I bought a pair of Puma pants (French Terry Jogger). Then I changed my mind and returned it the next day.
That’s about it. I am still saving money.

Raw Maca is a superfood powder that you’ve been hearing more about lately. Along with nutritional benefits, they’re supposed to give you energy and reduce stress. It’s also supposed to be good for men (ehem). Costco is now in business with World Gourmet Food. You can now find Raw Maca powder at Costco locations in San Diego (CA), Arizona, Utah, Denver, and Las Vegas.
*Whole Foods sells 4 oz Organic Maca Powder for for $6.99. World Gourmet’s Raw Maca comes in a Costco size of TWO pounds (32 oz), and they currently sell for $9.99.

If you want to check out Maca powder for free, enter for raffle below. World Gourmet Food will send you 2 bags of Organic Raw Maca Root Powder (total 4 pounds).
I am currently putting Raw Maca powder (1/2 Tbs ) in my Vitamix juice twice a day. It gives my juice a hint of raw root taste. I don’t have a girlfriend and I have absolutely no stress in my life, so it will be tough to monitor changes in me. But I like what I read about Maca.
Facts about Raw Maca Powder
How to use: Blend a heaping spoonful into Teas, confections, juices, puddings, smoothies, hot beverages, cookies, cereals, and ice cream to easily enjoy its benefits.

Maximus Smart Security Light (Costco #1145059) is an outdoor light with a built-in HD security camera. It will record high-definition videos with sound. Video clips are stored in the cloud where you can review and download. You can watch a live video feed and control the unit with your mobile devices. It comes with basic free services with an option to upgrade to premium services.
My favorite function is audio and light alert when somebody approaches my door. To me, that alert alone is worthy of purchasing the unit. Bad guys are unlikely to pursue my house after seeing that. See the video below.
It took me less than 30 minutes to install the light. I didn’t bother to read the instruction. It took me extra time because I was taking pictures of the progress. Installation was straightforward. Connecting camera to home network was simple as well. I followed online instructions (click this, tap that). If you are reading my blog, chances are you can connect the camera to your home network. But, some people will find it difficult to set it up.
Installing the lamp can be challenging if you haven’t done such things in the past.

Costco sells these security lights for $139.99. They sell them at my local Costco warehouse.
With purchase of the light, you receive these free services.
With paid services ($4.99, $9.99, or $19.99) you get.
I received this light as a review unit. If this light breaks down for some reason, I will buy the same unit to replace it. Once you have this light, there is no going back. I cannot imagine NOT having this light. I really like that alert. To me, it’s all about that alert.

I bought St Louis Style Ribs to celebrate Labor Day. The ribs were just OK. I used a baking pan that’s about 1/2 inch high. You don’t have to use 2 Inches deep pan. I don’t know why it asks for 2 inches high – it scares people who don’t know how to cook.
