Wow… I kind of forgot how huge the Orillia warehouse was! What was a routine weekend treasure hunt turned into a 250 item extravaganza! I even realized that when I got near the end of my warehouse travels that I had missed 3 aisles after the clothing section, I just totally blanked and went somewhere else… Anyhow it was absolutely worth the (relatively quick) 45 minute drive to get there, and I would 100% do it again.
While there were some things that weren’t new to me, like these 2 items that will complete your next painting project (and many more to follow!), they are on sale, and it’s hard to find that much painters tape for that cheap anywhere!
Or these 2 fans & window AC unit that will certainly help you through this current heat wave. Those little Omnibreeze personal fans are super thin, but still do a great job getting the air moving, so if you’ve got a tight space that could use a breeze these lil’ guys will be your new best friend!
Those are pretty “cool” sales, I think!
This leads me to all the other awesome things I can’t find at my Costco.
While I can’t find the Kim Chi that’s available at the Barrie warehouse, I do love making my own from scratch. Of course 2 of the ingredients I need are Napa cabbage and radishes… Guess what Orillia has?
I couldn’t find Napa at that price anywhere I don’t think, and while that is a ton of radishes to use we’ve been adding them to our salads lately so we could probably burn through ’em quick. The poor radish… It used to be a staple in salads, then it seemed to fall off of the map for a while. I’m personally glad it’s making it’s way back into the scene!
You all know I’m a sauce fanatic, and sticking with the Korean food theme there’s a new sauce in town and I gotta say, I love the name!
It looks so delicious, has any one tried it before??? I should have grabbed it, but I knew what the results of bringing another sauce home would have been…
Something like that…
How about the Pura D’or shampoo & conditioner? It says it’s fortified with all kinds of goodies that’ll help to thicken up your hair, what do you think folks?? I’ll take all the help I can get!
I stood and thought a really long time about picking up one of these Muskoka garlic sauces… Like, I think I stood there for about 5 minutes thinking about it. Someone walked by me and said “those are delicious!” as if I needed convincing.
A creamy garlicy sauce that you can use for dipping, cooking, marinating or just enjoying with a spoon? That’s right up my alley folks, as I’m sure you could guess. I did resist though, for now… But I have a feeling that I’ll be visiting this place again, and next time this will be in my cart!
Speaking of weakness’, it’s a good thing we don’t live close by because if we did I would have a box of these in the freezer all the time!
When I was a kid growing up in Scarborough, we used to love walking down Sheppard to grab some of these at the Jug city convenience store there and of course brought all of our quarters and played the Street Fighter II arcade game… I was terrible at that game, but the spicy Jamaican patties were well worth it!
OK, I’m rambling on here folks so I appologize… There’s alot to take in for this weekend update, so I should let you get your browse on, as I said there’s 250 items to check out here. Grab a beverage or a snack and take a stroll through the aisles with me!
I hope you enjoy, and have a great weekend. See you soon.
Cheers!
Don’t forget to check in with Rhonda over at the Costco Quebec Fan Blog and see what fun sales are happening there!
I’m always curious as to why you find different products at different stores. Does the individual store manager get to choose what inventory is carried in each store? It’s frustrating in Ottawa as the other 3 Costco stores are relatively close together, so going to one of the other stores is not unreasonable, where as my store in the East end seems to carry a much more limited selection, but to go to the other Ottawa stores is a trek, so I only do it if I’m “in the neighbourhood)….Perhaps my store carries stock that isn’t at the other stores, but I am just unaware as I so rarely go to the other stores.
Hello Hilary, I’m in the Montreal area and I’m always looking forward to get my CostcoEast fix…every week. Some years ago, I used to leave my written disappointment about the lack/non-existent variety of items to the “comment/suggestion” box at my local Costco. Nothing changed. But, when I see an item on CostcoEast Weekly that I’m almost certain my local Costco doesn’t carry, I pick up the phone with the Costco Item Number and call Customer Service of a different Costco warehouse…and each time they tell me which Costco in the Montreal area carries the item and inform me how many they have in stock – this usually points me to which Costco I’ll be spending my hard earned money to. 🙂
I forgot to mention: calling Costco Customer Service (select option 1 for Administrative, and someone will answer for sure!) is from Monday THROUGH Sunday, and they are the most helpful…as long as you have the product’s Item Number to provide. 🙂 Just to cite as an example: I just called the warehouse that is usually called Costco “Bridge” and inquired about a certain product that I have the Item Number for and was curious if they had it in stock (Item # 3700662 – Sealy Frost Mattress Pad KS); she (the clerk who answered me) said they don’t carry that specific item and she “asked” me if she could check for a different Costco near me – she hesitated when she said that only the Costco that had this product in stock was in Laval, but I was delighted to get the information and thanked her gracefully! (ssssshhhh, sometimes I call on “Tuesdays” with a considerable list of item numbers and always get outstanding service, but that’s our secret now!) No more frustrations from Costco Marché Central anymore and my expectations are down to a minimum. Happy hunting! 🙂
JoseeM, you should check out CocoQuebec.ca! Rhonda does a great job of covering the products available in the Quebec region. And her dog Ozzy is pretty cute too!
I subscribe to Costco emails. I learned that the Kirkland Signature sockeye salmon was on sale. Thanks for the pic of the salmon. At our warehouse, Friday after work, about half the boxes were empty. We bought some and put in the freezer. Really happy for this sale!
Me too! Their relatively new weekend sales are a big tease for me, trying to entice me to shop on the weekend. I guess that’s the point eh? Ever since I retired, I swore to shop only on weekdays and so far have managed to do it. However, we dropped into the Ancaster warehouse on Saturday around 4pm to checkout the Adirondack chairs and it was stupid busy…. driving around to find a parking spot and families filling the aisles. We managed to zip down a back aisle to the display then got the heck outta there via the entrance. I know, bad girl! I think we coulda got $$ for our parking spot. Never again. Until the next time 😉
