<p>Samson International has issued a voluntary recall of the <strong>Oaklynn Canopy Bed</strong> in King and Queen sizes (Costco Items #1812427 and #1812424) sold on Costco.ca. The recall was issued because <strong>the canopy beams of the bed frames can collapse primarily when the bed is moved, posing impact and injury hazards to the consumer</strong>.</p>
<p>As of March 18, 2026, there have been no Canadian incidents reported. In the United States, five reports of canopy collapse have been received, with consumers struck by the beams. Four of these incidents resulted in shoulder and head contusions.</p>
<p>The affected products were sold on Costco.ca between February 2025 and February 2026.</p>

Samson Oaklynn Canopy Bed Recalled at Costco Over Collapse Risk

<h2>What Happened</h2>
<p>Lions Gate Fisheries Ltd. has recalled <strong>Whole Cooked Dungeness Crab</strong> (Costco Item #31761 and #31768) sold at Costco Canada warehouses in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. The recall was issued on April 1, 2026, due to <strong>possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination</strong>.</p>
<p>The affected products were sold between March 5 and March 31, 2026. Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache, and neck stiffness.

Costco Dubai Chocolate Mousse Recalled Over Undeclared Nuts

<p>Spring is here, and Costco Canada has quietly stocked some great new shoes. We visited the warehouse and checked every price tag — here are <strong>6 new Costco shoes worth checking out this spring</strong>, with real prices compared to what you'd pay on the brand's own Canadian website.</p>

<h2>1. Adidas Shoe (Women's) — $49.99</h2>

<img src="https://d204imx2lso466.cloudfront.net/upload/blog-shoe-adidas-2.webp" alt="Adidas women's shoe at Costco Canada — front view" width="600" />
<p>A retro-inspired women's sneaker from Adidas in sage green suede with a gum sole — very on-trend right now. The Samba/Handball-style silhouette gives it a fashion-forward look that works just as well with a skirt as with jeans. Cloudfoam Plus insole for all-day comfort. Retail price is estimated based on similar Adidas casual styles on adidas.ca, as the Costco tag does not specify the exact model.</p>

<h2>2. Nike Court Vision Lo (Women's) — $79.99</h2>

<p>The Court Vision Lo is one of Nike's most popular retro-inspired sneakers — a clean, low-top silhouette with white leather upper and classic black Swoosh. Think Air Force 1 vibes at a lower price point. Goes with everything from jeans to dresses. Price compared against the <a href="https://www.nike.com/ca/t/court-vision-low-next-nature-shoes-JsHv6d" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Court Vision Low Next Nature on nike.ca</a> ($105).</p>

<p>Veja is the sustainable sneaker brand you see all over Instagram — and now it's at Costco Canada. The Campo is their signature model: clean white leather, minimal design, made with organic and recycled materials. Veja rarely goes on sale anywhere — this is one of the few places in Canada you'll find them discounted at all.</p>

<p>The Ignite Articulate is Puma's top-tier golf shoe — 8 Tornado cleats for traction, Ignite foam cushioning, and an articulating outsole that flexes with your swing. MSRP is $219.99 but PUMA Golf Canada currently sells it for $129.99 — Costco still beats that by $30. Golf season is right around the corner.</p>

<h2>Before You Buy: What to Know</h2>
<p>Costco shoe inventory <strong>varies by warehouse</strong> and changes frequently. These shoes were spotted at a Greater Toronto Area location in March 2026 — your local store may carry different sizes or styles. Costco doesn't restock specific shoes once they sell out, so if you see something you like, grab it.</p>
<p>In-warehouse prices are often lower than costco.ca online prices for footwear. If you're making a trip specifically for shoes, call your local warehouse first to check stock.</p>

<hr>
<h2>FAQ</h2>

<h3>What shoe brands does Costco Canada carry?</h3>
<p>Costco Canada regularly stocks shoes from Nike, Adidas, Skechers, Puma, Veja, Aldo, New Balance, Birkenstock, Merrell, and other popular brands. The selection rotates seasonally and varies by warehouse location.</p>

<h3>Are Costco shoes cheaper than the brand's own website?</h3>
<p>In most cases, yes. In our price check, Costco's prices ranged from <strong>about 20% to over 50% lower</strong> than similar shoes on the brand's Canadian website. The savings vary by brand and model.</p>

<h3>Can you return shoes to Costco Canada after wearing them?</h3>
<p>Yes. Costco Canada has one of the most generous return policies in retail — you can return shoes if you're not satisfied, even after wearing them. Just bring your receipt or use your membership record.</p>

