First, SPAM was $4 off. SPAM~!!! They have 25% less sodium, so I can eat twice as much. Yum~!

5-HTP is supposed to balance my mood. So, I thought, I give it a chance.

I have a female coworker who can use 5-HTP. But there isn’t a friendly way to give it to her. “Hey, great news. These pills may stop you from being a beyotch”

For Labor Day weekend treat, I bought pork jerky and baby back ribs.

Roca candies are for one of my co-workers. Her last name is Roca. So, I will give it to her for fun. People love me at work because I do things like that.

I bought staple items such as toilet papers, shaving gels, scrub sponges, jumbo shrimps,…

I spent $183.99 and saved $39.00 with instant coupons.

I saw Lionel’s Polar Express train set at an amazing price (under $60). These train sets sell for $90 – $170 elsewhere. I love Polar Express. Watching Polar Express is my Christmas ritual. These trains will sell out quickly. Maybe I will buy one.

If you can’t find the train at your local Costco location, you can buy (possibly) the same item from Amazon. I do not guarantee they will be the same item.

SPAM~!!!  (my kitchen cabinet)

I enjoy looking for the first sign of Christmas at Costco. It usually starts with these ribbons in late July. The ribbons came back this year as usual. These don’t scream Christmas~!. But they will do.

Costco co-founder and chairman Jeff Brotman has died, according to the company. He was 74-years-old.

Today was the first day of the August Costco Coupon cycle, so I bought a few items. It was just a quick in and out shopping.

I don’t know if Focus Factor really works. I am afraid to get off of Focus Factor to see if my work performance will suffer. I do computer work at a large company. One error, one-click can cost me hours of troubleshooting time. Focus is very important for my job. I have a coworker who often spends hours trying to troubleshoot his own work. The guy never learns. But I will not tell him about Focus Factor. “Hey, dude, take these, so you don’t suck so bad”…

I don’t remember seeing Costco Nut Bars in the past. They are Kirkland Signature products, so you know they are good. They are not chewy like some other fancy bars. But I like these Nut Bars. They are tasty.  $16.89 for 30 bars is a really good price. There was no coupon for these Nut Bars. But it was a special price. Either these are temporary items (they will sell out) or they will raise the price next round. $16.89 is a good buy. I may buy one more.
