Remember this picture from last year?
I bought five jugs of Chocolates of the World and three cans of European cookies 10 months ago

from October 14, 2010 blog
On my blog, I said something about self-control. And I also said these chocolates would last a year.
Today is August 10, 2011. I still have one and a half jugs of Chocolates of the World. I have more than a half can of European cookies. Cookies are in the refrigerator. One jug of Chocolates of the World is in the freezer. It’s been frozen for 10 months.
I have been enjoying these snacks for the last 10 months. I eat one or two Chocolates every week. I enjoy cookies with or without coffee. My friends love it when I serve these cookies with coffee. Stocking up on these Christmas snacks was a good idea.
I hope Costco will carry them again this season, so I can do the same for next year. But I don’t think I can spend $80.00 on candies. I am so poor this year. I just thank God I still have a job.
These snacks are Costco’s Christmas tradition. If you haven’t tried them, don’t miss out this year.
