Happy Valentine’s Day – Costco to Rescue

Happy Valentine’s Day.

I understand many people hate Valentine’s day because it’s just another commercialized day that society created for us to spend money.

I used to hate all holidays for that very reason.

Then I got older.. and I started to appreciate all commercially promoted holidays such as Valentine’s Day and Christmas. I now enjoy looking up at the sky and feel the season changing. As I get older, I feel more sentimental over a lot of things.

I went to Costco a day before Valentine’s Day. I had a blind faith that Costco must have the roses. They had a bunch of dozen roses for sale. They were $15.99 each (dozen). I also bought a simple card from the 99 Cents only store and wrote a short message. I spent less than $20 on everything.

Valentine’s day is just another stupid tradition. You can live your life either enjoying this stupid tradition or feel grumpy about it.

As always, God bless single people.

Costco Executive Membership (2%) Rebate Check

This is my Costco executive card 2% rebate check this year. 
$104.99 means I spent $5,249.50 at Costco last year.

Basic membership is $55.00/year
Executive membership is $110/year.

So, I need to receive a $55.00 rebate check to cover my executive membership fee. With this rebate check, I am getting paid $49.99 to be an executive member.

But this is not the only check I will receive this year. There is Costco/AmEx back check coming up. I will receive about $270.00 there.

Costco Shopping – January 8, 2014

Happy new year~!

This was my first Costco shopping in 2014.

2014 – I can’t believe I started this website 6 years ago. Will I be doing this 6 years from now?

I had a bunch of staple items to buy. Coupon saved $26.00.

I stock up on chicken soup for when I catch a cold. I truly believe in the power of chicken soup. I need V8 juice for busy mornings when I don’t have time to make Vitamix juice.

I didn’t buy anything fancy. It is my new year’s resolution to save money. With my new year’s resolution, I still spent $124.61. I think I’m doing OK as long as nothing goes to trash.

Happy new year. I will keep in touch.
