Welcome to the Fourth of July edition, inspired by our Costco visit last Thursday, mainly to pick up our Vizio High Definition Sound Bar – a tremendous value at $89.99, 10 bucks less than MSRP, and super easy to install. We went next door to pick up “Rocky Horror” on Blu-Ray at Best Buy (we had a 10% off coupon), a perfect movie to test our new home-theater set-up – and the Vizio blew us away. Great surround-sound performance in a small package. We’ve seen “Rocky Horror” countless times and it was like seeing (and hearing) it for the first time.
Enough about that. We picked up more Stolichnaya at Costco, along with a big bottle of Pom and, following a delicious free bbq sandwich sample of Kirkland Roast Beef and KC Masterpiece sauce, a four-pack of the canned roast beef ($10.99). A 1.75-liter bottle of Sauza Hornitos tequila was only $32 with a $8-off coupon (very tempting, but we’ll pick that up next time).
We also scored a bottle of Focus Factor vitamins, a result of an earlier free sample. And although we didn’t buy the aforementioned Hoffy Bacon-Wrapped Hot Dogs, it did inspire us to get a three-pack of Nathan’s All-Beef Franks (six dollars and change, on sale, which is stupid cheap) and we grilled them wrapped in Butterball turkey bacon the next day at our favorite park, coupled with Kirkland turkey burgers and washed down, of course, with Stoli lemonade. What a delicious way to salute the birth of our country three days early. We beat the crowds and practically had the park to ourselves.
Anyhow, the Costco sample lineup was a tribute to the Fourth, and packed with gluten-free stuff, two clear themes for this day. Here’s the lineup below. Happy Independence Day to all!
