I Love Ms Robyn and Costco is pretty cool too. BUT, I purchased a bag of the romaine and it stayed in our refrigerator for over 2 months without spoiling-that was a little concerning to us. We KNOW that they are IRRADIATING our SPINACH supply now. Im going to start making some phone calls to these companies to see if they are irradiating any of these fruits and vegetables.

IRRADIATION OF PRODUCTS IS REQUIRED TO BE LABELED BUT NOT REGULATED.

IRRADIATION IS NUCLEAR WASTE.

Yeah, Trader Joe's Organic strawberries are a good deal. I'm really apprehensive when it comes to non-Organic Strawberries.

Thanks, this video is spot on even two years later! The pineapple are almost always $2.00 less than retail. Prep it and freeze it for smoothies. :)

@Aeisree not every tiem though that costs more is more durable than others. I look and mix and match for durability and a good price. And costco seems to have done more than satisfied me with that. Especially their kirkland T shirts, It's around 15 for a pack of 4 black Tshirts, and 20 dollars for a pack of 6 white T shirts. They are one of the most comfortable T shirts i have ever worn and where a steal per item that comes with it (about 4 dollars per black T and 3 for each White T)

@Aeisree It actually is depending on what items you buy, Not everything they sell is the cheapest but most of what they sell though is top notch. When i buy products. I'm not just looking for how cheap it is primarily, I am looking for affordable items but i'm also looking for something that is sturdy and that will last a long time. Because when you think about it Products that last longer but are reasonably more expensive than other lower cost items are cheaper in the long run.

@loymonteiro What's wrong with that? You will have superpowers after!

@liesehaley Certain Costcos now carry Kirkland brand rice milk. I just saw it two days ago

Hey you forgot dates and nuts!

I find that Costco IS NOT CHEAP even with the high cost for membership. I get my food cheaper at FRY'S. Furthermore, our groceries and clothing are handed to us in aweful boxes, while the $1 store gives us bags. Will not renew my membership.

Costco does sell some organic products. The ones she mention are not. Costco carries organic carrots, organic quinoa, organic tomato paste, smart water, organic strawberry jam, almond butter, lara bars and a few others. Of course, the products vary a little depending on location. I've watched some of her other videos and she mentions that the studies that were made on eating greens were made on conventional produce however, is not only the pesticide, herbicides, etc. that is of much concern but

hey! where'd you get the rice milk? i've not seen it at mine...lol
