Well, another week in the books and another great Costco Monday shopping adventure. My week was pretty straightforward, which is fine… I’m o.k. with a lack of excitement from time to time.
Lots of great carry-over sales from last week (unfortunately though, not really on T.V.’s or laptops.) but still lots of good stuff, and plenty of new stuff as well. I’ll outline some of those below.
Rodelle organic baking cocoa 700g $2.00 off @ 7.99 (I can imagine that adding this to cookies, or beef rib marinades would be pretty delicious. Or using it in a Mole sauce? add to a peanut sauce??? That’s not a bad call! Strawberries and chocolate go together so why not a strawberry vinaigrette with a dash of this?)
Terra Delyssa infused olive oil $3.50 off @ 12.49 (great gift perhaps, 4 mini infused olive oils? You can’t really go wrong with this, even as a gift for yourself!)
Zavida organic whole bean coffee $3.00 off @ 11.99 (not Starbucks, but Id rank this one as a tie for 1st place in coffee from Costco)
Pepsi/ Diet Pepsi $2.80 off @ 8.47 (to be different than Coke products obviously)
Clementines $1.00 off @ 3.99 (delicious little things, who oesn’t love these??? Like mini oranges… mmmm delicious!)
Boursin Cheese $2.00 off @ 5.49 (why would you try and resist how good this cheese is, the Garlic & Herb one specifically. It’s ridiculous, though I can’t remember how well it freezes… I still have on in my cheese drawer so I didn’t get another one, but I may after a bit of research.)
And the Google Home assistant speaker 2 for 197.98. regular 176.99 for 1 speaker… I think I’ve said how I feel about those things so I won’t repeat myself on that one.
Some meat sales from the Kingston, ON. warehouse
Butter is also still (again, and again and again) $3.99/lb.
I’ve also added a few new links below. One will take you to the post from the previous week, that way if you want to see what was on sale you can, or if you just loved something I wrote soooo much and wanted to revisit it, you can. (right???)
…or not…
The other link will take you to the blog and the sales that were posted for the next week from 1 year ago (time warp anyone?!)
If you’ve noticed some sales tend to repeat on an annual basis so you may get some insight into what going to happen next week sale wise… Almost like a crystal ball (no guarantees on the accuracy though)
Check those out if you’d like, I’m always trying to find ways to make this blog more informative and more interactive because after all, we spend a lot of time here and I want that to be fun and informative for everyone.
*Bathroom reno update* The walls have had final mud coat added to them , and have been primed. Also the fixtures that we ordered (that were not the ones we ordered) have been re-ordered… A few small errors, but have all been corrected Now all we need is that nagging commitment factor from a few contractors and we’ll be set to go, as my partner puts it “we get a new bathroom for Christmas!” I really hope we have one before then!
*Kitty update* …Well no real update here, they’re both doing fine. The weather in our neck of the woods has been pretty mild so both Dexter and Ewok have been in and out quite a bit, but give them a few more weeks when the cold weather kicks in and they’ll be upset and sleeping most of the days away… Perfect time for some sneaky picture taking!
We haven’t picked out our Christmas tree just yet, though I imagine that will happen either tomorrow night or (more likely) Wednesday night. I’m excited though, I really can’t wait to get a tree back in here… Can’t beat that smell, having a live tree in your living room? Just fills the room with Christmas smells! And the sound of cats trying to bat all the low hanging ornaments off the tree… Gotta watch out for that one, but thankfully neither of them have ever seemed interested in climbing the tree so I’ll take that compromise!
A little Ewok hiding behind the tree from last year. He loves to hide and sleep behind the tree, probably because there’s a heat register behind that area so it’s warm and he has a giant live tree to sleep under. Can’t say I blame him!
I’ll post more pictures of the tree (when we get it and decorate it) , and the cats of course. Feel free to share pictures of your trees as well if you’d like! or send me pics and I’ll post them for everyone to see!!! What do you all think, should we do a post featuring all of your Christmas decorations/Christmas trees? If the overwhelming response is “yes” then I’ll post an email address to send them to and we’ll get that thing rockin’ (around the Christmas tree) I’d love to see some of your decorations! (and cats and dogs as well)
As the bathroom goes, it’s been triple primed as of today. So now it at least looks like a normal bathroom. Soon tough, soon… I will give you the finished product, then you and I will be happy!!!!!!!
Soon people, soon…
good night folks, and thank you!
Cheers!

