I think I can speak for all Americans that this family has earned the title of Honorary Americans.
They’re more Americans and than the entitled, ungrateful, and spoiled ones who refuse to stand and honor the 🇺🇸 which gave them the opportunities to earn their billions!
Yeah. Yeah. They are more than welcome here. I'd love to meet them. I agree, welcome to your home away from home! Feel like there should be a fancier title than honorary American though... Can't think of one right now. That'll have to do 😂😂
Congrats! Welcome!
Have a donut! 🙈😂
I agree
Why? Because they watch america is awesome videos?
"Costco is a 3-and-a-half hour drive away"
Ah, spoken like a true American day trip lol
Eh it's only a 3½ hrs drive
Yeah but they really didn’t even fill the cart if you’re driving that far you buy everything for the next three months.
@@pjschmid2251 Three months are nothing. Some people shop for the entire six months hahhaha.
10 mins for me
U drive there in the morning do your shopping have some lunch and you're home by dinner. This kind of thing is not that uncommon in America.
The joy on there faces when they found out it’s free refills is priceless 😂

@elmiggoz25. Why are so many foreigners to the US amazed by free drink refills? That's a big deal?
I love watching you folks get a kick out of the things we in America take for granted. Peace and blessings to your family from Tennessee.
right here in Tennessee as well. Born and raised. love this family. God Bless them.
and Particularly Florida....Go Gators!
Hi from the Raleigh area of North Carolina
I know, I’m going to quit complaining about driving 30 minutes to our Costco.
… and from Georgia. 😊
It's so wild to see people be stunned by something that's so normal to me. Glad you guys enjoyed it!
Them amazed at the size of the store. I was thinking that's a average store. Some now are twice that size.
@@TheEWFX29 exactly I was like I feel like that is kind of small xD
you realize the job is to have exciting reactions. no one else in that store looked as excited.
Yeah because American stuff is much more larger in size than stuff in New Zealand. Also there are some stuff at the Costco that you can’t find in New Zealand.
💯 in San Antonio I had two that were both 10 to 20 min from my house.
I love that "sister" was so happy to see Denz get the bear. What loving and kind children.
As an American it humbles me too see how much we have compared to other countries .
As my beloved Mom (R.I.P.) told me so many times: "Count your blessings."
This is quite normal to me, lol. However, It is so refreshing to see reactions from people that are just experiencing this for the first time. I hope you all enjoyed it! 😊
This channel is soooo incredible and wholesome!! I'm a 30yo man but coming from an abusive, unstable family dynamic meant that I never had the chance to experience the love/affection/attentiveness that is demonstrated within these videos. This channel makes me feel things that I never previously got the chance to; filling an emptiness that I didn't imagine could be remedied. Thank you for the content.
That’s really deep
I'm a 50 yo woman, but same
How sweet of you to say, Jared. May you be healed.
There are good people in the world. You just have to find them.
LOVE ❤️ to you Jared.
My brother in law from Germany, cried at a regular grocery store. I can't imagine what his response would have been at Costco.
🥰
In the early-80s we had a family from the USSR move to my town. They would just walk around the grocery store looking at all the fresh fruit (during the winter!) from around the world. They were overwhelmed by all the options and selections but never took it for granted. Kind of opened our eyes to how lucky we were to be born in America.
@@steveclark5206 ❤️👍
@@steveclark5206 I know what you mean - we had an exchange student from Poland at my high school while the wall was in the process of falling down. I forget who his host family was, but they got him quite a few American clothes but you could still see him wearing obviously Soviet era shirts and pants on occasion. He came from a nation where his parents might be able to buy a little Yugo-like car after waiting on a list for over a decade, and now was at a high school where some of the kids from "the richest suburb nearby" (one of four or five suburbs that fed into same high school) were given new cars for their 16th birthday. One jerk got a new Beamer... like an M5.
Meanwhile, our Polish exchange student was very happy to be able to read anything he wanted in the school library, and to be able to express frustration without being paranoid about it. He wasn't worried at all about "getting fancy wheels".
@@steveclark5206 Every American younger than 30 needs this eye opener.
