Last Thing You Bought?

Did you go to an actual Penzeys store? I’ve only visited their website. The Penzeys store in Santa Monica closed a while back, and I think there’s only one store left in Los Angeles County, and it’s maybe a two hour drive from here. I’d love to browse in one of their brick and mortar stores, but not practical, alas.
Yes! The one by me moved just a couple blocks from where they were, but this strip makes it so much easier to get to and park! Right by a Whole Foods too! It's arranged so nicely, with displays of 'like' seasonings together, with some in a canister to smell. I wished it was smell and taste, but just smell :rolleyes:.
I couldn't believe they had the free gift boxes :eek:. That was an incredible gift!
Can't wait to try the Zatar! and make a corned beef seitan with the juniper!

A few books and another summer dress.

I had a strange urge to stop at the Goodwill Sun, for no particular reason. I made my way around without anythijng, thinking that they overpriced stuff, when I saw a Ninja Professional Kitchen system- blender, processor, even dough blade and a kneading thing- on a rack ready to be put out. The parts inside were still in their cardboard fittings- and priced at $15.00 :eek:.
I thought if it didn't work I'd give it to a tech I work with, but it works! I downloaded the manual, that's all that was missing

Do I really need this? I did a while ago, and bought a $36. Oster blender, and I have a cheap processor o_O...
Pretty happy though! Have to try it out

Wow, I missed this the first time. Very lucky!:jump:

$7 worth of bulk nutritional yeast flakes
Lucky you!;) I'd like to buy it whenever i want, but we don't have it here, so, the only thing i could find is a seasoning for fajita, i presume,- as it's called "Fajita"o_O. It contains much yeast, but also a bunch of everything. I'd like to have it plain...:sigh::sheep:

There are different types of yeast, though.... Does it say what kind?

Yeah..., well, we have ONLY baker's yeast and brewer's yeast :pout:. And this exact condiment is estonian [how on earth???], and has nutritional yeast (like your beloved Nooch!) inside:iiam:. I was calling vegan shops in order to find out whether they have nooch or not, but it seems that due to this f***ing embargo(!) (i presume, i don't need to tell you what it is) we really have NO american stuff anywhere.:wtf::bang: :fp: But perhaps i wasn't looking thoroughly enough. Maybe it exists in some analog somewhere....:shrug:OTOH, i don't think it's worth it: i've been living without it somehow for 15 yrs of my veganism, hehehe:D.

The end of an era. :eek:

They don’t offer coupons on their website, but I wonder, if you contacted them, would they send you some? :shrug:
I was hoping to use it on their "cream cheese" but my Kroger's been out of that for a while, too. Tofutti's website doesn't say anything about coupons or signing up for news/savings/etc. But Discount Health Foods carry their products... they're pricey, but I have three DHF coupons for 20%-off entire purchase, and they don't expire until the end of October. ;)

^ I have had the same problem with plums this year.

I bought some more summer stuff, I needed a hat to wear out during the day in this heat so I bought a Calvin Klein baseball cap.

Your roots are showing, my friend. Your Rhode Island roots, that is!
:D I knew a fellow New Englander would pick up on that one, hehe. I was stunned to find it in a Connecticut store! And it was the big one, so I have a good supply now. I know it's totally unhealthy, but it sure tastes great in almond milk and iced coffee.
