Costco (Christmas) Shopping – August 21 & 27, 2011

John

I’ve been busy. I’ve been putting in a lot of hours at work lately. I hope that means I will have a better paycheck next time. I’ve been making very little money. I had to take out $5.000.00 from my savings account so I can survive.

I went to Costco on August 21st and 27th (2011).

Costco stocked yet another kind of coffee grinder for $29.99. This Krups burr coffee grinder easily goes for $60-70 elsewhere. 

Costco’s Krups Coffee Grinder has mixed online reviews. But, I gave it a chance.

Update 2021 – This coffee grinder died in 20201. It lasted 10 years.

And I bought some other stuff.

But what’s important is that it’s Christmas time at Costco. If you like Christmas as I do, this may be the time to make a list.

I bought a toy helicopter for my nephew. And I bought a small LED Santa figurine for my desk at work. The figurines come in 4 designs; Santa, snowman, penguin, & angel.  3 AA batteries power 3 LED lights. Nihm batteries last about 100 hours.

I took the LED Santa home, turn off all the lights at my APT, and turned on the Santa. That moment officially marked my Christmas season. 

Times are tough. I am putting in a lot of overtime with no promise of money. But I am mentally relaxed and feel happy. It’s Christmas time. Nothing else matters.

This year, I would like to bring happy feelings to my neighbors.
