Costco Shopping – July 28, 2009

* Today’s Costco shopping: 25th time this year, 3rd time this month

I spent over 1 hour at Costco today. I am an indecisive person. When I have unexpected products in front of me, I need to spend plenty of time deciding.

Food-wise, I bought the same old stuff, except for the cheese and seasoning salt. I’ve been doing good with money and diet.

I spent $196.48 today ($38.78 gas, $79.82 clothes, $77.88 food).

5 Lounge shirts were under $5 each. I like these shirts. These are extremely cheap. They are light and soft. They feel pleasing to my skin.

Adidas’ sport shirt was $14.99. I guess I could have spent the same amount of money and bought 2 shirts of lesser quality. But look at that shirt. It’s adorable. I love this shirt. I’ve been doing good with my workout routine. I lost 4 pounds since I started to run 3 months ago.

A pair of vacation shorts was $19.99. I could have saved a few bucks by buying cheaper shorts from Target. But these are Calvin Klein.

The yellow shirt goes with the vacation shorts – it’s for vacation (cruise).

Without Costco, I would buy cheaper quality clothes from elsewhere. I don’t mind buying cheaper quality clothes, but…

I spent almost the same amount of money I would have spent at discount stores. But I walked away with much better products.

This is a perfect example of “elevating my life-style with the same amount of money”

* Today’s Costco shopping: 24th time this year, 2nd time this month

I got 2 more long sleeves shirts. They look very good. But, after taking them home, I realized they are see-through. (show my nipples). So, I’ll have to take them back.

They had 2 packs of stainless steel water bottles for $19.99. I’ve been looking for one of these for some time. 

Plastic bottles are bad for the environment. Also, plastic bottles contain BPA (a bad chemical, they say).

But, personally, I bought these stainless steel bottles because they look cute. I’ve been running twice a week for the last 2 months now. I always carry a plastic water bottle when I run. Now I’m going to look even cooler.

I ordered 2 of these sports caps (below) from eBay ($11.31)
I hope they fit the bottles.

* Today’s Costco shopping: 23rd time this year, 1st time this month

Nothing special… boring.

Oh, I bought 2 long sleeves shirts.
Now I have three identical shirts. I love these shirts. They are so affordable ($16.95 each). The quality of these shirts is amazing. 

Since I never wear an undershirt, I always worry about my nipples showing through the shirt. These shirts are thick enough, but I still have to be careful. Showing nipples through a shirt is a disgusting look on men. Well, the same goes for 85% of the female population.

*51 & 52nd packages of the year

I bought a pair of brown shoes from Overstock.com ($30.00). These shoes are very comfortable. It equals my $150.00 pair of Ecco shoes.

Now I have a brown belt & a pair of brown shoes as a set. And I have a black belt and a pair of black shoes as a set. I’ve always wanted to wear clothes like that – matching colors.

I don’t even know why I bought this flask (below). I never drink. I thought it was cool. It was $6.00 including shipping. 

This entire year, as of July 11, I drank half a can of beer. That’s all.  3 weeks ago my boss brought beer to work. So, I pretended I was drinking… and I dumped it down the sink. 

Transformers

I watched Transformers (2007). I enjoyed this movie because I grew up in the ’80s watching the cartoon.

And I remembered seeing that movie set. I went to Down Town Los Angeles on September 9, 2006. I saw this movie set on the street, so I took a picture. Look below.

Now I know it was for Transformers