Denz face after “free refills” had me crying laughing 😂
❤ Dad running back with the bear is a cure for a bad day 😊😊
Your trip to Costco shows how much we in America take things for granted. I love love this video. 👍
LOL... 45 minute wait... no we will just drive a couple miles to the next Costco.... Even better, just go online and have them send it over..... and while your at it, order some delivery for dinner... a person living in the 1800's would spend year's just being amazed if they could see what we have become.
Can’t get over how much the kids have grown since I first started watching y’all’s videos
Right?!
I know!!! Was just thinking the same
I am so glad there are families in this world as amazing as yours. You revive my faith in the human race. Thank you for sharing.
What a good-looking and happy family! I first went into a Costco in 1982 (it was then called Price Club) in San Diego. I was impressed just like these good people were in this video. It is a fantastic success story. Costco just built a new store quite close to me where I live in Arizona. I felt sad the young man didn't get his giant Zed Bear, but he seemed to recover pretty quickly. Cheers to you four. WOW Look who got his Zed Bear! What loving parents and what good kids. Great way to end this!
Vote TRUMP in AZ 2024 LET'S GO BABY!!!
Yup. He's got my vote. It will be the third time I have voted for him!@@roudyman777
I remember Price Club in San Diego as well.
He got the bear! Dad showed up with it in the parking lot and it has shown up in subsequent videos at home.
I forgot about price club!! 😂
I worked at a Costco for 18 years. The idea that this is a rare experience for you is sort of strange to me, but I remember how much I loved going there with my mom when I was a kid. The food court experience was always a treat, so I do know how you feel. Be well.❤
@SyzygyNoon would you know why there isn’t a Costco in Chattanooga, Tennessee?
@@jacobpickering3057 I was just a drone, so that wasn’t my call. It’s a wonderful company, so I’m not complaining. They’re always looking for new places to open up, so maybe they’ll get to you eventually. Sorry you don’t have one. The hot dog and soda is pretty darn good. They have a policy that the price will never change on that. And, of course, you can return anything, anytime, no questions asked. (Well, they will ask why you’re returning something, but most people say “I just didn’t want it”, and the return tag actually says “Didn’t want”.)
Edit: Okay, to be a little Data about this situation (or Spok, if you prefer), I’m pretty sure it was “Did not want”. Contractions are a form of slang that doesn’t jive with business terminology.
Costco existed when you were a kid?
Get off my lawn!
I'm 39, live in Ga and never ever have stepped inside a Costco.
@@SykotikShadow You do have to either have a membership, or come in with someone who has one. That being the case, you’re either in or you’re out. They don’t judge you either way.
Fun fact: I’m pretty sure you can still use the pharmacy without a membership.
I love seeing people reacting to Costco sized things for the first time 😂 Denzel next to the giant Costco bear is hilarious
Lol. Totally :)
Costco sized or as we say here in the states, regular regular sized.
czcams.com/channels/sxXyannjPAHeMK_TniJcRg.html
@@DeterminedJellyfish Texas-sized, to some.
I've seen people pranked by someone inside a bear like that. Would have been hilarious!
17:30 I love how innocent New Zealand still is
The dad is dressed like an eight-year-old boy in America in 1957
I’m so happy y’all got him Zed !! His face instantly sent me back to childhood an all the times I wanted to get something but we couldn’t afford it 😂 👍🏼👍🏼
My Vietnamese wife and I have visited her mom in Vietnam since the early ‘90s (when they first allowed Americans to visit) and in 2001 we brought her mom back to visit us in California. We live in an area of SoCal that has the largest population of Vietnamese outside of Vietnam. So when we took her to Costco we had her cover her eyes and a few Vietnamese wondered what was happening. They came with us as a group to see her reaction to her first trip to Costco. When we uncovered her eyes, she looked around and the tears started, then the tears started from the group that followed along started as they saw her reaction.
God Bless your family, Doug...❤️
Lol I live in Buena Park. Just down the street from Westminster lol did you go to the Costco in fountain valley? Lol I work next door to the cost co in fountain valley. Lol. I get lunch there almost every day haha. 😂
So sweet.
