Costco Shopping – October 19, 2009

* 35th Costco Shopping this year, 3rd time this month.

My co-worker wanted to buy some pillows. So, I took him to Costco.

After Costco, I took my coworker to Popeye’s Chicken. He never had Popeye’s Chicken before. He loved the chicken. He kept saying “good sh*t”

Update 2021 – I still have an unopened bottle of this diffuser. What was I thinking?

Running…

I am still doing good with my fitness goal.

I’ve been running twice a week for 6 months now. I rarely skip my workout schedule. On Mondays & Wednesdays, as soon as I get home from work, I run a steep hill for 15 minutes. I do light workouts on Tuesdays & Thursdays.

Today I wore an Adidas shirt, Adidas shoes, and Adidas shorts. They are all from Costco.

I look absolutely adorable in these; I tells ya…

I paid $15 for the shirt at Costco. They sell these elsewhere for $30+. If you buy a few of these workout outfits, it will pay for your Costco membership.

Costco Shopping – October 10, 2009

* 33rd Costco Shopping this year, 1st time this month

Two things here:

  1. Chocolates of the World: I like these chocolates very much.
  2. Essenza Reeds (home fragrance): Costco spoils me. I used to buy Arm & Hammer air freshener spray once a year. Now I cannot live without these fancy smells around me. I must have 2 bottles opened at all times (in different rooms).


The purchased item also includes the doormat – Love that doormat ($13.99)

When it Doubt, Buy it – Plastic Food Wrap

When it doubts, buy it. Costco will not over-charge you.

Case in study: Food Wrap by Kirkland Signature – $8.99 (double pack)

At first glance, you might think $9 for 2 rolls of food wraps is not much of a bargain. But look at this.

If you are lucky, you can buy a roll of food wrap for $.99 (from a 99 Cents only store). This roll contains a 100 SQ. FT. of inferior quality plastic wrap.

With Kirkland Signature’s Food Wrap (double pack), you get 1500 SQ. FT of high quality plastic wrap. That’s 166 SQ. FT per a Dollar.

So, with the same amount of money, you get 66% more of a high-quality product.

But that’s not all
Think about helping environment.
In order to get 1500 SQ. FT. of plastic wrap, you need to buy 15 of $.99 rolls. With Costco’s double pack, you are saving raw material to package 13 rolls.

Everyone wins with Costco.

So when in doubt? Buy at Costco.

Happy shopping.

** One problem with Costco’s plastic wrap is that it will take a long time for me to finish up 2 rolls of these. It took me 2 years to finish 100 SQ. FT. roll. So, mathematically, it will take me 30 years to finish these two rolls. I will be in my 70s when I’m done with these. My plastic wrap can outlive me.

I guess some people use a lot of plastic wrap. I don’t. I always try to use containers with tops instead of putting a wrap over the food. I try not to use plastic wrap as much as possible. They cost money.

King of Mongolian BBQ (stacking)

I went to Mongolian BBQ with my coworker.

You put whatever you want in the bowl. And they will cook it for you.

Dinner is all-you-can-eat. But for lunch, you only get one trip. So, it’s up to you to pile up the food as high as possible. And guess what? I am the king of Mongolian BBQ.

Look at the picture below. On the right side, my co-worker tried to put as much food as possible in his bowl. My bowl is on the left.

It’s kind of embarrassing piling that high. But, it’s entertaining when I’m out with the guys. Funny funny stuff.

Oh yeah.  Check this out. Everything will be just fine.
The cookie told me so.
