  • 2 cans Kuner's no-salt garbanzos
  • 1 large container Mrs. Dash original blend
  • 1 package Flat-Out Fold-It rosemary & olive oil flatbread :lick:

Bought 2 packs of my favourite blackberry pectine sweets.:p I absolutely adore them, but they've become much more expensive and too hard to find in my home town.
 
Believe it or not, yesterday I stopped at Target and bought two bottles of Just Thousand Island dressing from Hampton Creek. That stuff is so addictive! Target is the only store in town that carries it, so I make special trips there sometimes.

Just looked up Hampton Creek dressing and also have ranch!
No, I don't want a recipe to make my. I think it' those kinds of things that I really just want to purchase. Ranch dressing, cream of xxxx condensed soups, gravies. I used to keep a can of Campbells mushroom gravy on hand and it so useful. They don't have it at my stores anymore. And condensed cream soups - they're so handy to mix into casseroles. Yes, I know how to duplicate--not my point! It's like, yes, I can make a vegan pizza, but that totally ruins the experience of pizza! At least I found Pizza Hut's good (when they offer a special for unlimited toppings-won't even substitute topping for cheese)
I'm not talking those specialty organic, vegan thing either. I want them to be on the shelfs for everyone, at regular prices. For everyone to buy
Sorry to jack thread...

Oh, I bought three paper shades from Walmart. They're peel and stick and just for privacy and light filtering for upstairs at$4.99 each. Haven't put them up yet

Yeah, there is something about Hampton Creek products that is simply amazing! I tried the Daiya Blue Cheeze dressing (No one carries it up here, I found it in another city) but really didn't like it. but so far I have loved everything I have tried from Hampton Creek. The ranch, the Thousand Island, Just Mayo. Haven't tried Just Ceasar yet, and their cookie dough stuff is way too dangerous for me lol. I love the squeeze bottles because I don't go as overboard with those, but then it's hard to get that last bit out of them. I've seriously considered surgically opening them with box cutters when I can't get that last glob of dressing out lol.

Sadly, I do not not buy many things (hardly anything really) online.... I guess my current diet (and my unfortunate locale) may, perhaps, dictate otherwise.... o_O

No worries on the Thousand Island sh*t, though.... :yuck: LOL

Safety pins! :) Assorted safety pins, as it turns out! I didn't notice the bigger ones at first, had to swap out the tiny ones on my shirt & hat.... ;)
 
I'm going to order groceries, lots of fresh fruit and veg, beans, tofu, herbal tea. Alcohol, lol.

I want to get a new set of bed covers, but I think I will wait until Black Friday.

I want new sheets. I, too, am waiting, though. We are supposed to get bonuses this year, but we haven't heard how much. Hopefully it will be enough to buy some super nice luxurious sheets.

The last thing I bought was a 4-pack of Sip of Sunshine beer, which is super hard to find in these parts. My sister (and, I as well) loves it, and I am going to surprise her with it when she comes tonight (it's girls' weekend with her, my cousin and one of our friends). I think she will be very happy. :)

I can't even remember how old my sheets are! I have two sets, and in winter put done a blanket. I've always wondered how much better better sheets can be? o_O I know how much I love a fuzzy soft blankie is to lay on, but 1000 thread count? o_O I don't want to know!
And... I looked up companies to boycott that support Trump and found my favorite beer! :mad: Yuengling! I'm not much a beer drinker, but I favored the Black and Tan.
 
I bought a winter coat! :D I am NOT a shopper, and my two coats were over 15 years old. Well, to me 15- they were from Goodwill!
So anyway, I went to JCPenny-not on the Trump boycott list- and found just what I wanted. They didn't have my size in the color I wanted, so I got beige, went home and found the aubergine color online with a discount for ordering online. When it was shipped to the store I returned the beige- but they screwed up and had a black coat for my order. It was such a mess! they had to return the coat they had for my order, even though they showed the had the right one in stock! I had to go get, without my glasses and not knowing the store so I felt totally lost! I got it for $90 and it was normally $200.!
I just can't believe anyone would want to 'go shopping':eek:

I also got a Melitta single cup coffee drip thingee from amazon! Thanks @MadamSarcastra! I love it!
 
