Last Thing You Bought?

Those cushions are great looking. I really like the flowers one on the right, would really like to have one - though I have no idea where I would use it.

The sheets I have on my bed right now are Sophia Vergara 400 count that I bought from K-Mart. I really like them - best sheets I've ever owned. I lucked into them, I was looking for sheets and found them in the discontinued area (the color was discontinued, they still sell the sheets - mine are kind of a teal color). I can't remember off hand what I paid for a set, but I'm fairly sure it was less than $20 each (I think they regularly cost somewhere around $50). I bought 2 sets. The next day I made a special trip and bought the last 2 sets they had discounted for my mother.

They are indeed really elegant and they were also reasonably priced. Well, you don't really use them for anything except for decorating either an armchair, settee or bed. I usually have one in an armchair and the rose one on my bed.;)

I purchase a printer for my computer and am now waiting for someone to install it.:rolleyes:

I got a haircut today! My hair is pretty again. :)
That cost me 23 bucks, plus a $4 tip.

Then I went to Rite Aid to get two Synthroid prescriptions refilled. While I was there I got a few other things, like canned cat food, eye drops and pumpkin seeds.

Then I went next door to Vons supermarket for a few things. I bought:
Mission tortilla strips
4 cups of yogurt: One black cherry, two blueberry and one mango
Two Odwalla bars, one chocolate and one berry (impulse buy)
1 large bag chopped salad kit, Mediterranean (which is now gone since I ate the whole thing for dinner. I was really hungry.)
Radishes
2 bags spinach and arugula
Clementines (50c off coupon)
Organic cherry tomatoes on the vine
Organic peeled carrots
Organic Fuji apples
Organic bananas
Organic broccoli
seitan
Plain hummus

Today I bought 10 seven foot tall t-posts for $69 ($6.90 each) and took them up to my land.
I'd be happier if they were taller as I plan to use them to put up some six foot tall bonded wire fencing. They were the tallest the hardware store carried though. (I'm making a larger safe area for my dogs at the land -from cougar, wolves, and now from coyotes for the smaller pup).
-I'll try the feed stores to see if I can get some eight foot or taller t-posts next and then go tall-short-tall-short with them, or I'll wire something to the t-posts to make them taller.

Bought treats for the dogs $? (don't remember).

Ten feet of strapping to make an addition to the dog leashes so it'll be easier to walk them on leash at the same time, plus they'll have more range $6.80 (68 cents a foot).

100 feet of para cord to make an emergency dog tie out cord to carry in the car $9.99
The new pup threw up on the old one the first day I had her (just as I pulled up to let her out) I had fed her too rich of food, too fast, she wasn't used to it.
I brushed off what was left of the dry puke (yuck) cut the old cord into pieces and used it to secure the t-posts on my roof rack (cheap clothesline cord, I would have washed para cord - it was too short for 2 dogs anyway).

Another clip for hooking to a dog collar (already had one on the other cord) $2.97

21 plastic hangers so I could hang up some of the clothes in my trailer instead piling them up $3 (3 packs of 7).

3 fill it yourself sand bags of gravel/sand mix for wet areas around my trailer $3
I have heavy clay soil, and it's a mess in the spring, or when I have heavy rains. I'm fighting this by buying and filling a few bags of sand, gravel, or mix everytime I go past the cement plant and dumping them in the wet areas. It's working - slowly - I'm no longer carrying 2 inches of mud on my shoes everytime I walk from my car to the trailer.

Rained all day. Didn't get much done outside my trailer. Tidied up (a bit) inside though. Took a nap with the pups. Pretty good day overall.

I'm not fond of glass shelves (it's a pain keeping mine clean) but other than that I really like the looks of that frig/freezer. I'd be proud to own it.

I have glass shelves in my current fridge and they are very easy to clean. I also use fridge organisers ( small plastic containers; see link below) to stock
items and containers. They usually stain and not the actual shelves.

I just take the shelves out and wash them under the shower with washing up liquid.

