This is my first Halloween decoration ever.
I went to Wal*mart and bought a $1 jack-o’-lantern bucket.
Inside the bucket, I put a solar-powered lawn light I bought at Costco. So the pumpkin lights up at dusk.
Happy Halloween.
I am very busy. I will keep in touch.
Just one picture… let’s see if anyone can catch on…
Today is Saturday, July 28, 2012. It was 92 degrees outside. I didn’t have anything to buy today at Costco, but I dropped by at Costco to look for any sign of Christmas.
And I found them~!! Look at these Christmas ribbons, they look so cute and happy.
This is my first sign of Christmas 2012 at Costco – In July.
And Halloween item at Costco today.
What you don’t see in this picture is 1 lobster tail ($10.39)
I had a lot of staple items to buy today.
Shaving gels will last about 2 years, maybe more. Toothbrushes will last 18 months. Pancake mix will last about 2 years. Laundry detergent will last a little less than 2 years. Olive oils will last over a year. Dish wash detergent will last about a year.
Coupons and instant rebates saved me $13.75.

I went to Costco on February 3, 2012.
Kirkland Signature Black T-shirts – (4 pack) $15.99
Kirkland Signature’s black t-shirts are back. I bought these T-shirts at my Costco shopping on July 24, 2010. They were $12.99 for 4 packs back then. Now they are $15.99. I’ve been wearing these T-shirts every day at work for the last year and a half. I wanted to buy some more. I was happy to see those black t-shirts.
Butter
I should have bought the butter at a supermarket. That’s a lot of butter. They will last 2-3 years.
I bought a pack of computer papers, Doritos, Coffee, soaps, eggs…
It was a good shopping experience. Good time.
I bought a Vitamix blender (5200) and I feel very positive. Vitamix is a heavy-duty blender that will crush and liquefy the entire fruit (seeds, skin, and all).
There was a Vitamix roadshow yesterday at Costco. I picked up Vitamix model 5200 for $394.99. I am happy with my purchase. I saved $55.00 plus $25.00 shipping.
I wanted a Vitamix blender for some time. I’ve been making juice every weekday for the last 4-5 years. That’s roughly 1200 days of juicing, 2 juices a day, totaling 2400 juices. But all this time there was something that didn’t make sense to me. I throw out a lot of pulp every morning. I thought I should eat the pulp and throw out the juice. My common sense told me that pulp must have more nutritional value than juice.
With Vitamix, there is no pulp to throw out. Pulp will get crushed & get liquefied. So, from this point, I will buy 60%, maybe 75% fewer fruits and vegetables than I used to. I will no longer buy 25 Pound bags of carrots. I figured the machine will pay for itself in 1 year or less. So, if you have a large family and juice every day? Vitamix will save you a lot of money.
But, money aside, I believe Vitamix is much healthier than juice.
Vitamix 5200c Vs 5200
Costco model, 5200c, is the best price you can pay for Vitamix Blender. It has the same powerful motor. It will work just as same as any other Vitamix Blenders. The only difference is that it comes with a smaller container. And it has a different finish on switches.
