Costco Shopping – April 23, 2010, With a Friend

* 13th Costco Shopping this year, 2nd time this month.

I went to Costco with a friend.

My receipt shows $108.79, but we went half and half on some items.

Coupons saved $21.00

I like Laughing Cow cheese. It was my first time tasting Laughing Cow Cheese (thanks for the $2.00 coupon).

My Friend:
My friend is an elementary school teacher trying to lose weight. That’s why you see 100 calories snack bars & some silly candies. She bought some cat food.

Sign of Getting Old – Flowers

Another sign of getting old

First time in my life I bought flowers to decorate my place.

That’s my dining table. I hate to replace the table. I love my apartment. I enjoy living here a lot. But I don’t feel the need to spend money on this apartment. (update 2021 – I was saving to buy a house)

Costco Shopping – April 10, 2010

* 12th Costco Shopping this year, 1st time this month.

The shrimp cocktail was for my guest.

I am happy with Papua New Guinea coffee from Kirkland Signature. This 3lb bag was only $13.89. This coffee is milder than Starbucks’ French roast. I can smell a hint of “Earth” on this coffee. The beans are shiny with a fresh coat of oil.

I was sick a few weeks ago, so I was out of DayQuil.

I’m still doing good with money.

Price Comparison – Jarlsberg Cheese

When in doubt, buy Costco.

I bought 2.25lb Jarlsberg cheese at Costco. After the $2.50 coupon, the final price was $7.60.

Then I went to xxxx supermarket and found the same cheese. It was $7.53 for 0.58lb.

So, at Costco, with the same amount of money, I got 4 times more cheese.

2.25lb of cheese comes out to be $29.23 at the Supermarket. But I only paid $7.60 at Costco. This is ridiculous (in a good way).

Things like this remind me why I love Costco.