I can't wait to have the fridge delivered and have a no frost freezer as I'm fed up with defrosting and having food that is all icy and stuck together.

just reserved a new phoneeeeeee :D

My poor baby phone is 5 years old. It keeps turning itself off randomly, and it takes 20-30 seconds to open a text message. It was kind of dated style-wise when I bought it, so now it looks super old xD everyone I know, including my grandparents, has a more in-date phone. I'm really going to miss it! But I'm kinda excited about having a phone that works again.

I keep waking up at 3am so I've ordered some vegan calcium and magnesium tablets.

I wanted to buy a comfortable armchair and maybe I'm cheap but they all seem really expensive.:D

Groceries.

Details to come after I've had a good night's sleep.
Click to expand...

Well, I didn’t get that good night’s sleep – I only got four hours – but it’s just as well because I have to go to the dentist today and I’m really anxious about it, so I wouldn’t have slept well anyway.

In any case, here’s what I bought at the supermarket yesterday:

Sourdough pretzels
Fancy Feast canned cat food
Pumpkin seeds
Potato chips
Tortilla chips
Raw almonds (coupons)
Yogurt
Brown rice (coupon)
Drinking water
Bananas
Organic Fuji apples
Organic arugula
Radishes
Baby spinach
Carrots
Tomatoes on the vine
Ranch dressing (coupon)
Clementines
A small veggie snack tray (broccoli, carrots and snap peas) – that’s for lunch today
An Amy’s frozen meal which I ate for dinner last night
Popcorn
Seitan
Tofurky Italian deli slices (these are SO good)
Sliced smoked Gouda
Chocolate cupcakes
Lemon cupcakes
Hershey’s Easter miniatures (coupon)
Socks

I got exactly 200 fuel points with my Rewards card, which is exactly what I need to get 20 cents off per gallon of gas at the nearest Shell - which is right up the street from the supermarket.

I was on the way home from the dentist today, and it was getting close to dinnertime, so I was thinking I'd stop at Subway for something, and leave my new groceries purchases for another time. Then I remembered that I didn't get the hummus I wanted at Ralphs, but they had it at Vons, so I decided to stop at Vons for the hummus and something for dinner, like a premade salad. But since it's impossible for me to walk into a store and walk out with ONLY the one item I went into the store to get, and because I remembered that I'm gong to my aunt's house on Friday and I promised to bring some things and figured I may as well get some of them today, I bought:

Plain hummus (of course)
a large bag of Mediterranean chopped salad, which is now gone since I at it all for dinner
More seitan. Hail seitan!
Earth Balance
more of those fancy Sunsweet prunes

From the Passover display:
1 box of Matzoh (for me)
three boxes of cookies and two boxes of chocolate candy, all for Friday night. Everyone there has a sweet tooth.
2 bottles of grape juice, for Friday night, because I don't drink wine at the seders anymore.
 
Took one of my pups to the vet to have her checked for a urinary tract infection - she very occasionally wets the bed (my bed).
The urine analysis and visit cost around $70.00. She didn't have an infection (which I had actually hoped for - easy fix), she has what they call spayed incontinence. There is no cure. It's supposed to get worse as she gets older (she's only 3). The vet recommended that I give her pills to help keep her from wetting (tightens her bladder sphincter muscle).

Got 60 pills for her for $35.00 I'm supposed to give her 2 pills daily.

She ate the first pill in the morning, but kept spitting out the 2nd pill in the evening. Had to rush several times to keep it away from my other pup. Even when I wrapped it in a treat she'd eat the treat and spit out the pill. (She actually spits it out - it flies through the air- I've never seen a dog spit before - didn't think they could).

Had to force her to take it. No fun.

For now instead of the pills I'm going to try taking her out in the middle of the night to empty her bladder (which is also going to be difficult as she's scared of the dark). however except for the possibility of me having to do more laundry, and losing some sleep, this shouldn't cause any harm, and I'd rather do this than have to fight her to get her to take the pills.

Sorry about your pup's condition. My vet recommended stuffing the pill in a blob of chunky peanut butter for pill spitters. My old German Shepherd would spit a pill into the air, lol. The peanut butter worked for him :)
