I feel like the weather will eventually have to catch up with the month, and eventually I’ll be able to get some gardening done… Or at least started! Though I did get a hanging strawberry plant the other day so I guess that’s something, though I would like to get some hot peppers going, jalapenos to be specific. I’d love a batch of mid-summer homemade/homegrown picked jalapenos, so lets go sunshine and warm weather!
Tomorrow is my partners birthday so we are going on a day trip to Toronto, so I’ve been looking at a bunch of different restaurants to go to… Hopefully eat our way across the city and back! We decided to take the train so we will have no responsibilities on the way there or back so look out Toronto! Anyone have any recommendations for good food spots? There’s a few we love, but I”m always looking for different places and I’d love to hear yours! (I’ll check the comments tomorrow on our way in to see if you have any for me)
A few favorites.
Barrio Corriano is one I’d like to visit again, Korean/Mexican fusion…Oh god the chicken kampungi tacos here dynamite!!! We ate here before going to see Shadowy Men from a Shadowy Planet a few years ago at Lee’s palace, they are a fantastic surf/rock band. All instrumental. Great driving music, and even better cooking music!
El Catrin in the distillery district is another favorite, great fresh guac and fish tacos!
Le Papillon on Front is a great French spot, at least the brunch had there was fantastic. (the onion soup was amazing obviously)
So yes, I’ll be eating a lot of food tomorrow I hope and I will take lots of pictures and hopefully have plenty to tell you about next week!
Thank you all for your advice and thoughts on the Google chromecast, I really appreciate it! From what I”m gathering I don’t think I’ll be getting one right now, but it seems like it could come in handy in the future. We do stream Netflix quite a bit so that would be good, but we also watch a lot of news and other channels that we couldn’t nessecarily just stream online. Maybe downgrade our cable package but keep the basic news stuff? I don’t know, I love the food network, the history channel, and the discovery channel too much… Hard to give those ones up!
Lot’s of executive member sales on this week, and I have no clue what happened to my coupon book… That goat cheese made it into the cart regardless, but somewhere is a discount I could have used. hmmmm….
A few notable executive member sales. (you’ll need the coupons here folks)
Also, Natrel butter is $3.99/lb @ the Kingston, ON. warehouse.
Some Kingston, ON. meat sales
I think I should get those burgers… I probably should, right? I mean Grilling season is here… You’re right, I should get ’em. Done & done! I suppose it’d be a good time to crank up and burn off the grill, get it ready for the season and I suppose make sure that the tank has something left in it.
As the summer season approaches I will make sure to snap some pictures of our local garden center offerings, I’m just waiting for there to be a bit more of a variety to share with you. Just bear in mind if I do share garden center pictures with you that the products and availability vary from location to location, so if you see something you want call ahead and check inventory levels!
On that note, time to go. Dinner is leftovers tonight but they gotta get heated up! Simple pasta sauce, cherry tomatoes cut in half, a whole onion, garlic, Italian seasoning and of course salt and pepper. Super easy and quick, but man ‘o man was it good! And it will be again, so…
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!
I didt receive them either … when I asked about this at Costco, they said that they were sent late and that they would honour the coupons even if you didn’t have them. That was at the Kingston Costco.
Thanks.. I was wondering as we haven’t received ours either. I may give my local Costco a call first as I definitely wanted to grab a box of the pacific bold coffee and $8 is quite a savings.
Thanks for all the info as usual. Yes, gardening and BBQing coming up this month. Can’t wait. Have a good trip in T.O. Get a bacon on a bun at St. Lawrence market of course. You know they are the best!
Have you ever tried the reatairant C’est What on Front at Church? It’s always been one of my favourites. If you are heading more north, Smith on Church is also very good (same owners as 7 West Cafe)
Thank you for this weeks blog – I was so disappointed when there were only 10 advertised sales. Need to track down my Exec coupons.
Did anyone receive the Executive Member coupons yet? Seems strange Costco would start a promotion without mailing the coupons. We’ll see if they honour the deals without the coupons. Thanks for your informative walk through Costco every week.
Just got my coupons today in the mail. Knowing Costco, they will honour them without any fuss.
Just had wonton soup for supper, made with those Bibigo chicken and cilantro mini wontons. I keep a bag in the freezer for those times when I can’t think what to make. I simmer (8 per person) them in chicken broth with some slivered red peppers, green onions, leftover cooked rice, fresh ginger, a bit of soy sauce, sesame oil and a shot of sriracha. They’re also very tasty sautéed with the same ingredients and served over rice… yum!
Hope you have a great time in T.O.! Ooops, almost forgot to thank you again ?
Thank you so much!
You save us money every week!
Good evening/morning, stayed up late waiting for your interesting post.
Thank you very mush for all your hard work!!!
We all greatly appreciate it!!! 🙂
***** DON’T FORGET *****
The last day to file your 2018 income taxes is April 30, 2019 – TODAY !!!
much, not mush, lol, I’m tired :-)zzzzz
Thanks for taking pictures of the Executive specials too. We just upgraded and we’re not sure its worth it yet…
Keep up the great work!
They tell me if I don’t reach the amount to break even they would refund me the difference. Just an FYI!
Does anyone know when the coupons arrived? I don’t remember getting any in the mail

Thanks! I’m in Kingston too.
Received mine on Monday
I got them on April 29th
Thank you so much, for your interesting intros, cat pics, and Costco updates. All greatly appreciated!
So kind of you to do this. Especially helpful for those who can’t get to Costco frequently.
The “Executive Member Exclusive” signs that are marked with the Kirkland K-Cups coffee… do i need a coupon to get the $8 off promotion?

Just checked with the London store and they said all the cashiers have photocopies of the coupons. They said they would honor them at checkout.
We don’t have the Tom’s toothpaste in the Quebec locations 🙁
Thanks again for all your efforts. So enjoy reading your blog and appreciate all the info regarding specials etc. Enjoy your day in Toronto.

Thanks a bunch… look forward to your post.
My executive coupons don’t arrive either. When I ask about it in the store they say I can use their coupons.
Thanks you have a wonderful blog 🙂
The men’s and women’s rain suits are selling here in N.B. for $69.97. Guess we don’t get the sale.