There's a channel on here where a Cuban just comes to America (legally) and goes to just a grocery store. He's so emotional he can't speak.
@@tonyaustin2485 we live about 1 1/2 miles from Costco Garden Grove. Back in 1982 I worked at Price Club that is now Home Depot Harbor and MacArthur. When Sol Price (owner of Price Club) wanted to retire he helped Jim Senegal set up Costco then sold Price Club to Costco over the period of 3 years (some gov’t regulation wouldn’t allow him to sell all at once) starting in 1994. All Price Clubs at that time became Price/Costco. Then the Price/Costco at Harbor/MacArthur move to the current Fountain Valley Costco.
To answer your question, yes, this is exactly what it's like in America. Your reactions are priceless. It's so normal to us here that we're numb to it. The shopping carts have to be that size because you end up filling it without even realizing it. And the store thinks that it’s going to manipulate shoppers into putting more in there because you’re at a store where buying in bulk is king, so if you’re already there…you might as well get things that you don’t necessarily need right now, but you might in the future
It also means that when other people were attacking the regular stores like Target for their toilet paper when Covid first was announced (despite Covid NOT giving you diarrhea normally) some of us just kept slowly chipping away at the monster package of TP we got cheap at Costco long before there was a pandemic. By the time I was running low on that package, stores had begun to carry it again (after nearly a year of being out of stock on such a common item, it was completely insane) - and I never had to consider opening my "6-pack reserve package" left under a sink.
Most supermarkets here don't allow you to use small trollies or baskets for this reason q
This family really has fun and learns a lot together! The children are so intelligent, it's amazing! Thanks New Zealand Family!
Your travel scenery is absolutely beautiful!!! ❤
Aww, your children are so respectful and well behaved. 🙏❤
They're Kiwi kids.
@@meatavoreNana Yes, I'm not quite stupid yet.
@@faegrrrl what I mean is, Kiwi kids (usually) are pretty well behaved
It is so heartwarming to see a family have so much fun.
The way that Costco was set up made it feel like a mall lol.
Aww..and I love how you surprised Denzel with the bear! So cute!
As a person who worked for Costco many years ago, two comments. First, it’s amazing to me to see Costco so well duplicated in New Zealand. It’s a carbon copy of my local Costco here in the US. Second, it warms my heart to see your reaction to something I somewhat take for granted.
Damn, I grew up around Costco food, clothes, and doctors. Walked the isles every month for 25 years clinging to the cart with my auntie. Never realized how much I appreciate a company for giving memories and health.
We have a major warehouse chain here in NZ simply just called "The Warehouse" but yeah that Costco store is 4 times the size of those. This was trippy to see. Hell I even lived in the states for a couple of years, never went to a costco but remeber the Walmarts being huge. This was freaky to see though. I hope they open one here in Christchurch. The place looks llike an optical illusion it's so big.
@@gl3nnium here in the states, we have multiple different varieties of these stores. We have Costco, BJ’s Warehouse, and Sam’s Club. There may be others in other parts of the country, but these are the ones I know of.
this is an exact copy of the first store in downtown Seattle layout wise
Same!!
It made me tear up when I realized you bought the bear for Denz. Such a sweet gesture that he will remember for a long time. Reminds me of my Mom and Dad and how they always tried to buy me anything I wanted as a kid.
Okay I was coming to the comments to say "Dude just buy him the bear" having just passed the bit where they told him it had to be put back...I'm very happy to see this LOL
That part hit me hard too. It reminded me of when I was about 3 and my parents did the exact same thing with a stuffed Mickey at Disney World. Told me we couldn’t afford him, but when we got back to the hotel that night, guess who was waiting for me on my bed?
It also made me really want to recreate it some day with my own eventual kids.
Yes!! His poor little face 🥺 I was like I'll buy it for u baby. I was so happy to see the bear finally 😍
I love this family they love our country so much I'm very greatful to watch there videos keep up the great work love you all love from New Mexico USA 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
You folks are absolutely wonderful you remind me of growing up in the 60s when everything new was a Wonder. It's marvellous to see children experience in that same Joy as I did then.
Wow, New Zealand countryside is beautiful! Glad you enjoyed your trip to Costco.
