It's so interesting seeing the boys different tastes and preferences. How clever of Everette to save his money!
I love to watch all the boys shop. Its so interesting to see each of their individual likes.
Hi all, I would love to see your ham and pasta recipe. Thank you for your videos they bring me so much joy. You have a wonderful young family and you are fabulous.
I will be sure to include the pasta recipe in Weston's birthday video!
The boys were so nice to thank Vanessa
Thankyou Hunter, Bennett, Weston and Everett for sharing your mini Costco haul of treats, my Dad and l enjoyed seeing everything you got and it brought him so much happiness. God bless you 🙏
Good evening Lauren and Mark and family and thank you for sharing your beautiful day 🌞
Everett gets excited about everything he sounds happy boy
He’s a sweet boy!
It was fun to see what the boys got with their money from Vanessa. I must admit,I thought it would be alot of candy.
The moose sliders looked delicious. ❤️❤️
So fun for the boys to pick out their own treats with the money they were gifted 😍
They have enjoyed the special treats!
It was fun to see and the boys vlogging in the doctors parking lot Wednesday, it's a small world ! Blessings
Hi! Say hello next time, we would love to say hello back. Crazy week of getting ready for back to school!
The sliders look so yum🤤🤤🤤. Love how the boys picked up their own haul from Costco. Sending love to you and your beautiful fam🥰🤗
If you are reading this Vanessa, you are too generous! What a fun thing to do for the boys. So sweet and thoughtful!
Awe Vanessa that was so very sweet of you! You made them so happy :)
Thankyou, my elderly Father enjoyed watching what the boys chose and it definitely put alot of happy in our day. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
The boys did great on their treats! They also got lots of samples! It's so great that they love to read , awesome choice of books!
Weston’s haul is right up my alley! Great idea for the treats for the kids!
AWESOME ADORABLE!!!!😇😀😃😁
Such a fun video! Your boys are so well behaved and so polite, I'm sure they had a blast at Costco with all the samples!! When Hunter came in at the end with Luna, holy moly has he grown, he sure did some growing this summer, he's so tall!
Your sliders looked really yummy, I'll have to give them a try!!!
Thank you, Lauren for taking the time out of your busy lives to put it to video for us! Your a very amazing family!!! 🌼
Yes, they have all grown so much. Hunter really is becoming a teenager. Thanks for your love and support! Much love from Alaska.
What a treat for the boys and us the we came allong, thank you Lauren. In Europe is a heatwave and no Rain.. lots of fires so the prises wil get higher..be kind and do wat you can and love live. ❣
I hope you can get some rain soon. We had so much sun and now we have had non-stop rain. Thanks for watching!!
I absolutely love hi-chew , watching the kids with their items Priceless!! Y’all take care and lots of love from the lowest state Mississippi!!
Hi Chews are sooo good, I agree! Thanks for watching!
i love your family vlogs! My favorite videos are all your cooking videos and family meal videos! So Cool! Love Love Love your channel!
Thank you so much! More cooking videos coming in the winter. Too many things going on in the summer. Thanks for the feedback. I’m looking forward to a slower pace and meal time.
Lauren, Stellar shopping zen! Cucumbers in NJ have been 2 for $3 for over a year! Best Buy! for you. Sugar: you bought so much; an extra step, but Vita-mix, blender or food processor will make powdered sugar. Small savings but it all adds up and teaches the boys the depth of where foods come from. Happy continuing summer, gardening and adventures. XO
Wow. You survived another Costco run!
The pecorino Romano cheese freezes beautifully whole /in chunks or grated.
Just use a ziploc bag. You can save some for later, since typically you wouldn’t use all that in one recipe. 😊
watermelon was about $6 but then again many kids have a summer job around here picking them in Grapeland, TX nearby
Please tell Westin that Starburst originally were called Opal fruits and they come from / first made in England ... they have changed the name to Starburst now.
Yep english opal fruits made to make your mouth water!lol🇬🇧🌻🇬🇧
I love the spring mix salad mix!! The prices for food is crazy 😜 So getting that tomato paste!! Hope our Costco has it.
Your children are so lovely! A credit to you and Mark❤️
I loved the boys haul. So different taste between them. Westen’s Pho was awesome. Hunter’s chocolate coconut almonds made me glad I don’t have a Costco membership lol my diet would suffer. Bennett’s hammock will come in handy for sure. And High five Everett for being a little savor! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, their personalities come out when they spend money. I love watching them try to make decisions. The almonds are hard for me too but thankfully he put them somewhere and I haven't seen them since. Probably should keep it that way!
We have those reclining chairs..love them.
They seem really nice!
Hello from New Zealand! I’m just loving your channel Lauren.
Your boys have such beautiful manners, they are a credit to you xx
Thank you so much! They are all over the place but we are doing our best to teach them to have manners.