<h3>Is it better to buy shoes at Costco in-warehouse or online?</h3>
<p>In-warehouse is usually better for shoes. The selection is larger, prices can be lower, and you can try them on. Online (costco.ca) carries some styles but often at slightly higher prices with shipping fees.</p>

<h3>How often does Costco restock new shoes?</h3>
<p>Costco doesn't restock specific shoe styles — once they sell out, they're gone. New shoes typically appear at the start of each season (spring, summer, fall, winter). Check your local warehouse regularly for the latest arrivals.</p>

6 Best New Costco Shoes in Canada for Spring 2026

<h2>What Happened</h2>
<p>On February 22, 2026, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) issued a food recall warning for <strong>Kendamil Infant Formula with Whole Milk</strong> due to the potential presence of <strong>cereulide toxin</strong>. Costco Canada followed up with a member notice on February 25, 2026. The affected formula was sold exclusively through <strong>Costco warehouses, Costco Business Centres, and costco.ca</strong> across Canada between <strong>June 2025 and February 2026</strong>.</p>
<p>The recall is related to <strong>ARA oil</strong> (arachidonic acid) used in the affected products, which may contain cereulide toxin.</p>
<p>This recall (CFIA ID: RA-81636, Class 2) was triggered by a recall in another country. No illnesses have been reported associated with the consumption of this product, but the CFIA has launched a food safety investigation that may lead to additional product recalls.</p>
<h2>How to Identify the Product</h2>
<p><img alt="Kendamil Infant Formula with Whole Milk" src="https://d204imx2lso466.cloudfront.net/upload/recall-kendamil-1842944.webp" /></p>
<h2>What Is Cereulide and Why Is It Dangerous</h2>
<p>Cereulide is a toxin produced by certain strains of <em>Bacillus cereus</em> bacteria. According to the CFIA, cereulide is <strong>highly heat stable</strong> — it is unlikely to be deactivated or destroyed by cooking or when preparing infant formula for consumption. In other words, mixing the powder with hot water will not make the formula safe.</p>
<p>The CFIA notes that symptoms typically begin rapidly after ingestion and most often involve gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.</p>

Costco Baby Formula Recalled Over Cereulide Toxin

<h2>What Happened</h2>
<p>Ajinomoto Foods North America has issued a voluntary recall for <strong>Yakitori Chicken Fried Rice</strong> (6 x 255 g) sold at Costco warehouses and Costco Business Centres across Canada. The recall was first announced on February 20, 2026, and has since been expanded twice (February 27 and March 13) to cover the complete scope of affected products.</p>
<p>The recall was issued in cooperation with the USDA and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) due to the <strong>potential presence of glass</strong> in the product. There have been no confirmed reports of injuries.</p>
<h2>How to Identify the Product</h2>
<p><img alt="Yakitori Chicken Fried Rice packaging at Costco" src="https://d204imx2lso466.cloudfront.net/upload/recall-yakitori-chicken-fried-rice-819988.jpeg" /></p>
<p>The Yakitori Chicken Fried Rice comes in a rectangular box containing six individually sealed 255 g pouches. The best-before date is printed in YY MM DD format (e.g., 26 05 15 for May 15, 2026) on the side panel of the outer box and on each individual pouch.</p>

Costco Yakitori Chicken Fried Rice Recalled Over Glass

<p>Costco Canada warehouses just refreshed their shelves with a wave of new products — and there are some genuinely exciting finds this time. From a cult-favorite running shoe to a video game collab soda, here are <strong>13 new items spotted at Costco</strong> that are worth checking out on your next trip.</p>

<h2>Kitchen & Small Appliances</h2>

<h3>1. Ninja Dual Stacked Air Fryer 8 QT — $199.99</h3>
<p>Ninja's latest air fryer features a <strong>dual-zone stacked design</strong> — two independent cooking zones stacked vertically instead of side by side. Cook chicken on top while roasting veggies on the bottom, all at different temperatures and times. At 8 QT (7.6 L) total capacity, it's a solid pick for families.</p>

<h3>2. Toshiba Air Fryer Oven 25L — $149.99</h3>
<p>Prefer the oven-style form factor? Toshiba's 25L (26 QT) air fryer oven offers significantly more room. It works as an air fryer, toaster oven, dehydrator, and more — great for batch cooking and even small pizzas. At $50 less than the Ninja, it's an appealing alternative if you want versatility over dual-zone convenience.</p>

<h3>3. Chefman Caffeinator Brewer — $129.99</h3>
<p>A single-serve coffee brewer with a bold name to match. If you're looking for a K-Cup compatible machine without the Keurig price tag, the Caffeinator is a budget-friendly option with a modern design.</p>

