Welcome back to the Treasure hunt Costco friends and family!
Hopefully you all remembered to set your clocks ahead?
While it does kinda suck to lose that hour of sleep it feels waaayyy better to have that extra hour of daylight. It makes it feel so much closer to spring and I’m sure we’re all ready for that to happen! (I mean technically spring is only 5 days away)
Lots of new sales at Costco this week and it was actually pretty mellow in the warehouse today. Though for some reason there’s always 2 or 3 aisles that wind up being a nightmare, and it seems to always be the clothing section and the aisle with the candy & protein bars/drinks. I have no clue why but those spots always just seem to get backed up, very odd. Does anyone else find that happens at your warehouses???
Why don’t we take a quick peek at some of the 148 sales this week.
Scoiattolo organic vegan ravioli 2 x 454g -$4.00 @ $9.99
Calvin Klein comforter set king 3pc. -$20.00 @ $74.99
Artika LED ceiling fixture Starraker -$7.00 @ $26.99
Braun thermoscan ear thermometer w/ back light -$12.00 @ $47.99
*
Ziploc Large ($13.99) & medium freezer bags ($11.69) , sandwich bags ($13.49) & the 58 piece variety container set ($11.99) are on sale right now so if you’re planning on doing any food portioning & freezing anytime soon this is a great time to stock up and save a few bucks!
Though I’m still waiting for the Food saver vacuum sealer to go back on sale…
That’s right Wayne, it will be mine… Next time it’s on sale folks, oh yes, it will be. Then I can portion ALL of the things and freeze them without getting freezer burn!!!
While not on sale this week has anyone here tried these 2 types of Gnocchi?
The Oliveri brand has been there for quite a while, but on Friday I noticed the new Scoiattolo brand. Just curious if there’s a consensus as to which one is better. I mean anything stuffed with cheese can’t possibly be bad right?
The Braun thermoscan ear thermometer is on sale right now as well for $47.99
It was pretty well exactly one year ago that the COVID-19 situation brought things to a halt, and the panic buying was out of control.
Those in ear thermometers, actually ALL thermometers were as highly sought after as toilet paper, lysol wipes & N95 face masks! It wasn’t actually until I noticed that thermometers were sold out everywhere that I realized we didn’t actually have one in the house!
So much for being prepared right?
I think I finally managed to get my hands on one in May or June last year at a shoppers drug mart.
It’s really crazy to think that it’s been a whole year of this craziness… Also crazy how fast time has gone by.
“My plan now is to finish the Jim Henson biography (half done, semi-forgotten about but also fantastic!), and then the Billy Joel autobiography (started, then put on the shelf for no valid reason… I love Billy Joel’s music, so no good reason to not finish the book. Sorry folks, but I have no excuses for that one.)”
Ahem… So I finished the Jim Henson Biography 6 or 7 weeks ago finally. The Billy Joel book is on the bedside table right now, still not finished. I’m terrible! I know some people devour books like I devour Cheetos, I guess I just don’t fall into that category. Do any of you have any favorite books that you’ve read over the last year?
I think I’ll leave it at that folks, I hope you have a great week and enjoy your Costco-ing!
Cheers!
Here’s some great news for those of you who are 60-64 and looking to get your first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine! You’re able to book an appointment now to get it at select Costco pharmacies! Right now it’s only at 6 Costco locations in Ontario but it’s something! (Click this link to go to the booking page)
Since we are in the second wave of COVID-19 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.
So there you go, a little reading material for you.
Be kind, be safe and stay healthy!

Plus, the Foodsaver rolls from Costco work with this system.

