Last Thing You Bought?

I noticed my socks had holes in them and realised my boot had a hole in the sole of the left foot.:rolleyes:

I ordered some new faux leather boots online.

I also bought a red dress and a lightweight red scarf from the £1 charity shop. I blame the woman online who told me the locations of these £1 shops in London. I can't walk past one without going in and usually buying at least one item.:rofl:

I need to have a proper clear out of my wardrobe next week and will donate them to a recycling place, the old boots can go as well.
 
- Matrass for the car cage
- Airbag for it too
- A lock for it
- And some straps to get the cage stand still in the car

And still working for getting to by new stamps albums. I finally got an answer from the company, now I just need to change the delivery so I can pick it up here I live, and not send it via Oslo to get me to pick it up at the mall.

We have not that many post offices in Norway anymore, and often it's post in some kind of store. Lucliy it moved from a terrible store to another that is a bit better, but that means I have to go to the mall. I wished we could set up where to pick up our things, cause it's a place that is about the same time to drive, but easier to access and even open on Sundays.

Yay! Look what i obtained! :clp: :woo:
Soil with minerals added, suitable for veggies; 6-litre pot; mangold seeds (swiss chard). Tomorrow or on Sunday i'll need to buy one more sack of soil, because this sack is not enough for this pot and for mangold roots.

It's lipoic acid (Tioctacid BV), manufactured in Germany. 100 pills cost $48. It helps my liver a lot.:sheep: It also lowers blood pressure to very low points, therefore it helps me to have a decent sleep.:yes: Its main goals are: reparation of mitochondrion DNA; inhibition of poisonous metals and free radicals; normalization of energy, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, regulation of cholesterol metabolism, prevention of exogene and endogene factors' influence on liver cells. In a nutshell, it's a powerful antioxidant and hepatoprotector.:ma:The information about lipoic acid is one of the most precious things that i've ever received from my acquaintances. It was a long time ago, when i knew absolutely nothing, so it was tremendously helpful, and at the first place, it saved my dad's life (he didn't appreciate it, obviously), and then it saved my life (and continues saving me every day).:angel: It's a fact, that as we age, the concentration of lipoic acid in the body decreases dramatically, so it's a good thing - to take it in order to stay in good physical and mental condition.:zen:

I took the moldy dates back to Trader Joes. Kinda ****** off as Aldi has a double cash back guarantee, which I've only used a handful of times in all the years of going there. Frozen mango that tasted like fish (to everyone I asked to try!), Freezer burned edamame, and some defective kitchen thing. Trader Joes I rarely go to, yet have had spoiled within expire date tofus several times, several kinds. Bad vegan cheese. Subpar fruit, and now moldy dates. Why I'm upset is they never seem to care. They take them back no issue, but they never have asked! I have to interject that "hey, you should pull this food!"
While I was there though, I got more tempeh (if they ever discontine tempeh I'm done...). The very good heirloom oranges, the prunes without potassium sorbate (which i've learned isn;t good for you:rolleyes:), sprouted tofu (fingers crossed) and sea salt. I think I messed with getting fine as my sons didn;t like it :rolleyes:

I’m sorry you’ve had some bad experiences shopping at Trader Joe’s. I don’t recall having the same problems you’ve had, and I’ve shopped at different Trader Joe’s for years. Maybe it’s the specific store and not the chain.

Judging from what AccuWeather tells me, today is basically the last day of winter in Agoura Hills. Temps will be in the 50’s and we’re having showers today. BUT it’s going to get warmer. Temps in the 60’s and 70’s, dry, dry, dry, sunny skies. Spring officially arrives March 20, so it’s just ten days away.

Time to stock up on that ‘ol allergy medicine. :p :eek: :rolleyes:
 
I ordered an air purifier. I did have one before but it was crap so I donated it to a charity shop. This one was more expensive so I hope it works better! Reduced from £140 to about £80.:cool:

I buy only dry goods at Trader Joe's. I really don't trust the produce or now the tofu, though the one time I bought it, I used it the next day after reading here at VV that some of you had trouble with spoiling food. I loathe the vegan cheese, though. I can't believe how bad it was. It was almost sweet. It had the weirdest flavor ever, IMHO. I use Aldi for now, because it's cheaper and somewhat edible, though I still prefer Chao or Daiya.
 
I made an Aldi's run:
Vegan meatless balls (I haven't had these before, so I'm giving them a shot)
Vegan flame-grilled soy burgers
Plum jam
Dill pickle chips
Dry-roasted peanuts
Vegan mozzarella
Tortilla chips
Pretzels
Iceberg lettuce salad mix
Broccoli
Green grapes
Blueberries
Celery
Cranberry juice cocktail
A can of black beans
A can of dark red kidney beans

Today, from "Okey" mall:smile::
2 bars of very suspicious soap with papaya fragrance;
Disgusting mandarin juice;
2 cans of red beans;
A can of sweet corn;
24 small packs of citrus salad dressing;
Apple cider vinegar;
Raw shredded beets;
2 huge boxes of pickled yuba;
1 huge box of georgian-style chopped cabbage;
1 small pack of chopped kale;
2 packs of wet wipes;
3 asian pears;
500g of kuraga and a stupid weekly magazine about UFOs (in Avtovo subway tunnel).
P.S. I've come to a conclusion that i need to find vegan soap (again... i had a few bars once, and it felt fantastic, especially with the mild water from the tap in Petrozavodsk city, where i was on vacations, maybe, 7 yrs ago).:pride:

I really like those meatless balls- the classic style more than the Italian, but I'm not much of a fan of Italian seasonings :shrug:
I also like the soy burgers- closest to the ones I recall from my elementary school! I loved those !
Darn it I want a burger now! I just might...I have Gardein in the freezer ;)

I got the Italian style because of the spices. :D The soy burger is my favorite of the veggie burgers at Aldi. I confess I am not a fan of the others I have tried: the quinoa one, the regular veggie one and the chick'n one. I thought they all were too bland for me.

I got some tablets from the Traditional Chinese Medicine place and some wine at the shop. I found a black handbag in a different charity shop, less than £5 and it was brand new.:)

I also bought some chickpea crisps and a bottle of water.

We have the vet tonight so that will be a big bill as my cat is probably having thyroid surgery tomorrow. Expensive day, probably about £600 in all.

Vegan flame-grilled soy burgers

Dill pickle chips

They both sound delicious.

I so hope your kitty will be OK. Lots of good vibes for a speedy recovery.

They are. And the burgers are much cheaper than Beyond or Impossible burgers, both of which I love, but both of which are not in the budget right now. :D
