Amazingly yet another quiet day at the local warehouse, which I’m always OK with.
The Christmas/Holiday rush, pandemic or not, is always fun but the other end of it is pretty nice as well… You know the relaxing part?
Garfield has it figured out!
This was certainly a Holiday season like no other we’ve experienced, but we made it through have earned our hammock cocktails so sit back, relax and take a peek at some of the sales happening this new years week.
Pretty sweet looking sales this week, there are some that end mid-week or sooner though so please, please, please make sure if there is a specific item you want check the expiration date on the sale tag!
I would love to chat about a variety of things tonight folks but today (the 28th) is my birthday, my 40th!!!
And while Covid-19 has prevented any sort of party my partner and I had a nice (but chilly) outside visit with my Mother and Sister & then barely managed to get take-out ordered.
Mexican and Indian food are I believe my 2 favorite foods… (I think from growing up in Scarborough and then being in Southern California for 10 years, how could you not?)
I love Vindaloo (which is very very spicy and delicious) so I got the chicken Vindaloo, my partner ordered the veggie korma and we got cucumber raita, spicy onion salad, papadams (obviously, no Indian meal is complete without them!) & some basmati rice finished the deal.
We however live out of delivery range for a lot of businesses, and we kind of waited until the last minute to get food ordered because, well… we did… The guy my partner spoke to was the Chef/Owner, and was soooo nice and even though we were out of the delivery range for them he personally delivered the food to us, which was absolutely delicious by the way. He even included a special tasty desert for me (because someone said it was my birthday on the phone) Above and beyond folks!
(If you happen to live in the Kingston area I highly recommend you check out 1000 Curry!)
I think that’s a great reminder that local businesses are going to need our help right now, I can connect to the restaurant side of that obviously. So there’s never been a better time to pay it back to your favorite spots, or potential new favorite spots than now. Order delivery or take-out from the local restaurants if you can (directly if possible so you can also tip the staff working), get curb-side pick-up from small businesses if you can.
Speaking of paying it forward, Dexter is in need of some skritches & scratches that you have been providing in your comments folks so off I go!
Cheers, and see you soon!
Oh one last thing, a reader Nadine was wondering about…
“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.”
Anyone have any info on this???
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!
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.
***This is a fan run, independent page with no affiliation or endorsement by Costco Wholesale***
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!
P.S. I live near Trenton but I’ll check out the Indian restaurant next trip into Kingston. Fingers crossed a new Belleville Costco is still in the works.
Happy Birthday for yesterday.
Talking of age – I am a few years older than you – so yesterday headed over to 1 of my local Costco branches (I am in resonable distance of 3 branches) to take advantage of their senior hours (8am to 9am for seniors – over 60 and those with health issues and i think also emergency workers). Now while you cannot assess a persons age when they are wearing a mask as easily as when not – you still see enough of their face combined with overall body view to reasonably guess if they are under or over say 50. And Oh Boy – it was absolutely amazing how young looking so many of the ‘seniors’ in the store are looking these days.
Come on you young folks – play the game – Costco does this to increase the safety of us older and more vulnerable folks.
And while ranting about Covid safety in the stores – despite signs all over the store on how to wear a mask – the number of idiots who are walking around the store with the mask below their nose (and some even around their chin) is unbelievable. Now I get it – I do not like a mask either and it is most annoying when my glasses fog up. But those of you who are not wearing the mask properly – stop being so stupid and selfish.
And just BTW – pretty sure that none of this applies to the readers of this blog.
All the best for the New Year everyone
hahaha, it’s OK Robin… Everyone can rant here, I do it all the time! It’s too bad you don’t have to show ID for the early shopping hours… And the mask below the nose thing??? Dives me nuts!
Thank you for the birthday wishes, have a safe and happy new years!
Happy birthday week!
Thank you so much for everything you’ve done this year. These posts are a bright spot in my week, and although I rarely go into the store these days, I enjoy reading about the sales.
Happy New Year! Take care,
Marnie
Thanks for looking after us even on your birthday! As I recall, 40 was a great age. I hope your 40th year is wonderful. Happy Birthday & Happy New Year!!!
Thank you so much for all you do! And Happy Birthday! You share a birthday with my brother; my other half; and my cousin!!! Don’t worry-at 40; you’re the youngest!!
Hey ya kid…. happy belated birthday 🥳! Looks like I’m old enough to be yer mom 🙄lol.
Your celebratory dinner looks so yummy and I’ll bet the aroma was amazing! But I’m a big baby when it comes to anything Vindaloo!!! 😝😝
That top half of a turkey I roasted for dinner the other night was reallllly good! I even managed to put sage dressing underneath it. All very tender white meat plus enough drippings for gravy but then my husband says I could get gravy from a stone….
Cheers & thanks & stay safe eh?! Jan
Thank you for the birthday wishes Jan, and really age is just a number right? (and hair loss I guess…) You know when it comes to spice I’m the opposite, I love the heat so when it comes to vindaloo I say bring it on! Can you post pictures of the turkey on the comments? I’d love to see what you cooked up and the sage dressing sounds delicious but I will need you to tell me what’s in it so I can copy it! Also need to know your gravy secrets Jan!
Hi and belated happy birthday.
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)!
P.S. Happy New Year in advance — 2021 has to be better than 2020.
We are big fans of namaste and we were craving Indian the other night and ordered from 1000 islands instead. Beyond pleasantly surprised with the flavor and taste considering their prices are quite a lot lower than other Indian places in Kingston. 11/10 will 100% order again.
I could be wrong but I believe they also have a second location in Gananoque! For anyone else looking.
Happy Birthday!!!
Thank you very much Josee! Have a great new year!
