* 33rd Costco Shopping this year, 1st time this month
Two things here:
The purchased item also includes the doormat – Love that doormat ($13.99)
When it doubts, buy it. Costco will not over-charge you.
Case in the study: Food Wrap by Kirkland Signature – $8.99 (double pack)
At first glance, you might think $9 for 2 rolls of food wraps is not much of a bargain. But look at this.
If you are lucky, you can buy a roll of food wrap for $.99 (from a 99-cent-only store). This roll contains a 100 SQ. FT. of inferior quality plastic wrap.
With Kirkland Signature’s Food Wrap (double pack), you get 1500 SQ. FT of high-quality plastic wrap. That’s 166 SQ FT per Dollar.
So, with the same amount of money, you get 66% more of a high-quality product.
But that’s not all
Think about helping the environment.
To get 1500 SQ. FT. of plastic wrap, you need 15 rolls of cheaper wraps. With Costco’s double pack, you save raw material to package 13 rolls.
Everyone wins with Costco.
So when in doubt? Buy at Costco.
Happy shopping.
I went to Mongolian BBQ with my coworker.
You put whatever you want in the bowl. And they will cook it for you.
Dinner is all-you-can-eat. But for lunch, you only get one trip. So, it’s up to you to pile up the food as high as possible. And guess what? I am the king of Mongolian BBQ.
Look at the picture below. On the right side, my co-worker tried to put as much food as possible in his bowl. My bowl is on the left.
It’s kind of embarrassing piling that high. But, it’s entertaining when I’m out with the guys. Funny funny stuff.
Oh yeah. Check this out. Everything will be just fine.
The cookie told me so.
Here is proof that we have a bunch of yuppies at work.
We have coffee from Brazil & New Orleans. They have exotic flavors.
Then we have a steady supply of Peet’s Coffee (my boss’ supply).
I bring a steady supply of Starbucks.
Out of all these, my Starbucks Coffee (from Costco) is the least popular coffee at work right now. Starbucks is still pretty good but… I like the other ones more as well.
* Today’s Costco shopping: 28th time this year, 3rd time this month
I didn’t have to go to Costco today. But I was having a boring day. I wanted to drive somewhere. So I went to Costco.
This is Gibson Les Paul. This particular model is almost $1,400.00, which is pretty cheap for a Gibson.
I have been eye-balling this guitar for… about 25 years now.
This morning, I put this guitar in the shopping cart. I almost checked out, then I stopped. I didn't have guts to click "Submit" button.
This was the second time I ALMOST bought Les Paul. Now I'm older and have some cash, but it's still a lot of money. I already have 2 professional guitars.
I guess I will buy this guitar sooner or later. But… it's painful.
It's painful to buy it. It's painful not to buy it.
When I think about buying this guitar, my heart beats faster and my face gets warm. I feel like I am at the final showcase of "The Price is Right"
I enjoy driving to supermarkets at night. It’s very relaxing.
The total cost of tonight’s shopping was $7.77 (Vons & Ralphs). I saved $15.28. But who really pays $2.50 for a pound of tomatoes.
