Hi everyone. We just got back from
0:02
Costco. We're going to show you all of
0:04
this fun stuff that we got. We want to
0:07
put it in our freezer and we have some
0:09
refrigerated items also. We were just
0:11
kind of focusing on that because it's
0:13
going to be a hot summer. It already is
0:15
right now. And we want to have some fun
0:17
stuff in the freezer that we can eat
0:19
that doesn't require a lot of work. All
0:22
right, we're going to start with the
0:24
most interesting thing that we ran
0:26
across.
0:28
Smashburgers. Smashburgers. Now, these
0:30
were in the freezer section, and the
0:33
lady that was checking us out said she
0:36
loves these. Yep. She just puts them in
0:38
a pan and heats them through. Not on
0:41
high heat, she said. So, we can't wait
0:44
to make these. These are made with beef
0:47
brisket and ground beef. Oo, going to be
0:51
good. Now, these there's 16 in the
0:54
package and they're 4 oz patties.
0:59
Do you have the receipt? I do.
1:05
We're going to go over the prices with
1:07
you. Also,
1:10
$19.99.
1:12
We got a delicious pineapple that we are
1:17
going to hack up, slice up, and put it
1:20
in the refrigerator to enjoy for a few
1:22
days. Yep. Now, the pineapple
1:25
$2.99. That's pretty cheap. I'd like to
1:28
go back and get another one. That's how
1:30
I feel about pineapple. There's too many
1:31
people out on the road right now. It is.
1:33
Yes. It is so busy out there. It's
1:36
lunchtime and everybody is off of work.
1:39
Way too peoplely. They're out of school.
1:41
They're on vacation. They're doing
1:42
whatever. Anyway, so there we go. One of
1:44
the salads we picked up was the one I
1:48
always pick up no matter where I go. And
1:50
it is a ultimate salad Caesar kit. Yep.
1:54
Caesar salad. And it has romaine
1:57
lettuce. Y'all keep an eye on him.
2:00
Croutons, shredded parmesan cheese, and
2:03
Caesar dressing. I make him eat it.
2:07
Yeah, she does. I nibble on it. He eats
2:09
it. Let's give you the cost of that.
2:12
$459.
2:14
That's That's pretty big. I mean, that's
2:16
that's a big salad. I feel like if you
2:19
went out to go get the components to
2:21
that and build this, it would be a lot
2:23
more than that. No problem. All right. I
2:26
was running out of pickles.
2:29
Woo. These right here, these are
2:32
Gorillo's pickle chips. Those will be
2:35
good with barbecue. Yes. Nice and
2:38
crunchy and have a lot of delicious
2:40
flavor down there. You just got to shake
2:42
it up. Be good with the smashburg. They
2:45
would, wouldn't they? All right. These
2:48
were $5.99.
2:50
There a lot of pickles in there. There
2:52
were. All right. What's next on the
2:54
list? Well, we got some chicken bites.
3:01
These are fully cooked. Yep. They're
3:04
chicken breast. And let's see. We're
3:06
going to read them. Fully cooked chicken
3:08
breasts made with all natural
3:10
ingredients. Yeah. I'm going to put
3:13
these into my salad kits. And they're
3:16
good just for a little pack of protein
3:18
if you need that.
3:20
And those are, let's see,
3:25
$17.99.
3:28
And you get four, six, eight, 10
3:31
individual portions here. We're going to
3:34
wipe this out. We're going to bring some
3:36
more up here. Yep. Round two. There's
3:39
just the two of us, so this will last
3:41
pretty good in our freezer. And also,
3:44
you know, it'll take us a while to get
3:45
through the refrigerated salads and
3:47
that, too. Yep. All right, we got
3:49
another good one here. We've never tried
3:52
this before. And what is it?
3:55
chicken breast strips. Strips fully
3:58
cooked. And I like that it's not fried.
4:02
And that one
4:04
Tyson chicken. It was $16.79.
4:08
It was $5 off. Yay. So, we paid $11.79
4:12
for this. And let's see. It's 48 ounces.
4:18
three pounds. And we're going to bring
4:20
you closer up on these items so that you
4:22
can see because he's just holding it
4:23
sideways. Okay. There you go. There you
4:28
go. There you go.
4:32
[Laughter]
4:34
You want to see the back? I'm kidding.
4:36
He needs glasses.
4:40
All right. These look really good. I
4:42
want to put this together with like um
4:45
fetuccini alfredo. Oh yeah, that'd be
4:48
that would be like really good. All
4:49
right, now I'm really excited about
4:51
this. All right, show them that. Let me
4:54
see if I can find it. What does that
4:55
say? Carne chicken crumbles
5:00
whatever. Don't come at us. We don't
5:02
know. Here I go. We know what it is.
5:05
There. That's what it is. It's 1449.
5:12
It's going to be good. Crumbles. So, you
5:14
put that in a bowl of rice and you put a
5:17
little bit of carrot in there, some
5:18
green onions in there. Now, it does come
5:21
with a sauce. A sauce. So, you don't
5:24
have to make the sauce at all. And it's
5:26
a go chung jong.
