| Costco Product Review, Food, Household, Pet

February 1, 2015 – after 2 weeks of use.

  • This kitchen faucet by Water Ridge is good for what you pay ($78.99). The pull-out feature & spray features function OK. Installation was easy. It works for me, but this is not for rich people.
  • Money to value score: 91%
  • Satisfaction score: 89%
  • Regret score: 0%
  • Complaints: (The faucet is good overall. I’m just being picky).
    • The faucet feels lighter than it should. It doesn’t feel solid, heavy, and expensive. You may even say it feels (somewhat) flimsy.
    • It lacks precision in water flow control. Control is OK/good, but not great. I bet expensive faucets provide better control (precision).
    • I cannot use the spray at low flow.
    • It comes with 1 sinkhole cover. But, I can see many people would need the second sinkhole cover.
  • Rich men score: I would buy a better faucet if I made $250K / year
  • I don’t understand the bad reviews – maybe I have a low standard? Or maybe I need to give it more time? we’ll have to wait and see. So far, I am happy with it. My kitchen looks better. I enjoy my time in the kitchen more.

I bought this jar of tulips two weeks ago for my mother. It was $11.99 at Costco. I normally see my parents every weekend. But my parents have been busy the last 2 weekends. Tulips are now in full bloom. So, I took pictures of them and emailed them to my mother.

My mother enjoyed the images I sent her.

I set it on the chair by the window so it will get some Sunlight. I bought that chair last week for $5 at a garage sale.

Photography: I am still enjoying my Canon PowerShot S120.

That garden watering kit seemed pricy ($21.49). But I wanted to treat myself with some fancy gardening tool. I water my plants every day. So, $21, 49 is a small price for convenience and fun I may have.

Spring is coming. I planted 1 lemon tree in the front yard.

I replaced the kitchen faucet.

After Costco shopping yesterday, I had a phone conversation with a friend. I told her I bought a nice kitchen faucet at Costco. And, get this, she asked me how much it would cost me to install it. I was a little offended. She completely dismissed my mechanical common sense. I am not clueless. I build my computers from scratch. So, I told her that there should be no problem for me to install the faucet. I have never replaced a kitchen faucet before, but how hard can it be?

So, today, I installed the kitchen faucet.

I’ve been checking out this kitchen faucet for a while. Kitchen faucets have a wide range of prices. At Home Depot, I saw kitchen faucets ranging from $40 to $200+. I bought this faucet with blind faith. This has to be a good deal. It looks pretty good. The difficult part is that I have to install it. This WaterRidge faucet was $78.99.

I like the Kashi granola bar. It’s tasty. I bought 2 more boxes. Everyone should keep granola bars at work. I often get hungry at work. I didn’t research, but my guess is that granola bars are better than Sneaker bars. 

Six Calla lily bulbs were $11.99. This is a great price. Costco will have flower bulbs that will perform in your climate (zone). And they will be available for you at the right time to plant them. This is a great benefit of shopping at Costco. It takes away the guessing game.

A glass pot of live tulips is for my mother.
