Last Thing You Bought?

@KLS52 I can't wait for reviews! I want it, but know it will sit on my shelf like other cookbooks. I wish it was at a library!
I did find the Vegan Table used at a good price. Now I feel like browsing Half Price Books. Well more because I was just next to it yesterday and didn't, should have known I wanted to!
Did you join his facebook?

I belong to one seitan fb group...I don't think it's his...The Seitan Appreciation Society.
Believe me, I have several cookbooks that I never use. No reason to believe this one will be any different, haha. But I had to have it. A lot of the stuff posted on FB is from there. The barbecued ribs look amazing. I will be happy to share recipes! I'll post the table of contents and people can ask for the ones that sound good! :)

Thought these would be good for pre-sliced pizzadilla veggies. ;) I'm sure I'll find many other uses, especially for staying overnight elsewhere. LOL

I had to quote this because of "Euclid." That is the name of the street of my early-childhood home (in Rhode Island!). :D

Euclid Avenue is one of two "main drags" here on the West Side, just three blocks behind us.... it's fondly nicknamed The Kill-way.

When I lived in Philly, I heard the Schuylkill (pronounced SKOO-kuhl) Expressway referred to as the "Sure-kill," lol.
 
Euclid Street is where I lived in Santa Monica for almost 26 years. I had to spell the street name for EVERYONE. The two streets on either side of Euclid are 12th and 14th, so whoever numbered the streets in that area was clearly superstitious. :p

I remember hearing of this thoroughfare in "Major League" in the scene during which Renee Russo's character tells Tom Berenger's character that her wedding is at "All Saints on Euclid." :D I had to look up where that was in Cleveland. :D

NexCare bandages because they stay on longer than Band-Aids do.

Yep, I'm not kidding about this, guys. I developed a bleeding blister on my left foot, and put Band-Aids on it to protect it while it's healing. I had to keep replacing them because each one would come right off when I got out of my daily shower. Then I switched to NexCare on Friday, AND IT'S STILL THERE ON MY FOOT ON MONDAY. Saves me money because I don't have to keep replacing them every day. ;)

I hate Bandaid brand! They don't stay well- I think the plastic just tear off.
Honestly, I take the band aids from work to just have around. I used to buy Targets cause they were a buck.

soy chorizo
extra firm tofu
tempeh
The Dynamo juice that would be vegan if not for D3
peas
Meatless meatballs
TJ's midsummer nights creme- lotion

On my way back from Jer's earlier, I stopped at Kroger for a few things... beer, chips, discounted mushrooms, chocolate coconut-milk (for coffee... they're still out of Silk hazelnut creamer), an onion, and two celery stalks (25¢/each).

I had to go to CVS Pharmacy today. Besides the approximately $21 I spent getting there and back via Lyft, I also got:

Levothyroxine prescription (generic for Synthroid) which was actually free because I have Medi-Cal.
Two store brand packages of simethicone (anti-gas relief, generic for Gas X), one in pill form and one in chewable tablet form so I'd have a choice.
Two Aveeno facial moisturizer with SPF 15, buy one get 50% off the second one. I also had a store coupon for 20% off beauty products
Two small bags of Rold Gold pretzels
Two store brand cans of chocolate covered almonds, 2 @ $5.50 each.
One 1.5L bottle of drinking water
Two tubes of Sensodyne toothpaste, with a store coupon for $3 off minimum $15 Sensodyne products.
Two Amy's non-dairy veggie burritos.
Plus with other discounts saved to my rewards card, I saved $35.29 on my shopping trip.

I was going to walk over to Vons supermarket, in the same shopping center, for a few grocery items, but I forgot my paper coupons, which annoyed me because I'm usually so good at remembering to bring them whenever I go shopping. :bang: Don't get old. That's why I grabbed the Rold Gold pretzels (they don't have Snyder's of Hanover for which I have paper coupons) and the burritos from the freezer case.
