1st Costco shopping in 2018 – $87.27 (today) / $87.27 (this year)

I intrigued by Ocusight. It’s a eye/vision care supplement by Costco. My eyes are not too bad, but it’s been bothering me a little (detail skipped). I will keep you updated on my experience. 

Turkey Jerky is a treat for me for the weekend. Salad is for my lunch at work. The Box of chips should last about 6 months. I buy them because they are tasty AND they were on sale. I should not buy any more of these chips, because I want to live healthy and long. What’s the point of buying expensive vitamins when I keep eating bad food.

Instant coupons saved $17.70

That’s about it, boring… (Ah, forgot to buy minced garlic)

I cannot believe Christmas is over. Now I have nothing but work… working forever.

Check this out – Al Pastor Salad at Costco food court. Let me know if you tried it before. Did you like it? The only reason I didn’t try Al Pastor Salad is because of its high sodium content. My doctor said I need to watch sodium intake. I guess I can completely skip the dressing, but…

So… anyway… I will not eat it, you eat it and let me know. Haha..

What we know so far.

  • It’s not vegan – The dressing contains eggs. You may eat without dressing.
  • It has 3270 mg of sodium and 59 mg of fat
    • That’s a lot of salt.
    • FDA recommended daily sodium intake is less than 2300 mg

Nutritional facts can be found here.

It’s $4.99.  The sign says…

  • Plant-based protein (soy)
  • Chopped romaine
  • Black beans and fresh vegetables
  • Banh mi vegetables and dressing
  • 330 – 750 cal.

It says 330 – 750 cal. If I make an educated guess, that means the dressing is 420 Calories and the salad alone is 330 Calories. Which I am not surprised about. It’s always dressings and tartar sauce that will do you in. Do not eat all the dressing,

PureGuardian Humidifier, 2-pack

I suffer from dry skin every winter. I try to use lotion whenever I can to relieve my itchy skin.

So, this time I will try a humidifier. Perhaps humidifiers will solve my dry skin problem. Costco has these 2 pack humidifiers from PureGuardian. There was a $15 discount at the time of my purchase, so I paid $64.99 plus tax.  $32.50 each is the best price anywhere. 

I put one humidifier in the kitchen and the other one in my master bedroom. I had them for a few days now. And my dry skin condition had completely disappeared since then. But I am not sure if I am seeing the benefit of humidifiers or if there had been changes in the weather.

I shall give it time and see. I will update you.

I have the ham now.

I opened the red wrapper to make sure the ham is being well kept in vacuum packaging.

Beef jerky is for the guys at the mail annex at my work. I put a ribbon on top and gave it to them as a Christmas gift.

Merry Christmas. Enjoy.

I went to Costco for Eneloop batteries ($19.99 after $10 instant savings). It was a quick in and out shopping. As I was taking a brisk walk to the batteries, I passed by 2 sample stations. Look what they gave me. That’s a lot of candies. I was so happy.

Christmas is a few weeks away, and Costco is already taking down Christmas items as usual. I noticed all the big items, such as the big snowman, were gone.

I wish to enjoy the holiday season before it’s over. I would like to get out and fight traffic, mix with crazy shoppers, and stop for pumpkin spice coffee. I shall enjoy this magic moment.

Keep checking for holiday savings

I am enjoying special holiday savings at Costco. I am keeping fining some good stuff this year. It’s been fun so far.

This hooded sweatshirt is very fancy for how much you pay ($15.99 after $4 off). It’s high quality. They are by Buffalo David Bitton. I guess it’s somewhat of a fashion brand.

These jackets will hug your body. They are for fit people.

I also bought 3 pairs of Buffalo brand jeans with $15 total savings.

They have some good holiday stuff this year.

Snail in Spinach. EW~!!!
