There are a lot of snacks on sale, including our favorite Edward Marc Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Snappers. Most of us dearly miss the Hebrew National hot dogs that used to be in the foodcourt and the packages will be $3 off this month. You really can’t go wrong with the block of Dubliner cheese. If you haven’t tried Dubliner before you won’t regret it. While we personally love Bai here at Costco Insider we know there’s a lot of Spindrift fans out there, and both will be on sale this month.

The second we laid eyes on the KidKraft Cedar Summit Country Vista Playhouse we knew we needed it in our backyard. We didn’t necessarily have a place for it, but as almost all loyal Costco members have done before, we bought first and asked questions later. Thanks so much to our friends at KidKraft for supplying us one that we were able to review for all you faithful readers. We can happily say it’s been thoroughly kid-tested and mother-approved and has passed with flying colors. Our 15-month-old daughter has played with it extensively and it seems really safe! Older kids, such as our 5-year-old niece, love it as well. The kids now always want to come over and play in the backyard. Going from not having that at all to being the one that has the fun thing they beg to come over and play with is pretty great.

KidKraft Cedar Summit Country Vista in Costco

We were quite shocked by the number of pieces in the KidKraft Cedar Summit Country Vista Playhouse when we opened the box. It’s definitely a project to put it together, but a pretty fun one at that. We didn’t count but we probably put in somewhere between 100 and 200 screws. The attention to detail in the build process and instructions were quite impressive. We were never really confused about what we were doing next when following the steps. By yourself you can assemble it in roughly 3 hours. The instructions suggest two people put it together, but it can be done by yourself if you use clamps to hold things together while you’re screwing everything together. Everything was labeled really well too.

After assembling we noticed small details that we definitely appreciated. Every time we thought our daughter was going to smash her hands we noticed the doors were designed to avoid that, with gaps just large enough to avoid a lot of crying. The magnet system used on the doors is really nice too, strong enough to keep them shut but easy enough for our 15-month-old daughter to still open. The bay window is really cool, but would easily catch water on a rainy day. Thankfully that was also thought of and KidKraft put drainage holes in the bottom of it. The fresh smell of the cedar wood resonated through our garage before we assembled the product, speaking to the quality of the material used.

The KidKraft Cedar Summit Country Vista Playhouse is only $299.99 in Costco stores throughout the country. While not available in every Costco store, it is available in most. It is also available online on Costco.com. There is also a much larger playset in a lot of Costco warehouses called KidKraft Cedar Summit Copper Ridge. It sells for $999.99 and includes two sets of slides, is three stories tall, and has a swing set as well. We haven’t tried that one yet, but having now reviewed another KidKraft Cedar Summit product, we can rest assured that it’s a quality product that is built to last and built for fun.

When reviewing Costco products it’s also good to occasionally take a look at those household staples that you buy without thinking about. Turns out they are constantly improving them in many ways. Today we took a look at Dawn Ultra Antibacterial Apple Blossom Liquid Dish and Hand Soap for a product review. Thanks to Dawn for providing a container of their dish soap for us to review. First of all, it took us a bit to wrap our heads around what this is, as we’re so used to seeing Dawn in blue as a dishwashing soap. The great thing is they’ve expanded it to be not only a dishwashing liquid but now also a hand soap. That means the dishwashing liquid is now also antibacterial, whereas the standard blue dish soap is not.

Dawn Instant Rebate Sign

From March 13th through April 7th the Dawn dish and hand soap is in the Costco March 2019 coupon book on sale for $1.70 off the already low price of $8.49, which makes the Instant Savings final price $6.79 for 90 ounces! That means it’s a great time to give it a try!

Actual Product Review and Comparison

When we compared Dawn to the lesser known dishwashing soap we were using before we were blown away by the results and can now clearly see why Dawn is the #1 selling dish soap in the world. It smells better, both when washing dishes and washing your hands, which gave the feeling of being even cleaner after using it. It’s great that you can now have one product which covers two functions in the kitchen, meaning you have to store less stuff in the house. The Dawn was also a lot sudsier than our comparison soap. Also, it lasted much longer in the sponge, meaning we will go through it much slower than the soap we were using before, ultimately saving even more money.

