I looked everywhere, but I didn’t see any sign of Christmas at Costco today. But Christmas is coming to Costco soon.
I really like Kirkland Signature Basil Pesto, so I bought one more jar while it was still on sale. They freeze well. I guess they will last well over a year in the freezer. If you take it out of the freezer, they quickly become soft that you can scoop it out while the pasta is getting ready.
I shall always keep this Basil Pesto and pasta at home. I need to grow basil.
I bought Jose’s Chocolate Raspberry coffee to get ready for Christmas. I will enjoy this coffee on Thanksgiving day when I bake a turkey, and when I watch Polar Express on Christmas Eve.
2 dozen roses were $13.99.

I went out for Sunday morning Costco shopping.
Sunday morning Costco shopping is special to me. I have to make a special plan and get up earlier than usual. It’s a hassle because I want to enjoy a lazy Sunday morning. But it’s fun once I am out and about.
Costco is crazy busy on Sunday, so I arrived there exactly at 10 AM and left before 10:30 AM. There was no fooling around. I just focused on my shopping list. I use Costco APP’s “Lists” feature for my shopping.
Cherries are amazingly good. I have tried both organic and non-organic cherries from Costco. Organic cherries are much better (tastier) than non-organic cherries. But I need to try more before I conclude organic cherries are tastier.
I went to Walmart after Costco. I came home exactly at 11 am.

I made a quick stop at Costco Friday after work. I didn’t buy anything exciting. I didn’t see my favorite sample lady today. I didn’t see my little buddy at the optical department.
I picked up two dozen roses. They were only $13.99.
I almost walked out… then I went back for a hot dog.

Late post:
I bought 12 pairs of Kirkland Signature Brushed Twill Pants a few months ago. I rarely wear jeans at work anymore, mainly because I got older. I am too old to wear neon-colored Nike like my coworkers so. I am too old to carry a Jansport backpack like my coworkers so. There is nothing wrong with jeans, sneakers, and backpacks. If you are in your 50s and 60s and still able to rock teen fashion, more power to you. As for me, I look better in Italian shoes and a leather briefcase.
These brushed twill pants are pretty OK. I don’t have to iron these pants. I’ve been wearing them daily to work.