Agreed! The countryside you have there is fantastic!
Best diary in the world and only rivalled by the west island.
Massive stores like this are the very symbol of America to me. When I was in Afghanistan we had a small store that would be flown in (it was essentially a shipping container) for the entire base and it would be open for 2 days out of the month. When I got back to America and stopped at a Walmart I almost cried seeing all the things we could buy at any time we wanted. There's almost no words to describe how incredible an experience this is, I'm so happy for all of you to get that chance!
Most people in the West don't know how well they've got it lol
I know where you are coming from. Shipboard is much the same way, only with better hours. The Ship's Store you see videos of where sailors are walking around are found on aircraft carriers. Ours was a little window that you walked up to and made your choices off of an an 8.5X11 sheet taped to the bulkhead. Being able to specify "Foam" or "Gel" on the Shaving Cream was pretty much the most choice you would get.
After a few weeks out, going to a mini-mart "Chip Aisle" and having a choice that consisted of more than "Potato Chips - Regular/BBQ" was almost an emotional event. It's amazing that you can be thousands of miles from home and it's the small things that really start to matter.
When I was in Iraq the 1-1/2 liter bottles were huge. I got back to the states and the 20oz seemed so tiny 😀
Thank you so very much for your service.
czcams.com/channels/sxXyannjPAHeMK_TniJcRg.html
Watching the footage of the cars driving still gives me a heart-stopping few secs of "get in the right lane! Ur going to get hit!" before remembering, y'all drive on the opposite side there lol. It's such an automatic response that I don't know that I could ever be comfortable driving anywhere that the lanes are reversed 😊
Love it! I’m with ya- get your kids the huge teddy bear and enjoy the fact that they still care anything about teddy bears!
The look on the dad's face when they first walked in says it all. Would love to see his reaction to Lowe's or Home Depot.
Yeah, the family probably wouldn't see him for a good while. My husband works at Lowe's.
@@sandrastorer5628 Their reaction to free refills was pretty funny, too. When I see reactions like that from other people in other countries as well, it just illustrates how lucky we Americans are to live in such an affluent country.
I'd love to watch their reactions to visiting a Cabelas or Bass Pro Shop store . The aquaria , mounted animals , and gun sales sections would blow their minds .
@@victorwaddell6530 man, I'd love to see that too. The he bass pro here is in what used to be the pyramid arena. It has a big catfish pond in the middle of the store, a bowling alley, 2 or 3 restaurants, a lodge themed hotel, a shooting range, just to name a few things. And of course the requisite army's worth of guns and ammo. It's bananas. They're outdoorsy people, so they would be right at home in any bass pro.
@@daniel_sc1024 Europeans think we are crazy for having free refills. I was a bit surprised these guys liked free refills.
At our Costco, we get one refill with our drinks, unless things changed without me knowing.
I LOVED this vlog! We will always remember this as a very special day...the day Denzie and Zed met, locked eyes and began a lifelong friendship! lol Good going Dad!
I love this family. I knew they were gonna give the bear a new home.
czcams.com/channels/sxXyannjPAHeMK_TniJcRg.html
That was absolutely wonderful. I stayed so focused on your every movement, to the point I felt I was actually there, & experiencing it with you. I thank God for all 4 of you. You bring a special blessing to all you share with. I love you all like my own family, & my heart goes wherever you all are. Thank you so much for being a positive family, full of love. Enough to share with this whole world.
This family was so polite to America. Refreshing
The best part of warehouse stores is the free samples in the food section. If you work it right, you can have a full meal for free. My one recommendation is to make a list and set a maximum budget for each trip because it's easy to get off track and end up buying more than you planned - which can be a BIG shock when you get to the register!
Every damn time
As a Costco employee in the USA, this was really enjoyable to watch! It was fun to see the similarities and differences between my workplace and the warehouse you visited :D
P.S. That alarm you heard while eating was just a door alarm. The fire alarm is MUCH louder!
It's a much bigger store than most here in the states
@@paulbegley1464 it looks the same size as my Costcos.
@@bethany8734 Ours don't have any people movers. Ours is a large store but that one looks huge, almost like a mall, maybe yours is bigger but I'm understanding that Costco is trying to build a bigger on in my city.
