Well Costco Shoppers, we’ve made it to the end of the line, we’re checkin’ out of 2018 and strolling down the aisles into 2019! Amazing how I never even considered how that would sound back in 1988, or even 1998… I guess 1999 was a big one though, Y2K and all being such a big “threat”… Darned computer code!
Wow, I can remember how big of a concern that was at the time, but never gave a thought to “hmmmm, I wonder what we’ll be saying when the ball drops in 2019?” But that’s still another year away…….. Concerns about apocalyptic New Years predictions aside, how about a few sale items to tickle our fancies (while we enjoy some prosecco or Champagne if you’re feelin’ fancy tonight! or just fancy in general.)
Just a little taste to get you going this week… Now we can move forward!
I don’t know about you folks, but I had a great Christmas break… I suppose I’ve written a few times about it so I won’t revisit any details but needless to say we ate, we drank, we were merry… What else can you ask for really?!
Driving home on the 27th was an adventure, though traffic on the 400 towards Toronto wasn’t too bad, we did have a detour (or 2) to make that involved parking at the Yorkdale mall… I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a parking lot so jammed up and gridlocked. It was insanity… It took us maybe 15 minutes to get from the 401 exit to get to the middle of the lot (that should normally take like 3-5 minutes max. so this was nuts!) My partner had made an appointment to get an acupuncture treatment (same place for 20+ years, apparently he’s good!) so we thought instead of driving to downtown Toronto we’ll just park at Yorkdale mall and take the subway in… Shop around a bit, take our time… Well the parking fiasco put the Kibosh on that notion pretty quick… We struggled (but finally after maybe 30 minutes) found parking, and made it on the subway, though no shopping was had. In a fantastic twist of fate, the Acupuncture clinic happened to be right across the street from the Royal Ontario Museum, so I figured what better way to spend an hour than to stroll over there, walk through the Bat cave, and then explore ancient Egypt and Europe? There really wouldn’t have been another way! I figured I didn’t see the Egypt/Europe exhibit when we were there in August so I may as well make the trip now… And you know I can’t resist re-visiting the Bat Cave!
Another stop that I made sure was locked in was to a place called the Commisso & Rocco Bakery on Kincort st. in Toronto. This is a place that you must go if you love fantastic hot sandwiches of the Veal or Meatball variety. My partner and her parents used to go there when they were kids in the 70’s and they loved it then, I didn’t discover it until 2 years ago… It’s still the same place basically… They had something good, and never messed with it, and they shouldn’t because its still fantastic! I love the place and try to find a way to swing by that area each time we’re in Toronto. (doesn’t always work, but I try!)
Ahhhhh, it was a good time.. But as we all have to do eventually, I was back to work on the 28th (which happened to be my birthday) and the 29th (and this morning after an early Costco visit). But that’s OK, we survived he Holiday season happily and are back home with Dexter and Ewok to ring in the new year. (and that’s rapidly approaching as I write!!!)
It has been a crazy year, but I gotta say… I really appreciate all of your support, really really really!!!
I’ve gotten to know a lot of your names on the comment boards, I’ve gotten to look forward to seeing your names up there! I love the questions, I love the responses, I love the community we have here, and I look forward to so much more of it next year… Which is of course TOMORROW!!!
Happy New Year to all of you!
I look forward to another great year of doing this in 2019.
Please note:
The price at your local Costco takes precedent (or precedence) over the prices listed on this blog.
Costco liquidation/Manager’s Special items (ending in .97) vary from store to store.
An asterisk (*) on the price tag means the item is not being re-ordered.
If there is something you really want, ***double check the expiry date*** as some Costco sales items do end mid-week.
The food brands available can differ from region to region. Pictures are taken at a store in Ontario. Sale items should apply to Costco locations in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Nova Scotia, if the item is in stock at your store. There will likely be a few deals not shown here in your store. If this blog has helped you save money, consider sharing www.cocoeast.ca with your friends and family! If you see deals at your store that aren’t on this blog, post them in the comments and help spread the money saving love!

Thank you Meredith, I’m glad you enjoy the blog and hope you save some time and money by using it! And yes, I do really love doing this! Happy new year to you as well!
You’re welcome Susan, thank you for reading and your support! It’s always nice to get a plan in place before you head into Costco and save some time so you don’t need to wonder through the aisles, though I kind of enjoy that obviously, hahaha
That’s awesome, thank you for saying that Windy I really appreciate it! I look forward to doing this every week so it means alot that people look forward to it. For the sales and for the kitties!
