costco dining room furniture
- so we are out and about today, so i am doing a shop with me because we're shopping, and i might as well showyou what i'm shopping, take you into a whole bunch of stores. i brought my van to the city today. we went by costco and a friend of mine, who just bought a new dining room table but doesn't have a big van,
it's helpful to have friends with vans, needed to get her table home. so we went by there,picked up their table, helped them drop it off, and now thinking we'redoing dollar tree first. let's do that. oh my goodness. look at all this gorgeous fall stuff that's out.
oh fun. all kinds of back to school stuff. cute. oh, look naomi, amelia's gonna need this, huh? yes, yes definitely. i don'teven think she needs one, but she needs it. look at all these binders. very nice. so, watercolor pencils,that would be neat.
and then some more graphite pencils. i think i'll get some of these. so when we're looking forfoil pans for freezer cooking, those of you who needto know where pans are, this dollar tree has a huge stash. i do not always seethis, but here they are. that's awesome. these must have the lids. yeah, so, maybe yourdollar tree has these pans. this goes with my little thankful pillow.
they make it easy to get alittle pumpkin collection going. i think i'll get one of these, too. several of you asked me aboutwhere i find little trays. i don't need anymore trays right now, but here are some at dollar tree. there's pj mask and elsa. all kinds of kitchen goodies everywhere we look here. so, now i'm checking out their make-up.
sometimes they will have name brands like cover girl andmaybelline, high end for me. lots of wet n wild stuff in here, though, and some colormates. kids have been asking formore kites, look at this. i'm definitely gonnaget some fun mom points. okay, so this looks likea lot of dollar tree fun. of course, i will layit all out and do a haul when we get home.
now off to the next store. okay, so now we're at costco. we're gonna go do allthe costco things, yay. so looking at couches. nice. i like that one. well, now here's a large family couch. and this one is, whew, pretty penny. pretty penny for this couch. okay, we got laundry totes.
okay, there's those baskets. many of you told me in thecomments in my last costco video that these baskets don'tpop in and out very well. so there's that drying rack. ooh. ooh, shoes. always about the shoes. now, these drawer organizerslook super helpful. they're, at the moment, 24 dollars.
beautiful bowls and plates. those feels good. and these stoneware,these are very pretty. and then this set, ooh.bowls and plates thoughts. maybe this summer will be the summer. oh, and then look at this. porcelain bowls. oh, these are nice. only 8.99, oh. i love 'em.
so plot twist: i have decidedto get my new plates here. i'm like "woman, these are greatplates, and you want them." and i don't know the lasttime i bought a new plate set. ten years, fifteen? this blue set, it's actually,you get four pieces: a dinner plate, salad plate, sorry, plastic is hanging, this little bowl and a bigger bowl. so i'm just comparing them.
i put them down so i could look at them. and the blue is very pretty. and i really like the brown, too. and i like how, with thebrown, both of the bowls, since i'm taking this apart, are really usable. like, you could eat cerealout of either of these. and this set, oh look atthis, isn't this gorgeous? and then wait until i show you the price.
are you ready for this? 16.99. and then for this chipand veggie set, 10.99. we are over in the food. not getting anything inthis section at the moment, but we are looking for somethings for the family reunion. made it out of costco, whole lot of thunder and lightning going down right now. it's not raining yet.
we're gonna try to get in the door at one of our favorite thrift stores and see what they got going on today. blazers, i always love a good blazer. got some paintings here. okay, so they got a slow cooker here. and they've got a food steamer with theinstruction book, interesting. and then, this thrift store
is always so good abouthaving bread machines. and look, it's got thedough hook in there. 4.99. this is cute, cookie master plus. now how could we say no to that? this is hilarious. this is my full cart. can you tell the lady with all the kids is raiding the thrift store? so zion and naomi are loadingup the back of the van
for their mama. now we're gonna go over to walmart and get some last things. then we'll drive that hour home. aren't they cute? they'relike little happy faces. does this show up? yes, so cute. - [zion] this would becute on the girls' desk. - [jamerrill] oh, yes it would. - [zion] it's got alittle bow thing on it.
