Costco Shopping May 30, 2018

32nd Costco shopping in 2018 – $29.03 (today) / $1765.55 (this year)

A jar of Jelly Belly ($13.99, Item #12173) was for yet another coworker of mine. She has a Jelly Bean dispenser on top of her desk. People from neighboring departments would visit her, say hi, and take some Jelly Beans. It was her signature routine for some time. Then she ran out of her Beans. A few weeks had gone by. No jelly, no beans…  She even put away her dispenser.

So, I put this Jar of Costco Jelly Beans on her desk when nobody was around. Her entire department couldn’t figure out who brought Jelly Beans.

Jelly Bean dispenser is back on her desk now.

Kirkland Signature Balsamic Vinegar’s built-in pour spout

Kirkland Signature’s Balsamic Vinegar is well known for its superior quality and fine taste. I use it often at work for my lunch salad. It’s the best salad dressing I know of. It’s tasty and healthy.

Now, Kirkland Signature’s Balsamic Vinegar comes with a built-in pour spout. This brilliant little mechanism is absolutely useful. It eliminates the need for a separate bottle and spout. I can now use my Costco Balsamic Vinegar straight from the original bottle. The spout functions perfectly, much better than generic spouts at most restaurants. This is a great idea, and I am truly enjoying it.

I shot a quick video below. Check it out.

Costco Shopping May 24, 2018

31st Costco shopping in 2018 – $111.45 (today) / $1736.52 (this year)

Coupon saved $26.60. I bought a lot of stuff; it was fun, but I didn’t buy anything special.

The mixed vegetable will last a few months. Frozen salmons will last about a year. Garlic Chicken will come in handy at a random time.

The Box of Cheez-it (bottom of the cart) was for my coworker. The next day, I put the box at my coworker’s office when there was nobody in there. They were surprised, but they knew it was me who put it there. There was no question about it. Because the rest of the guys on this side of the building are pr*cks. I was the only person who would do such a thing.

BelGioioso Fresh Mozzarella Cheese at Costco

BelGioioso’s Fresh Mozzarella cheese was enjoyable. Check out the big plate. I seasoned it with salt, pepper, & olive oil (all Kirkland Signature brand). I shall make it one more time. I have one more pack left. Costco sells 2 packs of 16 oz cheese for $7.29. I bought it when there was a $2.30 instant savings on it. So, I paid $4.99 for 2 packs.  FYI: Walmart sells them at $5.78 each. So Costco has the best price by a huge margine.

My Mozzarella cheese salad was very good. My friend loved it. It was such a good relaxing time.

Basil costed more than the cheese. I thought that was ridiculous. I shall grow my one basil. I still have basil seeds from 7 years ago. I wonder if they are any good. Does anyone remember that blog? I had so much fun back then. I was excited about buying a packet of basil seeds and a little pot. Sometimes I worry that magic is fading away.

Costco Shopping – May 9, 2018

27th Costco shopping in 2018 – $73.00 (today) / $1603.92 (this year)

I need to stop buying pants. But these looked nice.

I didn’t buy anything special except for the sliced fresh mozzarella cheese. I bought it because of the tiny picture on top of the packaging (see below). It was weird. When I saw that picture… I don’t know… I had to buy it so I can make that plate myself. I guess I was hungry. I was there at 8 pm after work – I had a long day.
