BelGioioso’s Fresh Mozzarella cheese was enjoyable. Check out the big plate. I seasoned it with salt, pepper, & olive oil (all Kirkland Signature brand). I shall make it one more time. I have one more pack left. Costco sells 2 packs of 16 oz cheese for $7.29. I bought it when there was a $2.30 instant savings on it. So, I paid $4.99 for 2 packs.  FYI: Walmart sells them at $5.78 each. So Costco has the best price by a huge margine.

My Mozzarella cheese salad was very good. My friend loved it. It was such a good relaxing time.

Basil costed more than the cheese. I thought that was ridiculous. I shall grow my one basil. I still have basil seeds from 7 years ago. I wonder if they are any good. Does anyone remember that blog? I had so much fun back then. I was excited about buying a packet of basil seeds and a little pot. Sometimes I worry that magic is fading away.

27th Costco shopping in 2018 – $73.00 (today) / $1603.92 (this year)

I need to stop buying pants. But these looked nice.

I didn’t buy anything special except for the sliced fresh mozzarella cheese. I bought it because of the tiny picture on top of the packaging (see below). It was weird. When I saw that picture… I don’t know… I had to buy it so I can make that plate myself. I guess I was hungry. I was there at 8 pm after work – I had a long day.

26th Costco shopping in 2018 – $26.47 (today) / $1530.92 (this year)

Sunday morning is my favorite time of the week. I like to start Sunday morning with a load of white laundry. The sound and smell of laundry (bleach) make my house feel cozy and homey. It’s fun to iron a few shirts and pants, too.

I also enjoy Sunday morning Costco shopping once in a while, especially when I need a car wash. My goal is to come back home before noon, so I can start my laundry.

First, I did a car wash. Then I pulled up to a far empty corner of the parking lot to wipe down my car. There were already several folks doing the same thing… quietly wiping down their cars on Sunday morning.

I bought a bag of power greens and a rotisserie chicken. A can of peanuts was an impulse buy.

Back at my car, at the parking lot, I saw a tiny lady loading her car. I asked her if she wanted hands with her 40 pack of drinking water. “Yes, yes, please…” she said. I put my stuff in my car and went to the food court.

I set in the shade and took my time enjoying a hot dog. I came back home before noon and started my laundry.

I love Sunday morning. Costco shopping was glorious.

What you don’t see is 2 Take and Bake Pizzas at the bottom of the cart. These are for air conditioner installation guys. There will be 4 people working in my house for 2 days. I will give them good food so they will do a good job. There will be donuts, cold water/soda, burgers, etc…

24th Costco shopping in 2018 – $255.93 (today) / $1451.02 (this year)

Nest is a smart home thermostat that can communicate with a smartphone. I am about to put in a new central air conditioner (3-ton unit) at my house. I will also replace the existing old heater and duct system. This is a huge purchase (mucho dinero). This is exciting. I am taking 2 days off from work to oversee the installation process.

I didn’t get my air conditioner from Costco. I didn’t consider Costco as a possibility because there is no such thing as Costco HVAC† Center. We have Costco Tire Center and Costco Optical Center. But, when it comes to HVAC†, we only have a third-party salesperson standing by the exit.