@@paulbegley1464 agreed, ours in Ontario don't have the people movers either! Lol what an interesting feature to put in a Costco 😂 my kids would just play there all day 🤣
This family is so wholesome and adorable
Sometimes it takes seeing someone's new experience to remind us about what we take for granted.
I never seen a happier family in my life,they love anything and everything.
Truly beautiful to see. It's always good to watch this family channel as a nice pick-me-up.

czcams.com/channels/sxXyannjPAHeMK_TniJcRg.html
That doesn’t say much for America,if you haven’t seen a happier family.
Your children are SO well mannered!!
Don’t let them get Americanized !
@@tcfolstrom599 eh kids are good when their parents are good; American, NZ or otherwise. Clearly based on the channel, they take time to be good parents and thus their kids are smart, well mannered, etc
@jimbook3663 Hi Debbie Downer
Their experience seems very much inline with the typical Costco experience here in California. Membership line isn't anywhere near as long and the crowds in the store are often significantly more crowded, but the video shows the typical merchandise, layout, experience, food, gasoline, etc. And yes, to answer their question, we do indeed have many Costco locations which also sell gasoline. Lines for gasoline are typically incredibly long, but it is an option at most locations. The food is basic fare but decent for the price (as they noted).
I think all of the have gasoline. Where there is a difference is in liquor stores. All have beer and wine in the main store. Some have separate entrance attached liquor stores. And liquor inventory varies - In Georgia the state controls how many stores are allowed to carry Kirkland or store brand booze so not all are the same.
@@gattamom In my area, I believe that they now all have gasoline, but this wasn't always true (maybe it still isn't since I haven't checked them all). But I do know one that didn't have a gasoline station until just recently when an adjoining store left the area and Costco bought it out and put up their gas station in its place.
So happy for Aukland and the rest of NZ. Costco is going to provide hundreds of jobs to your communities!
As a Costco employee this was so funny to watch 😂
Everything inside me was hoping you guys would surprise Denzel with Zed before the video was over! I mean it would've been fine if you didn't because disappointment is part of life. But he was such a trooper about it. He was sad of course, but he bounced back and tried to move on and enjoy his time with his family. I was happy to see his resiliency rewarded ❤️
czcams.com/channels/sxXyannjPAHeMK_TniJcRg.html
I was contemplating a fund me campaign for the boy.
@@1SCme same!!!!! I feel like Denzel gets the least and it makes me sad.
Yeah, he doesn't really have his "thing" like Atlanta has her cooking, so I love when people send him thoughtful gifts. And i loved when him and his dad did the guys only video. Would love to see more like that.
I just knew by the end they would end up getting the bear.
Congrats to Zed on finding a wonderful new home and family.
Me and my girl both thought you were the type of parents to pull the surprise with the bear. So cool. You should be proud of the parents you are. The kids seem very respectful and it shows been through a screen
Denzie is definitely the comic genius of the family, his facial expressions kill me 🤣🤣
@@timothygil1 So that means he's not allowed to be disappointed?
@@timothygil1 I thought the situation was handled perfectly by all. His parents told him no-- it happens. They were understanding of his disappointment but they didn't coddle him, because such is life. He was disappointed like any normal kid would be. But then he actually did a GREAT job moving on and having a good time despite not getting what he wanted. He was such a trooper that I was REALLY hoping they would surprise him with the bear. And i don't care how many strangers send you things in the mail, nothing on earth compares to getting the thing you want most from the people who love you most. And the fact that you watch this channel and even think of it in terms of how much stuff the kids are getting and how much they "deserve or need" says more about you than them. And i hope that if the family sees your comment they know that you're alone in thinking that way and we love seeing them open their packages from around the globe.
@@timothygil1 Lighten up bro!
those travel drone shots were INCREDIBLE!!!!!! im blown away by how beautiful your country is!!! absolutely gorgeous!!
Only a few minutes in to watching this and I have to pause to express my delight over your son's thought and execution of comedy with the stuffed bear. Reflexes...LOL
Watching your reactions makes me smile. Thank you for creating and sharing.
