Last Thing You Bought?

My son has a throw that's a faux fur that never holds cat hair! It doesn't look that different from others, I guess maybe a smoother shinier fiber, but doesn't trap hair at all. Every other throw gets hairs entwined, or pills them up in the dryer, but this one is hair repellent! He's had his whole life.
I've seen ones that look like it called 'mink' but labeled polyester

Why isn't there a huge market for things that don't collect hair and are more claw resistant?
 
I hate the pilling. It’s so annoying. I usually put stuff in the dryer first, with a dryer sheet...if the hairs aren’t trapped in theh fibers, most of it comes off. Then I wash it and end up with less pilling. It really does work.

Another tip I saw on Facebook is to use a disposable vinyl glove. I put the glove on and wipe down the sheets and blankets and the friction makes almost all of the hair comes off. I do it on the furniture and carpet, too. It takes a little muscle, and my arm gets tired, lol, but it really works well.
 
I have an old wire cat brush I use. The vinyl glove trick does a great job, but I save that for clothes!
A damp washcloth is easier I think
 
Actually, I have used a damp cloth on the stairs carpet and it does work really well.
 
^ I love cosy blankets and throws.<3

I bought some stuff from Holland & Barrett as they sent me a voucher and they also had a sale on. I bought far more than I meant to. Amy's soups, vegan pate, vegan mayo, vegan chocolate, houmous crisps and lentil crisps, pasta sauce, soya custards, three types of tea and some chamomile essential oil.

It was a bargain though and it is all stuff I can keep in my stock cupboard.:)

They had Follow Your Heart Vegan Egg (£7.99!) but I didn't like The Vegg when I tried it so I didn't buy that.

Pretty sure that’s what I just tried and it was just ok. But a lot of people really like it...good for them! :p
 
The most recent thing I bought was a pair of snow boots at a Walmart in Philly (thankfully only $26). I now have 5, yes 5, pairs of "snow" boots, only one of which I really need to own, since I live in Virginia where we get, on average, two snow storms of note each year. :rolleyes: Seems as though at least once a year, though, I end up in Philly, NYC or Buffalo when an unanticipated weather event blows in, and I'm stuck in my (usually) cloth shoes. o_O

Yay, you're back! :starshower:
 
I bought white chocolate ground coffee from Aldi- It was a seasonal special and they only had one. I was so excited I didn't look at ingredients- I bet it has dairy :sniff:. I'm gonna go look--
artificial and natural flavorings. I'm gonna let this one slide...:rolleyes:
 
I ordered a new black bag as I wanted one large enough to fit A4 folders, laptop etc... into it. I also bought some more dog toys (big surprise!) and two necklaces and a watch. I haven't worn a watch in ages, but I have felt like I have needed one in some situations over the past few months. It feels rude getting my phone out to check the time in front of someone?:confused::p

That will be my last online purchases of the year apart from groceries as I want to cut back on online spending next year.

I did see that Ocado have Tofurky with herb gravy (£11.99) and I thought it seemed too expensive as I wasn't sure if I would like or if he would like it either.

I actually think I will try it this year and then keep the rest for sandwiches in the days after. It says it has a two day life. I assume I probably will like it as I like most vegan meats.:)

Sunday night, when I stopped at Family Video, I bought three "used" movies... from the cheapie 2/$3 table, I picked up A Hologram for the King (2016) - IMDb and Once Around (1991) - IMDb... and from the new(ish) releases in the racks I bought Hidden Figures (2016) - IMDb.

I'm grabbing this stuff at Kroger shortly:

^ OMG, I have such a craving for tacos after I saw a YouTube video the other day. A woman had just gone vegan a year ago and she was showing what she ate in a typical day. She put spicy potatoes, tofu and Daiya cheese into taco shells.:drool:

When I was newly vegetarian in my high school days, a friend of mine invited me over for dinner. It was taco night so she seasoned some rice with taco seasoning and I used that in place of ground beef. Otherwise, the toppings were the same.

Last night at Kroger I bought:
  • 1 bag Simple Truth organic frozen broccoli cuts
  • 1 Amy's roasted vegetable no cheese pizza
  • 1 Amy's Bowl (brown rice, black-eyed peas, & veggies)
  • 1 Amy's gluten-free/dairy-free rice mac & cheeze
  • 1 Amy's gluten-free/dairy-free vegetable lasagna
  • 1 Amy's non-dairy bean & rice burrito
  • 15-pack Founder's All Day IPA (cans)
  • 1 can Kroger no-salt black beans
  • 1 can Kroger Cannellini beans
  • 1 can Kroger garbanzos
  • 1 bag Daiya mozzarella-style shreds
  • 1 carton Fresh Selections sliced portobello mushrooms (discount bin)
  • 1 carton Simple Truth organic power greens (baby spinach/mizuna/chard/kale)

Oh, this was funny.... I was fixing a cup of coffee several minutes ago, looked in the door of the fridge & thought to myself, "I really hope I can make some ranch dressing before the rest of that soy milk goes bad" ('cuz Kroger's been out of the vegan garlic dip I use for quite a long time).... Not even 20 seconds later, my father walks in with a few things from Kroger & holds out a jar of Teta Foods garlic dip! LOL :D

Well I did buy a lot of odds and ends stuff, including a vegan soap from the Dollar Tree- Shugar Soapworks oatmeal verbana. Smells like a lemon head, they also had a oatmeal coconut, very coconuty- big bars with the leaping bunny!
Got my son big bottles of kombucha on sale, but forgot the juniper berries :(. That was the store that has spices in bulk. I wanted to make a seitan corned beef and juniper really gives it that corned quality
