Welcome back everybody!
As you know a foot and a half of snow can’t stop me, and neither will -27 degrees! The dryness though… Ouch!
I’m sure most of you experience the dry cracked skin we do at this time of year, so we decided to give a humidifier a try and Costco had the Pure Guardian ultrasonic available today for $99.99.
It’s pretty discrete looking, (though it dose stand a few feet high so it’s not a table top unit obviously.) and the white will match pretty well with walls. They do recommend putting something underneath it so I’ll need to pick up something for that, maybe just a plant tray? It holds 5.68L of water and claims to be able to run for 100 hours which should keep you from having to fill it up everyday, another nice feature. It doesn’t specify approximate run times on the various level (low, med, high) so I’d guess that time applies to the “low” setting.
That’s a feature I wish this one had, the digital humidity meter so you could set a desired level and it would adjust to it. I saw a few models at Rona today that had that feature, but were $50 – 60 more. Not sure if that’s worth it or not?
It does hold a lot of water and it’s recommended to use distilled to avoid scale build up, so while I put filtered water in initially, I’m going to have to make a stop and grab some distilled on my way home form work.
They (whoever “they” are) say that between 30-50% is ideal, and right now we’re sitting at about 22%… No wonder it seems dry in here!
LASKO ceramic heater 32in. -$15.00 @ $49.99
Glasslock food storage se 26 piece -$6.00 @ $ 12.99
Manor House floor registers 4 in. x 10 in.-$5.00 @ $12.99
Frito Lay variety pack 50 x 28g -$3.00 @ $11.89
Splenda Sweetener 1000 packets -$6.00 @ $ 20.99
American Lighting neon flex light 16.4ft w/remote -$10.00 @ $24.99
Cangshan knife set 6 piece -$15.00 @ $54.99
Those Cangshan knives certainly looked flashy.
But how can you compete when the Henckels road show was in town!
I do love my Henckels, you know that folks. I’ll be taking a closer look at the roadshow stand when I return on Monday. But I got distracted by the flashing lights and bleeps and bloops of the Pac-Man arcade game that was plugged in!
Of course I had to stop and play a few rounds of Pac-Man and Galaga, what kind of fool wouldn’t! I had a lady stop and ask if I liked it and would I get it. Yes, was the answer to both of course. I asked her if she wanted to step in and give it a try, she said “No I was just thinking about my grand kids” to which I laughed and said “right, for your grand kids, wink wink. That’s why I’m testing it too!” I don’t think she believed me, but we shared a chuckle about it at least.
There is no need to hide your love for Pac-Man, or any arcade game for that matter folks. If I could have a basement full of arcade games I would, Pac-man, Tetris, Popeye and countless pinball machines I would.
With that far fetched dream in mind, I’m going to head to dreamland myself.
Enjoy the sales Amigos, let’s ride!

I gave up with stand alone humidifiers and had one installed directly on my furnace in the spring last year – game changer!!!
No more shocking touches to my fur babies, so it’s appreciated all around 🙂
Hope to get to Costco this afternoon, fingers crossed it’s not too busy!
Stay warm!!!
I think we’re leaning that way too Jennifer, this one I don’t think is cutting the mustard.. Or whatever the saying is, hahaha!
My husband would drop the hose from our air conditioner to a pail, because it is now distilled water. Also used for our iron and room humidifier.
Huh… Great idea! Thanks Catherine!
Thank you some great ideas
I have a friend who has one of those arcade machines. It has 5 or 6 games on it. They have it in their basement and is used by their grandchildren (& me when they go away).
I have another friend who owns a pinball machine. It is fun! esp during Covid when we are restricted by what we can do.
I would LOVE to have a pinball machine, they are my favorite!!! But you know any arcade fixture would be amazing, but I’m sure my productivity would slip…
I’m always looking forward to your emails. I love reading your Costco stories. Thank you!
My pleasure, thank you for reading and supporting!
I’ve been looking for the NORDICWARE OVEN CRISP BAKING TRAY for WEEKS! Maybe some will make it here to Halifax/Dartmouth NS. Available on line but at a significantly higher price
Hey everyone! I have a few comments/questions….
1. Listen to Jennifer and get a humidifier on your furnace
2. Any user opinions on the NordicWare oven crisper thingy?
3. That black 3 tier rolling storage cart is very similar to IKEA’s @ $50. Some of their stuff has taken a BIG jump in price!
4. There’s the Costco puzzle Robin (?) was asking about…. looks cool!
That’s all I gots for now but I’m sure I’ll think of something once I hit the “post comment” button lol
Cheers & thanks! Jan
p.s. and we just got a new car 🚗 today to match the spiffy snow brush I gave my husband for his birthday! 😅
Hello, thank you for your weekend update. One thing I was excited about is the Birdrock Home Grabber at 2 for $9.97. I purchased one from Amazon (different brand) for over $30.00. I have a bad knee so this gadget is extremely useful!!! I will be happy to purchase this set from Costco so I can spread them around the house. They are also great for reaching objects on upper shelves.
Stay safe and warm ☃️🫖☕🍪🍷
P.S. Congratulations on the new car Jan, lucky you !!!!!!
Thanks, Layla Bay! It was a big decision…. buying these days ain’t easy.