The $1.50 Hotdog and Soda combo is a big Costco thing. It's been that price for a long time and they make sure to not raise it. They take a loss on the transaction, but it brings a lot of people into the store. I'm pretty lucky that the closest Costco is less than a 10 minute drive for me.
They aren't really losing any money on them. The bun cost about $.10, the hot dog is about $.20 and the soda is about $.06 for a total of about $.36 per meal
Edit: in NZ they are most likely losing money if the same price but not in the US. When they say they are losing money is that they could charge $5 for the same meal and hungry people would still eat it.
@@rodiona8781 They lose money on it; it's called a loss leader. Your estimates would cover the paper costs; as in the cups, straws, tinfoil wrap, etc. It broke even when introduced 3 decades ago, of course they lose now. To keep the losses down, more recently they've had to build their own hotdog factories so there's no manufacturer to pay.
@@GreggGordon consider how much it costs you to buy a pack of hotdogs, buns and a 2 liter soda. I'd estimate around $6.00 and compare that to how much it costs them to buy the same and replace the 2-liter with soda syrup. I promise you there are true loss leaders like the free samples but the hotdogs at Costco are not it.
@@rodiona8781 $.20 per hotdog? It's a 1/4 lb hotdog, so then its $.80 per lb? Just as @Gregg Gordon said, they've been losing on the hotdog for some time. They also lose on the Rotisserie chicken.
@@dustinhenry5213 I do pricing for a living. Hot dog meat is meat that can't be sold unless undergoes a specific process to make it edible again - yes $0.20 per Costco hotdog. Maybe $.30 now. They make about $0.80 on each hotdog/soda combo sold.
Ask your local butcher and baker how much it costs for them to make their own hotdogs and buns. Every time you buy a $2 fountain soda - remind yourself it cost them only $0.10.
I just can't get enough of you guys! You are so fun, upbeat, positive and so much fun! I'm truly thankful for having found you guys here when I did! I eagerly look forward to each new post and just love how close you all are, how great your kids are; and I really appreciate how much respect you guys show toward the US as a whole, and our military in particular. God Bless, and thanks for bringing such joy to my day!!
I agree. My life isn't so great, frankly. But I get a smile from these videos. Plus it's fun to see people experience things that I've grown up with. "American stuff".
We call Costco "the Happiest Place on Earth". Costco hotdogs are the bomb. I'm a little jealous that you had an arcade game in your Costco and I'm glad you gave Zed a great home!
I'm so happy for Denzel. He got his bear.🐻
Welcome to the world of American excess! Lol. Costco is the best place to stock up on toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, kitty litter, detergent…all the household staples. It’s such a nice addition to regular stores.
So wholesome to see your reaction faces.
That's cool. Get your first little taste of America. Your family is going to flip out when you finally visit America if they liked your little day trip. Great video. You guys ROCK as a family channel!
Jesus. Wait until they hit the Mall of America. lol. They'll lose their minds.
@@michaeldobson107 I’ve lived in a big city my entire life and even I was terrified navigating that damned mall! 😅
Oh Bless your hearts.. your country is Beautiful these are just normal to us glad your experiencing it.
the moment with the bear is the most wholesome thing ever, I love that he got him afterall
New Zealand is beautiful....wow! I love how your family is appreciative of so many things. We Americans can be spoiled and take things for granted. Hope you are enjoying your trip to the US.
Thank you for the travel montage across your part of New Zealand. It’s gorgeous.
it would have been hilarious if they just inserted clips from lord of the rings when they were travelling
@@SubieNinja Technically, them driving through the New Zealand wilderness in the video is inserting clips from lord of the rings.
czcams.com/channels/sxXyannjPAHeMK_TniJcRg.html
Resembles the southeast. Like Georgia or Kentucky.
For me it wasn't so much the trip or their reaction to Costco but the family time and a moment that they all shard together as a family.
I have to say, it’s so wonderful to see a nice close knit family that does everything together and you can see the love you have for each other. God bless all of you.
It's really nice to see such a beautiful family enjoy each other's company.
So happy for Denzel. He'll never forget that surprise.
