I know it’s not Sunday or a demolition derby, but Monday’s are just as exciting!
Well… For me they are!
I’m sure I’ve mentioned this a few times, but I do really, really, really enjoy doing this folks.
I enjoy going to Costco on Monday and Friday mornings. I enjoy doing my shop and taking pictures of everything. I enjoy the different things I see at Costco all the time & the seasonal shift in merchandise. I enjoy the hours of sitting and editing pictures while listening to music or a podcast. I love this part of it where I try and think of something to write to you all. And I love reading and replying to all of your comments!
I just thought I’d share all that with you again & thank you all for being a part of this awesome community, and a part of my life! (and Dexter and Ewok as well, they love all the extra scratches they get every week!)
So let’s not mess around and preview some of the goods shall we?
Actually I won’t, not tonight. It’s Monday folks! A day of sales, and the beginning of another great week!
Complete with Ewok attempting to thwart my work….
And then falling asleep while doing so….
I think he sat like that for at least a few minutes, I was being very still and moving really slow getting the camera up… He’s so cute!
I also made another batch of my Green hot sauce today as well! I’m very excited about it… It’s been almost a year since I made a batch, followed my recipe to the “T” and I’m very pleased!
My favorite sauce… Not to brag folks, but it’s pretty awesome! I made this when I was a line cook 12 years ago??? (maybe 13???) I’m so glad I kind of remembered the recipe for it because it’s awesome! It’s spicy but not too spicy (it doesn’t linger or build) plus it’s got a lot of ginger, garlic and cilantro in it to help balance the flavor out with the savory aspect. And the texture is something I’m proud of, I know that sounds odd however texture/mouthfeel is a big thing with food in general. I didn’t add xantham gum or any other thickeners to this, just cooked it down at various stages until I was happy with it.
I was cooking it with love.
I always joked that the secret ingredient in what I make is “love” but it’s true folks. When I was a cook, I loved doing what I did, I loved every order I made- and made it the way I would want to eat it and see it… I put love into it (As opposed to “I need to make another stupid chicken wrap, grumble grumble grumble”)
Food is visceral, it’s hitting all the senses, you should be pleased by ALL of the aspects about what you’re consuming (especially if you’re in a restaurant paying for it!!!)
This went farther than I expected… But I stand by my words & it translates to every other job too. If you love what you’re doing and put love and passion into it, the results will be amazing!
I know it’s kind of hard to think that the person making your blackened chicken wrap with fries 12 years ago was really wanting to do it 100% and make sure it was perfect, but it’s true.
I’m now blathering….
Indeed Elaine, I’ve gone on too long
it’s bed time. See you in a few days folks!
zzzzzz……… zzzzzzzzzzzzz………

Thanks for everything! I wonder if there’ll be a run on the Cashmere toilet paper on sale. Not for COVID-19 prepping, but for the cats to shred at night. 🙂
OMG Ewok, that face and pose! Such a cutie pie to supervise your work and not harming the tulips. I also have a black cat with a small patch of white fur on the chest, plus a hidden white patch on her belly. I think it’s these little imperfections that make them perfect.
Hi Bob, thank you for reading! The sauce is a slightly guarded secret, not like Area 51 by any means but my plans are to get it Co-packed and sold eventually… So kind of a bit of a secret!
Thank you so much for your blog – your blog helps me decide if this is a ‘Costco’ week.
Your sauce sounds amazing – i would love to make it too…any chance you would share the recipe? Please
Hi Susan, thank you for the support and comment! I can’t share all the details with you about the sauce, but perhaps soon I’ll be able to share it with you in a different medium.
Haha, thanks Tim and Wendy! I do the same, even if I’m only going in for 1 thing I’ll still walk the entire store… Though I think it’s more habit now than anything.
I love a good rainy day Jennifer, I’ll never complain about them! I know, Ewok was really funny last night, sitting right up on my mouse pad staring at me forever until he finally started passing out. Funny little guy!
Haha, thank you Carol. Ewok and Dexter appreciate the love as well. The sauce recipe is classified information… Sorry, but you need to be a cute cat like Ewok or Dexter to gain that level of clearance.
