Costco Time!

Another Trip to Costco!

I had a list, and I didn’t get everything that was on it … and then I picked up other things that were NOT on it … you do know that’s the #1 problem with shopping at Costco, right?

80 count Newmans Keurig Coffee $36.99 less $5
Bag of limes $4.59
Bag of lemons $6.99 less $1
2 lb bag of cauliflower $3.99
6 lb bag of Muscle Milk Protein Powder $32.99 less $6
Twin pack of pomegranate perils $6.99
Box of O Yeah protein bars $17.99
Big wedge of blue cheese $7.412
2 large bottles of B12 (rapid dissolve, I love these things) $16.49 x 2 less $5 x 2 (one bottle for g/f)
Bag of crumbled bacon bits $11.99
2 containers of half and half $1.69 each
Container of grape tomatoes $5.79
Large container of organic spinach $4.49
48 count string cheese $8.59
3 pk seedless cucumbers $3.99
Jalepeno Popper dip $7.99
3 pk of honey ham/roast beef/roasted chicken lunchmeat $11.59
2 lb bag of cooked shrimp $18.99
2 pkgs of cooked bacon $12.99 each
2 pkgs of baby artesian romaine lettuce $3.99 each
Bottle of sea salt $2.79
Bag of multigrain chips $5.99
Bottle of chopped onion $3.39
Smoked fish dip $9.89
Bag of riceworks sea salt/sesame seed chips $5.39
Bag of jerkey $8.99
Pkg of mushrooms $3.99
Mango slices $7.99 (had a change of heart and had these removed and taken off)
2 pack of peanut butter $10.99 less $3 (Sonny Boy is coming back home, you know?)
2 pk organic honey $8.99
bag of celery sticks $3.99
big container of baby spring mix $4.59
twin box of frosted flakes (!!!!!) $6.59. These were returned as they did not belong in my cart!
Grand total $312.26 less $6.59 ... way more than I anticipated spending, that's for sure. Suppose it makes up for last weeks $75 or so trips total ...

NOTE: If you download the Costco app to your smart phone and just show the cashier, they will automatically take the discounts/rebates/coupons off ... heck of a lot better than carrying the booklet all over the place in my opinion :)

Been to Costco lately?

Non Toxic Mosquito Spray

Image
Let's face it, living in Paradise does have a few drawbacks with the #1 complaint being ... BUGS. Yeah, bugs.  Mostly mosquitoes that can just ruin an evening of relaxation on the patio ... those pesky little guys can really do a number on you quickly!  Heaven forbid if you are one of those who are very sensitive to the bites (the Boy), you will have welts in no time. So Hubby always decides to spray AFTER everyone starts swatting the air and scratching. We have to gather up our drinks and appetizers, go indoors and wait for 20 minutes or so for the toxic fog to flat away ... only to be swatting and scratching AGAIN in 30 minutes. After seeing THIS tip a few too many times, I figured, what the heck, $5 at Walmart is worth it to try, right? Guess what?  It seems to work!!!  I need to do a few more nights to say for certain but I say it's WAY better than that can of toxic stuff ... and cheaper to boot! You must use the ORIGINAL flavor, and yes, it nee

Smelly Shoe Fix!

Image
Honestly, we have real good hygiene habits in my house, I can assure you of that! But, lets face it, living in paradise with 125% humidity can be a little trying sometimes ... my running shoes (which have NOT seen much running action for quite a while) get a little ripe smelling ... and oh man, you should smell the shoes that Hubby wears outside in the yard, patio, garage and boat that constantly get wet ... enough to suck the oxygen right out of your body ... whew! Then you have the Boy ... who works out pretty darn hard and doesn't always wear socks, nor does the Princess ... I mean, seriously, I've had to throw shoes away because you could smell them just sitting there. No one wants to be the person that people are wrinkling their nose at when they are walking by you! So when I saw the featured post for the Smelly Shoe Solution (and dang, I'm still trying to find the original post because I had no need to bookmark it, such a simple fix!) Yes. That's IT!

Rice Cooker - Hard Boiled Eggs

Image
One of the things I picked up at Costco was a new Rice Cooker. The one I have, well, I gave that to the Boy when he went away to college (so he could make his macaroni and cheese), not to mention, it was small as heck, like mini size! So, I figured, you know, Hubby likes to make rice occasionally. The Boy makes brown rice in the microwave every other day and leaves the bubbly residue behind for ME to find when I go to heat something up (I hate a dirty microwave, totally wigs me out and sends me running for the windex!) ... so I grabbed the rice cooker ($29.95), a 10 pound bag of organic brown rice and a 20 pound bag of Basmati rice. I'm asking myself now, a whole week later, what the hell am I going to do with 20 pounds of Basmati rice? Anyways. Then I was reading the recipe booklet that came along with the cooker. They had one recipe that said to add the eggs, unshelled, to the steamer basket.  Ok. That made me re-read it a few times. Unshelled? Did they mean out of the shell?
