So, remember when I said this in the weekend update post regarding The Type S portable jump kit?
“Now at first glance it doesn’t really look like it could jump start much more than a laptop or a smartphone (since it’s maybe the size of 3 large phones) But it claims to be able to boost your car or minivan so…”
Allow me to finish setting the table here, I’m a little hungry and am about ready to eat my words.
It would appear it works!
This is both a good thing and a bad thing, you see I had no juice on Sunday morning (since it was like -27!!!) so I brought my new little friend out to meet the Ford Escape.
Pretty simple instructions, plug in the booster cables and hit the power button at which point the screen tells you to connect the cables to your battery.
Once you do that it tells you you’re good to start your engine. Which I did, and yes it started!
However, today was more the same though, -25 degrees and no juice in the battery… So I brought the pack outside and gave it a go, no luck this time though. I unplugged it and came back out 10 minutes later… No dice, but I got a few good cranks out of the engine so some promise! 10 minutes later for one last attempt & did it start???
….
….
(Suspense builds)
….
….
3rd times a charm, it started! But just barely, it wasn’t happy about it either. So it was time for a new battery. Added that to my list, let the car warm up and made my way to the happiest place on earth. Costco obviously!
Speaking of which, shall we preview some of the new sales this week?
LG 34″ ultra wide LED PC monitor -$100.00 @ $299.99
Apple Airpods w/charging case -$11.00 @ $177.99
Tilley face covering 4pk 3 layer -$3.00 @ $11.99
Royal consumer paper shredder 12 sheet microcut -$20.00 @ $79.99
Karbon full zip jacket, mens sizes S – XXL -$7.00 @ $22.99
Oh and of course let’s not forget that HUGGIES PULL-UPS PLUS BOYS & GIRLS SIZES 2T – 5T are for sale for $8.50 off @ $33.49, that sale will be going until Feb. 28th so make sure you take advantage and stock up if you need to this month!
As I’d mentioned in the February preview post there’s a few items that are going to be on my list to stock up on. One of them being the Dr.Praegers California style veggie burgers on sale for $11.99
I think these are the favorite Veggie burger in the house, though the Yves ultimate griller is a very close second (and I wish Costco would carry those again. Wink, Wink Costco!). They can be a little bit softer texture-wise (I think that’s the only mark against them) but they taste great and even taste mildly “healthy” so that gets a few extra points.
Rio Mare Tuna in Olive Oil was the other one on sale for $9.99.
While more expensive than the Kirkland brand, the flavor and quality of this brand seem to be a bit elevated and (in my opinion) are well worth the little bit extra. So if you’re like us and you love your Tuna fish sandwiches a little too much, or enjoy a classic italian style salad with tuna and olives and capers give this one a try and thank me later!
What are some of your favorite items that are for sale this week folks? Or better yet what are your favorites that I need to try out? Let me know in the comments and I’ll see if I can find them here and give ’em a whirl!
Speaking of whirl, I saw this in the warehouse today and it kind of piqued my interest.
Seeing as I spend lots of hours at least twice a week editing and writing here perhaps this is a good idea. I’ve thought about ways of doing editing on the treadmill, realistically I don’t think that’s an option. I’ve seen products like this and wondered about them, I mean if I can burn a few hundred calories clipping pictures and editing text sign me up!
Has anyone out there tried these, or a similar product? Legit or gimmick?? I plan on doing some research myself but if anyone out there has an opinion I’d love to hear your spin on it! (Get it!)
My terrible sense of humor aside, spin and whirl are what tires do. That reminds me I failed to mention another automotive situation I dealt with today.
November 2019 I purchased a set of winter tires from Costco (Easily one of my favorite and immediately gratifying purchases) and have loved them since. However there has been a small leak in one of them for some time now, and I was finally able to get an appointment at the Costco tire center to have them check it out this morning. (I was late because of the battery thing, but they still were able to get me in!)
After about 45 minutes the gave me a call and let me know that I had a nail in the tire, but it was too close to the wheel wall to fix it and I’d need to get a new tire. I figured, great… Add another $175 to the day, fantastic!
Much to my surprise the nice lady informed me that because of the road hazard warranty from Costco $125 of the replacement is covered so I’d only need to make up the difference ($50) Needless to say I was happy to have it work out like that, and will always get my tires from Costco now!
On that note it’s time to retire. I’m stuffed with pasta and need to acquire some pants with a little more “give” to them.
Good night folks, as always thank you for reading and your continued support!
Stay safe and healthy, cheers!

