Costco Flyer & Costco Sale Items for Jan 25-31, 2021, for BC, AB, SK, MB
Location: Burnaby (Brighton), BC Costco Warehouse
Hi Everyone!
I hope you are all doing well. Today I went to Brighton Costco in Burnaby since I haven’t been there in a while. I thought that this might help skip some of the crowds and lines that have been forming lately. It was a really pleasant experience. I found parking right near the entrance of the store and there was no wait at the cashier! I’ll will definitely go back!
This weekend’s snowstorm was a bit of a bust so we ended up staying inside in the rain and watching movies. There are lots of items on sale still so I’ll just leave the photos up here.
Thanks again to everyone who has signed up for the Early Access membership! The website is being worked on right now and I’m excited to roll it out soon! Remember that this is the last week to sign up for the FOUNDERS discount. The Founders Discount grandfathers your rate at $19.97 ($10.00 off) and gives you early access to all the posts!
For those of you who are interested in supporting the blog, I have reactivate the “FOUNDERS” discount code! We will be making some significant changes to the blog this year and are using the proceeds to improve the website and add a search and notification function for sales.
The Early Access Membership not only allows you to support the blog directly, but it also grants you a personal login to access the sales posts as soon as they are published! I have also included a premium newsletter service that notifies you as soon as a post is published!
If you are interested in the Early Access Membership, you can join at the following link: https://cocowest.ca/register/
I guess I’ve always been the type of person who goes to a lot of different costco locations so I’ve always noticed the discrepancies between locations. For example a big one is hockey tape – Willingdon is the only Vancouver location that consistently stocks it but it sometimes shows up at my regular location. Now that I’m in Calgary a lot of items are different in terms of in-store sales AND with the same local location variation that exists in Vancouver.
Anyways everyone can have a voice because you are a light-handed moderator and I think that is probably for the best. Just ignore the rude people and keep doing what you’ve been doing which is gradually add to the site features as you see fit. People are still welcome to go to the store and wander around aimlessly.
Thanks for all the posts, each and every week, Mr. T. I don’t know quite how you endure the petty complaints, rude jabs and ‘inedible’ questions (kitchen post). The comment above about web traffic driving up your ad revenue – such a ridiculous and asinine perspective. If I ran a site like this, I would tell them all to go pound sand. Division in Canadian society? I see it as a section of ungrateful, entitled folk, complaining about an invaluable service. You are a prince amoung the rabble.
lol, here I was thinking it might be time to turn off the comment section. Adding up/down is like adding fuel to a barely smoldering fire. FWIW, I think you do a fine job of moderating. The odd petty comment kinda keeps it interesting.
Hey, so I noticed the sale on 908g “double pack” Cardinal ribs and went to my freezer to check and I still had a pack from last year…. 1.35kg… huh. So they’ve lopped almost 1/2 kg off and I never even noticed. I know pork and beef have been at a premium for awhile but that’s pretty bogus.
Oh my. Whatever you do, please avoid the up/downvote option. That is insulting, demeaning, and abusive.
When someone disagrees with your comment, say, that food item tasted terrible, what will they do when they see a up or down vote icon? They’ll downvote it whether they disagree with it or if it’s out of spite (malicious).
I have seen countless of fact based comments on RFD (your old stomping grounds) and on Reddit where they get downvoted all because the culture of that thread was dominated by a a few and then the rest follow the shape of the thread.
It’s not rationale to see things any other way. The abusive nature of the downvoting and upvoting system far supersedes any benefit.
This site/blog has turned into a childish forum where people to rant and rave. I can see you love to have controversy and debate here, it brings more visitors. If I was to speculate, I would say this is won’t be bringing in any order and filtering out rants and raves — pity.
Yes he was here from RFD when it was a strict volunteer thing when the previous guy went MIA. He eventually then decided a dedicated website was more appropriate. Eventually keeping up with maintenance costs money and his own time, so asking for people to subscribe for early access to provide a more enhanced experience for viewers was necessary to help fund this project.
Paid or unpaid subscribers should just appreciate someone else is doing this. If you don’t like it, don’t depend on it.