I am so glad Denzel got the bear. He fell in love with it❤️
What a feel-good video! To see you run out with that bear and the look of your sons face… you guys get it… This is what it’s all about! Made my day! I hope one day you get to visit Massachusetts!
Best part of your video is the opening drive there. What a beautiful country side there. Do more of those scenes. Wonderful.
this family is so wholesome. my heart about broke when the dad said no to Zed Bear, and then they got him! ❤
We have Costcos everywhere in the U.S but also other warehouse stores similar to Costco like Sams Club, BJs etc. I feel like we go so often that I don’t even think about the size and variety of different goods offered, but could totally see how it would seem huge in comparison to other stores. It’s definitely an addictive place to go.
Costco is way better those places I been to all three. And they pay a living wage not sure on other two since wallmart only pays 14 here start haha😅
We don’t think about the size anymore i think because we just expect it and have becomes desensitized.
Your chips is the British name for that food the American name is French fries. I'm also amazed at the fact that you shared the hot dog without cutting it into pieces. When my sister and I were that age and probably even now I would've not taken a bite of a hot dog my sister had eaten.
Realize this is a year old video, but it reminded me of friends that live in Napier. They spent some time in the US, which is when I knew them. They said Halloween isn't a big deal in New Zealand and were amazed at how much Americans got into it. That being said, they went all-in. Makeup, costumes, decorations, etc. for the time I knew them here. Kia ora, mate.
As someone from a family of six on a day when it’s just family, with TWO grown boys, Costco pizza has saved my mom thousands of dollars. We’ll get four pizzas and be set for the weekend. I’m happy you guys loved Costco so much 💛💛💛

I actually prefer the Sam's Club pizza over Costco. Both just as cheap but the Costco one by me tastes like they use cheddar rather than mozzarella.
American food is so huge lol.
@@rayanchenafa8346 haha Yeah fortunately or unfortunately food portions on average in the U.S. is larger. Like I never get refills cuz the small is enough soda for me. lol
My kids have the same bear. Ours is named Alfred and is also a member of our family lol love this so much!!!
New Zealand is absolutely beautiful! What gorgeous scenery.

I lived overseas for 5 years and have vacationed in 42 countries - New Zealand is the 2nd prettiest I visited, only behind Norway.
I love love love that Zed Bear made it home. I absolutely had to buy myself a Zed Bear too when i saw them. He was my couch buddy for a whole year. Worth every penny. 🥰🧸
The surrounding country is breathtaking ❤😅!! This family is so precious 💕 💕!! I've known Costco for the majority of my life and it's sweet to see this family reacting to it 😄
That was so much fun. I am so glad that Zed Bear found his forever home. Denzie deserves it!!
The look on his face was great! I'm 46 and I'd love a big teddy bear like that!
This just makes me realize how much Americans take for granted. Y'all are the best!
The landscape in NZ is so beautiful!
As an American it's kinda funny seeing other people's first reactions to Costco. We have a Costco just outside of another town about 20 minutes from our place. Definitely an incredible shopping experience for sure. You guys looked like you had fun 🤗👍
Its not an incredible shopping experience. It is an exercise is mass stupidity.
@@notedrockhistorian4382 What are you even talking about
@@load7791 It may seem like a positive experience at first. I worked for Costco for over 30 years. What I am talking about is the stupid behavior you are going to be engaging in if you develop a "relationship" with Costco. You have to remember this model came from America and Americans are idiots. So this model will have you drive to a huge parking lot. Spend 30-45 minutes looking for a parking spot. (BTW, NZ is not there yet, but after a few years, you will see the negative effect.) The store they were in was virtually empty by US standards. Spend another 30 minutes walking to the entrance of the store. Now, what are you here to buy? Where is your list? Do you need that amount of mayo or are you going to throw half of it out. Also, how long are you going to wander around the store? Is your time worth something? Wait in line 20 minutes to check out. Wait in line to get out of the building. What do you think is going to happen to that stuffed animal after a year? Are you confusing a retail store for Disneyland? Does any of this sound like normal behavior?

