Last Thing You Bought?

I don't think I posted a pic of the cheesecake. I sent this picture to Sirabella's on FB and they replied right away.

Kind of an odd reply, lol. I was hoping for a discount on my next order, haha.

This looks like the opposite of a problem to me :P But I like crust.

That does look strange having such a thick crust. KL your letter wasn't a real complaint letter. Try again.:D Try harder.:D

Lol...I have a hard time with this kind of stuff. I write reviews on Amazon and it's always "the product didn't work for me, I was disappointed but in all fairness..."

I mean, the cream cheese part was incredible. How do I bash the whole product. I guess I could write back and come right out and ask for a discount. Free shipping, maybe? I didn't post the pic on their FB page and I suppose I could have done that. But then, look at Aery's comment. Some people will see that and think, "oh goody!" Lol.

I just splurged, and ordered an astronomical telescope, a 5-inch Newtonian reflector, for gazing at the stars. I'm not sure how much into observing I'll become; I expect this thing will serve largely as a decoration for my dining room, where hopefully it will make me appear quite scholarly. :p Luckily, I live in a small town, with few glaring lights, so the stars shine brightly.

Quite some time ago (when my nephew was around 10) I got him a reflector telescope for several presents, instead of several presents that would just wind up getting thrown out- he was really interested in space. We had a star party the first night and I remember showing him Jupiter (with 3 of its largest moons visible), I think the moon, and Saturn. He's grown now, still interested in space, and still owns it, but he didn't get as much use out of it as I was hoping. He lives near Boston now where the skies aren't so good for viewing. I suppose he could sell it if he wanted to...

Anyhow, I think the last thing I bought was the 35 lbs of rolled oats I mentioned someplace else. (I love oats like Popeye loves spinach. Ukukukukukuk!)
 
I've just placed an order on iherb.com for some soya protein powder and stevia tablets. It was my last day to use my rewards coupon which made the P&P foc.

After trying unsuccessfully for MONTHS to do those damn surveys and wasting my time when I'm told I'm not eligible, I finally gave up. I don't bother with the surveys anymore. The best ways to earn SB are using the search engine (which uses Yahoo and IMO isn't as good as Google) and watching videos. You can also shop at online stores accessed through the Swagbucks website and earn SB on purchases.

Edited to add: I just checked to see when I posted that comment about Swagbucks and it was in July 2014. I'm now up to 14,879 SB; it took me a year and a half to get there. I'm aiming for 25,000 SB so it'll be a while longer before I can get that Amazon gift card.

I posted the above on January 30, 2016. I know I said then I gave up on the surveys, but I decided to try again. I discovered that it IS possible to complete surveys and get a decent number of Swagbucks, but I have to keep trying, all day every day. I'm lucky if I successfully complete one or two per day.

I also donated to certain NPO's through the SB site, earning me SB between 1,000 and 3,500 range. The donations are small, usually $25-40, and are a one-time donation, and are for charities that I'd donate to anyway, and have in the past for some of them, such as the World Wildlife Fund and the American Red Cross. I don't do the ones that require monthly donations to earn SB because I can't afford it.

So now I'm just 960 Swagbucks short of my goal of 25,000 Swagbucks. I'm still trying to decide what to use that $250 Amazon gift card on. :D

I have ordered some of the Swedish Glace ice cream lollies and the Almond Dream mint choc chip ice cream. The AD one cost £4.99, but I had a £5 off voucher so I thought I would finally try it.:)

Your post made me do some hunting and, boy, I'm glad I did! I've worn makeup since puberty (super self-conscious about my complexion, I don't even exit the house without makeup).... but I simply CANNOT afford even mid-range products, let alone the high-end sh*t.... it's cheapie drugstore brands or bust. I was SOOO pleased to find out that Wet n Wild cosmetics are cruelty-free!