Features Noted by the Manufacturer

Washes away bacteria and fights germs on hands when used as a hand soap
Has 2X more grease cleaning power per drop compared to the leading competitors

There’s a new product in Costco stores and we couldn’t wait to give it a try. The That’s it. Organic Dark Chocolate Fig Truffle Bites are now in most stores in LA, San Diego, Bay Area, Colorado, Texas, Arizona, and a few other locations sprinkled in. We have a list below of all current locations. Thankfully That’s It was able to provide us with a bag to try. They consist of only two ingredients, fig and dark chocolate. We love how they’re Paleo Friendly, Fair Trade Certified, Non-GMO, Kosher, Organic, Gluten-Free, and Allergen Friendly! It’s hard to fit a product into all those categories and That’s it not only managed to do that but to make an amazing delicious product in the process. What’s also really nice about the truffles is that they’re only 22 calories and 3g of sugar per truffle. We have to say, for such a healthy version of a dessert we are quite impressed.

We began our review process quite impressed on our first bite. The texture with the fig is just right, with a little bit of crunchiness yet still very smooth. With the That’s it Organic Dark Chocolate Fig Truffles using 64% cacao dark chocolate you satisfy the chocolate craving without having it be overly sweet. This also allows you to eat more due to the low volume of sugar. On the other hand, the truffles have a long finish to them (is that only a wine term?), which keeps you satisfied much longer compared to most truffles.

That’s It Nutrition Facts

Another benefit to the That’s it Organic Dark Chocolate Fig Truffle Bites is that you get 5 grams of fiber, 2mg of iron, 357mg of potassium, and a dose of antioxidants in every serving. For those chocolate aficionados, we wanted to mention the quality of ingredient here. We think the chocolate is very high quality from a taste perspective. We also love that it’s socially responsible (certified fair trade) and perfectly balanced – not too bitter and not too sweet. In the end, we love the guilt free feeling we have after consuming a few of these for dessert and look forward to having them in our lives regularly. Leave a comment if you’ve tried them as well!

With the Super Bowl just around the corner we bring you the annual Costco Super Bowl TV Deals coupons for 2019. This sale will run from January 13th through February 3rd, which is the actual day of the Super Bowl. When you click the link above you will see all the pages of deals in the flyer. This supplemental Costco coupon book features only televisions, electronics, and appliances. With the Super Bowl being the biggest TV watching event of the year it makes it a great time to upgrade to the newest technology and sizes. Also don’t forget to pickup some Super Bowl snacks such as those featured in the January 2019 Costco Coupon Book (mini tacos anyone?)!

What we are referring to as the Super Bowl TV deals are labeled as the Big Game Savings Handout in store. While there are mostly TV deals there are also other great sales throughout the book. In total there are 15 TV deals, 8 electronics deals and 5 appliance deals in the booklet. We love the look of OLED but have a hard time justifying the much higher price, so for us, if we were going to buy a new TV we’d go with the Samsung QLED. You get 4 years of warranty coverage when bought with the Costco Visa card, and then you can buy a 3 year Squaretrade warranty to supplement that as well, getting you 7 years of warranty coverage in total.

Which TV deal stands out as the best deal in your opinion? Last year Costco lowered the pricing even further in store to match other retailers as they released their Super Bowl sales. We wouldn’t be surprised if that happened again this year.

The January 2019 Costco Coupon Book has a few newer items we’re looking forward to try as well as some classic staples that you’d expect. We’re surprised to see the Nest thermostat in there, but after recently reviewing the ecobee 3 lite thermostat we still would recommend the ecobee over the Nest. In our review is also a section comparing the two, so make sure to check that out. The Apple Watch at $30 off is a great deal (really hard to find discounts on Apple products), and we love ours. As expected, there are a few pieces of workout equipment on sale so you can attack that New Years Resolution of yours. The Costco tire coupon has switched back to Michelin ($70 off) for January.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… to buy Prime Rib at Costco. You’ll often see the Costco prime rib price to be much lower than anywhere else you could look, and you can often get Prime grade meat for the price of Choice grade elsewhere. You may notice the excellent marbling of the Prime cuts in our photos below too. The prices across the country have definitely gone up over the years and at the bottom of the page you can look back at various years prices if you’d like. We are referencing Bay Area Region Costco prices, so keep in mind prices may vary in different regions.
