Hello and happy weekend to you all!
Hopefully your weeks have all been good?
I had the delight of getting a COVID-19 test done on Thursday and well it’s hard to describe the feeling of that invasive little swab… Things aren’t supposed to go that far up your nose, but there I was on Thursday morning staring at the ceiling of the assessment center, eyes twitching and watering. The kind nurse said I did great for being the first time, I think she was just being nice.
Now before you all ask, I’m fine! No sickness or symptoms of COVID-19, however our health department recommended that all restaurant employees get tested (we’ve had I think close to 23 cases related to some fast food chain outbreaks) so I think about half of our staff went on Thursday. And guess what?
We’re all in the clear!
It’s a relief of course, but had a good feeling that I was fine.
Anyhow, let’s dive into a sales preview shall we?
Star Wars “the child” plush bundle -$6.00 @ $22.99
Samsung galaxy watch active 2 -$70.00 @ $299.99
Samsung 4K smart QLED 70″ UHD -$500.00 @ $1299.99
Duracell “AA” batteries 48pk -$5.00 @ $22.99
Duracell “AAA” batteries 28pk -$5.00 @ $22.99
Swiss knight Gruyere cheese 450g -$3.00 @ $10.99
Cashmere premium 2 ply bathroom tissue 40 x 250 sheets -$5.00 @ $16.99
Tylenol complete extra strength 60 caps -$4.00 @ $13.99
As you can see (and will see farther down) there were lots of sweet deals this weekend and lots of new items as well.
A sweet new 3 piece skillet set from Henckels international that felt really nice and sturdy, the non-stick coating felt pretty good as well.
Henckels are always good quality from my experience.
The Luxe heated seat cover caught my eye too. After having a vehicle with heated seats for just 1 winter I gotta say it is pretty much essential now! I highly recommend heated seats if you haven’t tried them before.
I also gave the DOM Steelhead Salmon Poke a try.
I love sushi (especially salmon) so this seemed like it would be a win for me. (It’s meant to be eaten raw, but there’s no reason you couldn’t cook it up too!) I will say that it was good, the salmon was good quality and didn’t taste “fishy” but tasted like good sushi grade Salmon. I just tried it on it’s own, so no rice or any other sauces and I thought it was pretty good. The seasonings were pretty light, so personally I’d add some fresh jalapenos and maybe a little more soy to add a bit of salt & depth to it but again I though it was a good and the price is really reasonable. (sale lasts until Sunday the 22nd)
Who doesn’t love Reece’s peanut butter cups? I know I do! And I suppose I could fool myself into thinking that these Reece’s “thins” are better for me because, well they’re “thin”
That logic works right?
And who doesn’t have a deep seeded love for the Swingline stapler, much better than the Boston staplers.
Oh don’t worry Milton, I’m not going to take your stapler. This is the one I’m referring to.
While not the classic “Swingline red” it does have that slick red pinstripe down the middle… Pretty snazzy stuff!
And Costco may be tugging at my heart-strings by adding the Jalapeno-Cheddar Cheetos to the “evil chip” section.
What they should adding is one of my favorite snacks, the “Flaming Hot” Cheetos.
Those my friends have been a favorite of mine since I was 19 or so, a guilty pleasure if you will… I have been known to decimate most of a bag of these easily, and would highly approve of a Costco sized bag of those puppies… Cheddar Jalapeno’s got nothing on ’em!
Enough about Cheetos, for now anyways.
I’m going to wrap this up folks and let you get on with the sales, but Dexter wanted to stop in and say “remember folks, wear your masks correctly!”
Yes, it’s a Lobster mask, and no that’s not how they’re worn.
Good night folks, See you on Monday.
Costco Online bookings for the flu shot are now available!
It’s true folks, you can make an appointment online to get a flu shot at your Costco warehouse during your normal shop, or plan your shopping trip around the flu shot… Either way it’s a win!
You can find an available warehouse & book online at the Costco Pharmacy page.
As we are headed in to the second wave of COVID-19 and kids are heading back to school I think it’s important to remember that we’re not out of the corona virus 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.
Newfoundland COVID-19 information
New Brunswick COVID-19 information
Nova Scotia COVID-19 information
So there you go, a little reading material for you.
Be kind, be safe and stay healthy!

First off thanks for sharing your Christmas movie favs. I somehow never saw Will Vintons Claymation Christmas so went and found it on youtube. Cute!
I’m in Oshawa so I usually only have about half of your sales so can’t be guaranteed the Apple Cider will be there today but going to have to risk the line up to check it out..and a few other things I hope mine has. Looks so good.
One of my fav Christmas movies is Ed Asner in The Gathering 1977 but haven’t been able to see it for years.
Have a great weekend and thanks again for your posts.
Sorry to repost the same review as I did the last time the Duracell Optimum batteries were on sale, but I would NOT recommend these at all. We bought the AAA size a couple of years ago and used them in the fairy light sets that you can put in a vase that have a timer to come on for 6 hours then shut off for 18. They are sold in packs of 4 at Costco under various brands depending on the year you buy. First we saw that the Optimum batteries drained quickly, which may have been a fault obviously of the lights, but then after a few months when I went to check on the batteries to replace I found that they had leaked inside the battery case/controller. These lights are only $10-12 for the set so we just tossed out, but it happened in others as well. The regular copper top Duracell batteries are fantastic, but I will avoid the Optimum ones.
I’ve never heard anyone wax so eloquently about staplers 😂 you should be in sales!
Glad to hear you survived the nose test with negative results! Sadly, I think things are going to get worse before they get better. According to the CBC, in Manitoba, the government has mandated that big box stores can sell only essential items which means places like Costco will have to rope off certain aisles in their warehouses 🙄. I can’t begin to imagine how stressful it will be for retail employees having to police the covidiots trying to circumvent the rules. Ah well, as they say “ya can’t fix stupid”! Stay safe and sane out there eh?!
Cheers n chill, Jan
Thanks very much for the weekend update, I’m heading out soon, have to really stock up.
I have heard the covid test is uncomfortable. glad yours came back negative.
Thanks Bob for the review on Duracell Optimum batteries. I was going to purchase these but will stick to the regular ones now.
Be careful and stay safe everyone, cheers, Layla 🙂
Which costco were you at?
Kingston, ON. Hm.
Wow just found this informative page. Awesome job showing the great deals! One such deal I thought was the pepperoni sticks. Although when I bought them I found out how they are probably the saltiest sticks I have ever had (and I have had lots) lol
Had a COVID test the end of September prior to having surgery, was NOT fun!!!
I too was negative thankfully!
Happy to show Dexter how the mask in properly worn lol
Poor Dexter! He’s doin’ just fine. It’s not a mask, it’s a lobster hat for heaven’s sake. 🤣
Hahaha, I don’t know if I thought about it as his “Lobster hat” but from now on I’ll never refer to that one as a “mask” again!
Thanks for the Poke bowl tips. I put mine over quinoa and added chillies and a touch of hot sauce and raw onions and edamame. It was delicious!
Thank you always for sharing! Just wondering if you know what kind of cat dry food Costco carries. Have you tried any of them? I am currently offering Merrick grain free line to my kitten. I am looking for some varieties for her. Would you recommend any from Costco?
Hi Aya, so our Costco has Whiskas and the Kirkland brand dried cat food. I haven’t tried either of them though. When Our kitties were kittens we fed them a mix of Iams and a Purina from the vet, a little pricey however. Now it’s a mix of Iams and a hairball/weight control blend.
