It's Costco day - my favorite video of the month!! If you enjoyed this video, please give it a THUMBS UP as it really helps my channel 👇🏼Comment below your favorite Costco bargain that you scored this year!👇🏼EDIT: Here is the affiliate link mentioned for the smart bulbs: bit.ly/3RHGasF

Your content is always entertaining as well as helpful

My wife yells at me when I try the pastries in the trunk when loading up what we bought. She says "Stop it! You'll never be like Matt!" Breaks my heart every time.

Yeeee! You're my absolute fave person when you mention deals and what not for all the stores. You are not annoying constantly saying something is a "good deal" lol I appreciate how thorough you are when mentioning the items as well as the research you do to back up why something may or may not be a good item to purchase.
So, thank you! (: the extra work you do can be long and tedious but it's worth the wait to see your videos compared to others who post every single day with little to no research comparing prices/quality/etc.

Love watching your videos. Furikake is basically crushed up seaweed sesame seeds and dehydrated fish. It's not fishy though. We use it all the time on our rice

I went to Costco three days ago. They didnt have all the new stuff out yet as they were still transitioning to summer stock. Most of the new stuff was furniture (not outdoor). Its nice to see they are keeping with furniture trends by carrying the lighter colors and people still buying lots of gray. They had a beautiful white bedroom set that I loved.

Dude, those InstaCrates are one of the best purchases I ever made! Just as you said, they're perfect for groceries in trunks but we also love usin em for beach trips, gear hauling, etc.! They're so compact we just slide em anywhere we need em (car, kitchen, closets). Badass!

Just in time! We are heading to Costco this week. Your videos are just the best, Matt. Thank you!🌸

I don’t know how you described some of these items without bursting out laughing! You never let me down with your sense of humor! 👍

Love the Costco & Sam's videos. Keep them coming! Furikake is a Japanese seasoning, it's usually to use over plain rice.

Your content is always entertaining as well as helpful for any actual purchases I might want to make. 😆 I look forward to every Deal Guy video, but especially those from Costco and Aldi!

Matt, I need you to know:
Last summer, when I had a whole week of nightmare level toothaches; the best way my husband could get me to sit still and calm, waiting for the medicine to let me sleep, was to watch an episode of 10 things I should be buying.
It was constant, organized, practical, enthusiastic, joyous, and loving.
You need to be told how soothing you truly are.

Buyer beware! I recommend that you don't buy the flags at 6:52 as they now have a plastic clip at the top to hold the flag. I figure this will easily break in most any amount of wind. (unless perhaps you only want to put them up for special days) I have used these flags and flagpoles for a few years now; replacing the rings and clips as needed as the plastic ones break over time and even the aluminum ones wear out.

Always entertaining to watch! Thank you for all your hard work just to make things easier for us!

Agreed ! I’m waiting for the canvas laundry hamper to be reduced from $50.00. Definitely overpriced. Thanks for the video! I always appreciate your detailed and enjoyable presentation. Love your sense of humour ! 😊
.

Love the insta Crate. Great quality and much less than at Home Depot, ect. I stocked up on them at the holidays when they were $6.99 at my Costco.

I love watching your videos! Another use for that Woozoo fan is to just use it for white noise. Many people cannot sleep without air circulating and white noise. So even in the cold climates it might be useful. I love how much fun you have when you show the video. Even though it looks like you’re having fun we can tell that you’ve done a ton of research on these products. We really appreciate that you’re able to do that.

There are many types of cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), grown primarily in Sri Lanka, is known as “true” cinnamon; It has the best flavor. and is the safest to consume. Cassia cinnamon (Cinnamomum aromaticum), grown in southeastern Asia, mostly Vietnam and China is the most common type sold in North America; it contains coumarin which, in excess, is toxic and has carcinogenic and liver-damaging properties.

One thing I noticed you forgot to include was the organic soil they have on sale! Already bought 20 backs myself and planning on getting 12 more later this week! haha

Do you go to the same Costco when filming your videos? If so, do the employees know you by name (the deal guy)? Have any customers recognized you? If so, I'd love to see those interactions if possible to throw it in. Thanks for the thoughtfulness in your videos. You try to find something for everyone.

Thanks Matt, I love being able to keep up on the great deals you bring us...Thank you and God Bless...

