Christmas time is here at Costco. I am happy and excited.
My new job is much less stressful, so I will have time to enjoy this holiday season. I will not spend a lot of money this year. There will be no Christmas tree. I am carefully saving money for next Christmas (2014). I plan to buy a car with whatever cash I saved.
Have fun. Don’t complain that it’s too early for Christmas. Don’t be that person who complains, but be the person who enjoys Christmas in August.
I bought one more coffee grinder. (picture below) One on the left is the new one. I need 4 coffee grinders for 4 coffee flavors I enjoy.
Peet’s Coffee made an appearance at my Costco warehouse. It’s Major Dickason’s Blend. This is one of my favorite coffees and much better than Starbucks Coffee. I like McDonald’s and Wendy’s coffee better than Starbucks Coffee. Starbucks Coffee is too acidic… bitter.
And I bought some snacks and quick dinner items.
* Update: A few days later at work, I visited my co-workers’ office. I had my coffee mug with me. I was sitting about 10 feet away from them (2 guys). We were talking about STD and pregnancy (guy talk). One of them interrupted our conversation and said, “Your coffee smells good.” “It’s Peet’s” I smiled.
Update 2021 – Pete’s coffee is my only coffee now. No more expensive coffee for me. And no more espresso. I drink flavored coffee sometimes.
I went to Costco after work to pick up a chicken for dinner.
I bought a globe for people I know. They recently started to take trips all over the world.
I bought another blanket as a backup.
It’s official, this answers our question.
(officially) We do not have to clip coupons anymore. You can just show your coupon books without clipping them. Additionally, you don’t have to have a coupon book with you. If you have a smartphone, you can show coupons from your mobile app. Your cashier will honor the coupon you show on your mobile app.
* I will not be surprised if a lot of Costco warehouses apply coupon discounts to every shopper automatically, without asking for coupons.
Until this point, officially, we were supposed to clip coupons.

*Notice the below image. It says “New! No more clipping coupons!” With this, we are officially not required to clip coupons. A lot of people haven’t clipped coupons already. Gray area is finally cleared with this announcement.
I really like this queen-size fuzzy (microfiber) blanket by Calvin Klein. I have 4 fuzzy (microfiber) blankets, but they don’t cover my entire body. So, during the cold season, I use 2 blankets when I watch TV in the living room. It’s about time they have a bigger size blanket. I may buy one more as a backup.
It was a quick shopping. I also bought gas and ate a slice of pizza.
Halloween LED candles were $14.99.