5:31
It's got a sauce in it. We'll show you.
5:35
Let me see how this comes. Want to open
5:37
that? I can get it. We'll show you all
5:39
the inside of this. There you go.
5:44
Oh, easy enough. There we go.
5:48
So, we're going to try this out with
5:51
some Thai rice. Yep. Yeah. Some shredded
5:56
carrot, some green onions, and we like
6:01
stuff like that. We really do. So, it's
6:04
got shredded. It's got broccoli in
6:06
there, too, and cucumber. So, whatever
6:08
kind of vegetable you want to put in
6:09
there. Oh, is that the sauce? Oh, there
6:11
we go. Looks like it might be a little
6:13
spicy. I see some red pepper flakes in
6:15
there. You can put whatever you want in
6:16
there. There we go. All right.
6:22
Did I tell y'all the price of that? I
6:24
don't think so. It was 1449. I think I
6:27
did when he brought it up to y'all. Oh,
6:29
that could be. All right. Next.
6:32
Cary gold butter. Butter.
6:37
We needed more butter. Everything's
6:39
better with butter. It's Irish butter.
6:42
This is salted. It's 14.49
6:46
and it is There's four 8 oz sticks in
6:51
here. There we go. That'll go really
6:54
good with my corn. Yeah, I'm excited
6:57
about that, too. I love corn on the cob.
7:00
Yeah. We're going to get him out there
7:01
on the grill. We've got some kilbasa
7:03
sausages. The kind of the links there.
7:06
And um we're going to put some corn on
7:08
there. Yep. And I Yep. That may be good.
7:13
That sounds really delicious. This is
7:15
eight ears of corn.
7:18
Sweet corn. 5.99. That's not bad. I can
7:22
eat myself. I can eat four of those
7:25
myself. Not in the same sitting.
7:28
Same sitting.
7:30
Okay, y'all. She just won't let me.
7:32
Y'all want to see that? Be the next
7:34
show. Paul's eating four ears of corn.
7:36
Full ears of corn. Oh, I could. I think
7:39
they want to see that. I might be in
7:40
trouble afterwards, but I could do it. I
7:42
know. That's a lot of corn for one
7:44
sitting. Yeah. All right, you guys.
7:47
We've got another salad kit. Which one
7:50
is that? This one is the
7:53
ranch. Yes. It's a chopped kit. It's got
7:56
green cabbage, romaine lettuce, carrots,
7:59
taco cheese blend, avocado, and crisp
8:02
corn. Now that chicken,
8:07
which chicken? I don't know what he did.
8:09
The Tyson chicken. Yes, the little packs
8:11
of chicken would be really good to put
8:13
in here. Yeah, they're over here. Now,
8:16
this salad kit, I will tell you, is
8:21
the Caesar salad was $459. The avocado
8:24
ranch was 55 5.99. There we go.
8:28
These turn around. Show them the the
8:30
what's on the inside. There we go.
8:33
All right. Are y'all blind now? Yeah,
8:36
they're blind.
8:38
We're going to put this aside and we're
8:39
going to bring you another round. I sent
8:42
them away. No, she didn't. I tried. She
8:46
may have tried, but no. One of her
8:49
favorite freezer things to have on hand.
8:53
That's Thomas's favorite. These little
8:56
pizzas. Stick them in the air fryer and
8:58
they're done lickety splits. These are
9:01
so good. They're pizza singles. There's
9:05
six pepperoni and six cheese and a
9:09
squeaky dog down there. Yeah, because of
9:11
this. She smells the chicken. Yes. All
9:14
right. The pizza singles. These are
9:16
$12.59.
9:18
So, it's almost like a dollar and a
9:20
little bit of change for each one. Yeah,
9:22
I get. Not bad. I always eat one
9:24
pepperoni, one cheese together. Oh,
9:26
they're so good. The pepperoni is
9:28
delicious. Let me tell you, it's crazy.
9:31
All right, that's going in our freezer
9:32
for the summer.
9:34
Next, we have What is that? The
9:37
rotisserie
9:38
chicken. Chickonone. Let's see how much
9:41
that is. This y'all know what it is.
9:44
We're at Costco. Yeah. How much is it?
9:46
Let us know really quick and then I'll
9:48
tell you if you're right or wrong. What
9:50
is it? $4.99.
9:54
Yeah. I'm going to be putting a
9:56
casserole together with it. And our
9:58
beagle's going crazy. I tend to use all
10:00
the white meat on the rotisserie and
10:02
then Thomas will just like eat the dark
10:04
meat on it. I eat the thighs, the legs,
10:07
the wings.
10:10
I suck on the cartilage. I know how to
10:13
eat yard bird. Yeah, we didn't have so
10:15
much other stuff. I would have gotten
10:16
two and made a chicken salad with it
10:19
because oh my gosh, we love chicken
10:21
salad. We'll let Thomas
10:25
Green beans. Green beans. Now,
10:28
in this household, we have an issue.