2nd comment lol the tomato paste is $2.99 herex4=$11.96. You basically got it half price. I love it in the tube too. If not I either freeze the rest or forget I have it & sometimes waste it. I kept calling that brand Cento (I pronounced it Cent to..apparently it's Chen-toe) who knew ? Look up Low Carb Ham Salad and Keto Ham & Broccoli since I'm pretty sure you have ingredients for both. Just an idea to maybe make something you may like & kid friendly!! I saw sheet pan sliders w the onions on bottom. But if kids don't like them no biggie just serve without cutting all the way down! I love how you teach the boys politeness and how grateful they are TY Vanessa! Also it's great how you teach then the proper pronunciation of each thing. I can't tell you how many YT & Tiktoks say Mozzarella w the zzz sound & Salmon w the L as Sall mun. It's annoying and embarrassing! Anyways I saw the onions cut up 1st. Then the meat. Then cheese.
Great Video! I have never tried slider's made that way. Thank you for a great tip on making them. Your boy's all have different taste. It was great to see what they picked out with their money. Thank you again! ❤️🥰👍
Well that was sweet! Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Hi from Australia, love your Costco videos. Our nearest Costco is 3.5 hours away so a bit far. So many fantastic items you show. Hope you are all well, much love to you and your beautiful family. ♥️♥️♥️
☹️
Hi Lauren This Alaska Life! I enjoyed watching the Big Costco shopping Video! I love Pokey Stick to, they're delicious! All the food looks good to eat! Lauren, you did a terrific job in making the sliders sandwiches! Great video!
Thanks Bernice. So glad you enjoyed coming along for all the Costco and cooking fun. Have a wonderful week!
Thank you very much, Lauren!
@@ThisAlaskaLife You're welcome,Lauren and the same to you!
I take the Hawaiian buns and use ham lunchmeat, american cheese and mustard and put them in the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes or until the cheese melts and we have tomato soup with them. I forgot that we put a little margarine on the top before we put them in the oven. Makes a great lunch or supper.
Thanks for the tips! We will have to try that! Thank you so much for watching!
Loved seeing the boys pick out their prizes from the money Vanessa sent . They all have such different tastes ! Moose burgers looked really good . Enjoyed the video !
THE WAND IS AWESOME!!
You got some good helper today.
So much help!
@@ThisAlaskaLife i am glad you got help
I'm a librarian (university) and I am so happy to see parents like you encouraging their kids to read :)
I have a Costco , but it is a good way from where live. I am thinking of joining them. Your kids are understand for they age. I enjoyed your shopping video.
Great haul happy birthday Weston hope you have a good day
Thanks so much
Happy birthday Weston💕🎉🎈🎂
Here in my part of Texas watermelon are 2.97 and blackberry are 1.97 and milk by gallon 2.67. So still higher than a few weeks ago. Great video.
That same ice cream truck is $59.99 @ Target lol. We always buy frozen blueberries bc they're cheaper and you get literally double if not more that reg ones. Also the wild varieties are bigger. Great for smoothies etc...I literally just went thru my fruit and froze bananas. I take the Strawberries out of their containers and wash w vinegar and water. It kills mold spores..then line a airtight container w a paper or thin kitchen towel..add berries. Remember to pat dry and add another towel on top and then lid. They'll last for wks like this. Any that get soft or nt eaten get frozen....also use a straw metal pref to get tops of berries off and you get more berry..use the tops in your smoothies..no waste. Avocados I buy but will dice up and freeze if needed and add to smoothies. Ramen for $0.20 was a bargain! The chicken sausage is $5.92 for 12 oz. So you actually got 48 oz for that great price. Walmart you'd need 4 so $23.68 plus tax( we have no tax) buy I'd say you got a deal @$11.69..they have no nitrate/nidrides..no msg..chicken raised without added hormones..& gluten free if you need that..Basically you could get double so 6bs for the price we'd pay for 3lbs. Whoo hoo!!. I'd get more for next trip lol..I love how you shop!
Great video!
the Clorox toilet wands w/refills are great-yuk on plant based patties... the kids are Darling!
The boys would have had such fun spending their Money. Everett is going to be a good money manager, a good thing to be these days.
Love the back to school bundle with Sharpies. Wow! I would have to grow my own watermelon if I lived there, and berries too!! The kids did awesome today. I know you are so proud of them. Thank you for the great videos. Look forward to them always. Stay safe!! Love your Family!! ❤ ❤ ❤
Happy birthday to weston
I live in Holland and bought a baby watermeloen the other day for €2,49"
Please send some of your rain to Texas -- we haven't had rain since June 3!!
The toilet wand is a HUGE waste of money! As soon as the scrubbern pads get wet they fall off the wand before you even scrub the toilet. I threw away a box that had 2 scrubber pads missing because I couldnt find anyone I knew that wanted it.
