On November 26, 2008, I broke my old sushi eating record.
I always go to sushi with my co-worker for lunch. But he was too busy, so I went alone.
This is my glorious achievement. I ate them all.

I wouldn’t dare going out for Black Friday shopping. The traffic & waiting game ain’t worth it for me. Black Friday shopping can be fun if you have a shopping buddy.
I went out shopping on Saturday, 2 days after Thanksgiving Day.
1. ROSS
I found medium size (32-34) Jockey underwear. A box of 3 was $5.99. So I bought 6 boxes – Basically, I grabbed everything with M sticker on it. Finally, my underwear worry is over (until 2013 ?).
Update – many years later, my underwear size is small. Something must have shrunk.
2. Costco
My shopping spree wouldn’t be complete without a trip to Costco. As a part of my current project ‘Shopping for a Bed’, I bought some pillows and a queen-size flannel sheet set. I also bought some new towels. They feel high class.
And I bought a pair of pants for work, 2 fleece shirts & 1 pair of fleece pants.
I ate a hot-dog in the car – there were so many people that I couldn’t find a place to eat outside.
4. Bed Bath and Beyond
I think I have about 9 pieces of New York steak in the freezer (vacuum packed).
Then I saw this ad on T-Bone steak… $3.99/lb is the best price you will find anywhere. Ah~! the glorious Thanksgiving steak sales.
Ribeye, New York, and T-Bone each have their own unique taste. I like steaks with bones. The bones supposed to bring more flavor to the meat.
Vons has New York steak for $3.77/lb – That’s insane
Sometimes I don’t get to finish all the coffee I brew.
When I have left-over coffee, I don’t trash it. I keep it for the next day.
I keep my old coffee in the refrigerator. The next day, I put in some syrup and drink it cold.
I buy coffee syrups from Costco, but you can purchase coffee syrups only from Jose’s booth events. Jose’s sales team will visit your local Costco a few times a year. We don’t shop at Costco every day, so you may not get to see Jose’s Booth for years. You may have to call your local Costco for Jose’s schedule.

I saw Christmas items at Michael’s first in late August.
From this point, we are in full Christmas mode. Christmas is just over three months away. You better start your Christmas shopping.
I made an impulse buy last week.
This HP Laserjet P1005 printer was on sale at newegg.com for $50.00 plus free shipping. This printer usually goes for $120.00 – $160.00.
Basically, I bought the ink cartridge, and they gave me the printer for free.
The problem is that my current printer works fine. It’s an older model, and it prints slower. But it works.
(*update 2021 – I currently use this printer)
This is my club card.
I put three club cards in one.
It contains Vons, Ralphs, & Albertsons. I had this for about 6-8 years now. Vons club card is the oldest one. It’s about 10 years old.
(update many years later – I almost deleted this blog post. It’s stupid and embarrassing.)