A couple days ago I picked up some stuff for Mojo & his skin problems.... a jar of organic coconut oil (to add to his food... I'll save some for me for lip balm ;)), some inner-fillet pure aloe juice & a spray bottle for it, plus some Abound grain-free canned food. Today, I got:
  • 2 cans Kuner's no-salt garbanzos
  • 2 cans Kuner's no-salt black beans
  • 2 cans Meijer no-salt diced tomatoes
  • 1 box Mueller's tri-color rotini
  • 12-pack Heineken cans
  • 2 bags Better Made no-salt potato chips
  • 2 Roma tomatoes
  • 1 large avocado
  • 1 very large red bell pepper
  • 1 mammoth-sized red onion
  • 1 package Flatout flatbread (multigrain w/ flax)
  • 1 bag Bolthouse Farms organic matchstick carrots
  • 1 container Earthbound Farm organic baby kale
  • 1 carton True Goodness organic whole white mushrooms
  • 1 bag Alexia frozen oven fries (olive oil/rosemary)
  • 0.39 lb. container DHF nutritional yeast
  • 0.43 lb. container DHF nutritional yeast
  • 1 purple silicone mini-spatula
DHF stands for Discount Health Foods.... each container's label reads: "Dried yeast grown on cane & beet molasses. One heaping tablespoon provides about 6 grams of protein with all the essential amino acids & B-vitamins." :)

My sheets are more than 15 years old, I think. They are thin and worn. I have two sets of cotton sheets and one set of flannel sheets. The flannel ones are still good, but I definitely need to replace the other two sets.

I hit Savers (a thrift shop) over the weekend and got a really nice black winter coat (I wanted one that went below my back end) for $13 and a pretty dress (ankle length and cranberry with gold buttons) for $7.99. I also bought a pink cotton cardigan, a long gray acrylic sweater that I can wear with tights or leggings, and two thin cotton hoodies (one red, one black with a lighthouse design on the back of it; I live in hoodies of all kinds, haha). My total bill was $57. The coat is practically new. There was hardly and wear on it. I love thrift shops. :)

The vast majority of what I have is second hand-pretty much all my wood furniture is from the road side!
I wore my new coat today and kept thinking 'I'm wearing $90.00 dollars'. It's a fine coat, but I kept finding it lacking- $90 dollars should be an absolute perfect coat.
I've looked for the last two years for one at thrift stores. I'm too big to be chosey there anymore
 
Just got back from picking up supplies to make the Stuffin' Muffins.... holy crap that place was a mad-house!! :eek: I hate people. Especially the colossal douchebag that was verbally abusing his girlfriend/whatever. They were the only other people when I walked into the soup/broth aisle... I heard before I saw. I walked by VERRRY slowly & made face-to-face eye contact with the dude... and just stood there, stock-still, & stared at him (with sunglasses on) for several seconds & he shut up for a bit... (I've been known to sometimes have a very intimidating presence when I want to without ever saying a word)... I walked the few steps to get my broth, took my time... he started up again but his back was to me, so I mouthed the words "Are you OK??" to her... she smiled & nodded confidently. "Are you sure??" Another nod. In fact, she didn't look scared at all... she actually looked quite bored with it all. Still, I promptly found a manager in the very next aisle & he went right over there. I've dealt with verbal abuse more than a few times in my life... that sh*t don't fly around me. :ttth:

Anyhoo, on to the good stuff! At Kroger I got:
  • Pacific organic low-sodium vegetable broth (for me)
  • Imagine organic low-sodium vegetarian no-chicken broth (for Jerry)
  • Private Selection Golden Flax & Grain wide pan bread (for me)
  • Pepperidge Farm Asiago cheese bread (for Jerry)
  • 2 white onions
  • 1 bunch celery
  • 12-pack Heineken bottles
And I got a Family Chef non-stick 12-cup muffin pan at Family Dollar, which is stunningly sturdy for only costing $4.50! :)
