7th Costco shopping in 2018 – $28.15 (today) / $231.65 (this year)

What you don’t see is a take and bake pizza at the bottom. I am getting ready for Super Bowl 2018. I bought a bag of chips and salsa. Super Bowl is not the same without pizza, hot wings, chips, and salsa.

Go team~!!

I don’t even know who’s playing in Super Bowl.

5th Costco shopping in 2018 – $32.23 (today) / $181.84 (this year)

As usual, I didn’t buy anything special today. Boring..

I took a passport photo today at Costco. I have no plan to leave the country. I always keep my passport current, just in case.

I didn’t know annual membership for Costco was increased in July 2017.

$120 plus tax is $131.40. In order for executive membership to pay for itself, you need to receive $65.70 on a 2% rebate check (make a qualifying purchase of $3,285.00)

4 years ago I spent $5,249.50 – My executive membership paid for itself and then some.
Last year I spent $2,929.00, and I just received a check for $58.58. This check doesn’t pay for my executive membership. In fact, I lost $7.12. I may have to downgrade my membership.

I spend less money at Costco now. I have everything I want (TV, clothes, Kitchenware..). I don’t have much more to buy at Costco except food items. It is interesting that I shop less at Costco now that I have more money.

3rd Costco shopping in 2018 – $13.12 (today) / $144.15 (this year)

It was a lunchtime Costco shopping.

I ate a hot dog first. Celery and spinach are for Vitamix juice. I bought my Vitamix blender 6 years ago. I still use it twice a day. Chicken BLT salad (2 pack) was for my lunch at work.

Sorry about low-quality pictures. I forgot to bring my camera to Costco.

2nd Costco shopping in 2018 – $43.76 (today) / $131.03 (this year)

I went to Costco today for paper towels, sugar snap peas, minced garlic, and some salad for lunch at work.

Then I found this funky noodles. It’s Long Kow Organic Bean-Vermicelli Noodles. You can do a lot of things with these noodles *IF* you have some basic cooking skills. After soaking them in water, I would mix them with random vegetables, or I can put them in random soup. It’s a fun food product that I can enjoy once in a while.

The noodles are available at the Costco Business Center website

Product detail.

  • Bean-Vermicelli
  • Noodles made from bean starch
  • Organic
  • Vegan, non GMO
  • Gluten free
  • Halal
  • 29.6 oz