I have noticed errors before but instead of conplaining and going beyond pointing it out (demanding, like Donna did), i am only just appreciating all the hard work here by Tynan.
I wish all these kinds of comments about “Donna” and “Karen” would just stop. Whether they’re in defence of the commenter or against, I suggest you add a feedback section and from this moment forward and stop approving such comments. It’s frustrating and common to read lazy or half-intelligent comments.
It goes without saying in the world of the internet, forums, social media, and blogs you’re going to have friends, clicks, and others arguing their or others’ positions and congregate to one location (like here) and defend their friends (or the like-minded). What we have shown now, more than ever is how systematically even in Canada, we are very divided on many levels.
I feel Donna’s tone was a little rude. I believe she has some friends who came and supported her here. It may even be her or her family.
And it’s for this exact reason why I feel these off-topic comments must stop. If people fail to make an effort and go through your site or don’t read the common questions, that’s their fault. If I was a premium member, I’d be choked having to read all these petty comments/remarks. This isn’t Facebook, Parler, or Reddit.
I respectfully suggest you don’t approve of those kinds of posts in the future. If they have a personal issue, they can take it up with you via the “contact us” feature.
Hi Sasha, thanks for your feedback. I feel lucky that this blog has a really good user base and I don’t have to delete many comments (expect for SPAM) I try to keep a light hand while moderating comments unless they are rude or completely off topic. Unless the situation changes, I’ll probably keep the same level of moderation. I hope to be able to update the comment section to be able to upvote or downvote comments which may help clean up the comment section too 🙂
I am going to jump in and suggest that in no way was Donna rude. She was direct and concise with her feedback but in no way did she slander or disrespect the great work that goes into this page. Obviously she paid for early access and wants more from what she paid for and is entitled to that.
Steph Hsu and others that have given Donna crap for being rude, should realize that they are the ones being rude. I’ll reiterate what others have said, lets give everyone a break. Life’s too short eh!
Have you seen Costco Kirkland wipes? I didn’t see any the last 2 weeks I went. But started seeing hello bello brand. Are they discontinuing the Kirkland wipes?
Thank you, as others, my favorite day is Tuesday too. I love coming here and seeing things that are on sale and then going shopping. Truly appreciate your help.
Thank you for what you do. I usually check here b4 I drive to the city for my costco trip. Since I am in Alberta, BC sales and dates are sometimes different, but I would say about 90% of what you post we have. Knowing that supply, suppliers, and different province there will be odd small differences, and I go in expecting such. Still your blog will put things on my list to make sure I watch for. Thank you for doing this and providing this service..
Certain comments (that may be considered criticism by some) are actually suggestions in disguise. You may want to consider Donna’s comments for your paid service – filtering your list based on sale, clearance and new – if you haven’t already. No need to publish this comment given that it’s of no real use for anyone else but you. Hopefully you’re not as sensitive as your ardent defenders!
Thank you so much for your posts. They help me organize my weekly Costco shop and find things I would not have known about. We’ve been strictly isolating since March 2020 due to covid and your posts have helped give us something normal to look forward to every week. Your an amazing person for taking the huge amount of time and commitment to do this every week especially with a young family. Thank you and please know that you are so appreciated.
I live in Saskatchewan and quite often items that are on sale in the BC stores are not on sale here. I think expiry dates sometimes can make a difference on whether it goes on sale here. Thank you for all the work you do, I don’t go shopping until I check your post.
Thanks for your hard work each & every week! Love your posts!
Has anyone else noticed the change in KIRKLAND TOILET PAPER?
It used to be a decent product for a decent price, now it is thinner, cheaper and a roll seems to disappear twice as quickly.
I will add a bit more wood to the fire.
Q. Why are items listed here for sale here are not on sale at your warehouse
A. Because warehouses sometimes are on different sales timelines for UNADVERTISED sale items due to logistics, timing, or just because. Only advertised sale items in the weekly flyer are on same timeline across a costco sales region ie. costco west
Q. Why show expired sales items?
A. There are probably several answers for this.
1. if you are paying for early access, it may not be expired when you have access but if you aren’t paying for early access, then it may be expired by the time you look at the blog.
