Last Thing You Bought?

Medicines for Noomi and four (!!!) different bottles of shampoo for her. :P My show dogs never had that much shampoo as my working dogs. :P
 
I went on an unintended shopping expedition with my mum, who wanted to find a few items for her condo. I, likewise, have some home decor projects in the works for my condo, so I have been picking up items as I find ones that fit well.

First we went to the local handcrafted wood furniture place, which was having a clearance sale. I ended up with:
A solid wood upholstered bench I can use at the foot of my bed, or as a window seat
A set of three stacking ottomans in a black and white paisley print
A storage ottoman with a retro green floral/leaf print that matches the color palette for my home office
Grand Total: $200.00

Then, we went to a few thrift stores, and I found:
4 yards of a grey fabric and a remnant of orange and white retro floral upholstery fabric which are destined to cover some old pillows or similar.
Total $10.00

Finally, we went to Burlington Coat Factory, which in addition to clothes has a great selection of well-priced home decor items. I purchased:
A shower curtain, and two rugs to coordinate with the new design in my bathroom
A mauve and white microfiber thrown blanket for my new bedroom design
and finally, because I was going to feel like a jerk bringing in all this new furniture that's not for the cats, I bought a medium sized dog bed for them to share.
Grand total: $35.00

I found the Beyond Meat burgers! I'm scared to try them because I hated the beyond meat chicken...twice. I feel like a crazy person. I haven't heard of one other person who doesn't like it. :( I'm hoping the burgers will be different.

My son doesn't like the Beyond Meat chikken or burgers. He likes others, like gardein and some Amys. They hurt my stomach (almost all fake meats do now), so I only tried a tiny bite of the BM as a test.
 
I haven't tried/found the Beyond Meat stuff yet. I'm hooked on the Gardein beefless tips and fishless filets at the moment.

Last thing I bought: A Steven Wilson hoodie at the concert last night. :D

I really like Gardein. I never was a burger lover, anyway, so I stick with good old Boca Chicken patties and eat those on a bun with all of the burger fixings. Yum.

I tried a fish less type thing from whole foods and didn't like that either. Hmmph. It might have been Sophie's but I don't remember.

The Boston Veg Fest is in a few months. If you can make it up, we should go again and see what other fun treats we can get you hooked on! I always have those fishless filets in my freezer now.

Definitely! I get those filets all the time, too, along with that chocolate syrup. I found it at Vegan Essentials.com.

I think I might buy a high velocity fan, either this week or next. My house is so hot in summer and I keep buying the cheap fans which don't work very well.:rolleyes:

Yeah, sometimes it's not worth trying to save a buck with certain things.

With all of the money I've wasted on cordless vacuum cleaners/sweepers, that just don't get the job done, I could have bought a Dyson!

Plus, my issue is I hate uprights and want a really good canister vac with a small/narrow bare floor attachment like the old/discontinued models and they just don't seem to make them that way anymore.

^ Yes, I think so too.:yes: I am trying to buy better quality clothes as well as they last longer. I was thinking of replacing my cookware with the expensive quality cookware, there is a certain brand that is meant to last a lifetime, I forget the name of it now.

I have two VAX vacuum cleaners, one for upstairs and one for downstairs. They are quite lightweight and the pet one is particularly good. I have to empty the vacuums every day after I use them as there is so much pet hair! My allergies have been much better since I bought the VAX vacuums and we got rid of all the carpets.
 
I spent money today.

First, a visit with the dentist, had teeth cleaning and checkup, and everything went well! :up: Spent $177 on the visit.

Afterwards I made a quick stop at Walgreens because I had $5 in Balance rewards that I wanted to use before they expired, so I got toothpaste and pumpkin seeds.

Then I stopped into Vons supermarket and I got an Amy’s frozen meal for dinner tonight, as well as blueberries, bananas, apples and plain hummus.

I bought some groceries: Bananas, grinder rolls, bell peppers, onions, sea salt and chocolate-covered almonds and blueberry jam. I have to leave the almonds in the and pick at them, otherwise, I will eat the entire container, which would not sit well in my stomach. :D

In case anyone was confused by the phrase "grinder rolls", here's a picture of a grinder:

th


Yup. It's a sub! :D

There are different names for this particular type of sandwich: Grinder, hero, hoagie, submarine, sub. What word you use depends on geography. It's like "pop" vs. "soda".