<h3>4. KitchenAid Stand Mixer — $399.99</h3>
<p>The iconic KitchenAid Stand Mixer needs no introduction — it's the gold standard for home bakers. Whether you're kneading bread dough, whipping cream, or making pasta with attachments, it does it all. The Costco price is typically lower than retail, so if it's been on your wish list, now's the time.</p>

<ads>

<h2>Footwear & Fashion</h2>

<h3>5. Hoka Clifton 10 (Women's) — $149.99</h3>
<p>This is a big one. <strong>Hoka</strong> has become one of the hottest running shoe brands in North America, and the <strong>Clifton 10</strong> is their most popular everyday trainer. Known for plush cushioning and lightweight feel, it's loved by runners, nurses, and anyone on their feet all day. Finding Hoka at Costco at a competitive price is a rare opportunity. Women's sizes 6–11.</p>

<h3>6. Aldo Leather Flat Shoe (Women's) — $49.99</h3>
<p>Canadian footwear brand Aldo (founded in Montreal!) brings their leather flat shoes to Costco for under $50. Classic, versatile flats good for the office, weekend outings, or spring travel. Women's sizes 6–11.</p>

<ads>

<h2>Food & Drinks</h2>

<h3>7. Jones Soda Fallout Sunset Sarsaparilla — $22.99 (12 × 355 mL)</h3>
<p>Gamers, take note. <strong>Sunset Sarsaparilla</strong> is the iconic drink from the <em>Fallout</em> video game franchise — and Jones Soda has brought it to life. The vintage-styled bottles and sarsaparilla flavor give it a fun, nostalgic twist. Whether you're a Fallout fan or just love craft sodas, this is a unique Costco find.</p>

<h3>8. Chocovia Dubai Style Mini Eggs — $24.99 (650g)</h3>
<p>The <strong>"Dubai chocolate"</strong> trend has been all over social media — and now it's at Costco in Easter egg form. Chocovia's Dubai Style Mini Eggs combine that trendy Middle Eastern chocolate style with a seasonal Easter shape. At 650g, it's a generous bag for Easter baskets, snacking, or satisfying your curiosity about the hype.</p>

<ads>

<h2>K-Beauty & Skincare</h2>

<h3>9. Mediheal Collagen Ampoule Pad — $39.99 (100 + 100 refill)</h3>
<p>Korean skincare brand <strong>Mediheal</strong> is famous for their sheet masks, and their Collagen Ampoule Pads are a cult favorite. Each pad is soaked in collagen-rich essence — swipe it on for quick hydration. The Costco pack comes with 100 pads plus a 100-pad refill, making it excellent value for daily use.</p>

<h3>10. Shaishaishai Banana Eye Cream — $34.99 (2 × 15g)</h3>
<p>Another K-beauty gem: <strong>Shaishaishai's</strong> Banana Eye Cream has been trending on Korean social media. Banana extract is known for moisturizing and brightening the under-eye area. A 2-pack at Costco means one for home, one for your travel bag.</p>

<ads>

<h2>Home & Outdoor</h2>

<h3>11. Nellie's Laundry Soda — $114.99 (1,100 Washloads)</h3>
<p>The math: <strong>1,100 washloads for $114.99 = ~$0.10 per load</strong>. Nellie's is a Vancouver-based Canadian brand making plant-based, hypoallergenic laundry products — no harsh chemicals, no artificial fragrances. If you have sensitive skin or just want to forget about buying detergent for a very long time, this is hard to beat.</p>

<h3>12. Umbro World Cup Soccer Ball (Size 5) — $19.99</h3>
<p>The <strong>2026 FIFA World Cup</strong> is coming to North America this summer — with games in Toronto and Vancouver! World Cup fever is building, and this official-size Umbro soccer ball at $19.99 is perfect for backyard games, park sessions, or getting the kids excited for the tournament.</p>

<h3>13. Corkcicle Tumbler (2 × 710 mL) — $39.99</h3>
<p>Move over, Stanley. <strong>Corkcicle</strong> is a premium insulated tumbler brand with a loyal following — known for sleek designs and excellent temperature retention. This 2-pack at $39.99 (essentially $20 each) is a strong deal considering singles typically retail for $35–45.</p>

Costco Canada P&G Promotion 2026: Full Product List & Prices

<p>Whether you're a new Costco member or a seasoned warehouse shopper, there are plenty of insider tricks that can stretch your dollar further. From decoding secret price tags to timing your visits perfectly, these 15 money-saving secrets will help you get the most out of your Costco Canada membership in 2026.</p>