2. Expiration dates on UNADVERTISED sale items (ie. not in the weekly flyer), CAN BE hit or miss by warehouse. For example, sometimes unadvertised items for sale in Vancouver that have expired may not show on sale in Calgary warehouses until a week or two later probably due to logistics. Given the comments on why people are asking this question, this is probably more common than people believe. So items that have expired on this week’s list don’t necessarily mean its not valid for the warehouses in other provinces.
3. Costco seems to be doing more limited time sales that vary by warehouse. Sure there are the M-S and F-S sales cycles but I suspect some warehouses are playing with some middle of week sales to drive additional customer traffic in slow periods. For example the occasional rotisserie chicken sales in Vancouver aren’t always replicated in other regions. I don’t know how true this is but a couple of clothing staff have said that they do most of the clothing clearance markdowns on Tuesday
Did you know…
Brighton Warehouse is the first Costco outside of the United States. It opened in October 1985 which was previously occupied by Furniture Fair (of Woodward Stores).
Thank you again, sir. I wouldn’t recommend Facebook to anyone and I suggest everyone should try to wean themselves off of Facebook’s platform and close their account permanently. It’s such an unethical company. Mostly older adults now use Facebook (and there are many) but they’re either oblivious to the privacy and advertising implications and more (or they just don’t care).
As far as the Logitech mouse on clearance at Costco goes, it’s my opinion that it’s on clearance because it’s not a good seller. Logitech mice for this model doesn’t last long at all, whereas other mice especially wired can last 10 years and more. Even the USB dongle versions don’t last long (for the most part). Most of these Logitech models (and we tried many) have connectivity issues (even the wired ones). Save yourself the stress and look for another model/brand.
We REALLY appreciate what you do … THANK YOU! We, too, are seniors, we shop for others, and love reading your blog BEFORE we shop … this makes it very easy. Thanks again!
Steph Hsu, you need to chill out. Donna is an elderly lady who depends on the info on this website. She could ask for this and she wasn’t rude in asking. Maybe you were the one who misread the tone in her message. Honestly, your rudeness towards her is inexcusable.
I appreciate and look forward to these posts each week. It’s incredibly helpful to be able to screenshot items and send them to my husband so he knows exactly what to look for and at what price. Thank you so much!
review from nytimes.com/wirecutter
We’ve researched and tested mice for years with several different panels of testers, and we’ve found that the Logitech M720 Triathlon is more comfortable for a variety of hand sizes and grip styles than nearly every other wireless mouse we’ve considered.
The Logitech M720 Triathlon can pair with, and quickly switch between, three devices via Bluetooth, or you can connect it via the included USB dongle. It also has six buttons that you can customize using Logitech’s Options software and a scroll wheel that toggles between ratcheted and smooth scrolling. And its single AA battery should last for two years, according to Logitech. But the Triathlon is contoured for right-handed mouse users—so it’s not ideal for lefties—and it doesn’t work on glass or mirrored surfaces.
I find your post invaluable. I live 1.5 hours from the nearest Costco…. I go based on your posts. It also gives me a heads up when something is on sale this week that wasn’t when I was last there. It reminds me to get a refund on the difference when applicable. Although receipts are not necessary for the refund, I keep them b/c it reminds me of the date I purchased certain items and makes it easier for the staff. So grateful for your diligence.
Thank you for your post each week! I look forward to Tuesdays because of you! I live a half hour from the city where my local Costco is, it is very helpful when making my shopping list before I drive into town. Have a great week!!
Some sites, such as Facebook, do have groups that provide regional sale items. What I appreciate about this site is that the list is a complete one that is updated consistently and the items are organized well. I know that this takes time and work, so I hope that he is compensated for it through subscriptions and ad revenue. I use this site regularly and recommend it highly to family and friends. It’s possible that this site is maintained solely to help shoppers but I think it’s a bit naive to think that it isn’t also a business. That isn’t meant as a criticism; if anything, it’s a compliment.
Thank you for all that you do, each and every week! This service saves me so much time and money and I look forward to the posts. Keep up your excellent work!
Can’t believe the rudeness and petty dialogue on this page – if you are going to make toxic remarks and if you don’t want to receive the emails, hit UNSUBSCRIBE – it’s that easy!