Thanks Matt for another awesomesauce video!!
So many deals, so little money in my checking account. 😆 🤣

Showed the husband the giant tv. I could see the calculator working in his head. I immediately said don’t even think about it. He can have the jeans. Wish those laundry hampers were more reasonably priced. I wonder how the pickle dip at Costco compares to the pickle dip at Sam’s? My 94 year old mom is addicted to the Sam’s dip. 😂 Thanks Matt!!

You always brighten the day Matt. I watch your videos not just for the great values you show us but your dad jokes and remarks. You’re the best ❤

I'm in NY, and we get different selection of products in the Costco here. I hope some of your goodies make their way over. Been looking for that strawberry. I go the Woozoo fan in Sep when it went on sale for $19.99. Best little thing over for my home office.

I have buffed out the paint on my vehicle with pickle dip and the results were stunning! :) Always enjoy your useful value seeking tips Matt!

My favorite February Costco item: The flower bulb bags from Longfield Gardens!!! They were putting them out at 6 pm Tuesday when my husband was there. We went back at 3 the next day - they had been raided heavily, there were empty cardboard containers on every shelf. We bought 8 bags, only because I restrained myself. The woman next to us had 14 bags and wasn’t finished when we left

Highly recommend the Revlon volumeizer blow dryer. I used to need my hair straightened after I blow dried it but now I don’t. One less thing to damage my hair. Win!

From the Spruce eats:
Furikake means “to sprinkle over” in Japanese.
Varieties: Shiso, wasabi, nori, salmon, and wakame
Furikake Uses
In Japan, furikake is frequently used to top rice, fish, and vegetables. It’s also used in making onigiri or nori-wrapped rice balls.
How to Cook With Furikake
Furikake is typically used to top other foods rather than as an ingredient, so keep it on hand to use as a condiment or to finish dishes. It also works well as a seasoning or coating for battered fried foods like chicken or shrimp, popcorn, and snack mixes.
What Does It Taste Like?
While different types of furikake have different ingredients and different flavor profiles, two common ingredients include dried fish and chopped nori, both foods that have a savory umami flavor.
Furikake that includes toasted sesame seeds will taste nutty, and dried egg added to furikake creates a richer flavor profile. Other furikake varieties may include peppers or chilis to add spice, and those featuring vegetables or herbs like shiso will carry the flavor of those items as well. Most types of furikake also include salt, sugar, and monosodium glutamate (MSG) to enhance and balance other flavors and boost umami.

I'll be going to Costco next week and those muffins look very inviting. I purchased the Cosco Stepladder from Costco - on-line - around 5 yrs ago - and it's the best. I keep the ladder in my garage - and use it when washing windows, shutters and blinds. I've also used it to replace batteries in the smoke detectors. The ladder is very sturdy and lightweight. I'm totally out of food and snacks - so I'll be loading up again.

You are killing me!! Every time I think there is nothing left I need, you put out another video. Especially the foods!! My list continues to grow! Thank you….I think! 😂😂❤❤

Regarding the hammock... "clearly wants you to see her feet" made me chuckle 😆 I look forward to all your videos. Humor makes almost everything better. Thanks for all you do.

Furikake is a condiment that contains seaweed flakes and sesame seeds, all ground up together. In Japan, it is used on the table as a condiment, and this fish product simply has this seasoning powder in the crust. 9:40

Mantecada is pronounced "manh teh cah dah". Manteca is just spanish for butter. So these are just as easily described as "buttered muffins." I think the intent is to suggest they rival hispanic brand Bimbo or Tia Rosa muffins vs an American style buttered muffin.

In our store they have Hamantaschen, a triangle shaped cookie filled with raspberry or apricot jam. Other fillings are available in bakeries. This is a tradition for Purim, a Jewish holiday. They are delicious but have 130 calories each. I was in Costco today and had a real battle with myself about purchasing them. I didn't because I am trying to lose weight, but Matt, you can afford to eat them.

I adore your channel. Thank you for your infectious positivity and sense of humor!

I have the harmonic wind chimes and LOVE them! I am thinking about buying a couple of more for my backyard and front door. The sounds are amazing in the wind.

You should start looking into Costco's alcohol! They typically have some of the best deals in my area on some of my favorite drinks. Example: Guinness is currently $29.99 for a 24pk, but at another local grocery store, Kroger, they are $14.99 for a 8pk!! I constantly find really good deals there AND NO MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED (at least for KY)

Thank you Matt!! 🎉 great thorough video as always! Went to Costco yesterday… but looks like I’ll be headed back! 😂

Matt, thank you so much for your dedicated research to help pass on savings to so many. We are very grateful.

