Thanks for sharing your tips on picking up meat! Never thought to get parchment paper, I'm old school and always use foil. Gotta get that on my next trip.

Great trick,clean hands

Hi beautiful people, I'm so excited to tell you my Daughter starts work at Costco today. You so remind me of Heather, she adores Costco so can you imagine?🤗💕🙏i should have said Calgary

0.0 a fridge in the car?? mind blown

You will eat bacon but not spam? Me too. They both probably have similar chemicals. I just closed my Costco account. 1. I bought too much junk food. Hard to resist temptations. 2. Bought more than I needed. 3. Had to strategically plan because of usual heavy traffic and inconvenient location. 4. Too many people (me included) succumbing to too many material goods. We just don’t need as much as we think we do. And I’m trying to declutter and get rid of stuff, not get more. 5. Takes too much time and energy, both to get there and back, and once inside. I’d rather be out on my bicycle or on the deck enjoying the sunshine.

NO SPAM!!!! Aiya!!!!!

I always, always dig to the back or bottom of the pile to get the freshest whatever!

You two are awesome, i just found your channel and am very excited to watch all your videos.

Lol! Oh no...please don’t put back the SPAM! We only have 1 Costco on this island, so I absolutely dread going. My husband is the designated Costco shopper.

This was so funny. I enjoy your cooking videos too. I got an Instant Pot for Christmas, and I've been binge watching. Thanks so much!

Thank you love the video !! It’s so true !!!

When I spend $300 at Costco my cart and trunk are a lot fuller than that. But Houston Texas is a lot cheaper than Vancouver.

Love the music! I was born in 70 and was an 80's teen... Gen x! Best music ever

if you're looking for an air fryer then get the Philips it's bigger and better. Can cook frozen nuggets in 8 minutes.

Nice combo.... Depeche mode and Costco!

Love the Erasure songs in the car!!

price match is a good tip in your video! keep your receipts within the last 30 days and Costco will match the price !

Up to this moment I had the highest respect for you Flo. Making the dude put back the Spam is inexcusable!😉

Do you have to pay for Parking to shop at that Costco?

nice, a fridge in car? carry a fridge all the time? oh. not very green.

When I saw you use the plastic bag for the meats, I said out loud, "That's what I do!" My dog did not react to my comment but I like to think that he understood the reasoning. For YEARS, my family has made fun of my aversion to touching meat packages and even sent me picks of them bare-handing packed chicken. EEEW! Loved watching Dude glide effortlessly on the cart, seeing the gorgeous views out the car windows, and gasped a little at seeing the total at the end. WOW!

That is such a sharp vehicle!! We have the same dometic in the back of our suburban. Love the built in with the slide out. Does that jacket add much insulation value? We made the mistake of leaving ours on freeze overnight and pugged in...needless to say that even with the battery protection set at medium it drained the battery down too far to start the burb. We had to get a jump from a friendly neighbor. Love the dometic, we just pushed it too far. Just bought a 10 lb bag of ice and did not want it to melt. You know how it is with ice...never have it when you need it. Ha!!! Love your videos, keep em coming!!! Be safe and be happy!!!

Why do you throw mayonnaise away? In the fridge, it keeps forever. Another comment, since packaging of oils, including mayonnaise, in plastic, you must keep unopened mayonnaise in the fridge. There is enough porosity in the plastic for it to become rancid before it is opened (at least the way I shop sales).

May I know how often you guys go to Costco?

It sounds like you all spend as much as we do down here in the lower 48 states on stuff like groceries.

I mean you have a different selection of items than we do as well.. Meyer lemons? never have I seen those at our Costco here in Chicago. It's interesting the product differences from Costco to Costco.. and yes, I'm that nut that visits Costco in very city/country that I've been to where there is a Costco. I actually ran out of time to visit the one in Vancouver, tho I have been to the ones in Toronto, SF, LA, Tokyo, London, Seoul, Montreal, NY, Florida, and maybe 10 other US states. And while there are many same products, there are also a ton of dif items... Love your vlog!

Oh I see! That’s interesting since the Meyers we get at from Florida or California. But we have different product from store to store. The one I go to is a smaller store and has less products in general compared to the other locations nearby and it barely has any Asian products but the others seem to have a lot!

I wish I had a Costco close to me but none in the area just a Sams Club about 40 minutes away. I like the produce at these places and that is what I buy mostly. What is that cooler you have in the back of the Jeep? I am looking for something that will keep stuff cold while traveling and need the larger one like yours. Also like that slider tray you have it on.

I wish I could say Costco is really that good a deal but in most cases I have found it is not. The plus; they do take care of their employees better. Sam's in my book is better but they don't take care of their own. I would never buy an appliance from any of the two mentioned. Better deal online if you take the time to research.

We don’t have Sam’s here. I also don’t buy everything at Costco and the things I do buy are better priced than other stores I shop at. Always know your prices. That’s the only way you’ll save money.

Why you shop at costco if it is a trap yo are not genion

Im sorry I just felt too much of plastic bags wasting when you use for holding meat.

Too much whining. Complain with proper price comparison - not blah blah blah

Why did I waste my time watching this? For some reason, I thought something interesting was going to happen. I hate when people don’t return carts.