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.

Tip to get the items that you want on your phone prior to a visit to Costco:
Install the Google ‘Keep Notes’ app (available on both Android and IOS) on your phone.
You can also log on to this at https://keep.google.com/#home on your PC or MAC.
Now use the included in Windows Snipping Tool on your PC to snip the items that you are interested in from the blog and save in a specific directory.
Once you have saved all your items – go to https://keep.google.com/#home and add all the snippets to a note in Keep.
Like magic these will now appear in the app on your phone.
Here’s a similar tip for iPhone/iPad users. Hold your finger down on the photo of the item you want to purchase until a menu appears on the screen, select “save image”. When you are st Costco, look at your iPhone photos to see all the items you want to buy.
Love your blog thank you so much for your hard work! I think it would be super cute for you to take a picture of your own cart at the end of each of your Costco trips and put it at the end of the blog!! I want to see your awesome hauls!
Thank you Emma, I’m glad you love the blog! And yes maybe I will snap a few shots of my cart. I’ve done that a few times on my instagram account. Sometimes it’s not a very big “haul” though. But I’ll do it for you next week!
I can’t wait for pics of your completed remodel! I love a good facelift on a room!
Oh and could you have taken a cuter pic of Ewok?! I can’t wait to see pics of this year. 🙂
Our cat Peewee loves sleeping under the tree— I usually find her there before I even have it decorated. Haha. Not so happy once it gets filled with all the presents though.
As always thanks for posting!
It’s my pleasure Stephanie, I’m glad you enjoy and hopefully save a bit of time and snag some great sales as well! Thanks for the support and for reading!
Thank you for doing this! I saw in someone’s shopping basket a little jam gift set. I wanted to get this too but couldn’t find it in the store anywhere. Have you seen this?
Hello Tara, thank you so much for reading! I’m not sure if I’ve seen a little jam gift set at my location (Kingston, ON) Have you checked the Costco website?
I love your weekly posts and look forward to them. Thank you for all your efforts!
A question for my Hamilton/Niagara peeps: did anyone see the LakeHouse restaurant gift cards on sale yet? They usually go on for $70/75 for $100. Thanks!
Hey Julia, Thank you very much for reading and for the support! I’m in the Kingston area so we do have some for our local restaurants. Not sure about your region though.
Hi there, I’ve been away in the UK so have been missing your posts and just catching up now. I would have loved to hit a Costco there but it was a whirlwind 5 day visit. Your blog has prevented withdrawal pangs until I get there next week lol!
Btw, your reference to the Time Warp was funny since my sweetie and I went to Stratford at the last minute to see their production of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It was amazing and the most fun I’ve ever had with my clothes on ?!
Thanks for all you do, especially given everything on your plate right now!
Hey Jan! That’s great that you got to take a little vacation! Hopefully it was fun as well as a whirlwind? I’ve never been across that pond, but would love to at some point. You’re hilarious! I’m sure the show was awesome, and yes funny timing! It’s a classic!
Well now you’re back and can get back into the swing of things & relieve the lack of Costco in your life.
Butter is also still (again, and again and again) $3.99/lb.
Soon people, soon…
Interesting that the ‘Trudeau’ Baking Set is NOT being re-ordered.
Is this a message to Justin?
Yes it it hahaha ?

Thanks Carla, Ewok is a pretty funny little guy and he’s loving all the attention he gets here… And loves to chew on the ribbons!
Thanks for compiling all the specials. It helps to plan the shopping outing at my fav store!!
