Last Thing You Bought?

A root canal...does that count? It did cost me some big bucks, even with insurance.:down:
 
Spelt & kamut flour, brown rice, wholemeal couscous, polenta, linseed, sunflower seeds, coconut milk, tofu
and some rolled oats for a total of €18
 
I went to Rite-Aid drugstore today. I am a Wellness (loyalty card) cardholder, and I was trying to spend $50 in order to get $5 back to apply to a future purchase, and as usual, I overdid it a little.

underwear
socks
1 mini cosmetic bag, intended as a Chanuka gift for my niece
2 2013 mini date planners, one for my purse and one for work
1 2-pack plastic card inserts for my wallet to replace the old one
1 15-foot extension cord
1 backscratcher, the last one they had
1 CD: Original soundtrack for the classic TV Christmas Special A Charlie Brown Christmas. I'm not a big jazz fan, but I'll make an exception for something like this. :D
1 DVD: The Laurel & Hardy movie March of the Wooden Soldiers
1 Instant ramen soup cup, vegetarian "chicken"
3 Annie Chun's vegatarian instant soups, 2 Teriyaki and one Udon
2 pairs fleece sleep pants
2 small fleece blankets, BOGO free

With my Wellness card, I got discounts on everything, actually.

Oh, and I donated $10 to the store's Hurricane Sandy relief fund, which was tacked onto my bill.

Neeedless to say, I went nuts and, excluding the $10 donation, I still went about 30 dollars over the minimum.

But I got the $5 back, plus another $1, all loaded onto my Wellness card. I only have a couple of weeks to use the $6 before I lose it, but I'll probably use it on cat litter or something else useful. :)

Can you say "shopaholic", boys and girls? :bang:

Well, I'm impressed. :up:

Me, on Friday:

Gas for my car, $45 and change

Then the co-op:

2 Greek salads
3 organic Braeburn apples
1 container lentils and rice
1 container soy "chicken" salad
1 container pasta primavera salad
1 Amy's frozen pot pie, just 2.99 for co-op members
1 fridge magnet that says "I (heart) cats. It's people I can't stand"
1 pair of tie dyed socks
1 package of Organic Valley raw sharp cheddar cheese
a cheese knife with a bamboo handle
and a package of Bob's Red Mill steel cut oats which I tossed into the holiday food donation barrel at the front of the store on my way out. :)
Total: $64 and change

I also wanted to get a few Nile Spice Red Beans and Rice instant soup cups, but they suddenly don't carry this item anymore. :cry:

Why did I get that magnet? There's a big sign on the front of the food donation barrel that says "THIS IS NOT A TRASH CONTAINER" and some people threw their trash into it anyway. :rolleyes:

There was another magnet at the store that said "I am one bad relationship away from having 30 cats" which I didn't buy. Maybe I should have. :p
