Garage Sale – May 11, 2019

I spent $2 today at garage sales. My house smells like fresh cotton now (melting a tart in the picture).

I didn’t need this coffee mug. I didn’t need another cookbook. But, for ¢50 each, I will get a lot of joy out of it. So, it’s worth it. And I have some friends who would love to take these from me after I’m done.

Talk to you soon.

Update (December 3, 2020) – A year and a half later, I use this coffee mug every day as I work from home (Pandemic 2020). I haven’t made a single soup from that cookbook.

Sunday Morning Costco Shopping

18th Costco shopping in 2019 – $36.30 (today) / $1297.47 (this year)

Sunday morning Costco Shopping is special to me. It gives me different feelings compared to my usual Costco shopping at night after a full day of work. For Sunday morning I set the alarm, get up, and get ready just for Costco shopping. I feel positive and motivated when I’m out early Sunday morning. It’s interesting to see the world at this time of the week.

I started a load of white laundry before hitting the road.

I came home and started my usual Sunday morning routine. My coffee came out perfect. I ironed a few shirts as I enjoyed a cup. It’s a glorious Sunday morning.

New Dishwasher

Be happy for me. I used a dishwasher for the first time in my life. OMG, my dishes were so hot. I didn’t know they get this hot. It was steaming inside…. with steam!

I ordered a Maytag dishwasher on February 28, 2019, from Costco at a crazy low price of $569.99. Costco’s $200 discount was a real deal. This exact model was/is being sold for $760 and up. This purchase paid for my executive Costco membership for a few years. I had to wait 7 weeks for delivery. Costco gave me a number of chances to cancel my order or get an alternate unit. But I waited for the dishwasher that I originally set my heart on. I finally got it delivered on Wednesday, April 17, 2019.

I had absolutely no problem with the delivery company, BJ Hunt. I don’t understand such low customer ratings that I see online. I got my house ready for them. I unhooked the old dishwasher and emptied space below the kitchen sink before they arrived at my house. They were in and out in about 30 minutes (maybe less).

My dishwasher is beautiful.

Anyway… that’s a good-looking dishwasher. It’s a satisfying feeling.

GoFloats Raffle – Giant Pool Floats

The raffle has ended. The winner, Sara, was notified. And she confirmed.

If I had a swimming pool, I would enjoy Summer a lot more. It will be amazing to lie on a float, drink soda, and take a nap. Imagine that… just like movies. And kids… Kids would love these. I wanted to review these floats by GoFloats. But I don’t have a pool. So, GoFloats will raffle these out to a lucky winner. Happy Summer!


GoFloats Giant Pool Floats are in stock at Costco (#100478438). They are selling fast. They sold out once already. They quickly re-stocked.

I’ve been enjoying Hoody’s unsalted roasted peanuts lately. Maybe there is a right season for them? I don’t know. But sometimes these peanuts are not very good. But lately, they are amazingly good. They are meaty and tasty.

Costco Shopping – March 1, 2019

10th Costco shopping in 2019 – $10.94 (today) / $1011.22 (this year)

Costco coupon was about to expire. I wanted to buy dishwasher detergent while it was still on sale. So, I made a quick stop at Costco on my lunchtime – then I saw Kirkland Signature dishwasher detergent at a better deal, with no discount. Naturally, I bought the Kirkland Signature brand.

With this, I pay less than 10 Cents on detergent every wash. That’s not bad.