I for one 100% appreciate receiving these updates into my Inbox and have saved $$$$$ from being advised of the offers – thank-you!
Thank you for all you do each and every week! Just curious though, my friend said Brighton doesnt carry as many products as the bigger Costcos do. Do you find that? Thanks 🙂
One spelling mistake, and I mention it only because I know you want the database searchable, plus it made me laugh: Stoney creek shaved market beer! Had me thinking Costco BC started selling alcohol haha
If there are people that feel they can do a better job please do so and let us know where you would like to provide the information to us for free. We will then point out every tiny error to make to be “helpful.”
I would be grateful for HALF of what you do. You save me so much time and money. Don’t listen to the negative an perfectionist personalities on this page. There are so many quite grateful people 🙂 Have a great day!
Thank you so much! I’ve been enjoying your blog for quite some time now and must say, I really look forward to it each week! It is often this blog that makes me decide whether I need to go to Costco or wait another week.
Much appreciated
Thank you for a great post! I totally appreciate what you do every week. The only problem is that I think I will save money by shopping for what is on sale and then I end up spending more! lol It is all good, thanks again.
Step Hsu, she said she is paying and she didn’t apologize (why should she by pointing out for the mistake?) Plus because some of us not paying doesn’t mean they don’t have saying. People who are not paying causing the traffic on this page. This means because of us he is getting ads on his website. So don’t brush people off because they are not paying. Yes they are not paying but causing the traffic to the website which attracts companies to advertise on his website. And as you can see there are a lot of ads on the page.
Thanks again for a great post. I agree with Steph – DONNA is very rude! This is a free service you’re providing and you’re going above and beyond to bring the information to us. I humbly thank you for your dedication to doing so. It means a lot.
The AirPods are actually still on sale till Jan29th – so maybe people can just unfollow or stop being ungrateful for what you do! I greatly appreciate this!
thanks very much for doing this it must be a lot of work. Just one correction. On the
picture of the buffalo socks it has a Roots socks price tag. Not sure if there is a difference
in price or not but just wanted to bring it to your attention.
They are definitely paying for a service. Regardless if its profitable or not yet, don’t delude yourself into thinking its not the end goal. It’s not out of the question to expect things to be accurate.
Also, look up definition of volunteer?
No offense (if any) intended to the site owner, I’ve been following you since RFD.
I agree completely with you, Steph. There is a BIG difference between giving constructive criticism and being rude/demanding. Paying for a service does not preclude you from being nice and appreciative to someone who is largely doing this on a volunteer basis. Also, there is more than one seniors day from what I understand. So, if Donna doesn’t feel like paying for this service is worth it due to a VERY RARE mistake in expiry dates, she can wait and go to Costco later in the week. Be safe, be kind.
Sorry Donna, even with your apology, your comments are still rude. You are not paying for a service. You are contributing to help improve a website managed by a volunteer who spends their time to post photos of their shop. Please remember that. Why would you look through the posts while you are shopping? The intention is to look here before you make the trip, hence saving you a trip. If you are shopping for other people, you should be doing it from the kindness of your own heart, so please don’t take it out on someone else who is also posting out of the kindness of their own heart. If it’s such a hassle for you then don’t do it and save yourself some stress.
Don’t let anyone say to you anything different. Adding the expiry dates of the items plus the item number is PRICELESS. This info is extremely valuable. The needs to the many outweigh the needs of the few!
Speaking of needs. What is everyone doing now to get their inkjet cartridges refilled. Is there anyone who they swear by locally?
Thank you for editing and updating the expiry dates. It’s like a whole new post!! I can even see some that were in the February flyer.
As you may or may not know, Manitoba has been in code red for over 2 months. I am a senior who takes advantage of the early operating hours and shop for 2 other families besides my own. I try not to spend more time than necessary in the store which is one of the reasons up to date information is important to me. Keep up the accuracy. I depend on it.
Thanks again. The snowfall warning certainly was a bust, that’s for sure. No snow at all in our area of Metro Vancouver…not one flake this weekend or today.
Just a reminder, we were really disappointed with the broccoli cheddar soup. It was very watery.
