Pancake Breakfast (with SPAM)

I was craving pancakes for Sunday breakfast (with SPAM).

SPAM:

I think SPAM is one of the most under-rated food items.
Whenever people talk about SPAM, they make faces and/or say “Yuck!”. As if they are too good for SPAM.

But the fact is that SPAM is one of the most popular food items. I don’t eat SPAM every day (not even every month). But I have to have SPAM once in a while. I love SPAM.

I eat SPAM raw when it’s freshly opened. And I love it fried.

Finally Opened the Printer

Here’s a printer I bought almost 2 years ago (September 2008). I paid $50.00 with free shipping.

My old printer died this weekend. So, after 20 months, I finally opened this printer. It prints well.

I went online and checked the price of this printer. They still sell this printer for $160 and up.

Update 2021 – I still use this printer. It prints well.

Costco gave me (back) $50

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.   

Costco Shopping – April 23, 2010, With a Friend

* 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.

Sign of Getting Old – Flowers

Another sign of getting old

First time in my life I bought flowers to decorate my place.

That’s my dining table. I hate to replace the table. I love my apartment. I enjoy living here a lot. But I don’t feel the need to spend money on this apartment. (update 2021 – I was saving to buy a house)
