Costco Shopping – August 22, 2010
Thank you for visiting.

I was looking forward to today’s Costco shopping. 
I was hoping to find black jeans & black sneakers.

Costco Pants:

I look the best in 31 waist pants, but Costco doesn’t carry 31″ waist pants. Costco rarely has 31″. They always have sizes 30 & 32 Inch waist. They usually skip on 31″ waist.

I have several blue jeans in size 30 waist. I can only fit into them when I am really good with diet & exercise. I need bigger jeans.

Today, I bought a pair of Calvin Klein blue jeans with a 32-inch waist. But they were too big. I will take them back.

I couldn’t find black jeans & black sneakers. I may have to go elsewhere for clothes.

Chocolate Cake:

I didn’t have chocolate cake for the longest time. I couldn’t fight the urge today, so I bought one. I plan to freeze half and enjoy it slowly.


What you don’t see in the picture: Chocolate cake, 5 dozen eggs, extra sharp cheddar cheese, ravioli, cilantro lime shrimps.

I spent $124.35. The coupon saved $12.00.
Then I put some gas in my car.

Update 2021 – By now 31-inch pants are completely gone from Costco. And 30-inch waist pants became rare. I guess Americans are getting bigger. Currently, I wear 30-inch waist jeans. I am slimmer than 10 years ago.

Got Costco Executive Membership

I would like to announce that I am now an executive member at Costco.

The lady looked up my account and said, “This membership will pay for itself because you spend so much money here”…

I didn’t get the black membership card. Because I use an American Express card as a membership, there was no need to take pictures &, etc…

The whole process took only several minutes.

They look so strange in blue.

I am very busy.

I got some incredible deals on quality clothes at Costco. Don’t let Costco’s low price confuse you. They are of very fancy quality. You always get good deals on clothes at Costco. 

  • Black Jeans – $12.99 – They are size 32-inch waist (little loose, but OK).
  • Dress shirt – $16,99
  • Black T-Shirts – (4 pack) $12.99 –  Bought 3 (total 12 t-shirts)
    • So, these shirts come out at about $3.25 each.
    • The quality of the shirt “Easily” beats $9+ shirts. They are very good quality.

Then I bought some ingredients to make BBQ pork & bean.

Oh! and a bag of Starbucks Coffee – I couldn’t wait for the coupon

I spent $134.32 total – then I did a car wash and bought gas for my car.

First Sign (hint) of Christmas – Costco July, 24 2010
Thank you for visiting.

This is what I saw today at Costco (July 24, 2010)

They don’t say “Christmas” in writing, but these designs are clearly for Christmas.

There were ribbons with snowflake designs as well.

More coming…

Update: Costco lunch boxes recalled for leaky cold gel packs (Jan 24, 2012)

###

With a $2.00 coupon, this lunch box was only $9.99.

Inside the box, I found a shoulder strap, aluminum water bottle, and a reusable ice pack. The bag is insulated for hot/cold food.

PS. The coupon is now expired. But $11.99 is still a very good price.

PPS. (added July 28, 2010) – It’s been about a month now. I’ve been carrying this lunch box every day to carry stuff around (backup hard drives, camera, notepad, sunglasses, business cards, & more…). I love this lunch box. Even my cool coworker complimented it.
