Getting ready for Super Bowl.

I bought a Calvin Klein V-Neck Tee Shirt and a pack of Costco Shopping bags.
The T-shirt was only $12.99. These shirts are very nice if you are a fit person. It’s a slim fit cut.


A female friend of mine wanted to experience my shopping routine. So, I took her shopping to Costco, Wal*Mart, ROSS, Target, and Del Taco (my usual routine). We ate Costco Hot Dogs. We were done shopping around 10:30 pm.
I used my executive member 2% rebate check and received $66.83 cashback.

If I had the money, I would replace all my T-shirts, about 30 of them, with these Kirkland Signature’s Pima Cotton T-Shirts.
I look exactly the same every day at work. Simply put, I don’t care how I look at work. I wear 1 size larger pair of pants to work (for comfort). I wear Costco’s black T-shirt every day. My black T-shirts have better quality than most cheap T-shirts people wear. But, in fact, my shirts are undershirts.
###
I always keep 10-20 cans of Healthy Choice Chicken Soups. I use them to fight cold (flu). I believe in the power of chicken soup. I believe chicken soup works better than any cold medication. I ate several cans of these soups last week to fight the flu. And I needed a refill. There were $3 instant savings on them.
* When I’m at work, I wear 31-inch waist pants. When I go out for Costco shopping, I change into a pair of 30-inch waist pants. My female friend made a comment that I am wearing tight pants to Costco.
Update 2021 – I never wear a t-shirt to work. I only wear an imported dress shirt, often with cuff-links. I don’t keep chicken soup at home, but I make chicken stock in the freezer. When I catch a cold, I buy make chicken soup from scratch.


I received my annual Costco 2% executive membership reward check, amount of $96.36. Costco’s executive membership is $110/yr. So, I pay $55/yr more than a regular membership.
With a $96.36 check, my executive membership pays for itself and it pays $46.36 extra. That’s not all. I have Costco/American Express membership. I will receive about $160.00 cashback from AmericanExpress as well.
And I live alone, AND I don’t shop a lot. If you have a big family, then your check must be huge.
This means I spent at least $4818.00 in Costco last year. That seems a lot.

A happy new year for everyone. I can’t believe my favorite time of the year has come and went already. I’ll have to wait 7 months ’til I see the first sign of Christmas at Costco.
I didn’t buy anything special today.
Bona – this is a wood floor cleaner.
AA Batteries have an expiration date of 2022.
Then I have my first Costco hotdog of the year. It was a good time.
I hope 2013 will go by slowly. Time fly too fast for me.
Happy new year again. I will keep in touch.








For many years, I wanted to some REAL mixing bowls. I was happy to see Kirkland Signature Mixing Bowls at my Costco warehouse. I believe these are special items. Once they are gone, they will not come back for a long time (or they will never come back). This is one reason I go to Costco weekly. You don’t want to miss out on good stuff.
Pro & Con: These are not as thick as the ones I saw at Bed Bath and Beyond that I liked. I can see rich folks will find them too thin. There are better ones (thicker ones) out there. But, if your standard is not as high, they are great buy. To me, they are perfect.
I’ve been using a cheap plastic bowl from 99 Cents Only Store to mix pancakes. So, this is a big step up for me. I wanted some good mixing bowls for the last 10 years. I can finally afford them.
* Sorry, I forgot how much they were. I lost my receipt. They were $29.99 (maybe less ?).

I enjoy my time in the kitchen. Quality kitchen items make my time more enjoyable.
