Wash Cloths

There are many items that I purchase once a year at Costco -- yes, things that last a year!

To keep my skin clean and glowing, I buy the bundle of small wash cloths at Coscto. They are so inexpensive and I use two per day. I wash my face with the fresh washcloth and after I am finished in the bathroom, I use it to wipe down the sink and the counter -- my bathroom is always cleans and ready for guests. Then, I use a new one at night -- this way, there are no germs being transferred to my face from using a washcloth has has been used. I toss them in the wash and since there are so many, they last a week. My skin looks so amazing as they act as a great exfoliator and they help remove all of my makeup.

They are a bargain at Costco and a “Must Have” for all family households. And, when I am finished using them, I turn them into great rags.

Edamame

Edamame is one of my favorite afternoon snacks -- I have them every day -- and at Costco they are fresh and so easy to prepare. I put them in the microwave for 30 seconds and put a little low-sodium salt on them and voila - a great pick me up snack that is soooooooo good. Sometimes I go to Costco just for the edamame!

Produce at Costco

After listening to Tony Robbins’ cds “The Edge”, I am once again eating only healthy foods -- produce is my mainstay -- and I was so pleased to see that Costco has now added Mini cukes -- according to Tony they are really good for you -- and I love them -- they are great for singles because of their small size, so you don’t have to cut open a large cucumber when adding it to your salad.

Now is the season for the beefstake tomatoes -- YUM -- had to have those -- they go great with salads, with mozzarella and basil or just plain with salt! They smell great too!

I also picked up a pack of French beans to add to the salads and for snacks.

Making Life Simple

Costco has such incredible deals that are great for singles and couples as well as big families. As a single woman I shop at Costco to get all of the fresh produce that I love to eat. I find that it is still less expensive for me to buy my produce at Costco and other items and products that I will be blogging about. Yes, of course, some of the products are just not for singles, yet the variety of products that are makes it a great plan to be a Costco Member.

As an Impressionist Artist, I use a lot of flowers in my paintings. Their flowers are always fresh - they receive new flowers every day! And the price is the best in town. I schedule my photo shoots and my plein aire paintings from the day I buy them! I have painted the most incredible paintings with Costco flowers -- my models love them!

This is a photo of two of my models and all of the flowers that I purchased at Costco to make the photo shoot a great success!

Costco For Singles

Costco is a great place to shop -- even for singles!

Before I start talking about the best reasons to shop at Costco, let me just one of the best ones! Their return policy is one of the best in the country -- you can even take back a phone that broke after a year -- without a receipt -- who else does that -- and it’s always -- no questions asked! Truly -- they just take the items back and give you a refund -- right away.