Well welcome to the Costco family Martha!
I bought the vitamin D3 a month ago (when it wasn’t on sale) but for us that will last the entire year! Not a bad deal at all.
Stay safe and healthy and see you on Friday!
Where did the year go? We returned from a fab week in Mexico on March 14th to a changed world. Thank goodness we flew into Hamilton airport and managed to avoid the total chaos at Pearson, then voluntarily self isolated for 2 weeks. My usual stash of tp got us through! 😂
Thanks for your post, it’s added a few things to check out early early Thursday morning on my bi-weekly visit. I may even swing by IKEA on my way home to do some returns and hopefully avoid the looooong lineup 🤞
Cheers n chill, Jan
I remember you commenting about that!!! Crazy indeed Jan, and I’m sure you wish you were in Mexico now as well???
I miss IKEA, I’d like to go to an IKEA soon…
Cheers Jan, stay safe and healthy!
On reading: I’m more of a reader the past few years than when I was young, when everyone in my family read way more, and way faster, than I did. A few years ago I signed up for a yearly pledge to read at least 50 books. So far, I’ve made it each year and even read 70 books one year. (Yes, I’m retired!)
These days I’m reading lighter fare, as an escape from the constant underlying stress ansd anxiety of the pandemic. Last year I read the first 2 books in a series by Irish-Canadian author Patrick Taylor. The first is “An Irish Country Doctor” . I just finished the 4th and will start the 5th this week. They’re set in a fictional Northern Ireland village in the 60s (with some back-stories) and focus on the village doctor, his housekeeper, the young doctor who arrives to join the practice and all the characters in the village and around. I say “so far” because there are 15 books in the series so who knows what’s to come! I’m really enjoying all the stories within the stories and the characters, who are very human.
A book I read a few years ago was “Lion”, the true story that the movie of the same name was based on, starring Dev Patel. I saw the movie and was fascinated by the story of the 5-year-old boy who got lost so far from home in India that it took him until his 20s to figure out where he was from and find his family. I immediately bought the book to find out more. It is such an incredible story, in the true meaning of the word, and I highly recommend it.
70 books?!?! Holy moly, now I feel really lazy!
The Patrick Taylor books sound interesting for sure, perhaps I’ll give that a go as I could use some lighter fare in my life as well.
Thank you for sharing Susan, I look forward to reading those books and hopefully it’ll turn a few other people onto them as well.
Cheers, stay safe and keep consuming those novels!
Thanks again for doing this every week! You’re real trooper!
One question – do you know why I can’t see othere people’s comments until after I submit mine? Normally it’s not an issue but sometimes I comment on something and as soon as I submit it, I see someone else commented and so it’s a bit redundant. Just curious – anyoen else notice that or is it just me? 😉
I am horrible about reading too! I buy books with the best of intentions, and years later, there they sit, untouched and silently mocking me…
I also have a kobo, I load it up occasionally with library e-books, and when I finally get around to picking it up, they have all expired *sigh*
Jan, I hear you, last Feb 28th I came back form a wonderful 2 week trip in the bahamas to new found panic, uncertainty, mixed messages and cleared out stores… how things change so quickly!
Thank you for your work, a few new things added to my list if I can find the time to go! On nights for the rest of the week/weekend 🙁
Hey Jennifer! Yes the evenings are still the best time to go, very few people and easy to get in and out.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who isn’t great at reading the books!!!
Stay safe and healthy, hopefully our ST. Patrick’s day here is quiet!
Hi Abdul, we’ve had a few in the Kingston, ON. warehouse but not too many yet. I feel like they haven’t lasted too long on the floor either… Hot ticket item!
This household is a huge fan of the Olivieri gnocchi and that’s actually what’s for dinner tonight. We will be trying the Scoiattolo later this week and I’ll let you know how that goes. As always, thanks for your shopping tips and tricks , insight, pictures and humor.
Ha-ha! Don’t feel lazy – don’t forget I’m the one sitting around reading instead of doing more productive things! Plus, like Jennifer in Kingston, I also have stacks of books that sit around, surrounded by my best intentions – usually the non-fiction or heavy/darker ones. 😉
Well… We have some unread books as well, just not on my “need to read list” but “could be read at any point” list. Most are not the uhhh 50 shades of Costco or “heavy/dark” ones though… Too much of that in the day to day life!
Thank you for your weekly posts.
By the way, i buy the Oliveri brand gnocchi whenever they’re on sale (which is pretty often). It’s tasty and great for making a quick easy meal.
Thank you for reading Zabel, and thank you for the comment. I look forward to trying those little guys!
You missed me in your emails this week

Thank you, the vitamin D3 for 4.99 is the best deal ever. I almost buy them last week. I’m a new fan of yours

Does anybody know if any of the store has Bicycles? In Mississauga store they were sold within an hour.
