Costco and American Express are breaking up. My American Express card will no longer work at Costco next year. I will no longer receive a cashback reward check. Without a Costco cash-back reward, I have no reason to continue using the American Express card.
Anyway, here’s my cash back reward certificate of $262.03
I am crossing my fingers for good news on the AmEx alternative for Costco members.
Costco’s executive members receive 2% on most Costco purchases.
I received $55.48, so it paid for my executive membership plus 48 Cents.
That garden watering kit seemed pricy ($21.49). But I wanted to treat myself with some fancy gardening tool. I water my plants every day. So, $21, 49 is a small price for convenience and fun I may have.
Spring is coming. I planted 1 lemon tree in the front yard.
I replaced the kitchen faucet.
After Costco shopping yesterday, I had a phone conversation with a friend. I told her I bought a nice kitchen faucet at Costco. And, get this, she asked me how much it would cost me to install it. I was a little offended. She completely dismissed my mechanical common sense. I am not clueless. I build my computers from scratch. So, I told her that there should be no problem for me to install the faucet. I have never replaced a kitchen faucet before, but how hard can it be?
So, today, I installed the kitchen faucet.
I’ve been checking out this kitchen faucet for a while. Kitchen faucets have a wide range of prices. At Home Depot, I saw kitchen faucets ranging from $40 to $200+. I bought this faucet with blind faith. This has to be a good deal. It looks pretty good. The difficult part is that I have to install it. This WaterRidge faucet was $78.99.
I like the Kashi granola bar. It’s tasty. I bought 2 more boxes. Everyone should keep granola bars at work. I often get hungry at work. I didn’t research, but my guess is that granola bars are better than Sneaker bars.
Six Calla lily bulbs were $11.99. This is a great price. Costco will have flower bulbs that will perform in your climate (zone). And they will be available for you at the right time to plant them. This is a great benefit of shopping at Costco. It takes away the guessing game.
A glass pot of live tulips is for my mother.