- perfect. that's why all this, so, silly scents, we got the sweet side and the stinky side. let's see, what are their names? oh my, here we got mushroom, pizza, onion, dirty potatoes, ooh,old rotten teeth, oh my. then we have good things, coconut, watermelon, happy thoughts.
we always need scissors and these are two packs for 97 cents. and then i always love the consumable art supplydeals this time of year. now these rose art colored pencils are down to 64 cents. i think i remember lastyear getting these for 50. and then the crayola ones are 97. but i'll get these.
now i probably shoulda gottenthese at the dollar tree. they're 9 .97 here, but i just realized, oh, the way i'm that i'm setting up our home school this year, with the curriculum that we're using, i could totally use these. just each kid would have their own.
yes, i'm liking this idea. okay, guys, this might make no sense, but i want to show this to you. i am home, it is the day after. i have this room full of stuff i wanna show you in this haul. so for our family reunionthat we're going to tomorrow, i got one of these big60-count cookie trays. i love these costco cookies;
they're always a big hit at a party. 15.99, it's just a quick fix. i thought this was another good, like, "i don't have time to cook, "but let me contributeto the reunion food." oh, so at this family reunion, the way we do it is obviously every family just brings a pile of food. and everybody eats all day long.
so this is a 36-count of dinner rolls i got for 4.99. i got two of those. i got a thing of pretzels, and then we got the bigcostco-size bag of doritos, big bag of veggie straws, big bag of tortilla chips, and big bag of thesehimalayan salt potato chips. so okay, right now, but,ha ha, a few days later, here's the rest of our haul.
so these'll be the haulvideos that never end. happy monday. did all this shopping on friday. saturday was family reunion out of state. yesterday was church twice. all this stuff has been ina pile by these shelves here in our home school dining room. i'm gonna finally show ya all the loot that we got.
first let's take a look at dollar tree. doesn't this look like a whole lot of fun? so as you could tell in the video clips from dollar tree the other day, they have all the bestfall stuff out right now. naomi set up this table for me. i said, "okay naomi, "time to start workingon the family business "and get mama's haul table set up."
so i got this little thankful sign and i thought it would just go so cute with the always be thankful pillow that i got at i got at hobby lobby, i don't know guys, was thatlast year, the year before? so just lots of fall stuff. got that, got the little cute welcome friends sign. we got another one thatsays, "hello fall",
and what i'm planningto do with these goodies is put them on different shelves. and then, "hello, laundry basket," whole bunch of homeschool curriculum boxes that have come in, but i plan to just decoratethe shelves and such with fall things. you can see i loaded up on the pumpkins because for a dollar, i mean, i just got,
let's count here, two, four, six, eight. yeah, i got a instant pumpkin collection, all of these, of course, one whole dollar. thought "i can just set these all around "and make the room so cute." also got this little sign. so this i thought would bemore hang by the front door. we've got autumn, apple cider, hayrides, pumpkins, and fall leaves.
super, super cute fall stuff. oh, and then this one. thankful and blessed, yes. i might hang this in my kitchen. those are the fall things. now, as you can tell, we've got lots of school-ish type stuff,
and kites. so the kites, i told the younger kids, once i was done filming, they can go after the kites. also, as i mentioned in the store, we're going to start back withour fresh school year here in about two weeks. and what i wanna do on our first day back
is have a fun little pile of goodies for each kiddo. so that's stuff i'm gonna show you now. as example, i got this nail art, and look, toenail art designer for naomi. it has the stickers, andthe little color stickers, just so cute. i know she's gonna love that. and then this is fashion friends forever,
and it has all the clothes. this is just, you know,twelve-year-old girl, right up her alley, and it's got the little models in here. she can do, yeah, just allthe cute fashion design. so these'll be two treats for her. and then something else for naomi, i got her, these arescrapbooking stickers. i got her those.
here in the coloring books, i was thinking this would be a fun one for daniel, he is getting someschool books for this year. he's only four and a half;he'll be five in december, but since i have everyone else rolling, he's gonna start doing somemore things with us, too. and so benjamin, the two-year-old, will be the only one running around. daniel, his schoolbooks that i ordered him
do not have stickers, and he keeps asking me 'causehe's used to doing these in his little preschooltime if they have stickers. so i picked up some more, the numbers one and then the animals one. these, again, are so great for little fun. look at all those stickers. i mean, those alone are worth a dollar. he really enjoys these.
and then i knew if i got him one or two, amelia would want one, so i got this one withlittle household things with her in mind. this is for benjamin. again, he's two, but i know when i havethe kids around this table he's gonna be over there on the bench and want to do his school, too.