@@notedrockhistorian4382 Oh, yeah, "Americans are idiots", we only invented and or helped invent many of the things you use today. Also if you go shopping and don't make a list, or prioritize, and therefore wander around aimlessly, impulse buying, that's on you.
So, Costco's food court is famous for an item that I didn't see on your store's screen, but they might sell them in the freezer section. It's called a "Chicken Bake", and it's basically one of the best things ever. The brand here is called "Kirkland", it's basically their store-brand label. Glad you guys had fun!
We go to the Costco in Livonia, MI and they stopped selling the frozen chicken bakes!!! I don’t know why but we haven’t seen them for a few months now.😭😡
@@cflournoy1529 They're still selling them over in Ann Arbor.
@@saureco Oh wow!! We may have make that drive!! Thanks!
Chicken bake is the bomb the only reason to go to costco!!
I miss the carne asada bake.
What a wonderful family!! What well behaved children! And wow, what a beautiful country !
I gotta say, I'm so happy Zed Bear got to come home with you guys , I was so sad when I heard the no for him. I love seeing you guys experience American Stores and Food. I always say this is why we have an obesity problem here in the States. Also, Our bulk stores like Costco, Sams Club and BJ's do have gas prices and most everyone I know who shops at the bulk stores like this, they LOVE Filling up while grocery shopping.
You are an AWESOME dad for getting Zed bear for little Denzel. I could see how happy that made him. And you pulled the surprise off like a true American dad would!
My wife and I just joined Costco here in America a couple of weeks ago and had our first time there-and we were just as blown away as you guys! What I love is that the Kirkland brand is legitimately good quality product, even with how cheap it is.
Kirkland thick cut bacon is AWESOME 😋
@@Phoenix85006 my wife gets that bacon, baked it, and it’s the best damn bacon you’ll ever taste!
As a Portland born guy. I approve of the trailblazers merch. Been watching you guys for years. God bless.
What a sweet family! 🇨🇦❤NZ!
We take so much for granted here in the US and it's nice to be reminded of that from time to time. So excited about free refills breaks my heart. That looked pretty much like an American store even the gas station. Enjoyed that!
The New Zealand countryside was breathtaking! Yes, we are very lucky to be in America - for those that don't know - America is always first to step up and provide aid to many, many countries. Going to Costco is an event for us, too - we always have two shopping carts and load up for several months of meals. They have some wild varieties and world-wide food and the hot dogs are the best !
You always time your visits to coincide with the free taste tests, though. Then we can walk around "testing" all the food.
The pizzas are really good, too!
I cant not love how mind blow everyone is by our everyday access.
You just melted my heart giving Denz a Zed bear! ❤❤❤❤
Funny thing is that in the USA, Costco is just ONE of our warehouse club stores. There’s also Sams Club (Walmart owned), and BJs. Can’t wait to see you all in America, experiencing the things we have forgotten are amazing. Have fun!
We had Costco in Washington state, and Sams Club here in northwest Arkansas (Walmart headquarters), but I haven't heard of BJs before. East coast chain?
@@sandrastorer5628 I don't know where BJs started but they just opened one in metro Detroit.
@@sandrastorer5628 When I lived in south florida, we preferred going to Costco but BJ’s was 75% closer to us. Since moving to CA, I havent seen any BJ’s.
BJ’s is definitely east coast then cuz I’ve never seen Sams club outside of west coast.
@@Macdelaven they opened a BJ in Metro Detroit? Where in Metro Detroit
😀 Ohhh you all turned into kids at Costco! They are so enormous. The low prices for the hot dog, pizza , drinks make it easy for everyone to get a bite to eat when they go even if they don’t have much money.
I was sad when Denzel was sad that he couldn’t get the bear. That was a wonderful surprise when Sam came running out with Ned.
You are a really fun, wonderful family, I love all of you so much 🥰
I was going to give a RHEEE because he just left the bear sitting there and not putting it back on the shelf.
Of course you're paying to go there too.
Just to let you know, it's Zed bear 🙃
I freaking love you guys, such a wholesome family reaction to a store we take for granted. PLEASE let us know you US visit details
Sam running in the parking lot with Zed Bear gave me a good chuckle!
I love seeing people react to something that's an everyday thing here, love the reactions
