I walk the whole store for you every Monday when Costco Sale items and Costco Flyer sales are released for the week, then post them here and on our Facebook page.
Welcome back to a very chilly Costco Treasure hunt everyone!
I say chilly because Ontario is supposed to be getting very chilly tonight, to the tune of -25 or -28.
I will say that it was eerily quiet today when I arrived. So much so, that by the time I got our of the electronics department I actually stopped and looked around to take the situation in.
The giveaway was how clean and organized the clothing department looked… I feel like that’s always the “tell” if you gaze over to the clothing department when you round that last corner at the entryway and the clothes are a scattered mess, it’s a regular ‘ol busy day at the Costco. But those stacks of sweaters were as neatly folded and stacked as I’ve ever seen ’em!
So with the clothing department being neat and clean, (and the cold approaching) I ducked over there and snagged a pair of these Heat Holder Thermal Socks to start my cart and keep my feets warm!
…Actually these didn’t “start my cart”. When arrived and picked my “vehicle of choice” I noticed I had a passenger to tag along with me. Though I kept feeling like I was falling beheinz because every time I looked down I was told to “Ketchup”
Get it?!?!?!
That one is definitely a Fozzie bear joke. Waka Waka!
OK, I’m going to go and congratulate myself on that terrible joke while you preview a few of the sales.
Lil Critters gummy vites 275 gummies -$4.00 @ $8.99
Turtle Beach recon 200 headset black -$20.00 @ $49.99
Gerson LED glow wick candle 6 pieces -$8.00 @ $31.99
Nahua duct tape 55m pack of 2 -$3.00 @ $7.69
Spyder glove sizes XS – XL -$4.00 @ $15.99
Boost high protein vanilla 24 x 237ml -$7.00 @ $24.89
CUBII JR compact elliptical -$50.00 @ $199.99
Bounty Plus paper towel 12 x 91 sheets -$5.00 @ $19.99
Blender bites DTOX and Vita smoothies 1080g -$3.50 @ $12.49
I think those Blender Bites smoothies are great!
An easy way to squeeze a few extra fruits or veggies into the day!
I did grab a box of the Boost high protein shakes while it’s on sale.
As I’ve mentioned before (probably many times) I’m not a huge breakfast person, but I know I need something. So a protein bar or shake is an easy thing for me to dive into on my drive to work (or Costco).
The 2 x 1L Terra Delyssa E.V.O.O. is on sale for $3.00 off @ $11.99.
It’s a great deal, so anytime the hit the sale rack I’ll grab a few to stock up… No one want to run out of olive oil when you’re in the middle of cooking after all… Much like we did last night, only it wasn’t olive oil, it was… (Jan are you ready for this?) White linen Marinara sauce!!!
I know…The CostKing is dead, long live the King…
(Overly dramatic, yes 100%.)
We were both shocked, and I feel like I failed as a Costco shopper and stocker.
We decided to make pasta and had a little bit left in the jar already opened so I just ran downstairs to grab the other jar that was OBVIOUSLY in the cupboard. I stood in disbelief for a moment, closed the cupboard and re-opened it thinking some kind of Costco Fairy would have appeared and “poof”… No such luck. Thankfully we had a jar of tomatoes waiting in the wings to dive in, but I think that’s the first time that’s happened to me!
The silver lining here is that “our” sauce is going to be on sale starting next week, so you’d better believe I’ll be making sure that situation doesn’t happen again!
In other news, it’s finally time for our Christmas tree to come down. It’s been a great run, and a wonderful holiday, however the time has come.
The Axe by it’s side looks a little foreboding, but it isn’t going to be massacred! We’re taking it out back into the forest and going to let it become a home for some of our little wildlife friends. Dexter, who is manning the helm on this edition, agrees that is the right thing to do.
Thus, with approval from my “number one”, and wrapping this blog up at the same time I shall say…
Or “Engage”, both are acceptable.
Have a great night folks, see you all soon!
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.

So there you go, a little reading material for you.
Be kind, be safe and stay healthy!

I was having my own issues and needed to ‘ketchup’! I was on here yesterday, looking for this weeks blog, wondering if you were ok as it wasn’t posted yet. It was wednesday after all, wasn’t it?!
SIGH!!
Anyway, after a good 5 minutes, I realized that it was only monday and you probably haven’t even gone to Costco yet. And all of this after I had worked all day, knowing it was Monday, doing monday work lol
I hope Dexter directed you well in tree removal! Does Ewok tend to leave that up to Dexter or does he get involved?
Hahaha, well it can be difficult to know what day it is at the moment Jennifer. Right now my Costco days have kept them in line for me though.
Oh Ewok would keep the tree up year round, 100% does not help.
Welcome to the dark side Jennifer 😉. Wait ‘til you’re retired…. days of the week become mostly irrelevant lol. I remember my dad being tested for dementia and one of the questions was “what day is it?” Good lord I’m doomed. 🙄🤪
Your stock of marinara sauce is depleted??? 😳 oh my! This may call for a meeting of the general membership where withdrawal of your crown will be seriously considered and debated. That said, we had pasta last night too and I had to crack a new jar so I just ran to the pantry now to check and recount my stash before I get all high and mighty…. whew. Two left 👑.
That said, my membership may be questioned too. I turned down the opportunity today to drop into the Stoney Creek warehouse when we stopped for gas.
Not surprisingly, my husband was shocked.
Cheers for now, Jan
So I DID comment earlier about your depleted sauce stock but somehow it’s never appeared here. 🙄 Now I can’t remember what I had to say so you’re going to have to trust me that it was freekin’ brilliant and hilarious. As always.
Cheers, Jan
p.s. and I made pasta the same night as you and had to crack open a new jar. There are still 2 more in the pantry 😝😬
Thanks very much for your excellent blog. I have finally made my list and will attempt to do a Costco run this weekend. I know it will be cold out so I’ll have to bundle up.
Did you try my cheapo version of a towel warmer? If you missed it, you wrap your bath towels up in a hot water bottle or heating pad. For added luxury, add your pj’s in there as well.
I like the idea of saving the Christmas tree for the little critters, very thoughtful of you.
Thank you Layla, and yes it is really cold out!!! I haven’t tried that yet no, but I do have a heating pad around here somewhere… Looks like something to try this weekend!
Stay safe, and have a great trip out to the warehouse!
Love the ketchup joke! You made my day 🙂
Thank you Jennifer, it was a pretty bad one, but I do specialize in bad jokes so I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Who doesn’t *relish* a good ketchup joke?
Hahahaha
Always look forward to your post. Great job ! Thank you from Ottawa !
Thank you very much Lettie, stay safe and thank you for the support!