I bought a seedless watermelon yesterday $9.97
7 lbs powdered sugar is $8.99 here (Members Mark brand is all we are offered)
50 lb bag of sugar is $37.40 per bag (we have to order it and have it shipped to us~ not available in store)
2 gallons of 2% milk $8.66
2 English Cucumbers are $6.97
It was nice to see all the different things the boys bought with their money. I found it interesting that the youngest is the one who is saving their money.
Thank you for the tag along today it was different watching you shop with all your boys.
Much Love from Missouri
God Bless
Thanks for the heads up about the toilet wand. Everett has become a saver recently. He will ask for something and then I say " sure, let's use some of your birthday money" and he quickly loses interest. I'm ok with that!
Your boys are so respectable and kind.Love your grocery haul and the sliders.Looks so yummy!
Great job
Thanks for watching!
I really love seeing your cat in most of your videos
Thanks! I always try to remember to show her. We sure love our Luna!
Hello Hamm Family. A good day to you all. It's an overcast day here in Virginia at 77°F. We've been having lots of afternoon thunderstorms lately, but today is supposed to be rain-free. My favorite rainy days are spent sipping tea, iced or hot, curled up in my chair with a good book or movie, or taking a nap.
Vanessa from AUS is awesome. Your boys are spoiled, but in a very, very good way.
Here's a little cost rundown from our local grocery store:
Watermelon, seedless, $6.88 ea
Gold Kiwi $8.98 for 2lbs
Green Kiwi $4.48 for 2lbs
Pineapple $2.08 ea
Strawberries $5.12 for 2lbs
Raspberries $5.88 for 12oz
Blueberries $6.88 for 24oz
Avocados 92¢ ea
English Cucumbers $1.58 ea
Regular Cucumbers 64¢ ea
I love the tubes of Tomato Paste to. It's so convenient. If you have by the cans, scoop into an ice tray, ~1-2Tbs per section depending on the size of the tray. Freeze, then place in a freezer bag and keep in freezer. Take out what you need per recipe.
I don't eat moose, but they do look yummy. I'll have to try it with ground turkey. Have you ever had Salted Potatoes w. Butter & Chives as a side for any of your meat dishes?
• 2lbs small Potatoes, red, gold, purple or a mix thereof
• 1 cup of Coarse Kosher Salt
• 1 stick of Butter
• 1 pkg of Chives or Green Onion, chopped
Put enough water in pot to cover potatoes by 1 inch. Add salt and stir. Add potatoes. Bring to a boil, then cook for 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Drain. Do not rinse potatoes. Let potatoes sit in strainer for about 5 minutes. Place pot back on stove and add butter and chives/green onion. When butter is melted return potatoes to pot. Mix thoroughly and Enjoy 😋
Have a Blessed Day and Weekend 😍
My friends had to let their dog down and her name is Luna and I think to tell you that each time I see her cause their Luna liked to be investigate as well. Bless your family, thanks for sharing¡
I am so sorry for your friends, that is really hard. Thanks for watching and prayers for your friends.
Always enjoy your Costco hauls. It was fun with all the boys shopping.
Hi Lauren and family.Glad to see you all.Love going shopping with you.
Was at the Costco in Fairbanks and man was it a expensive trip, almost $500.00 !
Hard to get out for less than $500 these days!
You are such a sweetheart Lauren. Your boys are all Adorable and for the watermelon 🍉 at your Costco is very high as our Costco the watermelon can run 4.00 each for a large one. I surely love watching your videos of all your love in your homestead. May God bless you all.
Something supposed to land in your box tomorrow! 📦
Did you send the birthday card??
@@ThisAlaskaLife nope a box of goodies!
You really do have the most grateful boys, hope your well Lauren, looks like you had a poorly eye. Massive happy birthday to Weston for sunday, he looks like he's had a bit of a growth spurt
Thanks for the concern. Probably just tired, I'm feeling great. Thanks for watching!!
In Ct we have similar prices. Watermelon is only 6.99 . Same price for three back to school pkg. For the ham we would have paid at least 26.00 , that’s with a deal
Water melons £1.50 on special this week for £1 that's right 1 english pound coin!x loved vudeo fun fun fun!🇬🇧🤗🌻🇬🇧
I enjoyed this shopping trip with you & the Boys. Loved Everetts kiss. hehe cute 'lil fella. The Boys have made some very interesting choices. That was really nice of your friend. I guessed 700, not too off. Looks like you made the best of a rainey day. I hope you are safe from flooding. I love you & your family too! 👵
Another great video. Your boys are so polite. The sliders looked yummy...
We just got the orange and root beer ice cream bars..delicious
The boys really enjoyed the orange ones!
The toilet wands are awesome ( I used to clean houses pre-covid) Watermelons are around $6.50 in South Central Pennsylvania.