I was going to grab a Costco battery but I went for a Motomaster with a higher cold crank number, a bit more expensive but I figure in a 2010 having that during the cold cold winters is worth the extra cash over 5 years.
Home depot sells car batteries??? I didn’t know that!
I bought. Grab-A-Rag Microfibre Washable Cloths You get 75 of them for under $15.00
They are the greatest for any job that requires a cloth around the house. They are located in the automotive area in the store. I love these for cleaning anything., you throw them in the washer and reuse. Great for mirrors when wet.
Thanks for that info Cathy, I will say that having rags like that around for cleaning and not worrying about getting dirty are amazing things to have, Cheers!
Thanks for your awesome sharing.
I have a question about price adjustment policy.
When it comes to meat like pork, can I get price adjustment within 3 weeks?
Thank you so much! If you collect PC Optimum points, you can use your points during the redemption event to purchase the Cubii from Wellwise. I got one for my mom last year, she enjoys using it while watching TV (Wellwise was selling it for $299.99. I redeemed 200k points, which is worth $300 during their redemption event, so I only had to pay the tax. I had to add a chocolate bar to make the pre-tax amount over $300.00, but it was worth it and a reason to buy chocolate.). I think the reviews have been pretty positive on the Cubii. I think the main concern is that the resistance level might not be high enough for some.
Oh you’d better believe I collect PC optimum points! Though I’m still recharging them as before the 1st lockdown I used mine on a a few different stock up shopping trips for cat food and dried goods… So It’ll still take a bit to get back up that high but that is a good Idea, not sure if wellwise is open right now but I’ll look into that.
Cheers Janet!
I have a Cubii Jr and I love it! It’s a great way to get in a little cardio, or just some extra steps on slower days when you can’t get in a full workout. It’s has 8 resistance levels and is quite substantial – you don’t feel like you’re going to lose the pedals out from under you. I got mine from TSC.ca (you might want to check their pricing – if they’re offering it on a deal it often includes the no-slip mat). My only note is to watch the weight if you’re planning on bringing this home yourself. It weighs about 40lbs.
Great review thank you Lisa H! The weight won’t be too much of an issue and its great to know the pedals are sturdy… That was one concern of mine.
Thank you again for reading and commenting!
Hi David, thank you for reading and for the question!
Those Kayaks were at the Kingston, ON. warehouse and they must’ve just arrived cause they weren’t there on the weekend!
Hi Costco fans – Just a quick note that I was really unhappy with the Richelieu bathroom accessory set – poor quality and difficult installation. Returned the next day and saw others in the returns line with them too.
Hi Tanya, that’s great to know! I didn’t feel the quality of those ones but I feel like finding good quality bathroom accessory sets you need to go to actual bathroom specialty stores, otherwise they all seem to be made of plastic…
Thanks for my morning “shop & smile”!
That under the desk exercise thingy reminds me of a pricey Nordictrack ski machine we bought, last century, to use while watching tv 🙄. My husband tried it 2 or 3 times, me? not once. It collected dust for a while and then we sold it to the next hopeful individual (aka “sucker” lol). Let us know how it goes eh? At the very least, you can always return it! 😁
Cheers, Jan
Oh last century…. That makes me feel old… It’s one of those things that could be used all the time or as you said, could be a great dust collector and lord knows I don’t need anymore of those!
Cheers as always Jan, stay safe, happy and healthy!
Thanks for all your shopping tips and trips!
Sorry to hear about the car issues but also good to hear that your Costco tire was discounted.