Also, Costco has a notice on their website that as of Feb 14 (those locations that still offered ink jet inking and more) weill close for good. This is in both Canada and USA. This is what it says:
The photo department at all Costco locations will close on Sunday, February 14, 2021.
The following products will remain available on CostcoPhotoCentre.ca for ship to home or business:
Prints, Enlargements & Posters
Photo Greeting Cards
Canvas & Metal Prints
Photo Books & Calendars
Photo Blankets & Other Photo Gifts
The following services will not be available after Sunday, February 14, 2021:
Ink Refill
Passport Photos
Video Home Movie Transfer Service
Custom framing and plaquing
Thanks for your swift reply. I would like to be able to skim the items while shopping without having to read each and every expiry date. I do expect to see what’s on sale at the current time or in the future ( such as the February offers ) as they are what’s relevant. I thought this was the service I am paying for.
Hi Donna, I just went through all the expiry dates on the photos I post this week and there was only one with a sale date that was expired – The Apple Airpods. These were posted because the in-store price tag had not been changed and I did not notice it while editing. Are there other price expired price tags that you have seen on this post or previous posts that I am missing?
I have noticed that there are items listed that are not on sale, items that are expired and find it difficult to navigate the list especially when I’m going through the store. Are you no longer editing?
Hi Donna, I haven’t changed the way I have been taking photos in years. I post sale items, clearance items and new items that catch my interested (which are the ones at regular price). Sometimes there may be a sale item or two that had a price tag that has not been changed and sometimes I do not catch it on the editing process. However, the sale expiry dates are clearly displayed in the caption of each photo.
I appreciate you!
I guess I’ve always been the type of person who goes to a lot of different costco locations so I’ve always noticed the discrepancies between locations. For example a big one is hockey tape – Willingdon is the only Vancouver location that consistently stocks it but it sometimes shows up at my regular location.

Gail, the NeilMed Sinus Rinse is in the February preview post.
hello! thanks for your amazing weekly posts. just wondering if you know when the cricuts come out at costco
Donna – then stop shopping for others. I am grateful for this posting. Thank you for your time and effort. I appreciate your hard work.
I am pretty sure I saw the NeilMed SinusRinse on sale on one of your posts this week and now I can’t find?
Thanks,
Gail

Has anyone else noticed the change in KIRKLAND TOILET PAPER?
It used to be a decent product for a decent price, now it is thinner, cheaper and a roll seems to disappear twice as quickly.
I will add a bit more wood to the fire.
Q. Why are items listed here for sale here are not on sale at your warehouse
A. Because warehouses sometimes are on different sales timelines for UNADVERTISED sale items due to logistics, timing, or just because. Only advertised sale items in the weekly flyer are on same timeline across a costco sales region ie. costco west
Q. Why show expired sales items?
A. There are probably several answers for this.
1. if you are paying for early access, it may not be expired when you have access but if you aren’t paying for early access, then it may be expired by the time you look at the blog.
2. Expiration dates on UNADVERTISED sale items (ie. not in the weekly flyer), CAN BE hit or miss by warehouse. For example, sometimes unadvertised items for sale in Vancouver that have expired may not show on sale in Calgary warehouses until a week or two later probably due to logistics. Given the comments on why people are asking this question, this is probably more common than people believe. So items that have expired on this week’s list don’t necessarily mean its not valid for the warehouses in other provinces.
3. Costco seems to be doing more limited time sales that vary by warehouse. Sure there are the M-S and F-S sales cycles but I suspect some warehouses are playing with some middle of week sales to drive additional customer traffic in slow periods. For example the occasional rotisserie chicken sales in Vancouver aren’t always replicated in other regions. I don’t know how true this is but a couple of clothing staff have said that they do most of the clothing clearance markdowns on Tuesday

We’ve researched and tested mice for years with several different panels of testers, and we’ve found that the Logitech M720 Triathlon is more comfortable for a variety of hand sizes and grip styles than nearly every other wireless mouse we’ve considered.
The Logitech M720 Triathlon can pair with, and quickly switch between, three devices via Bluetooth, or you can connect it via the included USB dongle. It also has six buttons that you can customize using Logitech’s Options software and a scroll wheel that toggles between ratcheted and smooth scrolling. And its single AA battery should last for two years, according to Logitech. But the Triathlon is contoured for right-handed mouse users—so it’s not ideal for lefties—and it doesn’t work on glass or mirrored surfaces.
