I like this fuzzy shirt. It’s cozy and warm. Actually, it’s a little too warm that I can only wear it when it’s very cold outside. It was only $11.99 with $3 Holiday Savings. The price will go up to $14.99 after November 16th. But $15 is still a super value. I am thinking about getting one more.

Last few weeks, I bought a few more Winter items at Costco. Winter (trail) boots were $23.99 after instant savings of $6. Insulated gloves were $16.99.

The boots are too cheap for my standard, and they smell of rubber (very little). But, It was $23.99, and they have leather tops. It’s a pretty good price for what they are. So, I bought a pair just to keep it. I may need them once or twice a year, but when I do, they will save my day. Because I didn’t have a single pair of Winter shoes (hiking boots).

Costco out of multi grain bread

* This blog was originally written in May 2008. The blog came back to life recently (September 2017) because of the recent outage of the bread. If history repeats itself, the bread will come back to your location. Maybe it has something to do with recent weather events we’ve experienced. We shall see.

Costco is out of Kirkland Signature Multi-grain Bread. This is my favorite bread. 

Not all “whole-grain breads” are created equal. You can have a pinch of whole grain in a loaf of bread and call it “Whole Grain Bread”. Kirkland Signature’s bread is 100% whole grain.

Forget All-Bran Cereal’s 10-day challenge (video below). A couple of slices of this bread will make you regular.

The bread was not available on May 5, 2008. One of the Costco employees said something about the grain supply that we may not have Kirkland Bread for few weeks.

It’s Christmas time at Costco.

You can complain about the early Christmas display. You can talk about capitalism and lost meanings… “It’s too early” “It’s stupid”

Or you can enjoy the view and feel stupidly happy about it.

First, SPAM was $4 off. SPAM~!!! They have 25% less sodium, so I can eat twice as much. Yum~!

5-HTP is supposed to balance my mood. So, I thought, I give it a chance.

I have a female coworker who can use 5-HTP. But there isn’t a friendly way to give it to her. “Hey, great news. These pills may stop you from being a beyotch”

For Labor Day weekend treat, I bought pork jerky and baby back ribs.

Roca candies are for one of my co-workers. Her last name is Roca. So, I will give it to her for fun. People love me at work because I do things like that.

I bought staple items such as toilet papers, shaving gels, scrub sponges, jumbo shrimps,…

I spent $183.99 and saved $39.00 with instant coupons.

I saw Lionel’s Polar Express train set at an amazing price (under $60). These train sets sell for $90 – $170 elsewhere. I love Polar Express. Watching Polar Express is my Christmas ritual. These trains will sell out quickly. Maybe I will buy one.

If you can’t find the train at your local Costco location, you can buy (possibly) the same item from Amazon. I do not guarantee they will be the same item.

I enjoy looking for the first sign of Christmas at Costco. It usually starts with these ribbons in late July. The ribbons came back this year as usual. These don’t scream Christmas~!. But they will do.
