Today marks the landmark event. I bought a meat item at Costco for the first time. I was always afraid(?) to buy meat at Costco because Costco meat was too fancy for me.
I’ve been buying meat from local supermarkets only when they had special sales. Today, I had a huge craving for some stew. I couldn’t wait for stew meat on sale… so I thought, ‘Why not buy from Costco?’
If you have issues with your reward certificate, I recommend you to ask Citi Visa directly via the website. Use their Live Chat. Let us know how it went. Good luck.
I just received a Costco City Visa reward certificate amount of $358.14 in the email. I recently switched my monthly statements to paperless. This is the first time receiving an email certificate.
I guess they will send paper copies of the certificates to those who receive paper statements.
Again – You may receive your certificate on your own schedule. I receive them, usually in February.
On January 27, 2019, the price of USPS’ first class (also forever) stamp went up 5 Cents to 55 Cents each. Now, a roll of 100 stamps will cost you $5 more.
Don’t feel bummed out if you heard the news too late. You still have a chance to buy 100 forever stamps at the old price of $49.75 at Costco. You have until February 17, 2019.
After February 17, 2019, you will pay $5 more.
USPS Postage stamps price increases effective Jan 27, 2019.
Don’t delay, purchase at current member prices in Costco locations through Feb 17, 2019.
I get a craving for pizza once in a while. I would like to enjoy pizza late Saturday night, or when I’m home alone feeling cozy. But, I live alone, so I need a little planning to enjoy pizza.
Pizza is family-oriented food. Going to a pizza restaurant alone is not only depressing, but it’s too expensive. I don’t want to have a pizza delivered to my house and ended up with a massive amount of leftover. That’s also too expensive. In both cases, just a tip alone will buy me 2-3 slices of Costco pizza.
So, this is what I do. I buy Costco’s Take and Bake pizza, slice them up, and freeze them. They last many months in the freezer. I enjoy pizza whenever I have a craving for it, and they will cost me $1.50 each slice. I can top it off with whatever I want. Since I enjoy my kitchen, baking pizza when I’m home alone is an absolute joy. It’s the most economical way for a single person to enjoy a good pizza.
Preparing Costco pizza for the long term, single serving, storage
** Costco’s take and bake pepperoni pizza has 36 slices of pepperoni
I broke my pizza cutter and I may never buy another pizza cutter again. I cut pizza maybe once a year. And there are plenty of people, including professionals, using kitchen shears to cut pizza.

Chips, sala, and Aidells meatballs are for Super Bowl Sunday. I don’t follow football. Especially after football became too political, I refuse to watch it. I don’t know a single artist who will perform at the half-time show. They are talented people; I am pretty sure. I just don’t care to know them. I am old. Just let me be.
And.. Holy cow! I didn’t know Los Angeles had a football team… 2 of them.
To me, Super Bowl Sunday is just an excuse to eat a lot of food and pretend.
I put the bag of spinach in the freezer as soon as I take it home. This way, spinach will last fresh for a long time. I use it to make Vitamix juice. I can also cook with it. But, you cannot use it for salad.
