Well folks, not exactly sure how we got to November so quickly but here we are! That means the Halloween decorations have come down (sigh), and we’ve got about a week or so before the Christmas ones go up! (yay!)
One of the new items I saw today that piqued my interest were these Zwilling vacuum food storage bags and containers.
Now I know what you’re thinking folks, and you’re right. I do have the Food Saver vacuum sealer at home, so why would I want something so similar? Well for one, the Food saver isn’t on the counter all the time, and it isn’t necessarily for everyday use. When I bulk prep and freeze 50 pounds of squash from Harris farms soon, I will be needing the Food Saver! Hoewver for everyday leftovers, and quick and easy stuff this seems to be a winner… Plus it has a wine sealer! I mean come on, that in itself is worth it!
If you’ve got a baker in your midst, or are lacking in the measuring department, or are just looking for more fun stuff to intruduce to your kitchen, this 16 piece MIU measuring set might be up your alley!
I think that set covers just about every measurement you could need!
I know we just finished with Halloween and you all likely still have plenty of chocolate leftover, but Turtles are on sale… (For me those are right behind After Eights!)
I can’t remember the last time I had a doughnut… Probbaly the last time Krispy Kremes were in town for their roadshow, and guess who showed up today?
I think I circled back around for like 3 or 4 samples and felt like this…
It was worth it, those things are darned tasty!
Well after eating a box of doughnuts (or donuts for the Americans) you may very well just want to plant yourself on the couch for a while and feel some guilt. Why not forget about the guilt part and dive into some old school arcade action thanks to the My Atari?!
That looks like some old school fun, and I could totally get behind that action! (Though the NES or SNES classic would pretty sweet too, wheres that at Costco?!)
Well folks, I’ll let you get at your browsing and list making. There’s lots of great sales to check out down below so dive in!
Have a great weekend, cheers!
Don’t forget to check in with Rhonda over at the Costco Quebec Fan Blog and see what fun sales are happening there!
Thanks for all your work! It’s my fave reading. I get my retail therapy just from reading you blog 😁.
Don’t forget to post a few of your Halloween decor pics eh?
I will be at Costco on Saturday and I dread the thought, never having been there on Saturday. However, I hope that my Costco has the Le Mere Poulard Cookie Assortment. I love French cookies – so buttery and full of calories. I laughed at the Atari Gamestation. Long ago, I spent (wasted!!) many an hour playing Frogger, Pac Man, etc. The joysticks drove me crazy … and the music when the frog got squashed! We have had a Cuisinart Vertical Waffle Maker since 2003 and it still makes delicious waffles. My husband makes the batter and cooks them — what a clever man. I think I’ll keep him for another 49 years.
Thanks for all the work. I really enjoyed this Friday’s post.
I feel your pain Marie! I never go in on the weekends either, plus Fridays if I can avoid it, evenings and Mondays too lol. I’ve worked in retail and swore I’d never shop then! The best time imho is 2:30-3:30pm mid week when parents are leaving to pickup their little darlings from school and then get out by 4 before they show up with them in the store 🙄. Also, by that time the folks coming home from work stop in to shop and they’re a whole ‘nother story 🤪.
Good luck!
For Saturdays or Sundays, if the warehouse opens at 9, we are in the parking lot at 845, after getting gas. Some managers open the door before 9 at some warehouses. The customers lining up with us know exactly what they want and some are at the cash 5-10 minutes after entering. And out the door before 930.
The other group comes in half hour before closing. Scoping the parking lot, you can see lots of empty spots and can park close to the entrance. They close the entrance door on time. They let people shop peacefully and we have not been rushed out.
Thanks to Jan and Ilona for the shopping hints. We got our XBB Covid shot at 11:30 am and made a couple of other stops before arriving at Costco at about 12:45 pm. We split up at that point — hubby went for gas and I went into the store. What a zoo in the store with shopping carts, kids and food stations everywhere. I got my two items and fled (the Barrhaven store has the Mere Poulard cookies in the storage area but the service counter people said they are not on display yet). The gas bar was no better with long lineups.
Well, that’s the first and last time we’ll be at Costco on a Saturday. Our usual Costco time is Wednesday at 1:30pm. Nice and quiet.
If you ever come to the Heartland Costco in Mississauga, it’s minutes, meters from the Krispy Kreme store. Sometimes it’s hot and fresh. They take the doughnuts off the conveyor belt…. it’s worth the drive.
My dog LOVES the GoDog, but it’s not at Heartland… anyone know if another location near here has it. Not wanting to drive to 15 Costcos to hunt it down. Much appreciated!

Hope this helps. YMMV

I found the GoDog at Burlington Costco few days ago. My dog destroyed it already☹️. I had thought it was pretty durable toy.
Thanks Ingrid.
My dog was playing with it at a friend’s place. She’ll probably destroy ours in a matter of minutes too.
Jan…..exactly what I do! Every Wednesday around 2:30 I hit my local Costco whether I need anything or not! Perfect time to go, for just those reasons.
Thanks very much for all of your hard work, much appreciated as always 😊
I wonder if I will have to finally try those Krispy Kream Doughnuts, I am in for a treat I’m sure.
Don’t forget to turn the clock’s back 1 hour tonight ⏰🕓⏰
