* Today’s Costco shopping: 16th time this year, 3rd time this month

I bought a pair of Adidas running shoes from Costco. I needed those shoes to replace my 5 years old gym shoes.

They were only $28.99/pair. They are very light and designed for running.

* Today’s Costco shopping: 15th time this year, 2nd time this month

Ah~~  So busy. It’s the last night to file income tax.

I bought a pair of Adidas shoes. It was my first time seeing Adidas shoes at Costco.

I bought a swimming trunk. But, I haven’t swum in 10 years. Maybe I will need it on a vacation.

I have money and time for a vacation. I have 4 weeks of vacation time. My accounting lady’s been telling me to take a vacation for over 1 year now. The thing is that I don’t need a vacation. I am pretty relaxed and happy at work. There is no stress. If I meet the right friend, I shall enjoy traveling. But I am alone for now… I’m happy without a vacation.

Kirkland Signature’s AAA batteries are the best. I brought a $2.00 off coupon for Duracell batteries, but Kirkland Signature’s batteries were a lot better deal without a coupon.

I spent $120.00. I saved $18.00 with coupons. Then I put 12.65 gallons of gas for $27.82 ($2.199/g)

Costco Cereals
50/50 mix of Honey Bunches of Oats & Kirkland Signature Organic Raisin Bran with Soy Milk. This is my favorite combination so far.

Nothing Special today.

I have a long Costco shopping list for next week (with the coupons). Today, I just needed some basic stuff fast.

I bought 3 more shirts ($45.00). I just need a few more shirts. I need a few more pairs of dark pants for work.

Costco Chicken:
I love Costco chicken. But, when you live alone, you are the only person eating that bird. That means I will eat nothing but Costco chicken for the next 2-3 days. I am not sure if I can finish the whole thing this time.  

Below is a reshoot of the shirts under better light, with correct color balance

The coupon book is out. Check your mailbox.

I see a lot of good stuff. I may have to spend a lot of money next week.

My shopping list from this coupon:

  • Candies (I am debating which one to get)
  • Trash bags
  • Ritz crackers
  • Hebrew National Kosher Beef Franks
  • Orange chicken
  • Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers Variety Pack
  • Valley Fine Foods Pasta Prima Chicken & Mozzarella Ravioli
  • Apache 3’x5′ Commercial Grade Scraper Mat
  • Kirkland Signature Chicken Alfredo with Penne Pasta
  • Vitamin B-12 (Good timing – I was running out of them) 

* I am looking at this tiny Olympus Camera (FE-370) for $99.99 after $30.00 off. I don’t need this camera, but this camera is very cute.

I eat 1 1/2 slices of bread for breakfast.

1 slice is too little.  2 slices are too much.

So, I make a sandwich with 1.5 slices of bread & 3 slices of ham.
When I told my friends about it, they seemed puzzled about how I distribute & stack 1.5 pieces of bread in one sandwich.

It’s very simple. I do it like this.

I spent less than $70.00 today.

I have a cold, so I bought some chicken soups and medication.

(Sorry, I am very busy. I am having a hard time keeping up with my Costco blog…)

* Today’s Costco shopping: 12th time this year, 2nd time this month 

I am always busy. I mean super busy…

Right after work, I had a meeting with my wedding photography customers. We had a pleasant talk for an hour. I booked the wedding, and they cut me the check on the spot. When I meet customers, I have a high ratio of closing the deal. Sometimes I book events without even meeting them. Some customers sent me deposits from Japan, Canada, New York… without meeting me.

After the meeting, I had a brief time shopping at Costco. I arrived there at 8:15 pm, 15 minutes before the closing time.

I went through my shopping list quickly. I bought 2 bags of Starbucks Coffee. I am going to give one bag to my neighbor. 

I enjoy giving things to my neighbors. I love watching people feeling happy because of what I do for them.

I spent less than $70.00 today (used 3 coupons).

I came home around 9 pm and I fixed a quick dinner.

Tired…
