I just want to say THANK YOU to the person who recommended the countertop dishwasher! THIS will be a game changer!

Honey crystallizes but can be retrieved with heat. BUT, honey is a good source of aspergillus spores which can cause aspergillosis, a potentially life threatening illness (lung infection.) It is recommended to never give honey to babies who still have deficient immune systems.

We could never make Costco pay. The annual $50 more than ate up our savings on the few things we bought there: tofu, rotisserie chickens, pickled herring, Blu-Ray player (that made one year ALMOST work.)
After two years we called it quits.
ALDI's underprices most COSTCO items without a membership fee.


IF we feel the need to upgrade to a 60 inch TV, we will probably join Costco or BJ's for another year. But then an online purchase might make more sense with free delivery and no tax.

The honey I have does not have an expiration date on it.

I guess you are a lover of information. How long did you have the syrup? Mine had an expiration date of 2015 and I did not see any mold.

Also known as "forever love" (sorry, couldn't resist).

Man you need to shop different, I'm sure there's things you need at Costco.

Detergent, bleach, dishwashing liquid, you would like the bag of frozen salmon fillets. Those things I said are about $50 right there.

I can feed myself off about $250, but I make a lot of my food at home. I eat out about once a week for dinner and maybe twice a week for lunch. One thing is, I don't really drink, so that saves me a lot of money.

I don't drink either. You have a good budget for food. I am aiming for $200. Maybe less.
