Location: Burnaby (Willingdon), BC Costco Warehouse
I’d like to give a big shout out to Greenhouse Juices for sponsoring this week’s post! It is with this company’s support that I can continue to offer great content and help to grow and improve the blog! If you have been to the warehouse lately, you may have already noticed Greenhouse’s newest product Organic Probiotic Lemonade which is now available in all Western Canada Costco locations in the refrigerated drinks aisle! Please help support Greenhouse by picking up a pair of bottles on your next shopping trip!
Summer is fast approaching, I’ve been looking for a nice refreshing drink with a low sugar count that I’m not afraid to share with guests (when we can finally have guests over). Greenhouse Organic Probiotic Lemonades are Certified Organic, Plant-Based, Non-GMO AND made in Canada. It has the perfect balance of tangy and sweet that look for in a drink on a hot day. This Lemonade is made with 1 Billion Colony Forming Units that help support your immune system and to control inflammation. The re-usable glass bottle helps keep your drink cool. As always, at Costco, you will not find a lower price for these products!

Hi Everyone!
I hope you are all well! Both me and my wife got our COVID-19 vaccine yesterday and so we are starting to breathe a little easier now that an end is in sight and a future where our kids can see their grandparents is in the future!
There were a lot of items on sale this week and I’m a pretty tired today (the baby still gets up 3 times a night), so I’ll just leave the photos here for you to peruse.
Website Update!
We are still hard at work updating the website, but the main parts are almost all completed! Thank you for all your patience, while we roll this update out! The search function will be completed within two weeks. The hard part will be data entering the old price tag information into the database.
Hopefully you will have already noticed that the site loads much more quickly and will have some more modern features! You may also have noticed that some of the ads have been removed to make the browsing experience easier 🙂
Do the sales vary by store? I went to Costco in Vancouver to get blueberries and they weren’t on sale. I thought maybe I had it wrong, but I see the picture and sale supposed to be until close today.
We bought these KN95 masks. We were very disappointed with them. They are not “self sealing” per se like we bought at some Asian stores. The ones at Costco leaked badly, We couldn’t get a good seal. In contrast, the slightly more expensive KN95 we bought at T&T and Korean supermarkets fit quite well. My spouse has a sharp nose and I have an average size. We had to return them. In general, none of these masks from Med Sup fit well.
Hi Sandra, I had to get the salmon skins just cause I was curious. It definitely packs a nice crunch, but it tastes a bit sweet to me. I was not too thrilled with that sweetness, would have preferred a bit more salt to add that “umami” for my tastes.
You don’t really get a a lot so you can power through the bag easily. I really didn’t get the “salted egg yolk” taste very much, so was disappointed with that. I would not buy again, since it is a bit pricey.
I find Costco slipping drastically…shopped yesterday at the Costco at the north end in Saskatoon, poor sales , yogurt wasn’t sale priced…at least no signage. I have found since covid I had not shopped elsewhere, but of late went to super store…for the first time in a long time I truly enjoyed my shopping experience. The variety, sales everywhere was amazing. Costco better pull up there socks…they are getting very boring!
Hi Cocowest, yes I am experiencing the same if I look for it.
I suggest you try the following to replicate the issue:
1. Rapidly scroll down use the PageDown button. You will see a delay with your pictures not loading quickly.
2.. Disable JavaScript for your website temporarily. The easiest way to access the JavaScript options menu on Google Chrome is by entering this URL in the address bar in Chrome: Chrome://settings/content/javascript
You will notice your pictures will not load now. If you have access to your old website and do the same, your pictures will load and load quickly even when scrolling down with PageDown.
Hi Glen, I think you may be referring to the lazy load feature that I have implemented. This feature loads the photos as the user scrolls down instead of loading all the photos for the page at once. Lazy loading decreases the loads on the server and only serves the images that are requested. Most people look at each photo before scrolling to the next one; however, if you try to immediately scroll to the bottom of the page using the page down button, you may see a lag while the images download.
EDIT: I did just see in the options that: “Load image with unveilling effects” was automatically checked. I have turned this function off. Hopefully this fixes the issue.
Bob, these sale prices that this lady posts are from BC but every store is different. Yes mostly the same sales but each store has other things on sale that anither won’t.
Just wondering if the early access was sent out for this week April 26th? I never received it and couldn’t find it on FB on Tuesday either! I know you’re updating the site maybe I just misunderstood something!
Aside from that thank you for all the work you put ibto this!

What section are those new drinks in (Lavander Probiotic Drink)? I looked all over the downtown Vancouver location and found nothing.
They are in the refrigerated drinks aisle. In the same area as the orange juice and kombuchas.
Ah ha! Thank you. I’ll call the store in the morning. Sometimes that location doesn’t get everything that I see on your wonderful updates.
Does anyone know if and when Costco is getting kids Crocs in? I usually buy them in March!
Thanks!!!
Thank you so much. Has anyone tried the salmon skins?

Does anyone happen to know the price of the Bell helmets?
Do you mean these ones?
