Hello and happy Friday evening everybody!
Hopefully this you all safe and healthy and ready for an awesome October weekend of sale hunting and socially distanced activities! (such as Netflix and chill w/ a big bowl of popcorn!)
That is actually on our agenda for tomorrow evening, we’re kicking off October with take-out pizza and picking out the first scary movie of the season. So on that note, we need to find a scary movie to watch… Any suggestions?
Costco was quite busy today, first time I actually had to wait in line for a month or so. But thankfully everyone was calm and no one was getting rambunctious with their bumper-carts, this made it a nice relaxing Costco visit.
A few things popped out at me today, this Bodum set looked really nice!
Usually the French presses themselves are $39.99 so adding a grinder and an electric kettle is a great deal! Though we have all 3 of these components at home (Sultan Salton the 2nd boiler of water anyone???) as we have 1 coffee grinder and 1 spice grinder, so it may be overkill.
I will say however that these Bodum products (Grinder, French press and Kettle) all felt really nice and durable. So it’s tempting to have as a back up, or maybe a gift? (for myself perhaps???)
Costco has begun its shift to all the winter goods with the additions of the Alaskan premium Ice melter (22.5kg bag @ $18.99), windshield De-icer ( 3x445g @ $16.99) and Polar extreme Windshield cover with side panels for $14.99.
I had something similar last year and though I really only used it when there was an ice storm or freezing rain it saved me alot of time scraping ice off the windshield and that is a big win & time saver in the winter time.
Bugatti had a kiosk set up today with lots of really nice looking backpacks, purses and messenger bags.
They all felt really nice, and looked pretty sweet as well. These will be available in store until October 11th according to the Costco.ca special event page.
I’ve been keeping my eye on printers. We need one for office-y type stuff so I guess we don’t need a super fancy one and this HP office Jet printer seems like it may fit that bill.
Coming in at $50 off isn’t a bad deal either, but before I pull the trigger (just because it’s on sale) I’d like to research it a bit, anyone used these printers before or have a better suggestion?
Nyquil has a few items on sale as well, and now might be a good time to have some cold medication available at home. Nyquil Day/Night Cold & Flu 48 + 24 is on sale for -$4.00 @ 13.99 until Oct.11th, Nyquil Complete Cold & Flu 40 + 20 is on sale for $-$4.00 @ 14.99 and Nyquil complete 2 x 354ml is on sale for -$4.00 @ 14.99 as well until Oct. 4th.
OK folks, I’m just about out of steam. Dexter is lying on the couch snoring away, Ewok is sitting on the bar stool staring at me wondering why I’m not coming to bed yet and work is rapidly approaching as it tends to do on Saturday mornings… So…
Ewok says good night folks.
I’m saying good night as well, Have a safe and awesome weekend!
As we are headed in to the second wave of COVID-19 and kids are heading back to school 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
So there you go, a little reading material for you.
Be kind, be safe and stay healthy!

Something to consider for the printer purchase is how much the replacement ink will cost. Sometimes cheap printers have expensive ink.
Get the Epson. Ink is crazy expensive with Hp is you print frequently. Epson ink jets are more pricy but ink will last so long!
Another thing – how often will printer be used? Dried up ink cartridges are frustrating.
For overall price, you may want to consider going with a laser-jet printer if only using for black/white – toner cartridges last a long time.
I too highly recommend a laser printer over an inkjet one. (Then order your replacement high capacity toner cartridges from costco.ca, they are much cheaper… high capacity cartridges are a must, a little more expensive than regular ones but usually have at least double the amount of toner inside).
I just got rid of my office jet for an epson ecotank. I was replacing ink cartridges way too often and we weren’t printing very much. Ink replacements were quite expensive too, i had replaced the ink 3 or 4 times in less than a year.
With the epson the refill is about 25-35% of the cost and likely i will only need to change it once a year (and my printing neess have increased drastically due to homeschooling and other paperwork we now need to print at home)
Thanks again for all your efforts – they really help me with planning my shopping trips!
FYI – I bought the Bugatti crossbody bag – the $89.99 one – in tan brown leather when it was available for the same price online. I hemmed and hawed over it (weird expression!) for a while. I don’t switch purses often like many do because of the inconvenience of having to transfer everything from one to another. (Invariably, my friends who switch often need something when we’re out that they didn’t transfer because they were sure they wouldn’t need it.) 🙂 And I’m very picky – they have to have just the right number of pockets for easy access to the myriad of things I “have to” have with me at all times. 🙂 Anyway, I kept it and, although there are always things that aren’t quite as good as another one, it’s working pretty well. And I love tan leather! BTW, it could easily be for any gender.
Thank you for the weekend update.
Brought the HP printer at the start of COVID19 to setup home office, returned it the next day …
printing quality wasn’t good, unable to connect to my wifi setup properly hence have to reset every time whe I turned it on. So invested in a Brothers multifunctional laserjet instead and so far so good. Hope this helps.
Thank you very much for your weekend update. I absolutely must get out tomorrow!!
Have to stock up on cheese & crackers, bread, milk, meat, and of course, Aussie Bites.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and and stay safe everyone! 👩🏻🦰

We have a laser printer as well. It’s a Brother printer. I don’t even know if it has the ability to print in colour as we only use black and white which makes the ink much cheaper And it lasts a long time. We get the ink on Amazon, off brand, and it’s been the best solution for us so far.
Thanks. Timely as always! Btw, I have harvested a bunch of jalapeños & remembered you either baked/pickled or froze them on a post awhile back.
Which was it & how?
I so agree with Susan in Ottawa about switching purses and tan leather! They look gorgeous but sadly, I “honestly” 🙄 don’t need another purse. However, that said, I could claim to own a Bugatti! Ok it’s not the car lol 😝.
That Bodum package would make a great couple gift imho. I know what you mean about the product feeling good…. we have their Bistro burr grinder.
Thanks again for your shopping efforts, pics and posting, especially during these trying and tiring times!
Cheers ‘n’ chill, Jan
