Welcome to the Costco Weekend Sales Update where I’ll keep you in the loop on the awesome sales & new items Costco releases for the Weekend!
Please note:
The price at your local Costco takes precedent (or precedence) over the prices listed on this blog.
Costco liquidation/Manager’s Special items (ending in .97) vary from store to store.
An asterisk (*) on the price tag means the item is not being re-ordered.
If there is something you really want, ***double check the expiry date*** as some Costco sales items do end mid-week.

There were lots of new items in the warehouse today, including a bunch of new gift sets that pop up around now.The most interesting to me was this Sushi making gift set.
I love sushi, but surprisingly I’ve never attempted to make it. So this would be a great gift for me! I guess that’s a not-so-subtle hint!
As always when I see new Lego sets hit the shelves I tend to slow down and check ’em out. I loved Lego when I was a kid, and still have my giant rubbermaid bin full of it! So I always gaze lovingly at these sets and try to find ways to justify bringing a new set home…
One day I’ll just snap and do it! Who says adults can’t build Lego Minecraft sets, right?!
Avocados are on sale for $2.00 off, and $6.99 for a bag of 7-8 (I think???) is a great deal.
Of course those Avocodos were bright green and rock hard, and when they get ripe it can be hard to use all of them before they go bad… Seems like a perfect specimen for the Food saver! And since they’re on sale until the 26th, I should be able to still snag a bag or 2 when I go back on Monday.
While I’m not going to be allowed to bring home any more kitchen gadgets thanks to the aforementioned Foodsaver, I’ve always been curious about the whole air fryer thing. And it happens the Gourmia 6.7 L air fryer is on sale for $20.00 off @ $59.99.
This is where I’ll hand the floor over to you all. Who has an air fryer, what are your favorite things to cook, and are there some brands that are better than others??? Share your air fryer stories in the comments folks!
I’m gonna leave it there, it’s been a long day and I’m ready for bed.
Have a great weekend folks, enjoy the sales and new items and as always…
I bought the Gourmia Air Fryer several months ago. Absolutely love it. Use it all the time. Food is so moist, and reheating fries or pizza slices taste like you first bought them. I would highly recommend this Air Fryer.
My comment didn’t show up from this morning, I submitted it but then hit the back button while it was in for approval.
I too am not allowed to bring any new gadgets into the house. Last December, I ordered an air fryer similar to the Costco one and had my kids give it to me for Christmas. I didn’t hear a peep of protest from my husband! (this is how I got the keurig into the house as well!) Our oven works fine but the off button on the keypad no longer works. In order to shut oven off we have to go downstairs to the breaker panel. 🤣 Turns out to be one of the best gadgets ever! I have cooked whole chicken which has to be flattened a little to sit down in basket. The skin was crispy and the meat was juicy and tender. I like it for fries, shrimp, spring rolls, homemade jalipeno poppers and my son says it makes the best grilled cheese sandwiches too. Love it to reheat the soggy takeout fries (we live out in the middle of nowhere) It evenly browns and crisps and you can just give the basket a shake instead of flipping. It does a much better job than my oven and is super fast and doesn’t heat up the house. Best part is that nobody has to run downstairs to shut it off!!
I received an air frier for Xmas a couple of years ago from my daughter, and I wondered what I would do with that thing since I only cook for myself. (she gave me a small one). I use it a LOT and I LOVE it. I told a friend about it, they got one and they love it too. I mostly cook potatoes and I also do chicken legs which turn out so crispy and juicy like they are fried. Just those two meals are enough for me to enjoy the machine So I am sure the one advertised is excellent too, and at this point, I could have used a bigger size. It’s something you appreciate after you get one. I keep thanking my daughter for that gift, it was so unexpected
I agree with Brenda! I love my air fryer. I have the same problem with not being allowed to bring home any new gadgets. I ordered mine before last December and had my kids give it to me for Christmas. My husband didn’t say a word teehee. Could be because our oven works, but “off” doesn’t work on keypad anymore. We have to go downstairs and shut it off at the breaker 🤣.
My airfryer is the same design as Costco model but different brand. I have cooked whole chickens that I have flattened slightly to fit in basket. The skin gets crispy and the meat stays juicy and tender. Fries, breaded shrimp, spring rolls anything that you would do in oven comes out better and more evenly browned (and nobody here has to run downstairs before digging in!)
Hi Brenda, besides the reheating fries & pizza, what do you actually cook in it? I’m not a big fan of all the small kitchen appliances that claim to do stuff better than the regular aka old fashioned way, take up too much counter real estate and cost too much imho. Yep, I’m old lol 😂, but I “try” to keep an open mind. (Tell that to my husband 😉)
Thanks!
I am also interested in hearing comments about the air fryer. I agree with Jan, would this turn out to be another gadget taking up valuable counter space?
Hi I have a air fryer, different brand but I love it. I do chicken drumsticks in it and they are fabulous and so easy. I don’t keep it on the counter I store it in the cupboard

We use our air fryer for everything! Hot dogs, sausage, fries…. but the best has to be chicken wings! Yum!