<h2>1. Decode the Secret Price Tag Endings</h2>
<p>Costco's price tags hide valuable information in their last digits:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Prices ending in .99</strong> — Standard retail pricing</li>
<li><strong>Prices ending in .97</strong> — Clearance! The item is being discontinued or phased out</li>
<li><strong>Prices ending in .88 or .00</strong> — Manager markdown, the deepest discounts available</li>
<li><strong>Asterisk (*) on the sign</strong> — This item won't be restocked once it's gone</li>
</ul>
<p>When you spot a .97 or .00 price, grab it — these deals won't last.</p>

<h2>2. Know When Your Membership Pays for Itself</h2>
<p>A <strong>Gold Star membership</strong> costs $65/year, while the <strong>Executive membership</strong> runs $130/year with 2% cashback (up to $1,250).</p>
<p>Here's the simple math: if you spend more than <strong>$250/month</strong> at Costco, the Executive membership pays for itself through cashback alone. If you spend less than $125/month, stick with Gold Star.</p>
<p><strong>Pro tip:</strong> If your Executive cashback doesn't cover the upgrade cost, Costco will refund the difference — so there's zero risk in trying it.</p>

<h2>3. Always Check the Unit Price, Not the Sticker Price</h2>
<p>Bulk doesn't always mean cheaper. Before tossing that mega-pack into your cart, compare the <strong>unit price</strong> (price per 100g, per litre, etc.) with what you'd pay at your regular grocery store.</p>
<p>Items that are <strong>almost always cheaper</strong> at Costco per unit:</p>
<ul>
<li>Kirkland Signature olive oil</li>
<li>Maple syrup</li>
<li>Cheese blocks</li>
<li>Laundry detergent</li>
<li>Over-the-counter medications (especially allergy meds)</li>
</ul>
<p>Items that are <strong>sometimes cheaper elsewhere</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fresh produce (watch for sales at local stores)</li>
<li>Canned goods (loss leaders at grocery stores)</li>
<li>Some dairy products</li>
</ul>

<h2>4. Shop the Kirkland Signature Brand</h2>
<p>Kirkland Signature is Costco's private label, and it's manufactured by the same companies that make the name-brand products. Some confirmed examples:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Kirkland batteries</strong> — made by Duracell</li>
<li><strong>Kirkland vodka</strong> — produced at major distilleries</li>
<li><strong>Kirkland diapers</strong> — comparable to Huggies</li>
<li><strong>Kirkland coffee</strong> — roasted by Starbucks</li>
</ul>
<p>You'll typically save <strong>20-40%</strong> compared to the equivalent name brand, with the same (or better) quality.</p>

<h2>5. Use the Costco App to Preview Deals Before You Go</h2>
<p>The Costco app lets you browse current warehouse deals, check inventory, and view your purchase history. Before heading to the store:</p>
<ol>
<li>Check the <strong>"Warehouse Savings"</strong> section for current promotions</li>
<li>Review your past purchases to see if anything you regularly buy is on sale</li>
<li>Build a shopping list to avoid impulse buys</li>
</ol>
<p>Pairing the app with a tool like <strong><a href="https://yepsavings.com">YepSavings</a></strong> gives you even more visibility into unadvertised deals and price drops at your local warehouse.</p>

<h2>6. Time Your Big Purchases with the Savings Calendar</h2>
<p>Costco runs predictable sales throughout the year. Here's a general guide:</p>
<table>
<thead><tr><th>Month</th><th>Best Deals On</th></tr></thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td>January</td><td>Fitness equipment, storage, organization</td></tr>
<tr><td>February</td><td>Electronics, small appliances</td></tr>
<tr><td>March</td><td>Outdoor furniture, patio sets</td></tr>
<tr><td>May</td><td>Mattresses, lawn &amp; garden</td></tr>
<tr><td>July</td><td>Summer clearance, school supplies</td></tr>
<tr><td>September</td><td>Appliances, back-to-school</td></tr>
<tr><td>November</td><td>Everything (Black Friday / Holiday)</td></tr>
<tr><td>December</td><td>Gift sets, holiday food, winter gear</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Plan ahead and you can save hundreds on big-ticket items.</p>

<h2>7. Never Skip the Rotisserie Chicken</h2>
<p>At just <strong>$7.99 CAD</strong>, Costco's rotisserie chicken is a loss leader — they actually lose money on every one sold. It's cheaper than buying a raw whole chicken at most grocery stores.</p>
<p>One chicken can stretch into multiple meals: dinner on day one, chicken salad for lunch, and homemade stock from the bones. That's 3+ meals from an $8 investment.</p>