That’s great to hear R.R., thank you so much for reading! It’s an honour to be a part of your Tuesday ritual, and I’m glad you enjoy! I look forward to hearing from you again soon!
You’re welcome Gagan, thank you so much for reading and commenting! I’m glad you enjoy and hopefully get some great time and money savings each week as well!
Checking your blog on Monday evening has become a part of my routine. Thank you so much for your entertaining and informative posts. Wishing you and your loved ones all the best in 2019.
I toast your efforts…. not only did you hit Costco on Christmas Eve and Boxing-I-don’t-get-outta-my-jammies-Day, but New Years Eve too! And then posted it all on your blog, for heaven’s sake lol. I bow humbly in awe.
cheers to you and your partner and your kitties, Jan
How about a toast to us all! Thank you very much Jan, as you are well aware I love doing this. I got my holiday Costco shopping/trips done first thing i the a.m. so I didn’t miss much family time so it’s no big deal… I actually think I like shopping first thing in the morning better than later on… It’s almost a zen-like feeling in Costco at that hour (ok that’s a stretch, hahaha!) either way It’s a pleasure to do this and always a pleasure to read your comments here. Happy new year to you and yours, I look forward to sharing another great year with you (and the kitties) here!
Cheers
Thank you once again. I check this site every Tuesday and then plan my shopping. Can’t believe you took precious time this time of year to continue to provide us all with shopping info. Happy New Year.
Hey Brenda, thank you so much for your kind words! It’s honestly a pleasure to do this, and I went to Costco first thing in the morning on those days so I didn’t miss and precious time with the family!
Thank you for reading the blog each week, and I look forward to sharing another great year with you here. Cheers, and happy new year!
You might consider showing stamps since they go from a value of 85 cents to 90 cents each by January 14. Costco’s price of under $85 for 100 is a better bargain than ever this week. We love your site. We check it every week. Thank you.
Hello Tim and Wendy! That’s a great idea! I wouldn’t have thought about that, but thanks to your suggestion I’ll try and remember to include that each week in my posts. What province are you in and how much are the stamps there? just wondering if they would be the same or not… Let me know! Thank you again for your support (both of you) and Happy new year! I look forward to hearing from you again soon, Cheers!
Thanks so much for what you do.I have never left a comment before but have been following your page for about a year. I look forward to reading it every week. Thanks for posting. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Thanks of course from your biggest fan. I too look forward to your post every week. It’s informative, funny and real. Keep up the great work through 2019 . I’m looking forward to seeing some more photos of the delicious meals you prepare with your Costco haul and of course photos of the kitties.
Happy New Year.
BE WARNED-Mississauga Dundas and Dixie, NONE of the discounts were being applied at the cashier desks-you had to line up fifty people deep (or more) for the lone supervisor to apply each discount (after you already paid). Needless to say I didn’t wait but will return.
BTW, many items you have listed for sale here-the posted sign didn’t show the sale price-Olay products, Pantene, salmon and many, many more. Very poorly handled by Costco today. DON’T GO until its fixed!
Thank you ever so much for this fantastic site and all the work you do!!! Look forward to reading your blog as soon as it’s posted.
Very Best Wishes to you and your family in 2019! XOX

Happy new year!
I live in Ontario and went to the nearest Costco after seeing your recent post. Unfortunately, none of the items I chose from your sale list is on sale at our Costco. Do I have the correct blog for Ontario?? It has been only in the recent few postings that sale prices are not offered in London
Hi Bernadette, Happy new year to you as well! As it says in the F.A.Q.
***While most sale items are consistent throughout Eastern Canada, some sale items will vary by store. Your local Costco’s price will always take precedent over the prices posted on this website. Also, any items on the blog that end in ‘.97’ means the item is on a manager’s clearance. These ‘.97’ items are store dependent. If you are interested in one of these products you can check with customer service or phone ahead with the item number to see if any of the items is available at a nearby warehouse!***
Some sales in the last few weeks have been ending mi-week as well, so make sure you are checking the sale expiration dates as well.
I hope Costco realizes what a gem you are!! I am convinced I spend (and save) a lot more money at COSTCO whenever I check to see what the savings are each week on here!!
Thanks again for a wonderful post and all the effort you put into helping us!
Anyone else having problems clicking the pics? I usually do so and it opens the pic which can be enlarged… now, when I click it, it just reloads the main sale page for this week. Have tried on mobile and now Chrome on PC.
Hi Joel, Thank you very much for your support! I figured out what that issue was with the pictures was, I just had the “link to” option set to the wrong thing. Thanks for noticing though, I was able to fix it.
Thank you! This must be quite a labour of love.
Happy 2019
