Look sharp Costco friends, 158 sales are on the go!
Also look sharp because I bought a Sabatier knife sharpener today, and gave all the “beauties” a good 20 times over. And so far they are lookin’ & cuttin’ good!
Has anyone used this kind before? (I’ve always just used a steel, but figured it’d be a good time to try a new one)
It’s got a 3 stage system depending on how dull your blade is, so some of the knives needed the full 3 steps… Not all of them, but some were well overdue for a deep sharpening!
Anyone out there have any knife sharpening tools you’re fond of that you’d like to share???
This was pretty straightforward to use, and the results seemed to be pretty straightforward as well. Just line up the heel of the knife, apply light pressure and pull the knife through.
Now if you’re using Japanese or European knives there will be a difference in blade angle so… You may need a sharpener that’s specific OR there are some that handle both styles.
Right now we only have Henckel knives so this is fine. But one day I will own some sweet, beautiful Japanese steel… I’ve used a Japanese chef knife once, and it was amazing. It was over a year ago so I don’t remember the exact reasons but weight, and the angle of the blade made it feel that much sharper and more accurate. I just remember that the limes cut like butter, and I’ll take that any day. (plus some of them are absolutely gorgeous!)
Head over to Knifewear.com to check out some beauties!
Hard to beat those sales, unlike the heat… Thankfully it finally broke thanks to a bunch of rain over the last few days.
In the mean time (despite the rain, which you can see on the grill) we’ve done most of our cooking outside on the new grill, which is working amazing!
Last night was potatoes, grilled veggies & marinated chicken thighs brushed with Diana sauce, or “secret sauce” as my Uncle Bill would call it. I loved grilling with Uncle Bill when I was a kid!
We also had a few more BIG ‘OL moth friends arrive and say hello, I’m assuming they wanted to come in and chill out for a bit.
I think this is a good stopping point. It was a busy and hot weekend, and we’re beat… So, I guess I’ll see you soon folks!
Thank you as always for the comments and the continued support!!!
As we are all getting back to normal (and heading into phase 3, YIKES!!!) I think it’s important to remember that we’re not out of the weeds yet, and each province has their own Health recommendations based on the provinces individual risk assessment and I would recommend that you follow the recommendations for your specific province. Information can be found at the following websites.
So there you go, a little reading material for you.
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.

Regarding knife sharpeners, my partner is a chef and has tried a number of them. He started with pull through ones like the one at Costco but has always found that they nick the blades from time to time. He then upgraded to the Chef Coice Edge 120 which had been highly recommended by Cooks Illustrated at the time. It was a fixed 20 degree sharpener. More recently he got the Edgeware Kitchen IQ58345. It has a variable 10 to 30 degree range. He’s very impressed with it. In between he bought a whetstone for manual sharpening and while he sometimes still uses that, he always finishes with leather after using his machine.
Actually I think the green signs are for the items that are on sale for the entire month of July (I think it’s June 29-Aug 1). I don’t have an executive membership and was able to get these items at the sale prices
Hi! Thank you for your posts every week, we really appreciate it. Also, that chicken on your grill is making me drool!!!
Just wanted to let you know that the cheese strings in this post are no longer on sale (ended July 12), I was there today!
Still can’t get out but you save the day! Thanks!

Any reason for the green signs, or did they just run out of white paper?
I believe each of the items with a green sign is on sale until August 2nd, but I may be wrong.
The green signs are the promo signs exclusively for executive members.

Thank you for posting!!
I’m pretty sure the items on the green paper are the ones that are on sale until August 2nd.

Thx for all those information:)
The wagon is interesting at this price. Unfortunately we dont have it in Quebec.
Hey there! Just wondering if there’s a problem…. I posted a comment and when it didn’t show up, I did another one and still nada! Am I banned?? Lol 😂
You would never be banned Jan! You’re like a founding member!
Well obviously I’m not trying hard enough…. 😬😏
That is weird…. I did it 4 times and still no luck. I hope they all don’t show up! Guess they’re floating around up in “the cloud”? ah well
They are the signs for all members….it is the items that are on sale until Aug. 2
Oh I wish the all clad set came back 🙁 no store in Toronto há it now
