Upgrade your Windows 7 – Free

If you didn’t know – Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 7. So, Windows 7 is finished and not safe.

If you still use Windows 7, Microsoft is currently providing a free upgrade to Windows 10. Visit this link at Microsoft and follow the instruction. If you need further information, search articles online.

I just upgraded my computer last night, the entire process went smoothly. I made complete hard drive backup before AND after the upgrade as a routine procedure.

The free upgrade is going on right now. I don’t know when they will stop providing free upgrades. I have one more computer to upgrade.

Costco Shopping – January 23, 2020

5th Costco Shopping in 2020 – $53.61 today / $324.92 this year
Member Only Savings – $18.50 today / $68 this year

My song of the day. What I’m listening now.

Costco member only savings (coupon) saved $18.50.

I picked up some extra bottles of Biotin, hoping they will grow my hair. I’ve been taking an extra dose of Biotin for the last few months.

Woolite for all clothes (#2154729) was $12.49 after $3.50 instant saving. The price alone was the reason I decided to I give it a try. I believe all brand-name laundry detergents are the same besides the scent. I buy all my laundry detergents at Costco, so they are all good. I wouldn’t buy some mystery laundry detergents at 99 Cents only store. Also, I question the freshness of 99 Cents only stores laundry detergents. Remember, laundry detergents break down (lose effectiveness) after 6-12 months.

I wrote the purchase date on Woolite jug so I will know how long they last.

PS. OMG, my blog is so boring. Haha. But, I wish you a boring and predictable life. I hope nobody will get sick… no hospital, no court date. I wish you will enjoy your everyday coffee, walk your dog every day, sit on your old couch… and smile forever. Talk to you later.

4th Costco Shopping in 2020 – $1.64 today / $271.31 this year

Since some people don’t like paper straws, this time I paid close attention to the paper straw. I couldn’t find anything wrong with the paper straw. I have absolutely no complaint. I like these paper straws – with or without environmental benefits.

These don’t count

One of my new year’s resolutions is NOT to buy more than 3 pairs of Italian shoes. Today I received 2 pairs of Italian shoes in the mail – one pair of Oxford with full brogue and the other pair of suede sneakers. (FYI: The tag says Lactae Hevea. It’s a French company that makes natural rubber soles.)

But I ordered these shoes in December 2019. So, these shoes don’t count on my new Year resolution. I still have 3 pairs of Italian shoes to buy this year.

Anyway, why don’t Americans make shoes like these? I have two pairs of Allen Edmonds, but…mm~~ They don’t sing my name.

Costco Delivers Valentine’s Day Flowers

2nd Costco Shopping in 2020 – $53.62 today / $267.49 this year

Costco sells Valentine’s Day flowers, mostly roses, with free delivery. A typical arrangement contains 50 roses, and it will cost you about $54 after tax. I believe this is an excellent price. Visit Costco for all Valentine’s Day floral arrangements. Below are a few key points.

  • Because of the large volume of Valentine’s Day floral orders, your order will deliver on or one day before your preferred arrival date.
  • For Valentine’s Day flower delivery, you must order before February 11, 11 AM PST. I guess that February 14 delivery option may max out soon. I recommend you order as soon as possible if you want Valentine’s Day delivery.
  • You will choose your arrival date when you check out.
  • Shipping is free. Tax will be added.

Dozen Roses at Costco (in the past)

Costco usually sells roses on Valentine’s Day.

Costco Shopping – January 3, 2020

1st Costco Shopping in 2020 – $213.87 today / $213.87 this year

Sardines (#180973) were not on my shopping list. Canned sardines are usually gross. But I never tried sardines from Costco before, and they were on sale, so I gave it a try. To my pleasant surprise, they were enjoyable. They are skinless and boneless. Maybe I will buy them again if I see them on sale.

Snapdragon’s Vietnamese Pho is relatively new at Costco. They are bad for you, but also so tasty. I bought 2 boxes (18 bowls total). I will try not to eat them too often. They were also on sale. ($3 off each box).

All supplements were on sale.