so i got this cute little book just for him to scribble around in. this was for daniel, and thenthis one might have been liam. back to practical things,yes, i got some floss. these, i was thinkingfor my artistic kids, they had watercolor pencils, so i was thinking zion,naomi, gabriel, and liam. and then these graphite pencils, i know, let me get my kids straight,
gabriel and naomi havebeen using a lot of those, so these were just somelittle, some bigger kid things. and then also these are rector sets. this was for gabriel and liam. these cute little backyardbug kits, aren't these cute? so you get the little bug container, pair of tweezers, and a net, and then it's got a magnifyingglass and such on top. i thought this would beon daniel and amelia's
first day of school stack. oh, yes, and this pen. this was for girlfriend, too. so this is for amelia, also. and then those two puzzles. and then, let's see, i thoughtthese pencils sharpeners were so cute, little piranha sharpeners. i mean, we'll lose these in a heartbeat,
but they're still cute. these were for, they're little slingshots. that's what you wanna giveyour kids on school, right? they can go outside ontheir break and do it. this is for gabriel and liam. here's some safety pins,'cause i just need safety pins, and, yeah, got 'em at dollar tree. these were also both for amelia's fun first day of school pile.
and then these were also,these were for my naomi pile, only because i have her pile started. says, "this girl won't stop"and "chase your dreams." and then, let's see, overhere we have some puzzles, and i was figuring on this one being more like somethingbenjamin can poke around with, and then these two would be for daniel. so then back here with these stickers, these are so cute.
they have little googlyeyes, so i was, like, amelia and liam and then probablygabriel with those. yeah, not intended at all for their fun back to school treats. these are just more. they got some kites a fewweeks ago and loved them, have been asking for some more, so just to have on hand. so now i'll put this awayand get out the next load.
what? look at all of this. so yes, at walmart, part ofour back to school haul, and if i was doing this all proper i would've done a separate,like, back to school haul video, but you're just gettingeverything in this video, so you're welcome. so anyway, i've got us a fresh checker, it's got chess, checkers, and tic-tac-toe. i got this, i mean, itlooks like it's, you know,
it's a decent quality. yeah, it's foldable,it'll all store in this. and we will use it, and we will like it. there, that's what that's all about. got us a fresh version of connect 4. this was like a six dollar game and so was the sorry, and a couple cents. we have copies of these games, but they have been well-loved.
i mean, i used to play them at the pond at the farmhouse withlittle jaden and little zion and we all know jaden's an adult now, and zion's real close to it. so it was time for freshcopies of these games, and then the old ones thatare missing pieces and such, little kids can just feel likethey're getting those out. this brings me to the question i get all the time about games.
so we have a separate collection for our good games and our games that we don't wantlittle kids getting into. and then we have a section onthe shelves that's down lower and little kids can just, you know, "play monopoly" together, but the pieces aren'tthere; we don't count on it. that keeps them out ofthe good copies. yes. okay, we've got some jenga.
i don't think i've everactually owned this game, although i've played it. so i thought this would be lots of fun. yahtzee, apples to apples, this is one, zion andnaomi have played this just many, many times lately with friends and on our camping trip, andwe needed our own copy of it. so daniel is kindergarten, and amelia's marching righton through first grade.
and so these, just for the younger grades, i love using these wipe clean books. dry erase, there you go. so i got both of these, and i just figured if they have a time where i'mworking with someone else, they're waiting for meto get back to them, or i might just say, "hey, okay, now you two get to dodry erase board time",
or dry erase book time. we don't have any of the books right now; we have several boards. so these were on the priceyside, 8.98 and 11.68. but the two youngesthomeschoolers will use these. also game-wise, i got phase 10. we don't have copies of these, and i got a copy of rook. i've never actually played this,
but i've seen some people play it, and i want to learn. so back to school things, we got 10 packs of colored pencils, i got a bazillion rose art crayons. rose art crayons were only 25 cents. and i got a bunch of crayola crayons, those are 50 cents. also, these were only a dollar,
we got eight new pairs of kid scissors. i got a stapler because i remember now i have one back in my office, but i wanted one for up highout here on the school shelves. and then, of course, the good pencils. we got four more packs. now we're using a wholelot of a curriculum called master books this year, and i wanted to get each ofthe kids their own book bin.
