Photo Credit: Coda
VJ Entertainment & KHON2 are hosting the first Hawaii Ocean Expo on March 28 & 29.
This event sounds like a lot of fun. It will feature vendors and sponsors representing boating, fishing, canoe paddling, surfing, stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming, SCUBA diving, sailboarding, skin diving, ocean apparel companies, and much more. There also will be the largest surf sample sale ever in Hawaii.
I am especially excited about cooking demonstrations by chefs @ Nobu - I was so excited when Nobu came to Waikiki. But now I am getting so used to frugal living, I don't know if I can tolerate their prices. But... cooking demonstrations usually mean free samples!! So maybe I can taste some of Nobu's dishes for FREE??? Oh, I cannot wait to find out!!!!!

Times Supermarket - Oahu, Hawaii: March 25-31
Photo Credit: sburke2478
I'm sorry for a late post. I've had flu-like symptoms since the beginning of this week - excruciating headache, body-ache, hoarse voice, runny nose, dizziness(?). Now, I am back to normal minus dizziness.
I am beginning to suspect that I may have had PMS... I realized that I have these symptoms at least 3-4 times a year at a certain time (right before ...). I did a little research and it seems that flu-like symptoms is one of PMS (PMDD?) symptoms. Could this be possible?
Sorry, I digressed...
This week's deals that caught my attention at Times Supermarket;
Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream
$4.00/2 w/ in-ad coupon
* The lowest price I've ever seen!!
Sun Burst Liquid laundry Detergent, 61 load
$11.00/2 w/ in-ad coupon
Pedigree Canned Dog Food
$7.00/10 w/ in-ad coupon
I asked my hubby (who was so excited about the ice cream deal & woke up early on Wednesday to get to the store before work) to also get Kale that was $1.99 (also a great deal) & a few things. To make a grocery list for him, I cut pictures out of an ad & now my ad is all over... So I have to apologize for such a short list.
I also spotted deals on Kotex Maxi/Tampons ($2.99) & Kotex Liners ($.99). I think I had coupons for them. But now I found out that I misplaced my coupon organizer somewhere in the midst of my battles against headache. I cannot find them & the constant drilling noise and shaking from the sewage construction at the back of our apartment is NOT AT ALL HELPING!!!
