* 5th Costco Shopping this year, 2nd time this month.
First of all, I had 4 hours of sleep last night. I was struggling to stay awake at work. I had to take an ephedrine pill to get me going (I bought them before they became illegal).
I did 3 loads of laundry after work. Then I went to Costco.
I am doing very well with saving money. I didn’t buy anything expensive. I didn’t buy any toys. All my food items have low fat & they are good for me. I bought Jose’s Coffee ($8.89) instead of Starbucks ($19.99).
I spent $75.49. But the gas pushed my grand total over $100.00.
Finally, at 9 pm, I went to the kitchen to make dinner.
Now I have a mountain of clean laundry to fold.
I went to Costco tire center for free tire maintenance. There, I saw a gentleman waiting for his car. We started to chat.
First, we talked about how many miles we drive. Then we talked about where we like to drive to. We talked about the lobster buffet at Chumash Casino. He bragged about his son and his business. I knew the area where his son’s business was, so we talked about the beautiful scenery in that area. We were talking about nothing but fun stuff (food, relatives, beautiful scenery…)
Then another gentleman (I’ll call him the “new guy”) walked in.
After a few minutes, the new guy opened his mouth. “What nationality are you?” he asked the gentleman. The gentleman revealed he was from Middle-East. And the new guy proceeded to grill the gentleman.
The new guy started by stating that he’d been to Egypt and some parts of Asia. Then he continued talking…
“Your country’s religion focuses on…. blah blah”
“Your country’s war changed… blah blah”
“Obama’s view on middle East is… blah blah”
The new guy walked in and sucked out the fun. Then he put the gentleman in the hot seat that he didn’t ask for. The gentleman was in defensive mode, explaining his position. But, according to the new guy, he knew Middle-East better than the gentleman who is actually from the Middle-East.
I walked away from that area because I didn’t want the new guy to think I was enjoying the conversation. I didn’t want him to think I was impressed. But, in fact, I was disgusted. What was wrong with this guy?
I felt sorry for the gentleman. Luckily, the conversation only lasted about 10 minutes. The gentleman’s car was ready.
I could have used an “ASS” stamp from Conan O’Brien show on the new guy.
* 3rd Costco Shopping this year, 3rd time this month.
I have a family gathering coming up tomorrow, so I bought some treats for my nephews. Then I picked up some items for myself (shirt, egg, v3, carrots, tuna).
* 2nd Costco Shopping this year, 2nd time this month.
I dropped by at Costco today for a hotdog. Also, I went to buy some items I absolutely needed.
Costco is having a sale on about a dozen vitamins. A lot of vitamins have an instant rebate of $2.00 and up. I saved $5.50 on two vitamins (pic). FYI: Most vitamins are good for 2 years.
