* 18th Costco Shopping this year, 1st time this month.

Nothing special today.

That’s a lot of strawberries for one person. I cannot finish all that. But what can I do? Give up strawberries because I live alone?

* 17th Costco Shopping this year, 3rd time this month.

I went to Costco today to relieve the stress I had from work.
I should feel lucky that I have a job… but I am stressed.

I took my time and looked around.

I feel better now.

I am thinking about going back to Costco next week.
I find it therapeutic.

Hello there! I just got back from Costco. Unfortunately, my car broke down in the parking lot. But that is another story.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Alan, and I am from Seattle. The main two Costcos I shop at are the 4th Ave store (which is the original Costco, let me remind you!) and the Issaquah store. I go about 3-4 times a month, for both business and pleasure.

I buy most everything at Costco… food, electronics, clothes, household items, etc. I am single and in my 20s, so not really too much bulk stuff, I like Costco more for the deals on everyday items.  

So back to today. I noticed that the air conditioner I bought for my condo is now on sale. I purchased the unit a little less than a month ago for $50 more. I was not going to bring the unit in, so I brought the receipt in. Fortunately for me, the Returns man was most helpful; he checked my receipt and gave me $50 cash on the spot. Love Costco!

Of course, I immediately spent the $50 and then some the same day… getting a couple of Wii games (I just bought the Wii at Costco on Monday:), as well as coupon items Dove soap, toilet paper, San Pellegrino Limonata (which by the way, I take credit for Costco stocking as I wrote them a letter about the need to carry it… they listened!) and a copy of Toy Story on BluRay ($8.50 and comes with a free ticket to Toy Story 3!).  

I’ll try to remember to post photos in the future. Glad to be blogging here. I am a true Costco fan.

* 13th Costco Shopping this year, 2nd time this month.

I went to Costco with a friend.

My receipt shows $108.79, but we went half and half on some items.

Coupons saved $21.00

I like Laughing Cow cheese. It was my first time tasting Laughing Cow Cheese (thanks for the $2.00 coupon).

My Friend:
My friend is an elementary school teacher trying to lose weight. That’s why you see 100 calories snack bars & some silly candies. She bought some cat food.

The shrimp cocktail was for my guest.

I am happy with Papua New Guinea coffee from Kirkland Signature. This 3lb bag was only $13.89. This coffee is milder than Starbucks’ French roast. I can smell a hint of “Earth” on this coffee. The beans are shiny with a fresh coat of oil.

I was sick a few weeks ago, so I was out of DayQuil.

I’m still doing good with money.
