Costco Shopping – April 11, 2014

Several months ago, I stopped adding salt to my cooking altogether. I don’t add salt when I eat anything. After several months of avoiding salt, if I eat salty food I can feel my tongue burning from too much sodium. But, I still miss the taste of salt… I want some kind of seasoning.

I bought a bottle of “No Salt Seasoning” by Kirkland Signature.

I bought a bottle of balsamic vinaigrette so I would enjoy salad without adding fatty dressing. I try to come up with my own low-fat dressing. 

All the other items I bought pretty much show I am thinking about eating better. (Oatmeal, fat-free milk, fish, pumpkin flax plus granola).

Let’s see how long I will keep it up.

Happy Valentine’s Day – Costco to Rescue

Happy Valentine’s Day.

I understand many people hate Valentine’s day because it’s just another commercialized day that society created for us to spend money.

I used to hate all holidays for that very reason.

Then I got older.. and I started to appreciate all commercially promoted holidays such as Valentine’s Day and Christmas. I now enjoy looking up at the sky and feel the season changing. As I get older, I feel more sentimental over a lot of things.

I went to Costco a day before Valentine’s Day. I had a blind faith that Costco must have the roses. They had a bunch of dozen roses for sale. They were $15.99 each (dozen). I also bought a simple card from the 99 Cents only store and wrote a short message. I spent less than $20 on everything.

Valentine’s day is just another stupid tradition. You can live your life either enjoying this stupid tradition or feel grumpy about it.

As always, God bless single people.
