Costco Flyer & Costco Sale Items for Oct Nov 11-17 2019 for BC, AB, SK, MB
Location: Langley Costco
Hi Everyone!
Well, let me tell you! I think that November 11 is my favourite day to shop at Costco! It was practically empty the whole time I was there. I hope that most people were spending time with family, or getting ready for Remembrance Day ceremonies. I was able to get all of my shopping completed and still had time to visit my local Remembrance Day ceremony with time to spare!
The Saturday post was pretty successful, so I’ll be trying to get there for the next couple of weeks to see if the extra sales are worth it. If it still popular I’ll try to fit it into the schedule.
This week is the week I’m going to be completing all of my Procter & Gamble – Spend $100 Get $25 Promotion. This week, Charmin Toilet Paper, Bounty Paper Towels, Cascade Platinum, Tide Advanced Power Liquid Laundry Detergent, Bounce Dryer Sheets and Venus Sensitive Disposable Razors were on clearance. I’ll be rounding it out with some Dawn Dish Soap to make the $100. I’ll have to find a place where I can store all this stuff so I don’t forget about it, but I just can’t resist a deal.
I was excited to see that Neil Pasricha’s new book You Are Awesome was in stores! I went to University a long time ago with this guy and he was always hilarious. He was the writer of the blog (and bestselling book 1,000 Awesome Things). I picked up the book on my trip today and look forward to reading it.
As for sale items, I don’t think I have ever seen hockey sticks on sale before so pick one up and give it a shot. Alaskan Premium Ice Melter is on sale (but only until 2019-11-13) so make sure you go in the next two days if you want to save $2.00. Sliced Pork Belly is on sale – I really want to pick some up… anyone have any good recipes? The 44th Street Pork Back Ribs are on sale and I like having these in the freezer for some easy meals and I’ll probably be back to pick up some Olivia Bacon Wrapped Scallops since I don’t think I can resist. I also really like the Harvest Meats Variety Sausages, right now if you buy it on sale, the price is the same as getting 3 sausages for the price of one. V8 Juice doesn’t seem to be stocked at Costco very often, but it is on sale this week for a good price.
By the way, if any of you like pineapple, I cut one when I got home today and my family has already eaten the whole thing. It rivals the pineapple that we get at Costco in Hawaii. It is sweet, tender and not acidic at all. I actually bought one on last Monday when I was in Downtown Vancouver and it was the same thing. They are on sale for $3.99 right now and they are big!
That’s all I have for now. I’ll be posting the entire toy section on Wednesday night so you have something to look forward to!
I appreciate your weekly posts and the time you dedicate to do this. I have noticed that some of the products are not on sale in Alberta that you have taken pictures of and posted. I do use this weekly to plan my shopping list for Costco and do not go until I have reviewed your posts.
Those bacon wrapped scallops were terrible. They had a brand in a few years back that were excellent (had a star in the middle of the toothpick I remember). I barely cooked them and the scallops were tough and spongy, like eating old piece of cheese.
If possible, could you post the executive member coupons when they come up? I stopped getting them in the mail. No worries if not, just thought I’d ask.
Love that you do this, you wonderful human being. Keep up the good work!
Hi Robyn, Yes I’ve tried the Lentil Penne Pasta and everyone in my family did not like it. The texture was ok (al dente) but it had a very strong taste and smell (very “bean like”). The first dish I made was just a light olive oil & garlic and it was really awful tasting. The next time I made a heavy tomato based sauce with a lot of herbs and spices but you could still taste the “beanie-ness”.
If you’re looking for specifically a gluten free option I found the Go Go Quinoa Macaroni a bit better in taste. However because the macaroni pieces are small be sure to undercook otherwise they will break apart easily.
EVERYTHING you just said is accurate except for the beany-ness part CAN be offset by using a little ‘’Liquid Aminos’ (instead of regular soy sauce), IF you’re using that tomato based sauce instead. It actually adds a meaty flavour to the bean-like taste instead. Just add a bit of ‘Aminos’ to freshly drained pasta – in lieu of olive oil -and let it absorb into pasta for a few seconds!
Note: Braggs Liquid Aminos is an amazing kitchen staple, just watch the sodium content like soy sauce. Look them up. I get mine at Superstore, it has multiple uses, and a big bottle lasts a couple of months at least with a family of 4 🙂
Thanks for posting. I just came back from Hawaii, and in the demo at the Dole Plantation, they said that after a pineapple is cut, it should be rinsed to get rid of the enzyme that causes “fuzzy mouth” (or in my case, small blisters). Believe me, I had a lot of pineapple in Hawaii and not one blister!
Thanks for the info on pineapples. I ate large amounts of pineapple when I was in Maui and didn’t have any issues so wondered why I get mouth sores when I eat it here.
Why?? The pineapple is already sweet enough? The last thing we want is to become pre-type 2 diabetes or type 2 from eating too many carbs including sugar, rice.
That’s correct. Sugar content is affected by many things due to a chemical process. Just like ripe fruit has more sugar than unripe. It’s the same fruit still.
Judy uses a Costco website to shame others and show everyone how knowledgeable she is. Even though she is quoting flawed research. A void must be filled somehow. Don’t be like Judy.
If people are worried about getting pre-type 2 or Type 2 diabetes, pineapple is pretty well at the top of the list for sugar content. Naturally occurring of course but sugar is sugar is sugar. Anyone with that concern or following any kind of low carb/keto lifestyle should be steering way clear of pineapple in the first place
That’s true for most fruit. Mexicans use a spice called Tajin, which is available in Canada. There is a little bit of salt, a little chilly and a little dehydrated lime. It’s really good on fruit and some vegetables
I’m finding more and more products on sale are not the same in Alberta, which makes me so sad because I use your blog to make my shopping list!
Thank you so much!
I miss BOOTS!
Me too!!

I also have stopped receiving them in the mail. Do you know why? I have been meaning to ask but forget when I am at the store.
Thank you – always look forward to your posts.
Thanks for sharing the sales!

Just wondering if anyone has tried the Lentil Penne Pasta? Curious how it compares to regular penne?

Thank you so much for your feedback. Sounds like I should avoid it.

I may just have to try that, it might explain why I only get cuts in my mouth sometimes.
I am going to have to try that. I have given up eating fresh pineapple because of the “burning mouth” I get.

I thought it was just that I was weird! Good to know this little truck! Thanks!!
Look forward to your weekly flyer. I share it with my family and it also helps my budget. Thanks!
Good morning and thank you for posting
Good afternoon Evelyn Tan, we missed your obligatory good morning last week 😉
I really want some pineapple now. Thanks for your update every week. I clicked on some ads for you.
Just read a post if you sprinkle some salt on pineapple it enhances the sweetness
Why?? The pineapple is already sweet enough? The last thing we want is to become pre-type 2 diabetes or type 2 from eating too many carbs including sugar, rice.
Obviously it doesn’t have more sugar if you put salt on. Duh
You obviously never understood chemistry.
salt often enhances sweet flavours, and doesn’t add any carbs or sugar…just changes how our tongues interpret the tastes.
That’s correct. Sugar content is affected by many things due to a chemical process. Just like ripe fruit has more sugar than unripe. It’s the same fruit still.

+1
don’t be a Judy
That’s not how you become diabetic.

Chile I meant!
True. We grew up doing that in Trinidad .