10:33
I like fresh green beans. I like canned
10:37
green beans. She likes the canned crap.
10:40
I like fresh.
10:43
You put them in there. You put some
10:45
bacon fat in there, onions. You just
10:49
cook the booger down. I have a recipe
10:51
for it on my recipe blog,
10:53
catherine'splates.com, on how to make
10:57
and I get them like twice a year. These
11:00
were $4.99. Oh, and there is
11:05
a surprise. Two pounds.
11:07
Two pounds of green beans. These are
11:10
going to be awesome. Yeah. Yep. Awesome.
11:13
Awesome. Awesome sauce. All right. I got
11:16
some fresh strawberries.
11:18
I'm gonna make Thomas's one of his
11:21
favorite pies. I have many whole whole
11:25
strawberry pie. All right, let's let him
11:27
open one of these up. He's been wanting
11:30
Never had these. These are uh
11:35
cafe latte concentrates.
11:38
You get six 16 fluid ounces bottles.
11:41
They're le
11:43
back to the strawberries really quick
11:44
while he gets one of those out of there.
11:46
These were two pounds of strawberries
11:48
and they were 379.
11:51
Not bad. Oh, it's all
11:55
Yeah. Let's see. The frozen solid le
12:00
coffee 1879.
12:02
And there's what? Six in here. Yeah,
12:04
there's six. Six. And that is frozen.
12:08
Let's see. Yep. They came in the freezer
12:11
section. So,
12:13
it tells you what to do to make a
12:16
Vietnamese latte, a latte, a mocha, and
12:20
a cappuccino. So, you use certain
12:22
amounts of this in with other things.
12:25
Yeah. Like it would take 6 ounces of
12:27
this
12:29
for the Vietnamese latte. Yeah. Full of
12:32
crush ice. Stir and enjoy.
12:36
We're going to be hearing some crushed
12:37
ice here in a minute. You're going to be
12:39
hearing lots of things here in a minute.
12:41
Hopefully not the green beans
12:45
wouldn't hurt my feelings. All right, we
12:48
have carne asada.
12:53
This is beef with pablano peppers
12:57
burrito. Mhm. What? I'm excited for
13:01
that. Let's open this thing up and see
13:03
what we got.
13:06
One day we're going to have to do like a
13:07
cooking
13:09
review. Yeah.
13:11
a cooking review. We're starting back
13:14
Thomas's channel, his review channel
13:17
called Rational Reviewer, and it's going
13:20
to include me and Thomas now. So, maybe
13:24
we'll try these for you. Y'all let us
13:27
know if that's a good idea. Yep. Let me
13:29
know. It's been a couple of years since
13:31
he's had that channel, so we're going to
13:32
revive it. Yeah, this looks really good.
13:35
Those are little.
13:39
That's That's it. They're 350 calories a
13:42
serving for one of these. So, look,
13:47
that's it. That's how little.
13:50
Is it crying at y'all?
13:52
Get over here. I can't wait to try it,
13:54
but I'm going to be eating two.
13:59
Let's see how much these are.
14:02
$20.
14:04
Now, how many are in here? You say there
14:07
are 10 burritos. So, $2 a burrito. Y'all
14:11
go out somewhere and order some
14:13
burritos. You're not paying $2. All
14:15
right. I think it's more than $2 at Taco
14:18
Bell. It's like $17 to get any anything
14:21
anywhere you eat out, you know. And uh
14:24
go to Taco Bell, get the bean burrito.
14:27
So, see how much that is. It's probably
14:30
more than two bucks. This you get some
14:32
be the carne asada beef with pablato
14:34
peppers.
14:36
Mhm. Let's see. I bet they'll be good in
14:38
the air fryer. It says marinated carne
14:41
ass asade steak, kettle cooked pinto
14:44
beans, brown rice, corn, onion, and
14:47
shredded pepper jack cheese. You're not
14:49
getting that at Taco Bell. Is there
14:51
pablano right there? Yes. It's uh mixed
14:54
together with authentic roasted pablano
14:57
sauce. Oh, it's a sauce that you're sure
14:59
to love.
15:01
All wrapped in a fresh baked tortilla.
15:04
All right, sounds good. Try them. All
15:07
right, you guys. What do you think? If
15:10
you know of something you want us to try
15:13
that we didn't pick up, let us know. And
15:16
if we get an overwhelming
15:19
response to this, we'll do another haul
15:21
for you. If you want to see a Trader
15:24
Joe's haul or maybe an HB haul, let us
15:27
know. We're up for it. Yep. Heck, we're
15:30
like a family of six. Yeah. Only two
15:33
live here. There's two of us, but you
15:35
know, we have two kids that live outside
15:37
the house and they have significant
15:38
others and so So, yeah, we feed them. It
15:43
never ends, does it? Never ends. All
15:46
right, you guys. Along with this, we got
15:48
some paper towels and trash bags. Our
15:50
total was $213.
15:53
This will last us quite a while. We'll
15:55
see y'all on the next episode. Bye.
15:59
This needs to hurry up and thaw.
