About Me:
Hi, I'm Louise! I started this channel in 2010 after readers of my old suggested I give KZread a try. I was instantly hooked and have found my internet playground on here. I make videos about special days I want to remember, plus size fashion, motherhood, lifestyle and occasionally have guests (friends, kittens or my sweet Daughters Darcy, 12 and Pearl, 5).
I also write (book number SIX is out now!), podcast (Mother's Meeting, series 2 out now) and waffle on all over instagram.

I chat every day on my other social media (linked above) so do come and say hi!
Big hugs,

Love a bit of Costco, going tomorrow in fact. My recommendations are the 30x vegan Richmond sausages for £7.99 (in supermarkets it's normally £3.50 for 4). I adore the giant muffins, 2 packs for £10-£12 they are great for parties, cut up or whole and they're freezable

"Mini" Victoria sandwich cakes and the big bags of frozen chicken tenders! We use the tenders all the time in wraps, with rice, whatever- they're so tasty!
As someone who works in the Costco buying team, we have to show saving against the market (it’s part of our ethos) Regularly doing checks on other retailers and pricings are adjusted regularly:)

I'd love to know what people who work at costco think of the Netflixs show about costco ?
The only time I went to Costco I bought a HUGE bag of cat biscuits, couldn't be bothered to divvy it up into smaller containers, and woke up the next day to find my cat had chewed through the corner of the bag overnight and had absolutely feasted on biscuits 😂

haha bet your cat is a fan of Costco!
If you soak strawberries and blueberries in vinegar. Let dry on towel for 4 hours. Store in glass jar with kitchen towel. Last up to 4 weeks.
Louise! you are killing the content recently. Shopping around costco with you was surprisingly cozy! Could wash this over and over again! lots of love x
I love this. I live in America and go to Costco all the time. It's so interesting to see what Costcos in other countries offer. ❤

But the same rickety carts that we have here- and the same Driscoll's berries!
I adored this vlog. I'm in America and my absolute fav at Costco are the crispy coconut rolls. They are so light and airy, yet crunchy and just perfect in every way....warning though, once you start snacking it's difficult to stop yourself!
Costco trips with my cousins in the noughties was amazing. All the free samples and amazing pizza! Bought my first CD there, Billie Piper 😂
The big bonne mama jam is always a win in our house, and price is great! LOVE that broccoli salad, always tempted by the nacho cheese sauce too but no one needs that much at home!! We also grab the sour cream and chive pretzels (they give you a little bag on long haul flights) they are great! Love the video, love that all costcos are exactly the same, in Costco we trust 🙌
Hi Louise, absolutely love Costco, fave buys freshly baked scones, warm up sour dough bread, fresh cream and jam victoria sponge cakes, laundry items especially the unstoppables , so many lovely goodies xxx
I agree with you about the fruit &veg it doesn’t keep over chilled I think. Great vlog.
I've not been to Costco, but you have made me smile/grin and laugh for 15 mins 💗 much love to you 💗

Omg when I tell you I shrieked when you picked up the Broccoli Salad! It is the best! I also don't know what it is about it, but the dressing is so good! For years I used to think my grandma made it herself because she always had it when we went over!
The frozen New York style cheesecake is amazing! And you can defrost it slice by slice, so it lasts ages
Another Mexican Street Corn lover here. This same company also does Acai bowls, which I enjoy on the weekend with peanut butter, a banana and granola. We do buy the yakisoba too but have never done the wok thing before...gonna try that!
Omg it has to be the big carrot cake or red velvet for me love the video hope you’re having fun during half term 💕xx
Friends bought one of those iced sponge cakes for their wedding - best cake I've eaten!! So surprised when they said it was Costco 😍
Liam, I think you definitely need that play thing for the garden. 😉

Brilliant vlog
You got me on to the broccoli salad, love it. Our other staples are mayonnaise, wraps, the part baked French bread. And for a party, the fruit scones with big strawberry jam, and the clotted cream. Will impress all guests
Top costco recommendations are the kirkland clothes washing liquid (such a good price and smells amazing), the sangria and agree on the yakisoba noodles. Also love the yellow fin sole goujons are amazing from the freezer section. To finish needs to be a hotdog and ice cream sundae 😂
THE CRONUTS ARE INCREDIBLE!! X

Loved this! So interesting to see how your options at Costco differ from ours here in western Canada 🇨🇦
Like the clementine at costco , the donut dots can be nice especially if you heat them up slightly .
Completely unrelated to this video but go through weird spells where I rewatch videos from specific years and have recently been watching all your weekly’s when pearl was just born 😭 she’s so grown up now it’s crazy xx
Bloody love Costco! Hiighhhllyyy recommend the "mini" (not mini at all) Victoria sponge cakes that are usually by the big birthday cakes in the chiller... omg the best cake!

