I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, as strange and distanced as they may have been.
We had a great day, slept in (of course!) and had a nice (but cold!) outdoor visit with my Mom and Sister. Then cooked up a delicious meal.
Cast Iron skillet seared Branzino, roasted potatoes & onions topped with chimichurri. My god was it every good!
Of course, Costco never rests and Boxing day is always a fun day to go to any store (insert eye roll here) So off I went not really sure what to expect. To my surprise it was actually really quiet, the parking lot was pretty empty and I had plenty of room to cruise the aisles without having to dodge other customers. It was a treat!
Here’s just a little peek at a few of the boxing day sales I saw.
Of course I couldn’t help but have this catch my eye.
The Cangshan forged knife & block 17 piece set is on sale for $50 off @ $179.99 which isn’t bad for a set like this, especially if you’re OCD and like things to match in your kitchen.
I’m more of Henckel person, though I will say I’ve used a Japanese style chef knife before and it was pretty darned sweet! The blade has a bit of a different shape to it making precise cutting way easier, there’s a neat website here that list all of the differences between the two blade types here.
I resisted temptation, as most of you know I also don’t need any more gadgets in the kitchen… Yet…
Anyways I’ll let you get browsing folks, we have to get ready for a Zoom family Boxing day cocktail…. I never would’ve thought that would be a thing, but these are strange times.
Merry Christmas folks, happy shopping!
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!

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.

Must admit I am feeling really conflicted about big retailers, who have been deemed essential, having sales on products we don’t need right now, while other retailers are required to survive on curbside service. Don’t get me wrong, I love my big C and think they’ve done an amazing job with Covid protocols so far. And I know it provides jobs which feed families and contributes to the economy. I’m just not sure folks should be out there shopping during lockdown. Is there something I’m missing? I really don’t want to come across all judgmental because I do appreciate this blog sooo much, I’m just very concerned. Thank you for all you do.
Take care and stay safe! Jan
How ironic my partner and I were just talking about this very same thing. We both feel the same, and there’s an internal conflict for me as well…
And don’t worry Jan, this is a judgement free zone here!
Thank you (insert your name here 😉) for relating to my conundrum. Life ain’t never simple eh?
Cheers n chill, Jan
Oh and btw, I’m roasting that Kirkland top half of a turkey right now for dinner (too damn lazy yesterday) so I’ll let you know the results 🦃 🥔 🥕
Thanks for the uupdate. Not planning any shopping trips for a while – too pooped out from Christmas – but wanted to say happy new year and thanks for keeping us all up-to-date on all things Costco!
Thank you very much Susan! I agree, the holiday season can be a bit draining but right now is a prefect time to be saying home as much as possible anyhow right? So perfect timing!
Does anyone know if the St. John’s Costco has any/still carries triangle shaped coffee filters (as opposed to the basket ones)? They used to sell a pack of …. hundreds. They lasted a long time. I haven’t seen them lately and I need to replenish. Maybe they switched the location.
Thanks.

“In response to Nadine’s question about triangle coffee filters I can say the following. In Ottawa stores, the filters are available in the disposable dinnerware section; paper plates, napkins., paper cups, etc. They sometimes put them on an upper shelf where they are not so easy to see. Alternatively, ask at the Service Desk where they can tell you if they have the filters and where to look. They sell them in a plastic bag of 600 (3 packs of 200 filters) — they are great and cheap (I paid $7.99 for 600 filters last April)!”
Any exercise bikes in store?
Haven’t seen any yet Candice, but I’ll keep my eyes peeled!
