Costco Shopping – June 26, 2013

Quick shopping Wednesday after work.

I had a craving for some cheese. 

I like these toilet brushes (2 packs for $19) But; I don’t know about that extra brush head. In order to replace the brush head, you must touch the old brush head. I am NOT touching anywhere close to that brush head. That’s disgusting.

Costco Shopping – June 15, 2013 / Bamboo Bowl

I bought 4 more T-Shirts.  Bought some seasoned sea-weeds, a book about local history, etc..

Today’s highlight was 14 Inch bamboo bowls by Island Bamboo. These bowls are beautiful. There were different colors such as red and green. I liked the natural bamboo color. I thought $24.99 was a crazy low price. So, I got one. This bowl will occasionally come in handy.

Right after Costco shopping, I went to a local farmers’ market. I found a bamboo bowl there. With my naked eyes, that bowl looked identical to what I just bought from Costco, no kidding…identical to my eyes. He wanted $75.00 for just a bowl (no utensils included).

As soon as I got home, I went online and looked up the 14″ Island Bamboo bowl. I found the same bowls at Amazon for $46.00. They didn’t even include utensils.

And, finally, I went to eBay and found somebody selling this same product for $54.99 (free shipping). I often think about buying stuff at Costco and selling them at eBay. I guess many people are doing just that.

Quick update. Sorry, I am busy

OMG, I am so busy.

I hope you are enjoying Memorial Day weekend. I will not have any time off. I will work 10 – 12 hours every single day throughout the weekend (SAT, SUN, & MON).

I had 3 personal jobs (photography gigs) that I couldn’t refuse. Who would turn away money?  And, you know, I’ve been poor all my life. So, I am happy to work day and night during the holiday weekend. I will slow down sometime next month (mid-June).

It’s been 3 months since I got a new job. I now work at a large company as a web guy. I didn’t know how to break the news about my new job, because I felt awkward (just like when I bought a house – it’s awkward showing off). 

Before, many people found my blog refreshing because I was living in a small apartment, trying to save money, trying to find love… and still shared positive energy. I believe I made a lot of connections with people in a similar situation.  I now lost some major contributing elements that gave my blog its unique personality. I feel a little awkward about that.

For now, I will keep talking about Costco shopping and Costco products. You may notice I spend a little more money than before.

I now have 3 decent electric guitars. Ideally, I would like to have 5-6 electric guitars and 1-2 acoustic guitars.

I need to get back to work now.

Happy Memorial Day weekend for everyone. I will talk to you soon.
