* 13th Costco Shopping this year, 2nd time this month.
I went to Costco with a friend.
My receipt shows $108.79, but we went half and half on some items.
Coupons saved $21.00
I like Laughing Cow cheese. It was my first time tasting Laughing Cow Cheese (thanks for the $2.00 coupon).
My Friend:
My friend is an elementary school teacher trying to lose weight. That’s why you see 100 calories snack bars & some silly candies. She bought some cat food.

First time in my life I bought flowers to decorate my place.
That’s my dining table. I hate to replace the table. I love my apartment. I enjoy living here a lot. But I don’t feel the need to spend money on this apartment. (update 2021 – I was saving to buy a house)

The shrimp cocktail was for my guest.
I am happy with Papua New Guinea coffee from Kirkland Signature. This 3lb bag was only $13.89. This coffee is milder than Starbucks’ French roast. I can smell a hint of “Earth” on this coffee. The beans are shiny with a fresh coat of oil.
I was sick a few weeks ago, so I was out of DayQuil.
I’m still doing good with money.
When in doubt, buy Costco.
I bought 2.25lb Jarlsberg cheese at Costco. After the $2.50 coupon, the final price was $7.60.
Then I went to xxxx supermarket and found the same cheese. It was $7.53 for 0.58lb.
So, at Costco, with the same amount of money, I got 4 times more cheese.
2.25lb of cheese comes out to be $29.23 at the Supermarket. But I only paid $7.60 at Costco. This is ridiculous (in a good way).
Things like this remind me why I love Costco.
Unit price $4.49/lb at Costco
Unit Price $12.99/lb at a Supermarket

Took place on Saturday, March 27, 2010
I just finished an engagement photography job and was on my way back home. The Sun was setting in front of me. I was minding my own business. Just driving…
Then one slow-moving BMW cut me off and cleaned his windshield with soapy water. His fluid hit my windshield. That got me so angry.
I’ve been driving for 20+ years and I have a perfect driving record.
All my life, when somebody washes windshield in front of me, I would always cut him off and give him the same treatment. Now that rich booger in BMW was going to get it. I was ready to pay him back. I took my time and waited for the right moment. The traffic was heavy.
I followed him for about 4-5 minutes, and I got the perfect setting for me to cut him off and give him the squirt of justice.
I changed into the fast lane and started to pass him.
Then I took a look at the driver.
The driver was a young dude.
He looked miserable. He was struggling because the setting sun was on his face. The poor guy cleaned his windshield, hoping that will fix the glare.
At that moment, I felt ashamed that I thought about paying back to this guy.
Using a windshield wiper while driving is an annoying act. But people who do that are clueless, just like my parents. All they think about is, “Oh my God, I cannot see anything. I don’t want to die.”
I believe my days of “payback” are over. I’m getting old.
I hope the rich booger in the BMW reached his destination OK.
