Last Thing You Bought?

I think I need to try that...a 30 day ban from online shopping in general. But I love the convenience, especially getting cat supplies from Chewy.com.
 
  • 2 frozen Kashi creamy cashew noodle bowls (vegan)
  • 2 Dr. McDougall's vegan Pad Thai noodle soups (gave one to Jer)
  • 1 package Chao creamy original
  • 2 Core organic peach/mango beverages
  • 6-pack Founders All Day IPA

And I like that Kroger is trying harder.... used a couple of the new digital coupons (that can be used 5 times!) and they do this.... :clp:

Shopping trip to Vons today:

Minute Rice ready to serve white and red quinoa, two 2-packs, because it was on special 2/$5 with my Vonsclub card.

4-pack Tejava tea, on sale for Vonsclub cardholders

Six boxes of Celestial Seasonings tea, different varieties, all with either digital or paper coupons, because they don’t offer much tea variety here, and I thought the other residents might like something different. I gave them to the activities director for the residents who aren’t able to buy their own tea.

1.5 liter bottle of Crystal Geyser water, special price for Vonsclub cardholders.

1 bag of Snyder’s sourdough pretzel nibblers, special price for Vonsclub cardholders

2 Zone Perfect protein bars, chocolate peanut butter, BOGO free AND Vonsclub discount

1 box Zone Perfect protein bars, chocolate peanut butter, digital coupon AND Vonsclub discount

1 container of cut fresh mango

1 package of dried mango as consolation for finding seitan in the produce section - but with an expiration date that had already passed. :wtf:(4/9/18, really?)

1 package of Tofurky Deli Slices, hickory smoked flavor, see the dried mango above

2 boxes of fresh blueberries, 2/$5

1 bistro salad, Caprese, which I ate for dinner tonight, along with French fries, because I didn’t want anything on the menu.

I want to buy some sunglasses next week and also look for a few new items of clothing. I was trying to not buy clothes for a year but as the weather was so cold and snowy I ended up buying new things to wear.

I went through my wardrobe last week and donated all the clothes I didn't like or need and ended up getting rid of 2 massive bags of stuff. I have hardly got anything left.:p

I have been reading a blog by a woman called Jennifer L Scott as she wrote a book about the 10 item wardrobe and I want to try that idea. You get 10 core items for each season and then t-shirts and cardigans count as extras. I will probably look for mostly dresses or skirts as I find them more comfortable.

Manitoba hemp hearts ($1 off coupon on website!)
head of cauliflower
those tiny sweet peppers
poblano pepper
both medjool dates and deglet noir to compare (both delicious, deglet not as strong a 'date' taste)
Sriracha and black pepper peanuts- 2 different kinds
fresh ground dry roasted peanut butter
fresh organic beets
cacao powder
organic gala apples
bulk baby bella mushrooms- pretty big for babys!
Everything was on a great sale! Mushrooms are so cheap in bulk it doesn't even make sense. I got 8 oz for .99 cents :confused:

Ooh, they sound nice.

I haven't had sriracha in a while as I usually buy Frank's hot sauce. I went through a stage of making the buffalo cauliflower bites all the time. I saw on Cheap Lazy Vegan that she uses an air fryer to make hers and they looked really delicious.
 
Hemp hearts are really good! They taste kinda like sunflower seeds
When I was a teenager I would collect the seeds in a big jar. I remember thinking they might be really good to eat, but worried that maybe they would be bad, so I didn't try them much.

I like them in my oatmeal.

I have food and litter, and Cali's lysine treats, on auto ship from chewy. I'd be in such a bind without them!

I just ordered a SanDisk 32 GB MicroSD card from Amazon. My Verizon Ellipsis 8 tablet only has 16 GB storage, and I’ve run out of room and can no longer install app updates on it. I’ve already had to uninstall some apps that I didn’t want to remove in order to make room, and it still didn’t help.

A new Samsung Galaxy Tab E tablet to replace the Verizon Ellipsis 8 I bought three years ago and isn’t worth crap now. Plus a new screen protector for my iPhone. I’m still in the Verizon store waiting for the new tablet to finish setting up. I’m relieved that I now have enough storage to put a few apps on my tablet AND be able to install app updates without having to clear cached data five times a day. Plus, I don’t have to pay it off over a two year period (which is when it’ll be time to replace the NEW tablet), which is what I did with my old tablet. I can pay off the remaining cost after the 14 day return period. Chloe in the Verizon store said she was amazed that my Ellipsis lasted as long as it did.

I did manage to stop buying from Amazon for 30 days but it was in 2 sections over 2 months, oh well. :D

I bought some vegan protein powder to put in my smoothies. I'm about to try it now. I want to see if I notice any difference in my energy levels.

Vega Essentials Nutritional Powder, vegan, gluten free, vanilla.

We had our weekly shopping outing today, at the 99 Cents Only Store in Thousand Oaks. I bought:

Three boxes of Kleenex tissues
1 bag Granny Goose tortilla strips
1 box of nice looking strawberries
1 bag of raw broccoli pieces
1 bag of peeled carrots

I haven’t had raw broccoli in so long, my colon will probably freak out and explode. :broccoli::potty:

I got aduzi beans and rice flour from the Indian grocery. There's so many different kinds of grains, spices, beans, dals, - everything!
I used the rice flour as batter for oven baked buffalo cauliflower. Much better than besan! The batter that pooled on the baking sheet made like those crispy rice crackers I like so much :yes:. I'll be experimenting with crackers soon! I guess I should some nori too!
Making adzuki beans and brown rice in the Instant Pot now! Same cook times!
