Hello and happy Friday Costco friends and Family!
…Of course a few days after I post the sound bar prices one of them goes on sale… Figures right?
I’ve actually had my eye on this one, and would like to know what you all think, or if any of you own this one?
The Samsung A50C 380 Watt soundbar with wireless subwoofer is on sale for $50.00 off @ $249.99. Kind of right in the price range I want at the moment, but I haven’t heard it yet. The display model wasn’t working properly and the Employee was busy with another customer so I figured I’d wait until Monday. In the mean time, reviews would be great!
As you should all know by now I love anything Kitchen related, so walking by the Cutco display was very enticing and I had to stop and chat with the rep. and try out all of the goods. They will be here in Kingston until Sept. 26th, so we’ve got plenty of time to check out and try the knives etc.
I say “knives etc.” because they have scissors and a veggie peeler as well. Maybe something that would be overlooked, right? And to be honest looking at a price of $149.99 for a pair of scissors and a veggie peeler you might think…
(the answer is of course, yes)
Diving in a little deeper to the products, and the history you’ll find the answer is, maybe not.
All of their products are produced in London, ON or New York. They feel substantial and the knives are made with the same amount of metal in the tang as the blade giving them awesome balance. The veggie peeler peels like a dream in both directions, so I cleared a carrot at the display in about 5 seconds. (This may have a little bit more of a limited use for the every day kitchen however.)
I did try out the Santoku, the scissors (cutting through leather, and a penny with ease. Though I have no real need to cut coins… I’d rather use them as currency personally) the peeler, the cheese knife and the serrated blades. I will admit they all felt amazing, well balanced, sharp (duh!) sliced and diced easily (I think the guy was a little impressed with my knife skills to be honest so I’ll pat myself on the back).
Again, the prices are a little steep, but if you’re serious about your kitchen ware then I would say absolutely check these blades out as they are at least worth a look and a feel. (Also their forever guarantee, including free sharpening and replacement, is something to think about as well when considering the price.) For more information on Cutco follow this link!
Moving past the kitchen stuff, here’s a few more sales from this weekend.

Those Seville Tower fans are always a hit, especially when they’re on sale for 10.00 off!
The small footprint is perfect for placing in the corner of the room without taking up precious floor space, and they still move a lot of air quietly which is a big perk for me. The “natural” or “multi-speed” setting it has is kind of neat as it fluctuates the fan speed so it feels more like “natural” breezes. However functional this setting may or may not be as a fan, I will say that as a sleep aid, it works for me.
Sleep aid huh? I think it’s time to do that right now folks. You’ve got plenty of new items and sales to check out below, you certainly don’t need me rambling on about fans, knives and soundbars.
keep scrolling for the goods folks, and as always.
Stay Calm, and Costco on!

As we’re easing into Fall 2021 and the potential 4th 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.

Costco Weekend Update sales Sept 17th – 19th 2021
Um so is $1399.00 accurate for a set of knives?
Yes it is, for a 20 piece set of domestically made professional grade knives with a lifetime warranty and free sharpening (for life as well) it’s an investment well worth making. (In my opinion, but I also love all things cooking/kitchen related)
Bought our 35 plus years ago. Best knives we have ever had. We had several other high priced sets but this are the absolute best.
Received Prana deluxe trail mix as a gift. Purchased from Costco Kingston. It was infested with bugs! Returned to store by purchaser, incident report completed, no follow-up and product is still on the shelves
So I wasn’t fully awake and my reading comprehension was suspect. I thought at first the whole knife set was $150 and I immediately went into “NO NO NO at that price, they’re crap quality” 🙄! I’m not familiar with that brand but I do know when it comes to knives, you get what you pay for. However I would never need that many different ones…. a good chef’s knife and a paring knife meet most of my needs. That and a husband who runs off to his workshop to keep them in fine fettle on a regular basis works for me!
Cheers, Jan
My husband bought the Homemaker Set back in the 1980’s when he was still single. One of his friends were selling them door to door. We are still using them to this day and have bought other knives and scissors to add to the set. The lifetime warranty is what they say it is. The tip on one of our knives broke and they replaced it free of charge. They sharpen them whenever you want. If you have accidentally thrown one out in the garbage, they will sell you a replacement for half the price. If you want to change the size of your wooden block, you pay half price if you give them your old block. I love my knives! These knives have been the best investment my husband ever made.
I wouldn’t take these knives if they were given to me. These are the equivalents to door-to-door encyclopedia and vacuum-cleaner salesmen wares. Yes, they’re “robust” (heavy for their size), and yes they’re “shiney” (if that floats your boat),,,, but GOOD LUCK trying to re-sharpen these things. These are the “Tupperware” of the knife world. I have knives by Swilling, Wusthof, Victorinox, plus Shun, MAC, and Miyabi Japanese knives, and sharpen with 14-15 Japanese water-stones from Shapton and Naniwa, plus a water-cooled low-RPM grinder from Tormek, and I’ve been sharpening knives for over 50 years. Bottom line, stay away. Cutco is all about “marketing”. Even at 80% off I wouldn’t buy them.
I purchased a set of those succulents today, they are marked down to $14.97 at my location.
I remember graduating from university and these folks would come and try recruit you to sell these knives door to door. I did the training but never went ahead to sell … Seriously as a college grad I wouldn’t know anyone who would want to buy expensive knives. I do remember these were very well made and they cut through things very well. Probably gonna take a look next time in I go to Costco.
Just a wee comment about the Cutco knives. Before you buy them you want to find out where the sharpening is done. Someone I know had to take them to the US to be sharpened. I forgot how they got them there, I think a friend lived there. Getting them back was a bigger problem as they are considered a weapon. Perhaps now they sharpen them in Canada. It was a long time ago.