I think it’s hilarious that Ewok took a cat nap while trying to distract you from work. May be an indicator that you may have needed some shut eye too with all the work you do. Thank-you for all the hours you put into this. When you decide to package and sell your secret sauce, do let us know. I’d be happy to spice up my boring chicken wraps too. I hope you and your family stay healthy during this chaos.
Thank you Winnie! Yes I needed to get some rest as well, but I didn’t fall asleep sitting up unlike my kitty haha. I’ll absolutely keep you up to date with the sauce, and it is killer on chicken wings!!!
Ooooo the green sauce! I remember thinking the last time you posted it that I’d like to try to make some. Dare say you will share your recipe?
Thanks for posting— and as always love seeing pics of Ewok (and Dexter too!)
Have a great week and stay safe. 🙂
Hello there Carla! I hope you’ve had a good week. I always stay safe, I hope you do as well. As for the sauce, that my friend is a secret… I plan on bottling that at some point soon so, classified info! (unless you happen to be Dexter or Ewok.)
You’re welcome Shelley, thank you for reading and enjoying! As for the sauce recipe I won’t be making that public as I have future plans for it. (bottling and hopefully selling!!!) So I’m keeping that one a secret. But I’ll share the progress of the label making!
Just wondering… What’s the toilet paper situation like at the Kingston location? A few days ago not a square-to-spare (another Seinfeld fan ova’ here) in the Pointe-Claire and Vaudreuil (Montreal) locations and some very furrowed brows and blank stares when I inquired about future deliveries. Totally out of toilet paper, paper towels and kleenex.
Hey Bob, as of Monday we still had Cashmere in stock but none of the Kirkland brand… Lot’s of paper towels though! Everyone seemed to be calm though and not going bananas which is good, how are the people reacting where you’re at?
Thanks so much for everything you do. Our closest Costco is 9 1/2 hrs away so when we go down south we look your site up.
Since you’ve been at this for awhile outdoor you remember when the Premier Protein come on special ( every month, 2 months, 3 months etc)? I try and get someone to go for me as Costco no longer ships to my area. Thanks in advance.
Hi Marlene! That is one heck of a commute! The Premier protein doesn’t go on sale that often, so if I were to guess I’d say every 3-4 months. The bars were on sale last year early june, as for the shakes I can’t seem to find it in the archives… I’ll keep looking though!
Thanks again for all your hard work!! I haven’t been to Costco for a while so I really need to stock up. Glad some of my favourite items are on sale, love that Boursin cheese. Going to try the Kirkland 6 yr. old cheese as well. Hope the other shoppers have left me one package of toilet paper, I prefer the Kirkland brand as opposed to Cashmere. They are bigger, thicker, softer rolls. Cashmere has really shrunk their’s down.
Stay safe everyone! Warnings are getting more and more serious! Take care 🙂
Hi Layla Bay, as always it’s a pleasure! I actually cracked into a box of the Boursin last night and ate half of it… Whoops! As I’m at Costco so frequently I’m pretty stocked up on the T.P. but it seems as though everyone is in a little bit of a… Let’s call it cautious mood these days? I think it’s important to remain calm and do the things we should normally be doing, cough into the elbow, wash hands properly and upping the game by sanitizing hands and surfaces is key as well. After filling the gas tank, using a pin pad, handling cash etc. I’m remaining cautiously optimistic that as a whole we can contain this thing!
Hello, me again, just had to share this. I had to go to Loblaws to pick up a prescription. I checked the price of the Boursin cheese, it was $9.99 for ****one box****
Costco’s price is 2 for $5.99, which is $3.oo a box!! So for every box of Boursin you purchase at Costco on sale, you are saving a whopping $7.00 !!!!!
Does this freeze well? One small example of the savings at Costco. Important thing to note, this was not listed in the Costco items on sale, we only found out about it because of your awesome secret sales post and blog. Walking the store every Monday and painstakingly putting it all together for us. A million Thank You’s !!!
Thank you as always Layla Bay! I feel like in the past we have frozen the Boursin cheese, but I really can’t recall how well it did… Sounds like an experiment to me! I mean it’s a ridiculous deal really, and it’s so deicious!
