ALASKA Costco haul | Food Storage Prepping 

That’s great you were able to share! One of the great parts of being prepared.

Same here 👍 when a lot of people panicked we had enough food and other item’s for about 5 months 👍

Same here I was able to give away paper products and other items to family and friends when the pandemic started I did not need to rush out and buy anything

im the kind of guy who always stack up cause my mother raise me that way..i just stack way more stuff..loll im still on some ''best bofore2016 supplies'' loll best thing to always have is''boost or ensure'' its a meal and its liquid too

When the TP craze hit like you said after covid started, all we had was 8 rolls total in the house lol. We were able to snag a couple cheap rolls from work, but eventually found a box from Amazon luckily.

Yes, peace of mind is priceless! Knowing my family will be ok for a long time feels good. Bad weather can really effect a lot! Plus it’s nice spending less time and money shopping because I buy in bulk. 🙂

Thanks! I really love it too 💕

He has changed so much already! I love the new stages but it’s sad too.

@@frozentogethervlogs god bless you beautiful family

Thank you! Being a parent is definitely the hardest job there is! Just trying to do my best… 😊

@@frozentogethervlogs It is a hard job -- but the most important job you will ever have!

Haha good instinct! I know my hubby thinks I’m crazy sometimes too 🤣

Thankfully it has been pretty good, but since filming this, there have been days with empty sections. It hasn't been a long term problem though, so that's a blessing.

@@frozentogethervlogs awesome! Love that i found your channel. Very cool to see how people live lives from different parts of the country. I miss the cold weather coming from the east coast. Safe travels from a “van lifer” currently in California!

@@gottahaveawawa7494 oh how fun! Hope you do ok with the crazy gas prices! Ours skyrocketed over night… 😳

Really? That sounds stressful to shop in! Where do you live?

We live in Phoenix, AZ. It's super super stressful. I just take a deep breath at the door.....and go.....fast. Hahahaha

Yes! Glad you are taken care of!

Yes, that’s true. Really annoying and sneaky… I have made my own from scratch, but would like to learn how to jar it to make it last longer. Sugar is added to too much stuff 😓

That’s the cool thing about RU-vid! You can visit from afar. Glad to have you here ☺️

@@frozentogethervlogs indeed! Thanks 🌼💜🇺🇲

I’m trying. 😅 definitely not easy though… especially if I’m hungry when I shop. 🤣

Thanks 😊 glad you are excited!

Hi! Yes, it’s hit or miss at our stores right now. We had a bad storm a month ago…

Not a bad idea to be prepared 🙂

They don’t stay on when sitting in a cart, but we always have a few pairs with us in the car and diaper bag.

Yeah I was thinking the same, snow outside no socks, shoes or coats? I know we Moms get rushed but take the time to dress the kids-you have a coat on.

I'm glad I'm not the only one thing that. Everyone has coats but this cute little girl not 5o mention shoes

Nope! Sometimes I don’t even bother making one 😅

Thanks!

In the winter we actually keep our freezer outside unplugged, it just protects the food from animals. In the summer we have a generator we can run for a little bit each day to keep the freezers cold. If I’m being lazy sometimes I do just drop stuff in the snow right by our door. 😅

Haha, no keto diet in this house 😅

Our shelves are stocked when we get our shipments

You paid no matter to the necessity of life in fairbanks

This shopping trip was to create an emergency pantry. Last month, the National Guard was called to help rescue people that were snowed in. Our neighborhood got snowed in for a while. When we did get out, certain areas of the store were empty. Not everywhere, but definitely stuff I buy. That is what this haul was for. 🙂

That was a great idea! It relieves so much stress knowing you are prepared and your family will be ok. We feel blessed we were able to prepare. 😊 hope you guys got through the past 2 years ok!

I started stocking up 2nd half of Jan 2020. In early Feb, near my deceased husband's birthday and our anniversary, I could hear his voice say, as clear as day, to make up boxes of preps for our two sons and their partners. The oldest one thought I was bat shit crazy and refused to take them. Weeks later, his partner came for a visit and said my son was getting a bit stroppy because he could not find what he wanted at the supermarket ( as the great shelf emptying had begun) His partner said that he if he had taken what I offered that would have meant that I was right. I agreed and then I told her if she took the stuff he could still save face. I told her to back up her car to my garage and load it up what I had packed for them. 6 large tubs. The second son came to me when he could not find canned tomatoes, pasta or sugar at the store. I told him that as I didn't know what he and his partner liked to eat, to sort through what was there and to take what he wanted and leave the rest. I told him I would grab what he was looking for if I was out shopping. Now things are getting short again here. (Australia) and we have planted a veggie garden. Still have full fridges and full food pantry.

@@margaretsmith8999 parents know best! 🙂 good luck with your veggie garden.

That’s scary, sorry you had to go though that! Cool to hear from the UK! ☺️

True 👍 I hope you doing well now 🙏 greetings here from your neighbor overseas Denmark

I am isolating at the moment.. caught covid last week.. pantry is full. Keep safe everyone

@@ivywilliams4258 Get well soon 🙏 and stay safe

@@grop66 thanks....

It is so nice! When I was a babysitter I never got why someone would pay me so they could shop instead of doing something fun. I get it now 😅

I used to coupon so much I could have been on one of those extreme couponer shows but my X husband worked at a recycle center so I was able to get all the coupons I wanted and I would take them to the store in the next town over and the guy would let me order cases of stuff knowing that I would come back the next week and only pay tax my girls are 40 and 45 and they still have friends who still talk about my grocery store in the basement but if anybody needed anything all they had to do was come and take it was more of a game to me than anything else 2 see how much I could get free.

