This week, Costco East Fan Blog is sponsored by @ZiplocCanada, who have just launched a Costco-exclusive 100ct package of their compostable sandwich bags. To win a $100 Costco Gift Card and Ziploc product pack just post in the Facebook, Instagram or blog post comments with what you plan on using these bags for! Ziploc Compostable bags biodegrade into a useful soil supplement when composted at a commercial facility. These new sandwich bags were developed in consultation with the Compost Council of Canada and are BPI and BNQ certified to ensure compliance with Canadian industry standards! The bags are available at many Ontario locations, including Mississauga, Burlington, Brampton, Vaughan, Barrie, Kitchener Guelph, Oshawa, Nepean and Gatineau, for $13.49 (regular $16.99) until July 3rd.
Welcome to the Costco Weekend Sales Update where I’ll keep you in the loop on all the awesome sales & new items Costco releases for the Weekend!
Well the week certainly blew by pretty quick, and here we are another summer weekend!
It is a steamy one out there and a classic way to cool down (as a kid anyhow) was the good ‘ol Mr.Freeze!
Of course now they have these Cooling blankets on sale for $6.00 off.
Has anyone used this before, if so how does it work? Some kind of cutting edge technology?!?!
Speaking of cutting edge, the Cutco road show is in town so if you’re in the market for a new set of knives now would be a good time!
I just wonder why they’re always demonstrating that you can cut a penny… I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a point in my life where I’ve needed to cut a penny!
I’ll be keeping this post brief as the restaurant was really busy and I didn’t get home till late!
Have a great night folks & enjoy the weekend!

Happy to hear about the Ziploc Compostable Sandwich bags. I don’t like to throw out when I can will cut off top and put in recycling. I use ziploc not just for sandwiches but for leftovers, cut up veggies or most often when there is excess packaging and I want something smaller. Good for Ziploc.
I’m so happy to see a company come out with a food storage bag that’s good for the environment! I’m a health care worker and work long shifts. These will be easy and convenient when packing food for the day. I’ll also use the bags when packing lunches for my 2 kids. They will be of great use for our whole family.
I do volunteer work at the Toronto Vegetarian Foodbank. We use them there for portioning out things like rice, Chickpeas and lentils that we get in bulk to give out to the families… I also use them to carry fruit, cheese and snacks on the go when i go out for the day..
Fantastic news! I use Ziplock sandwich bags for everything, lunches, left overs, garden seeds, sorted bits & pieces, etc. I am absolutely thrilled they’re now compostable!
Ziplock sandwich bags are great for snacks, roadtrips and picnics during the summer holidays. I will be using them for sealing in the freshness when taking snacks on the go!
Thanks for including blog comments in your contest entries since I’m a not on Facebook or Instagram dinosaur 🙄.
Given all the concerns about plastic these days, I’d consider giving Ziplock’s new compostable bags a try for food storage and snacks. I currently use their various bags and continually reuse them by rinsing them out. However, my past experience with compostable garbage bags wasn’t a success. They started “composting” and fell apart in the cupboard!
Hope you were able to get some decent and deserved rest 😴. Cheers from Waterdown!
Love that these are compostable Ziploc bags! Great move! I use Ziploc for snacks on the go for my son and in my classroom for all kids of things from student materials for a given activity to storing all the things that need to be kept organized!
Ziploc bags are perfect for traveling. I put mini-toiletries in them, make one into an emergency medical kit, store important vitamins, store snacks (ie plane) in them.
Hi everyone that reads the comments 🙂 just a quick note about the Cooling Throw. I have no idea how it works, but my bf who is warmer when sleeping (sometimes down right sweaty) really likes this blanket. When the temperature is on the warmer side I don’t wake up hot and it also allows for some cuddle time during heatwaves. …and it is a fantastic price.
Will definitely check out the ziplock compostable sandwich bags. I had stopped buying the regular plastic bags in favor of more environmentally friendly alternatives. When my husband is making his lunch, I hear ‘wish we had sandwich bags’.
Hi! Thanks for your endless work in keeping us all informed in the Costco world! Long time reader first time poster! I love the idea of a compostable ziplock bag. I use these type of bags all summer packing lunches for the beach, park, lake, and work and knowing they are compostable makes me feel much better!
First, thank you for this site it helps me a great deal as my nearest warehouse is two hours away (all on highway).
As for the Ziplocs I’d use them to store smaller portions of my dog’s kibble instead of keeping them in a 20 pound unsealable pouch.
Thanks for the update on the Ziploc compostable bags! It’s great to see Costco supporting eco-friendly options. Looking forward to grabbing a pack this weekend. Keep the deals coming!
I’d use the ziploc bags for packing the kids summer camp sandwiches!
I would love to use the ziplock for my incoming JK and snack/lunch for my 6 month old. Thank you and i really appreciate all you do

Glad to see that Ziploc has come out with compostable bags! I often use bags for storing crafting items, as well as using them for food!
This is wonderful! I was retired but had returned to work 1 yr. ago. I look forward to not using plastic baggies since I take my lunch every day.

I’d use the Ziploc bags for our family’s snacks and lunches, my daughter’s hair ties and clips, and my baby’s pacifier and teeethers. So handy!
