Well today is the day I get my birthday present Costco fanatics!
We’re off to see the Toronto Maple leafs! And by the time you all read this the game will be over and hopefully the leafs are the victors!!! (to be clear, they were not… the seats were awesome though!!!)
I did however manage to sneak into Costco this morning first thing and do my shopping and get all the sweet deals for you such as…
THESE SALES!!!
Canada post stamps – 81.45 for 100 stamps. At the request of a reader I put these up here. Thanks for suggesting I do that Tim and Wendy!
It was a busy morning, Costco shopping, packing a bag or two, making sure the cats were OK, then it was in the Escape and Go! I did however use the time on the road to do my editing of the sales… (and be the Spotify D.J. The Bee Gees were played of course.)
Never done that before, but it certainly made the trip seem a lot shorter! And I do have to say I’ve been enjoying heading out to Costco 1st thing in the morning lately ( I guess the last 4 posts have all been done on busy holiday days and well today isn’t a holiday per say but it’s technically my birthday again today… So that counts as a holiday, I think anyways!), the morning vibe in Costco is a bit different than say the 1:30-2:00 vibe. or especially the 5:00 vibe.
Speaking of the holidays, we took our Christmas tree down on Sunday… And really, it was time… I mean, I think if I shook it for a few minutes it would have turned to powder and vanished. Instead of that I struggled to get 6 strings of lights off of it and was left with the spoils of war.
It’s like it had a beard, and then I cut it off… Should’ve made a wreath out of that. Next year… next year…
Well As I said we were in Toronto for the Leafs game (that didn’t go well, but man it was so much fun!!!) We also ate at a fantastic Mexican place called La Carnita, which indeed was fantastic, but super busy… Reservations recommended for sure. Then after the game we went to a jazz bar called the Rex where my partner worked maybe 15 or 16 years ago. It was awesome! There was a fantastic jazz band playing actual good jazz music, and we caught up with an old friend who still managed the place… Good music, good company and good martinis… The suicide wings though, meh… They were perhaps a “hot wing” by other standards. But that’s ok, I have pretty high heat standards.
The night has now ended, we took the subway back to Union Station and are now settling into the hotel room (that we changed twice for various reasons)… I feel like the leafs did in the 3rd period, done… we’re done, pack ‘er up and get to bed. Actually that sounds like a plan!
Good night from Toronto folks!
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.
The food brands available can differ from region to region. Pictures are taken at a store in Ontario. Sale items should apply to Costco locations in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Nova Scotia, if the item is in stock at your store. There will likely be a few deals not shown here in your store. If this blog has helped you save money, consider sharing www.cocoeast.ca with your friends and family! If you see deals at your store that aren’t on this blog, post them in the comments and help spread the money saving love!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU DAWN!!!!
Thank you so much for you support and birthday wishes, I’m glad you enjoy the blog and hopefully get some good time and money savings out of it… And enjoy seeing my cats.. Because they are cute!
Cheers!
Well I’m glad you had a great adventure for your birthday. It should be proclaimed as a holiday, but then Costco would have been closed and we would have to wait an extra day for the sales – that’s just unacceptable 😉
I guess you should have had a spoiler alert for the game. Oh, wait! It was a Leafs game so no spoiler alert required. The results of their games are well… predictable. Lol
I’m sorry to hear that you had so many room swaps. It’s no fun when all you want to do is get settled after traveling. I hope you managed to squeeze a discount for your troubles.
Posting the stamps is a great idea for 2 reasons;
One: They are lower than street value. A roll bought at a Canada Post outlet will cost 85$. Two: The price will be going up this month (as of the 14th) so seeing as they are permanent stamps they will not lose any value.
Did you happen to catch the cost of butter?
After all that I want to personally wish you a very happy birthday and thank you profusely for your hard work and efforts that go into producing this blog. It’s very appreciated.
Well first off thank you so much for your kind words, and birthday wishes Janet! I really appreciate it, and am glad that you enjoy the blog and the saving involved!
Second… Yes, the Leafs lost… HOWEVER, I feel that being 3rd in the league right now is pretty awesome, AND perhaps having both main goaltenders in the lineup would’ve helped quite a bit. Far from predicable I think (can you tell I’m a leafs fan?!) That being said, they do need an upgrade on defense and to move Hainsey and bring Justin Holl in perhaps… But that situation needs dealing with.
Third, who is you team Janet???
A distant fouth, butter was 3.99/lb in Kingston, ON.
Cheers!!!
Thanks A! Thank you for reading and for the support AND the Birthday wishes. (my birthday was on Dec. 28th but my gift was this game/trip) But yes, Costco doesn’t sleep… Nor do the sales, so it keeps me busy for sure! But as long as people are saving time and money with great sales I’m ok with that!
Well thank you very much for the support Jenna! I have a great time doing this and look forward to the comments every week! Hope to see you here again!