Hey up there from down here in Puerto Morelos Mexico….. the weather’s great, not too hot or humid. ☀️ Maybe I should bring home some t.p. along with the 2 litres of Jack Daniels? Adios from Juanita in Waterdown 😁
Ahhh very jealous Jan! Though you may want to get home sooner than later or you’ll stuck down there on the beach! (though that may not be the worst place to be stuck!)
Thank you so much for doing this. I’ve been following you on here for a while now but never get to commented. And I must say because of you I am going to costco every week almost and spend money lol. You’re doing an awesome job for so many of us. I just want to say this is awesome what you’re doing. Thanks agian
Thank you so much for commenting Stephanie! I hope as much as you are at Costco you’re saving money as well! I’m glad you enjoy, keep coming back and commenting!

My pleasure Ester, thank you for reading and commenting!
Thank you for your hard work. How do you make the sauce? It looks so delicious. I understand if you can’t share the recipe if it’s a family secret 🙂
Hi Bob, thank you for reading! The sauce is a slightly guarded secret, not like Area 51 by any means but my plans are to get it Co-packed and sold eventually… So kind of a bit of a secret!
Can we get your Green hot sauce recipe please?
Hey Blynn, any luck at some point in the slightly distant future you could buy it! My plans are to get it co-packed and try and sell it.
Thank you so much for your blog – your blog helps me decide if this is a ‘Costco’ week.
Your sauce sounds amazing – i would love to make it too…any chance you would share the recipe? Please
Hi Susan, thank you for the support and comment! I can’t share all the details with you about the sauce, but perhaps soon I’ll be able to share it with you in a different medium.
Please share your green sauce recipe!
Hi Maureen, thank you! I can’t share the full recipe, it’s a semi-secret mix that I’ve worked on and plan on bottling!
Won’t go to Costco until I check your post. Thank you so much!
Thank you Carmen, I’m glad you read and enjoy!
As always, thanks for doing this! We map out our Costco visit every week from this site, then end up doing every aisle anyway! Ha ha!
Haha, thanks Tim and Wendy! I do the same, even if I’m only going in for 1 thing I’ll still walk the entire store… Though I think it’s more habit now than anything.
Merci pour tout. Moi aussi, je regarde votre visite avant de me déplacer au Costco. Vous êtes très très charitable.
Votre chat est super beau.
Merci de votre visite chez nous a chaque semaine.
Merci d’avoir lu et soutenu!
Again thank you
My pleasure Sara, thank you for reading and enjoying!
taking a quick break from work to check out your blog and I literally laughed out loud at Ewok sitting up asleep! Adorable!!!
Sure am glad you like doing these as they are very helpful!!
Have a good (rainy) day
I love a good rainy day Jennifer, I’ll never complain about them! I know, Ewok was really funny last night, sitting right up on my mouse pad staring at me forever until he finally started passing out. Funny little guy!
Will you be posting your hot sauce recipe or is it a tightly guarded secret? 🙂
Hey Rocca, not a tightly guarded one, but a secret none-the-less.
Thank you for all the hard work you do.
Love your cat too!
Thank you Patricia for reading and commenting. Ewok loves the extra attention so feel free to send it anytime!
Thank you for keeping us appraised of the deals. Much appreciated.
My pleasure Wanda, thank you for reading and supporting!
Really enjoy your furbabies (and you).
Will you share your recipe for your green hot sauce? Sounds wonderful.
Have a great week.
Haha, thank you Carol. Ewok and Dexter appreciate the love as well. The sauce recipe is classified information… Sorry, but you need to be a cute cat like Ewok or Dexter to gain that level of clearance.
Loved this post . Beautifully said .
Thank you!
*haha* that’s awesome, making food with love – you’re a real life Spongebob! …or at the very least, a kindred spirit
It’s true Sharon! Love is the secret ingredient in so many foods.
I think it’s hilarious that Ewok took a cat nap while trying to distract you from work. May be an indicator that you may have needed some shut eye too with all the work you do.