The Furikaki crust is a mixture of seaweed, sesame seeds and other ingredients. I stick to the seaweed and sesame seeds one to top my rice. Some have dried shrimp and other crispy seafoods. To me, they are very fishy smelling and unpleasant. I do love the simple two ingredient one the best. One of them have wasabi granules in it. That’s good. I first discovered it when I moved to Hawaii 25 years ago.
The Bibigo dumplings can also be steamed in the top of the rice cooker you showed. The top steamer part, I lay a piece of parchment paper cut into the round shape of the basket and steam away. They don’t tear apart from the cooker’s bottom. Easy clean up.

I got the woozoo fan and after using it everyday for many hours during the hottest summer in cali of 2022, I noticed that the gear system started to jerk so it would make slight noise and not as quiet as when it was first out of the box. This happened after using it for maybe 2 weeks straight for like 10hrs+/day

I have that dish rack and I love it. The tray that catches water is angled so it drains back into the sink and comes out for easy cleaning

We got the laundry basket last year at our local Costco for $40.00 and it had the "*" on the price label. I thought that meant it wasn't coming back. Anyhoo, it's got that nifty retro look. Had to keep it away from our pets who loved chewing on the faux leather trim.

Thank you for all your hours of hardwork bringing us great info! Tell Mara she's just adorable 😍 !

I bought the woo zoo fan last year and it sits in my bathroom that is a very old design and just seems to hold hot air. It certainly helps move air around in a small space.

Your videos are SOOO helpful. Thanks Matt ❤

Does your wife call you Chicken Dumpling? No reflection on your courage capacity.
What I do love about you is you round prices up! It just makes sense and is more honest.
You are also very efficient in your video giving us the prices and descriptions with no extra air.
Take care ❤

I just realized while watching this video that I am mostly watching these videos for the dad jokes. 😂🤣 keep up! I’m always go grateful for your videos! ❤❤❤

Your drumsticks actually look like the normal size. My Costco has the same drumsticks but they're the size of a chicken breast, pass on those. Soup dumplings are tasty, strong ginger flavor so they seem pretty authentic. Love watching these vids, thanks Matt!

I love this Costco video and energy. I always get hungry at number 4, desserts. 😂

Hey thank you for helping me with my list, I’m going to Costco tomorrow (2/8/23) and now know what I want. Good job

As a former Costco employee, one thing that I learned is that you can return video game controllers at ANY TIME, without issue. This is important because some Playstation controllers for example have only lasted me 8 months to a year before the sticks start glitching. You can return controllers for a full refund and buy another the same day.

YIPPEE! The highly anticipated February Costco update! It WAS an unusually soothing video. Thank you for the fantastic tips.

THANKS for telling us about the sheds at Costco!!! Got one of each! I sure did need them and the prices beat everyone else! Woohoo! 😊

You had me at the Feit lights... so much so that I jumped online and bought a membership to Costco!! Unfortunately, these are not offered on their website. Sad face. On the other hand, shopping tomorrow looks promising!

when my friend travels they pack light, and buy clothes at second hand shops then donate b4 returning, never a chance of losing a bag

5:26 There are 1629 Jelly Beans in the jar. 27 pieces weighs 30grams per the label (1.111g each). Net Wt is 1810 grams... 1810/1.111 = 1629

Yay! I've been waiting on the WooZoo fans! I hope my local Costco has them already. I need 3 more 😁 They are sooo good that everyone that sees mine wants one.

They used to have turmeric..I miss it.. also the Laundry Sanitizer why did they get rid of this!! I have to go to Walmart just to get a larger size than my local grocery store. Lastly these chips called Turtle something, those were amazing. Can you do a video on the most random stuff at Costco? I feel like they get some new weird stuff all the time.

YAY!!!!! Deal Guy Time!!!!!!!!!!
Costco Day is my favorite video of the month as well- thanks, Matt!

We've been using a Woozoo fan in our travel trailer for the past two years and we love it, it is FANtastic!

My son used to work in Seattle years ago after law school and lived in Kirkland just north of Seattle. Wish I could tell you without embarrassment🥴🥴 how long it took me to realize that yes, this is where Costco was born!

I was just there this afternoon and had very few of these food items, same with last month 😿
But WHY are you not talking about The Falafel Co - Mediterranean Beef Kebabs?!? They are back at my Costco again and they are aMAZing!!