I find your post invaluable. I live 1.5 hours from the nearest Costco…. I go based on your posts. It also gives me a heads up when something is on sale this week that wasn’t when I was last there. It reminds me to get a refund on the difference when applicable. Although receipts are not necessary for the refund, I keep them b/c it reminds me of the date I purchased certain items and makes it easier for the staff. So grateful for your diligence.
Thanks, awesome job as always.
I think the pandemic is stressing everyone out!
We just need to chill & ride this thing out!
Cheers
Thank you for your post each week! I look forward to Tuesdays because of you! I live a half hour from the city where my local Costco is, it is very helpful when making my shopping list before I drive into town. Have a great week!!
Thank you for what you do. I don’t take it for granted how much work this takes!
Some sites, such as Facebook, do have groups that provide regional sale items. What I appreciate about this site is that the list is a complete one that is updated consistently and the items are organized well. I know that this takes time and work, so I hope that he is compensated for it through subscriptions and ad revenue. I use this site regularly and recommend it highly to family and friends. It’s possible that this site is maintained solely to help shoppers but I think it’s a bit naive to think that it isn’t also a business. That isn’t meant as a criticism; if anything, it’s a compliment.
Thank you for all that you do, each and every week! This service saves me so much time and money and I look forward to the posts. Keep up your excellent work!
Your posts are amazing! During these Covid times they have helped me make my list and get out of the store faster!
A person can zoom in on the photo to see expiry dates.
Thank you for all you do!!!!!
Just a Simple BIG THANK YOU! My Family works at costco and we all look at your site to check what is on sale. Much appreciated!
Can’t believe the rudeness and petty dialogue on this page – if you are going to make toxic remarks and if you don’t want to receive the emails, hit UNSUBSCRIBE – it’s that easy!
I for one 100% appreciate receiving these updates into my Inbox and have saved $$$$$ from being advised of the offers – thank-you!
Thank you for all you do each and every week! Just curious though, my friend said Brighton doesnt carry as many products as the bigger Costcos do. Do you find that? Thanks 🙂
One spelling mistake, and I mention it only because I know you want the database searchable, plus it made me laugh: Stoney creek shaved market beer! Had me thinking Costco BC started selling alcohol haha
5051019 STONEY CREEK SHAVED MARKET BEER 3 X 375 g $15.99.
Something else on you mind? LOL
If there are people that feel they can do a better job please do so and let us know where you would like to provide the information to us for free. We will then point out every tiny error to make to be “helpful.”
I would be grateful for HALF of what you do. You save me so much time and money. Don’t listen to the negative an perfectionist personalities on this page. There are so many quite grateful people 🙂 Have a great day!
Great job as usual. No one should complain about the work you do for all of us. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much! I’ve been enjoying your blog for quite some time now and must say, I really look forward to it each week! It is often this blog that makes me decide whether I need to go to Costco or wait another week.
Much appreciated
Thank you for a great post! I totally appreciate what you do every week. The only problem is that I think I will save money by shopping for what is on sale and then I end up spending more! lol It is all good, thanks again.
Well said, Steph Hsu.
Thank you for continually posting on your website. It is appreciated more than you know.
Step Hsu, she said she is paying and she didn’t apologize (why should she by pointing out for the mistake?) Plus because some of us not paying doesn’t mean they don’t have saying. People who are not paying causing the traffic on this page. This means because of us he is getting ads on his website. So don’t brush people off because they are not paying. Yes they are not paying but causing the traffic to the website which attracts companies to advertise on his website. And as you can see there are a lot of ads on the page.
Thanks again for a great post. I agree with Steph – DONNA is very rude! This is a free service you’re providing and you’re going above and beyond to bring the information to us. I humbly thank you for your dedication to doing so. It means a lot.
The AirPods are actually still on sale till Jan29th – so maybe people can just unfollow or stop being ungrateful for what you do! I greatly appreciate this!
Your services are soooo appreciated!
