2 Costco Coupon Books for Holiday Season 2010
I have been complaining about my socks for several years now.
My complaints:
So, this is what I did:
Today, I brought my female friend to Costco. She has the same size feet as mine.
She went to Costco barefoot, wearing sandals.
We went to the lady’s underwear section where Calvin Klein socks were at. I found a pack of socks that was opened (somebody must have tried it on already). She tried the socks – it was a perfect fit for her.
So, I bought 9 packs (36 pairs total, $89.91+ tax = $97.78).
As always, $97.78 seems a lot of money for socks. But they are quality socks at $2.50/pair. And I may not buy another pair of socks for 10 years. I believe it was smart shopping. For example, Longs Drugs sells really ugly, cheap socks for $5/pair.
As we were checking out, a lady behind us said “Those are a lot of socks”.
My friend kept saying, “You wear girls’ socks, GIRLS~!!”
I like these socks. They look just like men’s dress-socks, except they fit me well.
I will rotate these socks about 5-7 times a year (I will wear the same socks 5-7 times a year). So, they will last many years.
I also wear white socks. I have about 40 pairs of white socks, and they need to be replaced as well.
I also need some brown socks.
Update 2021 – 11 years later, I still wear these socks, but rarely.
Nothing special… (chicken, fish, egg, vitamin…)
I bought one more sweater – another edition from Calvin Klein ($19.99)
I spent less than $70.00 today.
These Christmas candies are only available for the holiday season (October – December). So, I had to stock them up.
Chocolates of the World expires on June 1, 2011. So, I put one jug in the freezer and the second jug in the refrigerator. This way, I will enjoy fresh chocolate until the next holiday season. I’ll make the cookies to last several months. I couldn’t find the expiration date on the cookies. I may have to buy a few more cans of cookies. My guests love those cookies. They eat ’em up.
$80.00 for candy sounds extreme, but they will last a long time. If you look at the entire year, I spend less money on candy than most people. I don’t even drink soda too often (to save money).
Bad pictures – my apartment has a bad lighting
This is what I did last year. I bought 4 jugs of Chocolates of the World and put “opening dates” on them. I still haven’t finished the last jug.
Jose’s Coffee came to my Costco today. I bought a bag of Butterscotch Toffee coffee.
I will enjoy this coffee throughout the Holiday season. I was hoping Jose Coffee would come to my Costco warehouse. Jose’s Coffee will complete my holiday season in 2010. I was excited.
Of course, I bought a bunch of candies. I always eat chocolate.
I bought a set of fancy soaps as a Christmas gift for my friend. I figured girls like that kind of stuff. I don’t know what I’ll do if she doesn’t like this… I guess I’ll give her some cash.
Coupon saved $6.00 (Vitamin B & Dove soaps)
As I was checking out, 2 Costco employees commented about the number of candies I had.
Costco turned 27 years old today.
Costco opened its first warehouse in Seattle, Washington, on September 15, 1983.
Happy Birthday, Costco.
They sent me a new American Express card.
The new card has a black backside, and it says “Executive”
