Costco Shopping Jan 3, 2018

1st Costco shopping in 2018 – $87.27 (today) / $87.27 (this year)

I intrigued by Ocusight. It’s a eye/vision care supplement by Costco. My eyes are not too bad, but it’s been bothering me a little (detail skipped). I will keep you updated on my experience.

Turkey Jerky is a treat for me for the weekend. Salad is for my lunch at work. The Box of chips should last about 6 months. I buy them because they are tasty AND they were on sale. I should not buy any more of these chips, because I want to live healthy and long. What’s the point of buying expensive vitamins when I keep eating bad food.

Instant coupons saved $17.70

That’s about it, boring… (Ah, forgot to buy minced garlic)

I cannot believe Christmas is over. Now I have nothing but work… working forever.

Happy new year!! Good Times!

It’s almost a new year, just 4 hours to go. I am not doing anything special. I am home alone and relaxing. I shall make coffee and watch TV.

To celebrate the new year, I ordered a pair of Italian boots from England. 🙂

Please stay healthy. God bless you.

Al Pastor Salad at Costco

| Costco Blog, Costco Product Review

Check this out – Al Pastor Salad at Costco food court. Let me know if you tried it before. Did you like it? The only reason I didn’t try Al Pastor Salad is because of its high sodium content. My doctor said I need to watch sodium intake. I guess I can completely skip the dressing, but…

So… anyway… I will not eat it, you eat it and let me know. Haha..

What we know so far.

It’s not vegan – The dressing contains eggs. You may eat without dressing.
It has 3270 mg of sodium and 59 mg of fat
- That’s a lot of salt.
- FDA recommended daily sodium intake is less than 2300 mg

Nutritional facts can be found here.

It’s $4.99. The sign says…

Plant-based protein (soy)
Chopped romaine
Black beans and fresh vegetables
Banh mi vegetables and dressing
330 – 750 cal.

It says 330 – 750 cal. If I make an educated guess, that means the dressing is 420 Calories and the salad alone is 330 Calories. Which I am not surprised about. It’s always dressings and tartar sauce that will do you in. Do not eat all the dressing,

PureGuardian Humidifier, 2-pack

I suffer from dry skin every winter. I try to use lotion whenever I can to relieve my itchy skin.

So, this time I will try a humidifier. Perhaps humidifiers will solve my dry skin problem. Costco has these 2 pack humidifiers from PureGuardian. There was a $15 discount at the time of my purchase, so I paid $64.99 plus tax. $32.50 each is the best price anywhere.

I put one humidifier in the kitchen and the other one in my master bedroom. I had them for a few days now. And my dry skin condition had completely disappeared since then. But I am not sure if I am seeing the benefit of humidifiers or if there had been changes in the weather.

I shall give it time and see. I will update you.

Christmas Moment

| Christmas, Personal

I contacted my friend Friday (Dec 22nd) and convinced her to come out after work for a “Christmas experience”. Both she and I get off work late. We were tired, but I told her she will look back and cherish the moment – that we must force ourselves to create some kind of Christmas moment before it’s gone.

The entire night I played my favorite Christmas music in my car. I picked her up at her work and went for a quick bite. And we went to a coffee shop and enjoyed holiday flavored coffee.

Then we walked around the shopping center and took some pictures. I struck a silly pose in front of a big Christmas tree. Then we realized that my belly was exposed in the picture. We had a big laugh. We kept looking at that picture and kept laughing.

We took a detour back to her work and looked at houses with Christmas decorations. I took her back to work in three hours.

4 days later, I cherish that magic moment.