I love the kitchen! I know it’s been done for awhile now but it is just so lovely. Would you consider crown molding in the whole room?
Ooh this is my local Costco, love going here!
That broccoli salad is the best salad I’ve ever eaten too 😋😋
Your videos are amazing
I love Costco! I actually get a number of things but my go to is there pre made things like the tacos you showed. Those taco are SO good. I have had them multiple times. They also have some chicken quesadilla’s and that are declicous as well.
I love the big thing of tortellini but the best is Costco shrimp cocktail! It's elite! (also a big fan of a mooch round their book section!)
I’ve never been to Costco but my goodness I need to go there! Stationery, cricut, hot food and big huge washing powder yes please.

I love costco! The costco by me here in Brooklyn, NY is 2 stories with a little escalator for your cart.
Don't know why I watched this when on a healthy eating kick, haha, but I watched it drooling all the same!! Looks so much fun, not been to Cosco in an age!! x
I LOVE the book section, I cannot believe you skipped it😮
Those burritos are unreal that are in the platter section!! 🤤
THIS IS SO COOL HOW DID YOU DO THIS
My fave is the Tokyo chicken (brand) chicken ramen. Soo good x
Costco do these lush sandwich platters that are chicken, cheese, pesto and red onion 👌🏻 they're lovely cold but if you put them under the grill or in a panini press they're just next level xx
Favourites from Costco are sushi and their red velvet cakes the best ever!
I always bulk buy my sanitary pads from costco, its pretty much the only reason i go, aswell as the petrol
You’ve inspired me to do a Costco shop!!! Where did you get your denim dress? I love it!! X
I’ve never had that issue with the fruit, I actually think the opposite! Always wonder what’s in it because it lasts ages 😂🤷🏼♀️
I always get a big jar of crunchy peanut butter and my spices when I go 😊
I wish Ireland had costco now so bad 😂 that fruit would be fab for jam making .
This is such a lovely pov of just spending time with a friend💕 Very thankful for the company!
Absolutely love a Costco trip! this was so fun to watch!! favourites include: frozen bao buns, costco cakes, the big fabric softeners & haribo strawbs!!
Your Cosco has sooo much more than ours. Very impressed.
The Broccoli salad ❤

The absolute best! x
The white chocolate and raspberry muffins are delicious
Agree the broccoli salad is the best! Disagree about the fruit though. Best ever pink lady apples are from Costco and they keep for ages in the fridge. We have also loved the fresh strawberries, blueberries etc.
The cheese sauce is delicious
I love the wonton soups, they only take a few minutes in the microwave and taste really good. The big pot of onken yoghurt is great value, as are the Kirkland packs of water. The squirty cream (think the brand is president) is really tasty. Didn’t like the corn dogs, for the price they weren’t all that nice. Better quality ones at Tesco in the party section. Also wouldn’t recommend the bao buns, they come in a box with like 30 in.
I love Costco!! I would always say the birthday cakes are rank so don’t ever recommend them! But the pizzas are just the best ❤😊
I NEED TO GO TO COSTCO JUST FOR THE PASTRIES ALONE!
Never been to a Costco I need to find someone who goes and have a field day! 😂😂
Buy the cheese an deli meats. They are Awesome 🎉🎉🎉
Never been to Costco in my life! But I feel like I’m missing out 😮
We have Costcos in The States. Buy their chocolate chips cookies. They are Awesome 😊😊😊😊😊
I always ask my work colleague to pick me up the 48 pk of border biscuits when they are on offer.
I would love to qualify for a Costco membership that you can use in-store! This was very interesting! thank you xxx
Tamarind almonds 🤤

Costco Frozen breaded chicken goujons are far superior to any other similar products. They actually taste like chicken.

Not a judgement but do you think that the large pack size of foods contributes to being overweight? For example if I said I ate a whole pag of pretzels that might be 300g I would probably feel guilty for eating it. But with a giant tub of them it would feel like you are eating a lot less, in reality you’ve probably eaten more but you are measuring it against the size of the portion. I’d probably be as big as a house by dipping those pretzels into that giant tub of nacho sauce
What a lot of junk!