Nevertheless, it’s still THE best bottled marinara sauce available, imho…. but apparently, according to my dear husband, I’ve never had a humble opinion in my life! It is so versatile, doesn’t have that “commercial” taste and the ingredients list is decent.
I’ve noticed this everywhere in the past few months, not just Costco. Items like this were on sale for quite a few cycles and then continue being on sale from a higher price. The “sale” price ends up being what we are used to paying regularly. I’ve never noticed it before but it’s been glaringly obvious and far spread this time!
Thank you Christine, it was a great night regardless of the loss. (though a win would’ve been better obviously!) It’s been a great year so far for me, and as for the leafs… I’m sure they will be just fine! Thank you for the birthday wishes!
Happy Birthday!
Today’s post means a trip into Costco this afternoon.
Thank you so much for what you do. I’m amazed and thrilled with your willingness to do this.
Hey Karen, thank you so much for the birthday wishes! (we had a great day/night/day in Toronto!) I love doing this each week, and knowing that it helps people save time and money means a lot to me. Also we have a great CocoEast community building here which is pretty special to me! I look forward to seeing your comments here again soon!
Thank you for taking the time to find all the the discounted items at Costco. My son found your website and passed it on to me. Since my wife is quite ill, I now do all the shopping which I do not enjoy very much. Your list is a great help to me reducing the time i need to spend in the store. Thanks again.
Hello Don! That’s great! I’m glad you have found the site and also glad it helps you get your list together, never a bad thing to have a plan in place to save time and money right?! Thank you for reading and for your support!
FYI – NukNuuk’s are a great steal at $6.97 however, Ajax location has them sold out since their original price was $40. Markham has few left at $14.97.
Thank you for your support and the birthday wishes Mao (I had a great day!), I hope you’ve had a great week so far and look forward to seeing you here next week as well!
Hi Cessna, yes the Garmin watch is a clearance item, and so won’t be restocked. (the little asterisk is barely visible due to my poor photography on that one)
Hello Flo, Thank you for pointing that out to the Peterborough members! Please refer to the F.A.Q. to the answer as to why that is (I’ve pasted the text below)
Q. I saw an item for sale on your page, but it is not on sale in my local store? Why is that?
A. While most sale items are consistent throughout Eastern Canada, some sale items will vary by store. Your local Costco’s price will always take precedent over the prices posted on this website. Also, any items on the blog that end in ‘.97’ means the item is on a manager’s clearance. These ‘.97’ items are store dependent. If you are interested in one of these products you can check with customer service or phone ahead with the item number to see if any of the items is available at a nearby warehouse!
Thank you Susan! It’s my pleasure, and thank you for the birthday wishes! (though my birthday was Dec.28th the leafs game was the gift) I had plenty of cake though, but… I can always have more cake, if need be.
We bought 200 stamps (more than we need) but the price is going up Jan. 14 and never seems to go down. They are “permanent”, so now we have a multi-year supply. Ha ha. Keep up the good work!
I’m new to Costcoeast…. WOW…. what an amazing service you are doing to us Costco fanatics.
I will definitely be following you weekly – you are so kind to do this. I’ve made my list ( and i am in total agreement that White Linen is the best Marinara sauce – going to stock up for sure)
looking forward to next week. Cheers!
Gawd I love it when folks agree with me!! ? I used it just last night for dinner…. sauteed onions, red pepper, mushrooms then added small chunks of boneless skinless chicken breast, thyme, poured some sauce over that with a spoon of pesto, covered the pan and simmered until the pasta was done, served with parm petals, some chardonnay of course and voila! a tasty quick supper!
Hey there.
Thanks for squeezing in the Costco run with your busy day and drive to Toronto. You are the best!
And of course, Happy Birthday (again) and I’m really happy you saw a Leafs game.
Thank you for posting this! I look forward to it religiously! Just a note, I notice some of the pictures appearing in Facebook groups without any credit to you so have you considered watermarking your pics?
Hey RS, thank you for reading and for your support! I’ve seen those as well on a few different small groups. Generally not too concerned about it, some of them have started referencing the blog as well. Thank you for the heads up though!
I’m a tad late to the game here, but I definitely want to send my belated congratulations on your b-day! Sounds like your partner gave you a great treat and knows exactly what you like… good on her! I need to zing out to Costco today and maybe I’ll try the morning vibe since I usually go mid afternoon to miss the early afternoon (ole folks who think free samples are a meal) crowd yet avoid the coming home from work gang (who are cranky and in a hurry)…. hmmmm, wonder what group I’m in? There’s a whole psychology to shopping…. don’t get me started…. oooops, too late! ?
Hey Jan, thank you for the birthday wishes! She does indeed know what I like! I highly recommend the early shopping, either that or later on in the evening… way more relaxed!
Was my birthday too yesterday January 7th. Happy birthday!!!!!! I always look forward to your posts. Great job.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU DAWN!!!!