so i got these at walmart,and so i'll have one for naomi and gabriel andliam and amelia and daniel. zion has more than willfit in one of these bins. but it's a christian consumableworkbook-based curriculum, and i hate the word workbook, but everything is self-contained,open, and go in the books. plus we're doing a bazillion read-alouds. i will do a video on some of that, or homeschool day in the life,
or something here shortly and show ya, but i was thinking i wouldorganize their individual books in these book bins. okay, now onto the thrift store. we just had such a fantastic time. something i got at the thrift store because they had them this time, is i got these blankets. this one is cute; it'sgot farm animals on it.
it was, like, 2.99. i got this comforter set for amelia. it was around six dollars, it has a bedskirt, too. and then this is justa fun design comforter that was about five bucks, and so those three have been washed, and they will be dispersednow. then i got this. it's a vera bradley, yay,
which probably isn't even a thing anymore, but it was 2.99, and ameliajust had hearts out of her eyes when she saw it. she will put babies in here and pack it and take it with her. this was liam's treat; it was 2.99. but look at what happens here. let's see if i can do this with one hand. yes.
look at that. cute little, like, dragon,kind of like a pillow pet, just really cute and fun. yes. just looks like something liam would love. this was naomi's treat. it is a kid metal detector,but it does turn on and it does work, and it was 1.99. so whenever i get the kids treats, i'm always like, "you haveto let mommy film it, okay?"
so this is what i picked up for gabriel. i opened it, but it had not been opened, and it's all packaged inside. so it's the magic rocks,the crystal-growing kit, it's a shark theme. i thought he would have fun with this. i got us, just for our family cups. they had a dumbo cupthere, and it was 49 cents. so, yay, new cup.
baskets were two for a dollar, and i have thing for good baskets. and i know we'll put booksand different things in these. this was so cute; wecould not not get these. naomi loved them; they were 49 cents each. so she got a oreo one, andshe can put lip glosses or nail polish in them. bubble gum one, and thenwe have a life savers one. she'll just do stuff with it.
and then for daniel, oh, let's see, something for mama. just another rubber spatula for 99 cents, and it feels like a good quality one. and then for daniel, this was so cute. so i found this bucket, and then i kept finding puppies. now this is actually, yes, this is one of daniel'sthat got mixed up there.
okay, this was a kitty for amelia, and then these are all daniel's, so he got a bucket full of puppies. yay. yes, that's a thrift store. now i'll show you costco. okay, and now the new plates. so these are the plates iended up going with at costco. i love browns and thatstoneware look anyway,
so i figured with these i also, the whole thing about the bowls. in the other sets, likethat beautiful blue and the other white that was there, you had a bowl that couldbe a soup bowl, salad bowl, cereal bowl, but then theother bowl was really little, like a little, i don'tknow, not even a cup; a very small little side dish bowl. and so i thought with this,
"well, now wait a minute, service for 16, i'm actually getting 32 usable good bowls. the reason i went with 16 is as you know, we feed nine to tenhere all day every day. then when my mom comes that's another one. and then we have some other people that end up coming over from time to time.
so this will give us enough,pretty much for any meal, and then a count for somethat may be, you know, dishwasher and beingprocessed at meal time. so let's open this upand have a look at these. gonna just bust these open. so here is one of the lovely new bowls. love it. so this little plate, miss amelia,
this would be for youguys to have breakfast on. it's a nice little, theseare traditional salad plates. okay, then this is our next bowls, and i really liked thesize of these right here. so in comparison, justlike i showed in the store, again, 24 dollars a set for a sixteen-piece
set. and then here's what thebig plates look like. there's the full size plate. see how nice that looks? it'll be our new plates. so there you go guys, that is the result of all of that shoppingi did the other day out. i'm glad i just went ahead and jumped out and got these plates.
i think we're going to usethese for many years to come. i'm also filming kinda like a week in the life video right now, so be on the lookout for that next one that's coming out this week. it is my birthday, my 40th birthday week. i don't know what i'm calling it, but 40's gonna be the numbers, okay. in that video, i will show what i'm doing
with all my other plates and getting these plates set up. so i will see you next timewith another brand new video. thank you for watching allthis shopping as always, and i'll chat with youin those comments below. bye bye.
