This is official. Cubita coffee is far better than Starbucks French Roast. This is my personal opinion, so do not trust me 100% or get angry at me. But I cannot drink Starbucks anymore. It’s that good. Honestly.

As far as I’m concern, I will no longer purchase Starbucks French Roast. I have finally found a replacement for Starbucks French Roast. Unfortunately, I’ll have to spend more money. For that, I learned to make less coffee. I used to make 2.5 cups of coffee every day. Now I make 2 cups of coffee every day.

I’ve been searching for the coffee that will replace Starbucks for a few years.

One of my visitors informed me about Ruta Maya® Organic Cubita® Coffee. You can only buy them from the Costco website, not at the warehouse. Amazon also sells them, but they are very expensive there.

This coffee is excellent.  It’s strong and smooth (not bitter). Starbucks French Roast is bitter.

I bought a Cuisinart coffee grinder on December 17, 2009, at Costco. It had an 18-month manufacturer warranty, and it stopped working after 16 months of use. So, I printed out my Costco receipt and took it back to Costco. This was a little awkward. But I didn’t get my 18 months of use out of it. It was a principal of it.

I went to Costco on my lunch break and got a refund. I looked for a new coffee grinder but didn’t see any. Now I only have 2 coffee grinders at home.

I like my new iPod Touch, but the picture quality is horrible. 

What you don’t see in the picture is Shoe Rack & Vitamins.

SPAM will probably last over 1 year.

I bought precooked Bacon. They are pretty good. I will buy them again. But, sometimes, I like my bacon extra greasy with plenty of fat.

Coupons saved $30.50. But I still spent $181.37.

I had a hot-dog and a half slice of pizza before shopping.

I had a good time.

I received a $215.34 rebate check from American Express (Costco).

I am going to put the entire amount into a savings account, as I promised myself.

Compare to my last year’s check ($170.63) I received $44.61 more this year.

But I am not too happy about this. I have a problem with this big check.

Every year, I promise myself that I would spend less money. But my rebate check shows I spent more money last year.

I am a grown man who doesn’t own a house. I really need to get my priority straight and spend less. I must try harder.

A lot of apples, 5 dozen eggs, a rotisserie chicken, and a bag of tortilla chips.

I used my $40.32 reward check and received $5.78 back.

Boring.. And I want to keep it this way.
