Today was the first day of the August Costco Coupon cycle, so I bought a few items. It was just a quick in and out shopping.

I don’t know if Focus Factor really works. I am afraid to get off of Focus Factor to see if my work performance will suffer. I do computer work at a large company. One error, one-click can cost me hours of troubleshooting time. Focus is very important for my job. I have a coworker who often spends hours trying to troubleshoot his own work. The guy never learns. But I will not tell him about Focus Factor. “Hey, dude, take these, so you don’t suck so bad”…

I don’t remember seeing Costco Nut Bars in the past. They are Kirkland Signature products, so you know they are good. They are not chewy like some other fancy bars. But I like these Nut Bars. They are tasty.  $16.89 for 30 bars is a really good price. There was no coupon for these Nut Bars. But it was a special price. Either these are temporary items (they will sell out) or they will raise the price next round. $16.89 is a good buy. I may buy one more.

I’ve always wanted to try champagne. But I was poor all my life, that I never tasted champagne. So, today I picked up a bottle of Kirkland Signature champagne. It was exciting. On my way out, the checkout guy asked what I was celebrating. “Nothing. It’s my everyday champagne.” I replied with a smile.

I cannot get enough of Chef’s Cut Beef Jerky. It’s really good.

I was excited to see SPAM on sale.

I don’t know why people make fun of SPAM lovers. It’s perfectly fine if you don’t like SPAM. But you don’t have to mock us. None of my female friends, past and present, liked SPAM. But it was more than that. When I told them I liked SPAM, they all made puke-faces and said “Yuck”. But I’m not the one with the eating disorder. SPAM, to me, is a must-have item at my house. I crave SPAM now and then, and I must have some. This 8 pack will last a few years. Girls may come and go, but I will have SPAM. Who needs girls, anyway?

Coupons saved $24.50 today.

Chef’s Cut Beef Jerky was superb. I finished the entire bag in two days. I may buy one more. This was one of the best jerkies I have ever tasted.

I always buy Jarlsberg cheese from Costco whenever there is a coupon. This is an amazing buy.

Toilet papers, glad food containers, shampoo, and conditioners were all on sale. It was a fun and relaxing Costco shopping.

Happy new year

It was my first Costco shopping of 2017. I didn’t buy anything special. Coupons saved $29.40. Protein bars are for work. Apples and green blends are for juicing. I freeze naan bread, which will last about six months. I am not sure if Focus Factor works. But I am afraid to get off it.

Thanksgiving Turkey 2016

This was the 7th straight year I baked Thanksgiving turkey alone. Just like last year, a friend dropped by for a short time. But I was home alone for the most part. I live a stress-free life. I was invited to a couple of places. But I didn’t want to drive 2 hours to see my family. And I didn’t want to go where I could not truly relax. Many people talk about holidays and stress. I have absolutely no stress.

First, I baked the turkey upside down for an hour. Then I flipped the turkey and put it back in the oven. I like this technique. I think it was the best turkey I have ever made. I can’t wait for next Thanksgiving.

Red Lobster biscuits (from Costco) were very good. Turkey, stuffing, organic cranberry sauce, and turkey baking racks were also from Costco.
