Last Thing You Bought?

^ Quorn seem to be dragging their feet on that one!

I ordered lots of Fry's stuff from Ocado today. I love their vegan chicken nugget things.:lick:

I also ordered more dry cat food, two new pillows (I put mine in the washing machine and they went really flat!) some rosehip oil for my skin and a concert ticket.
 
I used to feel sick after having the Quorn burgers but I was okay after eating the products like the Quorn lasagne for some reason, maybe because they had less Quorn in them.o_O

I also bought some dog toothpaste! The vet mentioned that small dogs benefit from having attention to their teeth when they had their annual check up and I've only just got around to ordering some.
 
I haven’t eaten any Quorn products in years, but when I did, it didn’t bother me at all, which is interesting because I have a sensitive stomach and bowel, and I’ve had a bad reaction to certain foods in the past.
 
As shopping trips go, it wasn't much of anything, but that was because I was in a hurry to leave and forgot to take my coupons with me. I went to the drugstore and got refills on two prescriptions, both Synthroid (I take two different doses). Then I went next door to the supermarket and bought a bunch of bananas and an Amy's frozen enchilada meal. I ate the frozen meal for dinner. I also planned to get some hummus, but they didn't have the kind I wanted. I'll have to look elsewhere for it.
 
Bought a 1 gallon plastic weed sprayer to use as a shower in my travel trailer up on my property (I don't have any of my springs developed yet - and even when I do I doubt I'll pipe water to the trailer.)
Ace Hardware on sale $4.95

I also bought an L.E.D. lantern to use in illuminating the bathroom during my visits at night in order to avoid missing the toilet and going on my foot (also to be used for reading on the pot at night).
(Currently I have no electrical source at the land except for what I haul up in battery form, and L.E.D. lanterns are much easier to use than kerosene or propane lanterns plus NIMH D cell batteries are much lighter than 12 volt lead acid batteries.)
Lantern $19.99
Ceiling hook (2 pack) $2.95
 
^ I would be frightened on my own in the dark in the countryside.:oops: It's weird as I worked at a place where the men used to get into trouble with the police a lot and there were often knives and replica guns found there (which wasn't exactly fun) but I would be much more scared if I had to go into the woods or countryside at night.:rofl:

I bought more groceries. I keep saying I have to cut down on spending money on food and alcohol, but it's so nice!:D

I find it peaceful.
I have my dogs for companionship, and it's fairly stress free.
Also I'm in and from the western state of Montana in the US - I have real guns with me and I know how to use them.
--Though I feel the possibility of me being forced to use them on anything other than paper targets is very remote, having the ability to do so if needed is still somewhat reassuring.


P.S. I like having food and alcohol also -I especially like having food.

I did some grocery shopping at Wallmart`s and also went to the Canadian $ store. I also bought some household items at W included
a heavy pizza tin.
 
One of my local second-hand stores is having a 50% off sale for the holiday weekend. They tend to carry nicer quality items/brands than Goodwill or Salvation Army, because the items that aren't as nice, but still wearable, are donated to impoverished countries instead. So most of what is on the racks is in better condition. I went there with my mother yesterday, to look for office-appropriate dresses. I ended up with six really nice ones, plus a terry cloth bathrobe, all for around $30.00.

I have been spending a significant portion of Memorial Day weekend looking at paint swatches and Pinterest, etc. to narrow down and develop design ideas for my condo. I have been here almost two years, and it's time to finally make the wall color something I like, not what the previous owners chose.

To that end, I purchased some decorative throw pillows and a new shower curtain, to match paint colors to for their respective rooms. I also spent more money that I will admit on Amazon.com, purchasing products based on My Neighbor Totoro. They must have been having a sale, because normally that stuff is very pricy due to import costs. This time, I saw items from multiple sellers for about 75% off their regular price, if not more.

On the one hand, I could say it's stuff I don't NEED, and that would not be inaccurate, but I have been considering making my home office Totoro themed, because it's the one room of my home that is my creative space for arts and crafts. It makes sense to choose colors/elements that inspire creativity and make me happy. Plus, the color palette I have chosen will coordinate perfectly with the items, and still be nice if/when I want to redecorate again. So yeah... I am calling it an investment in my condo.

That's the only flavor I haven't had yet. Hope to find it at some point.

Yesterday I ran to Kroger to get rascals kidney medicine refilled. While there I got 2 cucumbers and 2 avocados to make cucumber rolls. I also got a box of cliff bars to take on vacation next week.

Then I went to the dollar store and picked up a book for vacation & a new vegetable peeler.

Stopped at tractor supply on the way home and got 2 bags of dog food and a big bag of dog treats.

I found it in a store in a neighbouring town and drove over especially to get it. They seem to have far more choice for vegan ice cream
in Canada compared to the towns that I visit in CA.

My friend and I decided to hang out Sunday into Monday. When we started the day yesterday, neither of us had any idea what we might do for fun. When there is a lack of ideas, we tend to run errands together, since the mundane stuff is way more fun that way. On our way to Trader Joe's, I mentioned wanting to get a snugger fitting ring for my septum piercing. We ended up going to our favorite piercist's shop. He is extremely professional, and gives honest advice, based on what is anatomically feasible, not on what will make him money. I learned he actually teaches hygiene and technique courses at a lot of conventions, etc. Anyway, I ended up deciding to get a new piercing, in addition to the jewelry I wanted. He said my first idea would run the risk of rejecting, so I asked him to suggest an alternative. The uppermost piercing here is what I ended up with:
