Hi, I am John. I started this Costco blog in 2008 and never stopped blogging. I represent single people living alone. (about me)
The goal of my blog is to kill time and share love. And, I love Costco, so I talk about Costco a lot. I truly believe Costco adds value to my life.
If you hate Costco for its long lines, you probably hate your family members for eating too slow. Enjoy your family. Enjoy Costco. The lines aren’t that bad, really.
Let me know if you would like to write a Costco blog here with me.
Video: Cooking with Gourmia air fryer (Fish & Chips – with Chowder)
Win a Gourmia Air Fryer. Enter below. (Thank you Gourmia for making my visitor happy)
My blog is 16 years old, and I never blog for money. If somebody sends me an air fryer, I will say “Thank you” and cook with it. I try to stay neutral when I review. But… did you watch the video? Did it look like I had fun with this air fryer? Doesn’t that make your mouth water?
Gourmia air fryer has a new model. This one has a window and a light, so you can look inside without opening the container. To me, that’s a significant update. The temperature goes up to 450F. The unit is smaller than the older model, but the capacity is 1 Quart bigger than before. With that, the price hasn’t changed – at $49.99. Sometimes this goes on sale for $39.99 (October 2024)
Costco item #6232432, Gourmia 8-Quart Digital Air Fryer with Window & Light. User manual and more information available at Costco website. Official Gourmia Website – https://www.gourmia.com/ – Check out their kitchen products.

In the good-old days, all brand-name sneakers sold in Costco were high quality. I used to buy (brand-name) sneakers at Costco and keep them for several years as backup. But lately, Costco sometimes sells low-quality sneakers. They look cheap as if they cut corners manufacturing them. All I want is a pair of sneakers that looks normal (classic). See the picture below. I already don’t like the white stripes on the tongues. The shoes will look much better without them. Hm….
Update: I saw the shoes at Costco. I didn’t like the look at all. But, I bought them anyway. It was a good price. I will use it for indoor running (treadmill). I have another pair of Adidas for outdoor running.
Charmin toilet paper is not on sale. They are long overdue.
Charmin toilet paper on sale
After writing this blog I checked the Costco website and saw Charmin bathroom tissues on sale. They were on sale for 9 days only (the sale ends June 16, 2024). I happened to drive by a Costco warehouse today, so I picked up two 30-packs and saved $13. They were $23.49 each after savings. This reminded me to visit the Costco website occasionally.
If you are budget-minded, the Kirkland Signature brand gives you a better value for money. You get more for money with KS toilet paper at a regular price, compared to the sales price of Charmin. I had used KS toilet paper for many years. I bought a pack of Charmin a few years ago to see why they cost more. I’ve been buying Charmin since then. Kirkland Signature is good. Charmin is fancier.
