Welcome to the Costco Weekend Sales Update where I’ll keep you all in the loop on the awesome sales Costco releases for the Weekend! I’ll post them here and on our Facebook page for you to enjoy.

So it’s 2 more weeks is it?
As any of you in Ontario know by now the Province has released it’s guidelines for re-opening, and while it seems like things will get back to “normal” we won’t be returning to a wide open free-for-all anytime soon. All the re-opening steps will be in place for 21 days to ensure case numbers stay down, and until we reach certain vaccine targets & case numbers we won’t move to the next phase. Seems to make sense to me, let’s do it properly this time right?
If you want to read more about the re-opening Ontario plan follow this link.
Oh well, we’ve made it this far folks so a few more weeks to get us in a better situation is OK with me. But maybe I can look at some bluetooth speakers, or some new sheets a little sooner? (Not gonna happen, but at least some of you can go out and hit the links!)
Maybe that’s being a little greedy, I’ll be patient. Plus Costco has been constantly adding new plants to the garden center and vegetables inside.
I was also treated to a full rack of delicious (and spicy!) looking peppers today.
So naturally I brought a bunch home with me. I mean I’ve never heard of a burrito pepper before. I do like burritos, this would lead me to believe that these peppers are delicious on their namesake right?
Apparently the peppers were popular and were sold out pretty quick, so I’m glad I grabbed ’em when I did.
As always I duck into the garden center for a nice stroll through all the flowers and plants, inevitably leading to a purchase. I added these 2 giant baskets to the crew today.
Do you think it’s possible to have too many hanging baskets??? I’m starting to think I have a problem, we have 6 now… They’re just so beautiful though, it’s hard to resist!
While I go and explore “hanging flower basket rehab clinics near me” on Google, I’ll let you look at a few of the sales.
Wildbrine Raw Organic sauerkraut 1.5L -$2.50 @ $7.99
Nescafe rich instant coffee 475g -$2.00 @ $8.49
Boomcare 3-in-1 infrared thermometer -$7.00 @ $27.99
Feit electric LED sting lights (48ft) -$10.00 @ $38.99
Scotts supreme grass seed 3.8kg bag -$5.00 @ $19.99
Flexon garden hose (100 ft) -$7.00 @ $25.99
Charmin ultra-soft bathroom tissue 30 rolls x 214 sheets -$5.00 @ $19.99
I will agree with Jan regarding the Wildbrine organic Sauerkraut, I think it’s delicious!
It’s not as spritzy as some fermented foods go but it’s bright and crisp, delightfully salty, vinegary and slightly garlicky. Just gonna say that as much as it goes well on a hot dog or cured meat sandwich, I’m happy to just dive in with a fork straight outta the container until I feel like someone is staring at me and judging me for double dipping with my utensil.
Don’t worry, that container is just for me… Not like we’re allowed to have people over to share it with right now anyways.
Another new item was the Beau Lavande scents of the word essential oils 3 x 10ml pack.
Good to note here the ingredients are (as the tag in the top right states) 100% natural, no fillers or fakes here. My partner loves geranium and lavender essential oils so guess what we’ll be trying on Monday?
Remember when no one in “anywhere in the world” could find a thermometer?
Well just like Lysol wipes these 2 digital thermometers are not only in stock, but also on sale!
The Braun thermoscan ear thermometer w/back light & the Boomcare 3-in-1 infrared thermometer are on sale for $39.99 and $27.99 respectively. So maybe a good time to grab one and stash it away in an emergency kit perhaps?
You know what else is good for an emergency kit folks? Cute, sleepy kitties and I highly recommend them not only for emergencies but for every day life as well.
Big time stress reducers. (Unless they wake you up at 4 a.m. That is not a stress reduction technique in any practice I’m aware of)
Speaking of which due to some kitty waking us up at 4 in the morning I’m going to wrap this up so I can hopefully regain a few of those lost hours.
Night folks. Stay safe and healthy.
Since we are 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.
Newfoundland COVID-19 information
New Brunswick COVID-19 information
Nova Scotia COVID-19 information

“hanging flower basket rehab clinics near me” lol
Love that!
Thanks for doing this, especially on a long weekend.
You can never have too many hanging baskets. I went into the garden centre for a cocoa liner and came out with over $100 worth of plants. lol. Thanks for walking Costco for us, truly appreciate it.
Hey Elizabeth, strong work girl, you’re my kinda shopper!
Thank you — some new products to try —
Too many hanging flower baskets? Nah! Ya gots to get the good ones when you see them and they make great inserts for a planter, just snap off the hangers and voila! Our season of enjoyment is short enough so I say more is better. Just my humble opinion of course 😊….
And speaking of opinions, how’s the led light from those Feit outdoor lights? I’ve been back and forth about getting them at that amazing price. Elsewhere (*cough C.Tire) is waaay more $$!
Ok enough from me. Thanks again 😁
Stay safe & sane, Jan
Hey Jan,
Agree about the hangers turning into planter inserts, did that with one of mine!
I considered the lights but as they are solar powered and I’d have to find a place for the ‘panel’ I passed.
Saw some at home depot (online) that were plug in, but like you say, way to expensive!
Don’t know if that helps, good luck with your decision!
Hi, are outdoor led lights not sectioned off in non essential section in Kingston? Thank you
I took a quick trip to Costco Friday morning, no line up for the store but wowzers what a line up for the garden centre! Fortunately I’d bought all my hanging baskets (5) and planter pots (3) a week or so earlier – over 2 trips, as it wouldn’t all fit in my car hahaha.
Thanks for the suggestions on the sheets, I went on line and viola, same price as with the coupon! I bought a set last year and have been very happy with them, so treated myself to two more.
My little man (cat) managed to pick up an upper respiratory infection somehow and has been quite sick. After day three of meds and eye drops, he seems to be turning the corner, looking and sounding a bit better last night.
No idea how he got it, being an indoor cat..
Anyway, hope you all are keeping well, thanks for my biweekly dose of chuckles and updates!
Hi Jennifer, so glad you saw my note and got your sheets! I mostly do just ferns these days but may hit Costco after the weekend, just to see what they’ve got. The lineup last Wednesday was nuts and it was too hot to stand in the sun!
Hope your little fella’s doing better 🐱
Cheers, J
Thanks Jan, he seems to have turned a corner and is slightly improved tonight.
I have looked at the string lights but as there are solar powered I discounted them as I’d have to find a place for the ‘panel’.
I did see some on Home Depots website, but as you said, mucho dinero!
Hi Jennifer, well that’s good news!
We may be talking about 2 different products? The the Feit led ones are electric I think? I’m curious about the colour/brightness…. some led lights can be a bit much!
