    Something with corn dogs lately! I was at the store and because of the forklift stocking a bulk area, I had to walk near a freezer I have never seen before at this store. Corndogs, meatballs, I guess it was a frozen meat freezer. I felt compelled to buy a box of corndogs. We haven’t had those in several years, but I couldn’t walk by. Nostalgia set in, had to have them. We had them and broccoli for dinner. Watching utube another creator also bought some, first time I’d ever seen her buy something like that. Now you. My box was the big one. On sale, better deal than the small one. I made half. I had 2 he had three. Then he had three for the next days lunch. We have one more round of that meal in the freezer. I will probably not buy them again for another 2-4 years! Odd. 3 separate people in totally different areas of the country at different stages in life all bought the unusual all in like a weeks time. She has a spouse and teens, you have a spouse and littles, I just have a spouse. She Midwest, you out west, me northeast. Ha! Makes ya wonder…

    I am in desperate need of a Costco trip myself. I may need to pick up some of those Chicken Patties when I go because the Chicken Parm Sandwiches you made looked delicious and would make a great lunch for my girls during Spring Break!

    When I had my family home and when I was growing up paper towels and Tissues were something we never bought it's just as easy to use a roll of tp to blow your nose just keep some around in other area's, paper towels can just be replaced with clean rags and dish towels there are even rags available that work well on glass, they're the blue or green ones you see hospital's use they are perfect for that and fabric napkins used at dinner time they don't have to be washed every time with a family that's the same size as yours, I never even bought baggies I used old bread bag's or grocery bag's to wrap our meat up with, I did buy alum foil but usrally only a small roll for baking meats I wanted to be tender. It it's all just a extra cost and the rags and napkins that would be used aren't even a 1/2 a load at the end of a month. With prices the way they have been I've been doing again… What's paid for those items is another package of meat maybe 2 so they're not worth it.

    I see that you caved into the call of the Girl Scout Thin Mints 😂. My daughter did too! I saw that bag on our counter and thought “Danger!! ignore!! Walk AWAY from the thin mints!” lol!
    My son-on-law was coerced by cuteness to put in quite a large pre-order for GS cookies and I managed to be gone during the time of arrival and consumption 😅/ dodged both bullets so far!
    I hear they are very good!! ❤
    Just being silly… hope you enjoy!!

    I went to costco last weekend with my daughter and shopped away. Once I got to the register the spell broke and I was like OMG, i have a cart full. I told the cashier my guess is $500, my daughter guessed $400, the cashier was impressed he was like you were only off by $7. Yes my friend I spent $492 in one trip. I have to limit my Costco runs because its so easy to bust my budget. Thanks for sharing, I love your videos❤❤❤

    Carolina, put your sour cream upside down in fridge. It is like cottage cheese and it likes making it it likes vacuum sealed bags. I’ve had it last 3 months after expired. 💙💙💙

    I make those chicken parm sandwiches too. I love those. For the extinguisher I would have one near the bedrooms which tend to be down a hall and that tends to cut you off from getting to another extinguisher. You got a good stock up there.

    I need to pick up some TP. I have 2 6-paacks left from 3 big packs (30 rolls, 5 6-packs each) of Kirkland brand that I bought during the pandemic. It's just me but I don't like to run too low. I also need to puck up some vitamins and owing relievers. And I never leave without a rotisserie chicken.

    Not sure if this is click bait or not but WHAT cost of living crisis? If you use coupons and shop smart, groceries are not expensive — I'd say the only thing that's a little high is steak, but that's the farmers and grocery stores pricing that up. Gas prices are normal 3.15-3.40 in most areas. I think people were used to getting free money during Covid so now they are not able to spend like crazy with the "free" money. There is no crisis … unemployment is super low, but people don't want to work, I guess?
