Costco Shopping – August 31, 2018

42nd Costco shopping in 2018 – $31.70 (today) / $2841.61 (this year)

I bought St Louis Style Ribs to celebrate Labor Day. The ribs were just OK. I used a baking pan that’s about 1/2 inch high. You don’t have to use 2 Inches deep pan.  I don’t know why it asks for 2 inches high – it scares people who don’t know how to cook.

 

First Hint of Christmas at Costco, 2018

I was a little disappointed that these ribbons didn’t scream “CHRISTMAS”

Ribbons were at Costco on August 1st, 2018, just as I expected. But they didn’t have any obvious Christmas designs such as snowflakes or Santa. Still, these ribbons are hinting at us to get ready for Christmas.

Costco Shopping – July 27, 2018

35th Costco shopping in 2018 – $41.68 (today) / $2708.52 (this year)

I looked everywhere, but I didn’t see any sign of Christmas at Costco today. But Christmas is coming to Costco soon.

I really like Kirkland Signature Basil Pesto, so I bought one more jar while it was still on sale. They freeze well. I guess they will last well over a year in the freezer. If you take it out of the freezer, they quickly become soft that you can scoop it out while the pasta is getting ready.

I shall always keep this Basil Pesto and pasta at home. I need to grow basil.

I bought Jose’s Chocolate Raspberry coffee to get ready for Christmas. I will enjoy this coffee on Thanksgiving day when I bake a turkey, and when I watch Polar Express on Christmas Eve.

2 dozen roses were $13.99.
