Gibson Les Paul

This is Gibson Les Paul.  This particular model is almost $1,400.00, which is pretty cheap for a Gibson.

I have been eye-balling this guitar for… about 25 years now.

This morning, I put this guitar in the shopping cart.  I almost checked out, then I stopped.  I didn't have guts to click "Submit" button.

This was the second time I ALMOST bought Les Paul.  Now I'm older and have some cash, but it's still a lot of money.  I already have 2 professional guitars.

I guess I will buy this guitar sooner or later.  But… it's painful.
It's painful to buy it.  It's painful not to buy it.
When I think about buying this guitar, my heart beats faster and my face gets warm.  I feel like I am at the final showcase of "The Price is Right"

Grocery Shopping – Last Entry

I enjoy driving to supermarkets at night. It’s very relaxing. 

The total cost of tonight’s shopping was $7.77 (Vons & Ralphs). I saved $15.28. But who really pays $2.50 for a pound of tomatoes.

* Today’s Costco shopping: 27th time this year, 2nd time this month

I’m still trying to figure out how these came out to be $173.57

Coupons saved me $45.49 – And I still spent $173.57

* Today’s Costco shopping: 26th time this year, 1st time this month 

I bought one more of those adorable Adidas shirts.

I am trying to buy a sofa. So, I need to make a room. In order to do that, I need to organize everything. The File organizer was what I needed to clean up my paper mess. 

One Costco chicken gives me 4 meals. I usually get sick of Costco chicken after finishing it.

* Today’s Costco shopping: 25th time this year, 3rd time this month

I spent over 1 hour at Costco today. I am an indecisive person. When I have unexpected products in front of me, I need to spend plenty of time deciding.

Food-wise, I bought the same old stuff, except for the cheese and seasoning salt. I’ve been doing good with money and diet.

I spent $196.48 today ($38.78 gas, $79.82 clothes, $77.88 food).

5 Lounge shirts were under $5 each. I like these shirts. These are extremely cheap. They are light and soft. They feel pleasing to my skin.

Adidas’ sport shirt was $14.99. I guess I could have spent the same amount of money and bought 2 shirts of lesser quality. But look at that shirt. It’s adorable. I love this shirt. I’ve been doing good with my workout routine. I lost 4 pounds since I started to run 3 months ago.

A pair of vacation shorts was $19.99. I could have saved a few bucks by buying cheaper shorts from Target. But these are Calvin Klein.

The yellow shirt goes with the vacation shorts – it’s for vacation (cruise).

Without Costco, I would buy cheaper quality clothes from elsewhere. I don’t mind buying cheaper quality clothes, but…

I spent almost the same amount of money I would have spent at discount stores. But I walked away with much better products.

This is a perfect example of “elevating my life-style with the same amount of money”
