* 39th Costco Shopping this year, 2nd time this month.

Last 2 months, I spent more money than I made. So I am careful with money. I think I am doing OK this month. I booked 2 wedding photography gigs that I almost doubled my income this month. I have a few small gigs lined up next month as well. I need to be careful with money. 

I enjoyed today’s Costco shopping. I spent about 2 hours there. I looked everywhere. I talked to a nice lady who recommended to me which cheese I should try.

Today’s shopping items need to be divided into 2 groups.

First group – Normal, everyday items.

I bought 2 Calvin Klein long sleeves shirts – they go with my Calvin Klein jeans. Those shirts were adorable. They were $18.99 each.

The second group – for Thanksgiving.
I will be home alone for this Thanksgiving Day (the entire weekend). Please don’t feel sorry for me, because I enjoy being alone. I manage to entertain myself. It would be better if I spend time with my family and have a good dinner. But I’m still good.

Anyway… I bought some treats for Thanksgiving weekend. I still have to buy gravy, stuffing, & cranberry sauce… 

I plan to watch TV, DVD, and work on my personal projects. I will enjoy some coffee and diet Pepsi.

* I saved $16.25 with the coupons.

I spent total $217.87 (w/ gas)

* 38th Costco Shopping this year, 1st time this month.

3 pairs of Anti-Wrinkle Khakis (Dockers Classic Fit):
I have about 15 pairs of these slacks. But, when I saw them, I had to pick up 3 pairs. These slacks are $21.99 each, a really good price. I plan to “Save” these slacks for special days and night-outs, so I will look extra sharp.

Chocolates of the World:
I found Chocolates of the World! I couldn’t find them on my last 2 trips to Costco. I was thrilled to see them. I bought two. I am going to make them last until May 2010, which is the expiration date. (see picture below)

Jose’s coffee:
I’m going to bring Jose’s Coffee to work instead of my regular supply of Starbucks Coffee. I hope it tastes OK. Several months ago, I brought Kirkland Signature’s coffee to work. Everyone hated it (including myself) – so we had to trash the entire bag. Sorry Costco, your coffee is OK. It’s just we are very picky about coffee.

* 37th Costco Shopping this year, 5th time this month.

I haven’t worn blue jeans for about 5 years. Now I am trying to bring back that jeans & t-shirt look. 

I went to Costco to get one more pair of Calvin Klein Jeans (blue). And I saw black jeans, also by Calvin Klein.

So, I bought 2 pairs of black jeans as well ($22.79 each). Now I have 5 pairs of new jeans. I think I’m done with shopping for jeans. I better not gain weight. These jeans are tight at a 30-inch waist (a little embarrassing, actually).

I will eat that chicken for the next 3-4 days.

* 36th Costco Shopping this year, 4th time this month.

Ah~!! I forgot to buy eggs.

I went to Costco for fun. I really didn’t have to go.

I ended up buying things I didn’t need (except for the carrots).

* 35th Costco Shopping this year, 3rd time this month.

My co-worker wanted to buy some pillows. So, I took him to Costco.

After Costco, I took my coworker to Popeye’s Chicken. He never had Popeye’s Chicken before. He loved the chicken. He kept saying “good sh*t”

Update 2021 – I still have an unopened bottle of this diffuser. What was I thinking?

I am still doing good with my fitness goal.

I’ve been running twice a week for 6 months now. I rarely skip my workout schedule. On Mondays & Wednesdays, as soon as I get home from work, I run a steep hill for 15 minutes. I do light workouts on Tuesdays & Thursdays.

Today I wore an Adidas shirt, Adidas shoes, and Adidas shorts. They are all from Costco.

I look absolutely adorable in these; I tells ya…

I paid $15 for the shirt at Costco. They sell these elsewhere for $30+. If you buy a few of these workout outfits, it will pay for your Costco membership.

* 33rd Costco Shopping this year, 1st time this month

Two things here:

  1. Chocolates of the World: I like these chocolates very much.
  2. Essenza Reeds (home fragrance): Costco spoils me. I used to buy Arm & Hammer air freshener spray once a year. Now I cannot live without these fancy smells around me. I must have 2 bottles opened at all times (in different rooms).


The purchased item also includes the doormat – Love that doormat ($13.99)
