Last Thing You Bought?

As much as I dislike my new local supermarket, they had Starbucks coffee on sale for $5.99 so I bought six!
 
I just ordered some weights that you can strap to your ankles or your wrists.

Somehow 6 bottles of vegan white wine got added to my order too.:innocent:
 
  • 1 bag Alexia frozen organic Yukon Select fries
  • 2 bags Kroger frozen chopped broccoli
  • 1 box Kroger frozen naked potato skins
  • 2 Founders All Day IPA tall-boys
  • 1 half-gallon Silk organic unsweetened soymilk
  • 1 Mrs. Dash table blend
  • 1 large Kroger garlic powder
  • 1 large sweet onion
  • 2 Roma tomatoes
 
After reading about vegan stuff at Walmart Superstores I decided to go find out. I left about 4 and found so many empty shelves! They do have a spot when you first walk in and had Field Roast sausages and Tofurky Italian, deli slices, and Chao - but only the tomato one, and it was almost$6. so the same prices as everywhere else....only vegan cheese. No grapefruits, no Just Mayo...their frozen veggie section was really lacking...Morningstar Gardien and Boca were overpriced, or at least the same as most stores

They did have the Great value eggless pasta ribbons though! I got 3 packs, $2.29 a 12oz bag

They have a great selection of ethic foods, particularly Hispanic. I got Goya corn tortillas, and frozen plantains and Adobe seasoning.
I found a decent parve packet of artificial chicken flavor ramen that had decent ingredients. Figured I can leave it at work
Two boxes of their Grape Nuts knock offs


Ohhhhh! While looking for dolmas (didn't find) I found a spot for Teta garlic dip! Empty of course, but from now on I'll place orders online if I want stuff and just pick it up there!

All in all it traumatized me. I hate Walmarts for many reasons!

Yeah, Walmart sucks. LOL

Kroger was out of Teta for the longest time... when I noticed they had it again, I bought a jar... went back the next day for two more. :rolleyes:

I did the same thing with Chao. :p

Project Turtle (my austerity plan for those who might not have seen this, hehe) took a (big) day off, so I bought the following:

At T.J. Maxx/Home Goods:
A very pretty black dress with tiny white stars on it, fluted long sleeves and a ruffled hem (it's knee-length) and a scoop-neck white collar; exercise pants. I can wear this dress for a bridal shower I'm going to next month. It's really cute, I must say, and very comfortable. It's kind of stretchy, but it falls nicely without being clingy.

At Savers (a thrift store chain):
4 t-shirts that I will use as exercise clothes (half-off sale, so I got all four for a total of $3), a book about Walter Kronkite and a CD that's a tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughn. My total bill was $10. :)

At Kohl's:
Two hooded pullover sweatshirts, one with the outline of a bear on it and the other with Snoopy lying on the doghouse, for $10 apiece.
 
The last things I bought were a book and a pair of amber glasses. I read that you wear the glasses at night before you go to bed to block out the blue light and it is meant to help you sleep better. I did sleep in until 6 today and I usually wake up at 5 so I think it did help.

My friend coined it, kind of like a turtle going into his shell to represent a curbing of spending. :D

I bought another book today, stop buying books. I'm so annoying and have no will power.:oops:

I was thinking:
1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hmm, no - unlikely.
2. It's Turtle Time - Ramona Singer - Real Housewives of New York - unlikely
3. You are saving up to adopt a turtle from a rescue centre - maybe.

Lol.

LOL, too funny, Moll! The third one would have been the most probable. I don't think I've ever seen Real Housewives. :D

Blueberries, strawberries, a big pineapple- in anticipation of buying a Nutrition Extractor from Aldi this wednesday! :D. My matcha will have arrived by then!
a half gallon of Silk nutprotien- will try some in coffee soon. Love that milk!
2 lbs of frozen cauliflower, fresh asparagus, swiss chard.
10 pound bag of potatoes. Why do they have to price 10 pound bags just a little more than 5? I really didn't need 10 pounds! Won't let them go bad though. Aldis are non gmo
Went to three stores. Dollar Tree doesn't have the 16 oz carton of plain almond milk anymore :( Was disappointed. I did get their lovely vegan soap! This time coconut shea. Soapworks I think

How could I forget- Ben & Jerrys non almond ice cream. Coffee for me and Choco brownie for my son. I wish the coffee was stronger and didn't have chocolate pieces. It's like eating a chocolate bar with your ice cream. I would never do that! I tried the brownie and it wasn't as good as I remembered. I thought it tasted 'off', like a chocolate protein shake