Happy belatexBirthday ?
Thank you Miri! It was a great night and fun to have that game to look forward to. Thank you for your support and birthday wishes!
Prices keep going up at Costco! The White Linen sauce used to be 10.99 and would go on sale for 8.99.
Nevertheless, it’s still THE best bottled marinara sauce available, imho…. but apparently, according to my dear husband, I’ve never had a humble opinion in my life! It is so versatile, doesn’t have that “commercial” taste and the ingredients list is decent.

Happy Birthday! Happy you had a birthday celebration With the Leafs! Sad they didn’t win! Hope this is a great year for you! And the Leafs! Lol
Thank you Christine, it was a great night regardless of the loss. (though a win would’ve been better obviously!) It’s been a great year so far for me, and as for the leafs… I’m sure they will be just fine! Thank you for the birthday wishes!

I also want to thank you for your hard work. How do you resist all the sales !!! Happy Birthday.
Thank you very much Glenda for the support and for the birthday wishes! Also, I don’t always resist the sales… My will power is not impenetrable!

Hey thanks for the info B! And thank you for the Birthday wishes and support!
I just paid $14.97 for them in Dartmouth, NS last night. Still a great deal, but 6.97? WOW!!!
Sorry the Leaf’s lost yesterday. Hope you still had a good birthday.
Hahaha, thanks Gary… We had a fantastic time regardless, obviously a win would’ve been good but hey, still had a blast!
What Store is this? Just because the clearence items are not available in every store.
Thanks
Hey there Joey, I took these pictures at the Kingston, ON. location.
Happy Birthday!!! Thank you for your hard work 🙂

Any reason you had the pic of the Garmin watch?
Hi Cessna, yes the Garmin watch is a clearance item, and so won’t be restocked. (the little asterisk is barely visible due to my poor photography on that one)
Attention Peterborough Costco shoppers: the Schick Xtreme Razors 24 pack are not showing the sale price and they are not honoring the sale price.
Hello Flo, Thank you for pointing that out to the Peterborough members! Please refer to the F.A.Q. to the answer as to why that is (I’ve pasted the text below)

Thank You for walking the store for us…..Happy Birthday to you ……wish l could buy you a cake ?????
Thank you Susan! It’s my pleasure, and thank you for the birthday wishes! (though my birthday was Dec.28th the leafs game was the gift) I had plenty of cake though, but… I can always have more cake, if need be.
Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to do this for everyone! Love this so much. Helps me plan out my day. Have a great week!!!
Happy Birthday a bit late! Thank you for posting this each week. I love to go prepared so I am not wondering if I should but an item on sale or not.
We bought 200 stamps (more than we need) but the price is going up Jan. 14 and never seems to go down. They are “permanent”, so now we have a multi-year supply. Ha ha. Keep up the good work!

If I bought the sheets just before Christmas, do you think they would give me the difference back? Anyone know the time length they usually honour?
They told me they will do multiple price adjustments within 30 days, so long as they have the item in the warehouse to sell.
I’m a tad late to the game here, but I definitely want to send my belated congratulations on your b-day! Sounds like your partner gave you a great treat and knows exactly what you like… good on her!

Thank you Christine! You are the one that’s awesome though! Thanks for reading and your support.
Hey there, thanks for all you do! To readers in the GTA, have you seen the Kodiak mix anywhere? I’ve looked at the Rast Markham store, no luck. 🙁
Is there a report of this week Jan 14-
I did not get it? ?

Hi Donna, the post did go up last night for the 14th – 21st however our server had a power outage so it was down for a little bit.
It is up and running now though at https://cocoeast.ca/costco-canada-east-secret-sale-items-jan-14th-jan-21st-2019-ontario-quebec-atlantic-canada/
