I am getting ready for Christmas dinner at my parents’ house in 2 days. I thought it would be too risky to go to Costco tomorrow (Christmas Eve). Costco will close early tomorrow. Also, pumpkin pies may run out.

Costco has a quality ham. Kirkland Signature hams are pretty good. I feel sorry to betray Costco, but I had to pay big bucks and order Honey Baked.

After taking this picture, I fixed a quick dinner with Beef Steak Strips and couscous (pictured below, six-pack). I love the good instant meals I get from Costco.

OK, Merry Christmas, everyone. I’m out.

I took a day off today.

I am getting ready for a Christmas dinner party at my parents’ house. I will bring disposable party supplies.

Construction papers are a Christmas gift for my niece. Those will go well with the colored pens I bought earlier.

I treated myself with a fancy shower robe. The quality of this robe is amazing. It’s a Costco quality.

I bought an extra set of bedsheets set. This is a part of my “Buying new bed” project. My new bed is too warm with flannel sheets right now. I hope these 600 thread count Supima cotton sheets will cool me down a little. This was a totally unexpected extra expense of $69.99. I have blind faith that $69.99 is a very good price for queen-size bedsheets of this quality.

I spent about $180.00 today

Beer and chocolate are for the Christmas party tomorrow. 

The Box of pens (84 colors) is for my niece.

Samsonite’s wheeled duffel was only $39.99. I am planning to go to Hawaii next year.

I had to buy more chicken soup just in case I catch a cold again.

I liked the pillows so much that I had to buy one more set.

The mattress was vacuum packed and squeezed into a smaller box so it’s easier to ship. The box could fit in the back seat of my car. I borrowed a dolly from work to transport this 98 lb box. But I could have done it without the dolly.

The mattress already had a protective cover on it.

The mattress was fully expanded in 10-20 minutes. I didn’t have to wait 72 hours. And there were no bumps or irregular corners. I smelled chemicals at first, but it was not bad.

** 10 months later (October 15, 2009). I can tell you without a doubt that I love my mattress.  I am very happy with my mattress.

The major purchase was a Canon Camera. I bought the camera for somebody. The camera is not for me.

I’ve always wanted to try Red Bull, but I find them extremely expensive. They usually go for over $2 a can. With a $6.00 coupon, Costco’s Red Bull is about $1.16 a can. You’ve gotta love Costco.

I bought a bunch of fruits and vegetables for my daily juicing.

I bought a bunch of kitchen items today. I feel good about it.

I will not buy Pita Chips again. It’s not for me. They are thick and hard. And they don’t have enough flavor for me.

Costco Coupons saved $69.00.
After shopping, I ate a hotdog & bought gas.

I saw a lot of Costco employees in fun costumes today.

All fruits and vegetables are for morning juice before going to work. Bread is for a breakfast sandwich at work. I’m having salad for lunch tomorrow.

I went overboard with snacks.

On the way out, I ate a hot-dog and put gas in my car.