I am very curious to see the recipe for the Ham Pasta dish you will be serving at Westins party. Can you show that and share? Thank you!!
Yes, I filmed a bit of his birthday and will include the recipe!
Have good Day! I live in Quebec Canada 🇨🇦 and the price are very high since the debut of the year we have to choose what we eat and change company for paying less I don't know if you understand what I mean because I speak French an I am not very good in english! 😉😉
Sliders are amazing
Great volg .glad you enjoyed your summer.Rhode island has had no rain all summer.
You were making me laugh just before you started showing the grocery haul, you looked like you wanted to burst out laughing, 🤣. Nice haul. I hope you are all safe and no flooding happens. ❤️ hugs from Canada 🇨🇦
Cosco was so much fun my daughter bday 15 aug. Have a good week
Yes, the Clorox toilet wand is the best and easiest thing I have found for that purpose and I make sure to keep it in stock. I don't like the reusable toilet brushes because I feel it's gross cleaning and storing them. I use "The Works" toilet bowl cleaner, too, and highly recommend it. In my opinion, it's much better than the more expensive cleaning liquids like lysol. I can buy it at the dollar tree, but I rarely go there so I stock up when I do, and also home depot carries it.
I continue to be surprised that prices at my Costco here in western Washington are about the same as yours. One or two items might be a little cheaper, like the watermelon, but most are the same or pretty close. I love crab but the prices have gone through the roof so I haven't bought it the last couple of years. You would hope crab would be cheaper in Alaska and I am sorry to see it isn't.
It was very interesting seeing what each child chose to spend their treat money on! It seems like they are expected to share with everyone? In that case, I think Everett was pretty smart to save most of his for later as there are plenty of treats right now. 😀😀😀
Got me on the love of spicy pickles and no bread n butter style!
Hi Lauren...what a great video. The boys are so kind and respectable. I was surprised by Everett wanting to save his money. I just shopped at my Costco in Santa Clara, California and the cucumbers are $5.99 and the watermelon was $9.99.
Hi Lauren, Great to see all the Boys Shopping with you, Great Haul by the Way, the Moose Sliders looked Absolutely Delicious, till the Next time , luv ❤️ to all 🇬🇧
Prices are crazy!!!❤❤❤🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴
Hi Lauren, I’m surprised that Weston, didn’t ask to have octopus 🐙 for dinner 😊 that is so smart to do your meat like that for sliders So much easier. I have those toilet scrubber’s they are great so I highly recommend them. Thank for another great video have a wonderful day
I’m so sad that our summer seems stolen with all this rain!!! 😭 I am now also worried my potatoes will not be good since there’s no sun to finish them.
Last year the rain hurt our potatoes. I hope we get a bit more sun!
Good Morning family 🌅 and Happy Friday love your haul ❤️❤️❤️
I enjoyed.
I love moose burger, I live in Maine and moose season is about to open up
I really enjoy watching your family and the recipes.😊
Thank you so much 😊
watermelon 5.98 here i shop in az but live in nv
Im new to your channel and i just love your family.
Have you ever been to a White Castles 🏰 Restaurant? Those really looked like Sliders. At White Castles they steam the buns on top of Burgers. It is amazing to watch. I think they taste like Stuffing without spices. When you go to White Castles they have windows to watch them whip them up. A huge Chicago Favorite, always a first stop for lunch. I liked your version making it into a Hamburger Salad. Next time you should make onion rings in the Air Fryer, sliders with onion rings phenomenal
LOVE THE HAUL,WAY TO GO FAMILY 👍😀
Thanks!!
THANKS FOR READING MY COMMENTS, THE BOYS WERE REALLY HAPPY TO GET EXTRA TREATS,THEY ARE SWEET BOYS,MORE SHOPPING HAULS❤😀🙋🏽♀️
$11.99 for a watermelon, they are approximately €5 in Ireland, which is $5!
Thank you Lauren! I will be making those sliders no moose meat with ground beef!!!
watermelons are 2.99 in Barrie, Ontario Canada
Hi There From Texas ❤
We can’t get starburst in Australia anymore
How interesting! Do you know why??
My guess is $462. for groceries. Thanks for all the great videos. I find it so enjoyable to follow you and your family. Your videos always remind me of goodness that is everywhere around us.
The sliders look like a moose version of Crystal burgers, guessing y’all don’t have that there 😂
i like to see the differences between your shopping possibilities and ours here in france. The dinner looked yummy ... in fact you have lots of chance that i'm nearly 7700 km away lol
Love the haul! Your boys are the sweetest!
Thank you!! 😊
And Everett, I have been to Pocky Parties, no kidding. There are so many flavors, that is a great trade item.
I live in Maryland and we got a Watermelon today for $4.49
Good deal!
Watermelon around 70 cents of euro per kilogram here in Greece 🇬🇷 (I think a kilogram is around 2 pounds)
