Costco Shopping

* Today’s Costco shopping: 17th time this year, 4th time this month

I went to Costco for some apples.

It was getting late. I looked at my coupon wallet and found a coupon for El Pollo Loco. Below dinner was only $2.99. It’s hard not to eat out when a meal is so easy, fast, and cheap.

Dos Equis Man

Without a doubt, the most annoying mofo on TV.
I had to get this off my chest.

Jonathan Goldsmith did a lot of character acting in the past. Anyway, this is the most annoying commercial there is.

When did this happen? McDonald’s Nutritional Fact

I went to McDonald’s for lunch today.

I had Filet O Fish & 6 pieces of Chicken McNuggets (& no soda)

My Coworker had a 1/4 Pound Burger Value Pack.

I looked at the bottom sides of the boxes and saw nutritional facts. This was the first time seeing nutritional facts on any fast food containers.

My lunch (without soda) was $6.42. When did the price go up like this?

The Week I Ate The Most Amount Of Fat

I believe I ate the most amount of fat (greasy food) last week.

  • I ate 8 pieces of Popeye’s chicken.
  • I had 4 pieces of KFC chicken.
  • I went to Carl’s Jr for a burger and fries.
  • I had two big slices of anchovy pizza & salad.
  • I also had a double chili cheeseburger with fries.

I need to fight the temptation. I keep thinking “just this once” or “I will work out tonight”

This is bad, bad…  I am definitely fatter than last year.  

I currently wear 32-inch waist pants – But I know I’m bigger than 32.

But I tell you what. I enjoyed every single bite of these bad foods.

Costco Shopping – April 14, 2009

* Today’s Costco shopping: 15th time this year, 2nd time this month

Ah~~  So busy. It’s the last night to file income tax.

I bought a pair of Adidas shoes. It was my first time seeing Adidas shoes at Costco.

I bought a swimming trunk. But, I haven’t swum in 10 years. Maybe I will need it on a vacation.

I have money and time for a vacation. I have 4 weeks of vacation time. My accounting lady’s been telling me to take a vacation for over 1 year now. The thing is that I don’t need a vacation. I am pretty relaxed and happy at work. There is no stress. If I meet the right friend, I shall enjoy traveling. But I am alone for now… I’m happy without a vacation.

Kirkland Signature’s AAA batteries are the best. I brought a $2.00 off coupon for Duracell batteries, but Kirkland Signature’s batteries were a lot better deal without a coupon.

I spent $120.00. I saved $18.00 with coupons. Then I put 12.65 gallons of gas for $27.82 ($2.199/g)

Costco Cereals
50/50 mix of Honey Bunches of Oats & Kirkland Signature Organic Raisin Bran with Soy Milk. This is my favorite combination so far.

Another Flat Tire In 3 Months~! :(

Gag me with a spoon. I have a flat tire again.

I bought 4 tires from Costco about 4 months ago. The next month I got a flat tire.

I have a flat tire. Again~!! This time it’s the rear right side.

There was an AAA towing truck waiting for me. The towing truck driver saw my flat tire, and he waited for the driver to show. He asked me if I wanted his service. I told him “no”. Then he moved on.

I quickly replaced the tire with a spare. Replacing a tire is easy if you have the right tools.

** Make sure you have the right tools to replace tires on your own. Do not assume your cellular phone will save the day. If you have never replaced a tire before, try to see if you can do it on your own. If you are a small person, it will be almost impossible to unfasten the lug nuts with a small wrench. You may have to buy a wrench like mine (below). You may need a better jack as well.


The tire laying flat on the ground is the spare.
My spare tire is a full-size regular tire.
