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.
Even Ewok was enjoying his hot and steamy morning in paradise sleeping amongst his ferns.
Until I woke him up to come inside that is. Seems he forgot what I do on Monday mornings!
No line up when I arrived, perfect! The store wasn’t super busy so (for the most part) the aisles were easy to navigate. Though I do often wonder where all the empty & abandoned shopping carts are coming from, anyone know the answer to this? I feel like the snack aisle and the Candy/protein bar aisles had at least 5 derelict carts just creating a maze for us all.
I’m also wondering if the candy/chocolate bars being across the aisle from the protein bars, shakes & powders is done on purpose. Look to your left, grab that box of Nestle chocolate bars and then look to your right where the RX Bars are just sitting there, staring you down, judgement written all over the box…
Maybe it’s some kind of test to see what we do. I’ll tell you this, I’m hitting both sides folks!
Let’s take a quick look at a sample of the sales on this week at Costco.
Bayer Aleve 220MG 250 caplets -$5.00 @ $17.99
Huggies Natural care plus baby wipes 16.8 x 19.5 cm -$5.00 @ $23.99
Lysol toilet bowl cleaner 4 x 946ml
Glaceau vitamin water variety 15 x 591ml -$3.50 @ $13.49
Brandt Bratwurst sausage 900g -$2.50 @ $9.49
Excel variety pack, pack of 27 -$3.30 @ $13.49
Van Houtte house blend K-cups 80 count -$6.00 @ $33.99
Apple Watch series 6 GPS 40mm silver -$60.00 @ $458.99
Thank you for your comments about the improvements you’d like to see made.
For Jan in Waterdown we are working on that search function! I think when I last checked there were approx. 70,000 plus items that needed to be entered and I think the fine folks working on it we’re roughly halfway through… So that is absolutely something we’re working on for the future. As for the comment & reply notification I’m not certain how that works, but I’ll check in with my counterpart out West and see if that’s possible.
Robette was asking about a “province tab” as some items aren’t available in certain areas. While this would be a great idea it would be very hard to implement as even within the provinces the items can be different from store to store. A great idea however!
Layla Bay asked about a “list” function with favorites and being able to print a hard copy. Layla a list function is in the works as well! This one will take time as putting that feature together involves a lot of work, but rest assured we are working towards making that a possibility. (and early sale notifications and receipt scanning to check for sales is something on the agenda as well!)
For Barb K asking how to sign up to the newsletter follow the sets illustrated below!
It is that easy!
Speaking of the email notifications, if you didn’t see the post from the other day here’s some important info for you regarding your E-mail notifications.
NEWSLETTER UPDATE
We have successfully migrated our newsletter to a new service, since our previous service (Google Feedburner) is ending this month.

If you use a service like Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail, please check off the “not SPAM” button so that these mail services know that this E-mail is NOT SPAM.
You can also add info@cocoeast.ca to your E-mail address book. This way your mail provider will know not to send these E-mails to your SPAM folder.
Oh, and in other news I got my second COVID vaccine on Sunday July 4th!
I’d dance around like those guys but my left arm feels like it’s full of lead so I’ll just stick to not dancing… I know my weaknesses.
So yes, second shot of Moderna. So far only side effect is the very sore arm so let’s hope it stays that way. (I’d heard drinking lots of water helps so I think I had about 12 or so pints of water… I think it helped a bit)
On that note I’m going to go and continue to enjoy this crazy thunderstorm before I crawl into bed. I love a good ‘ol storm!
See you all soon, and thank you for all the comments and support!

COVID-19 vaccinations are ramping up across Eastern Canada, follow the links below to find out if you’re eligible and where they are available in your Province.
Since we are still in the third 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.

Oh dear, guess I should have looked here before trying to help you out and answer peoples questions! lol
That was quite the storm last night!
I guess the lightning was working so hard here, they had no energy in Montreal!! GO HABS GO!!
I can’t say I’ve ever noticed abandoned carts, will have to keep my eyes out for them now, see if I can deduce the reason behind it!
Congrats on your second vaccine, had mine about a month ago and had some not so nice side effects for almost a week. All good now though!
Back in the day i.e. preCovid, I used to hope for abandoned carts since I seldom took one at the entrance, thinking that maybe I wouldn’t spend as much (what a dope) and it was easier to navigate the tight clothing section. Later, I was the idiot at the back of the warehouse trying to carry 23 items 🙄. Now I take one to help with distancing and I don’t want to grab an unsanitized one! How times have changed lol!
Thanks so much again and Yes! I do love a good thunderstorm!! ⛈
Cheers & chill, Jan
If you can’t do the “reply notification” thingy (and I can see where that might be quite an undertaking), would a “skip ahead to the comments” button be feasible?
😬
Jan, there is an easy way to do this, on your keyboard, hold down ‘control’ and hit ‘end’ this will take you to the very end of the page, then you just have to scroll up a bit to the comments 🙂
Thanks again for all you do help us Costco fans, including all the work to switch, update and improve the site.
Has anyone besides me been getting 2 copies of the emails? I’ve been getting doubles for a few days, likely since the switch. One went into my spam but I quickly told Yahoo that it IS NOT SPAM!!! 🙂
I have found that if you have a pix/price on your phone and show it to the cashier, it doesn’t matter what store you are in they will honour the price.
So something that is on sale in Kingston but not in Toronto will be sold at the sale price if you have a download to show.

Thanks Jennifer for the help. I’m usually reading this on my iPhone while hubby has the desk top but I’ll have to try that out! 😁