I loved the content 🎉! Will be buying the fan or two, also called try the pastry that looks delicious!

I started sharing your videos with my sister and her adult son. Now they love your humor and videos too!

@The Deal Guy furikake is a Japanese seaweed and seed seasoning mix usually used to season white rice 🍚

I have the Costco step ladder and highly recommend it. It is very light and has a slim profile so is very convenient to put away.

The compact hammock comes OUT of the bag. Most of us would be willing to bet it will never go back IN !! 🙄

Love your videos and your commentary! Always look forward to them! Thank you!

The instacrates are wonderful. The Woozu fans are the best fans I have used in a long time.

Matt, Saigon cinnamon has much more aroma and flavor. Whether it’s the growing conditions or tree species, I don’t know, but you can definitely smell the cinnamon oil and it’s heavenly.

Love to see more gluten free items

Thanks Matt! I especially look forward to your monthly Costco!

Thanks for the videos! Love them and enjoy each for all the different stores. Question: For the first time, several of the items aren’t available in my area ..one is the Pressure Washer. What area did you see this? Thank again!

Hey Matt! You have done comparisons of video doorbells in the past. It's been a couple of years I think. Any plans to do a new one? Any plans to do a comparisons for air fryers?

Took advantage of the Bounty paper towel rebate-I'm normally a kirkland brand guy. Wow-Blown away by the difference in quality. Bounty is so much thicker and mor absorptive that I need much less paper towel to clean up my toddler's messes.

Great as always! I love me some Costco!! Love all the variety of things they have for my home and tummy! ❤❤😂😂

I have the woozoo fan and its amazing in my office... The instacrate is also amazing purchase and easy to put away until its needed again.

Matt I look at some of the comments. You're so kind and helpful to everyone.
Thanks for everything you do to keep us up to date. 🥰🥰

Thanks Matt! Always enjoy your Costco Deals.

Sir you are a National treasure your videos are so pleasant and informative , you energy and carisma is the cherry on top..

The wind chimes are back! The sound on those is so beautiful. And the blue planter pots. ❤️

Always like your info on products. I live in CA and some of the things you show hit us later but it gives me a chance to be on the lookout. I love Vizio TV s but their sound sucks. Just saying. Lol. Hope the family is all well. See you next time

"husband appreciation day"! Love it!!!
Enjoy all your videos Matt. Thx!!!

I have become addicted to your videos. Always excited when I see a new one come out! Your energy really makes me happy! Wish I had the energy you have but it’s fun to watch! Good info for sure! Keep up the great videos! Btw… I have a Midea stainless steel dishwasher and absolutely love it! I would recommend anything Midea makes. Very well made! Of course, just my opinion….

I agree those sheer’s are really tough deal to pass up for anyone needing 2 or more quality sheers at a good price…picked them up a few days ago.. …I want and need the sam’s club folding dolly though..thats a tougher item for me to get…not many stores have the dolly in this area.
Similar applies to that collapsing box….I got 2 more.

Love the sigon cinnamon, it has a little more of a kick to it and that is a fantastic price.

I’m watching this as I just returned from one of my twice weekly shops from Costco. Lol, makes me want to go right back.!

I got the wozoo fan last year after seeing it in one of your videos and I love it!

Cherry and cheese pastries? Ultra delicious Jelly Belly jelly beans? OMG, I'm on my way. Thanks, Matt! ❤

Its springtime (here in So. Ca.) and gardening season! How about some buys for the yard? I really need the large size trash cans!

As a heads up, Saigon cinnamon should be used sparingly as a flavoring because it can be toxic. Ceylon cinnamon is the stuff you should be using for the benefits of cinnamon in the diet.

I always get sad when the video ends... love your content... keep up the good work...

I got the $50. ceramic planter and put my Boom 3 bluetooth speaker inside it in my Florida room, it sounds amazing and everyone has to ask where the music is coming from !

I have the smart bulbs! They are great!!! Easy to set up and I love the ability to turn my lights on when I'm away from home!

A bought this shed at Christmas. Highly recommend. Very sturdy. Only change I would recommend is getting real bolts to mount door hinges to main body. Would buy again.

Interesting video and great to see the signs of Spring around the corner! Love.

I LOVE Costco!! I buy most everything from there and love the Kirkland brand ❤❤

Just got home from Costco. Informative and enjoyable as always Matt. 👍 🎹
