After 18 years being a lazy vegetarian(mostly highly processed soy products) I’ve returned to eating animals because of poor health. After only a month I’m feeling better. Thank you for your videos, especially the different stores shopping videos. I truly appreciate what you are doing.

Laura, It all looks great. Just so you know, you can make your own Boursin by softening butter and cream cheese (about 1/2 and 1/2) and add herbs to taste. Lots cheaper.

When you’re done with the grillos pickles, use the liquid as a brine for chicken wings!! It’s so good.

I was eating that canned chicken last summer and noticed that I didn’t feel particularly good after it having been in my diet for a couple of weeks. I was feeling inflamed. Then I noticed that modified food starch is an ingredient. Not everyone reacts to that, and of course we make our choices and can’t be 100% angelically pure with everything, but I wanted to mention that in case anyone else notices that they don’t feel quite right after eating it.

It was your story that got me started a couple years ago. Haven't felt this good in 30 years.

I’m retired from Bosch! Always excited when someone buys their products. Exciting!!

I always look forward to your grocery hauls, Laura! You give us so many good ideas. Thank you so much!

LG is actually a very good refrigerator and other appliances. They stand by their products. Every appliance maker has their issues. I've been fixing appliances for 33 years, and LG is one of the better ones these days.

I love the skin-on chicken thighs. I grille them with the skin off and then fry the skins in a cast iron skillet with butter and sprinkle with sugar free BBQ seasoning. I really like the Kirkland beef hotdogs too. Take that pork belly and make your own bacon. So good! Great video!

Fridges should have a digital temp display on the outside and an app to see the temp on your phone and an alarm to tell you if the temp is wrong.

$300.00 to feed a family for two weeks is amazing. It's all nutritious. 👍

I love your concept of chicken as the "side" dish! And love the variety in that just like you said - thanks for the inspiration!

No-salt for potassium, table salt for sodium, and mag-threonate for magnesium. The mag-threonate is pretty expensive but hugely bioavailable… but you can get cheaper mag powder. So much cheaper than those prepped electrolyte packs… if you want flavors get mio-drops.

Excellent video, Laura ❤ I paused throughout to add to my Costco list. Love your thoughtful wisdom.

I LOVE Costco clothes. I am a teacher and a fair amount of my professional wardrobe comes from here too! I get compliments on it!

Looks good. My only comment would be don't buy that farm raised seafood. Always get wild caught. Thanks for your video!

Girl there’s no shame in our game! Been shopping Costco clothing for years… good quality… good prices! Sometimes you get 2 for 1 which I love 💕 Haven’t been to the shee poopoo stores for years😊

Laura, Thanks for helping us new to the carnivore diet understand how to navigate through Costco and Sam's club. Knowing how to use options for meals is most helpful. Here is one tip I found from another YouTuber when dealing with Costco steaks. He would take a Ribeye or New York Strip as a roast and cut up his steaks at home. Instead of getting the huge 2" steaks, he cut them to the size he wanted to. Also, he mentioned that trimming any fat off was better after the steaks were cut as he could see exactly what he wanted to remove. I've done this several times and found that, while the price for the ribeye per pound is the same, I can stretch the number of steaks out more effectively. Thanks for all your tips and suggestions.

You know, butter doesn't go bad if it thaws out, right? I mean, eventually, after a couple months at room temperature, it can go funky, but just a day or two throw it back in the fridge. Alternatively, take 20 minutes and make your own ghee, then it's ok at room temperature indefinitely. Of course, dealing with a down fridge doesn't leave you a lot of time to deal with stuff...I get it. Sometimes, it's easier just to start from square 1. Just thought I would touch on it in case someone out there got the impression that butter was that perishable.
