Costco Shopping – August 10, 2013

I bought one more coffee grinder. (picture below) One on the left is the new one. I need 4 coffee grinders for  4 coffee flavors I enjoy.

  1. Coffee for Weekdays
  2. Coffee for the weekend
  3. Espresso (fine grind, set for percolator)
  4. Coffee of the season (flavored, decaf, etc.)

Peet’s Coffee made an appearance at my Costco warehouse. It’s Major Dickason’s Blend. This is one of my favorite coffees and much better than Starbucks Coffee. I like McDonald’s and Wendy’s coffee better than Starbucks Coffee. Starbucks Coffee is too acidic… bitter.

And I bought some snacks and quick dinner items.

* Update: A few days later at work, I visited my co-workers’ office. I had my coffee mug with me. I was sitting about 10 feet away from them (2 guys). We were talking about STD and pregnancy (guy talk). One of them interrupted our conversation and said, “Your coffee smells good.” “It’s Peet’s” I smiled.

Update 2021 – Pete’s coffee is my only coffee now. No more expensive coffee for me. And no more espresso. I drink flavored coffee sometimes.

No more clipping coupons – It is official

It’s official, this answers our question.

(officially) We do not have to clip coupons anymore. You can just show your coupon books without clipping them. Additionally, you don’t have to have a coupon book with you. If you have a smartphone, you can show coupons from your mobile app. Your cashier will honor the coupon you show on your mobile app.

* I will not be surprised if a lot of Costco warehouses apply coupon discounts to every shopper automatically, without asking for coupons.

Until this point, officially, we were supposed to clip coupons.

Costco Shopping – August 2, 2013

I really like this queen-size fuzzy (microfiber) blanket by Calvin Klein. I have 4 fuzzy (microfiber) blankets, but they don’t cover my entire body. So, during the cold season, I use 2 blankets when I watch TV in the living room. It’s about time they have a bigger size blanket. I may buy one more as a backup.

It was a quick shopping. I also bought gas and ate a slice of pizza.

Costco Shopping – July 12, 2013

I used a $2.00 coupon for Irish Spring (original). I always use 2 soaps, Irish Springs (dry) and Dove (moisturized). To me, it is important that I have two different kinds of soaps. For example, I want my face to be squeaky clean, but I don’t want my arms to dry. With today’s shopping, I don’t have to worry about soap for the next 2-3 years. 

What’s in the bag is a lobster tail (small one – $7.20)

I was a little disappointed at the peanuts. They were not as meaty as they were supposed to. They were all on the dark side (color) and kind of dry as if they were over-roasted. It has a hint of bitterness in taste. I am not really happy with this batch. It will be a long time until I buy these peanuts again.

I didn’t see any Christmas items at Costco yet.
