I hope you are all well! This is the first week we have let my son go back to his daycare. It has been over two months where we have kept our son at home after the COVID-19 exposures at daycare. Right now, I’m enjoying working in peace and quiet!
I’m looking forward to next Monday where we will get a new set of coupons! I also saw the Kirkland Signature Right Hand Putter for sale for those of you who are looking 🙂
BIG Server Upgrades !
Some people have noticed that the blog has been slow to load or inaccessible on Tuesday Mornings. As a result, on Friday, we added another server to make sure that everyone can access the blog, even during peak times! For those curious, that makes eight load balanced servers running to make sure everyone gets their deals on Tuesday morning.
Product Search Update!
So it has taken quite a bit of back-end work on the blog, but we finally have a working product search. We are still working on the layout and the data entry, but this tool will allow you to look a the price sale history of your favorite product.
To try out the search just click on the search icon at the blue bar at the top of the page or using the search field in the main menu! We are making great progress! So far, we have entered 22,000 photos and we have about 43,000 photos left. We now have a full year of products and prices in the database! In the end the database will go back to 2014. Hopefully, this tool will make finding and anticipating product sales easy for everyone.
1,000 Costco Fan Blog Posts!
I’ve been watching this number creep up for a while, but next Monday will make 1,000 Costco Fan Blog Posts. I never thought I would still be doing this when I started over 10 years ago, but here I am! I’ll be celebrating with a great contest next Monday so stay tuned and thank you for coming back every week to check out the deals.
Hi there. There is a typo with one of your data entries. Have a look: https://cocowest.ca/?s=weiner. The sign is correct, but the search result is not. Whoever entered the product description spelled wiener incorrectly as weiner.
What a gong show at Willingdon Costco yesterday. The line-up was around the back of the building an hour before closing. I have not seen this kind of a line-up in a long, long time especially when there wasn’t a long weekend. The neighboring Keg was also packed. I believe many Keg customers parked at Costco as the parking lot did not seem to match the crowd unless it was just one person shopping.
Many items were completely out of stock like Charmin tissue paper. The food court was quite busy and many people were buying just a couple (less than three) items in general. I was hoping things would be becoming better, but they’re not.
Happy 1,000! Almost. Reread this on Monday.
Thanks for all the hard work!
Happy Anniversary!

I have no idea how you found this.
