Another early morning Costco shopping on Saturday.
I didn’t find anything to buy. I Just picked up a pizza. Super cheap with $3.00 off.
FYI: Costco Gas station opens 6 am Mon-Sat and 7 am on Sunday.
I bought 4 more T-Shirts. Bought some seasoned sea-weeds, a book about local history, etc..
Today’s highlight was 14 Inch bamboo bowls by Island Bamboo. These bowls are beautiful. There were different colors such as red and green. I liked the natural bamboo color. I thought $24.99 was a crazy low price. So, I got one. This bowl will occasionally come in handy.
Right after Costco shopping, I went to a local farmers’ market. I found a bamboo bowl there. With my naked eyes, that bowl looked identical to what I just bought from Costco, no kidding…identical to my eyes. He wanted $75.00 for just a bowl (no utensils included).
As soon as I got home, I went online and looked up the 14″ Island Bamboo bowl. I found the same bowls at Amazon for $46.00. They didn’t even include utensils.
And, finally, I went to eBay and found somebody selling this same product for $54.99 (free shipping). I often think about buying stuff at Costco and selling them at eBay. I guess many people are doing just that.
Sorry, I’m very slow with my blog. I am really busy. I think about my blog, but I just don’t have time.
Here’s a picture from my Costco shopping – May 17, 2013. After Costco, I went to ROSS.
Maybe I should blog about ROSS shopping. I always go to ROSS after Costco. And I always find something there. I take my time and look at a lot of stuff.
As much as I love Costco, there are ROSS, Bed Bath and Beyond, Cost Plus World Market, Pier 1 Imports, Tuesday Morning, and other fun stores that I enjoy. And I enjoy Wal*mart as well – I don’t care some people look down upon Wal*mart. It is a fun store. I like Walmart.
Again, I am sorry that I am slow with my blog. I think my schedule will get back to normal in mid-June.
Talk to you later.
I bought a Little Giant Ladder from Costco for $179.99. I didn’t bother to compare the price at that time. It was my educated guess it was the best price in town. I did a price check after I brought it home, just to make sure and to make me feel good.
The exact model name is – Model 17, Type 1A
On their official website, they sell these for $259.99 with free tax and shipping
Amazon sells them for $249.99 plus tax and shipping
Costco sells them for $179.99 with free shipping (if you want them shipped). I bought mine at my local Costco warehouse. The ladder will fit in the back seat of normal 4 door sedans.
This is an incredible deal at $55 savings. One purchase of Little Giant ladder pays for Costco membership. And there is no shipping hassle. Honestly, I don’t know why some people don’t have a Costco membership.
I found a set of Adolfo suits (Pants and Jacket) that’s just my size, that I don’t need any kind of alteration. And I bought one extra jacket as a staple item (to wear over jeans & etc).
Nothing special. I’m trying to eat well.
Nobody told me about the toaster oven. I thought the microwave oven was all there was. To test my new toaster oven, I brought home a slice of Costco pizza. The pizza was amazing from this oven. I am learning and getting better at living alone.
