Last Thing You Bought?

I went to one of my £1 charity shops today as I was ****** off about something that happened earlier and wanted a treat, haha.

I got a long black winter coat, a long cardigan, a pink winter scarf and a "silky" blue shirt with bird print.

Only £4 for all of that!:woo:

A woman in the shop paid for a carrier bag for me as I didn't have any change left and then she walked off without taking her change so I was up by 10 pence. I put it in the collection box.:angel:

You’re a good girl. :)
 
My hair dryer died a while ago and I'd searching for a sale. Doesn't seem like they go on sale! Even Big Lots didn't have any under $15. I lucked out with getting a 40% off CVS coupon when I got Halloween candy! I got a great $20 dryer for like $12 something! Now that it's getting cold I like to dry my hair in the morning.Looks better too! :)

£4?!?

I really need to be more frugal haha
 
I got a £35 blazer from Missguided with a discount code for £24.50.

& a coatigan type thing from Asda (random!) for £22. Which is pretty good as you'd pay as least double for the same thing from topshop. It's really nice :D

Also a king size duvet set from Asda for £12... I'm sure that's cheaper than primark!

My bargains for the day.

I bought a bottle of sauerkraut brine itself, which is very hard to find in the standard grocers. And of course sour sauerkraut:rolleyes:
 
I went shopping at Vons yesterday. Let’s see, what did I get? I’m doing this from memory since I don’t have the receipt in front of me.

Westsoy Seitan strips
2 packages of Tofurky deli slices, hickory smoked
Clementine oranges, 3 lb bag
Sunsweet D’Noir prunes
2 Mini babybel cheese bags, one sharp original and one white cheddar

(Stopped to use the loo and now I have my receipt)

Two bags of Snyder’s of Hanover sourdough pretzel nibblers
Mission organic corn tortillas (non GMO; the nonorganic actually says genetically modified on the package)
Two bottles of drinking water
1 package tic tac mints, wintergreen, coupon
1 3-pack white athletic socks, quarter top
2 3-packs black athletic socks, quarter top
3 Caprese salads, at 3/$10

It looks like I’ll be having one of those salads soon, as the menu specials for both lunch and dinner today are almost completely omni and look unappetizing. :yuck:

And, oh, yeah, when I was swiping my VonsClub card and the machine asked me to donate to hurricane relief, I said, “Why not?” and added $5 to my total.

I said this on another thread on here that I bought my husband some clothes today for his upcoming 47th birthday. I spent about £100 for three tops and I had a 20% money off voucher.

That charity shop is amazing. I have been looking for a £1 black winter coat in there for a few weeks and finally found one!

Asda has some nice things.:) I bought one of their bed covers a few years ago and it is really good quality for the price.

Ugh, my iPhone lightning cable needed replacing, AGAIN. Apple makes such crappy charging cords, but third-party charging cables are supposed to be worse. So I just bought another cable from the Apple store, length 2 m, for $31.76, including sales tax. I should get it next Wednesday. At least I can get the old cords recycled.

I bought three very cool books from Goodwill!
One is a crazy detailed quest and coloring book with amazing illustrations! I've been wanting to do a glass painting and it has the perfect tracings for stained glass!
The second is a book on creating cat towers and bridges for your home.
Third is a mastery of English words and phrases I'll give to my Korean friend to donate to her church.

Dam, dam, dam... I just remembered at Goodwill they had one lovely crimson window panel I loved! It had a sort of Indian pattern in gold and black- and I didn't take it right away, and forgot. It was exactly what I'd have liked for my narrow side window :(
 
I'm pretty happy now! This morning I told my son about finding winter snow boots in his size and he said he'd like them. They were like new and a very good brand, so I figured I'd take a chance and go back this morning.Not only did were they still there, I found a pair of Columbia snow boots for myself! And...the curtain was still, and had a blue tag which today meant one. dollar.!
And I got three cool tee shirts and a pair of jeans! It came to $59! Which was a lot, but his boots were $20 and mine $15
I'll take a pic of the curtain after the wash :)
 
I've been so bored being ill and stuck inside the house that I keep ordering stuff online.:blush:

I bought two paper books from Amazon, some new vegan trainers and some new insoles. I also bought my husband some retro, old-fashioned sweets that he wanted.

I ordered some CBD oil too as I got sent a discount for Halloween and thought I may as well try it at least once to see if it works with pain relief.:shrug:

Please let me know how you get on with the cbd! & where you got it? I saw that they've started selling it in h&b but kept meaning to do some research to see it it's the best available (I don't think it is. )