That’s a great idea! Thanks!

Yes, chasing them around gets exhausting! I try to keep them in the cart, but that doesn’t always work…. 🤷‍♀️

Glad you were able to stock up! What was the best item you stocked up in? Grandmas are great! Plus it’s more fun to shop with someone. Thanks for getting it. 🙂 just because she wasn’t wearing them in the video doesn’t mean she didn’t have them with her. 🙄 I know it’s winter and I know how to keep my kids warm. 😊

@@frozentogethervlogs It was mostly canned goods, pasta, pasta sauce. At the time I had a four month old and an almost 2 year old so I also stocked up on diapers, wipes and formula

I remember the first year the darkness bothered me… definitely isn’t easy. Yes, it’s nice shopping with my Mom since the kids always want to ride with her 🤣

@@frozentogethervlogs I felt like that was a burden lifted to have them ride in her cart instead. :)

Yes, they are great to have! Love ours!

Yes, it’s always nice to have an easy/nice dinner ready to be made. We have most people over last minute 😅 I’m not a big planner 😂

That’s good! I am trying to not leave it anymore. Hard to remember 🙄

@@frozentogethervlogs while you have toddlers, this would be difficult but when they get older and no longer sit in the cart, if you put your bag in the cart (the portion intended for a child to sit) wrap the 'seat belt' around it so someone can't grab and run..... but it is also a good idea to keep it closed at all times :-)

@@emmib1388 that’s a clever idea!

@@frozentogethervlogs it is, but not an original one...read it in a magazine years and years ago -- you were probably a toddler at the time!! lol

Thanks for the encouragement! I’m trying to do the best that I can. 🙂

Yes, the kids love Costco too… all the taste tests to try while shopping 🙂

That’s awesome, I’m sure your daughter loves the break! I definitely love having some help from grandparents 💕

@@frozentogethervlogs yes she is really happy 😃 👍 also my grandchildren because they normally get something nice, a treat or a toy… I can’t stop spoiling them 🤣

You’re so so lucky ❤️🙏🏻💕 My mom passed away and I miss her every day. Please squeeze your moms and grandmas for an extra moment for me💕

@@carmelita4855 I’m so sorry! 😔

@@carmelita4855 I’m so sorry 🙏 my mother also passed and I miss her too.

It’s rarely crazy inside. Thankful for that!

Yes, me too! And for about the same price as non organic other places!

Thanks 😊 people can be quick to judge. There aren’t many little ones who like wearing shoes…plus I keep shoes with us just in case 🙃 Yes, I think I need to start eating and replacing our emergency food to keep it in date. Our stores are pretty empty right now, so I’m glad we have it!

@@frozentogethervlogs man that's scary. Glad you went to stock up!!

Ughh.

Yes, very true! 😅

Both 😁 we have 2 chest freezers outside. (We hunt and fish so we need a little more space) We keep them unplugged in the winter, it just protects the food from animals. But 1 of them is new so it is still in the box and we use it like that. 🤣 Sometimes I get lazy and just put the food right outside our front door… 😅 try not to though.

@@frozentogethervlogs Oh now I understand lol 😁😁 Thank you!!

That’s a good idea. I’m used to the whole outside being a freezer in the winter so, I forget about summer when I actually need to plug the freezer in.

Greek food is our Nov/Dec treat! 😋 so yummy! The yogurt we buy all year though.

I think you invented a new food lol. Now I have to add Spam the next time I make Tiropita.

We are slowly working that way. It will be nice if we can have a little more space someday to get it set up well.

I’m glad you were able to be prepared! I thought Hawaii was supposed to be strictly paradise 😉🏝

@@frozentogethervlogs Lol the food is paradise highly recommend to try local foods.

not sure about costco, but sometimes the other warehouse clubs offer a short term membership -- something to consider before making a commitment!

I love that the organic options aren’t as expensive as other stores! Definitely a blessing 😊

Hi Margaret, I’m from Melbourne and wish we could purchase some of the items shown in these videos. I asked a manager why we don’t get the same variety. He said that at times they are not able to import a lot of products. Not sure how true this is given what we can buy from international food shops 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

@@clairewright8153 I think it might depend on what people in your area are interested in buying too… when Costco was Sams, one of the employees said they sold the most coconut oil in the nation! And we always have coconut oil at Costco 😅 that’s frustrating you can’t get everything you want though… 😕

Oh my goodness, good catch! 😅 That’s too funny. Hazels shoes don’t stay on sitting in the cart. But we always have shoes with us. I keep extra shoes and underwear in the car too (thankfully never had an incident like yours!). 🙂 and snow gear too.

That’s great you take the time to help other people out! The world needs more helpers 😊 Sounds like you have a pretty nice set up!

@@frozentogethervlogs we do and we really do need more helpers in the world. I can't really explain the feeling when we help our neighbors its just I guess u can say I feel wholesome and I feel like we've done something great for others. Let's just say we would be ok during another quarantine lol

Sunday is the only crazy day, and even then it’s not too bad. Very thankful to have our space when we shop. 🙂

This is Fairbanks 🙂

They don’t stay on when sitting in a cart, but we always have a few pairs with us in the car and diaper bag

I don't think children mind the cold as much as us adults! They often go without shoes and sox!

Haha 🤣 Thanks for subscribing!

That’s awesome! For some reason some people think I’m not willing to share what I’ve stocked up on. And that’s kind of the whole point of stocking up…to make sure my family and friends will be OK when there is a shortage.

I don't play video games, so i had to google to understand. 😂

@@frozentogethervlogs omg 🤣 yes it’s from a video game LOL
