This is my Costco executive card 2% rebate check this year.
$104.99 means I spent $5,249.50 at Costco last year.
Basic membership is $55.00/year
Executive membership is $110/year.
So, I need to receive a $55.00 rebate check to cover my executive membership fee. With this rebate check, I am getting paid $49.99 to be an executive member.
But this is not the only check I will receive this year. There is Costco/AmEx back check coming up. I will receive about $270.00 there.
Happy new year~!
This was my first Costco shopping in 2014.
2014 – I can’t believe I started this website 6 years ago. Will I be doing this 6 years from now?
I had a bunch of staple items to buy. Coupon saved $26.00.
I stock up on chicken soup for when I catch a cold. I truly believe in the power of chicken soup. I need V8 juice for busy mornings when I don’t have time to make Vitamix juice.
I didn’t buy anything fancy. It is my new year’s resolution to save money. With my new year’s resolution, I still spent $124.61. I think I’m doing OK as long as nothing goes to trash.
Happy new year. I will keep in touch.
Last blog of 2013
I made a ham on Christmas day. I need to improve my cooking skill.
I had a stressful Thanksgiving day that I had to cancel my dinner.
2 days later, on Saturday, I forced myself to bake a turkey. It came out pretty good.
I had a miserable holiday season in 2013. Horrible… I didn’t tell you at that time.
I went to Costco for a quick shopping on my lunchtime.
I don’t drink soda anymore; I quit soda. I drink sparkling mineral water instead. So, this must be better for me. But I just spent $75 on designer water (after $14 savings).
This is why some people hate Americans. People make a little extra money… and their heads get too big and spend money on luxury items. I need to wake up, stay humble, and save.
2014 will be all about saving money. You’ll see. I will save.
7th time Costco shopping this month. 3rd straight day of Costco shopping today.
I went to a Costco in a different city to pick up another scarf. This one was for my family member’s birthday.
At Costco, I met a chubby gentleman wearing a really nice Santa hat. I struck a conversation with him because I wanted to know where he bought his Santa hat.
It turned out he is a professional Santa. I had a nice talk with this gentleman. He said he booked solid for the season. He already made a few public appearances. He told me he gets butterflies in his stomach every time before he makes an appearance.
What do you know, even Santa shops at Costco.
