6th Costco shopping in 2018 – $21.66 (today) / $203.50 (this year)
Boring stuff…
5th Costco shopping in 2018 – $32.23 (today) / $181.84 (this year)
As usual, I didn’t buy anything special today. Boring..
I took a passport photo today at Costco. I have no plan to leave the country. I always keep my passport current, just in case.
I didn’t know annual membership for Costco was increased in July 2017.
$120 plus tax is $131.40. In order for executive membership to pay for itself, you need to receive $65.70 on a 2% rebate check (make a qualifying purchase of $3,285.00)
4 years ago I spent $5,249.50 – My executive membership paid for itself and then some.
Last year I spent $2,929.00, and I just received a check for $58.58. This check doesn’t pay for my executive membership. In fact, I lost $7.12. I may have to downgrade my membership.
I spend less money at Costco now. I have everything I want (TV, clothes, Kitchenware..). I don’t have much more to buy at Costco except food items. It is interesting that I shop less at Costco now that I have more money.

3rd Costco shopping in 2018 – $13.12 (today) / $144.15 (this year)
It was a lunchtime Costco shopping.
I ate a hot dog first. Celery and spinach are for Vitamix juice. I bought my Vitamix blender 6 years ago. I still use it twice a day. Chicken BLT salad (2 pack) was for my lunch at work.
Sorry about low-quality pictures. I forgot to bring my camera to Costco.
2nd Costco shopping in 2018 – $43.76 (today) / $131.03 (this year)
I went to Costco today for paper towels, sugar snap peas, minced garlic, and some salad for lunch at work.
Then I found this funky noodles. It’s Long Kow Organic Bean-Vermicelli Noodles. You can do a lot of things with these noodles *IF* you have some basic cooking skills. After soaking them in water, I would mix them with random vegetables, or I can put them in random soup. It’s a fun food product that I can enjoy once in a while.
The noodles are available at the Costco Business Center website

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.

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.