Keep up the good work you have already been doing!
thanks very much for doing this it must be a lot of work. Just one correction. On the
picture of the buffalo socks it has a Roots socks price tag. Not sure if there is a difference
in price or not but just wanted to bring it to your attention.
@Steph Hsu
They are definitely paying for a service. Regardless if its profitable or not yet, don’t delude yourself into thinking its not the end goal. It’s not out of the question to expect things to be accurate.
Also, look up definition of volunteer?
No offense (if any) intended to the site owner, I’ve been following you since RFD.
Well said, Steph. Some people are just so entitled. Such a “Karen”.
I agree completely with you, Steph. There is a BIG difference between giving constructive criticism and being rude/demanding. Paying for a service does not preclude you from being nice and appreciative to someone who is largely doing this on a volunteer basis. Also, there is more than one seniors day from what I understand. So, if Donna doesn’t feel like paying for this service is worth it due to a VERY RARE mistake in expiry dates, she can wait and go to Costco later in the week. Be safe, be kind.
Thank you! Always appreciated!
Thank you for everything you do. You just saved me a trip! 🙂 Stay safe!
Sorry Donna, even with your apology, your comments are still rude. You are not paying for a service. You are contributing to help improve a website managed by a volunteer who spends their time to post photos of their shop. Please remember that. Why would you look through the posts while you are shopping? The intention is to look here before you make the trip, hence saving you a trip. If you are shopping for other people, you should be doing it from the kindness of your own heart, so please don’t take it out on someone else who is also posting out of the kindness of their own heart. If it’s such a hassle for you then don’t do it and save yourself some stress.
I want it to snow! Lol.
Don’t let anyone say to you anything different. Adding the expiry dates of the items plus the item number is PRICELESS. This info is extremely valuable. The needs to the many outweigh the needs of the few!
Speaking of needs. What is everyone doing now to get their inkjet cartridges refilled. Is there anyone who they swear by locally?
Thank you for editing and updating the expiry dates. It’s like a whole new post!! I can even see some that were in the February flyer.
As you may or may not know, Manitoba has been in code red for over 2 months. I am a senior who takes advantage of the early operating hours and shop for 2 other families besides my own. I try not to spend more time than necessary in the store which is one of the reasons up to date information is important to me. Keep up the accuracy. I depend on it.
Thank you!
Thanks again. The snowfall warning certainly was a bust, that’s for sure. No snow at all in our area of Metro Vancouver…not one flake this weekend or today.
Just a reminder, we were really disappointed with the broccoli cheddar soup. It was very watery.
Also, Costco has a notice on their website that as of Feb 14 (those locations that still offered ink jet inking and more) weill close for good. This is in both Canada and USA. This is what it says:
The photo department at all Costco locations will close on Sunday, February 14, 2021.
The following products will remain available on CostcoPhotoCentre.ca for ship to home or business:
Prints, Enlargements & Posters
Photo Greeting Cards
Canvas & Metal Prints
Photo Books & Calendars
Photo Blankets & Other Photo Gifts
The following services will not be available after Sunday, February 14, 2021:
Ink Refill
Passport Photos
Video Home Movie Transfer Service
Custom framing and plaquing
I am sorry people are talking to you like that. Thank you for your service.
Thanks for your swift reply. I would like to be able to skim the items while shopping without having to read each and every expiry date. I do expect to see what’s on sale at the current time or in the future ( such as the February offers ) as they are what’s relevant. I thought this was the service I am paying for.
Hi Donna, I just went through all the expiry dates on the photos I post this week and there was only one with a sale date that was expired – The Apple Airpods. These were posted because the in-store price tag had not been changed and I did not notice it while editing. Are there other price expired price tags that you have seen on this post or previous posts that I am missing?
As always thank you.
I have noticed that there are items listed that are not on sale, items that are expired and find it difficult to navigate the list especially when I’m going through the store. Are you no longer editing?
Hi Donna, I haven’t changed the way I have been taking photos in years. I post sale items, clearance items and new items that catch my interested (which are the ones at regular price). Sometimes there may be a sale item or two that had a price tag that has not been changed and sometimes I do not catch it on the editing process. However, the sale expiry dates are clearly displayed in the caption of each photo.
