Costco Thanksgiving 2020 Superpost! Turkey, Vegetables, Fruit & Dinner Supplies
Location: Willingdon, BC Costco Warehouse
Hi Everyone,
Thanksgiving is coming up in a couple days and since we are still keeping our distance from our relatives in this household we will be cooking Thanksgiving Dinner and sending it out in takeout containers for our family. I’ve been cooking a turkey every year since I started University (when I tried to thaw a turkey out overnight in a bucket of running water, which did not work) and I just feel like I have to keep up the tradition.
I do like getting most of my supplies at Costco for dinner. Now that I’m cooking with toddlers around the house, I just don’t as much time to prepare as I did before kids. I like that the Costco carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes are nice and big which makes peeling and preparing much easier than using the smaller produce I used to get from the farmers markets. Hopefully, when the kids grow up a bit, I can go back to shopping at the farmers markets!
I tried to take photos of most of the items I usually get for Thanksgiving dinners including a of the fresh produce and fruit aisle. Hopefully you can use this post to help plan for your thanksgiving dinner 🙂
Did anyone see if they have the pre-made mashed potatoes trays they usually sell around this time? I went to the DT Vancouver Costco last night and didn’t see any… Thanks in advance!
Thank you! I totally LOVE the turkey breast roast. Never seen them in Canada except Costco. In the UK they are hugely popular many with added stuffing and bacon on top. They name them turkey crowns .
Finally they came to Canada ..yeah!
It’s turkey sandwiches and pumpkin pie this year on our covered deck with a couple of relatives.
Social distancing of course and BYO blanket haha!
I think Bonnie would approve 🙂
Thanks for another great post. I got sucked in with the eggnog, yay! But I also got the Nonni’s stuffing and we don’t like it! 🙁 We are definitely a Stovetop Stuffing family!
Saskatoon North store are dispensing samples in small plastic Ziploc lunch bags, with the instruction to enjoy at home. I picked up a crunchy cheesy cracker, and also the chocolate and caramel coated pretzel bites. Couldn’t wait to get home! Had to eat in my van in the parking lot. Both were yummy!
I thought Costco food samples were a thing of the past, but this afternoon they were giving out samples of 2 different types of chocolate at Willingdon. However, the chocolate samples were given out in small paper bags, and there was a sign that said PLEASE ENJOY YOUR SAMPLES AT HOME. They probably don’t want you to eat the food samples in the warehouse because you’d have to take off your mask. Something like chocolate is compatible with the new “to go” format, but obviously a paper bag isn’t going to work for all types of food samples, so this will undoubtedly limit what sort of things they can offer.