I do love Dr. Praeger veggie burgers but also Morningstar Farms makes a great one to compare. I haven’t tried the Italian tuna in oil but might give it a go. It looks tasty. I usually buy tuna packed in water.
Just wondering if you use minced garlic that comes packed in a glass jar for your cooking or do you always use fresh garlic. I seem to be using a lot of garlic lately and wondered if the convenience of pre-cut garlic is worth trying or do you lose the flavor?
Thanks again.
Well I think we still have 1 or 2 garlic heads from the braids we all bought at the market last summer, and they’re still delicious!
I haven’t tried the garlic in a glass jar, but I can certainly smell it when I walk by leaving me to believe it would be pretty flavorful still. I’ll buy a jar on Friday and we can split it, how about that?
I tried the pre minced garlic before years ago and it’s not good. I ended up having to throw it out. Never tried again. Nowhere near like real fresh garlic. Also, just double check the ingredients on the container, to make sure it doesn’t include a bunch of other things you might not want.
Thanks for posting. The question on my mind is did you return the battery jump starter? If it was me, I’d return it. Costco needs to know not to order these items if they’re not worthy.
Hi JR. My battery turned out to be pretty well dead, so it wasn’t the Type S jump starters fault. I’ll probably hang onto it and put it in my emergency kit. You never know when it may come in handy!
Hey,
Are you in two places or are you working for/with that guy back West? I noticed your FAQ says you’ve been posting since 2011. I think that’s the same time that guy said he’s been posting…back on Redflagdeals. He also charges an annual fee, but I see you don’t. Also, your link to cocouk appears to be a malware site.
Hi Loni! So I work with my counterpart out west, I took over doing this about 3 or 4 years ago for the Costco East site (The guy before me was doing this for some time before me though) The annual fee is for an early post of the sales, so a few hours after he goes in the a.m. But the fee doesn’t change the blog for anyone else. Just adds early access!
I’m going to look into the cocoUK thing right know, thank you for the heads up Loni!
Thanks for doing this I always wait for your Costco blog and then I hit Costco on Wednesday in regards to buying at wellwise they give seniors 20% off every Thursday also kayaks are in the Queensway store 😊
Thank you for doing this!
I don’t always comment but always come here to read your blog (usually looking for pics of the cats) and see what else Costco has on sale. 🙂
Thank you again for this great list. I’ve never thought of Costco
I was not aware of the road hazard warranty at Costco. That’s good to know and great that you got a good chunk off your bill off.
I’m very interested in the seated compact elliptical . Question is will I follow through on using it.
Again, thank you so very much.
You’re welcome Yvonne, thank you for reading and supporting!
First thanks for doing this every week – I follow it religiously early Tues am
re your battery needed – I had to replace my type 35 3 weeks ago
best combination of price and warranty – costco warehouse
– runner up – home depot

Thanks for your awesome sharing.
I have a question about price adjustment policy.
When it comes to meat like pork, can I get price adjustment within 3 weeks?
Hi Jonghoon, I believe the price match does cover meats but best to call customer service to make sure. (I haven’t encountered that one before!)

Hi,
Where did you see the Kayaks? I went to the Downsview Costco and couldn’t find them
Hi David, thank you for reading and for the question!

Another vote for the costco battery – great price and prorated warranty that it comes with!!
Thank you KJ for that info and confirmation! Costco warranties are hard to beat!
Thanks for my morning “shop & smile”!

Thanks again
Yes Libby the follow through is the crucial part, they didn’t have them this week so I couldn’t grab one to try… I should stop hesitating!
Did anyone else notice the description of the aluminum foil does not match the item? Odd
Still an amazing product and I recommend