<h2>8. Return Almost Anything (With Common Sense)</h2>
<p>Costco's return policy is one of the most generous in retail — <strong>no time limit</strong> on most items. Electronics have a 90-day window, but almost everything else can be returned if you're not satisfied.</p>
<p>This means you can buy with confidence. Not sure if the family will like that new snack? Try it — if nobody touches it, bring it back.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Don't abuse this policy. Costco tracks returns, and excessive returns can lead to membership issues.</p>

<h2>9. Fill Up at Costco Gas</h2>
<p>Costco gas stations consistently offer <strong>5-15 cents per litre less</strong> than surrounding stations. For an average 60L fill-up, that's <strong>$3-$9 saved per visit</strong>.</p>
<p>If you fill up weekly, you could save <strong>$150-$450 per year</strong> on gas alone — more than enough to cover your membership fee.</p>
<p><strong>Tip:</strong> Go early morning or during dinner time to avoid the longest lines.</p>

<h2>10. Buy Gift Cards at a Discount</h2>
<p>Costco sells discounted gift cards for restaurants, entertainment, and services. Common deals include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>$100 restaurant gift cards</strong> for $79.99</li>
<li><strong>Movie tickets</strong> below box office price</li>
<li><strong>Spa and hotel packages</strong> at 20-30% off</li>
</ul>
<p>These make great gifts, but they're even better for personal use — it's like getting an automatic discount on dining and entertainment.</p>

<h2>11. Don't Overlook the Pharmacy</h2>
<p>Costco's pharmacy offers some of the <strong>lowest prescription prices in Canada</strong>, and here's the best part: <strong>you don't need a membership</strong> to use it (it's the law in most provinces).</p>
<p>Over-the-counter medications are also significantly cheaper. A 365-count bottle of Kirkland allergy medication can cost 80% less than the equivalent brand-name product at a drugstore.</p>

<h2>12. Shop Without a Cart for Smaller Trips</h2>
<p>This is a Reddit-favourite tip that actually works. If you tend to overspend, <strong>skip the cart and carry a basket or just use your hands</strong>.</p>
<p>One shopper reported: <em>"I got out of there for under $20 and only bought four items because I skipped the cart."</em></p>
<p>The oversized cart naturally encourages you to fill it. Remove the temptation and you'll stick to what you actually came for.</p>

<h2>13. Stack Manufacturer Coupons with Costco Deals</h2>
<p>Costco accepts <strong>manufacturer coupons</strong> on top of their already-low prices and in-store promotions. This means you can potentially triple-dip:</p>
<ol>
<li>Costco's already-discounted price</li>
<li>Costco in-store instant savings</li>
<li>Manufacturer coupon</li>
</ol>
<p>Check coupon sites and manufacturer websites before your trip, especially for household items and personal care products.</p>

<h2>14. Use Costco Travel for Vacations</h2>
<p>Most members don't know that <strong>Costco Travel</strong> offers genuinely competitive vacation packages, rental cars, and cruises. Executive members get an additional 2% back on travel purchases.</p>
<p>Real savings examples:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>All-inclusive resort packages</strong> — often $200-$400 less than booking direct</li>
<li><strong>Car rentals</strong> — consistently among the cheapest rates available</li>
<li><strong>Cruises</strong> — include Costco Cash Cards as a bonus</li>
</ul>
<p>Always compare prices, but Costco Travel frequently wins on value.</p>

<h2>15. Track Prices with YepSavings</h2>
<p>The smartest Costco shoppers don't just hunt for deals — they <strong>track prices over time</strong>. This helps you know when a "sale" is actually a good deal versus a normal price fluctuation.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://yepsavings.com">YepSavings</a></strong> tracks Costco Canada prices and unadvertised deals automatically, so you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Get notified when items on your shopping list drop in price</li>
<li>See price history to know if you're getting a real deal</li>
<li>Browse current unadvertised savings at your local warehouse</li>
<li>Never miss a markdown again</li>
</ul>
<p>It's the easiest way to make sure you're actually saving money, not just spending more because something looks like a deal.</p>

<hr>

<h2>The Bottom Line</h2>
<p>You don't need to dramatically change how you shop to save more at Costco. Small adjustments — checking price tag codes, timing your purchases, switching to Kirkland, and tracking prices — can easily save you <strong>$500-$1,000+ per year</strong>.</p>
<p>The key is shopping intentionally. Use tools, make lists, and know your prices. Your wallet (and your pantry) will thank you.</p>
