P.O.G. Juice... Yum. Those Multi-Grain Crackers and Cookies look yummy too. I have chili-lime pistachios and wasabi almonds that I really like 😋 Beautiful flowers, especially the 2nd and 3rd you showed: with the yellow and peach roses 💐 Hunter for the win - sons are awesome when it comes to lugging things around for Mom. Kudos 🙂 Hi Miss Luna 🐈‍⬛ Have a great weekend and make wonderful Holiday memories. Stay warm. Stay safe. Stay happy. Yah's Blessings ❤️

My husband and I are also obsessed with the nuggets. Best ever

Those prices are not bad at all! We are paying at least that in eastern Canada.I was expecting your prices on food to be outrageously high.

I was paying attention to all you bought and realized down in the South we pay about 2-3$ less per package.

Have a good day!❤

We don't have a Costco close to me, but I found the Just Bare chicken nuggets in a local grocery store. I really wanted to try them, but they were DOUBLE the cost of the other chicken nuggets 🤯. The bag looked to be about half the size of the ones you buy and was $12.99! I almost swallowed my tongue! Needless to say, I still haven't tried them 😂.

Really nice to have your videos to reference. We are looking to move up to Alaska in the next few years, so we were scouting and comparing prices on some things last June, but a continual look at prices helps a ton as we try to get used to a budget we would need up there. Interestingly enough, most groceries we would buy were cheaper up there when we were comparing in Seward, Palmer, Wasilla, Anchorage, and a smaller town about 1/4 of the way from Soldotna to Homer. Forgot the name, but even the Three Bears had decent prices. Right now we live in Iowa with our 3 daughters (7, 10, 12), and my hunting opportunities have dried up, and our fishing is terrible in most places we have any real access to. We are looking at lower Matsu or the Kenai Peninsula for the move, but I am working on my pilot certs and hours first to transition into an aviation career. Who knows, maybe we will run into you on one of our scouting trips or once we move. Unfortunately the only person we knew up there moved to Florida a few days before we went last year, so have to make some new connections before we start the house hunt and move, lol. Everyone we met was amazing and loved the small town vibe everywhere that has disappeared here over the last 10-15 years. Just felt like home, more so than here for sure.
