24th Costco shopping in 2018 – $255.93 (today) / $1451.02 (this year)

Nest is a smart home thermostat that can communicate with a smartphone. I am about to put in a new central air conditioner (3-ton unit) at my house. I will also replace the existing old heater and duct system. This is a huge purchase (mucho dinero). This is exciting. I am taking 2 days off from work to oversee the installation process.

I didn’t get my air conditioner from Costco. I didn’t consider Costco as a possibility because there is no such thing as Costco HVAC^† Center. We have Costco Tire Center and Costco Optical Center. But, when it comes to HVAC^†, we only have a third-party salesperson standing by the exit.

^†HVAC – Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning

23rd Costco shopping in 2018 – $68.56 (today) / $1195.09 (this year)

I cannot use bleach on most of my white clothes. For example, most decent dress shirts, including Costco shirts, call for non-chlorine bleach. I’ve been seeing Oxi Clean commercials for many years. So, I finally decided to give Oxi Clean a chance. I hope this is the product I was looking for.

Energy shots are on sale. They were 0.56 for each shot. I often get very sleepy at work. $0.56 is super cheap, especially if you compare this to 5-hour Energy ($1.50 each when on sale).

What you don’t see is 40 packs of drinking water on the bottom of the basket.

I am happy with my life. I don’t want to change anything. But I do realize my blog is boring. I will try to do something fun.

Costco Rotisserie Chicken for a single living

I cannot eat the whole Chicken in a day or two. So, to maximize my eating pleasure and to stretch my money, this is what I do.

I divide the bird, put them in small containers, and freeze them.

Power Green and Costco Chicken for lunch. I enjoy that salad a lot. I use a plastic fork so I don’t make clinking sounds at work.

I think I am done buying spinach at Costco. I’ve been having bad luck with Costco spinach too often. I would take these bags home and realize they are already getting old despite long expiration dates. It’s because It’s too dark at Costco produce room that I cannot visually decide if my bag of spinach is fresh or not. It is frustrating. They need some more light in the produce cave. I think I am done buying spinach at Costco. I will stay with Power Greens, or get spinach from Smart and Final (store in California), where the lighting is better.

I should take the bag outside of the produce cave and look at it again.
