* 37th Costco Shopping this year, 5th time this month.

I haven’t worn blue jeans for about 5 years. Now I am trying to bring back that jeans & t-shirt look. 

I went to Costco to get one more pair of Calvin Klein Jeans (blue). And I saw black jeans, also by Calvin Klein.

So, I bought 2 pairs of black jeans as well ($22.79 each). Now I have 5 pairs of new jeans. I think I’m done with shopping for jeans. I better not gain weight. These jeans are tight at a 30-inch waist (a little embarrassing, actually).

I will eat that chicken for the next 3-4 days.

* 36th Costco Shopping this year, 4th time this month.

Ah~!! I forgot to buy eggs.

I went to Costco for fun. I really didn’t have to go.

I ended up buying things I didn’t need (except for the carrots).

* 35th Costco Shopping this year, 3rd time this month.

My co-worker wanted to buy some pillows. So, I took him to Costco.

After Costco, I took my coworker to Popeye’s Chicken. He never had Popeye’s Chicken before. He loved the chicken. He kept saying “good sh*t”

Update 2021 – I still have an unopened bottle of this diffuser. What was I thinking?

Running…
Thank you for visiting.
John

I am still doing good with my fitness goal.

I’ve been running twice a week for 6 months now. I rarely skip my workout schedule. On Mondays & Wednesdays, as soon as I get home from work, I run a steep hill for 15 minutes. I do light workouts on Tuesdays & Thursdays.

Today I wore an Adidas shirt, Adidas shoes, and Adidas shorts. They are all from Costco.

I look absolutely adorable in these; I tells ya…

I paid $15 for the shirt at Costco. They sell these elsewhere for $30+. If you buy a few of these workout outfits, it will pay for your Costco membership.

* 33rd Costco Shopping this year, 1st time this month

Two things here:

  1. Chocolates of the World: I like these chocolates very much.
  2. Essenza Reeds (home fragrance): Costco spoils me. I used to buy Arm & Hammer air freshener spray once a year. Now I cannot live without these fancy smells around me. I must have 2 bottles opened at all times (in different rooms).


The purchased item also includes the doormat – Love that doormat ($13.99)

When it Doubt, Buy it – Plastic Food Wrap
Thank you for visiting.

When it doubts, buy it. Costco will not over-charge you.

Case in the study: Food Wrap by Kirkland Signature – $8.99 (double pack)

At first glance, you might think $9 for 2 rolls of food wraps is not much of a bargain. But look at this.

If you are lucky, you can buy a roll of food wrap for $.99 (from a 99-cent-only store). This roll contains a 100 SQ. FT. of inferior quality plastic wrap.

With Kirkland Signature’s Food Wrap (double pack), you get 1500 SQ. FT of high-quality plastic wrap. That’s 166 SQ FT per Dollar.

So, with the same amount of money, you get 66% more of a high-quality product.

But that’s not all
Think about helping the environment.
To get 1500 SQ. FT. of plastic wrap, you need 15 rolls of cheaper wraps. With Costco’s double pack, you save raw material to package 13 rolls.

Everyone wins with Costco.

So when in doubt? Buy at Costco.

Happy shopping.

I didn’t have to go to Costco today. But I was having a boring day. I wanted to drive somewhere. So I went to Costco.
